Counting the Stars [SasoDei Fanfic]

Opening the Wooden Chest

Deidara POV

"What are feelings?"

I looked at my Danna and stared. His question had caught me off guard and now I just sat there like an idiot.

"What are feelings?" he repeated, slightly annoyed.

"I heard you the first time, hm," I said hastily. "I'm just thinking."

I rubbed the back of my neck and racked my brain. Come to think of it, I never thought about it before. I frowned and continued to ponder the idea. "Feelings... What are they?..." The question repeated itself over and over in my mind as I tried to think of an easy answer to the question I had no solution to.

"Is your brain too empty to answer such a simple question?" Sasori said, raising an eyebrow in the process.

"You wish, un," I retaliated as I thought up a quick definition. "Well, Danna... Uh... Feelings are how you feel at a given place and time." I explained quickly and nodded to myself, feeling proud of the answer.

Sasori looked at me with a blank stare (although his eyes are usually void of emotion >_<) and sweat-dropped. "Oi, brat. You can't use the word in the definition."

I chewed on my nail as I continued to think. "C'mon you know this Deidara! Get it together! You can answer this stupid question, un!" my mind shouted. But yet, I was unable to respond.

"So you don't have an answer after all. I expected as much." The redhead mumbled as he turned away and headed towards the door.

"Oi! Wait!" I shouted, grabbing Danna by his wrist. "I have an answer!"

The puppet master turned to face me with widened eyes.

"It's what you feel in your heart, hm, Sasori no Danna."

Sasori POV

"It's what you feel in your heart..."

My hand subconsciously reached towards the hollow chamber which contained the heart which had stopped beating years ago. "What I feel in my heart..." I repeated to myself monotonously. "What if I don't feel anything?..."

"That's not possible Danna. Even though you're a puppet, you still have a heart. And as long as we're both alive, I'll help you regain your feelings, hm," Deidara chuckled and gave his signature smirk.

If a puppet could blush, I would've been ten shades darker. Pulling away from the blond, I stood up straight and marched towards the door. "Who said I wanted to regain my feelings?" I said haughtily although I longed for the blond's presence.

"Suit yourself, un," Deidara muttered with a confused frown as I strode down the corridor back to my room. With my hand still over my heart, my mind raced. What's this feeling I get when I'm around him? I am a puppet; an eternal piece of art carved out of wood. But this tingling... Are these feelings?
