a collection of sasodei drabbles
Deidara runs the oiled brush across Sasori’s skin, imagining the goosebumps his Master would get if he could still feel.
He is gentle yet precise; he marks every spot as if it were a map that he’d memorized by heart, and doesn’t stop until Sasori is gleaming with wood varnish.
Sasori’s joints clack as he stretches them and inspects Deidara’s work. He is bare and hollow, his entire body other than his face a mere imitation. He is painted in a convincingly healthy color, but the lines all over his body remind Deidara that he is no longer human; he has become one with his art.
Deidara longs to reach the same peak that Sasori currently stands on, but for now, he is content with watching him twirl as he makes sure of his eternality.
