To anonymous reviewer Mittens919 – Thanks so much for the review! Pein – maybe… Despite the fact that I am using the Shippuden timeline doesn't mean everything will happen the same. Mostly if I don't put it in, it means that it happened exactly like the anime. If I skip over something, I'll point out changes at some point.
Edited by JJKMagic – Thanks :)
Note – I have been informed of a re-used name, which was used back in the sixth chap. Well their names were reversed…
Souta Takumi in this chapter has been re-named to 'Shin Takashi.'
Hidden Underneath
Chapter 13 – Dealing with the idiotic
Tobi pressed his un-masked face into the golden hair, inhaling the faint sent, as the blond slept, his arms holding the other possessively.
He had slept like this before, yet it felt different now that Deidara was lying here willingly. A small genuine grin appeared at the thought. Just thinking about the night before, made his ecstatic feelings rise, almost overwhelmingly.
It left him aching, a part of him wanting… needing to feel his blond… but knew that doing anything right now might cause harm, he would wait till the blond was ready for it, wanted to do it just as much as he or almost as much.
Deidara shifted slightly in his sleep, pressing his face farther into the well defined chest, blissfully unaware of the widening grin of the raven that held him.
Tobi closed his eye, feeling that his goal… one of his goals was almost achieved. Now that things with Deidara were almost set in stone, he could focus fully on the one goal he'd been working on for years; collecting the tailed beasts.
And hopefully in the next few days they would have the nine-tails. Pein would be leaving for Leaf very soon, if he hadn't already done so. Things should go according to plan, despite how well the blond jinchuuriki was developing, there was no way a sixteen year old would beat Pein, even if he did possess a lot of chakra and access to the Kyuubi's chakra.
And while Pein dealt with the Leaf, he could devote his time to finding Kabuto… Something inside him told him that it would be unwise not to kill Orochimaru's former right hand man, especially since he mutated… he could be trouble…
As Tobi was making plans, Deidara's eyes opened. Instead of seeing something of color, instant darkness was the first thing the artist saw. It took a few moments for Deidara to recall the previous night's events. He realized that his face was pressed into Tobi's dark shirt and that was why he couldn't see.
A thin slice of nerves trailed down his spine, after saying he was giving Tobi a chance it made him rather hesitant to face the other. He didn't know how to act… it made him feel awkward, and Tobi was so confident…
He didn't want to make a fool of himself… or do something embarrassing… Sighing, Deidara closed his eyes, he wasn't going to move right now if he didn't have to. He was warm and comfortable.
Tobi ran a hand through Deidara's long slightly tangled hair when he felt the blond's breathing change, and knew that the other was awake. When Deidara didn't move he murmured softly, "Sleep well?"
"Hmm." Deidara uttered. Tobi's hand was relaxing… He hadn't slept that good in days.
"We'll be leaving soon."
Deidara blinked, but not overly surprised. In Akatsuki, one was constantly busy and there wasn't a whole lot of down time, and certainly not now with everyone going after their quote.
"You just got back…" Deidara muttered, a frown situated on his face. He certainly was not pouting… besides Tobi said 'we', so they'd both be going… together.
"I know… I wanted to see you. And what we'll be doing is something you can help with," Tobi voiced in his velvety tone, his gloved fingers now moving smoothly through the long hair.
Deidara shifted slightly, bringing his arm up a little so that he could grip part of Tobi's dark shirt, while ignoring the way Tobi phrased his sentence that it sounded like he was being insulted…
"Oh?" Deidara hummed.
"There's some intel I want to look into… our goal is to find Kabuto and kill him. Despite the fact that Orochimaru is dead, it would be unwise to leave him alive."
Deidara blinked, ignoring his seething anger at the mention of the snake bastard as he tilted his head back to look at the pale face. It was really something to see Tobi's face after all the years of seeing just an orange swirled mask. It was odd yet made him feel glad that Tobi allowed him to see. His fingers twitched, part of him wanting to touch… to feel Tobi's skin.
