A/n I'm not getting an overwheling response with this story, but that's okay! I'll keeping working for your reviews! I know the first chapter was a bit slow, but I promise the drama is coming! Enjoy!
"Dei, I'm serious! Why are you talking so fucking much today!" Hidan snapped, looking up from his untouched lunch. Cafeteria food made him sick, so he skipped lunch every day, consoling himself with the fact that in the afterlife Jashin-sama would give him all the food he needed.
Deidara scowled at Hidan's snappy mood. Usually the reason the two got along so well was because nothing got to them, but lately Hidan had been snippier than usual. More… serious.
"Well excuse me!" Deidara snapped right back at his friend. "Geez Hidan, are you really that anxious to get into Kakuzu's pants?" As soon as the words left his mouth the blonde wanted to pull them back in. Hidan slowly turned towards Deidara with a deadly aura.
"This has nothing to do with that motherfucker!" Hidan growled, taking an angry and subconscious bite of the breadstick sitting on his tray. Immediately he spit it back out, becoming even angrier. Hidan wasn't really sure why he was mad. He was really just annoyed. Annoyed at the fact that the person whose attention he wanted, Kakuzu, wouldn't give him the time of day. Yet Orochimaru, who Hidan would like to gauge the eyes out of, wouldn't stop staring at him and making an example of him in class. It was like Orochimaru just liked to see Hidan squirm. He looked over at Deidara who now had a sullen expression and wasn't eating either, which was unlike him.
"Sorry." Hidan grumbled. Deidara smiled easily, forgiving Hidan instantly. The two of them had had their blow ups over the years and forgiving each other was instantaneous.
"S'Okay." Deidara grinned. Then a smirk crept onto his face. "Wanna know what I was gonna tell you now?"
Hidan smiled. "Sure thing, Dei."
"You saw me with Sasori this morning, right?" Hidan nodded in confirmation. How could you miss them? Deidara's bright personality and equally as bright hair, and Sasori's cool demeanor and smoldering eyes that demanded attention in a way different than Deidara did made them hard to ignore.
"Well, we have homeroom together so as usual, I walked with him to class. I guess I said something that really struck a fuse with him 'cause the next thing I knew I was pinned up against the wall!" Deidara laughed, his eyes lighting up at the memory. "And you know what I did next?" Deidara grinned. Hidan shook his head, transfixed with Deidara's words.
"I kissed him." Deidara said triumphantly. Hidan whooped and nearly knocked himself out of his seat, laughing along with Deidara.
"What did he do?" Hidan gasped out, just imagining the scene made his face break out into a grin. Innocent, uke, Deidara stealing a kiss from stick-up-his-ass Sasori? Too good to be true!
"Obviously he pulled away." Deidara said with a small frown, but his face lit up again. "But Hidan, you should've seen how red his face was! And I'm pretty sure I spied a small bulge in those sexy black pants of his." Deidara finished, waggling his eyebrows. Hidan broke out into another round of laughter, earning stares from the tables around them. Deidara and Hidan ate alone every day, except for the rare occasions when Tobi joined them. But that was the way they liked it, alone and free to talk about their little projects.
Hidan put up a general middle finger to every person staring but his breath caught in his throat when he saw Kakuzu watching him. Hidan lowered his hand immediately and grinned brightly at Kakuzu, who rolled his eyes and turned around. Then Hidan noticed Sasori staring at Deidara who was completely oblivious to the redhead. Hidan raised his eyebrows and Sasori seemed to blush before turning around with Kakuzu. Hidan just smiled to himself and watched Deidara out of the corner of his eye.
'Oh Deidara, you deserve so much more than this game we're playing.' Hidan thought bitterly. There was something about the way Sasori looked at Deidara that unsettled him. Like Sasori wanted to really care about Deidara. Like he wanted him, but so much more at the same time. Hidan hated the thought of Deidara missing his real chance with Sasori by sticking with Hidan, who switched boys more often than he sacrificed to Jashin! Deidara deserved a real relationship, but every time he came close, he'd cut it off. Because he wanted to please Hidan.
"You ready for science?" Deidara asked with a wry smile. Hidan looked away from the back of Sasori's head that he didn't even realize he was staring at.
"Am I ever?" Hidan replied sourly.

"Any quessstions classss?" Orochimaru asked when he finished going over the day's topic. The students had finished their tests (Hidan was almost positive he got a solid C!) and the science teacher had moved straight into the next lesson. That was just like Orochimaru, to make everything more strenuous on the students than it needed to be. Hidan was scowling, thinking about how much he'd like to run Orochimaru through with a spear when suddenly the devil was standing right in front of him.
