Aww thank you so much!! I’m still working on posting the rest of chasing the rapture so that’s still in the works.

Meet my new otp.. tobiko and mr. Daraday 😔💛💜

[jinxofthecipher]

Headcanon/Scene, Part 1: 

When Deidara was first told that Tobi was to be his new official partner, he was, of course, appalled. They wanted him to be paired with such an artless weakling?? It was ludacrious! If anyone else had dared suggest such a thing . . . well they’d be missing a few limbs and knowing what true art was; but it came from Pain-sama himself and he was rather hard to say ‘no’ too. 

So the blonde accepted, although it came with a good deal of grumbling that were all ignored. Course the complaining didn’t stop there, it followed Deidara all the way to his meeting with Kakuzu who was to stitch the artist’s arms back on.

“I don’t get it,” he huffed as Kakuzu picked up an arm and positioned it below Deidara’s stump of an elbow, “why is he even in the organization!? He’s useless and annoying as hell, hm.”

The older shinobi sighed, some of his tendrils slithering out and Deidara didn’t wince as it stabbed through his skin, reattatching one pull at a time. “Not as annoying as Hidan.”

“Hey!! You fucker! I’m literally in the next room over!!”

“Just stating facts, you egotistical brat.”

Rolling his eyes, Deidara continued, “yeah, Hidan’s annoying “fuck you blondie!!” but at least he’s competent. Tobi’s not.”

Left arm thoroughly stitched, Kakuzu gave a firm squeeze around the stitches, making sure it was completely attatched. Pleased, he went to work on the next. “Pain-sama wouldn’t make a mistake. He picked Tobi for a reason we’re not aware of yet, and may never know. It was inevitable either way, given Tobi has been hanging around since before I joined.”

“See! You said it yourself Kakuzu! ‘He doesn’t make mistakes!’ So-”

“You were picked by chance, Hidan. Everyone else was carefully chosen. Now: Shut. Up. Or I’ll kill you.”

A loud groan follows his threat, “yeah, yeah, whatever, old man.” Deidara raises an eyebrow at the fond tone.

“And if he gets too annoying, Deidara, then you can always kill him,” the older shinobi adds as the arm is sewn back on just as efficiently as the last.

That has the artist snorting, shaking his head with a grin, “already ahead of you on that. Gotta test his abilities some way or another and if he can’t survive that . . . well, I’ll be needing a new partner again.” He looks down at his newly attatched arms, wiggling the fingers. The mouths on his palms open. On command one smiles and the other’s tongue pokes out to lick at the lips, “Nice work, Kakuzu. They’re good as new!”

Kakuzu hums, “Just don’t go too crazy right out the gate. They’re too new. You might end up ripping 'em off and if either gets too ruined it’ll take much longer.”

“Yeah, ‘be careful, don’t go nuts,’ got it.” He hops off the table, “I’ll be careful. Good luck with the partner . . .” He eyes the open doorway were he can hear the jashinist grumbling, “Give up on killing him yet?”

Kakuzu shrugs, “I’ll keep him.”

“HA! Knew you liked me, Kuzu!!”

The older shinobi only sighs and Deidara can’t help the smile he gets as he leaves. Those two somehow found even ground but his partner? Nah. No way.

He’s sure that Tobi isn’t all that strong, even if Pain-sama seeminly doesn’t make mistakes. And apparently Tobi’s been around the organization for a long time now (Deidara knew well enough that Kakuzu had been picked very early on so for Tobi to have been there before him . . . something to note, that’s for sure) however he hadn’t ever been chosen. Pain-sama had come and chosen Deidara well before accepting Tobi officially in. That spoke louder then anything. 

Tobi had been a last resort. But why? If the Akatsuki only accepted S-rank shinobi, why wait so long to recruit Tobi if he apparently was s-ranked? It just didn’t add up. 

Course, then they trained and Deidara was even more confused. He had hit the idiot with everything he had (not his Ace, but still) and Tobi had skipped away from the smoking craters like a child on Christmas. Just . . . how?? Deidara didn’t get it, what the hell was he? At the end of the battle he had flown down, irked and angry.

“You have to tell me what your jutsu it, Tobi! We can’t work together if we don’t know the in’s and out’s of each other’s abilities!”

“But senpai, all it is is dodging! I’m veryyyyy slippery~” He had giggled, placing a hand over the bottom of his mask, as if to cover his giggles.