"But… Kabuto's just a spy…" Deidara trailed off uncertainly when Tobi hummed lightly.
"True, but he was… is devoted to Orochimaru and even though he is dead, one of Orochimaru's goal's was to get back at the Akatsuki. It can be certain that Kabuto will aim to hurt the Akatsuki in some way, especially since he mutated."
Deidara's eyes widened, his mouth falling open, mutated? That was news to him…
"He experimented on himself… un?" Deidara asked in slight shock and disgust.
Tobi blinked, and realized that Pein had never informed the other members, how could he? With how busy things had gotten.
"To prevent Orochimaru from completely dying he transplanted it into himself… unfortunately for him, it slowly started taking him over. Now he isn't completely Kabuto… there's no telling how much it is him… best to be safe and kill him while we can, and while we have the time." Tobi stated, staring deep into the azure eyes.
Deidara closed his mouth, only now realizing he had opened it, that is one messed up person…
"It shouldn't be too hard to find him… despite his network of spies. He's bound to experiment on people; area's suddenly missing people would be a good lead."
Deidara swallowed tightly, he could easily testify that being experimented on was not fun. Despite being criminals, it wasn't something he condoned nor would wish anyone.
Tobi noticed the slightly haunted look in the azure eyes and frowned, his fist clenching tightly in the long blond hair as anger coursed through him. Damn Orochimaru… it was a shame he hadn't gotten to kill the bastard himself or better yet that Deidara hadn't gotten a chance to do so.
It had been years and Deidara had recovered well from the incident that it was often in the dark recess of his mind; Deidara had been experimented on… and despite that Deidara still hadn't completely gotten over it.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Tobi asked slowly, cautiously. He didn't want to make things worse… or cause the blond to clam up.
Deidara jolted out of his memory at the softly spoken words, his eyes focusing on the red for a moment before he looked away, despite his decision it was still hard to look into those eyes. It would take some time getting used to it. The words processed and he quickly shook his head.
He never wanted…
"Are you sure? The best way to get over something is to talk about it." Tobi inputted, cutting off Deidara's thought.
Lightly Tobi brought his hand to Deidara's face, gently trailing two gloved fingers down the smooth skin.
"Un…" Deidara choked out. What did it matter to talk about it now? It happened years ago... and it certainly wouldn't change what happened… though he did have to admit that Tobi was right, sometimes talking about things helped.
Tobi exhaled softly, before leaning down and gently capturing the artist's lips in a quick, chaste kiss, before murmuring, "Maybe someday."
Deidara blinked, ignoring the light blush on his face as relief flowed through him, grateful that Tobi wasn't pressing the matter. He lowered his face, pressing it into the well defined chest.
Tobi ran his hand through the soft locks, as he stared at golden hair, a devious grin appearing on his pale face.
"You know, Senpai… I can teleport."
Deidara blinked, startled. He glanced up to lock with red, noting the other's expression and to his surprise only felt a little uneasy.
"We can get there so much faster than if we walked or took your bird." Tobi stated, his grin turning mischievous at the slight widening of blue orbs. Not waiting for a reply from the teen he continued, "Meaning we don't have to leave for a while."
Staring at the other's expression and what he was suggesting, instantly made Deidara think of sex. His hand gripped tighter, and he struggled to keep from panicking. He didn't… he wasn't ready for that…
Tobi chuckled lightly, "Silly Senpai. It means we can sleep some more or just lay here."
Deidara's eyebrow twitched, as he struggled to force down his embarrassed blush while muttering under his breath as he lowered his head, "Like you weren't thinking about it, un." Tobi's expression clearly said he wasn't just thinking about sleeping or staying here, like this, for a while.
Dumbass…
Tobi blinked, lightly surprised, before he grinned, Deidara was getting more comfortable around him. Though his blond was right, he had been thinking about sex, but knew that they weren't about to be doing it. That didn't mean he couldn't fantasize about it, he'd certainly done so over the years.
