Midnight cookie. How I love thee. I lick my lips in anticipation and slide it into my mouth, savoring the lovely chocolate taste. I always loved my midnight snacks, be it cookies, watermelon or peppers. I always get hungry late at night.

A melancholic melody suddenly reached my pink –it was cold- ears. I listen carefully to the soft voice that floated through the hide out.

I close my eyes as I walk the thin line

Between love and hate

For the person with the same blood in his veins.

Is that Deidara? I thought he was sick. Well, sure, it had nothing to do with his throat, but I didn't think a sick person would sing…

Walking over to the hallway, I hear his soft voice get louder. It was nice, though sad, that I can hear his voice like this. The gruffness is gone and replaced with a downhearted, almost lonely tone.

You show no regrets

About all the things you did or said

I have failed you

But believe me

You failed me too

I sit down quietly and listen. I wish I knew why he is singing such a sad song. It makes me feel upset. Something is bothering him, yet he bottles it up inside.

"Good."

My heart freezes. What? Why is Itachi in there? Is Deidara letting out all of his emotions in front of someone he supposedly despises?

It's so easy to destroy

And condemn

The ones you do not understand

Do you ever wonder

If it's justified?

A pang of jealousy courses through my veins. It's not fair! Why is he singing for Itachi? I'm his friend! I'm the one who looks up to him, who cares for him! I fucking love him, and he goes out and pours his emotions to that brat, Itachi?

Ugh. My head hurts. I just want to go to bed. As I get up, my heart twists with pain… oh… I… what was I doing?

I look around to see Sempai's door open slightly. "Tobi, yeah?" Deidara looks somewhat annoyed, but I can see he is embarrassed. "What are you doing here, un? Go to bed."

I smile at him. He's so funny and cute when he's all flustered. "'Kay, night Sempai! Night Itachi-san!" I get up, only to fall back on my butt. I feel an arm wrap around me and I can see black hair fall around my shoulders.

"I'll help him." Itachi says bluntly before we start walking.

"Fine. Tobi, don't run into walls." I feel happiness rush through me. I know it's his way of saying 'Be careful'.

Without my knowledge, Deidara smiles and quickly departs into his room.

Explanations

1) Deidara (at the end) was happy that Tobi heard him sing. Don't ask, I just thought it was nice.

2) Madara was at the beginning, Tobi at the end. Split personalities RULE. And Madara is possessive. Lol

3) Itachi can be a kind, caring person. He just doesn't show it. –in denial-

4) That song is Destroyed by Within Temptation. Great band. Go look. –shoo's you away-
