Kiss me now (part 1)
I'm so sorry about how slow I've been updating. A month and a week, or something like that! I'm so sorry, but I promise I have a very good excuse! 1) I've been writing a book, and 2) When I started writing this chapter and began I Love's new chapter, my power went out! This happened twice in a row! Sucks to be me living in a city with a lot of wind.
As usual, thank you to Fun-Sized-Otaku for getting me up off my ass and motivated to update this! Also, I have the most pathetic English teacher in the world. There are typos in the tests she hands out, and she thinks that cell phone is spelt with one L! Arrgh! She kills me!
So, here's the new chapter of Prov, let's mock it like it's hot!
"Any plans for the Christmas break?"
"Eugh, these costumes are disgusting... not really, you?"
Sasori grimaced at the sparkly white headband in his hands, then at Deidara, who was struggling his way out of a white sequinned longsleeve. Finally, he tugged it off of his head and flopped down on Pain's bed, wearing nothing but his matching sparkly pants, which were basically MC Hammer's parachute pants, only... part of a snowflake costume.
"Yeah... I think I'm going to Germany or somewhere with my brothers and mom... something like that, un." he mumbled. Sasori mimicked Deidara and tore off his shirt and silver bootees and matching gloves, and collapsed onto the floor, running a hand through his dark red hair, vaguely trying to de-sparkle it. They had just come from the Christmas assembly, and this year, Shizune had come up with a genial idea to have each grade represented by a different Christmas-themed icon. Guess who got snowflakes.
"Looking forward to it?" Sasori asked, yawning. Deidara rolled over, cringing, and rubbed his face.
"Like having teeth pulled out. Kill me now." he moaned.
"I must have misheard you, did you say kiss me now?" Sasori said, and Deidara didn't need to open his eyes to know that his roommate was grinning.
"Kill me now, not kiss me now, you stupid-" Deidara felt his hands pulled away from his face, and looked up to see Sasori bending over him, silver sparkles still flecked across his cheeks like freckles, dusting his messy hair.
"You really should enunciate, to prevent these problems." he purred, and leaned down even more, so their noses were almost touching. Deidara stared up into Sasori's heavily lidded brown-grey eyes, not finding the words that normally came so readily to him; 'Get off of me, asshole', 'Leave me alone', 'Don't do it, freaky moron'. He just stared at Sasori, who, obviously enjoying every second of it, smirked and said, 'Close your eyes.' Not used to taking orders, Deidara glared up at him defiantly, but Sasori just chuckled and kissed him on the nose.
"Kidding!" he exclaimed, jumping away and laughing while Deidara rubbed his nose and finally found the words he meant to say earlier.
"Stop doing that to me, you weirdo! It's bad enough you strut around naked half the time, like this morning-"
"Good times." Sasori said fondly.
"-but then you go and do something like that... I mean, my nose? God's sake, you got sparkles all over me!" he said, disgruntled, as he brushed them from his face. Sasori just laughed. Pain entered the room seconds later, wearing nothing of his snowflake costume except the pants, like the two others, and grinned, hands on his hips. "Do you just like sitting on my bed or something?" he asked, nodding at Deidara, who was still in the process of extracting the glitter from his long hair.
"Of course. It's because you're just suck a sexy maniac we can't help but absorb all we can get of your raw... masculinity and hotness from your bed." Sasori said, serious all the way. Deidara gave a snort of laughter which he quickly turned into a gasping sneeze, but Pain ignored it, and struck a ridiculously provocative pose, then wiggled his hips at Sasori, who fell over backwards with laughter.
"I'm sexy and I know it." Pain said, grinning as he strutted across the room and began digging through his chest of drawers.
"What's up now? Lost your tanning lotion, Mr Pale?" Sasori asked.
"You should borrow some of Deidara's- he's got enough sunshine for the both of us." Deidara stuck his tongue out at Sasori, but Pain just shook his head.
"Nope, but a tan would be a nice change. I'm just grabbing my outfit for the dance."
"God, do guys actually use the word 'outfit'?" Deidara asked in surprise, and Pain shot him a sour look, still digging through a drawerful of shirts.
"Well, I do. Mostly because Sasori does, so blame him. Remember, you have to be dressed festively to get in, but you can't wear your grade's outfit." he said, pulling out a tight black longsleeve, blue striped mittens, and black earmuffs.
"Tada!" he said rather half-heartedly after changing, and Deidara and Sasori gave him a slow clap.
"So... what are you supposed to be?" Deidara asked finally, and Pain shrugged.
"Well...they let you in as long as you look wintry, right? So... so... fine, it's just because Hidan stole my costume idea." he grumbled, and folded his arms across your chest.