He burrowed his head in the long blond hair, though it wasn't quite a good idea to get turned on… then he'd have to take a shower…
Pulling away from the soft hair, he smirked down at the teen, despite the fact that the other had his face pressed into his chest.
"Maybe." He sang belatedly to the artist's words, feeling the other twitch before he continued, "Well, instead of sleeping we could take a shower. It would be best to do that before we leave."
Deidara swallowed tightly, shower together? Apprehension bubbled up; if he didn't give things a try then they would never get anywhere.
Feeling his face heat up, he closed his eyes and uttered, "I guess…"
Tobi jolted ever so lightly, his eye a tad wide, he hadn't expected for Deidara to agree. He smiled softly, before exclaiming loudly in his obnoxious, childish voice, "Great!"
Deidara cringed at the sudden loud shout, very tempted to hit the other. Deidara pulled away from the warmth reluctantly. Tobi stood up before scooping up the artist still on the bed, who squeaked lightly.
Deidara scowled, he could walk! Why did Tobi have to pick him up? He wasn't some girl!
Tobi chuckled, murmuring cooingly, "You squeak a lot, Senpai."
Deidara's mouth fell open, his face heating up brilliantly in embarrassment. "Shut up hmm!" It wasn't his fault!
Tobi chuckled again, as he entered the bathroom. "Aww, don't be like that Senpai. It's cute."
"Cute!?" Deidara snapped, glaring up at the other. Tobi simply smirked.
The door shut behind them.
Inside Tobi sat the tense teen on the toilet seat, before gripping the edge of the blue shirt and pulling it over the artist's head, who grunted but otherwise remained silent. His lightly tangled blond hair flowed down, gently framing the sides of Deidara's face. Despite the blond's rumpled appearance he was still gorgeous. Turning from the blond, Tobi leaned inside and started the shower, while closing the yellow curtain to prevent water from landing outside the tub.
Meanwhile Deidara was mentally banging his head against a wall, to take a shower meant undressing; therefore they'd both be naked. A dark flush engulfed his face; he'd never seen anyone else naked before…, not only that but Tobi would be seeing him too…
The rustle of clothes told him that Tobi was most likely undressed; he lifted his gaze from the tiled floor to the yellow shower curtain.
Well, Deidara thought uncomfortably, biting his lip, they were both male.
The Uchiha then helped the blond up ignoring the disgruntled look, "Do you need help… Senpai?" his tone dropping at the last word, coming off as a sensuous whisper.
Before his brain had time to think, his arm had already reached up and 'smacked' the taller male in the arm. Tobi chuckled, his ungloved hand reaching for the blond's waistband. Just as he gripped it, his hand was shoved away.
Not the least bit put off, Tobi hummed, "What? It's not like you have something I haven't seen."
Deidara scoffed, ignoring the fact that his face heated farther, "So hmm?" He could undo his pants just fine. With both hands he gripped the material, but before he went any farther, his eyes drifted up and he twitched.
"Don't look." He strained out, knowing it was pretty stupid to get worked up, seeing as shortly Tobi would see anyway.
Tobi resisted the urge to chuckle at the blond's obvious discomfort. He looked so cute, and instead of giving the artist a hard time he shifted his gaze away, giving the other a false sense of privacy.
Swallowing tightly, Deidara pushed aside his hesitancy and with eyes closed, dropped his pants and boxers. Ignoring the small part of his brain that was suggesting he just shower in his boxers, as interesting and more comfortable that would be it was pointless to prolong the inevitable. Eventually Tobi would see him naked… not that sex was at the top of his list but…
Deidara felt his eyes glance to the raven, his eyes trailing over pale, smooth skin before switching his gaze fixatedly to the yellow curtain as his flush increased. He couldn't deny that he was curious.
Tobi shifted closer to the tub, pushing aside the curtain to allow Deidara to get inside. Deidara hesitated for a few moments before moving forward, struggling not to look at Tobi, not to look lower.
