Stuck Together, Torn Apart.

Yes, they are in a house, yes Tobi is around with Sasori, and yes to whatever else questions you'll have including they have modern technology.
Oh and I wasn't think before, but 'how did Deidara blow up the room with no clay' may or may not have popped up. He still had his pouch, but all his extra clay (most of it) was in Sasori's puppet.
--
They looked at their entwined hands as did everyone else in the room.
Itachi's left hand.
The same hand that held Sasori's Super Sticky Sticky Construction glue.
The same hand, that was COVERED in the glue when he grabbed it from Tobi.
The gooey mess on the tube… was leaking glue.
Three voices in the room chorused one word. (2)
"Fuck."

"What the hell am I missing here?" Pein demanded, not liking the idea that there was something his subordinates knew that he didn't.
Sasori turned to his Leader and responded. "Yeah. Tobi's an idiot, but I undoubtedly presume you already knew that bit of information." After receiving a look from Pein promising death, Sasori elaborated, "he stole my workshop glue and Itachi, apparently, got some on his hand when he grabbed it and now, well, I guess as plain I could put it… their stuck."
Silence reigned throughout the room.
Kisame looked dumbstruck, Itachi stared forward, and Pein blink a few times, then-"TOBI!!" Pein roared, yet again shaking the room including the house. "Sasori, fix them. I'm first taking care of Deidara, then I'll let him have his run with a tied and gagged Tobi, OUTSIDE." And with that, Pein left through the hallway on the right of Kisame and Itachi and stormed through the hall out ill his footsteps were silenced by a slamming door. Three seconds later, screams of pain were heard form Pein's office room. (1)
While in the living room, the three were left in their own silence, one standing one sitting with his legs pretzel crossed(2), Itachi, and one with his legs out in front of him, all looking towards the sounds of agony. "So, uhm, we just need, what, water to get this stuff off?" The blue occupant spoke.
Sasori turned towards the voice before answering what he was dreading to. "Uhh, actually, it'll be more then that…"
"Like soup?" The sharky man asked, with a strained smile and fake hope about his suggestion actually being true.
"Mmm, no." The puppet replied feeling the same tension they all did growing around them. Itachi, still silent and 'holding' his partners hand was growing annoyed with the puppets stalling and wanted to take a bath after his mission he just returned to. After all, hygiene should always be valued. At least, Itachi believes so and avoids Hidan after rituals for such reasons.
"Then what," the ever silent Uchiha started, growing annoyed "would get this adhesive off." Somehow, asking a question Itachi managed to make it a statement. Itachi started to stand and, after feeling the tug, Kisame joined his partner to stand.
Taking a deep breath, Sasori told them what they were starting to fear. "It… won't come off."
…
Sasori uses the glue for his puppets, his puppets should last forever, hence the glue has to be strong. Very strong and durable.
If it was in his nature, a muscle spasm would have started behind Itachi's eye causing an annoyed twitch.
Kisame, however, had no problem opening gapping at this news. His left eye slightly twitched as his mouth hung partly open.
"Yes, well, I'll just, uhm…" At this point, Tobi running through the living room (bound and gagged) and slamming through the door followed by Deidara smiling with the intent to kill interrupted Sasori's attempted excuse to leave, opening one for use. "Yes, I'll just report this to Leader then." And he was gone before anyone could even blink
Kisame recovered from this news and cautiously looked towards his partner who looked towards him a moment later. Kisame, not really knowing what to say, just attempted at some words that sounded more like noises from a tiny mammal.
Without a word, Itachi just started towards his room through the hall on the left side at the end of the hall. His plans for a shower died, so he headed to his room sleep for the rest of the night. Walking through the doorway, shark in tow, Itachi stopped in front of his bed; opposite the door, slightly to the left of the room, and to the left of the only window the room held, and stared at it. Neither spoke then, "You're sleeping on the floor." Kisame looked to his partner with eyes, slightly wider then normal.
"What!?" Kisame shouted indignantly in his gruff voice.
Itachi just looked at him, not about to repeat himself when he knows very well his partner heard him.
"I'm NOT sleeping on the floor." The shark spoke out.
"Yes. You are." The weasel countered.
"In case you haven't noticed, if I'm on the floor so are you." And to emphasize his point his lifted their glued hands up in Itachi's view.
Seeing that his oddly colored partner wasn't going to budge on the matter Itachi just looked back at the bed.
"Whatever, we're sharing the bed. I'm too tired to argue with you." Kisame spoke, for once commanding his Uchiha partner.
Itachi blinked once, then answered. "Fine."

Not much of a cliff hanger, but next chapter: Preparing for bed, and then the night.

(1) I know this sentence seems weird, it's Deidara screaming. I didn't spell Pein's name wrong.
(2) 'Indian' style. I call it a pretzel.
