"I hate math..."

"I know me too..."

Hidan sighed and looked at Kakuzu, who was sitting on the grass next to him, knees up to his face, arms resting on his knees, just like him. Hidan looked over at Sasori and Deidara talking and cuddling together a few feet back.

He sighed and turned his head awat. "Go get a room...damn."

Deidara blushed. "Oh shut up!" he hugged Sasori tight. "You're just jealous." he argued and then whinned, snuggling closer to his danna.

Hidan rolled his eyes and layed down in the grass, closing his eyes. "I think she forgot about me again..."

Kakuzu laughed. "You sure you don't wanna ride home? My mom's making ribs..."

Hidan's eyes shoot open, and he sat up fast, looking striaght at him. "Ribs?"

Kakuzu looked at him and blinked, then laughed. "Yeah, spicy ones at that." he explained, then licked his lips thinking about it, looking over at the sky, daydreaming.

Hidan smiled faintly. "Oh hell yeah" he shouted, realizing how excited he was, he turned red. His smile faded and he looked away.

Kakuzu laughed. "Okay, is your mom okay with that?"

Hidan smiled faintly, and looked over at him, only blushing a slight pink now. "I think she won't care where I am, as long as I'm home by midnight." he explained, laughing after he said so.

Kakuzu giggled and looked down the road, seeing a familar car.

"Hey, Deidara, your ride is here!" he shouted.

Deidara jumped out of Sasori's lap. "Oh shit!" he shouted. He picked up his things while running to the oncoming car. He waved back at Sasori and blew him a kiss as he opened the car door. "See ya, danna!" he yelled, then got in the car.

Sasori giggled and got up himself. He watched the car roll bye, with Deidara watching Sasori as he rolled past him, fae pressed up against the window. Sasori smiled and looked at Hidan and Kakuzu.

"See ya later guys." he said and he pulled out his keys and spun them around his finger a couple times. He walked off to the parking lot and got in his old camry.

Hidan watched him get in his car. "Why can't he just take Deidara home if he has a car?"

Kakuzu shrugged, looking over at Hidan. "Something about Deidara's parents hating Sasori."

Hidan looked at him confused. "What did he do? Give him a nasty splinter?" he said, laughing after he said it.

Kakuzu laughed too. "Nooo, because he's a smart ass...and he's with Deidara..." Kakuzu sighed. "homophoes and stuff, ya know?" He looked over at Hidan, who was looking at him. He went red and looked away when he looked over at him.

"But..." Hidan looked over at Kakuzu. "His mom..."

"Oh, his mom doesn't care, she thinks its sweet..." he said, then shurrged. "his dad, well..." he looked over at his feet "he hates it" he said, laughing nervously, he looked back over at Hidan, who was still red.

Kakuzu tilted his head, but let it slide. He looked down the abandoned road, and sighed. "Why must she take forever?" he complained.

Hidan looked over at him, then past him at the road. He blinked then shrugged, then layed back down, using his hands as his pillow. He looked up at the flowing clouds, wondering why they moved so fast, yet barely moved at all...

Kakuzu looked over at him, his hair gently moving with the cooling breeze, wondering why he was always so peaceful when he was alone with him, and silent when around him and his friends. He sighed and smiled faintly.

He looked at the road ahead of him, feeling the cooling breeze brush over his skin. He took a deep breath, taking in the smell of the breeze, closing his eyes so all his brain sensed was scent. He sighed, opening his eyes, wishing to see the world as a more beautiful place...

He looked back at Hidan, who was snoreing softly. Kakuzu giggled and scooted over closer to him, looking down at his face. He tilted his head, looking at his peaceful, sleeping face. His eyes shifted down to his odd necklace that he wore everyday. He tilted his head the other way, reaching out and touching the necklace.

Hidan jumped and thier heads wacked together. Hidan yelped, one hand grabbing his sore head, while the other grabbed his necklace.

