Warnings: Yaoi, ItaHida, a very serious topic not being taken seriously at all, crack, swearing.
This one is surprisingly silly.
... No comment.
Itachi took a deep breath as he looked over the edge of the bridge into the river below. This was it. All he had to do was climb over the railing and...
"Hey!"
Itachi jumped a little and whipped his head around. Who was that? Was someone really stopping him now?
Looking to his right he saw a man with slicked back silver hair, about his age, sitting there, feet dangling over the edge, arms resting around rail posts.
"Yo," the albino greeted, flashing Itachi the peace sign.
Itachi blinked, unsure of what to do. How had he not noticed this man before?
"Hi," he decided on, not thinking of anything else to say.
The man grinned at the acknowledgment, rocking back a little so his chest was no longer pressed against the railing. Wordlessly he patted the ground beside him, an odd yet clear message.
Ah, what the hell, Itachi mused and sat next to the albino, assuming a similar position against the railings.
A silence followed, broken suddenly by the pale man asking a question Itachi didn't expect.
"So," he asked, glancing at Itachi. "You gonna kill yourself?"
Itachi blinked bewilderedly again, then, deciding there was no point in lying, answered. "Yeah, I was thinking about it. You?"
The silver haired man nodded. "Yep, decided today would be the day. The weather's nice."
Itachi had not been aware weather was a factor.
The black haired man shrugged, staring blankly forward across the water.
After a minute or two of silence the albino spoke again.
"We shouldn't do it at the same time you know." He was grinning at Itachi again. "They'll call it a lover's suicide."
Itachi stared back at Hidan. "They will?"
The man nodded. "Oh yeah, definitely."
"Oh."
More silence. This time Itachi spoke first.
"Well than which one of us will it be?"
The man shrugged. "Well I bet I've been trying longer. But you looked awfully determined back there." He was grinning like he was joking, but Itachi was sure it was no joke.
The albino kept musing out-loud. "But if one of us goes first here the other could completely loose there nerve. Or the cops'll call it a murder. If one of us goes today the other will have to wait a few days... Fuck, this is complicated!"
Suddenly the silver head whipped around so pink eyes could meet Itachi's gaze.
"Do you think your impending death can wait a bit so we can get some coffee, work on scheduling?"
Itachi was stunned. "Are you asking me out?"
The man shrugged and made a gesture towards his surroundings. "Well we definitely have something in common don't we?"
This logic was... astounding.
"Sure," muttered Itachi, pushing himself up using the railing as leverage.
"What do I have to lose?"
END PROLOGUE.
...
Yeah, this ones odd. But really fun to write!
Little disclaimer, I am fully aware that suicide is a very serious topic but... This is meant to be comedic. Um... I'm sorry if it offends you for whatever reason I guess. It's not like I'm the first person to have something slightly controversial in a fanfiction though...
Hidan's a little silly and OOC right now.
I am going to write more of this but... I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this. Usually when I start a series I at leat have a vague idea what's going to happen, but not with this one!
Anyway, review please, no flames, yes constructive critisism. Constructive critisim makes me smile! (It's very late here. I'm tired.)
