The medic nins had cleaned Tobi back up as soon as they found him and Deidara clinging to each other, crying, and sent him back to his hotel room with Deidara after making sure he was healing properly. Tobi had not said one word the entire trip back and Deidara was getting worried. Tobi wasnt like this during the exam in the Forest of Death; did Orochimaru finally break Tobi's happy-go-lucky attitude?
Opening the door to the room, Deidara pulled Tobi in gently, laying him down on the bed and covering him with the blankets. Tobi looked at Deidara wearily for a few seconds, closing his eye and rolling over onto his side to go back to sleep.
Deidara was getting worried about Tobi. He knew that the teen slept quite a bit, but that was normally because of Zetsu asking him to rest so he had plenty of energy left on missions and for training, but this wasnt normal. All Tobi had done so far was sleep.
Gently shaking Tobi's shoulder, Deidara tried his best to get him to stay awake. "No, Tobi, no more sleeping until tonight, alright, un? You gotta stay awake for a while now, hmm. Let's get you some food. You havent eaten since last night. You must be starving, un."
"Tobi's not hungry, Sempai..."
Deidara's grin disappeared. This was going to be harder than he thought. "Well, how about we go and train together for the final exams, yeah? It's in three days, Tobi, we have to be at our best."
"Tobi doesnt want to, Sempai..."
Deidara let out an angry huff. "Than what the fuck do you wanna do, yeah?!" he shouted. "I'm trying to help you, Tobi, un!"
Tobi began crying at his sempai's outburst and Deidara mentally slapped himself. Yep. He fucked up. Big time. Deidara was the only person here Tobi could trust and look up to at the moment, and now that he needed Deidara more than ever, Deidara couldnt help him. Why was this so hard?
Sitting on the bed beside Tobi he pulled the young teen into his arms. "I'm sorry, Tobi, un. What do you want to do?"
"Tobi wants... t-to sleep..." he sniffed.
"Anything else, un?"
"Cry..."
"Yes, crying is good, Tobi, un. Let it all out, Ok? Come on. You can cry on my shoulder, yeah."
Tobi did what Deidara had told him and began to cry into his sempai's shoulder. Deidara held him like that patiently, listening as Tobi let out loud cries of built up emotion, holding Tobi still as the boy trembled violently. Deidara rubbed Tobi's back gingerly, trying to be as gentle as he could with Tobi at the moment.
Tobi had eventually cried himself to sleep in Deidara's arms but Deidara didnt have the heart to wake him back up. Instead he laid him back down on the bed and left the room to find them some dinner.
***
As soon as Deidara got back to the hotel with dinner in hand, he heard Tobi screaming from their room. Running to their room Deidara saw that their door was hanging wide open and Deidara feared that Orochimaru was back. Instead running into the room he saw a group of hotel staff crowded around the bed, trying to calm Tobi down. There were other customers in the hotel crowding the outside of the room to see what was happening too.
"Tobi, un!" Deidara called out, setting the food down on the table and running to Tobi. "It's going to be Ok, yeah, he's not here! Calm down!"
Tobi didnt calm down; if anything, he was thrashing even worse. The hotel staff had backed away, fearful of Tobi's flailing limbs; that armor would not tickle if they came into contact with while Tobi was in this state.
Deidara clambered onto the bed, straddling Tobi and grabbing his arms. He did the only thing he could think of to wake Tobi up and that was to slap him across the face. Lifting his mask a little, he slapped the young teen across the face, jumping off of him as Tobi bolted upright, letting out a final scream.
Looking around, Tobi saw all these strangers surrounding him. He was too crowded and he felt threatened. Crawling under the blankets he assumed the fetel position, sobbing into the mattress. He felt someone lifting the blankets up and tensed his muscles, but he recognised Deidara's chakra and looked up. Deidara had a sad smile on his face, not knowing what to do about Tobi.
