"So, Deidara," Itachi begun as he poured two glasses of wine, "how's school going? Anything you need help with?"
Deidara shrugged. "Nah. I do fine. …Un."
Tobi was laying on the floor in front of the fire with Sasuke helping him with his homework. Secretly, he was trying to decide how he could get Deidara's attention.
"Umm, Sen -- Deidara..." Tobi mumbled, starting at the wall behind Deidara. "... Tobi didn’t get the notes in maths today... Can Senpai -- uhh, Tobi means Dei -- help Tobi?"
Deidara sneered. "Fuck no, Tobi. Isn’t Sasuke there to help you?"
Tobi's eye watered and he looked at the ground. "But Sasuke-kun wants to see his boyfriend... Tobi doesn’t want to keep him here…"
"Why the fuck do you always need help?" Growled Deidara. "You've made it this far into school without repeating -- you must be fucking smart! You always get good grades so don’t ask for my help again, you selfish little shit."
Tobi gasped, tears falling again. Itachi had been staring at the wine bottle with a frown throughout the one-sided fight, but now he knew that this was the time to step in.
"Stop it, Deidara." Itachi said quietly. "He does need help -- he only gets good grades because we help him every night. If we didn’t, he would have failed many times. Repeating a grade is nothing to be ashamed of, Dei."
Itachi knew that Deidara was angry because he had been forced to repeat a year when he should have passed, and the fact that Tobi -- someone who struggled with taking care of himself -- was able to get better grades than he. Tobi asking for his help was an insult to him.
"Tobi is very sorry, Senpai..." Tobi whispered, getting up to leave the room. "Tobi won’t bother Senpai again."
"Where are you going, Tobi?" Sasuke asked.
"Tobi is going for a walk." The young Uchiha hadn’t even turned to face anyone as he spoke.
"Be back in time for dinner, okay?"
Tobi nodded, opening the front door and stepping out. Itachi sighed, putting the bottle on the bench.
"Deidara," he began seriously, "I'll have to ask you to stop treating Tobi like this. If it doesn’t improve I'll be forced to take things into my own hand -- Tobi is my responsibility and I don’t want him to be mistreated."
Deidara sighed. "Itachi, I know you love Tobi, but -"
The screech of tyres and a truck horn blaring had gotten the two Uchihas’ and Deidara's attention while a familiar scream had them all out of the house.
"TOBI!" Itachi screamed, running to the truck that was stopped in the middle of the road.
"I'm so sorry!" The truck driver exclaimed, getting out of the cabin and running to the back of the truck. "He just walked right out in front of me -- I didn’t see him!"
Sure enough, there was Tobi. He was lying on the ground, blood pooling around the broken body, the poor boy's limbs shattered and mangled.
Itachi screamed, holding his mouth as he forced himself not to throw up.
"Sasuke!" Itachi screamed, squeezing his eyes shut tightly as he willed himself to keep his tears at bay. "Sasuke, call an ambulance!"
Itachi knelt beside Tobi, resting his hands on the mangled body, desperately wishing that he would wake up and find that it was all a dream. He heard another pair of footsteps running to the scene before a mop of blond hair caught his eye as the owner of it knelt beside him.
Tears ran down Deidara's face as the younger male rested a hand on Tobi's rapidly cooling cheek.
"What have I done...?" Deidara whispered.
-LINEBREAK-
Itachi and Sasuke had waited at the hospital for three days now but no one would let them in to see Tobi. All they knew for certain was that it was a ninety-percent chance for Tobi to pass away from his injuries.
Deidara had gone to the hospital with them when the ambulance arrived, but the feeling of guilt was too great for even Deidara to bear. He had gone home and hadn’t been able to bring himself to face Itachi or Sasuke, knowing that he was the only reason that Tobi had even left the house in the first place.
Itachi knew that Deidara had gone to school the next day only to see the counsellor about what had happened. When Deidara rang him after he had left the school, the poor boy was in hysterics. All he would do was apologise over and over again.
Itachi had to admit -- if it weren’t for Deidara, Tobi would still be at home, being his usual dopey self.
Currently, Sasuke had been too upset to stay for much longer and had gone to Naruto’s. For once, Itachi hadn’t told Sasuke to stay out of trouble -- Sasuke losing his virginity was the least of his worries right now.
Itachi sat in the waiting room crying silently, desperate for someone to come out and tell him that Tobi would be just fine and it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen in this lifetime. Instead, he was greeted by an exhausted looking surgeon.
"How is he?" Itachi whispered. He looked away, knowing that it couldn’t be good news by the surgeon's expression.
"He's..." The surgeon searched for the right words to say. "He's suffering a great deal... we've placed him into a drug-induced coma to try and relieve the pain and placed him in the ICU. He's hooked up to life support but... if he survives... Look, what I'm trying to say is this -- we need your permission to... to pull the plug."
Itachi's face twisted in horror. He punched the surgeon, snarling. "Don’t you dare ask me to kill my little cousin. If you even glance at the plug, I will rip your insides out and feed them to the carrions!"
The surgeon rubbed his swelling face. "Sir, please calm down -"
"Don’t you tell me to calm down!" Itachi shouted. "If I wanted him to die I wouldn’t have bothered to call an ambulance or come here every day just to hear if he would survive!"
"That's great and all, but you must understand that he's in agony! The truck hit him dead centre and went straight over him! His body is pretty much crushed and useless!"
Itachi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "If he can pull through this on his own I'll do everything for him when he wakes up, even if I have to carry him to the bathroom every time. Don’t pull the plug."
"That's pretty unfair to the boy, sir... You're not the one who is suffering nor will you be the one unable to do anything for yourself... if you ever wake up, that is..."
