Deidara barely glanced at the little bottle Tobi was holding. "Nothing," he said flatly, and turned his attention back across the room. To the Bunsen burner. The SPECIAL one. Which was in use. By somebody other than Deidara. Itachi was using Deidara's Bunsen burner.
It wasn't fair. Everyone knew that Bunsen burner was his! Deidara had even etched his name on the side of it. They'd had so many good times together. Burning little pieces of paper... burning bigger pieces of paper... burning the snakeskin Orochimaru had brought to school... and the snake inside the skin...
That was why Deidara wasn't allowed to use Bunsen burners anymore. (Incidentally, Orochimaru wasn't allowed to bring snakes to school either, but who cared?)
And so, while the rest of the class got to do cool stuff with Bunsen burners, Deidara had to do the dumb remedial assignment...
"Oooh, senpai senpai! What about this one?!"
"It doesn’t do ANYTHING."
... With the class idiot. Who, as far as Deidara could tell, wasn't allowed to use the Bunsen burners because nobody trusted him with them. Deidara's theory was that, since Tobi was new to this school, nobody had figured out he was special ed yet. (But he WAS. Deidara was positive.) He hoped it wasn't long before they realized Tobi needed to be in a class where he could scribble with crayons all day.
So Deidara was letting him do the stupid assignment about mixing colors or making salt crystals or some grade-school crap, Deidara hadn't even looked at the assignment. All he knew was that he didn't get to use the Bunsen burner. So he didn't care. Tobi could mess with the little chemicals the teacher had given them if he wanted to.
He sighed loudly, still glaring at Itachi. Why, of all people, had ITACHI gotten Deidara's Bunsen burner? He didn't even appreciate it. Sure, he used it with plenty of finesse-Deidara couldn't criticize his style-but he used fire so... so... responsibly! There he was! Just using his fire on a glass flask! Like he was SUPPOSED to! With his stupid swim-team jock of a lab partner standing next to him with a bucket of water, like he thought something would catch fire at any moment.
"Hey, senpai-"
"Shut up, Tobi, it doesn't do anything." Use HIS Bunsen burner, would he? Deidara would find some way to get Itachi back. Maybe he'd skip out of school early and go down to the junior high and pull some prank on Itachi's bratty little brother. Heck, maybe he'd skip the rest of this class anyway. Ask to go to the bathroom and go to the art room. If he was lucky, Sasori would be skipping his class to go to the art room as well. Seemed to happen a lot...
"Senpai, I think I-"
"Tobi, stop calling me senpai. I don't care if you're a transfer student, we're in the same grade!"
"But senpai-" Tobi shoved a beaker into Deidara's face, "you really need to look at-"
Deidara shoved Tobi's hand away. "I don't CARE, Tobi. Just leave me alone or I swear I'll strangle you!"
"But the stuff-"
Tobi gasped and dropped the beaker like it had burned him, just before it exploded. Tiny shards of glass flew in every direction. (Lucky that Deidara always wore goggles-he thought he looked good in them-and Tobi had covered his face.)
And the actual contents of the beaker ignited with an almighty boom, flaring in a miniature fireball that rained soot onto them both.
The class was stunned silent. Every face was turned to look at Deidara and Tobi.
At last, Tobi broke the silence: "Oh senpai, you're bleeding!" He hurried off.
Deidara looked at their table. (The top was charred black.) And then he looked around at his shocked classmates. And then he saw Itachi.
He looked completely and utterly calm. But he was staring so intently at them, he hadn't noticed that Deidara's Bunsen burner had set his sleeve on fire.
Deidara grinned.
Something wet pressed against his face, and he jerked back. "But senpai-"
"Gimme that." Deidara snatched the wet paper towel from Tobi's hand and started wiping off his bleeding cuts. As the teacher (who'd finally recovered from the shock) started making his furious way toward them, Deidara leaned over to Tobi and hissed, "You? Are my lab partner from now on. Kohai."
I giggled all the way through this--Itachi not setting things on fire, Deidara being banned from using the bunsen burners, the casual dismissal of Orochimaru not being allowed to bring snakes to school anymore after a line about one of his snakes being set on fire--
There are no words for how awesome and hilarious this is. (Hee, the last line!)
Requester: Weeaboobs! :D
