“Sasuke…” Deidara poked his head into Sasuke’s room, finding the younger male lying on his bed watching TV. “Can you please get Tobi ready for his therapy appointment?”
“Hn.” Sasuke grabbed the remote and turned the TV off before leaving the room to head to Tobi’s.
Itachi, though it was almost four in the afternoon, hadn’t stepped foot out of his room at all. Deidara decided that he would be the one to take Tobi to his appointment and give the older male time to rest.
Deidara grabbed his car keys and everything else that he would need as he waited patiently for Sasuke and Tobi. He watched the television for about twenty minutes before Sasuke came back into the room, carrying his cousin in his arms. Tobi was only a very small boy for his age – about the same size as a ten-year-old – which made carrying him fairly easy.
Sasuke nodded at Deidara as they walked out to the car. Once Tobi was placed into the backseat of the car and Deidara had started the car up, their trip to the hospital had begun.
The drive was rather quiet. Tobi was asleep in the back while both Deidara and Sasuke weren’t much in the mood for talking.
They arrived after what would have been half-an-hour. Deidara parked the car not far from the entranceway. Sasuke set up the wheelchair and retrieved his cousin from the car, and then they were on their way into the hospital.
Sasuke led the way to the physical therapist’s office. After having waited for only a few minutes, they soon found themselves in the company of Tobi’s therapist, a woman named Shizune.
“Hello, Tobi.” Shizune smiled at the boy, holding the door to her office open for the three. “How are you all today? I don’t believe that I’ve met you before.”
“I’m Deidara.” Deidara explained. “I’m just helping out with Tobi while Itachi… rests for a while. …Un.”
“I see. Well, Deidara, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Shizune, and I’ve been working with Tobi since he was released from the hospital. He’s told me all about you, haven’t you, sweetness?”
“Yup!” Tobi seemed to have no fear around this lady.
Deidara was glad that the boy was working with someone whom he could feel comfortable around. He had been working with a lot of counsellors and psychologists in his life, but most of them hadn’t cared about him at all – they just wanted the money.
Tobi was lucky to have found someone good straight off the bat.
“Oh, Tobi,” Deidara frowned, realising that he had left his phone in the car. “I’ve just got to duck out to my car and get my phone, okay? I’ll be right back, but Sasuke will stay here with you. …Un.”
“Okay, Senpai.” Tobi smiled, watching as Deidara hurried out of the room.
As Deidara hurried back to the front of the hospital, a familiar-looking person walking slowly ahead of him had caught his eye. It must have been the green hair that attracted his attention…
“Hey, Zetsu!” Deidara bit his lip, hoping that it was in fact Zetsu – but then again, how many other people got around town with hair as green as the grass in a meadow…?
The man – Zetsu – turned at the call. Deidara gasped at the sight of him. He had bruises and cuts all over his face and his arm was clearly broken as it sat in a cast supported by a sling. Something had to have happened since the last time Deidara had seen him – Zetsu looked very healthy then.
Zetsu flinched at the blonde’s stare.
“What…?” Zetsu whispered. His voice quivered in what must have been nervousness.
“…What happened to you, Zetsu…?”
“None of your business!” Zetsu snapped, tears welling up in his wide yellow eyes. “Even if it were your business, why should you care?!”
“Hey, Zetsu… Calm down… I just –“
“I – I’m sorry!” Zetsu choked, tears spilling down his cheeks. “I have to go! He’ll be here soon to pick me up and I can’t be late!”
With that said, Zetsu had run from the hospital without even a backwards glance at Deidara.
Deidara tilted his head, shocked. That couldn’t have been the same cocky man from the mall, could it?
“Kami…” Deidara shook his head, walking out of the doors that were only feet away from the blonde. “That guy only piques my curiosity…”
Deidara walked out of the automatic doors. The first thing that he saw was Zetsu sitting on the curb of the road, looking as if he were crying into his hands, judging by the rapid rising and falling of his shoulders.
Deidara ignored the man and headed to his car, but Zetsu was still there by the time he had come back to the doors fifteen minutes later. Deidara stopped and looked at the green-haired male, feeling sorry for him.
Deidara decided to go and talk to the man but, as soon as he had taken two steps towards Zetsu, a black SUV had pulled up in front of the green-haired man. He watched as Zetsu got into the car. He couldn’t make out the driver properly, but he could see that the driver had long black hair. The blonde could see enough to know that the driver had just punched Zetsu in the throat before driving the car off.
Deidara gasped. What the hell?! Surely Itachi couldn’t have been scared of this man?! This didn’t seem like someone to be afraid of! But then again… Deidara knew nothing of what went down between Zetsu and him…
Walking back into the hospital, Deidara took his time in returning to Tobi and Sasuke. He knew that it didn't matter how long he took because Sasuke would tend to Tobi’s every need without hesitation. Deidara smiled at this thought – Itachi and Sasuke were such good, loving and supportive cousins. They took care of everything that Tobi needed and were even willing to spend less time with their boyfriends to make sure that Tobi was attended to.
