Chapter 17
Precious Time
They told everyone about their experience at the mansion. They even told them about Deidara's condition. Tobi suggested having a party but he thought it's silly. He didn't know that his fellow members will agree…
"Everyone, get ready for the party. Konan and Leader-sama will cook. Itachi-san, you have to help me prepare the plates and utensils." said Kisame, winking at Itachi, his eyes glowing in the dark room.
"Hey, I'll do that! Go cook the fucking fish!" complained Hidan.
"I enjoy working with Itachi-san, you idiot. Find your own job." he retorted.
"I'll bake a cake, un!" Deidara volunteered. "Sasori-danna, wanna help me?"
"Sure."
Soon, the party started. The dark room was filled with colorful decorations—blue, red, and green strips of paper, animal cut-outs, paper hats, and balloons with eye stickers (Tobi was responsible for those). There was a big table with lots of food arranged on top. The big cake Deidara baked was at the center. It was a chocolate cake with sprinkles of small bits of chocolate. Every one started eating.
"So, how's the vacation?" asked Kakuzu.
"Sasori-danna was so dramatic, un." Deidara giggled. "Right, Danna?"
Sasori blushed. "Hey, you were the one who was dramatic. 'Please don't leave, Sasori-danna!' you kept on saying while crying. How dramatic…"
"I was not crying! It was the rain, un." Deidara scoffed, taking another bite of cookie.
"We're sure you guys had a lot of fun." Kisame said, winking again at Itachi. Hidan caught him.
"Fuck up, Kisame." Hidan glared. "Itachi looks mad."
"Shut up, Hidan. I was just blinking. Right, Itachi-san?"
"Hn."
The party ended after two hours. Deidara and Sasori went inside their room like what everybody did.
"Danna, close your eyes, un." Deidara commanded. "Hold on." He got a small chocolate cake from the refrigerator and poked a candle at the center. He lit the candle.
"Now open your eyes, un." Once Sasori's eyes were opened, Deidara swiftly kissed his forehead. Sasori held the back of his head and kissed back.
"What's this all about, Dei Dei?" he asked.
"I just… want to apologize, un." the blonde's fingertips smoothened over Sasori's left eyebrow, following its curved shape. The room was dark, but the glow of the candle on the cake gave a speck of light. Sasori got Deidara's hand and secured it in both of his.
"It's alright." he said, smiling. "Anyway, let me taste this cake…" he sliced a small piece and ate it. "It's good, huh."
"Because I can't make burnt cookies, un." Deidara bragged. "Right, Danna?"
Sasori blushed, looking away from Deidara, "Oh, forget about that! Respect your danna, brat."
Deidara scrunched Sasori's red hair with both of his hands. "Yes, danna." He got some icing on the cake and wiped it on Sasori's nose. "It's yummier if I eat it this way…" he licked the brown icing.
Sasori smiled gently, when he realized their faces were just inches apart, "You're so beautiful, Deidara…" This made Deidara blush.
"Stop flattering me, un!" Deidara pushed Sasori backwards, making the cake fall on the bed. Soon, he was on top of Sasori. The tips of his blonde hair strands tickled Sasori's face, and he needed to brush them off and clip them behind Deidara's ears.
"Deidara?"
"Hmm?"
"Kiss me." his brown eyes were staring through Deidara's. Suddenly, they smelled something—it was like smoke—and it was. The blanket was burning because of the candle. They covered it with the pillow and it was gone. "Now, where were we?"
"You told me to kiss you, un." He drew his face closer, the tips of their noses touching. He kissed Sasori in the lips very gently, as if he was kissing a baby. "I love you, Sasori-danna."
"I love you too, Cutie Patootie."
"I believe you can make it without me, un." Sasori knew what he was talking about.
"Please, Dei—"
"Sasori-danna, you have to accept it. I'll have to leave you soon." He stroked Sasori's face. "I deserve it because I didn't accomplish my mission, un."
Sasori was silent for seconds. I don't want you to leave… Can't you feel what I'm feeling right now?!
At last, he spoke, "Dei Dei, just—kill me."
Deidara was surprised with his Danna's words. "What are you saying, Sasori-danna? I can't kill you, un."
"It's the only way for you to survive." he replied desperately. "Kill me—now."
"What's the problem with you?"
Sasori held Deidara's head and placed it in front of his, allowing their foreheads to touch each other. "Or… I'll just kill myself when you die. That would be better."
Deidara's face was calmer. "I guess so…" he said, making a faint curl in his lips.
