Beta-reader: Hotaru Imai Sakura
Tsuki's POV
First thing on my mind, I have to look for Deidara. After all, I did promise him. I knocked on his door and waited for a minute. Soon, someone opened the door - but it was not Deidara. A swirly lollipop blocked my view and I soon realise that it's – "Tsuki-chan finished her mission already?" Tobi asked, scratching his head. "Why are you in Deidara's room?", a frown marred my features, as I pointedly ignored his question. This man is not trustable. "Ah, Deidara-senpai told Tobi to get his exploding clay. Why is Tsuki-chan ignoring Tobi?" He did an overly dramatic gasp, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "Tsuki-chan doesn't like Tobi?" I started wondering if I'm too suspicious… "No. I don't. Can you tell me where Deidara is now?" The apology sounded sincere, however, I wasn't. It seemed that he brought it though – "Hai! Deidara-senpai is with Sasori-senpai in Tobi's room!"
My eyes narrowed just a friction. Walking three rooms down, I repeated the ritual. "No Sasori-danna, not there!" I strained my ears. Of course, eavesdropping wasn't good, but I was really curious as to what they are engaging in. "Then where do you suggest? Here?" "No, Sasori-danna, un!" A groan followed followed by the sound of wood scrapping against the floor. "No you don't Deidara! You know I hate waiting!" Sasori growled, "No way! It's too hard!" Heat engulfed my face. 'Just what in the seven seas are they doing?!' There was a 'clank', and I covered my face in embarrassment. 'They wouldn't happen to be… Are they?' I figured that they won't be able to hear me even if I knocked again. Without a second thought, I pushed open the door. 'Let's hope nothing nasty is going o-' Is that Sasori on top of Deidara?! It looked as if he was pinning Deidara to the bed. Without another word, I turned a hundred-and-eighty degrees and close the door behind me. 'What was that?' I started praying that they didn't notice my existence. Apparently, luck was not on my side. The door burst open behind me and slammed shut.
Deidara's POV
Sasori and I finally came to an agreement that Art could be eternal and fleeting, thus I started teaching him how to make clay sculptures and him teaching me how to control puppets. Glancing at his hand… What is that exactly? He pinched another part of it – "No, Sasori-danna, not there!" His brows furrowed and he looked at me with drooping eyes, "Then where do you suggest, here?" He deliberately crushed the only decent part which could have been identified as a wing. Back to the starting point. "No, Sasori-danna, un!" A groan escaped. He looked at the puppet I was currently destroying, and immediately pounced on me, making me lose my balance and fall backwards onto the bed. The damn bed made a screeching sound that could deafen me, un! "No you don't Deidara!" I looked at the completely destroyed puppet in his hands, which he had snatched from me. "You know I hate waiting!" That reminds me, where the hell did that idiot Tobi go?
Flashback
"I hate waiting, you know that. Tobi better be fast, and you better not mess up my puppet."
End of Flashback
He glanced at the puppet and back to me. Uh oh, he's going to lecture me for messing up his precious puppet. "No way! It's too hard!" I yelled – rather than waiting for him to start his lecture I might as well defend myself first. I swept blindly at the drawer beside the bed, succeeding in making the blue vase shatter on the ground. Suddenly, the door opened, and in walked Tsuki. She looked horrified, and after that all I could remember was a slam. … Was she hoping for us to not notice? For Art's sake we aren't in Akatsuki for no reason! Sasori got off immediately, and we looked at each other, contemplating our next step.
The door opened, and Sasori grabbed her left hand, and me, her right, and dragged her into the room. She wouldn't scream, it's not in her. The close slammed shut behind us. The explanation took quite some time, but it was all worth it when she started laughing.
She looked so beautiful. Her left hand across her stomach and her right covering her mouth. She was mesmerizing, looking like a Goddess, the Goddess of Beauty. I was captivated by her loveliness as I could only stare at the laughing beauty in awe.
Sasori's POV
She laughed. First time since she became an Akatsuki, she laughed. Well, it had only been a day, but I could see that laughter is a rare occurrence when it involves her. I couldn't help but think that she looks gorgeous and absolutely breath-taking. Her voice is like a chime, and it sounded like a tingling bell. She is beautiful, absolutely beautiful… 'She would make the most beautiful puppet…' Glancing at Deidara, I could see that he was awestruck. That idiot…
Tsuki's POV
Am I dreaming? … I'm actually laughing! So many years, and the only times that I actually cracked a smile was in the presence of my dear younger sister. Did the two of them actually made me laugh? … I really am getting soft. Though I gained control of my mouth - they were still looking as if I'm an alien. "Well?" Did Deidara just… Jumped? It must be my imagination… Sasori, on the other hand, cleared his throat. "Deidara," The façade was back. Pink tinted his cheeks. "Where are we going?" He looked confused for a second, "Oh!" He smiled and grabbed my wrist and got out of the room, leaving Sasori alone in the room with a bored look adorning his features.
Narrative
"Deidara?" Tsuki asked Deidara, confused as of where he is bringing her. There was no protest from the young woman though. The door of the Akatsuki base cracked open – However, Deidara took a different turn, opposite to the one Itachi took. Unlike Itachi, Deidara could not perform fire Jutsus, so he carried a light source with him – Basics of a ninja. The long-haired beauty was curious as to where it led to, though she kept her cool. Light illuminated from the exit, and Tsuki had to cover her eyes to get it to adjust to the sudden change exposed to her sensitive retina. A majestic view greeted her: A huge grassland atop of a cliff. Deidara gave her a toothy smile as he explained that it was his favourite special spot. A rare smile made its way up her face as she kissed Deidara on the cheek. "Arigatou."
Deidara's POV
She smiled – at me! My heart fluttered, and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. … Damn I'm turning into a lovesick schoolboy! She leaned towards me – What is she going to do? Something soft grazed my cheek… Tsuki's kissing me! Oh my Kami I'm going to heaven! The tickling in my stomach got worse. I am certain that my face resembles a tomato now! The feeling stayed even when she drew back. "Arigatou." She sat down on the lush green grass. A look of content was present on her face, and I took a seat right next to her, silently cheering for I was the one who invoked such emotions.
