“What are you doing?” Deidara asked Sasuke, coming into the younger’s room and sitting on the bed.
“Texting Naruto.” Sasuke shrugged. “I’m going over to see him later tonight when everyone’s gone.”
“I hope you’re not sexting him.” Deidara smirked. He grinned evilly when Sasuke gave him the standard Uchiha glare. “Itachi wouldn’t approve of that, hmm.”
“I’m not sexting him.” Sasuke said in a dangerously low tone. “If you’re just here to tease me, you can get out of my room.”
Deidara just laughed. “I was just playing, Sasuke-kun. Do you know Zetsu, yeah?”
“Zetsu?”
“Yeah. He’s got green hair and –“
“I know Zetsu.” Sasuke spat, glaring daggers at the wall behind Deidara.
“What can you tell me about him, yeah?” Deidara’s heart raced in anticipation – a clue to his mystery!
Sasuke shrugged. “Not much. I didn’t really get to know him very well. He worked with nii-san and used to come over all the time – stayed with us for a while. He used to babysit Sasuke and I when nii-san and Kisame weren’t around, but I stayed in my room a lot.”
Deidara nodded, absorbing the information like a sponge in water. “What do you know about him, hmm?”
Sasuke stared at Deidara suspiciously. “Why are you asking me all this? Itachi-nii doesn’t like for me to talk about Zetsu.”
“Because when I was at the hospital, I ran into him and it looked as if he had been bashed. He was scared of someone. …Un.”
Sasuke rolled his eyes. “Figures. Aniki was right, but he didn’t listen…”
“Do you know why Itachi doesn’t like him, yeah?”
Deidara was desperate for answers. He wanted his mystery solved.
“It’s not that aniki doesn’t like him – Itachi does like Zetsu. But Zetsu hurt aniki and threatened Tobi. I don’t know why. Tobi and I were sitting at a table in the café where nii-san was working and all I remember is Itachi-nii on the ground with Zetsu on top of him attacking him. Then he turned on Tobi and threatened his life.”
“Does Tobi remember this?”
Sasuke shrugged again. “It’s not exactly something we talk about a lot, Dei. Look, this is really all I know. If you want answers, you need to talk to Itachi-nii.”
Deidara nodded and smiled at Sasuke. “Thank you, Sasuke-kun, yeah.”
“Hn.”
Deidara left the room, closing the door quietly and heading to Tobi’s instead. Tobi was on his bed listening to the radio and singing along with the songs that he knew. He grinned when he saw Deidara.
“Senpai!” Tobi seemed cheerful right now. “Did Senpai come to give Tobi goodnight kiss?”
Deidara chuckled. “No. I wanted to see if you were ready to come out and meet my friends. I really want to introduce you to everyone. Please, Tobi?”
Tobi whimpered, looking away. The idea of meeting so many new people at once was overwhelming.
“I promise that you’ll love Konan.” Deidara pleaded. “And Pein is very nice, too. They’ll look after you – I swear. And Hidan and Kakuzu probably won’t even take any notice of you, hmm.”
“…”
“Tobi, please? …Un.”
“…Okay, Senpai…” Tobi mumbled in a soft whisper.
Deidara grinned. He approached the bed and picked Tobi up, carrying him into the living room. Tobi jumped as he heard a female squeal. He whimpered and hid his face against Deidara’s chest.
“Shh…” Tobi heard Deidara shush someone. “He’s very nervous right now and you’ll scare him if you be so loud. Say hi, Tobi.”
Tobi whimpered again before turning slowly to look at everyone. He recognised Kakuzu and Hidan only because he remembered they neither of them had a face-full of piercings – like the other man did.
“H-hello…” Tobi whimpered in uncertainty.
“He’s so cute!” Konan squealed before restraining herself, remembering what Deidara had just said. “Hello, Tobi! I’m Konan. I’m really pleased to meet you.”
“Really?” Tobi smiled at Konan before tilting his head at Pein, studying him closely. What did Deidara say that his name was again?
“Umm…” Tobi desperately tried to remember the man’s name, but it just wouldn’t come to him. Then he remembered the piercings. “…Hello… Lightning-Rod…”
Pein and Konan gasped. Hidan burst out laughing, and Itachi went livid.
