Chapter 3 - Wind

The two met after the school day was over. They bumped into each other accidentally after school, outside the cafeteria. They were confused and dazed for a few seconds, and all was silence, only broken by the sound of wind whistling through the branches.
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize
Motivate your anger to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
Break into the contents, never falling down
"Deidara...we need to have a talk..." were the words that broke the harsh silence. Deidara started. His face turned pale. And then, for just a moment, Sasori could see what was under that veil of hair. Then the vision was gone and everything was normal again.
"Why?"
"Just to talk...to get to know you better...you seem a bit lonely...so I thought maybe more people should know you."
Deidara just simply nodded his head, and the two set off, going nowhere in particular.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care
Waiting is wasting for peple like me.
The two middle school students walked on until they reached a meandering river, which was bordered by a fringe of sakura trees. The pink petals floated down softly in the breeze and landed in the two boys' hair and on their faces.
"Why don't you meet up with other people? How come you're always alone?"
"Because...well...I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"Afraid noody will understand me, afraid they won't accept me as a normal kid."
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry cuz you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
Cuz you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry cuz you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
Cuz you will hate yourself in the end.
"Well...don't you want to have friends?"
"Yes...but...I know they won't accept me..."
"Well...learn to dream more. Dreams are dreams you can't stop them."
You say, "Dreams are dreams."
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
"You say, "Cuz I still got my soul."
"Dreams are dreams. Adrenaline is adrenaline. And I have no dreams...only adrenaline."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
"Deidara...you can have dreams if you believe and see straight."
"I already do believe and I do see straight."
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
Cuz there's always a straight way to the point you see.
"That's not what I mean...you don't understand."
"No! You're the one who doesn't understand! You don't understand me, nobody ever will! So stop trying to see who I really am, it's never gonna work! Don't you see that already?!"
And he ran off without a second word. Sasori stood there, shocked by his last words. Then slowly his lips began to move and a voice started to come out of his throat:
"Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cuz you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cuz you will hate yourself in the end."
