Deidara hurried off towards the hospital, following the trail by the railroad he took not too long ago. After two long hours he was utterly exhausted. He hadn't taken his medicine at all that day that gives him his strength to do simple things. Not taking it then going on a four hour hike could be very dangerous.
'It doesn't matter; they can't find a cure for me any time soon un.' He thought. After a while he made it back into the city and heard his stomach rumbling like crazy. 'Oh yeah, I haven't had anything to eat in the past two days.'
He found a small stand on the street outside a bakery. The sign read "Hot coffee 25 cents, fresh bread: 75 cents." He paid for a small piece of bread and ate it on his way towards the hospital. After a mile or two he made it to the hospital and snuck his way through the front door managing to stay hidden to the doctors and nurses. He went into his room and lightly closed the door. He turned and then saw his father standing there, crossed armed with an angry but worried expression on his face.
"Just where in the hell were you? I came in here 10 minutes ago to find you gone, so where did you go?" his father asked.
He felt his nerves shaking and all the color flew from his face. 'I have to think of something fast, he'll suspect something if the lie isn't good un.' He thought then having an idea strike him.
"You came here just as I was getting myself some decent food un. Have you tasted the food here? Its complete crap, so I went out and got myself some fresh bread un." He lied in a way showing his father his mostly eaten bread.
His father grinned. "Well if you wanted some fresh food, you should have waited and told me! I could've gotten it for you Deidara. You shouldn't leave the hospital, you could die out there!" his father said motioning for Deidara to get back in his bed.
"I didn't know how long you were going to be and I was getting hungry." Deidara said.
"What happened to your sandwich I made you?" his father asked.
Deidara blushed lightly as he remembered Sasori no Danna's face when he gave him the sandwich. Sasori needed more if he was going to survive, he needed to get more for him.
"I ate it this morning because it looked delicious un. I got hungry later." He lied.
"I see. Well I can't stay for long, I have to get back to work and I just wanted to visit you. You get some rest OK? I'll be back tomorrow."
"Ok I'll see you later then un." He replied.
His father walked out and closed the door sealing him inside his room. After five minutes to make sure he was gone, he reached under his bed and changed back into his hospital clothes and took out Sasori no Danna's paper airplane. He climbed into his bed and reconnected his IV tube to his arm and unfolded the plane to read. Minutes into reading his first letter, he smiled to himself and felt his heart float.
'Sasori no Danna, you'll always be perfect in my eyes, how could you not think so yourself?' he thought.
Eager to write his second letter, he gently placed Sasori no Danna's letter under his bed and grabbed his notebook and pencil and started to write:
"Dear Sasori no Danna,
My father managed to catch me as I enter the hospital bedroom I was in and ask me where I was and why I was gone. I froze but I managed to tell him I went to get fresh bread for myself. It wasn't all a lie, when I got back into town, I bought myself some bread. That was a close one but I never gave you up. I would never turn you in to my father, or your warden for that matter just for talking to me. That place must be hell ran by the Devil over on your side of the fence. If there was any way to get you out I would but I'm stuck with the killer disease of Typhus in this hospital room. I'm weak from it all and can't even leave without the possibility of being caught. I wish you were on the other side with me so that we could be near each other as I may possibly die. I know there may not be a cure for this but thank you anyway for making my last moments here some of the best.
Don't be misguided I'm not going to die in the next few minutes; I just wanted to say this because I wanted to get it off my chest.
Live on strong Sasori no Danna
Love, your Dei
He looked at the last two words "your Dei" and then looked at the previous word "love". He had never in his last letter said love. He thought of Sasori no Danna and the thought of falling in love with him.
'No, he deserves better than me un. A lowly person dying of typhus doesn't deserve a person as good as Sasori no Danna. He should have someone curable, not me un.' He thought sorrowfully.
He folded his letter into a paper airplane and then looked out his window and waited for dawns light to awake him once he falls asleep. "Goodnight Sasori no Danna, until tomorrow un." he whispered as sleep took him.
-o-
Deidara woke and felt the heat of the sun warming his skin once more as it shown through his bedside window. He smiled just thinking about his meeting today with Sasori no Danna. He stopped as he was brought to reality with the annoying as hell heart monitor constantly going beep! beep! beep! every fraction of a second and when he felt excited about his meeting today the stupid little machine went faster and louder.
'GAAAH! If I could I would blow that crappy ass machine up as big as I could possibly could make the explosion so I'd never have to hear that thing again un!' he thought. 'I can't though…I have no explosives un!'