“That doesn’t answer any of my questions!”

And Tobi never answered any of them. And it only lead Deidara to be more and more suspicious. An idiot with capabilities of dodging any attack? Why. Wasn’t. He. Picked. Before. Now? The question always seemed to come up, more so when Tobi was being an idiot which was always. True, he wasn’t vastly intelligent or even all that cruel, hell there were times that Deidara was sure Tobi didn’t have an evil bone in his body. But that only brought up more questions that ran into more walls then answers. It got to the point where it would be easier to believe that Tobi was related somehow to Pain-sama and was waved in out of pity then anything else. That obviously wasn’t the answer but still.

Whether he had answers or not, Deidara kept an eye on him and while at first he hated doing so (the idiot was annoying as hell, just as he’d predicted), it became easier and easier and they naturally fell into step with one another. So easily that Deidara found himself surprised one day when Tobi did something annoying and he responed with his usual annoyance but found himself feeling . . . fond? (of course Deidara still whole-heartedly disagrees whenever Hidan brings any of it up. They’re NOT on the same page and he DOESN’T like when Tobi asks for a random hug during missions or when he asks for art demonstrations!).  But either way, he’ll continue to be wary because as easy as it is to believe Tobi’s a moron, Deidara knows better to underestimate him  even if he sometimes forgets cause Tobi’s eagerly listening to his art rants or has the artist actually laughing to the point of tears.

Late post hhhnnnnmmgg

Deidara in pigtails is a blessing

[incorrecttobideiquotes]

[ubeetlebum]

Tobidei AU where Deidara and Tobi are told to catch Naruto so they have o come up with a plan. They build a fake ramen stall, and Deidara dresses up as a fake ramen chef. Tobi is in charge of luring team 7 to the place, offering a special discount to celebrate their opening, plus if your name is Naruto you get a FREE bowl or ramen! :D

Naruto totally buys it and gets super excited. Kakashi thinks there’s something fishy going on but they go to the ramen stall anyway.

Then Tobi gets carried away inviting people to the fake restaurant, so a few minutes later they have a hungry crowd of local people queuing.

Kakashi takes the chance in the middle of the confusion to grab Naruto and run, while he kicks and screams that he's hungry. No matter how much Deidara shouts that his ramen is the best he'll ever taste, Naruto doesn't come back.

Gai sensei, who was the next customer in line, orders 150 bowls of super spicy ramen.

And that's the end of Deidaras short career as a ramen chef.

[redskiez]

I saw this pic on Instagram by __doglovers and I thought about how it shows the difference between Tobi and Obito and the shit that Deidara has to put up with when people are around.

[triadikat]

Hello, I love your drawing style, could you draw more tobidei pokemon? it's very cute xd

Thank you so much and I absolutely will! I'm honestly a bit sad that I haven't drawn those lil pokébeans since 2020 so hopefully I'll be able to post about them again soon! If you ever have any requests for them in the future feel free to shoot me another ask! I've been meaning to start doing art more frequently again so this'll deifnitely be a good opportunity for me 😊😊

[tobideiweek]

Tobidei Nation, thank you very much for participating in Tobidei Week 2022! Thanks to those who could only make one prompt, to those who made several and to those who made them all! We even had a participant who combined both prompts for the same day! Thank you too to everyone who reblogged the entries and left likes and comments. You all are amazing! Tobidei Week is over but we'll continue to reblog late entries for another couple of weeks.

See you soon!

[shiroekoyuki]

Deidara :)

Favourite thing about Deidara:

Everything asdgglahfljajfkshfkskhelp

Aaaaa I can't pick one XD I guess his energetic character? And the fact that he said Itachi was good-looking and that he is pretty friendly around Kisame. It just shows that even if he absolutely loathes someone, he wouldn't be denial and insist that that person is all bad (basically get all pouty and childish), he'll admit when someone has strengths. And even though he hated Itachi, he does not immediately hates anyone associated with him, aka Kisame.

EDIT: I can't believe I left this part out, but his intelligence as well. You can really see how smart and analytical he can be during his fight with Sasuke. He planned out bombs, strategies, he learned from his battle with Itachi, etc. It's another thing I love him for. He didn't just lose a sore loser, he learned from the fight and worked on improving himself in order to take Itachi down. It's sad that he ultimately died because of his hot-headed nature... I'm sure he could have won against Sasuke if he had been calmer... He really didn't have to use that suicide bomb...

