Disclaimer: I own nothing but my feels. Not Naruto.
A/N: School's back in for me so I'm probably going to be writing more.
U is for Ugly
"What are you even talking about, hn?" Deidara asked with a deadpan look on his face, trying not to betray how annoyed he really was.
Sasori glanced up from his work, "I'm only saying that the pop movement isn't dead, not that I consider my art a part of it."
Deidara huffed in agitation, "Have you seen a single good piece of work in that style in the past five years, ten even?"
Sasori nodded, "I have."
Deidara scoffed at the senior artist, "I don't believe you."
Sasori put down the tools he was working with to look at the other artist, "They were made decades ago but I have went to see them in the past few years."
Deidara scowled, "That's not what I meant and you know it."
Sasori began clearing off the table he was working at and putting things away. He didn't even acknowledge Deidara's remark until he was done which only served to make the blond angrier.
"Just because they were made a long time ago doesn't mean that they're any less relevant now than they were then because true art will always remain important," his partner told him in a voice that conveyed that this was one of the puppeteer's rarer mentorly moods.
Deidara frowned and the puppeteer looked at him with an expression that challenged him to disagree.
"Fine, I understand what you mean but superflat is the style that my entire generation will be remembered for!" Deidara told him.
Sasori rolled his eyes and began to leave pausing at the door, "We'll see, brat."
As the few people who have fought with them and lived would tell you, Deidara and Sasori's arguments could get very ugly, very quickly. However, this was not one of those times.
A/N: Out of all the chapters so far this might just be my favorite.
Also, I'm aiming to finish this fanfiction before the end of this year. I think I can do it as long as I don't get bogged down with work from school. Thankfully that's unlikely, I only have 3 "real" classes this year and I only need to do well in one to graduate.
