Chapter song: Woke Up Late by Drax Project, Hailee Steinfeld (Kakuzu pov), Buzzin by Alina Baraz (Hidan pov)
His brakes screeched softly at he pulled into a parking space. He'd been to this bar before with the guys, but never in his life had he gone by himself. But it didn't matter, he needed a drink to calm his nerves down.
He walked inside, hands tucked into his jacket pockets. It was just him, so he walked towards the bar. Just a few drinks and his heart would stop beating so fast. He could stop thinking about Hidan. Things might just go back to normal.
Yeah, right.
Sitting right there at the bar, was Hidan.
Kakuzu was frozen in place. Hidan's head turned to see him, and he wore a similarly shocked expression.
Hidan spoke first, "guess I'm not the only one self-medicating tonight, huh?" He smiled sheepishly, holding up his glass. He turned back to the bar, obviously nervous. It all seemed so out-of-character for Hidan.
Kakuzu walked forward, taking the barstool next to him. "Well... you're not wrong." He said with a small smile.
"What'll it be?" The bartender asked.
"A double vodka tonic, if you would." Kakuzu responded.
Hidan looked up, surprised. "You never order anything stronger than beer. Man, you must be really down in the dumps." His sheepish smile turned into his normal, tooth-grinned smile.
Kakuzu shrugged his shoulders, but he couldn't wipe the grin off of his face. Stupid Hidan, making him all giddy.
He took a few good gulps of his drink, the strength of it burning the back of his throat. He resisted the urge to cough a little. Hidan was right, he normally didn't drink this strong, but choking on your drink sure wasn't very manly.
The two were quiet for a moment, staring into their drinks. Around them, music pulsed and people were chatting loudly, but there they sat, quiet as ever.
"I'm sorry." Kakuzu blurted.
Hidan didn't look up. He just cupped his drink, quiet as a mouse. His previous smile was gone, now just a dark shadow.
Kakuzu had practiced this apology a hundred times, but still managed to stammer. "I shouldn't have...have pressed you like that. You didn't want to talk about it and I...pushed you way farther than I should have."
The concern in his voice made Hidan finally raise his head. Kakuzu looked at him properly for the first time that night, and it made his heart sink. Almost a week had passed between them, and yet Hidan had the soft remnant of a black eye and a cut on his left eyebrow.
During their fight, they had been so swept up in anger and passion that hurting each seemed like the least of their worries. But here, under the dark light of the bar and soft glow of neons, Hidan's face wasn't twisted with a cocky grin or anger. It was just emotionless. His clear skin being marred with any type of injury seemed so wrong for some reason. It made Kakuzu want to crawl in a hole and die, seeing the actual bruises he left on him.
Finally, Hidan stirred. "I'm sorry, too. I started the fight, spitting at you like that." He didn't look at Kakuzu. The shadows on Hidan's face seemed to grow, the young man withdrawing into himself even further.
Hidan continued. "That little stunt cost me a week of work, ya know. I'm pretty pissed at myself."
This made Kakuzu raise a brow. "Deidara told me you do some kind of...modeling work, right?"
Hidan paused, and then nodded slowly. "Yeah, can't do anything with my face looking the way it does right now."
Kakuzu's feeling of discomfort only grew. He finished his drink quickly and ordered another one. Hidan just sipped on his drink slowly.
The tattoo artist could feel his face warming, the alcohol making his head buzz. He felt more relaxed now. "I miss seeing you at the shop, you know."
Hidan looked over, a small hint of surprise on his face. "Sorry I haven't been around, it's just... ya know. I...don't want to talk about it."
"It's okay." Kakuzu said. "You don't have to tell me. Never, if you don't want to," he lied. "But I want to be someone that you can rely on if you need any help. I consider you a really close...friend."
Hidan was watching him thoughtfully. "Thank you, Kakuzu." He said in a serious tone.
Kakuzu just smiled a response, his dark skin not hiding the heat in his face very well.
Hidan looked at the small pile of cocktail glasses accumulating on the bar, ice and cherries at the bottom of each empty glass.
"What, you don't like cherries?" Hidan asked playfully.
Kakuzu was relieved at the change of subject. "Not really."
A small smile lit up Hidan's face. "Wanna see something cool?" He said, plucking a cherry from an empty glass. He popped it into his mouth, cherry stem and all.