I love how uniquely strong he is too. He isn't just all talks, his bombs are really to be admired and feared. I also find his explosions beautiful.

And may I also mention how much I love his eyes? His prefect, beautiful blue eyes that shines so brightly and stunningly especially during Itachi's backstory episodes (451 to 460 I think???) I love them

Least favourite thing about Deidara:

I really don't want to say this but his arrogance. It literally killed him. It also prevented him from really opening up and having more friends because whenever someone says anything that offended his art, he gets really... Well, offended.

I'm sorry I can't even really think right now lmao I don't know how to Engrish

I guess he at least died happy and satisfied?

Favourite line:

Once again, very tempted to say everything. He doesn't even appear that much so whenever he does come up and say anything at all, I always squeal and want to hear more from him asdfglahdjfls but I guess if I gotta choose...

"Cower in awe! Recoil in despair! Cry your heart out! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION!!"

brOTP:

Hidan and Deidara. I've read a lot of fics where the writers made these two Bros and can I say that I love all of them? I love all of them yes I love a l l o f t h e m .

OTP:

SASODEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love TobiDei too but my OTP will always be SasoDei

nOTP:

DeiSaku

Random Headcanon:

He wears that high ponytail to make himself look taller. (He probably wears tall shoes too)

Unpopular opinion:

I don't think I have one though... Sorry ^^;;;

Song I associate with Deidara:

There isn't actually one specific song I associate Deidara with but after reading (and currently rereading) an ItaDei masterpiece called 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine' written by ShullieQ, I now frequently associate them (or at least that fic) with 'I'm glad you're evil too'.

And I don't know if this counts, but someone wrote a rap about Deidara and I definitely associate him with that rap. It's called 'The Deidara Rap (Naruto Shippuden)' by None Like Joshua.

Black Fingernail, Red Wine: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/3649456/1/Black-Fingernails-Red-Wine

Favourite picture from Deidara:

Thanks so much for the ask!!!

[jinxofthecipher]

Akatsuki Scene (featuring KisaIta, TobiDei, & slight KakuHida):

“And that concludes this meeting,” Their leader called out, his purple ringed eyes looking around the room. Itachi remained quiet, his sharingan thrums behind his eyes as the rinnegan meets his then moves on. “We will convene a month from now unless something comes up. You’re free to go.” With that final word, their leader’s image fizzled out, leaving the other’s flickering in the dark of the cave.

“Oooo so we’re going after the three tails, Deidara senpai??” Tobi, buzzing with energy (him and Deidara being the only members that were close enough to come in-person) jumped his partner with a pleased giggle. 

“Yes, now get off me.” The artist frowned, pushing Tobi away to open the scroll they’d received. He doesn’t say a word when the masked man instead leans against him, assumingly reading what’s written, but Itachi’s eyes narrow, not missing the obscurred hand-holding, even in the dark. He turns away, however, respecting their privacy, and looks to Kisame instead. 

The shark gives him a broad grin in turn, multi-colored form flickering in and out, “you ready to go, Itachi?” 

"I th-”

“It’s not too far, senpai!!” Tobi giggles, voice hushed but still loud in the dark cavern.

“Yeah. It shouldn’t take too long, maybe a few days, I think. Though we shouldn’t put too much hope in these last corridinates, they were from three months ago.” 

“It’s gonna be so much fun! Can we get snacks? Canwecanwecanwe???”

“Maybe!” Deidara exclaims, pinching his eyes shut and running a hand through his hair, taking a deep breath, “Maybe. But only if you tone it down a bit, yeah?” He straightened his cloak. 

Tobi gives a quick nod, “sure thing, Deidara senpai. Tobi will be silent, like the grave!” And just like that, the masked man fell eerily quiet. The lack of voice sent every hair on the back of Itachi’s neck standing straight up and his gaze flicked to the other obscurred Uchiha. Tobi was watching his partner roll up the scroll and pack it away, a happy shadow. It reminded Itachi too much of that fateful night all those years ago, when he’d asked Madara for help and the shadows had been long and the silence deafening.

As if sensing him, Tobi looked over and, even though he couldn’t see the other’s eye through the hole in the mask, Itachi knew Tobi was looking at him. 

