Chapter 9
Deidara was practically clinging to Hidan by the end of the movie, both out of fear and love. Hidan was completely in awe. That was one of the best movies he's ever seen. Hidan stood up and stretched while the credits were rolling and motioned for Deidara to do the same. They started to make their way out of the aisle…
He stopped for a second and looked next to him. Hidan looked Kakuzu right in the eye. Hidan's magenta gaze told Kakuzu
'I don't need you anymore… Nor do I want anything to do with you… I'm my own person'
They stared each other down for a moment. At first Kakuzu was shocked by Hidan's apperiance, but then he looked slightly hurt. He was jealous that someone other than himself could make Hidan happy.
Hidan yawned slightly and grabbed Deidara's hand and dragged him out of the aisle. Once out of the theater, Deidara let go of a deep breath.
"That was some extreme tension un."
"Not really, half the time, that was how Kakuzu and I communicated."
Hidan let go of Deidara's hand as they walked out of the theater and into Hidan's car. They rode in silence for a while in the crap-mobile until Deidara had a question;
"Hey Hidan… Have you… moved on from Kakuzu yet you think?"
"Not completely… I don't feel anything for him, but I still respect him. See, Kakuzu and I were really opposites on multiple things… But with him, I experienced so many new things, and some of those I still long for. I know I'll get over it soon though. I know however I'm very glad I don't have to deal with the drama anymore…"
Hidan smiled lightly and Deidara looked out the window again into blackness. He knew he had a chance now. Hidan pulled into the driveway just past midnight and the two walked into the house and plopped down onto the couch.
Hidan put his arms across the back of the couch and put his head back and closed his eyes and sighed. His head popped back up when he felt Deidara's lean lightly against his shoulder. Deidara was asleep and Hidan smiled to himself and wrapped a warm arm around his best friend…
Once Deidara was sure Hidan was asleep, he opened his eyes and gently replaced his small body with a pillow from the couch. He stared longingly into Hidan's sleeping face and leaned down slightly
…
Deidara gently placed his lips against Hidan's…
