Ignorance is Bliss

Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven 

“Do you think she’ll be okay, hm?” 

“If you were so worried about that, you would have watched what you were doing in the first place.” A deeper, gruffer voice grunted back, scolding him. It was weird, hearing Deidara being talked down to, as opposed to the countless praise he would often receive from me. Not that it came from me, though. 

“Just answer the damned question,” he snarled back. The other man snorted, sticking something deep into my arm. I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from crying out. But, not even my clenched eyelids could keep the tears from rolling down my cheeks. 

“You did this- so, why don’t you tell me?”

“I’m not paying you to be a smart ass!” 

“And, you’re not paying me to answer questions, either. So, shut the fuck up if you want me to keep quiet about this.” The malice laced in the two men’s voice made me flinch, unable to control myself. Although, I highly doubted they noticed as the room engulfed in silence as the pain stayed constant. 

Whatever happened, it was because of Deidara. And, because of his social standing, he couldn’t even bring me to a doctor. So, I was stuck with these two shady ass idiots who’ve obviously never heard of anesthetics. 

And, after what felt like hours of torture, the probing in my arm finally went away. But, the pain didn’t. Manly grunts were issued, and then the shuffling of feet, followed by the slamming of a door. 

A gentle hand pressed against my forehead, leaving me to believe that Deidara had left me in here with the strange man. Although, after hearing their conversation, I could hardly believe either would touch this softly. Especially after being so rude to one another. 

The male I had become accustomed to, however, couldn’t have been capable of this type of tenderness, either. Even if it was just a hand pressed to my head. It was unrealistic. 

“Bliss…I don’t know if you can hear me…but, I’m sorry, hm.” Hearing the sincerity in his voice made me wish I could open my eyes, to look into his eyes. But, something told me that if he had thought I were conscious, he would have never said anything. And, as I felt his warm lips press against the corner of mine, I realized staying as I was had been a good decision. And, just like that, I was gone, again. 

He was forgiven.

“Did you forget about that boy, Bliss-chan?” Tobi giggled, prancing around me like a small child. Despite his height (and obvious muscle), it would seem as if Tobi was nothing more than that- a small child. 

I watched him affectionately, grinning as I replied, “What boy?” It felt wrong to lie to him, my only friend, knowing I’d never truly forget Deidara. And, no matter how hard I tried, I could never stay mad at him for long. But, plaguing such an innocent soul with my worries seemed demonic. Absolutely heartless. I didn’t want him to worry about such things. Especially when the two came from completely different dimensions, as it seemed. 

One was like a newborn child- innocent, not an evil fiber in his whole being. While the other may as well be the devil, himself. And, even with the evil that was the blonde, well, that very same essence possessed even me. 

Not in the way it did him. But, it just…well, it kept me bond to Deidara. To the very extent to where I had no hope of ever escaping him. That’s just how it was. I was drawn to him. And, him- by some chance- me. 

Tobi giggled, again, chanting silly rhymes. None I really paid attention to. It had a sweet melody, the way he sung it, so I expected no less than what was laid out before me. A really bad habit of mine, really. To not be able to see past the illusions placed right before my eyes. Easily believing what I wanted, not questioning. 

And, I think that’s what got me in the most trouble. That, and the secrets.

Tobi momentarily stopped his skipping to stare at me. And, even if it was for the briefest of moments, I thought I saw a ruby eye glint back at me from the hole in his mask. I didn’t know if what I saw could have been just that, or just a trick of the light, but the sight sent chills down my spine. 

“Tobi wants to meet him,” he declared, cocking his head to the side. “Bliss-chan likes him, I want to meet him.”

“What? Tobi- no. I’ve forgotten him! I mean, I’m not sure if that’s such a g-”

“Not up for discussion~!” He sung, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Tobi is a good boy, yes?”

“Tobi, of course. Bu-”

“So, you’ll let me?”

The moment he squeezed tighter was the moment I completely caved. Tobi would meet me…whatever he was. And, we could only hope for the best from the two. 

I’m not sure to how Deidara would react to this. And, as I watched Tobi gleefully skip away, I felt the dread settle in my stomach. What was I kidding? Tobi: the spaz; and Deidara: the criminal. 

Kami, bless our souls, Deidara was going to kill us both. 

!~*~*~*~*~*~*!

Eh. I know no one cars about muah’s personal life, but I wanna share something with you guuuise. 

So, like today, I gave Preston a card that I had drawn. (I’ll post a picture on the side. Taken from his instagram, of course.) But, like, he’s been having a hard time, so me and Alicia decided we were gonna write him a cute little note and give him candy, a balloon, and that card. This kid has been like depressed, I guess you could say, for awhile now, and to see him smile like he did made me so happy. It was like cute and yhfiurfrfr. He kept hugging us and ahwww. I’ve known this kid for like 11 years, now, so idk. That one little moment meant a lot to me.