Neither said a word, just stared. 

Finally, “hiya Itachi,” the masked man gave a little wave, ignoring his partner’s rolling eyes at the sudden lack of silence, though Tobi’s voice wasn’t as high or shrill as it had been, “things goin’ well with you and Kisame?” It was a simple question, one no other member would have blinked at. It was just Tobi asking a random question. Yet Itachi’s blood ran cold. He stiffened, fighting a frown, fighting the sharingan behind his eyes and his fingers twitched ever so slightly. Beside him, he could feel Kisame sudden unease even if the other made no outward expression. 

“We’re doing fine, Tobi.” Came the response, cold. “You and Deidara?” 

“Better, though he’s still an idiot.” Deidara answers in Tobi’s place, having begun moving towards the caves entrance. Tobi physically deflates, looking over his shoulder at his partner.

“Senpai!! You said Tobi’s been doing so much better! Especially with-” 

Deidara almost trips at whatever implications he can hear and sends a venemous glare back before Tobi can finish, “Not right now, you’re not!!”

The masked man sighs, looking back at Itachi and giving a shrug, “good days and bad days, but,” he lowers his voice, “our teamwork’s made some leaps and bounds!” Itachi’s eyes narrow a fraction just as Tobi cocks his head, “at least you two seem to be doing okey-dokey!” There’s a giggle and a hand covers the bottom of Tobi’s mask as if to hinder the noise before he gives a big wave and skips after the retreating, grumbling blonde. “See you all later!!”

Watching the proceedings from their corner, Hidan leans into Kakuzu’s space, muttering something to him with a smirk and Itachi shuts his eyes, forcing a deep calming breath. 

“Come, Kisame. We’re leaving.” He re-opens them, ignoring just how close Hidan is to his partner and Kakuzu isn’t pushing him away like he once would have-and looks to Kisame instead who gives a sharp nod, discomfort radiating from his being.

Silent, they weave the signs and end the jutsu. Their multi-colored bodies flicker then disappear, leaving Kakuzu and Hidan as the last members to remain though, after a second, they too vanish. 

The cavern disappears around them and woodland sounds replace it; hazy eyes open to find them back on the bank they’d sat near. A tranquil stream passing before them, lapping gently at the sides.

Itachi blinks a few times, always a bit off whenever coming back to his physical form. He gives a small shudder, moving each body part, finding them stiff from having remained in one spot for too long. Still, he doesn’t get up. 

Not far, seated on his own rock, Kisame is rolling his neck, cracking it to one side, then the next, grunting at the sharp pain in his joints. “Wish they’d give us more warning if the meeting’s going to be so long.” Massaging a forearm, Kisame stands and falters, just noticing how quiet his partner is. 

Yellow eyes slip to him easily, finding Itachi where he had been before the jutsu, back slightly hunched, eyes focused on the slow-moving water. The sun is just starting to set and it brings a reddish tint to the Uchiha’s black hair. It would be pretty if not for the rest of the visual. Itachi’s stare is hard and, to anyone else, blank and unemotional, but not to Kisame, he can see the strain echoing in every muscle beneath the cloak, the narrowed eyes, the somewhat clenched fingers. 

Kisame’s face falls slightly, he brushes a hand through his short hair and takes another step, stopping beside the Uchiha, “it’s cause of what Tobi said, isn’t it, Itachi?”

Black eyes flick up to him, only for a moment then slip back to the water. Sighing, Kisame sits down. Their knees brush, once, twice, then remain together as he crosses his legs, getting comfortable. There are words on his tongue, words and sentences, maybe even a joke, but Kisame remains quiet. He waits, patient as always, and looks out at the water. 

Finally the other speaks, “I am beginning to suspect the other’s know, or at least are suspicious of our relationship.”

Kisame only nods, unsurprised. He knew the moment they had entered the meeting, Hidan had had the gall to wink at him. Which if that hadn’t been a smack in the face then Tobi’s question sure had been. The masked man hardly ever asked specifics towards anyone, not since the on time Kisame and him had talked, face to face. No Tobi facade. Just them. So to have his sudden, undevoted attention back once more, had been unnerving to say the least. It could only mean one thing: Tobi had noticed. Which, as much as he trusted him, probably wasn’t a good thing.