“Tobi!” Itachi scolded. “How rude of you! Apologise to Pein!”
Tobi whimpered, hiding his face back in Deidara’s chest. He was taken by surprise when Pein and Konan both started laughing hysterically. He reluctantly looked at them before realising that they were laughing because they thought that he had said something funny and weren’t angry at all.
Tobi smiled slightly, relaxed by the cheerful atmosphere of the room. “Tobi thinks that Konan-chan is very pretty.”
“Aww!” Konan squealed again, literally tackling Deidara to the ground and yanking Tobi from his grasp so that she could hold and cuddle the young Uchiha. “He’s so cute! Can we keep him?! Please?!”
Pein chuckled. “No, honey.”
Konan turned to Itachi. “Itachi, can we please keep him?! We promise to take good care of him!”
Itachi smiled, shaking his head. “No, Konan. But you’re welcome to hog him for the night if Tobi doesn’t mind.”
Konan grinned, turning to face Tobi. “Do you mind if I hold you and hug you and make a fuss over you and love you like you were my newborn baby for the night?”
Tobi tilted his head before smiling at the woman. “Dei-senpai was right – Tobi likes Konan-chan.”
“You hear that?!” The woman literally screamed. “He likes me!”
-XX-
“Fuck, it was great to see all of you bitches again!” Hidan exclaimed, hugging Deidara and Itachi in a death-hug before letting Kakuzu say goodbye.
“Yes, we definitely need to catch up again, just like the old times.” Kakuzu agreed, getting his keys from his pocket and opening the door for Hidan. “We should really be getting home now before this idiot passes out from excitement.”
Itachi and Deidara smiled at the two while Pein said a few more quick words to his friends. Konan had already said her goodbyes – true to her word, she was too busy fussing over Tobi. She had already gone over the house, looking for unsafe things that he could get into but, as Itachi had to remind her, he was crippled, not mentally disabled.
“Pein, quick!” Konan hissed playfully as Deidara and Itachi stood at the door. “While they’re not looking, we’ll hide Tobi in our car!”
Pein laughed, kissing Konan’s forehead. “You really like Tobi, don’t you? Well, don’t worry, love… We’ll be having our own in a few months, remember? That’s why we moved… This town isn’t suitable for raising children.”
Konan smiled and nodded, kissing Pein back. The front door closed and Itachi and Deidara smiled at them.
“We have a spare room that you two can sleep in.” Itachi said, motioning towards the hall. “Would you like to go to bed now or later? It’s just getting late is all.”
Pein looked at his watch – it was only eight-thirty… Well, the last few hours must have been exhausting for Itachi who was no longer used to being so active for so long. He smiled and nodded at the Uchiha, deciding that the black-haired man deserved the rest after his big achievement tonight.
“We’ll go to bed now, Itachi.” Pein faked a yawn. “I think that Konan and I are worn out.”
Konan caught on quickly, but that meant having to part with Tobi. “Aww… Okay. I’ll see you in the morning, Tobi-kun.”
Tobi giggled and smiled. “Goodnight, Konan-chan, Pein-sama.”
“Goodnight, Tobi.” Pein smiled back.
Deidara took Tobi from Konan, carrying him back into his room and lying him down in the bed. He covered the boy over with blankets.
“Goodnight, Tobi.” Deidara smiled, kissing the boy on the lips.
Tobi kissed back. “Goodnight, Senpai.”
Deidara smiled at Tobi before turning the nightlight on and shutting the door quietly. He could hear Konan and Pein getting ready for bed in the spare bedroom next to his own. He hoped that they wouldn’t do it tonight – he had heard rumours about their sex lives and apparently they weren’t quiet.
Thankfully, the gods had chosen tonight to be merciful and everyone else had gone to sleep pretty early – even Sasuke, who was used to staying up past midnight doing God-knows-what.
Only Deidara was left awake. He wondered about Zetsu. He would have to ask Itachi tomorrow if the Uchiha was up to it – today would have drained him, after all.