"Oh, don't worry, Pain. This is an educational school, and I'm sure with time, you and Hidan will learn to share, like good little children..." Sasori said in a mollifying voice.
"Oh, shut up." Pain muttered as he left the room, leaving Deidara and Sasori laughing in his wake.
"So, what are you going as?" Deidara asked, once he'd recovered from his fit of laughter. Sasori grinned.
"It's a surprise. What are you gonna be?" Deidara twirled a strand of his hair.
"A surprise, un." "Right. Let's both change then... and then... the big reveal." Sasori said ominously, drawing another snort of laughter out of Deidara, who agreed, mostly to humour him.
Ten minutes later, they were facing each other in the middle of the room, staring at the other's outfit.
" I... can't believe..." Deidara began, then gave a little shriek of laughter and couldn't continue.
Sasori was wearing black suspenders which were holding up a pair of really tight, bright red leather pants, that lace up at the front and are fringed with white fur all around the hips. He was wearing black Converse with them, a santa hat, and on his chest was 'Are you on my naughty list?' in black Sharpie.
Essentially, a whory Santa.
Sasori crossed his arms and scowled, a smile trying -and succeeding- to spread across his face. "Oh, shut up. Yours isn't exactly serious, is it?" he asked, looking Deidara up and down, for about the fourth time.
His usual tanned skin had been darkened until it was a rather warm umber, and on his face was icing, framing his eyes, over his eyebrows, and lengthening his smile. There were three large icing circles on his bare chest, covered by cookies. 'Because Smarties were too small', he had explained. He was wearing brown skinny jeans and black TOMS, and his hair was sprayed to the limits, trying to impersonate cotton candy, with Candy Canes twirled in and held in place by hair gel.
"So... you're a Gingerbread hottie?" Sasori surmised, gingerly poking one of the cookies.
"Yeah- no, a Gingerbread man, there's a difference, un." Deidara corrected him.
"What kind of icing did you use, to stick it to you?" Sasori asked curiously, and Deidara answered as they left the room, heading for the source of the Christmas music that was echoing through the school's loudspeakers.
"Uh, it's Royal Icing, but the base is false-eyelash glue, which I borrowed from Hinata, that shy girl in..."
"Illusionary art, yeah. I remember, you came in there that one class, asking about how to put optical illusions into chemical gas..." Sasori murmured, taking in all the other costumes they passed on their way to the dance.
There were hoards of 'little miss Clauses', stockings, elves, reindeer, Santas, Jack Frosts, Jill Frosts, and a couple really original ones: Hidan, dressed in a surprisingly provocative Santa's sleigh outfit, complete with a sign around his chest that read, 'The best ride in the world', Itachi's present outfit, which basically consisted of him wearing a red jumpsuit with a zipper down the front and a tag around his neck that said, 'Unzip your dream come true.'
After questioning, it turned out that he was dared to wear it. Then there were a couple predictable 'Dick in a box'es, who were thankfully at least wearing half their underwear. They passed a group of girls who were all dressed as Whos, then a guy as the Grinch.
"Got your costumes?" Tsunade, who was wearing an angel costume, asked brusquely as Sasori and Deidara joined the long line-up to get into the dance, where they could already hear All I want for Christmas pounding through the wall.
"Yup." Deidara gave her a thumbs-up, and Sasori gestured to his chest. Tsunade read it, rolled her eyes, and continued on.
"Right, right, go on in." she said, and waved them through the door.
"This is..." Deidara didn't finish his sentence, just staring around the huge room. The lights were spotlights that circled around the room in red and green and white, Christmas lights strung across the ceiling in all directions, and huge stockings hung on all the walls. Sparkling snowflakes that had to be at least two metres in diameter hung from the ceilings, reflecting light as well as disco balls, and-
"Is it snowing in here?" Deidara asked, gaping at the flecks of white that were slowly sprinkling down from the ceiling high above. Sasori glanced up.
"Yeah, they do this most years. Can't remember how... something to do with the set design team? You could ask Hidan, he's in that class... oh, right, I forgot- this is the first school dance you've been to- you missed Halloween." He shook his head and tutted in shame, and Deidara shoved him lightly as they wandered through the bustling crowd of teenagers all swaying awkwardly to the festive music. Sasori slung an arm around Deidara's waist, steering him towards a corner of the room.
"I'll make sure you have fun." he said, and gave his friend a wicked little smile.
Okay, a pitiably short chapter, I know. But I will update this one again soon, just to finish up the little party, and (in theory), I will get I Love's new chapter up within the next two weeks. I'm sorry about how slow I'm being, but as I mentioned before, I am doing my best to update for you!
