Kakuzu shifted through the CD's in the stereo, examining the colorful labels quietly. Konan had horrible taste in music. She listened to awful country love songs and bands that just screamed nonsense for 90 of the song. (No offense to people that like that stuff ) He tensed slightly as Hidan walked into the room, he didn't want to answer anymore of the teen's questions.
"Kakuzu?" Said man twitched. Dammit! He said he didn't want to answer any questions.
"Yes Hidan?"
"You're not going to find anything good it there."
"…I know." Kakuzu mentally sighed in relief. No questions.
"How come Konan didn't tell me about any of this before?" This time Kakuzu outwardly sighed. He spoke too soon.
"It was to be kept secret until you were a certain age. I think Konan forgot she was supposed to tell you when you turned fourteen."
Hidan pouted at this and folded his arms. "Konan is the forgetful type. She forgot my birthday when I was eight."
"Really? Well, at least you have had birthdays. I've never had one. I don't even know when it is." Hidan looked at Kakuzu in shock for a couple of seconds before grabbing the man's sleeve and pulling towards the kitchen, which was easier said than done.
"What are you doing?" Kakuzu asked as Hidan looked through the pantry.
"We're going to make you a birthday cake since you said you've never had birthday. That's just wrong."
Kakuzu just watched Hidan blankly, not really understanding. "So not having a birthday is a bad thing?"
"Of course! You're supposed to get presents and eat cake on your birthday! It's your day."
"I don't think today is my birthday though."
"That doesn't matter Kuzu-chan! You deserve it!" Kakuzu smiled at this and sat down, watching Hidan get out a bowl and crack some eggs. The teen usually just called him by his name. Kakuzu took it as a good sign that Hidan used his nickname.
(Two hours later)
Kakuzu stared at the pink abomination in front of him. Even though it was an eyesore, the man was still touched by that fact that Hidan had made him a cake in the first place. He stood up and walked over to Hidan, who's back was turned to him. Leaning over, Kakuzu pulled Hidan to him and hugged the teen, who squeaked when Kakuzu grabbed him.
After a couple of seconds, Hidan glanced up at the man and grinned. "What was that for?"
"Just wanted to thank you for the cake."
"You could have just said 'thank you'." Hidan pulled away and looked up at Kakuzu, placing his hands on his hips. The taller male shrugged and returned to his seat, smirking slightly.
"I know. I just thought that it wouldn't have expressed my gratitude as well."
"Well, it's good to see you two getting along!" Both Hidan and Kakuzu jumped, surprised by Konan's voice coming from behind them. Konan regarded them with amusement, groceries in her hands and a tall man standing next to her. The man grinned at the two and his groceries down.
"Hey Kakuzu! It's been a while, huh?" Kakuzu nodded and smiled, taking the bags away from Konan and setting them down on the table.
"Hello Pein."
"Your name's Pein? What kind of weird name is that?" The orange-haired man glared at Hidan, folding his arms.
"It's a man's name, kid. No need to take out your jealousy on me."
Hidan rolled his eyes and walked out of the room, followed by an amused Kakuzu. Konan started to put the food away when Pein suddenly latched onto her waist.
"Hey Beautiful. Wanna go out sometime?"
Konan giggled and pushed Pein off, returning to her work. "Maybe some other time, creepy man."
Pein sighed, defeated, and helped the woman put up the groceries.
Hidan sat on his bed, watching Kakuzu read a magazine and throwing a ball against his wall. He sighed and put the ball down, moving closer to Kakuzu. The older male glanced up from the magazine and frowned at Hidan, who was now fully staring at him with a weird smile.
"What?"
"You do know that's a girl's magazine, right?"
"…Yes. Yes, I do." Hidan's grinned grew at this and he shifted even closer to Kakuzu.
"Then why are you reading it?" Kakuzu sighed and put the magazine down, staring back at Hidan. This staring contest continued until Pein barged into their room.
"Hey lovebirds! Dinner's ready!"
Both Hidan and Kakuzu blushed furiously at this and followed Pein to the kitchen, Hidan cursing the man loudly and chasing after him and Kakuzu following closely, kicking Pein in the shins occasionally. When they finally entered the kitchen, Konan was met with the sight of a very abused Pein.
"What did you two do to him?" Both Hidan and Kakuzu shrugged and sat down at the table, examining their dinner, which had apparently come from McDonald's or some other fast food joint.
"Konan! Help!" Glancing over at the abused male, Konan helped Pein off the floor and sat him down in a chair.
"You're hopeless Pein."
Yes, I know it's short but I got lazy. shrug
Oh well! Any ways! please review! :D