Kakuzu watched the boy chew on the fruit in a curious daze.
Hidan stuck his tongue out, and right there on the end was the stem, tied into a neat knot.
Kakuzu deadpanned, mouth slightly open. Immediately his mind jumped to dirty thoughts. If Hidan could tie cherry stems into knots, what else could that tongue do? His face reddened horribly, and Hidan broke out into laughter, slapping the bar with his hand.
"Dude, you should see your face right now! Bwa haha!" Hidan roared.
Kakuzu recovered with an angry frown, but Hidan's laughter was contagious, and he couldn't help but start laughing, too.
The barkeep was a good man and kept the drinks coming, and Kakuzu and Hidan continued drinking late into the night, cracking jokes and careening with laughter the whole time.
The bar door slammed shut behind Kakuzu and himself with a loud thwack. It was the middle of the night, and the larger male was slumped against him, arms over shoulders.
Hidan struggled to walk Kakuzu to the older man's car. The tattooed man had gotten way too drunk, and funny enough, Hidan had to take him home now. Oh how the tides have turned.
Hidan fished Kakuzu's keys and wallet out of his pocket with a slight blush, popped open the passenger side and set him in. The guy was a total mess, slurring words and otherwise incomprehensible. He coulda called him a cab but Hidan wanted to make sure the guy got home safe.
It felt weird driving someone else's car, but he had taken his motorcycle to the bar, so no other choice. He grabbed Kakuzu's wallet from the console and read his home address on the driver's license. Not far from here.
The old beater of a car squealed a bit as he pulled up to the apartment complex. Kakuzu lived in an apartment just like Hidan, but it was obviously much older. He somehow managed to get the bigger male out of the car, and walked him to the bottom of the stairs. He glanced at the address on the license again...apartment 3C? This fucker lived on the third floor?!
Hidan looked up at the stairs, dread all over his face as if they were injured mountain climbers looking up at the mountain before them. A single light fixture blinked ominously, not even illuminating the whole stairway. Panic was beginning to bubble up inside Hidan, and he looked around frantically. Kakuzu groaned beside him. There was no way they could make it up three flights of stairs like this.
Just then, his eyes caught a red glow from the apartment's hallway. Of course! There was an elevator for the handicapped, lazy, or...drunk? Perfect. Hidan happily drug Kakuzu towards the elevator and they made their way to the older man's door.
Upon entering, the living room and kitchen area was washed in moonlight, so Hidan didn't bother with the lights.
"Oh...home already?" Kakuzu said, blinking and straightening up a little. Hidan's shoulders relaxed, the weight from them finally lifted.
"Yeah, and I'm exhausted. Where is your room?" He said.
Kakuzu walked forward, opening a door and entering into a dark room, out of sight. Hidan peered into the blackness curiously when his weight suddenly fell forward. He stumbled and he found himself pinned to a bed.
"Kaku...?" Lips crashed into his, cutting off the words. Kakuzu pressed him into the bed, locking him into a fiery kiss.
Hidan's mind went blank as Kakuzu firmly pressed their lips together. A hand grabbed his chin, forcefully pinching his mouth open as Kakuzu's tongue entered greedily. He could taste alcohol on the man's breath and it made his head dance. Heat was welling up inside of him, thrilled at the larger man's touch. Their faces were locked, tongues pulling and pushing. Kakuzu nibbled his lower lip playfully and a moan escaped from Hidan's lips.
A moan...? No. NO!
Hidan pushed, hard. Kakuzu stopped his attack, going still. Hidan couldn't even see Kakuzu's face in the black room but it didn't matter. He had the room to move since Kakuzu backed off, so he took his hands and PUSHED.
Free, he hopped off the bed and ran out of the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him. He was heaving, excited, but also frightened. He crumpled to the floor, back touching the door. He sat there, shocked for a moment, waiting for his breathing to calm down.
Finally, it slowed, but his heartbeat still hammered in his ears.
Kakuzu had kissed him.
More than that, he narrowly missed a dangerous situation. Well...maybe not that dangerous.
Hidan's mind was reeling, and his body still felt fired up. He needed to calm down. He wasn't surprised that he had reacted to Kakuzu that way...he had liked the older man since the first time he saw him without a mask at Pain's house party.
