Warning: SasoDei
Chapter Two
For the entire week, Deidara had hidden himself away inside of their dorm room, fiddling away with his clay or catching up on some sleep. After all, he had trouble falling asleep at night, fearful of Hidan and becoming sacrificed to Lord Jashin. Because of this, he had slept mostly in the day, his nightmares asleep as well and not running amuck inside of his head. "Such an adorable puppet!" Deidara squealed, while kneeling down and picking it up, as he inspected the dusty and discarded doll size puppet. "It looks like a child's toy, though. I wonder why Sasori kept this."
In a moment, Deidara had heard the bedroom door squeak open, alarming him to the point of dropping the puppet onto the wooden floor. Upon turning around, he had faced the master puppeteer and stepped backwards, fearful that his much older partner was angered and annoyed at him. After all, he had been touching the master's puppeteer's weapons, breaking an important rule he had been warned not to. "Sasori, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to touch your stuff. It's just … I like this one," Deidara stuttered, while kneeling down and picking up the fallen puppet, as his hunchback partner sneered and walked passed him. "I promise I won't do it again."
Upon wrapping his arms around the puppet, Deidara had breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that the master puppeteer wasn't enraged at him. As he plopped down onto the bed, he had begun fiddling around with the puppet, threading through the doll's ruby red locks with his slender fingers. Even so, he had been fascinated more with the puppet's eyes, glass orbs with a hazel tint and an immortalized dreamy gaze stared back at him. "I made him years ago. He was one of my first works as a child," Sasori said, while tinkering away at his desk, as the blonde bomber blinked and listened to the elder Akatsuki. "I've been meaning to destroy him."
In an instant, Deidara had been terrified, his heart shattering at the thought of the poor puppet being destroyed. "Please don't, Sasori! I mean, I really like this puppet of yours. He isn't scary or anything like your regular ones. He's just normal," Deidara said, while hugging the wooden puppet to his chest, as the hunchback puppeteer just chuckled in amusement. "If you don't mind, can I please keep him?"
Almost immediately, Deidara had heard the puppeteer laugh, snickering at his childness and adoration at the toy wooden doll. "Well, I don't see why not. It is useless to me, anyway. I think you're better off with it. You need a friend here, anyhow," Sasori said, while brushing his scorpion tail through the blonde's golden locks, as the bomber blushed and hugged his new puppet tightly. "It might help you sleep better at night. You should know, I never make anything that isn't capable of being a weapon. Goodnight now, Rapunzel."
