Tobi is Tobi
It was one of those days. Yes, one of those days where you didn't really want to do anything at all. Deidara was in one of those moods; right when his consciousness had broken away from his dreams -which were mostly nightmares he had done to others anyway- he felt as though this was one of his lazy days.
Though most of the Akatsuki-and everyone else really- thought he was the weakest and laziest of the Akatsuki, though he was still stronger than the norm of ninjas. It was true mostly, for one it was because his lazy days appeared more than his serious ones. Though, Itachi always seemed to have a serious day. Bastard.
Deidara stared blankly, his eyelids halfway closed, at the ceiling of his dark, plain room, wishing he was outside lying in the grass, the morning sunrays heating his skin slightly, but no. Deidara was actually in one of their hideouts near Wave, in a plain pale colored room, in a very uncomfortable bed, with a faded blue blanket rolled up near his bare feet where he had probably kicked it off. Deidara's lightly muscled chest was bare, his light skin gleaming from the light sweat and light that was coming from under his closed door, from the hallway. His legs were spread far apart from the other, with his baggy, light blue-grey pants bunched up almost to his knees; the sheets rumpled and sweat lightly on and faintly clinging to his skin while his arms were up and over his head, bent at the elbow, his fingers lightly touching the ends of his blonde hair. His hair, out of its usual ponytail, was a mess, though still managing to not have tangles, around his head on the white pillow.
He glanced to the side, looking out the small window that was located near the left side of the bed; he was met with a dark and grey sky, rain that was followed by thunder and lightning. He sighed, No lazing in the sun then.
Looking around his room slowly, he wondered what exactly he was supposed be doing today. He remembered faintly that Pein-sama had ordered him to do something, but what was it? Slowly, Deidara rose from the bed, his shoulders slouched and blinking quickly a few times to get the sleep away from his eyes. He paused a moment, sensing a large amount of unease pass over his skin, causing a chill along with chill-bumps to climb over his skin, up and down his back.
Deidara immediately straightened, his eyes becoming focused rapidly, his muscles tense. His heart beat hurriedly in his chest, sweat already on his skin seemed to become even slicker on his body. His fists clenched and unclenched, almost in time with his heartbeat, He waited until the unease faded into nothing and a moment more before he let himself relax slightly. Feeling something in his right hand which was clenched tightly, he looked down with curiosity –anything was better than remembering the feeling of uneasiness he had felt earlier- what he saw didn't really surprise him, considering his training and what he was, but he hadn't even noticed that he had gotten a kunai.
What was that..? He questioned himself as he placed the kunai on the desk near his bed. Even though the unease had disappeared, he felt as if eyes were on his back, but there was only a wall. He swallowed thickly, a lump in his throat. He sighed, and ran a slightly shaky hand through his hair and then over his face, before picking himself up and walking toward a door that led to this room's bathroom that would, hopefully, get rid of the feeling of fear.
He was supposed to inspire fear in others, not the other way around. He angrily turned the shower on hot and pulled off his grey-blue baggy pants along with his bronzed colored boxers, before stepping into the already steaming shower. He sighed with contentment when the warm water hit his sweaty skin.
Deidara stood there for a moment, letting his hair soak, before grabbing his non-scented shampoo, washing it quickly, letting it rinse and scrubbing his body with a non-scented soap. Once he was finished, he stepped out of the shower, grabbing a light blue towel, he gradually dried himself and strode out of the cream white bathroom with the light blue towel around his waist feeling refreshed.
Suddenly he paused, mid-step to a closet, where he had just supplied his new clothes into, and smirked to himself. The unease and fear were gone. Unexpectedly, especially since this was one of his lazy days, he felt like he wanted to actually do something. Now what was it that Pein-sama wanted him to do?