“I thought we were being pretty inconspicious,” he shakes his head, “we’ve not done anything different when they’re around. We’re careful.” The words sound so sure in his mouth and to his ears and yet . . . he considers the few times they’ve met up with the other’s. So far there were two meet-ups with Kakuzu and Hidan, one accidental with Deidara and Tobi and, well, that was it. Sure, he had leaned his leg up against Itachi’s that one time but the place had had poor lighting and Tobi and Deidara had been too interested in each other then them! And it had been out of sight anyways, no one could’ve seen it but . . . if they had sharingan . . . his eyes shut and Kisame squeezed the bridge of his nose. “You don’t think it was that one time with Tobi and-”

“Yes, but I think it was with all of them.” Itachi says, thoughtful, “they each guessed we were . . .” he stalls for a moment, “closer than simple subordinates, though I am unsure what in particular we did to have them guess such a thing.” He worries his bottom lip lightly and Kisame pats the other’s knee in what he can hope is comfort. It must be taken as such since Itachi catches it with his own and they leave them laced togehter atop their knees. “You’re right, we acted as we always have when around them, but perhaps we weren’t as thorough as we first assumed.” 

Kisame hums, a mix of agitation and concern. Tobi hadn’t come after them, hadn’t hinted at things being a problem if two of his men were closer then work partners. So perhaps it was alright? “We might be ok, since Tobi hasn’t done anything . . . but how do you want to play this, Itachi?” He cocked his head, leaving it up to the other as usual, the Uchiha was better at strategy, at taking the lead, and this was no different. 

Thinking, Itachi squeezed the other’s hand, discerning possiblities in his mind, one that came up being that Tobi would hold the information, use it in some way. Itachi couldn’t put it past him, but Itachi hadn’t planned on leaving or doing anything to throw the organziation off so it shouldn’t ever come up, right? He sighed, closing his eyes. 

“For now we’ll play it by ear but . . . I don’t find anything wrong with continuing our areangement.”

Kisame snorts, shaking his head, “you make it sound so professional.”

“Would you wish for me to call it something else?” Black and yellow eyes met.

“You could try with ‘relationship’ unless that’s too much?” Itachi blinked at his partners words and Kisame swallowed. Perhaps that was moving things a bit too fast? He wasn’t too sure. Though, when Itachi’s face softened into a smile that might’ve had Kisame’s stomach pleasantly twist, he found his worries gone.

“I’d like that.” And Itachi’s hand squeezed his, receving one in return as they both leaned against each other, into a sense of comfort born between them.

Another tobidei. just for today I'm obssesed with this pairing.

[incorrecttobideiquotes]

yo so i just found ur blog and noticed u said sasodeis dont interact do u mind me asking why? im just genuinely confused and curious, dont mean it in a rude way. is it bc of ship wars and stuff?

Main three reasons why:

One, three s*sodeis ruined my life. One of them hurt me to the point where I can no longer speak in public (it has been 8 years and I still have not been able to overcome this crippling fear) and refused to take responsibility, even going to far as to ridicule me for being insecure. Now, I live with social anxiety.

Two, I thought I came up with it. I am pretty attached to T/ObiDei because I thought I was pretty original to have come up with this ship (I sat in my room trying to come up with new couples to ship after having exhausted my enthusiasm for UlquiHime and NaruHina and came to this magical conclusion that men can be together - once this realization came to be, I immediately thought about Tobi and Deidara) and I thought I was the first one. Two seconds later, after having Googled TobiDei, it’s clear that I am not the only one and the existing artwork and fanfic have only enticed me to go further down the rabbit hole. After having exhausted all existing creations, I demanded more so I took it upon myself to create more for them. That was eight years ago - and in three months, it will be nine.

Three, (and yes,) ship wars. There were more s*sodeis than TobiDeis back then. I ran a deviantART ask account and I got a couple of s*sodeis and anti-TobiDeis making fun of me. I didn’t find many people to interact with me because of existing friendships and “relationships.” I took this as a sign that I must squash all these enemies and show them the greatness of TobiDei, which is far superior to any other ship, especially s*sodei*.

This also leads to a fourth, more driving reason for my personal vendetta against the other ship:

I identify with Tobi. A lot. He got me through my darkest years of secondary school and his name literally saved my life. My nickname IRL is still Tobi after all these years.

