Chapter Three
Deep and Unrequited
--
Sasori stood silently outside the school's entrance, unlit cigarette hanging from his chapped lips. He waited for his two friend's who would soon burst through the doors, watching the kids walk around the high school court yard, laughing and chatting with each other. His gaze was drawn to a certain blond, making him smile slightly when he realized the blond was looking at him. He was about to wave when-
"Sasori!" A bright blue blur tackled the red-head, making him twitch as he was sent to the ground.
"Get off me, Kisame!" Sasori growled, attempting to push the blue-haired boy off him. "I swear to god, if you don't get off me…!"
"Yeah, yeah, I got it!" Kisame laughed, happily getting off of his friend to stand next to Kakuzu as Sasori stood and brushed himself off.
"Damned shark…" Sasori muttered, glaring at Kisame as he grabbed his bag. "Can we just go to your house already? I would rather get away from here…" He turned to Kakuzu, fishing out his lighter so he might taste the sweet nicotine he so desired.
Kakuzu chuckled, smirking slightly beneath his mask. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," the masked man murmured, adjusting his bag before turning to walk away from school, only to be confronted by his object of pain and affection: Hidan.
"So, you three are going to your house?" Hidan murmured, smirking seductively, his eyes half-lidded. "Then you'd have no problem with us tagging along then, right?" he said, gesturing to Deidara, Itachi and himself.
"Of course-"
"Not!" Kisame finished for Kakuzu, earning a confused look from his friend. His eyes silently pleaded. Kakuzu knew of the secret affection Kisame had for the emotionless Uchiha… Great.
"Yeah, fine, whatever," Kakuzu muttered, narrowing his eyes as Hidan's lit up.
"Thanks, Kuzu!" Hidan said happily, darting forward and pecking Kakuzu on the cheek before following Sasori and Kisame, leaving Kakuzu to stand there, stunned.
"He does that, un!" Deidara giggled, getting behind Kakuzu and pushing him forward, trying to make sure he didn't get left behind. "You'll have to get used to it, Hida-kun will be sneaking kisses when you least expect it!"
Kakuzu nodded silently, walking on his own alongside Deidara. "Hey…" Kakuzu murmured. "Why are you and Hidan playboys, anyways?"
Deidara looked at the ground, a wistful smile on his face. "Me because it helps dull the pain of having an unrequited love, Hidan because… well, I honestly don't know, un."
"But you're his best friend, aren't you?" Kakuzu asked, a bit confused. "Wouldn't you be the one person he'd tell?"
Deidara turned to look at Kakuzu sadly. "Hidan is a much more private person than you give him credit for, he can actually be really deep when he wants to be. Which isn't a lot, un!" the blond laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
The two walked in companionable silence for a while, just following the four ahead of them. Kakuzu chanced a look at Deidara to find the blondes blue eyes glued to a certain red-head. Kakuzu smiled beneath his mask.
"Hey, the person you like… he wouldn't happen to be a certain Akasuna Sasori, could he?" Kakuzu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How-when-…un…" Deidara finally murmured, blushing furiously.
"Hey, Kakuzu! Come unlock the door!"
Kakuzu placed a hand on Deidara's shoulder. "Then your love isn't unrequited," he murmured, walking ahead to the rest of the group. Deidara just stood there, his brain taking a second to assess the new information. When it did, a bright blush spread across his cheeks, and his lips curled up into a wide grin. His love wasn't unrequited…
