Deidara's POV

I move my arm to the side and felt the weird prickly texture of clay.

Wait..

This is not my clay bird, it's the feeling of grass.

I wake to the sun shining in my eyes, I force my body up and found myself layed against a tree. I rub my eyes and removed the robe, which seemed to be Tobi's, I shrug then scan the area.

It seems like I'm underneath a black tent. By tent, I mean a blanket of black cloth on top of a tree branch. I look to the left of me as there was an unused pillow. Maybe Tobi was sleeping there.

Speaking of Tobi, where is he?

"Tobi, un?", I call out, stumbling outside of the poorly made tent. "Where are you, hm?"

"Ah Senpai!", a voice calls from behind. "You're up!"

"Where are we, un?", I ask as plot myself next to him on a log. I rub my eyes once more before letting out a yawn.

"Somewhere in the forest.", he responds and hands me a dozen of berries on a stick. I nod and accept the small snack then tearing off the first berry.

"Thanks, un.", I say as I look up and give a small smile. "So, about yesterday.."

Tobi draws his attention away from his fruit on a stick to me.

How does he eat without taking his mask off?? How does his food go through his mask and onto his stomach??

"Yeah Senpai?", he answers as he tilts his head.

"I.. I don't know what to say, un..", I start off. "I don't think anyone ever actually took care of me like that.. So - uh - what I'm trying to say is thanks, un."

Whydoesmyfacefeelsofreakingred?!

"Aww, senpai is acting cute~", Tobi conpliments as he pats my head.

I stare at him for a moment, my face heating up even more as I shake my head to get rid of the feeling.

"I-I am not cute, un!", I manage to choke out as I immediately turn away.

This is so unlike me. Why am I letting this happen, un.

I take another bite from my stick and clear my throat. "A-anyways.. How are we going to get back to the base, hm?"

Tobi shrugs. "Tobi doesn't know, maybe Senpai and Tobi can wait..?"

"That's a hell lot of time wasted.", I reply. "How about we do something, un?"

"Like a game??!", he exclaims, his hands clasp together.

"Yeah sure. Anything to pass the time.", I say as I roll my eyes.

I haven't played any actual games in a while. My childhood innocence was stripped from me, I was so damn naive..

"What about a game of 10 Questions?", he suggests. "Tobi wants to know more about Senpai..!"

"Okay, 10 Questions it is.", I say. "You go first, un."

It may not seem like it but I want to know more about Tobi too.

Tobi's POV

I mean, it isn't so bad being stuck with Deidara in the middle of a forest. I have got to admit, his laugh is pretty cute, I could stare into his blue bell eyes all day.. I could reach out to touch his soft blond hair which shine under the sun.

Wait, no, stop.

What am I thinking?

Obito, you do NOT have the big gay for Deidara.

You're doing this all for Rin.

Aghh, roll with it 'Obi, roll with it.

"Alright Tobi question 9, what do you hide underneath that mask of yours?", the blond asks, interrupting my thoughts.

I knew it. I saw this coming.

"That.. is a question Tobi can never answer.", I reply low.

"But why, hm?", he asks. "It's been bothering me of how you eat with a mask on, un."

"Hn..", I clear my throat. "Tobi can't say!"

Oh shit. I nearly exposed the Uchiha's way of 'hn'-ing.

"But--!"

"No buts Deidara-Senpai~", I tease as I placed a finger on his lips.

The shorter male pushes me away as he hid his flushed face.

Wow, I'm such a flirt!

"Don't get so close.to my face, un!", he whimpers.

"But Senpai want to know, right?", I ask in a teasing manner, he nods with the purest smile ever.

I pick up a berry and hold up it my fingers. "You see this berry Senpai? Watch carefully."

I hold the fruit and he eyes me closely, I bring hand up before STUFFING THE DAMN FRUIT IN MY EYE AND OH FUCK IT BURNS.

Lesson learnt, don't stick berries in your eye.

Deidara stares at me blankly before letting out a laugh.

I felt my heart skip a beat or two, I can't believe I stabbed my own eye with a fruit for this kid.

My heart, it continues to beat out of my chest. It was racing and beating at sonic speed.

This feeling..

No, I shouldn't be feeling.

I can't feel.

I'm a nobody, I'm practically heartless.

But with Deidara, I feel so alive.

"Tobi's turn senpai!!", I exclaim as I felt the berry juice sting my eye. "Uhmmm... Who is senpai's favourite Akatsuki member and why?"

"That's a hard question, un. I mean, I get along pretty well with everyone EXCEPT Itachi cause I hate his sharingan technique. A brat like him thinks he's so almighty, disgusting un.", Deidara says. "I would have to say that I prefer Hidan, un. He's pretty rad and I get along with him better than anyone else. But of course I respect each and every one of the members."

"Does Senpai respect Tobi?", I ask.

Let's hope so, I've been acting like a childish brat towards everyone and I hate it so much.

I don't deserve anyone's respect.

"Don't push it, un. But yeah, I do respect you.", the blonde replies. "It may not seem like it but if it weren't for your dumb personality, I'd probably like you a hell lot more.

Is he hinting the fact that he would see more than just a friend??

WOW OBITO UCHIHA, MAKING GUYS GAY SINCE WHO KNOWS!!

"WoOOOOw sENPAI!! TOBI DIDN'T THINK SENPAI WOULD EVER LIKE TOBI!!"

"D-don't push it. Let's get going, un. We have some grocery shopping to do."

I nod in response as we both gather our materials before hopping back onto the clay bird.

I didn't think that I would ever be able to find happiness in a forced organization like this, but I think I just found my source of light.