Over the years, after having shipped him with Deidara for so long, I developed this strange-ass crush on him. So, it turned into me (feeling as though I am, to some extent, Tobi) shipping myself with Deidara. This happened kind of rapidly, I think. It has to be within two years of first shipping T/ObiDei. (Of course, I did feel a sense of belonging with Tobi the moment he appeared on screen.) I didn’t think I liked Deidara that much back then but my belonging with Tobi kind of made most of the interactions between those Sasori DA ask accounts and Deidara DA ask accounts leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

Now, anything relating to s*sodei makes me feel horrible. Like cheating, you know? So, I’d rather not see that in my notifications. I made efforts to filter out the tags but many leave their s*sodeis untagged. There are also accounts that just have the name in their URL, which isn’t a word I like to read often, and it makes me upset. To some degree, if their account is just s*sodei posts (or blatantly said to be just filled with it), I block them. I like to look at the tags (if any) people put on reblogs and if their other posts are interesting, I might stalk them a bit. If I have to scroll through untagged posts, I’d rather I lose a follower/fan than have to hurt myself because I am too curious for my own good.

All in all, it’s just trauma and bad experiences. Nothing concrete but it makes me feel icky so I’d rather not see it. Make me seem like a bad person or whatever, I don’t care (I actually do!!! I’m all sad now if you think I’m horrible. I thought this was Tumblr where all feelings are valid!!), but understand that it just hurts a lot and I don’t like to feel hurt.

*This is extremely untrue and all ships are equal because most of them are fictional and would not come to be. Real ships that have really set-sailed are on another category.

P.S. Yes, I am aware that blocking is an extreme thing to do but it prevents me from being irrationally angry and it prevents them from being harassed by me if I ever lose control, so I’m protecting both myself and them. They’re not really missing out on much. They can live.

TobiDei high school modern au, please!

eyyyy sorry it took a while uwu.  haven’t really polished a legit modern school au deidara and tobi but here’s what i got in mind so far! everything’s under the cut!

In this AU, Tobi is NOT Obito im planning on making them two diff. persons so yea just putting it up here to avoid confusion.

They’re actually college students, Deidara being just a year ahead of Tobi. Deidara’s an art major while Tobi’s a theater major because the boy just loves being on stage and acting

Deidara specializes in clay sculpting and has a fond hobby with fireworks and light explosives, but isn’t really allowed to handle them anymore since Sasori and him became roomies he blew up the fucking kitchen with a small firework for some damn reason this kid is troublesome

While Deidara practically has coffee for blood due to loads of school works, Tobi literally has chocolate milk as fuel. can’t blame the kid, he’s really into sweets.

TOBI LOOKS UP TO DEIDARA PLATONICALLY. He just really thinks Deidara is so pretty, awesome and just the epitome of “cool”.  But him being in a relationship with him? not happening because of a certain red hair i’m sorry my sasodei feels are stronger than tobidei ;;

With this in mind, Tobi loves annoying and trying to get more attention from Deidara. He kinda gets jealous with Sasori only because the red hair gets to hang out with the blonde 24/7. Like, let the lil boy hang out with his senpai gdi

Soon enough, Deidara actually starts entertaining Tobi with sarcasm and even hits the younger constantly. Dei doesn’t hold back too: if he feels like strangling Tobi because of a fucking pun he fucking will.

Thankfully, Deidara hasn’t killed him yet jk jk

Tobi acts like the next-door school girl around Deidara. He typically left several fangirl (boy) letters in his locker and even thought of making a box lunch for Deidara, which horribly fails because Tobi isn’t that good of a cook.

Speaking of letters, Deidara actually thought they were from a girl. And when he received a meet-up with his secret admirer, Deidara shat bricks upon seeing Tobi

Deidara might appear to hate having Tobi around, but if anyone insults his precious junior, he will fucking bite

Random HC!: Tobi’s lockscreen is, ‘ya guessed it, his precious senpai

“is he your boyfriend tobi?” “no, he’s my hero”

He tried growing his hair as long as Deidara too, but he ended up looking a ragged mutt.

WHY DOES TOBI WEAR A MASK IN THIS AU? No one knows. he just entered college wearing that mask and hasn’t been seen without it. Legend has it that he wears it to hide nosebleeds whenever Deidara’s around. This has yet to be proven.

