“Changed… How?” Deidara whispered. His mouth was dry from anticipation.
Zetsu sighed. “…Madara… came over to Itachi’s once while I was babysitting Tobi, looking for Itachi. I fell in love with him when I first saw him… I didn’t care that he was thirty years older than me – I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with him…”
Deidara nodded. “So what happened? …Un.”
“Itachi found out that I liked him… He told me that Madara would only hurt me… I didn’t believe him, but I couldn’t bring myself to say anything to Itachi – after all, he was my only friend at that time. But… The more Madara came over, the more Itachi made me angry for trying to tell me that Madara was bad… Madara was so kind to me, and when I finally got up the courage to tell him my feelings… He accepted me and I moved in with him.”
Deidara nodded. “What happened between you and Itachi?”
“I got to work, and… Itachi waited until we were alone before saying how I was in danger by being with Madara… I couldn’t take it anymore! He told me that Madara was abusive and would only hurt me! …I snapped. Why was Itachi trying to break us up? I wondered if Itachi was jealous, but I remembered that he had Kisame… So that couldn’t have been it… So…”
Zetsu hesitated. Deidara waited patiently for him to continue.
“So I waited until Itachi had left to go and make sure that Tobi and Sasuke were alright up the front… I grabbed one of the knives… and waited for him to turn around. When he did, he... He… Deidara-san, he didn’t even fight back!”
Zetsu broke down into tears. Deidara moved to comfort him. The blonde rubbed his back.
“It’s okay… You don’t have to continue on if you don’t want to, Zetsu, yeah.”
“Deidara, the look on his face…! And yet… when I was pulled off him… He was still worried for me! Begged me to reconsider – I had stabbed him so many times! …He only wanted what was best for me… He didn’t say anything about me, or what I had just done, and I hated how he could just ignore that when he was laying on ground waiting for an ambulance! The last thing he had said before he passed out was; I just wish you could see what you’re getting yourself into. My door is still open if you change your mind. …And all I did was threaten Tobi with the knife next and say that I would tell him the one secret that Itachi and Sasuke had fought so hard to keep from him…”
Deidara frowned while Tobi tilted his head.
“Please tell Tobi the secret…” Tobi whispered with a pleading look in his eye.
“Not now, Tobi. …Un.” Deidara hissed. “This isn’t the time. Zetsu, I’m guessing that’s why Itachi had asked you to stay away from Tobi?”
“Yes… His love for his family overpowered our friendship, but that was completely understandable. But now… I miss Itachi so much! I want him back! I know now why he said what he had, but I was too stupid to listen to him! Why?! Why didn’t I listen to him?!”
Deidara pulled Zetsu into a hug and held the man tightly. “It’s okay… I’m sure that Itachi understands everything completely – that’s just the kind of man that he is. I bet that he’s still willing to take you back in now that you know, too.”
“But… I can’t leave Madara… He’ll come after me, and he’ll kill me… He might kill Itachi and the others if I come here! He might kill you, and he doesn’t even know you!”
“Zetsu…” Deidara took the elder’s face in his hands. “…Itachi’s father is the police chief. I know that he and Itachi aren’t on the best of terms, but I doubt he’d let something like this happen. We just need to talk to Itachi and he can tell Fugaku…”
“No… Madara is Fugaku’s older brother and he’s made it clear that he doesn’t care about me…”
Deidara shook his head – he wanted nothing more than to help Zetsu, but he knew that it wasn’t going to happen.
“Zetsu!” Madara shouted from the living room before another word could be said. “Get your fucking tight ass out here, you good-for-nothing punching bag!”
Zetsu flinched, whimpering, before getting up from his seat. He was stopped by Deidara grabbing his arm. The blonde handed him a piece of paper.
“Call me.” Deidara said. Zetsu nodded and slipped the paper into his shirt pocket.
Deidara remained in the kitchen with Tobi, holding his face in his hands. This was just one huge mess. He knew that even though he barely knew Zetsu, he wanted to help him – it was wrong to leave Zetsu alone in that without support.
“Senpai…” Tobi’s quiet voice whispered, tugging Deidara from his thoughts. “Tobi wants to know the secret…”
Deidara frowned. “I’m sorry, Tobi… I didn’t even know that there was a secret – I can’t help…”
Tobi’s eye welled up with tears. “What if the secret is so bad that Tobi won’t ever know it…?”
