An Eternal Explosion

Picture is Deikara (Technically Sasori, but idc it's Deikara xD)
I do not own the picture.

Deidara stopped in the door way as he peered into the nursery, frowning as he saw me. He came closer and reached out to tickle his fingers against Deikara's stomach. The little redhead giggled at the feeling, babbling various sounds towards his uncle. Deidara attempted to take him from me, but Deikara started to fuss a little so he returned him to me.

"Why didn't you wake me up, un? Did you sleep much?"

"I couldn't sleep, hm."

"Deimara, you need sleep, un." Deidara scolded.

"I know... It's strange to sleep without him here. I couldn't fall asleep."

"Do you want me to take the day off, un?"

"No. Just go, I'll be okay."

"Alright. But I'll tell Konan to drop by."

"Okay. Have a good day, don't strain yourself!"

"Try and take it easy, and try not to spoil him too much, un."

"Yeah, I know, hm."

Deidara then exited the room, leaving just myself and Deikara.  He looked up with me with his chocolate brown eyes, a smile forming on his lips. Sadness washed over me at the sight, every feature reminding me of Sasori. He had just walked out last night, and he still wasn't back. But he did have work, so I guessed he was probably at work. But by the time he got home, he'd be tired and probably wouldn't want to talk.

Looking at the time, I figured Konan wouldn't be over for about an hour. That would give me enough time to get ready, get Deikara ready. walk into town, talk to Sasori and come home. Deikara just stared up at me as I stood and I rose to my feet. The trip down the stairs was a bit more awkward when holding a baby, but I didn't slip like the first time so that was good. Luckily Deidara had managed to catch me and Deikara the first time.

I slipped on my shoes and made sure the little redhead's blanket was on properly before exiting the house. The wind blew slightly, although not very hard, and the temperature wasn't too hot nor cold. Overall, it was a beautiful day. I moved down the little path through the trees and entered the main street and soon enough I was blended in with the crowd.

My eyes rested on a little food stall and quickly scanning the menu, I saw one of Sasori's favourite foods. I moved to the side of the street where no one was walking and quickly counting the money I had on me, realizing I had just enough. As I approached the stall, the man who worked there gave a polite smile. He seemed to 'aw' a little at Deikara before taking my order.

"Thank you very much, Miss." He grinned as he handed me a brown paper bag.

"Thank you, have a nice day, hm." I replied.

Turning away, I continued down the street until my eyes finally fell on the library where Sasori worked. I didn't understand why his hours were so long, especially when it was just a library. I entered the store and an old lady sat at the front kindly.

"Excuse me, but do you know where I could find Sasori?"

"Sasori? I'm sorry, but he quit two weeks ago."

"H-he did what!?"

"He came into work one morning and quit, I haven't seen him since. Is something the matter, dear?"

"N-no, i'm fine. I apologize for bugging you, but he didn't tell me, hm."

"You're his girlfriend, aren't you?" She questioned.
