Their Mess

Hidan was a messy person.

Bet you can guess that, right?

What with the way he dressed, all sloppily, never zipping his cloak all the way up; and the way he taunt, full of bad, bad words that'll get him into even more messy situation; and of course the way he would kill, making splattery blotches of blood everywhere.

But you've never known the half of it before you see him eat.

He'll start eating normally, like everyone else; the plate of food in front of him, the chopsticks, spoon or fork on the side, and a knife occasionally. Then he would start to eat. Usually, something will drop casually on the floor. Be it some bacterial bread crumbs, or maybe little piece of rice; finished by one of his own eating utensils. Whenever it happens, Kakuzu would look at him lazily; and Hidan, feeling a certain look from him, will utter a simple "Oops." then reaching out with expectant eye, wanting Kakuzu to retrieve that fallen utensil. After getting it back, the messy will begin; maybe with more rice stuck on the side of his face; maybe with a little drop of soup dripping from his chin; it had amuses Kakuzu to no end when Hidan accidentally sprayed some hot sauce to his eye.

Every time Hidan ate, it would end up making him looked like a victim of some harsh, ungodly natural disaster.

Kakuzu had known the mess for a long time; well, he had been Hidan's partner for most of the younger man's life. But he had never been able to stop looking in wonder whenever he saw the younger man – his younger man – eats something. And nowadays.. there's more than just wonder in those gazes he sent every time he would see Hidan eat. Not with the way Hidan eats.

The Leader had scolded Hidan for a long time when the-tomato-incident happened at the last dinner they had; not only Hidan managed to make his spot in the dining room worthy of being a crime scene; he also managed to turn the whole mess into a blood-splattered mess when he accidentally splashed his tomato soup on Deidara. His hot, flaming tomato soup. It had ended with such a bang.

Ever since then the Leader had told Hidan to eat inside his and Kakuzu's room before he can manage to lessen some of the mess. So here he is, inside their room, spreading his mess onto his bed.

With Kakuzu watching.

Intently.

Because Hidan was eating his favorite treat, Bavarian Cream-filled doughnut.

Because he, like always, manages to make the cream stray onto his bed and fingers.

Because, with his unthinking mind, he would lick those cream-covered fingers, muttering

"..Yummy."

under his breath.

That's when Kakuzu jumped onto Hidan and turned the whole room into an even bigger mess.

In the end, Kakuzu is as messy a person as Hidan.
