Deidara had come to realise that he wasn’t the only person that Tobi could not remember very well.
Tobi could barely remember his own cousins. This was discovered a month later when Deidara had asked Tobi what the boy wanted to get Itachi for his birthday and the young Uchiha had admitted that he couldn’t remember them enough to know what Itachi liked.
“You don’t remember your own cousins, Tobi? …Un.” Deidara asked.
Tobi shook his head, looking down at the ground. “…Does that make Tobi a bad boy…?”
“No, of course! I was just… startled…” Deidara sighed before smiling. “Itachi loves sweets, Tobi. Would you like to get him some dango or something else that’s sweet?”
Tobi shook his head again. “Tobi wants to get Itachi-kun something cool!”
Deidara chuckled softly at Tobi’s exuberance. “What if we go and look at different shops? …Un.”
Tobi nodded happily. “Hai, hai!”
“Alright. I’ll go and tell Itachi that we’re going, okay?”
Tobi smiled and turned back to the television, anxious for when Deidara would return. He wanted to get out of the house for once! Not that he didn’t like it inside, but it was so boring – he couldn’t do anything.”
Deidara had left the room for just a few minutes before he returned with a smile on his face. “Itachi says that Kisame is picking up a wheelchair for you and he’ll be bringing it around at lunch. Let’s go then, okay? …Un.”
Tobi smiled back. “Okay, Senpai.”
-XX-
Only two hours had passed before Kisame had arrived at the house with a wheelchair in tow. Itachi was still sleeping and Sasuke was preparing lunch, so it was Deidara who had greeted the Hoshigaki and helped get the wheelchair out of the car.
“Itachi is sleeping.” Deidara explained once the wheelchair was tucked safely in a corner of the living room. “I’m going to take Tobi into town and help him pick a present. I’ll see you later. …Un.”
Kisame nodded. “Later, kid.”
Deidara was quick to set the wheelchair back up. Tobi’s face brightened instantly as Deidara brought the wheelchair to the couch. The young Uchiha reached out in a weak attempt, and with a shaking, heavy arm, rested his hand on the chair.
“Tobi wants to go into his new chair now and see the world again.” Tobi whispered.
Deidara smiled and nodded. This would be the first time that the boy had left the house since the accident and not have to go back to the hospital.
“Let’s get you seated, Tobi, hmm?” Deidara knelt beside Tobi and picked the boy up carefully. It was easier than expected to seat the boy in the chair. “Let’s walk today, Tobi, yeah.”
“Yeah!”
Tobi twisted his head to look up at Deidara and smile. He was just so glad that his senpai was spending time with him. The boy could remember enough about Deidara to know that previous to the accident, Deidara had only ever treated him as vermin.
Deidara smiled back at Tobi and leant down to stroke the boy’s cheek. He wheeled the chair out of the front door and took the porch steps one at a time before they finally got on their way into town.
--LINEBREAK—
“Tobi likes being outside, Dei-senpai!” Tobi squealed happily an hour later as he looked all around him so that he could take in the sights.
“I’m sure that it beats being inside all day every day, Tobi, hmm.” Deidara smirked at the younger boy. “If I were you, I’d have gone insane a long time ago. …Un.”
“But Itachi-kun says that Tobi is very strong, Senpai, so that must be why Tobi survived!”
Deidara laughed at Tobi before leaning down to pet the boy’s shoulder. Minutes had passed as they entered K-Mart. Deidara soon stopped, having caught sight of someone familiar
“Hey!” Deidara called, wheeling Tobi towards two other males – both looking older than Tobi. “Hey, Kakuzu, Hidan!”
The two boys had turned at their names before looking at Deidara and grinning.
“Hey!” They greeted. “Long time, no see!”
“I haven’t seen you two since I quit school!” Deidara exclaimed. “How have you been?!”
“Fucking great, right?!” The silver-haired male grinned. “Kuzu and me got together not long after you left!”
“That’s Kuzu and I, Hidan.” The older looking one with brown hair smirked.
Deidara laughed while Tobi observed the newcomers. So Hidan was the silver-haired male and Kakuzu was the older, rougher looking one. Either way, they both made Tobi nervous.
As if he could read Tobi’s mind, Hidan looked at Tobi. “Who’s your fucking crippled friend, Dei?”
Tobi flinched and whimpered, but Deidara laughed. “This is Tobi. Tobi, this is Hidan and Kakuzu. Say hi, Tobi. …Un.”
“H-hi…” Tobi whispered, looking anywhere but at the two males.
“Yeah, anyway – what’s news, hmm?” Deidara was oblivious to Tobi’s nervousness.
