Hate that I Love You

Chapter 9: Twitterpetter
First, your knees begin to shake...
Then, your head goes spinning, like, WHOOOOOO!!!!!
And then, you feel light as a feather...
And all of the sudden, you're walking on air...
And finally, you feel like you're going in a loop-de-loop...
Until you completely lose your HEAD!!!
So, be very careful. It can happen to anyone.
:D

Tobi could feel his heart pounding in his chest whenever Deidara was nearby, a quick flutter against his ribcage, sending his head into a tizzy. He could feel his face burning under his mask when the blonde told him he was doing okay at something (because in Deidara-language, which Tobi had become very fluent at recently, that was a compliment, and a good one). What was a guy supposed to do though, with a beautiful, mind-blowingly gorgeous role model that left him stumbling over his tongue whenever the blonde spoke?
"Hey, Tobi, un, you listening?"
Tobi jumped and turned to Deidara, who was staring at him oddly. "A-ah, sorry sempai, I spaced out…what were you saying?"
"Tch…" Deidara shook his head, and repeated, "I was saying, are you ready to go or not?"
"Oh…yeah." The raven-haired man nodded, standing up. It had been almost a month since he had confessed those weird feelings to Deidara, and the blonde hadn't done much about it. Honestly, more than anything, he wanted his sempai just to accept him, even if that meant he didn't reciprocate what Tobi felt. There was silence for a moment as the two walked along a dirt path, hats tilted low and cloaks billowing ominously in the wind. Suddenly, Tobi spoke up. "S…sempai?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you know what 'twitterpetter' is?"
"Twitterpetter…?" Deidara raised an eyebrow, arms crossed, "What the hell is that, un?"
"Well, sempai…it's what I feel like every time I'm around you" he smiled underneath his mask, then launched into a childlike explanation of twitterpetter, complete with ridiculous gestures and a cheerful voice.
Deidara waited for him to finish, shaking his head. "Bah…Tobi…"
"Yeah, sempai?"
"You are…a dumbass, un"
Tobi laughed a little. Yes, that dumbass had sounded affectionate, he decided, especially since the blonde reached over and gave Tobi's hand a tiny, almost unnoticeable squeeze. He smiled under his mask and nodded, "Yup…guess I am. But, you know something sempai?"
Deidara grunted, waiting for him to continue. Tobi lifted his mask and allowed the blonde to see his smile, "I'm your dumbass."
The artist looked over his partner and a small smile crossed his face. He nodded, then turned back to the road, "Guess so, un"
