Everyone stared blankly at Deidara and Zetsu as they barged back into the hideout, yelling at everyone to move out of the way as they ran to Zetsu's room. All they could see was Zetsu carrying something bundled up in his robe and then it struck the Akatsuki. Did they find Tobi?
They all ran to Zetsu's room, putting their ears against the door. Inside they could hear Deidara and Zetsu murmuring about what was in the robes and then Pein knocked on the door and entered, the rest of the members falling in behind him.
"I see you two finally found him," Pein said, smiling at his two underlings. "How's he doing?"
"He's in really bad shape, Pein-sama. We cant have him crowded; it's not good for him. Could the rest of you please leave the room?"
Pein cleared everyone out, closing the door behind them and coming to the bed. He looked at the blank expression on Tobi's face and waved his hand in front of Tobi' eye. Tobi didnt register to anything in front of him.
"I had to drug him, Pein-sama." Zetsu said, pushing Pein away gently and standing in his place so he could inject more fluid into the boy's body.
Deidara was on the other side of the Tobi, cleaning off all the grime and blood that had been sticking to him since his rescue. Pein could see that Deidara was close to tears with Tobi in this state.
"Deidara-san," Pein said softly, walking to him, "Tobi'll be fine, so dont cry. He's got Zetsu looking after him; the boy'll have the best care here. You know that."
Deidara nodded, wiping tears away. "I know, un. It's just..."
Pein silenced Deidara, smiling at him. The self-proclaimed god knew that if the short blond said anything else that he would end up crying, and as much as he denied it, he cared deeply for all of his underlings. He had a very special soft spot for Deidara especially, rivalled only by his soft spot for Zetsu.
Tobi, being the host to Madara, often conflicted with Pein's caring nature. While Tobi had no idea that Pein and Madara knew each other, Pein was often forced to act coldly towards Tobi and even threaten his life in front of him to enforce Tobi's way of thinking and acting.
Zetsu, only knowing a little bit of the things that Pein was forced to hide around Tobi, did in fact believe that Pein would kill Tobi. Pein, no matter how much it hurt, was unable to tell Zetsu that while the young boy was host to Madara, he would never try and kill Tobi.
Just thinking about this made Pein feel the need to protect both Deidara and Tobi. He knew that Zetsu could take care of himself, but even so still knew how much this affected him. Pein came next to Deidara, pulling him into a soothing hug while Zetsu focused on Tobi, too occupied to notice.
Deidara hugged back tightly, crying onto Pein's shoulder. Zetsu finally looked up, seeing the two of them hugging. Although he didnt trust many people to be near him apart from Tobi, he knew that Deidara was in need of condolence, and Pein, while punishing Zetsu severely on the rare occasion he did stuff up, was caring and wouldnt harm him intentionally.
He slowly made his way over to the two, staring into Pein's eyes, waiting to be accepted. Pein smiled, pulling one arm off of Deidara and motioning for the plant to make his way into it. Zetsu did tense up at first but calmed down, loving the soothing and safe aura that Pein was giving.
While the plant-man was in the arms of his leader, it gave him time to think and to calm down. For the short time that Pein held his two favorite underlings in his arms it was enough time for Zetsu to clear his mind and think properly. After Pein had released them both, he smiled at his leader warily, making his way over to his cupboard full of his medicines and mixtures, picking out a fresh vial and placing it on the desk.
"Could you stay here and keep an eye on Tobi, Deidara-san?" Zetsu asked politely.
"Sure, un. Where will you be?"
"The garden to pick some medicinal herbs and make a special medicine for Tobi."
Deidara nodded, pulling a chair up next to the bed while Pein left the room with Zetsu. Tobi was barely conscious, but Zetsu had said it was the only way that Zetsu would have him drugged. Deidara wiped the cold sweat off of Tobi's forehead, brushing back his raven bangs.
"It'll be Ok, un. I promise." Deidara whispered to the semi-conscious boy before him.
***
Once Zetsu had picked the right plants he required he made his way back to his room to find Deidara leaning on the bed asleep. Zetsu smiled, gently lifting him off the chair and carrying him back to his room. He knocked on the door and Sasori answered it, allowing the cannibal to carry his partner in and place him in his bed.
Making his way back to his own room he found that Tobi was waking up. The boy was whimpering, fidgetting a little and it wasnt good for his broken limbs.
"Tobi," Zetsu said, sitting on the chair and pulling Tobi's hand into his own, "do you recognise us?"
"Ooh..." Tobi moaned, not quite meeting eye contact with Zetsu.
"No, he doesnt..." Zetsu said sadly. "I told you the side effects were too risky to use on him! It was either this one or the other one and no way in hell was I putting him in a coma!"
Zetsu, arguing over the sedatives he could have used on him, was startled when Tobi screamed out. The boy was screaming louder and louder, curling into a ball and crying. Zetsu wasnt going to sedate Tobi once again so he climbed onto the bed, towering over Tobi, extremely careful about how he grabbed Tobi to pry him out of the ball.
"It's us, Tobi! Calm down! Tobi, it's going to be Ok!"
Nothing Zetsu said seemed to have any effect on the young, tramautized boy and the fact drove Zetsu into near madness. He pulled the semi-mutilated body into his arms, rocking back and forth to calm him down. When that didnt work and it only startled Tobi more, he knew the only way to calm Tobi down would be to sound proof his room and allow Tobi to scream until he came back to reality.
He performed the necessary handseals to perform the jutsu and held Tobi close to his chest, sobbing silently into the messy raven hair below him.
What had seemed like hours to Zetsu were in fact mere minutes before Tobi had grown hoarse and couldnt scream any more. This brought some relief to Zetsu for a number of reasons, but mainly because it meant that if Tobi couldnt scream himself into more of a frenzy than he should be able to calm down soon enough.