“…I’m sure that it won’t come to that, Tobi… Itachi isn’t one to keep secrets...”
“Hold Tobi…?” Tobi whispered. Deidara smiled and nodded before picking him back up and placing him securely in his lap. “Tobi loves Senpai…”
“And I love you, too, Tobi-kun.”

It was dinnertime when Madara and Zetsu left. They had been there for hours. Because of that, everyone was on edge. They had been forced to witness Madara bashing into Zetsu savagely, going as far as to smash the younger man’s face into the wall. It had been enough to drive everyone into near insanity.
But now, as they all settled down onto the couch, glad to have them gone, they were frustrated to hear a knock on their door and see Zetsu standing out on the porch again.
Itachi opened the door to him. Zetsu stood there, looking awkward.
“Madara left his coat in the living room…” Zetsu mumbled, shivering.
Itachi nodded. “Come in, Zetsu.”
Zetsu awkwardly did, following Itachi into the living room. He grabbed the coat from the end of the couch. After stuttering a quick thank you, he turned to leave. Itachi stopped him.
“Don’t go back, Zetsu…” Itachi said quietly. “Stay here. He can’t make you stay there, and he knows this.”
Zetsu shook his head. “I-I can’t…!”
“Zetsu, please. I don’t care about what happened between us – I just need to know that you won’t hurt my family. Please… Stay, Zetsu…”
Zetsu burst into tears. Itachi frowned, hugging him tight. He quietly begged for the younger to stay.
“I-I’m sorry, Itachi…!” Zetsu choked out.
Itachi shook his head sadly. “Then please, let me give you a jacket…”
Zetsu smiled weakly, accepting the offer. Itachi left quickly and the green-haired male waited patiently for him to return. Just moments later, he was grabbing a black jacket that Itachi had handed to him. He noted that the Uchiha had given him one of his best jackets.
“T-thank you…” Zetsu whispered as tears ran down his cheeks.
Itachi smiled and pulled his friend into a hug. They embraced a goodbye, knowing that Zetsu shouldn’t stay much longer or Madara would only hurt the boy again.
“Say goodbye to Tobi-kun for me.” Zetsu whispered before turning around to leave for the door. “Goodbye, Itachi-kun, Dei-san… Kisame-san.”
“Goodbye, Zetsu…” Itachi frowned. “Just remember that we’ll always be here for you.”
Zetsu smiled at everyone. “Thanks…”
And with that, he walked out of the doorway. Itachi turned away as his body quivered with withheld emotions. Kisame cuddled the younger man in an effort to soothe the Uchiha. He knew that he couldn’t say anything that would comfort his love, so it was best to stay silent.
Deidara rubbed Itachi’s back before heading to Tobi’s bedroom where the young man had been placed. Tobi was still awake, and he smiled at Deidara as the blonde walked through the door.
“They’re gone now, hmm.” Deidara said in a quiet voice. “Let’s get you some dinner now.”
Deidara gently picked Tobi up, carrying him into the kitchen. As they got to the hallway, they could hear Itachi and Kisame inside, talking.
“You’ve got to do something, Itachi.” Kisame had spoken. “I know that it would be very hard to do, but something’s got to be done… He can’t keep living like that.”
“I know, Kisame…” Itachi sounded as he were close to tears. “I’m trying to work out what to do…”
Deidara placed his hand on Tobi’s mouth, signalling him to be quiet. He didn’t feel right about eavesdropping, but if his feelings were proved correct, they would soon find out about the ‘secret’.
“How old is Zetsu?” Kisame asked.
“He would have just turned twenty a few days ago. He and Madara had gotten together when he was sixteen. Madara will be fifty the same day Tobi turns nineteen.”
“I love you, Itachi-chan. I’ll never hit you or treat you like that.”
“I love you, too, Kisame.”
There were a few seconds of kissing sounds before Kisame spoke again. “What’s up with the secret, Itachi-chan?”
Deidara and Tobi heard the older Uchiha shift in his seat. “…Well… The accident that Tobi was in as a child… He thinks that both of his parents died in it, but… That isn’t completely true…”
Deidara and Tobi leant closer to the door.
“You mean they’re still alive?” Kisame whispered.
“No. Tobi’s mother died, but… That man in the car with them wasn’t Tobi’s father… The man thought that he was, but… Tobi’s mother had an affair with the man’s best friend and conceived Tobi. That man she had the affair with… was Madara… Kisame, Madara is Tobi’s father.”