-XX-
When Deidara woke up the next day, it was lunchtime. He must have had a big day himself, because he rarely slept past nine-thirty. As he sat up slowly, he remembered that it was Itachi’s birthday today.
“Oh, shit!” Deidara cried. He ran from the bedroom in his pyjamas. “Itachi! Itachi!”
Itachi poked his head around the living room door. “What’s wrong?”
“Itachi, I’m so sorry I slept in! Happy birthday, yeah!”
Itachi smiled. “That’s okay. I asked for everyone to let you sleep in. You haven’t missed anything – we were waiting for you to join us before we did anything.”
Deidara sighed in relief. “Thank God... Thought I had wrecked it all… …Un.”
“Why on earth would you have wrecked anything by sleeping in?” Itachi raised an eyebrow.
Deidara blushed and looked down. “Never mind, yeah…”
“Well, come into the living room, Dei. We’re going to open the presents now that you’re awake.”
Deidara smiled and ran into the living room while Itachi took his time in returning. Kisame was there as expected, sitting on the couch with a large grin – he, being the social animal that he was – loved birthdays. The second that Itachi had returned into the living room, he curled up on the Hoshigaki’s lap and leant against the strong chest, purring almost silently as the older man’s arms were wrapped around him.
Deidara looked around and saw that Tobi and Sasuke were in a similar position but sitting on the floor instead. As soon as Tobi noticed him, he reached out for the blonde instead, whining softly. Sasuke laughed.
“Senpai!” Tobi cried, whining. He looked very much like a toddler wanting to be held.
Deidara smiled. He knelt down beside the two Uchiha and grabbed Tobi, seating him in his lap like Itachi was in Kisame’s. He looked around for Pein and Konan, but they were nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Pein and Konan? …Un.” Deidara asked. He had been looking forward to spending more time with them.
“They left about an hour ago.” Sasuke explained, grabbing his present from behind his back and passing it to Itachi. “They wanted to stay, but there was an emergency at work.”
Deidara nodded, frowning – he didn’t even get to say goodbye…
“Open my present, nii-san!” Sasuke grinned in excitement, handing Itachi a well-wrapped present that resembled a rectangle.
“Thank you, otouto.” Itachi smiled. He took the present and unwrapped it with care. Inside was a signed copy of the latest Make-Out series. He grinned at Sasuke, reaching down to poke him in the forehead. “Why, very thoughtful of you, otouto. I’m excited to read it tonight.”
Sasuke beamed. He was glad that Itachi liked his present. He had gone through hell and back to get that book signed – hell, he wasn’t even legally allowed to buy it.
“Tobi next! Tobi next!” Tobi exclaimed in excitement.
Itachi smiled at his cousin. “Of course, Tobi.”
Deidara handed Itachi the present that was sitting on Tobi’s lap. Itachi opened the small box, beaming at the silver necklace with three circles on it.
“It’s very nice.” Itachi said, handing the necklace to Kisame so that the older man could put it on for him. “Good boy, Tobi. I love it. I’ll wear it all of the time.
Tobi cheered happily, pleased that his present had been accepted. Deidara frowned as he realised that he had left his present in his bedroom. He apologised and hurried off to get it. He returned just moments later, sitting back down on the ground and handing the envelope to Itachi.
Itachi opened the packaging carefully. He found one-dozen gift vouchers inside. Half of them were for the bakery (Itachi liked these ones that most so that he could stock up on his dango), and the other half for assorted shops.
“My turn now.” Kisame was grinning widely as he handed his lover another envelope.
Itachi smiled at Kisame, thanking the older man. Inside were two free vouchers for the new onsen that had opened up a few towns over – and they were valid for two weeks after activating them.
“Kisame…” Itachi stared at Kisame. No words could describe how he felt. “…Thank you… So much… Thank you – all of you – for the wonderful presents.”
Before anyone could reply, the doorbell rang. Sasuke – the only one in view of the window that overlooked the porch – gasped.
“What?” Deidara put Tobi onto the ground and walked to the window. He peered out. His eyes widened when he saw who was standing on the porch. “Z-zetsu?! Who’s he here with? …Un.”