Zetsu let his grip loosen on the boy, laying him down on the bed and watching as Tobi began to cry again. He gently ran his hand across Tobi's forehead, wiping the sweat away from it like Deidara had and observing Tobi's young face. The young boy's eye was flicking back and forth rapidly, terrified and unable to recognise Zetsu. He felt the plant laying down beside him, flinching when he was pulled into a gentle hug and then relaxing.
Tobi groaned a little as his head began clearing and he could recognise his Sensei. Tobi painfully turned to his side to nuzzle into Zetsu's chest and Zetsu sighed in relief when he did. He pulled Tobi back into a tight hold, kissing into the boy's hair gently and listening as Tobi's snores filled the room.
"We should have brought you with us..." Zetsu whispered, holding Tobi as he closed his eyes and followed Tobi into a slumber.
***
It was only after Tobi had woken back up again that he realised he was starving. Zetsu had gone to make Tobi his lunch and while he was gone Tobi was trying not to think about what had happened with ANBU. He knew it was solely thanks to Madara that Tobi was still alive and Akatsuki was safe and sound.
We'll break him one way or another Tobi scrunched his eyes shut, hearing the voices as clear as crystal. I'm still interested in this boy. He acts like there's two sides of him.
"Tobi, we have your lunch right here. Eat up." Zetsu had returned.
Do not feed him until he tells us more about the Akatsuki "T-thanks..."
This jutsu will make you relive your worst memories as if they were happening again. If you dont tell us more we'll use it. One... two... three... "What's wrong, Tobi? You're trembling."
Ahaha! Look at him thrash! I wonder what he's remembering. Looks interesting. Maybe one of the Akatsuki uses him for sexual pleasure? "I-is Tobi... t-trembling, Zetsu-kun?"
Ibiki, can I try my newest fire jutsu out on him? Please? I really really want to! "Tobi, what is wrong? You're crying!"
Ouch, that wouldnt have tickled. That fire jutsu reaches levels of heat higher than most normal fire jutsus right? That explains why he's screaming sounds so agonized more than it normally would. "T-tobi... Tobi remembers!"
Please, Zetsu-kun, save Tobi... Zetsu put the plate of food down on the bedside table, wiping Tobi's tears away and listening to Tobi cry his little heart out.
***
"Hey, Tobi, un," Deidara smiled weakly at Tobi as he entered the room.
"W-where's Zetsu-kun?" Tobi whispered.
"He's out getting some lunch somewhere; he's been starving for the last couple of weeks trying to take care of you, yeah. How are you feeling today, un?"
"It still hurts so bad, Sempai." Tobi tried to move his plastered arm to emphasise.
"No, un, dont move!" Deidara ran to Tobi's side to hold his arm down. "You know what Zetsu-san told you! You're not allowed to move unless he asks you to in case you disturb the bones' healing process, yeah!"
"Oh, right, Sempai..."
This had been going on for four months now. Zetsu would lock himself away in his room to be with Tobi until he got so starved he would almost dare to try and eat Tobi. When this happened he would seek out Deidara to take care of Tobi for him while he went off to find someone to eat. During these days of prolonged absences Deidara would stay with Tobi and handfeed him and make sure his bandages were changed and that the healing process was going fine.
Zetsu had even taught Deidara the soundproofing Jutsu for nighttime when Tobi would scream out in his nightmares so he wouldnt wake the other members. Deidara would go back to his own room but set his alarm for several times each night to go back and check on Tobi.
Now it was happening again and Tobi was upset. It wasnt that he didnt want to be with his Sempai, it was just that it was hard for Tobi to look at him and not think about what Oro did to them during the Chuunin exams. Having relived that day once again thanks to ANBU, Tobi realised just how horrible it truley was.
"Tobi, un, you're quieter than you have been, hmm?" Deidara said, turning back to Tobi from where he had been mixing Tobi some more medicine (following instructions left by Zetsu, of course).
"Just thinking, Sempai."
"Tobi, you never think, yeah." Deidara smiled at Tobi and Tobi giggled a little. With the finishing touch on the medicine he brought it over to Tobi. "Okay, Tobi, drink up."
Deidara lifted Tobi's mask up just enough to reveal his mouth and put the vial to it. Tobi reluctantly opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine, coughing at the bitterness of it.
"Tobi doesnt like that." Tobi said weakly. "It tastes horrible!"
"I know, un. It'll help you get better, yeah, so you have to drink it."
***
Listening to Tobi's snores was hypnotising to Deidara and falling asleep on the bed beside Tobi was not a good move. When Tobi woke back up a few hours later from his nightmares, he saw Deidara sleeping beside him. Deidara had not been so close to him since the Chuunin exams and knowing this made Tobi's breathing quicken.
With quickened breathing rates came hyperventilating and since Deidara was fast asleep he didnt realise Tobi was even awake. It was only when Tobi's face was turning blue from lack of breath and he was lightheaded that Deidara woke up. Tobi would say it was because his sempai loved him. Deidara would say it was because Tobi's cast on his arm thumped him in the head. Either way, Deidara pulled out the case of syringes that Zetsu kept hidden in the drawer of his bedside table for Tobi and injected one into him.
The sedatives were specially made by Zetsu and designed for when Tobi's breathing became erratic after nightmares or being frightened by something. They relaxed Tobi down and slowed his heart rate as well as slowing his breathing. Tobi calmed down from the sedative and closed his eye.
"Sempai..." Tobi whispered. "Tobi loves his Sempai..."
Deidara pulled the covers back over Tobi. "I think I love you, as well, Tobi."