He grinned and unplugged the stupid tubes from his arms and turned the machine off before anyone noticed. He got dressed and with his paper airplane and Sasori no Danna's sandwich and headed out of the hospital with ease. He took his usual trail alongside the railroad and headed toward the back barrier fence. There he was raking the fields just like he normally does but this time something was different. Something was wrong with Sasori no Danna, he wasn't as hyper as he was yesterday. He kept looking to the ground for the longest time like he just witnessed the most gruesome murder in history.
'What happened to him un?' he thought. "Sasori no Danna un!" he called out as he approached the fence.
Sasori no Danna looked up and the look he had on sent pins and needles to Deidara's chest. He had a look of pure pain and what looked to be claw marks on his face, unclean and untreated. Then upon seeing and hearing his voice his facial expression turned to one of sorrow, regret, with tears starting to stream down his face.
"Sasori no Danna!" he cried out and running up to the fence as close as he could get to Sasori no Danna.
Sasori no Danna threw down his rake and rushed over to him and through the barbed wiring of the fence, wrapped his arms around Deidara's neck. Sasori immediately started sobbing and whimpering like a child into his shoulder. He reached through the fence despite the newly forming cuts that were caressing his arms, started to hug Sasori no Danna back.
"It's alright now, don't cry Sasori no Danna un. I'm right here, don't cry un." He coaxed. Sasori released his grip on him and looked back at him with tear stained eyes. "What happened to you Danna un?" he asked.
Sasori no Danna said nothing but took out his paper airplane, stood back, and tossed it over the fence where he caught it with ease. He took out his airplane and tossed it over the fence where Sasori caught his. He looked at it as if it meant more to him than life itself. He got out his sandwich and handed it to Sasori through the fence with a smile on his face for Sasori's comfort and for his own.
"You'll find out what happened in that letter." Sasori no Danna said accepting the sandwich.
"Un, I'll read it word for word." He said and before Sasori no Danna took his hand away, he grabbed it and faced Sasori. "Before you go, let me clean your wounds for you."
With that said, he took out a cloth and some water from his bag. He dabbed the cloth with some water and gently started to clean his wounds on his arms made by the fence. Sasori was looking down at his hand that was cleaning his arm with a look of astonishment and shock which made him grin with kind eyes. He reached through the fence with his other arm and tilted Sasori's chin up to look at him square in the face. He lifted the cloth to his cheek where he was clawed and started to clean the wounds. Sasori no Danna winced a bit upon the touch but relaxed as he kept looking at him.
'He has such kind gentle eyes; it hurts me to see so much pain and sorrow in them un.' He thought.
-o-
Sasori looked at Deidara in completes shock. 'No one ever cleaned the wounds I got in here! He has such a light and delicate touch as well.' He thought to himself.
He felt a hand beneath his chin as Deidara gently lifted his head to look at him, faces just mere inches apart, as Deidara gently caressed his cheek with the wet cloth. It stung and he winced in pain but then got used to such a feeling. He suddenly got lost in those beautiful blue eyes of his and mentally shook himself.
'I will not kiss Deidara. He deserves better than me.' He thought but again got lost in his eyes once more. If anyone caught him he would be killed for this but he didn't care anymore. He was probably going to die in here anyway so why not enjoy his last moments. He slipped his arm around Deidara's neck and rested his lips upon his. He felt Deidara tense at first but as he continued to kiss him he relaxed. Then did something he never expected, started kissing him back! After a minute or two, they broke apart and Deidara looked at him with a somewhat confused but happy look on his face.
"Sasori…no…Danna…" Deidara whispered slowly.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that but-" he started but didn't get to finish before Deidara kissed him again. This one was more passionate and it allowed their tongues to slip in and make the kiss deeper.
After another minute they broke and breathed deeply for air. "There's no reason for you to apologize un. I rather enjoyed that un." Deidara said with honesty in his voice. He then gasped as he looked over his shoulder. "You have to go, the guard's about to come this way un. I'll see you tomorrow OK?" Deidara whispered hurriedly.
"OK, tomorrow then." He agreed. He gave one last quick kiss to Deidara and watched as Deidara disappeared behind the hills. He then felt emptiness inside him as he felt his heart start to break.
'Why do I feel this way when I don't have Dei near me?' he thought. "Dei…Dei…Dei…' "DEI!" he yelled into the open sky. He then saw the guard turn to him with a glaring but quizzing look on his face. He quickly picked up the rake and started working, then turning to the guard and saying, "I mean….nice, uh, day we're having isn't it?"he half heartedly laughed and went back to work.
"Just shut up and work brat!" the guard yelled and Sasori got back to work.