Deidara wished that he had someone who loved him that mu – oh, what he did – Tobi.
“That kid will be the death of me.” Deidara laughed, pushing open the door to the therapist’s office.
Deidara found Tobi lying on his side, propped up by leaning on his arm and reaching for a ball that was only a few inches away from his outstretched hand. He laughed at the expression on Tobi’s face – slight annoyance mixed with determination. Tobi’s eyebrow was raised and his tongue was sticking out of the side of his mouth as his body shook from the stress, but he wasn’t about to give up.
Shizune held Tobi carefully, making sure that the boy wasn’t going to fall over.
“What’s this for?” Deidara asked Sasuke, sitting on the examination bed beside the younger.
“She’s starting with an exercise to get Tobi ready for sitting up by himself.” Sasuke explained, watching his cousin anxiously – he seemed to be worried about Tobi overdoing it and hurting himself.
“Senpai!” Tobi called out, glancing up at the blonde. “Miss Shizune says that if Tobi can reach the ball, he can keep it! Tobi really wants that ball, Senpai!”
Deidara laughed. “Then keep trying, Tobi. I’m sure you’ll get it. …Un.”
Tobi grinned, encouraged greatly by Deidara’s support, and reached for the ball once again with renewed vigour.

After an hour of watching Tobi go through crazy exercises and the life, Deidara was finally loading said boy back into the car and driving them home.
“The guys are coming over and should be there by the time we get back, yeah.” Deidara explained, tucking his phone back into his pocket after checking the text that he had just received.
“Hn.” Sasuke nodded at Deidara, indicating that he had heard the blonde.
“Do you remember them, Sasuke?”
“…A little. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen them, though. I know that Itachi remembers them.”
“Think he’ll be glad to see them again, yeah?”
Sasuke nodded. “Of course he would. It’ll get him out of bed for once.”
Deidara nodded too before looking in the rear view mirror at Tobi. “Tobi, my friends you met at the shop and two of my other friends that you haven’t met before are coming over. Do you mind?”
Tobi frowned, looking down at his lap. “…Tobi… is scared…”
“Scared of my friends? Tobi, I promise that they won’t do anything to hurt you. Will it make you feel better if you stayed in your room while they’re here? …Un.”
Tobi nodded. “Yes, Senpai…”
   Deidara shook his head. He hated how Tobi was so nervous around new people. His thoughts were on Tobi for a while before they focused more and more on the green-haired man, Zetsu. He was so curious about him and wanted to know everything that he could about him.
Deidara was especially curious as to why Itachi disliked Zetsu so much and who was in the car with the other male.

Hidan, Kakuzu, Pein and Konan were seated in the living room of Itachi’s home, waiting impatiently for Deidara to bring said Uchiha out to see them. None of them had seen Deidara for a year, and Itachi for three years.
Hidan was the one most excited about seeing Itachi again and was literally bouncing around in his seat in barely contained excitement. Kakuzu was rolling his eyes at the white-haired male’s behaviour while Pein and Konan laughed.
“He’s been like this ever since we met up with Dei a few days ago down the street.” Kakuzu explained as he hit Hidan on the head with his fist. “Someone would think that he’ll never get to see you all again.”
Pein chuckled and Konan smiled, getting up off her seat and moving to Hidan, hugging the younger male.
Out of them all, Pein was the eldest at twenty-three while Deidara was the youngest at nineteen. Kakuzu was twenty-three as well, but only four months younger than Pein. Konan was twenty-two, and Hidan would be turning twenty in a month.
They had all met the same way – Pein had started a gang called the Akatsuki while he and Konan were still at school. Konan had literally dragged Itachi to Pein after she found the Uchiha waiting outside the school counsellor’s office in obvious distress and asked the ginger if Itachi could join. Pein had agreed and pulled his best friend, Kakuzu, in as well. When Kakuzu had asked for his boyfriend, Hidan, to join, the younger male was made a member instantly.
Deidara had been in Hidan’s year level until he was held down, but they were still close. When Deidara had shown up at an Akatsuki meeting with Hidan, Konan quickly took a liking to the youngest and told him that he could join without even asking Pein.
The small group had become as close as could be, and it was great to be back together right now.
Deidara finally arrived with Itachi following behind slowly. The Uchiha looked unkempt but happy to see everyone again. Konan squealed at the sight of Itachi, running to his side and hugging him tightly.   Pein was grinning widely and stood up to greet the Uchiha more formally than his wife had. Hidan was trying to force his way into the hug while Kakuzu stayed where he was, saying a polite hello.
Deidara sat back, smiling at the sight – Itachi hadn’t looked so happy for months. The Uchiha’s eyes were sparkling and he was genuinely smiling – more than he had done since Tobi’s accident. He decided that he would let the others have their fun for a while and that he would go and check on Tobi. As he stood to head to the young Uchiha’s room, a thought suddenly popped into his mind – did Sasuke know anything about Zetsu?
“I’ll just go and have a quick talk to Sasuke.” Deidara nodded to himself, heading to Sasuke’s room.