Once inside the shower, warm water cascaded over his body, taking away some of the unease. A small part of him had briefly forgotten about Tobi upon feeling the wonderfully warm water soak him until a pair of strong arms enveloped his waist and drew him close. His back molded perfectly against the taller man's body. Warm, soft lips brushed the blond's neck lightly before resting his chin on Deidara's shoulder blade savoring the moment.
Deidara gritted his teeth tightly, his heart pounding like crazy, a part of him sure that Tobi could hear it. His chest was tight, suffocating, constricting; it was unbelievably uncomfortable being pressed against Tobi's slick warm body and yet at the same time not. It was like being hugged except they were both wet and if he moved he'd brush against something he really didn't want to brush over. N-not now…
He had never taken a shower with someone else before, he'd never given the thought of what it would be like. It was awkward… and strange to be held like this. It was soft, gentle, and somewhat possessive but warm…
Deidara's musing abruptly derailed when a hand… a hand that was not his trailed over his body with a wet, soaped cloth. Breath hitching, and with a light jerk, his hands shot up and stopped Tobi's hand from moving.
Swallowing thickly, tightly, Deidara forced out with a flaming face, "I-I can wash myself, un." At this rate his face would stay permanently red.
"Aw," the usually masked nin whined, a hint of disappointment leaking through, "I really wanted to wash you… Senpai."
Deidara struggled to force down the knot wanting to form in his throat, when he had agreed to shower together, he hadn't anticipated Tobi washing, wanting to wash his body.
Tobi frowned lightly, trying to quell his disappointment but not the least bit surprised, before an idea formed and he settled on a compromise, "Then can I wash your hair?"
Shaking his head, Deidara went to refuse, still gripping tightly to Tobi's still yet soft arm only to be beat to it, "Please," Tobi pleaded.
Deidara paused; stilling the refusal on his tongue before closing his eyes, well washing his hair would be more comfortable then having Tobi wash his body.
"Fine…" realizing Tobi would have to let go of him to do that though.
Tobi blinked, thinking for a moment that he was hearing things before a grin replaced his frown, pressing his face into the artist's neck, nuzzling briefly, and earning a shudder before he pulled away with a small, toned down squeal, "Yay! Thank you, Senpai!"
Deidara twitched but refrained from commenting. Shifting noises reached him and then a small 'plop' sounded and while Tobi quickly did his own hair, Deidara shifted focus onto the cloth in his left hand that the older nin had previously had. It was still soapy so he quickly went about cleaning.
Tobi finished with his hair and re-wrapped his arms around his blond pulling him flush against him. The teen immediately tensed but uttered no words. Lifting up a pale hand Tobi brushed soft, wet hair away from Deidara's neck before lightly taking Deidara's earlobe between tender teeth. The artist trembled lightly but he made no attempt to pull away.
Oh fuck… Deidara thought with an inward groan. If Tobi kept doing stuff like this, all the blood in his body was going to stay in his face and something unneeded would happen in his neither regions.
Releasing the teen's ear Tobi drifted down to the lightly tan neck and kissed it gently before murmuring, "Close your eyes, Senpai, so I can do your hair."
Tobi shifted behind him and Deidara gathered the other was gathering shampoo and he quickly closed his eyes, he didn't need to get the stuff in his eyes. Shampoo stung and was not fun; it was almost as bad as his hand mouths tasting it…
The taller male carefully kneaded some of the tension away from Deidara's scalp using firm circular motions. Deidara kept his eyes clamped shut but couldn't help but find it mildly relaxing, having someone else wash his hair. This wasn't so bad…
Once the shampoo was washed away Tobi repeated the process with conditioner before holding the blond gently but firmly under the warm spray of water.
Leaving the teen under the direct spray, Tobi took the cloth held loosely in the blond's right hand before pausing, "Want to wash me… Senpai?" he cooed with a smirk, watching the teen jolt.
Deidara sputtered and not thinking whipped around to berate the other, but the words never left his mouth. Instead of locking gazes with Tobi's pale face, his blue eyes landed on a pale, smooth and a very defined chest. And very wet…
Throat dry, his blue eyes unintentionally followed a trail of water, working its way down the well built physic. His mouth fell open as his eyes dropped,
Tobi was huge!
