Thunderstorms had a way of breaking even the toughest people. Take our Akatsuki members for instance. Tonight would find Kisame wrapped securely in Zetsu's arms, inside of the venus fly trap.

Hidan would be wrapped in the arms of Kakuzu in his room, Konan would be snuggled up to Pein in their bed, Sasori would be lying awake with a hyperactive Tobi in his arms, where Deidara would be wrapped tightly in the arms of his beloved Itachi.

Morning would come to find one lover or another, looking shyly into the other's eyes. Giggles or chuckles would be returned as everyone made their way down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast.

With Konan and Pein...

"Mmm, good morning Konan" Pein said as he gave her a light squeeze, before throwing back the covers. "Morning Pein" She mumbled sleepily. "I hate mornings after a storm. I feel so tired." She grumbled. He pulled her out of the bed and took her into his arms as he planted a kiss on her lips, then slowly led her to their private shower.

With Hidan and Kakuzu...

"Good fucking morning, asshole." Hidan said cheerfully, looking into his lover's eyes waiting for that unmistakeable twitch. "You have such a colorful vocabulary." Kakuzu said rolling his eyes at his lover. He strolled out of bed and began to dress, with Hidan staring at him in lustful amusement.

With Zetsu and Kisame...

Zetsu opened his venus fly trap to allow light to come in. Kisame mumbled something incoherant. "What was that love?" Asked Zetsu. Kisame lifted his head from the plant mans shoulder and said "I said, I love you, beautiful." "Hm I love you too my Kisame. It's time to get up and start our day." Zetsu said softly. Kisame stepped out of the venus fly trap to look for his boxers so he could go to his room to dress.

With Sasori and Tobi (Madara)...

Tobi awoke to find Sasori watching him. "What?" He asked smiling. "You are so beautiful, do you know that?" He asked playfully. "No." Tobi said shyly. "Well you are." Sasori said. "I wish you would let me be Madara. I feel vulnerable as Tobi." "Yes but Tobi is so sweet and cute." Said Sasori touching his cheek. "And Madara isn't?" Tobi said crossing his arms. "No that's not what I meant at all. Sasori said, gulping as he pulled his hand back.

With Deidara and Itachi...

"Deidara"....."Deidara.....Hey are you awake?" Asked Itachi. "What 'Tachi, un?" "It's time to get up, my little blonde uke bombshell." "Don't call me that, un." Said Deidara, wide awake now, rolling over to beat up Itachi with his pillow. Itachi grabbed the blonde and hauled him on top of him as they met in a passionate kiss.

As they all entered the kitchen an hour later, there were good mornings and food passed around. Then the jokes would start. "Dammit, I couldn't sleep again last night with all the fuck noises." Hidan said. "Oh wait, that was us! He said as everyone laughed. Sasori snickered and said "And here I thought It was us."

Getting a playful slap from Tobi, who was still a little irked over Sasori's earlier comment. "Oh no, It was my little blonde uke. I told him everyone would hear." Itachi grinned, reciving a death glare from Deidara.

"Well I'm sure you couldn't have heard us, we were inside of a venus fly trap.." Said Kisame getting a wink from Zetsu and a laugh from everyone else. It was mornings like this, that the Akatsuki lived for.
