Deidara held Sasori's puppet body in his shaking arms. Plink, Plink, Plink. His tears dribbled down his chin and landed on the coold cement floor. A sob wracked his entire body to it's very core.
"Heh." Sasori half smiled even on the brink of death. "You should be happy. This proves you were right all along, art isn't supposed to be eternal." He reached up a quaking hand and wiped his love's tears.
"No!" Deidara's heart throbbed with undeniable pain. "You said you'd last forever, un!" His arms tighened around the dying puppet.
Sasori swiftly swiped the blonde's bangs behind his ear. "It was a simple miscalculation on my part."
"Yeah..." Deidara's voice turned soft. "Yeah, a miscalculation, un."
Sasori laughed, a real laugh, and Deidara could almost imagine they were back in their room arguin about art. "Hey..." Sasori flinched but sat up anyway. "Remember when Hidan got that wad of gum stuck in your hair and I..."
"... Rubbed peanut butter in my hair for hours, un." Deidara's lips turned up into a brief smile, for months after that their room reeked of the stuff. "Remember when you threatened to turn me into a puppet because I exploded our bed?" Dei's tears were all dried up and his high, giggly laugh mixed with Sasori's low chuckle.
"You hid in the bathroom for weeks." Sasori's eyes were lit with amusement.
"Remember when..." A light, innocent blush dusted Deidara's cheeks. "We first made love?" It was clumsy and awkward but it meant the world to Deidara because that was the first time Sasori showed how much he actually loved him.
"Love can be proven in the briefest of moments like your art." Sasori quoted himself from the cherished memory.
"But it can lat an eternity." Deidara's eyes shined with loneliness. He couldn't save the one man he swore to protect.
"Dei..." Sasori's voice sounded strained and his eyelids fluttered shut. "I'll see you soon."
The human skin of the puppet hardened until it was just mere wood. Deidara shook it so hard it's head snapped back and forth. "Sasori!" He screamed. "Wake up, un! Don't fuck with me, un!" Tears exploded from his eyes and he placed a hand over Sasori's not beating heart chamber.
"I'll get that pink haired whore!" He screamed at no one. "I'll kill her mercilessly, un!"
"Hear that Sasori?!" His voice was edged in crazy. "I'll kill that bitch if it's the last thing I do, un!" He laughed an evil, unsane laugh.
A/N: I was sooo upset when Sasori died and it made me wanna cry when Deidara died too.. Atleast the ended up together in the end..
