Subtle Poison

Epilogue

Deidara didn't really care what happened after the 'big revelation'. After his breakdown at the parking lot, he immediately drove home. It's his luck that he didn't get in a car accident considering how his eyes can't seem to stop crying. It's also his luck that his parents are not home and knowing his brother Naruto, he might be in his boyfriend's house again.

So because no one was there to bug Deidara, he bawled his heart out. He cried and sobbed, not caring whether someone will hear him, though he was alone. He can't breathe with how much emotions he was releasing. He was also sure that his room was reeking of his distressed pheromones. And again, he was thankful that no ones home, because if they were to know they won't stop bugging him, and he can't talk right now. Now that he was hurting too much.

Their relationship isn't that long, if you can really call it a relationship. They are nothing. They just met, got attached to each other, fucked each other brains out and nothing more. Deidara's phone kept on buzzing, and if Deidara really knows Obito, no doubt he was standing outside their house. But he can't care now. Obito played him. He can't really call it cheating because they aren't in a relationship. The buzzing on his phone won't stop so Deidara had no other choice but to answer it.

"Deidara let me expl-" Deidara's breath hitched when he heard Obito's voice. He bit his lower lip trying to stop the sob that's threatening to come out.

"Leave me alone. Don't talk to me again. Please." Deidara isn't the one to beg but he really can't talk to Obito right now. Hell, if he have a chance he want to forget the man right away.

"No. Listen to me first--" Once again, Deidara cut him off. He ended the call before Obito finish his sentence.

Obito was the trigger for him, the last thing that snapped him, Deidara thinks. He's just 19, almost 20 but he already experienced too many heartbreaks. Maybe that was a sign. A sign for him to stop because he's still young, he'll have many opportunities to pursue love later in his life. But for now, all he should think about was his future. His studies and his job. So Deidara decides. He needs time and space for himself.

Deidara's eyes snapped open when he felt the sunlight kissing his face. He made no move and kept on laying in his bed. He kinda felt dead inside. He was drained of energy, might be because of all the crying he did last night. Sighing deeply, he sat on his bed and rub his eyes. It kinda sting and if he peeked at the mirror, he's sure his eyes are swollen.

Deidara startled when he heard a knock on his door. He checked himself one last time before opening it. His mother's face welcomed him. Her face full of worry. Deidara tried to smile before letting the door open wide, inviting her to come in.

"How was your night, Dei?" Her mother asked softly. Although he's not looking, he can feel his mother's eyes not leaving him.

"It was fine, I guess. Me and my workmates had fun." Deidara said, shrugging. He was shuffling his papers to look like he was looking at something when in fact, he was just looking at the letters, letting it dance in his mind.

"You're not fine dear. Tell me everything" And that's when Deidara broke down. Tears flowing in his cheeks, wetting the papers. Once again, Deidara is a sobbing mess.

Deidara felt his mother embrace him. He hugged her back. Snuggling his face in her chest. Letting her warmth spread throughout him. He told her everything. How he felt from the start, how he fell hard, and how he broke himself falling down, how he shattered himself falling in love to a man he was not certain with.

Of course as a mother, Kushina was livid. And he let that know by releasing his angry pheromones throughout the house. Deidara tried to stop her of course. He wants no trouble. He just want it to end peacefully. He was still hugging his mother, sobbing painfully. That's the scene his father and Naruto found them. They tried to asked what happened and Deidara let his mother do the talking. After a while, all three of them was livid.