Opening his arms wide, he allowed Tobi to make the choice of physical contact and was a little surprised to feel Tobi crawling into them, leaning against Deidara's chest and sobbing into his shoulder again. Deidara tightened his hold around the trembling boy, not knowing what to do with him anymore. He had never comforted anyone before, and no one had ever comforted him, let alone come near him unless it was for... well, what they would us him for as a child.
"Can you all leave now?" Deidara whispered, feeling Tobi loosen up in his arms, his breathing slow and relaxed as he went back to sleep. "He needs to rest and he's not allowed to be crowded like this."
The manager of the hotel bowed. "Hai."
The staff all filed out of the room, clearing away all the onlookers, leaving Deidara alone with a sleeping Tobi.
***
After what felt like forever, Tobi had finally woken back up again. Sniffling a little, Tobi looked up at Deidara. Deidara was leaning back against the headboard of the bed, snoring quietly, but when he felt Tobi shift against him he opened his eyes, looking at the teen.
"You're awake, Tobi, un," Deidara smiled, running his hand through the boy's soft hair. "Now let's get some food into you."
"Tobi's not hungry."
Deidara frowned. "Come on, Tobi, you have to eat. What would Zetsu say if he knew you were starving yourself?"
"Zetsu-kun," Tobi sniffed, "doesnt care for Tobi. Orochimaru said."
"Tobi, dont you ever say that again!" Deidara shouted, startling Tobi. "Zetsu loves you, Tobi! He would do anything for you!"
"Can Tobi ask Sempai a question?" Tobi whispered as he got over his shock of being yelled at.
"Sure."
"How come Pein-sama sent Deidara-sempai here and not Zetsu-kun?"
"Because Zetsu had his own missions and requested for another member to come and watch over your stupid ass." Of course, Deidara didnt mention that it was Zetsu himself who asked for Deidara to be sent along. "You know what, Tobi? I'm sick of trying to look after you now! You're so complicated! Fuck the mission! We're going back to the base! Get your ass up!"
Deidara threw Tobi to the ground, ignoring Tobi's pained and terrified cries as he hit the hard floor. Getting up off the bed himself, he grabbed his own pack, throwing his hairbrush, toothpaste and toothbrush and other daily necessities into it, throwing it over his shoulder as he threw Tobi's pack at the quivering boy.
"Get ready, dumbass!" Deidara shouted. "We're leaving in five minutes! If you havent got all your stuff it's staying here!"
Tobi sniffled to himself, getting up off the ground and picking his pack up. "Everything's in here, Sempai... T-tobi doesnt... u-unpack on missions..."
"Why didnt you say that before, un?!" Deidara grabbed Tobi's short raven hair, pulling and twisting on it to pull Tobi towards the door.
Tobi was crying out in pain as he felt his hair being ripped from its roots, but he was powerless to defend himself against his sempai.
'You know you can defend yourself if you really want to...'
'Tobi wont do anything to hurt his sempai, Madara-san!'
'Then let me take over; I'm sick of the way he treats us.'
"No!" Tobi screamed out loud.
Deidara turned to stare at Tobi, as did people who witnessed his unprovoked outburst. "What's wrong with you, un?"
"T-tobi just got... scared, sempai."
"Well, dont get scared again! You scared me, too!"
Tobi flinched when he looked into Deidara's icy blue eye. Staring down at the ground, he followed behind Deidara warily after the seventeen year old let go of Tobi's hair.
Deidara was lost in his own thoughts. 'Why doesnt he understand how hard it is to look after him?! I'm trying my best, I really am! I dont want him to know that I care about him now; if he knows, he'll always be around me, and I dont want that. I dont want to hurt him, like everyone else whose been in my life. He doesnt deserve it! The way he's treated! It's not fair! But then, you treat him just as bad as everyone else... I know I do. I just... before, I hated him, but now? Well, he's grown on me, I guess. I dont want to see him in more pain anymore. I want to help him.'
