"Sasori?"you called as you knocked on his door.
"Come in,"came his emotionless reply, and you pushed open the door.
You smiled at the sight of the red haired man who didn't turn to look at you as he worked on his puppet. He remained quiet as you went and took a seat in your usual spot to watch him. "What is it?" Sasori asked.
"...will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?"
The man froze in place. His gorgeous puppet features looking blank at the question. A small, tight frown was set upon his face, and his glassy eyes looked at his puppet for several long moments before he moved them to look to you. "What kind of question is that?"he scoffed.
"I just want to know...will you? When I'm not as perfect as your puppets?"
"(Y/n)...you're a baka-"
"Eh? Sasori I-"
"Be quiet, you're wasting my time again. Let me finish," snapped the puppet master. "You're a baka because regardless of how much you age, you'll always be beautiful to me. I just wish you'd be like me so I wouldn't have to worry about losing such beauty in the future."
"You know how I feel about that..."you mumbled.
"I know...but I won't press it anymore. I want you to come to me when you're ready to become like me."
"Thank you."
"Anything for you, my doll."
You blushed at his pet name for you and avoided his gaze. A moment later he gently grabbed your wrist. His smooth skin was cool against your own as he pulled you to him. You smiled as he gave you his signature awkward hug as he folded his arms around you. It always felt odd to you being hugged by a man made of wood and covered in a cloak. It made it even odder that you were in love with a living puppet who reciprocated your feelings. You smiled as his smooth lips pressed against your forehead in a comforting way. "I love you," you murmured as you buried your face in the soft cloak that was as dark as night.
"I love you too," he said as he held you close and buried his face in your hair.
