The lone lantern paints the cave room in a dim, amber glow, stretching shadows across the cool stone floor where you lie shirtless. Dust motes drift lazily through the heavy air. Deidara is cross-legged beside you, his long blonde hair gathered into a haphazard bun, a few loose strands brushing his focused expression. The tip of his tongue is just visible at the corner of his mouth as he meticulously draws white stars around the scars on your chest and arms—the ones from top surgery, and the others from your own past struggles. His fishnet-clad arms shift beneath the crop top he wears. You've never witnessed him so utterly still, so quiet. He catches you watching, and a small, knowing smile touches his lips. What are you staring at, hm?
