Leaves in the Wind
Sasori sauntered beneath the thick cover of the trees, his hands thrust deep into his pockets as he tried to ignore the bellyaching blond at his heels. His eyebrow twitching ever so slightly, as the child droned on and on about his aching feet. A short pause, then on again as the boy remembered his empty stomach.
"Danna, I'm hungry!" Deidara bleated, shuffling behind his caretaker. "I'm gonna starve, un!" The small blond pouted, glowering at the redhead's back. "You want me to starve. You want me to die! I'm telling Zetsu, un!" At this, Sasori had, had enough of the whimpering; he swiftly turned on his heel and pointed a finger to Deidara's forehead.
Deidara jumped back a few inches, startled at how quick Sasori was. He scrunched his eyes shut, expecting to be struck. Though, after a few horrifying seconds, the youth peeked from under his lashes at the older male.
Much to his surprise, Deidara found the redhead's eyes downcast, worry creasing his brow. The petite child cocked his head to the side, confused by the peculiar behavior. "Un?"
Sasori cleared his throat, distress clouding the ordinarily impassive russet gaze. "We'll go find a place to rest and eat, Okay?" He muttered, swiveling back to the path, running a hand through his disheveled hair. The blond child broke into a smile as the pair trudged along in silence for a few short minutes.
Sasori sighed; he was trying his best not to reprimand the child. But he is such a huge brat, he pondered, glancing at the dark trunks and overgrown sheet of green lining the path.
The forest was dense, to say the least. Traces of sunlight flitted through the leaves overhead as the wind stirred the treetops. The faint calls of birds wafting along the breeze. Specks of light drifted lazily in the distance, Sasori squinted at the lights, brows furrowing in concentration.
Deidara watched the elder, uncertain if Sasori had seen something amazing. The boy halted behind the redhead, peeking around the other's legs. He held onto Sasori's pants, tugging lightly in anticipation. "Are they fireflies, Danna?" Sasori risked a glimpse away from the dancing fires to pat Deidara's head lightly. "Un." The blond sneezed and frowned, upset that he received no answer.
"I don't know. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I don't think they are that important, though." Sasori surveyed the child clinging to his leg, rubbing his half-lidded eyes, he began again. "Anyway, shouldn't we be looking for somewhere to relax? Also, I do recall that you were starving not too long ago, Brat." The sleepy looking male pulled Deidara's hand away from his pant leg and held the child's hand.
It felt so tiny, yet so warm, he noted as he lead Deidara deeper into the forest. Deidara yawned, rubbing his belly with a free hand and hummed a soft, "Un." Sasori grimaced at the ever-present sound the blond tacked on to, almost, every statement, he squeezed the child's hand, earning another of the offending noises.
He would have to fix that later, he thought. Perhaps speech therapy or maybe he could punish the blond until he learned better. He could not help but feel his lips twitch upward as he realized how much thought he was putting in to this.
The pair walked on for a short while longer, searching for a pleasant clearing to rest. They arrived at an area, dotted with patches of dry earth, Deidara, suddenly full of energy, bounded from Sasori's side and collapsed in the largest ray of sunshine that penetrated the cavernous woodland. The blond giving a loud, "oomph!" as an apple landed on his gut. Ignoring the smirking redhead, he seized the apple, chomping noisily.
Deidara rolled onto his stomach and propped himself up on his elbows, apple dangling from his grinning mouth. Sasori rolled his eyes and moved to a darker area, still in the clearing but just out of the suns reach. He yawned again, folding his arms over his chest and leaned his back against a tree, sliding down slowly.
"Don't eat your apple like that, Brat. You'll upset your stomach."
Hey, this might turn out to be a story!? What? Why do I always finish so late? -.- I need to stop getting distracted.