"How about you, . Any quessstions?" Orochimaru's tongue flicked across his pointed eye teeth like a snake's and Hidan barely suppressed a shudder.
"No." He ground out, clenching his jaw and refusing to make eye contact with his teacher. He could practically feel Orochimaru's frown as he walked back towards the front of the classroom. Hidan noticed that his desk was the only one that Orochimaru actually stopped at.
Hidan looked over at Deidara who had a sympathetic look in his eyes. Hidan just huffed and blew a piece of hair out of his face, willing the clock to move faster. Deidara caught his eye again and smiled widely, crossing his eyes and flicking his tongue out at Hidan in an exaggerated imitation of Orochimaru. Hidan snickered behind his hand when he felt another pair of eyes on him. Slowly, he turned to face the front of the room again and met a pair of yellow eyes with black slits in them. Hidan swallowed loudly and slumped down in his seat, wishing Orochimaru would look somewhere else.
But as usual, those creepy eyes stayed trained on him the entire period. When the bell finally rang Hidan couldn't get out fast enough.
"I swear one day I'm gonna vomit all over him…" Hidan grumbled to Deidara as they walked down the hallway to their next class; gym. They called it their 'Golden Class'. You weren't required to think, you could talk all you wanted without being scolded, you didn't have to sit at a desk, and of course there were tons of hot guys. Including Kakuzu and Sasori.
"What are you gonna say when you see Sasori?" Hidan asked. Deidara smiled confidently as if he had been planning it out all day. Which he probably had been.
"I'm gonna pretend it didn't happen. Like I don't even remember. Knowing him and his ego he'll go crazy at the thought of his kiss being forgotten." Deidara told him. Hidan thought it all sounded a bit immature, but realized right away that he would do the same exact thing. Damn, had he really rubbed off on Deidara that badly? Hidan wanted to say something to change his mind, but he couldn't find the words so he settled for walking quietly alongside Deidara.
There would be plenty of conversation in gym class.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Deidara groaned loudly when he opened his gym locker and turned to Hidan.
"Do you have an extra pair of gym shorts? I brought mine home for my mom to wash and…" Deidara trailed off, running a hand through his hair sheepishly. Hidan nodded and tossed a pair of navy blue shorts to Deidara who accepted them graciously.
Hidan shut his locker without even finishing changing and scoped out the locker room for Kakuzu. Hidan wore no shirt and his basketball shorts low on his hips. He knew he looked irresistible and he wanted to show off a little.
"Did you hear me?" Deidara asked suddenly. Hidan shook his head dumbly and Deidara rolled his eyes and repeated himself.
"I said," Deidara huffed. "That I just saw Kakuzu heading towards the showers." Deidara raised his eyebrows expectantly and on cue, Hidan raised his hand in 'goodbye' and 'thanks' and strutted over to the showers.
It was a little odd, really, that Kakuzu was going to the showers before class even started. There was no one ever over there and Hidan felt his heartbeat quicken as he imagined being alone in the showers with Kakuzu. There was no way he was going to miss this opportunity.
Hidan was quietly creeping along the wall that separated the showers from the rest of the locker room. Just as he was about to stick his head around the corner he heard a voice. A male voice. And it definitely wasn't Kakuzu's.
"Nine hundred dollars. I'm not kidding man." A low, scratchy voice said.
"That's completely ridiculous!" That was Kakuzu's voice. He was talking quietly but it was obvious he was getting impatient with whoever was with him. Hidan stood perfectly still and felt his heartbeat quicken. Nine hundred dollars? What was going on in those showers?
"I want my money upfront. Hand it over now, or don't touch the merchandise." The unfamiliar voice said. Kakuzu did something akin to a snort.
"Happy now?" He grumbled. Apparently he had paid up. Hidan knew he should run now, if their business was over the two boys would probably be walking around the corner any second now. But he found his thoughts running so wild through his head he couldn't think straight. That was how he ended up face to face with Kakuzu.
"Hidan." Kakuzu seemed genuinely surprised to see the Jashinist. He even stole a glance at the other boy's barely clothed body, but Hidan didn't even notice. He was too busy looking over Kakuzu's shoulder at Kankuro Sabuku. The other teen with the wild tattoos walked past, smirking at Hidan and brushing his shoulder lightly. Kakuzu was still looking at Hidan intently, searching his eyes for any indication that he knew what was happening.
Hidan looked up at Kakuzu with unblinking eyes before giving him a half-hearted smile and walking away.