Then his brain processed where he was looking and he sputtered, his face heating up farther (if that was possible) he quickly tore his gaze away.
Tobi chuckled at the display, watching as the red on the blond's face increased and wanted nothing more than to kiss the teen. Deidara looked so cute. Derailing the thought as not to get distracted Tobi let his eyes trail over the slender, yet lightly tan chest.
Despite not looking earlier, he couldn't help himself now, Deidara was facing him. His eyes went over the toned body before slipping lower. Deidara was relatively big, not bigger than him, no surprise but… his musing derailed at the 'eep' from the artist and in the next instant was hit in the arm.
"I told you not to look, un!"
Tobi blinked before a smirk spread across his pale face, eyes darting to the azure eyes, "You looked first… Senpai."
His smirk grew a little more at the sputtered response.
Deidara whipped around thoroughly embarrassed. He hadn't meant to look!
Tobi lightly chuckled and quickly washed himself. Placing the cloth down, he wrapped his arms around the lithe form, holding him gently.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about… Dei-chan." Tobi uttered softly.
Deidara blinked, his shoulders dropping a little, his embarrassment leaving for the moment, as he gaped. Twitching Deidara growled, "Don't call me that hmm."
Tobi pressed his face into wet hair, "Why not? You let Kisame call you that."
Deidara's forehead creased, he respected Kisame. Had for years, he'd gotten used to it. But he wasn't a girl, "So? It's Kisame."
Tobi huffed lightly, that didn't exactly explain why Deidara allowed the shark nin to call him 'Dei-chan', though he'd always figured it was due to the blond's respect for the other. "So?" Tobi pushed back, "You're mine."
Deidara scowled, but conceded, "Fine, but you can't call me that in front of anyone." He could make an exception for Tobi, seeing as it really sounded like the raven really wanted to call him that.
Tobi blinked startled, he'd been prepared to have to argue to get the blond to let him call him 'Dei-chan'. He grinned, pleased, though he honestly preferred 'Senpai', and he had no problem with that condition, it would be strange, possibly suspicious to the other members if he suddenly referred to the blond as 'Dei-chan'.
Focusing back on the artist, he tightened his hold mildly, "My Dei-chan."
Deidara twitched, but couldn't help the small smile that alighted his flushed face.
Finally after what felt like an hour, and maybe it was, Tobi raised one hand and turned the knob shutting the water off. Letting go of the blond, the older male pushed aside the yellow curtain and grabbed a big fluffy white towel. He gathered the long blond hair and proceeded to dry Deidara's hair. Then he draped the towel around the artist who let loose a small noise of surprise. He retrieved his own and vacated the tub.
Deidara slowly stumbled out of the tub, his hand quickly landed on the nearest surface, the counter. He glanced up as the door opened and Tobi entered their shared room. The cold air filtered into the bathroom causing Deidara to shiver, he wrapped his towel around him tighter.
Within a few moments the mirror which had been fogged started to dry ever so slowly. Reaching a mouthed hand up Deidara wiped the mirror several times till he could see his face.
Tobi reappeared in the door way, dressed in his usual black and the orange swirled mask back on his face.
"Come on Senpai! We should get going."
Deidara blinked, before returning his focus back to his reflection, "Yeah, yeah," waving a hand dismissively. "Get out so I can get dressed."
Tobi blinked, but instead of giving the artist a hard time, they did need to get going, he nodded once and headed towards the door, "I'll meet you in the kitchen!"
Deidara absentmindedly nodded and with a sigh dropped his towel to get dressed.
~88
Deidara watched as people bustled about, annoyance plainly visible on his features, his right hand propping his chin up as he sat on an uncomfortable, slightly rickety seat.
After their shower, they'd had breakfast, then they had teleported.
Deidara twitched a little as he recalled how that went.
~ Flashback
Outside the Akatsuki base, surrounded by trees, Tobi stated that there was no need to go any farther. They could teleport right here.
