A dark November evening approached. The Jounin prepared his war-uniform, and it was time say good-bye to his family.
Yes, for once. He cared.
The blonde eyed his parents, peeking out from the doorstep of his room silent. He knew he wouldn't get to join them. They didn't care.
Hayate hugged his lover tightly, kissing her forehead. " I'll get back.. Only time will tell " , he muttered silent, looking down in the female's eyes from his tall length. The other leaned her head on his chest, hugging back.
They stood there for mintues, until letting go of eachother. The brunette then eyed the crystal blue eye that had been gazing at them for a long while now without getting noticed. " And Deidara " , Hayate muttered, spreading his arms.
Was this true? Or was this just another joke?
The blonde stepped into his room completely. It was all a joke to just press him down even more. After all mistakes he had made in earlier days, of course. No stupidity would be left inside of him anymore. It was fine anyway. That stupid so called father could go and die in that stupid war anyway!
Footsteps neared the door.
Please don't come closer, stupid!
Those familiar steps.
IDIOT!
A hand placed itself onto the blonde's shoulder, and Deidara got pulled up into a tight hug. " I'll be missing you.. " , the man muttered silent.
It was too late to run away. It was too late to even try to hide it. Tears already streamed down his face. He trembled heavily, and didn't even notice how tightly he hugged the older man back. His own father. The man that he once wanted to make so proud, but also the man he hated so deeply in to his heart.
" Deidara, don't cry " , Hayate muttered, stroking his son's back.
But it didn't give to hold the cries in.
It was embarrasing to cry like a little baby infront of his high-classed father, but who cared? Now he cared. It was like he had woken up from a horrible nightmare. It had finally ended.
The cries continued in minutes until they turned into silent sobs. The brunette wiped his son's cheeks, smiling a bit. " I'll go out to protect you and your mother, right? Of course I'll come back. No need to be sad about it ".
The blonde didn't have words to answer, and didn't want to let go. " D-Daad.. " , he whimpered.
But the hug had to break sometime. It couldn't last forever.
Hayate left to the hallway, Deidara following. It was almost like the blonde wanted to go out in the war together with his father. But someone took his hand before he could go out.
Yori hugged her son gentle, and the man of the house left. The steps faded away as he closed the door, soon gone.
The mother and son was left all alone in the apartment - still hugging. Still confused about what to do.
The village was protected constantly and no one was allowed in or out, making it anxious. Prices of food had been growing expensive, and the economy was getting really bad. Deidara and Yori still held their house to stand at the same spot along with the other people that lived there. At the night it was always tense, and no one really got a good-all night sleep. Months of war had been tiring for everyone, even Ohnoki had enough. But even as the Tsuchikage, the HQs demanded war. There was nothing he could do.
There was an constant argument going on in the Hidden Rock, and soon no one was worth trusting. It had come to that time when you just sit under your bed, or in your basement, waiting for all the noise to just go away.
It never did.
