Cami: Once again feel free to read and review. I'd love to hear from you all. If I get any commentary and you all want it to continue I might do so.


A few months later...

Kakuzu and Hidan continued talking after the night that they officially met each other. Things were going pretty well. They'd gotten to know each other and hung out on a regular basis. Hidan even let Kakuzu stay the night with him a few times. Now they'd hardly go more than a day with out talking to each other.

Hidan grabbed the towel off of his shoulder and started to dry his hair. As he walked out of his bathroom he finished the coffee that was in his mug. It was still luke warm since he made it before he went to bathe. As he put his mug down he heard his phone go off. From the ring tone he knew it was a text message from Kakuzu.

A small smile crept across his face as he opened his phone. 'I don't have classes today. Want to do something?' He read to himself. Hidan quickly text back, 'Sure. Do you have classes tomorrow?' If Kakuzu didn't have classes the following day then Hidan would be free to do what ever with him without having to worry about interfering with his schedule. Not long after he asked he received his reply. It was as he hoped.

Kakuzu looked out the windshield of his car. He still couldn't believe that Hidan lived in this beautiful condo. He got out and pushed his hair back out of his face then headed inside.

Hidan lived on the ninth floor and his apartment was on the west side. Kakuzu could remember the first night that he spent there. The sunset that peered through the ten foot wide sliding glass door was beautiful and the pale white drapes kept just enough light out to let them see it with out going blind. That was roughly two months ago though.

The elevator dinged as it reached Hidan's floor and Kakuzu stepped out. Hidan's apartment wasn't that far from the elevator. He knocked on the door and waited.

Hidan heard a faint knock on the door and grabbed royal blue tank top and started pulling it over his head. He opened the door and was soon facing a shocked Kakuzu. "Hey." He said softly as he stepped aside and pulled his top down over his athletic, flat stomach and torso. Kakuzu's face flushed a bright pink. "Uh hi?" He said walking inside and taking a seat on one of the bar stools.

"Sorry about that. I wasn't expecting you over quite this soon." Hidan said softly then cleared his throat. "So did you have something in mind for what you wanted to do today? Or were you gonna leave it up to me again."

Kakuzu was still blushing some, "I was going to let you pick because I really don't have anything in mind."
"Oh. Uh...Alright. In that case. Do you have swim trunks in your car? If not I might have a pair that fit you. We could go to the beach."
"I'm gonna have to borrow from you." Kakuzu said softly.

Hidan shrugged some and walked into his room. A few moments later he returned and tossed a pair of swim trunks at him. "Think that'll work 'Kuzu?" Kakuzu nodded.

Kakuzu and Hidan laid a towel down on the sand. Due to it being spring, not alot of people were there. Most just waited for the summer to roll around.

Kakuzu looked out across the water. "It's actually nicer out now than it normally is when I come. Plus I shouldn't have to worry about getting sunburned." He looked at Hidan, who probably had to worry about getting burned alot more than he did.

The two headed out to the water and swam around, trying to let their bodies get used to the temperature. Before long they were splashing around and acting like kids. Jumping on each other and splashing about.

It seemed as if only two hours had passed when Hidan went up and checked the time. "Wow..."
Kakuzu looked up, "What is it?"
"It's two thirty...We've been here since nine o'clock."
"Oh wow."
"Yeah. So you want to go back to my place and rinse off. Then we could get lunch."
Kakuzu walked back up the shore. "Sounds good."

The day had been perfect so far. It was already seven o'clock. Hidan had taken Kakuzu to the beach, to lunch at Olive Garden, they went to see a movie after and were now on there way to dinner. The only thing that could make the day better is if they were dating.

Hidan put his hand on Kakuzu's thigh. "Relax. I thought you were enjoying yourself."
Kakuzu looked up at him. "I am. I was just thinking...I've had a really amazing day with you."
"Well I'm glad that you enjoyed the day so far." Hidan said with a grin.

