Prisoner
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Deidara hurried up back to the hospital where he basically lived in for all his life. He has an incurable disease in which makes his life a prison. He has had it since birth and soon it will end his life. He knows that. He knows the doctors can't do anything for him because they haven't found a cure for him. He knows there is no cure. That is why he sneaks out of the hospital every day. He wants to live in the outside for as long as he can before the disease takes his last breath.
He crept back into his bedroom and quickly changed into his hospital gown and stashed his clothes under his bed. He grabbed his notebook, climbed into bed, and started to write his letter.
'What do I say, what do I say?' he thought. His heartbeat was pounding rapidly and he felt like he was floating on air. 'I've never felt like this before un. What is this feeling I have when I think of him?'
He stared at the blank page and sighed. "How can I only write one page when there is so much I want to know un?" he asked himself out loud.
"Know about what?" a voice asked. Deidara looked up to see his father standing at the doorway holding a vase with a blue flower in it.
"Oh, just about the outside world. What's it like. The people out there un." He lied.
"Kch, I can tell you now about the people that live out there. They're scum, they'll take whatever they want, always greedy, never say thank you to anyone! You know what I'm talking about. The camp I work at has all sorts of scum. They'll betray their friends for their own needs. It's a sickening sight Deidara. You should never have to see that world." His father explained.
'But, when I saw Sasori no Danna, he was kind. He said "thank you". He looked starving but still managed to look beautiful. If there was one word to describe him, it would not be scum un.' he thought in Sasori's defense.
"Ah I see." He said in a fake sorrowful voice.
His father placed the blue flower vase on the side of my bed. "How are you feeling today Deidara, feeling any better?" his father asked.
"Yes much better. I had a nice conversation with someone today and it made me the happiest I have ever been in a long time un." he answered truthfully.
His father smiled. "That's good to hear Deidara. Just keep on smiling like that to the person you're talking to and they'll feel like a brand new person." He said.
He smiled widely when he said that. 'Maybe I could change Sasori no Danna's heart if I give him a smile when I send give him his letter! He would then give me the smile he did today, and nothing would be wrong un!' he thought.
"Well I can't stay long, if have to get back to work soon, but I found this flower outside by the hills of my camp where the long grass is and I picked it for you." His father said heading towards the door.
"Thanks, I'll see you later then un." He said to his father as he left. After five minutes he picked up his notebook and began writing his first letter to Sasori no Danna:
"Dear Sasori no Danna,
I couldn't wait to write you again, I am still filled with joy when I think of you. I am currently in my hospital bed just thinking about your smile and how it filled me up with joy. Did you like the sandwich? I could bring more if you want. I could not wait to see you again it's nagging at me like a cat that wants food. This may sound weird but every time I think of your smiling face I'm filled with pure happiness. I have an incurable disease that has been with me since I was born. I have been stuck in a hospital all my life, unable to leave, not having any friends, no one knowing I exist. That is why when I sneaked out yesterday and met you, I forgot I was sick and I felt alive again! Now I can say this truthfully to you Sasori no Danna, thank you. For making me feel alive again, you truly are a good person.
The person you can always talk to and see anytime,
Deidara"
He put the pencil down and smiled. 'I hope he enjoys it.' He thought and folded his letter into a paper airplane. He set it under his bed with his clothes carefully, making sure it didn't crumple. He looked out his window and noticed night had fallen so quickly.
'I should get to bed so I can be fresh for the meeting with Sasori no Danna un.' He thought to himself. He curled up in bed and fell asleep, wishing for dawns light to shine through.
-o-
Sasori finished his chores hours later after he hurried off into his cell before he was thrown in. After he knew the guards had stopped watching by his cell, he pulled out his sandwich Deidara gave him earlier in the day and ate it fast before he was caught. The taste felt like chocolate to his throat since he hadn't had a decent meal in months.
'Deidara, I love you.' He thought. As soon as he thought that, he blushed seven shades of red. 'Figure of speech I guess. I should write him a letter as well to thank him.'
Truth was, he wanted to talk to Deidara again so he decided before hand to write him. He grabbed his pencil and paper he secretly kept under his bed and started to write his letter to Deidara:
"Dear Deidara,
I can't say this enough: thank you for the sandwich. It saved my life; I am in your debt. It makes me think that there are still some decent people out there that don't hate me. That makes me feel happy. This may sound weird, but all when I was working in the yards, when I thought of you, I started to feel happy again. In these camps they put you through hell but when I thought of you showing me such kindness, it felt like it was worth it all just to see you today. Now for just giving me your smile, for that I can say thank you. The warmth it gave me was so great; it made me feel alive and healthy. I may not be the healthiest, cleanest, most perfect person you've ever met before, but when I saw your shining smile, it made me feel that way again.
Thank you for everything Deidara,
Sasori"
'That should be enough for one page.' He thought looking at the entire page he filled up front and back.
It wasn't exactly the biggest pieces of paper he ever had but whatever worked, worked. He folded the letter into a paper airplane and hid it safely under his pillow for the next day. He cuddled up to his pillow again for another cold night but this time, he held a smile on his face.