ANOTHER RANDOM HC! Tobi has silly shirts he wears in school. He even gave Deidara as gifts. Deidara doesn’t really wear them but keeps them anyway as a sign of appreciation

Deidara once asked Tobi to see his face. Tobi ran off Sonic the Hedgehog style.

They’re both part of an outside-school group called Akatsuki. They don’t do anything big, they just hang out and have really cool jackets they wear as a “squad goal”

[jinxofthecipher]

Akatsuki Scene featuring TobiDei:

“B-But senpai!!!” Came the wail of despair.

“I said no, we’re not getting anymore snacks.”

Tobi sighs, heavily, “But-”

“It’s not my fault you ate through them so fast!” The artist sends a glare over his shoulder, eyeing his partner critically. He’s not at all sure how Tobi managed to plow through three entire bags of miscellaneous candy, all without Deidara even seeing his face. How he managed to eat all that without flashing his mouth or chin was beyond the blonde. “Just be thankful I bought any in the first place. It’s a one time treat so don’t go expecting it, hmph.” Huffing, he turns on his heel, quicking his walk, becoming more and more aware of their surroundings the further they go. They’re getting close. 

There’s a strangled noise of glee as Tobi skips to his side, linking their arms like some weirdo couple and, grabbing Deidara’s hand with his other, gives it a squeeze, “look at my senpai, being all sweet on me~” It’s a coo, a soft-spoken, happy coo right into the blonde’s ear and he can’t help the sudden heat turning his neck and face red.

“I said don’t get used to it!” Growling (though with little threat behind it), Deidara pushes the other away. Tobi detatches, mostly, he keeps their hands entwined, swinging lazily between them. It only prompts a sigh. “Look, we’re getting close to the three tails’ last position. It’s a long shot, but it might still be there. You have to be on your guard, even with your abilities.” 

“So no more candy then?” 

“None.” 

Grumbling, Tobi walks beside him, staring forlorn at the empty bag of candy. With a heavy sigh, he shoves it back into his pocket. All the while, their hands are still connected, neither comment on it. 

“What’s the plan then? The usual?”

“First lets find it, observe and then make a judgement call on its behavior.” Blue eyes flick to their hands then up to the masked man, “it’s not like any of our other ones. No jinchuriki this time. So expect rash and animalistic tendencies.” It’s a needless word of caution; Deidara knows Tobi won’t have a problem, he knows he’ll act like it’s a problem but the idiot just didn’t seem able to die, no matter the opponent. Course, knowing such things about Tobi doesn’t make Deidara feel anymore in the know about anything. His partner, along with his innitation is all so suspicious that Deidara should look at it closer, should unravel it. It’s right there, in his reach . . . he doesn’t, of course not yet. But, even with all that, with all that distrust and paranoia, Deidara finds he trust his partner. 

Of course, he’ll never admit to trusting him, though, right now, it’s burning on the tip of his tongue. He can feel them smolder as Tobi meets his gaze and he’s sure the masked man can sense what he doesn’t want to say. He wouldn’t put it past him. Tobi always knows more then he lets on. He was, after all, an observer. When he wasn’t talking, he was silent, watchful and Deidara found it more unnerving then anything, especially when the look was turned on him.

A hand tightens around his own, quick, almost a reflex. A question. And Deidara wordlessly returns the movement as they look away and down the path they’re on.

“If-” Deidara starts, purposefully not looking at his partner, “if we manage to defeat the three tails in a . . .” he ponds the right words, “reasonable amount of time, and neither of us get injured, I might be persuaded to buy you another bag.”

“REALLY!?”

“Quiet, you idiot! There could be people in these woods! And I said I ‘might’ not that I would.”

Tobi’s back to thrumming with energy, the hand rubs eagerly at his then is encased by both the masked man’s hands as he turns completely to Deidara. They’ve stopped walking now. “Tobi will make sure we aren’t injured! You can count on me! And I’ll be look out too!” With a final squeeze, Tobi drops his hand and dashes forward, ducking behind a tree, peeking around it further down the path. “Clear so far, senpai!”

The high-strung, pleased voice and visual is enough for Deidara to crack a smile.  

“We’re not that close, Tobi. Give it another three miles.”

The comment is, of course, ignored and Deidara only shakes his head, smothering a chuckle as Tobi continues ahead of him, all the while ignoring how cold his hand suddenly is.