After a couple more minutes they parked in the parking lot of The Melting Pot. Kakuzu's eyes widened some. This was one of the most expensive restaurants in town. Maybe Hidan was starting to have feelings for him too, he could only hope.

The two walked in and the hostess asked how many. Hidan shook his head, "Actually I've got a reservation. It's under Hidan." The hostess grinned as she found his name. "Alright follow me."

Kakuzu watched a few of the couples that were around. For the most part the tables were all dimly lit. It gave each couple privacy and enhanced a romantic feel. He only noticed the latter when they had been seated and the hostess left. "This is amazing already." Kakuzu said softly. "What type of food do they serve here?"

Hidan grinned some. "It's a fondue style restaurant. You get skewers and large platters of meat and veggies then you dip it in cheese or sauce. I normally stick to just cheese though."
"Oh wow. Sounds great."
"It is" Hidan's smile widened. "I've found from previous experiences though it's not as fun to do alone."

Before long they had a large platter of cubed beef, pork, and chicken. Next to it was a smaller platter of varied vegetables and a small pot of cheese. Hidan pressed his skewer threw a piece of chicken and dipped it in the cheese. Kakuzu did the same with a piece of beef. The blonde looked at his dark haired counter part and offered him the piece of chicken. He took the bite and then offered his beef.

This continued for a few hours. 'I guess now I know for sure.', Hidan thought to himself. Just as he was thinking it the waitress that brought them their food came back. "Would you two like any dessert?", She asked clicking her pen. Hidan looked at Kakuzu. "Would you like some?" he asked. Kakuzu shook his head. "I'm stuffed."

When Hidan pulled up to his building he looked at Kakuzu for a moment then got out of the car. Before Kakuzu could open his door Hidan was there and did it for him.

As Kakuzu got up he found himself lips to lips with Hidan. The blonde's hand gently found it's way to his cheek. Kakuzu back away some. "What was that for?" His cheeks were a bright red and when he had the courage to look at Hidan he found that he too was blushing brightly.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Hidan said softly looking down. The brunette closed the car door and shook his head. "It's fine."

The blonde looked at him alittle confused. "I swear it's fine. I've actually been trying to figure out if you felt the same." Kakuzu said softly.

As they made their way to Hidan's apartment they were kind of quiet. Once they closed the door to his home though Kakuzu pushed him up against the door. His lips caressing Hidan's neck and Hidan's eyes widened some before closing as he tryed to pull away some. A soft moan escaping his lips.

Kakuzu found his way to Hidan's lips and muttered something as they broke away. "What'd you say 'Kuzu?" Hidan asked panting slightly.
"I said 'be mine' dammit. Listen."
Hidan grinned. "Who's else would I be?" Kakuzu kissed him again as he felt Hidan pulling his shirt up.

The two made their way to Hidan's room, bumping into many things on the way. Hidan shoved Kakuzu onto his bed and started to pull his own shirt off. As he did Kakuzu pulled him down onto the bed and started to undress him farther.

Kakuzu woke up and looked next to him. Hidan was curled up partially on his chest. He smiled to himself and kissed his forehead. 'It's kinda a relief to know that we're together.' He thought to himself and gently got up, trying not to wake his new found lover.

Kakuzu turned on the water. Thankfully it wasn't like his place. It didn't take forever for the water to heat up. He stepped in and let the water run down his body. Tilting his head back he let the water smooth out his hair.

After a few minutes passed he felt arms wrap around his waist. "Morning 'Kuzu." Hidan said biting his ear softly. Kakuzu blushed some. "Morning hun."

"I was thinking about something a few nights ago." Hidan started. "How much more do you have left for school?"

Kakuzu looked at him over his shoulder. "Two years. Why?"
"Cause I'm going to pay for the rest of it. And we're also going to move you in here."
"That was desided quickly." Kakuzu muttered.
"Well do you object to any of it?"
"No but we'll work on the details later."
"Alright."

Kakuzu turned around and looked at Hidan. "How'd you get in here with out me noticing anyway?" Hidan grinned up at him, wrapping his arms around his waist. "I'm just ninja like that."