Deidara glanced around disinterestedly as he muttered with mild curiosity and apprehension, "So, how does this work?"
Tobi grinned fleetingly before humming comfortingly, "It's not going to hurt." He ignored the glare from the younger male, and invaded the blond's personal space, lightly but firmly gripping the other's arms before adding, "This won't take very long."
Deidara raised an eyebrow; he'd been figuring that they'd have to touch if Tobi was going to be taking Deidara with him.
Tobi drew the artist firmly against himself, murmuring, "Hold on." Of course he didn't need to be holding onto Deidara in order to teleport them both but he'd rather hold the blond and since Deidara didn't know that he couldn't give him a hard time.
Deidara glanced up at the swirled mask, but of course couldn't glean anything from the mask. Slowly, hesitantly Deidara snaked his arms around the taller male and gripped tightly.
"Relax," Tobi hummed quietly as he focused. It wasn't really a big deal if Deidara was relaxed or not, but if the artist was, there was less of a chance of the blond freaking out. Not that he really expected Deidara to, after all this wasn't going to hurt. It'd just be different, uncomfortable and new.
Deidara arched an eyebrow before inhaling deeply, then exhaling, his fingers clenching farther into the dark material of the Akatsuki cloak. Closing his eyes, he pressed his face into Tobi's well defined chest and waited.
He felt the air around them shift and the next instant a tug, a pulling sensation. Then a heavy pressure descended on him, making it relatively hard to breath, even move. But it swiftly passed, lasting for a few moments. The air shifted again, another tug, pressure and then it stilled.
Deidara kept his face pressed into the masked nin's chest, had they teleported?
Tobi slowly released his grip on the blond, alerting Deidara that they had teleported. He stepped back, eyes opening slowly, only to have vertigo wash over him, a hand snapping up to his forehead.
"Senpai okay?" Tobi's childish voice asked softly, while reaching towards the teen.
Deidara grunted, opening his eyes once the spell passed, nodding.
Tobi straightened, relieved. He had teleported other people before but he had always killed them, Sasuke and that red haired female the only exception. But if they suffered from any after effects he hadn't bothered to find out or notice.
Deidara glanced around and frowned, "This isn't Iron."
Tobi jolted a tad, before muttering nervously, sheepishly "Have to check something real quick and uh pick something up. Then we'll head to Iron."
Deidara twitched, leveling an irritated glare at the dumbass before huffing and following the other.
~End Flashback
Needless to say that the teleporting hadn't been that bad, weird but interesting. He kind of wished he'd kept his eyes open so that he could see… maybe next time… if there was a next time. Honestly he preferred flying.
Pushing the new experience away Deidara closed his eyes with an irritated growl, he'd been sitting here for over thirty minutes! He thought they were in a hurry!
He wouldn't be so ticked off if he didn't have to wait in this ridiculously small food café with only old people instead of accompanying the masked nin! Wouldn't it have been faster if he'd gone with him!?
But no, the dumbass had insisted it wouldn't take long and that there was no need for him to come and 'suggested' he wait in the café. Deidara scoffed, right suggested, more like told him to, Deidara had been adamant with going and apparently as Tobi put it 'they were wasting time and to go sit and wait for him', then took off, leaving him unable to trail.
Stupid Uchiha…
Deidara's arm dropped from his chin and his face met the surface of the, thankfully clean table top.
Everything was relatively silent till,
"Uh… you okay?" a masculine voice asked.
Deidara laid still.
"Uh… Miss?"
Silence.
Deidara twitched as someone prodded him, immediately he thought of ignoring the person, until it persisted, followed by, "Miss?"
Anger swelled, and he bolted upright, a distant part of his brain realizing that this bastard had been talking to him the whole time, not someone else as he had thought, before leveling a murderous glare at the brown haired male.
The mystery man jerked back, raising his hands in a sign of peace, "I d-didn't mean to bother you, I… you just looked… I wasn't sure if you were okay."
Deidara felt a smirk take shape as he eyed the intimated male; he was tall, taller than him but not taller than Tobi. He had a smooth, undamaged face, with light brown eyes that almost matched his hair.
