21: Zetsu
2 months later
"Hi, Zetsu-kun!" Tobi cried, running over to me. I still wasn't used to hearing the new addition to my name; first it had been –san, and I had gotten used to that, now it was –kun. It sounded so weird after that. But it's not like I didn't like it, because I did. I turned away from my locker to greet him and almost got knocked over as he hugged me. I still wasn't used to that either.
"Hi, Tobi. What's up?" I asked him when he let go. He'd shown me his face once, before he got his mask replaced and sometimes, it was like the mask wasn't there anymore.
"Well, the sky's up. But, Tobi wanted to tell you that Deidara got four tickets to Fallout Boy and he gave Tobi two of them!" He pulled two tickets out of his backpack and showed them to me. "Will you please come with Tobi and Deidara and Sasori? Please, please, please, please?!"
I pretended to think while he stared at me. I really liked Fallout Boy, so I already knew the answer, I just liked to see Tobi freak out. "I guess so…"
"Yay!" Tobi yelled, jumping up and then hugging me again. "It's Friday, can you still go?"
"Yeah, I don't do anything on Fridays anymore unless it's something with you. And I'm pretty sure you know that," I told him pointedly and he nodded. I grabbed my backpack, closed my locker door and took Tobi's hand. "Ready to go then?"
"Please, do you think that Tobi would have come to your locker unprepared?" he asked me skeptically.
I stared at him with the same look that I was sure he was giving me. "You've been known to do it." He started a string of complaints and I playfully shoved him into the nearest wall of lockers. "Boy you're whiney."
Tobi shook his head and took my hand again. "Tobi knows."
When Friday came, Sasori came with it. He wanted to hang out with me for awhile before the concert and I was too desperate to see him to say no. It had been a few weeks since I had been able to hang out with him because he and Deidara had been working really hard on a school project. I wasn't going to pass this up. We hung out in the living room for about two hours and then raided my closet for outfits.
"When was the last time you cleaned out this black hole?" Sasori asked when he looked in my closet. "It looks exactly like it did when I visited three and a half months ago and you said you'd clean it."
I glanced at him skeptically. "And you believed me?"
"No. But one can only hope." He stepped in and we started sifting and digging. An hour later, we left the closet with two black and red outfits and half an hour later we found several accessories as well. "Alright, now we're getting somewhere."
I looked at him with a smirk and said, "Let's see who can get dressed first before our boyfriends show up, deal?"
Sasori stared at me and smiled. "You're on. I'm so winning this one."
We finished dressing at the same time and reached the door at the same time too when the doorbell rang. "You were going to win, huh?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I was. But I had trouble with the watch…" Sasori told me as I opened the door. Tobi and Deidara stood on the porch wearing black as well. They had obviously been talking, but they stopped when they noticed us.
The first thing I got when Tobi saw me was a giant hug that almost knocked me off my feet. Deidara quietly stepped in and he and Sasori gave each other a small hug.
"When does it start anyway, yeah?" Deidara asked, pulling away and looking at Sasori.
"Not until nine, so we have a few hours to waste," Sasori said, taking the blonde's hand. "What should we do?"
Tobi raised his hand. "Clean Zetsu-kun's room. Tobi can't stand it."
"I can't either. I'm in. But we should be prepared; we don't know what we'll find in there," Sasori agreed, smirking. "What do you say, Zetsu?"
I scrunched my nose and smiled. "If you want to. You should wear gloves; I'm not sure what's under the bed."
Deidara looked at Sasori with an alarmed expression. "I have a feeling it's gunna be a lot like my room, yeah."
Sasori put his hands up and spread them out like he was smoothing a piece of paper. "Think…It's like your room, only five times worse." He put his hands down and winked at the blonde. "It's gunna take until eight-something for sure." Deidara calmed down a little, but I could tell he didn't like the mental picture. When we got to my room, he almost collapsed.
"You were right. It's like my room only way worse, yeah!" he cried in despair.
"Let's get it over with," Sasori sighed, walking to my desk.
By eight-forty, the room was only half clean. "Looks like that's the best we're going to do. We have twenty minutes to get to the concert. Let's go," Sasori announced, going downstairs with Deidara on his tail.
Tobi took my hand, pulled his mask up a bit, slipped me a kiss, put his mask back down and dragged me downstairs. I smiled happily and allowed myself to be dragged. Things were awesome and I was enjoying them while they lasted.
And I want them to last forever.
A/N: It is the end. I couldn't extend it anymore and I made it past chapter twenty anyway. Besides, if I kept going, I would reveal more and I want to save more for the sequel. Hope you liked this story. The ending was weird, but I liked the rest. Well, please review. Thanks for being patient in waiting so long to get here. You are all awesome.
Keep your eye out for the next story: Staying Strong.