Kakuzu held his head in pain, whincing, squeezing his eyes shut to somehow help the pain slip away.

Hidan opened and eye and looked at him. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" he shouted, turning a slightly red color.

Kakuzu whinced at the yelling and opened on eye to look at him. "Dude, I'm sorry, God! oww!" he responded, whincing in pain once more.

Hidan stared at him confused. "You touched me while I was SLEEPING!" he shouted. He wanted to seem pissed, and not excited. "And you're sorry?" he shouted.

"Dude, calm down, I was just looking at your necklace." Kakuzu explained, holding his head up and opening his other eye.

Hidan's face relaxed, and he looked down at the necklace he was grasping in his hand. "Oh...hmm.." he said, voice a tad calmer now. He looked back up at Kakuzu. "Then why was your face so near mine?" he yelled in anger.

"I..." Kakuzu said, he blinked, confused "Uh...I dunno, geez!" he yelled.

Hidan sighed and put his hand down, glaring at Kakuzu. "This is my Jashin necklace." he explained, holding it up to him. "I pray with it...happy now?" he put the necklace down and held it in both hands, putting his head down, closing his eyes.

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, looking up at the clouds "Oh whatever." he said.

When he didn't hear Hidan respond, he looked down at him, letting his hands fall by his sides. Hidan was still motionless, still holding that odd necklace.

"Hmm?" Kakuzu tilted his head. "Hidan?"

Hidan still didn't respond.

Kakuzu sighed. "Whatever..." he said, and looked down the empty road.

After a while, Hidan opened his eyes and lifted his head and looked over at Kakuzu, who was staring down the road.

Hidan sighed and let his necklace hang down, then pulled his knees to his chest, hugged his legs and rested his left cheek on his knees, away from Kakuzu. He took a deep breath and sighed, waiting for anything to happen.


He felt Kakuzu shove his shoulder, inturupting his sweet dream...

"Come on, it's time to go."

Hidan lifted his head to see Kakuzu getting into his mom's old pick-up. He blinked and picked up his things and walked to the car as he was told. He looked into the car to see Kakuzu right up next to his mom in the seat next to her.

"Put your stuff in the back and scooch in." Kakuzu explained to him, watching his every move.

Hidan turned a light pink and did what he was told. He slammed the door shut next to him, and scootched away from Kakuzu as far as he could, so they would have room to move their arms around. But, he didn't like doing that very much...

"Now buckle up" his mom told him. She started to shift gears, and drive off as Hidan struggled to buckle up. Kakuzu laughed as he watched him suffer.

"Here, let me help you." He said before grabbing his hand and the buckle. Hidan turned red and looked up at him, Kakuzu was guiding his hand and buckle down so he could buckle up, and not looking into his embarrassed eyes, even though he felt them staring at him.

Kakuzu smiled, let his hand go and looked up at him, and frowned. Hidan blinked and looked away, shoving his hands down his pocket.

Kakuzu's mom smiled and looked over at him. "So, Hidan is it?" she asked, then looked back at the road, braking when she did so.

"Uh..." Hidan looked down at his lap as the car lurched forward to stop. "Yeah..." He tilted his head to look over at her, then he lifted his head. "Hidan..." then he looked at the cars in the line, waiting for the singal, waiting...

Kakuzu's mom sighed and sat back in her seat, letting her hands slide down to the bottom on the stirring wheel. "damn.." she mumbled. She looked over at Hidan, who was looking at his feet now. "So...you like ribs?"

Hidan smiled and looked over at her. 'Yes, ma'am, I...I love them."

Kakuzu's mom laughed "Don't call me ma'am, I'm not that old." she explained, laughing more, looking back at the cars ahead, waiting... "Well that's good." she sighed and drove forward with the cars, following the crowd.

"Okay..." Hidan blinked, he didn't know what to call her now. He gulped and looked back at his feet and wiggled his toes, smiling faintly, wanting some yummy ribs right now...