"What is it a crime to lie on a table?" Deidara gritted out with a hint of venom lacing his tone, this guy thought he was a girl! IF it wouldn't have drawn attention, he would have already sent a bomb at the guy.
The unnamed male shook his head, a sweat drop inching its way down his face, "No, of course not. But I saw you, Miss a-"
Deidara couldn't hold in a growl at the idiot's continued belief that he was a girl, instantly cutting the other off. Hands clenched beneath the table he snapped, "I'm not a girl!"
Surprise flashed across the male's face followed by shock, he gaped with wide eyes before coughing, "Ah forgive me, with such long beautiful hair I figured you were female." He ended with a bow much to Deidara's surprise and mild disgust.
Deidara twitched, closing his eyes and willing himself to calm down, blowing this idiot up, while it would make him feel better, would not do well to make a scene…
Pointedly he ignored the 'beautiful hair' comment, opening his eyes, he uttered as calmly as he could, also making sure to leave off his impediment, "Go away."
The man just stared, giving the impression that he didn't comprehend the blond's words. Squaring his shoulders, and with a pleasant smile, stated cordially, "My name is Shin Takashi. I have insulted you. Please let me make it up to you."
Deidara blinked, his hands unclenching, why the hell would he want to make it up to him? The bastard should know he wouldn't get anything out of it, he wasn't female…
"No." Deidara hummed flatly.
Shin frowned lightly, his head tipping sideways, "Why? Do you already have a boyfriend?"
Deidara jolted, his mouth falling open in stunned shock and gall, but before he could snap at the brown haired male, he added,
"He sure isn't a very considerate one, leaving you here waiting like this." Shin glanced around the small place, eyes wandering over an elderly couple several paces away before returning to the lovely blue orb of the blond.
He had never met someone so stunning before, no female compared to him! He had to have him! But the blond had turned him down, just like that. He'd never been turned down before! Not by either gender! It was infuriating but he quickly gathered that someone so beautiful had to have a boyfriend already and that was why he'd been rejected. The blond was trying to stay faithful to the lousy guy, despite wanting to be with him.
Deidara glared furiously at the idiot, he never said he even had one! Fucker shouldn't assume things… Though if the bastard believed him to already have one then Shin should leave him alone, without too much more trouble. Though the idiotic male had found out that he was male before asking if he already had a boyfriend. Why did he believe it had to be a guy and not a girl?
He skipped the thought, he didn't really care.
A smile replaced his glare, unaware of the lowering of IQ to the man before him, "Oh he is very considerate. He just had to take care of something and I didn't feel like tagging along. But thanks for your inquiry."
Shin frowned, inwardly pissed, before comforting himself; the blond was just probably hurt and trying to hide it. Who would admit to being dumped?
"How about I keep you company then, just until he gets back?"
Deidara groaned inwardly but kept the smile on his face, persistent guy…
"No thanks. I appreciate the offer but-" Deidara paused, the smile slipping from his face, leaving annoyance and irritation, "I don't like you and would appreciate it if you'd leave."
Shin jerked, clearly taken aback, he stared at the annoyed face, idly thinking he still looked beautiful, before taking a step towards the sitting blond.
Before Shin could utter another word, Deidara stood, fed up, intending to leave, otherwise it wouldn't be long before he snapped and blew the bastard up.
"Wait!" Shin cried.
Deidara ignored him up until the fucker grabbed his arm, furious he swung around, yanking his arm free, "Go away before I blow you up!"
Deidara twitched when the male took his words obviously the wrong way, Shin sported a leering smirk, as if saying 'I knew you couldn't resist me'. His left hand snapped to his side but before he could open his clay bag and slip his eager mouthed hand inside his wrist was caught.
Deidara stilled, seeing as it obviously wasn't Shin touching him, the bastard was in front of him; he glanced down and relaxed, a black gloved hand was preventing him from gathering clay.
Shin frowned at the new arrival, an instant later seething anger followed. This had to be the boyfriend, judging from the way the blond just stood there, allowing him to grip his arm.