“Pein and Konan are getting married next month.” Kakuzu said. “They asked us to invite you to the wedding if he had caught up with you again before it.”
“Ah! I heard that they were engaged. Sure, I’ll be there. …Un.”
“Senpai…” Tobi whispered, trying to catch Deidara’s attention – he didn’t feel right around Hidan and Kakuzu – they made him feel frightened.
“Hold on, Tobi, yeah.” Deidara said gently, focusing on the piece of paper that Kakuzu was writing on. “Thanks, guys.”
“No problem, Dei. Say hi to Itachi for us. We’ve got to go. Good to see you again, Deidara.”
“Yeah, fucking awesome! We’ve gotta catch up again soon, right, bitch?!”
Deidara laughed again, completely disregarding what Hidan had called him – he knew that Hidan didn’t mean it. “Of course. I’ll ring you guys later. …Un.”
“See you, Dei.”
“Bye, guys.”
“Senpai…” Tobi whispered again, visibly trembling by now. “Tobi doesn’t like Senpai’s friends…”
Deidara chuckled. “Tobi, they wouldn’t hurt you – I promise. Hidan might try and get in an argument, but that’s all – he’s all bark and no bite. Worst he’ll do is swear at you in foreign languages, yeah.”
“…”
“Just calm down, Tobi, okay? Come on – let’s go and find something for Itachi now, hmm?”
Tobi nodded. “…Can Tobi go bathroom, first?”
“The toilers ate all the way on the other side of the building, Tobi… Let’s just have a quick look and then we’ll go to them and get some lunch last, yeah?”
Tobi nodded, smiling at Deidara. “Okay, Senpai.”
“Good boy, Tobi.”
--LINEBREAK—
After having decided on a necklace with three metal rings on it for Itachi, Deidara had taken Tobi to the toilets and then over to the food court. He had sat the boy down at a table while having gone to order McDonald’s for them both. As he walked back to the table with two bags, he noticed someone sitting at the table, talking to Tobi.
Deidara hurried back with the food, worried that it could be someone looking to hurt Tobi. He had arrived just as the stranger ran a hand across Tobi’s cheek.
“Hey!” Deidara exclaimed, coming to Tobi’s side. “Who the fuck are you, yeah?!”
The stranger smirked. “It’s okay – I know Tobi-kun. I used to work with Itachi-kun.”
Deidara frowned, taking in this man’s appearance. He looked to be about Itachi’s age, and he had ruffled, green hair. He looked extremely pale as if he didn’t have enough blood. All-in-all, he looked to be one very strange-looking individual.
“What’s your name?” Deidara asked with his voice laced in suspicion.
“Zetsu.” The man chuckled.
“Tobi, do you know him, hmm?”
Tobi shook his head. “Nope, but Zetsu-san says that he used to visit Tobi and Itachi-kun and Sasuke-kun all the time and give Tobi lollipops!”
Deidara shook his head. “Look, I don’t know what you’re playing, but I’ll be asking Itachi about you as soon as I get home…”
“Oh, I would rather you not mention me.” Zetsu said, faint traces of mocking in his voice. “You see, Itachi and I don’t get along very well anymore. We had a fight a while ago because I blamed Itachi for getting me fired. He asked me not to go near his family anymore. You wouldn’t want to get Itachi more worried, would you? I hear that he’s very ill at the moment… Doesn’t need more stress.”
Deidara sighed. He didn’t want to cause Itachi more stress, true – Itachi had been diagnosed as severely depressed, but the stubborn male refused medication. Because of the stress, he had been very weak, getting ill constantly.
But what if Zetsu was lying and Itachi didn’t like him for a different reason than the one stated? It was so hard to know what the right thing to do was.
“Look, I won’t tell Itachi, but if he doesn’t want you near his family, than please, don’t come near Tobi while I’m around, because I will tell Itachi if you keep coming near him.”
Zetsu chuckled. “Whatever. I have to go now, anyway.” He turned to Tobi, smiling, and leant down to kiss Tobi’s cheek. “I’ll see you later, Tobi-kun.”
Deidara glared at Zetsu’s retreating back. “Did he hurt you, Tobi?”
Tobi shook his head, looking longingly at the bags of food. “Nope. Zetsu-san was just talking to Tobi.”
Deidara nodded. Maybe he should tell Itachi? He had no idea what had happened between the two and, for all he knew, Tobi could have been in danger.
“Let’s eat this quickly and then we’ll go home, okay, hmm?” Deidara turned Tobi to face him and carefully fed the boy, his mind on that man.
