Artists' Perspective [Deidara x Reader]

Flames- Chapter 46 pt. 2

(Y/n pov)

"I guess I should have seen this coming Deidara isn't the type to leave any opportunities to destroy stuff, I guess I'm not either though"

After a bit of a walk we arrive at the gates of The Leaf Village. They seem smaller than I remember. Huh.

"Yuck- I forgot how much I hated being here"

"Hmm" Deidara cuts off my internal monologue, "We don't want to drag the whole village into this- I don't think Pain-sama would approve of us starting more conflict for no reason. Are there any weak points around the Anbu headquarters, I think we could get away with blowing that up-un"

"Let me think... Not sure about weak points -but I absolutely know where the headquarters are!"

"I think we could take them by ambush- they're probably not worried about a couple deciding to bomb something as a date activity" Deidara says sarcastically.

"You have a point" I laugh, "Ok, I can take us to the headquarters and keep us away from surveilance"

My confidence now steadily growing, we near the village's interior.

"There- you see those trees- near that wall" I say, "Their canopies are directly above the headquarters"

"How specific~" Deidara remarks.

"Well I this was my entire life until you came along"

"Yeah yeah- no need to thank me" He laughs.

I snicker at his remark, "Well, let's not loiter. C'mon!"

I grab the blonde's hand and lead him towards the infiltration point. We scale the trees looming over the Anbu base.

(Deidara pov)

"What's going on here?!" A voice butts in.

A pair of Anbu members emerge from the surrounding woods. They must have heard us or something. 

(Y/n) whips her head around and takes on a fighting stance.

"Call for reinforcements, now!" One of them yells.

"This is awkward" I say, slyly stepping in front of (Y/n).

"You're-" The voice waivers. 

(Y/n) laughs. Not her usual laugh though- a heartless laugh. One I've never heard. It sounds both broken and enraged. It worries me.

 I prepare to defend her with my life, shielding her with my body. Not that she needs it, but I'd never be able to forgive myself if something happened to her. I've been in countless fights but for some reason my mind is racing and my senses are all scrambled.

I gently reach to touch her hand. My fingers brushing along hers. Her stance briefly wavers in response to my touch. 

"Deidara" She says, her words seemingly slowing the flow of time and her kind tone returning.

I turn to look her in the eyes. Her gaze feels like it's setting me on fire. I smile is anticipation and turn to face the Anbu members. 

Breaking our eye contact a kunai brushes past me, causing me to gasp. Luckily it was thrown in the direction the Anbu by (Y/n). I exhale sharply. My senses kick into high gear. I smile at (Y/n) longingly, I ready myself for a skirmish. 

(Y/n pov)

I snap back into reality when my hand is touched by Deidara. I force myself to take action, throwing a kunai at the opposing shinobi. As I throw the knife, Deidara gasps and flinches. He quickly reacts and tosses a simple explosive at the shinobi's feet, causing a small explosion.