The orange masked nin released his grip and turned his attention towards the brown haired male, "Senpai told you to leave."
Shin blinked startled, his furious thoughts derailing for the moment, the voice that had just flowed out from behind that gaudy looking mask did not fit this man's appearance. He was tall, had dark black, spiky hair, yet his voice was so childish…
He glared, idly finding the term 'Senpai' odd for a couple, it certainly didn't come off as affectionate. "So? Why should I?" He edged a little closer to the blue eyed male, mindful of the raven's proximity to the blond, and hurried forth, "Because you said so?"
Deidara's fingers twitched, itching to throttle the exceedingly dense man, Tobi had yet to tell Shin to leave him alone, was this idiot hard of hearing?
"No," Tobi hissed out lowly, mindful of keeping his tone childish, "I have not yet told you to do anything. But Senpai certainly has. And you should respect that, unless you want to get yourself killed."
Shin stared blankly at the orange masked male, mildly stunned before a smirk broke forth. How absurd, this orange lollypop killing him? As if he could do such a thing. His brown orbs shifted to the beautiful blue one, the blond certainly wouldn't allow that to happen. And he was sure that the masked nin would honor his former lover's request.
With a jaunty smirk, Shin made a quick sweeping motion at the raven, "What do you see in him?" He stepped forward, ignoring the slight shift from the mask wearing idiot, "You can do better."
Deidara scoffed, "What, like you?" the answering grin was enough of an answer, even though everyone present already knew Shin was referring to himself.
"I mean just look at him. He's wearing such a ridiculous, eye sore mask and clearly doesn't have much of a brain."
Like you're one to talk. Deidara thought with agitation.
Tobi glared angrily at the other, he was certainly trying his patience. No, there was no reason to get worked up, nothing the bastard said was true, and he knew that Deidara didn't think so, seeing as he knew the truth.
Shin let his smirk grow, "I can offer you so much more-"
The next instant the idiotic brown haired male was on the ground, unconscious. Deidara blinked a few times, glancing at Tobi's outstretched fist.
At Deidara's raised eyebrow, he hummed, "I didn't see any point in putting up with his stupidity any longer."
Deidara scoffed, crossing his arms across his slim chest, "Well if you had let me blow him up, we wouldn't have had to deal with him this long."
Tobi lowered his arm, staring at the collapsed man, "That would have drawn unwanted attention." It wasn't like he had a problem with Deidara blowing the dense male up, he certainly wanted to kill him, but doing so would cause a scene.
Deidara grunted; irritation fixed to his features as he eyed the swirled mask, "And knocking him out didn't?" He didn't have to look around to know that the few people in the little café were blatantly staring at them.
Tobi sighed, muttering lowly, "An explosion would have done more damage, cause a big scene." He shifted his gaze to the irritated blond, "All I did was punch him, hardly a big deal." And it wasn't. Sure it got them noticed, but stuff like this took place quite a bit. The guy was still alive, no damage had been dealt. This was hardly going to come back and bite them.
Though it might be a good idea to kill 'Shin Takashi'. If he was that smitten with Deidara, there was a good chance that he would not forget, but that didn't seem likely. He could intentionally or unintentionally cause them trouble later.
Tobi returned his attention to Deidara, who scoffed. Shifting closer, Tobi wrapped his arm around the blond's waist, "Come on." He ignored the twitch from the artist, "Though I should have just killed him. No one will miss him." With a quiet hum, Tobi glanced down at the male on the floor; he'd have to kill him later; when no one else was around.
Deidara glanced away from the raven, vainly trying to ignore the arm around his waist, "You're done with everything?" he couldn't contain the irritation and spite in his voice. Though he was sure the dumbass was aware of his feelings on being left waiting.
Tobi grinned lightly in amusement, glad that Deidara couldn't see his face, "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't. We can leave in the morning." He ignored the curious look from the teen, sure they could leave now, but this way it gave him time to kill Shin, made it simpler too.