He grumbled under his breath for a moment before going to the rather small closet, and snatching a pair of black bagging ninja pants and a black shirt along with his only Akatsuki cloak, he flung them on his bed as he walked over to a small bed-side desk where he put his socks and boxers. Pulling out one of his light blue boxers he tossed towel off his body onto the floor, where it would probably stay for a while, and pulled the boxers followed by his pants on. Just as Deidara slipped on his shirt, he was startled by a loud scream coming from down the hall, which sounded suspiciously like Tobi. Deidara scowled, and pulled his cloak on. He walked back over to the closet, bending down to the closet floor, grabbing a pair of blue ninja shoes; he ambled over to the bed and sat at the edge.
Before Deidara could put even one of his ninja shoes on, the door to his room was slammed open so harshly that Deidara winced. I am not fixing that… He thought to himself as he fixed a glower at the masked man before him. "Tobi," Deidara hissed under his breath, but loud enough for the annoying man to hear. "What do you want?"
"Well," The man had the audacity to laugh, "Tobi was wondering if Deidara-senpai was ready yet?"
Deidara's glare faltered slightly, and he cautiously asked, "Ready… for what?"
Tobi giggled. Giggled. Deidara looked disgusted, before wondering if it was the right thing to actually ask what he was ready for. "Deidara-senpai," The man with an orange swirly mask wiggled his finger in front of Deidara's face, who nearly took his finger off with a kunai if Tobi hadn't had moved it out of the way as fast as he did. "You said you would help Tobi with Christmas presents!"
Bewildered Deidara could only stare. "What..?"
Tobi sighed dramatically, "Tobi asked Deidara-senpai if you would help Tobi get Christmas presents for the Akatsuki!"
Deidara's mind paused. Some would even say his brain had stopped thinking for a moment, with a complete look of confusion across his face. "What..?"
"Deidara-senpai," Tobi whined. "Tobi explained!"
Deidara shook his head and glared heatedly at Tobi, there was no way in the seven hells and up that he would help Tobi, let alone buy Christmas presents. He was a murder, terrorist, missing-nin, and an Akatsuki, the last time he checked none of those kinds of people even cerebrated Christmas. Apparently, Tobi didn't get the memo. "No," He nearly growled under his breath, "I am not helping you with something so idiotic." Then Deidara paused again, remembering something else Tobi had said. "Since when did I ever agree to such a thing," He growled, ignoring Tobi's sobbing. What man sobbed about someone not helping them with Christmas presents?
Tobi sniffled, "A few days ago."
Deidara blinked, "Which day?"
Tobi lifted a finger to his chin in consideration, "Well, Tobi thinks it was four days ago."
Deidara angrily rubbed a hand over his face, "Tobi that was when I was drunk off my ass."
Tobi laughed, "Yeah, that's why Tobi asked you that day."
Deidara gapped, "What?"
"You wouldn't want to break a Swear would you Deidara-senpai?"
Deidara glowered, "I'm a shinobi, and I don't keep promises."
Tobi sobbed loudly, "But, Tobi is a good boy!"
Deidara slapped a hand to his face in annoyance, Good boy my ass. "Why don't you just ask Itachi?"
"Tobi did."
"And?"
"Itachi-senpai was very mean and tried to hit Tobi with a fire ball."
"I see… and Kisame?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Right… What about asking Konan?"
"Tobi is scared of Konan."
Deidara blinked with a raised eyebrow, "Uh… okay. Hidan?"
Tobi giggled, "That's funny Deidara-senpai."
Deidara scowled, "Kakuzu?" Tobi giggled again, causing Deidara's scowl to deepen. "Zetsu?"
"Zetsu-senpai said that he was too busy."
Deidara sighed loudly, "Smart bastard," he muttered under his breath so Tobi wouldn't hear him, "And Pein-sama?"
Tobi sighed, "Pein-sama was busy to."
"I guess you're just going to have to get the presents by yourself then, because I have a mission from Pein-sama," Deidara lied smoothly.
Tobi cried loudly, "Okay Deidara-senpai!" Tobi sprinted out of the room, leaving Deidara to sigh in relief.
No wonder he had felt uneasy earlier, he thought as he continued to slip on his ninja shoes.