Hidan thought back to that first time he had lain eyes on him. Kakuzu was a work of art. Tan and handsome, with deep black tattoos stretching all over his body. The stitches gave him a unique trademark that thrilled Hidan for some reason. Not to mention that, but he always seemed to wear shirts that showed off his bulging arm and shoulder muscles, with a strong collarbone and just a wisp of chest hair that always peeked out. He had deep green eyes and most people didn't know of it because of his work mask, but a brilliant, wide smile when you could manage a laugh out of him.
Hidan stared at the ceiling, black in the dark apartment. Oh course he'd fallen for the guy. He was just stunned that his feelings were reciprocated, even after they had beaten the shit out of each other. And what did he do? Ran away. Fucking figures.
He shook his head. He was tired, head still fuzzy from drinking. A headache was pounding in his ears and he slumped to the floor, absolutely exhausted. He decided to take a nap before calling a cab home...
Hidan awoke slowly, feeling something prodding into his side.
"...dan. Hidan. Hey. Heyyy." The voice whispered.
He blinked, and the first thing that he saw were those deep green eyes, staring down at him from above.
"Uhhh...?" Hidan stammered.
Kakuzu snorted a laugh. "I can't believe you fell asleep out here. Weren't you freezing?"
Hidan glanced around. He was in the hallway of Kakuzu's apartment, now lit with streams of morning light. "I dunno." He croaked.
He sat up and groaned. His body ached horribly from the awkward sleeping position he had fallen into. A hand appeared in front of him and he glanced up.
Kakuzu was smiling, holding a mug of coffee in one hand, the other outstretched to him. He was wearing his usual tank top with sweatpants, hair pulled into a messy bun.
He took the offer and got up from the hard floor. He groaned a complaint, stretching his back and hearing a few pops.
"Want some coffee?" Kakuzu offered.
Hidan eye-balled the mug of hot liquid in Kakuzu's hand. "Meh...coffee's kinda gross." He said.
Kakuzu looked thoughtful. "I can throw in some Bailey's for you."
Hidan's eyes lit up at the statement. Mmm...irish cream. "Yes, please."
Kakuzu walked back to the kitchen and Hidan made himself comfy on the couch in the living area. He relaxed into the soft cushions, half relieved and half pissed that he hadn't bothered to look around for something other than the hard floor to sleep on last night.
A mug was offered to him, along with some painkillers.
"For your back." Kakuzu insisted.
Hidan gratefully accepted, throwing back the pills and sipping on the hot coffee. The cream made it taste delightful.
"Thanks." he beamed. "Man, last night was crazy. We were out so fucking late. The bar practically had to throw us out."
Kakuzu snickered. "Yeah? I can't really remember anything from late last night, I got totally shit-faced. And I never drink like that..." He trailed off.
Kakuzu walked back to the kitchen bar to get a refill on his coffee. Hidan observed him from behind, watching as his shoulder blade moved with his arm, easily visible through the tight tank top. Just then, everything from last night came rushing back to him.
He had run out of the bedroom and passed out on the floor. But seeing Kakuzu now...now was his chance to make it up to him.
Hidan set his coffee down and walked quietly towards the taller man. His heartbeat was rising in his chest. He wrapped his arms around the large torso, settling his face into the soft, warm fabric of Kakuzu's shirt. He breathed deeply, inadvertently taking in his scent. Kakuzu stiffened beneath him.
"Did you forget...everything from last night?" Hidan's voice called out carefully.
Kakuzu turned around in his embrace, a look of confusion written across it. Hidan answered it by planting his lips on Kakuzu's, melting into the larger man's arms.
Kakuzu's eyes went wide for a moment, then closed as he returned the kiss. Unlike last night, this kiss was soft. It was slow, and passionate. Kakuzu set his coffee on the counter behind him without opening an eye, and curled his strong arms around the smaller boy. They pulled apart for breath.
Hidan's heart was racing now, their warm bodies pressed together. He looked up and saw that Kakuzu was slightly panting, his eyes half-lidded and filled with lust. The sight sent a chill of pleasure down Hidan's spine, and he leapt forward, eagerly tasting Kakuzu again.
This time, Kakuzu's mouth parted and their tongues fought for dominance. Hidan pushed into the taller man, but eventually gave way and let Kakuzu's tongue fill his mouth. Kakuzu continued leaning into Hidan, and his hands started gripping him tightly, desperate for more. Hidan bucked his hips in response, grinding his hard dick into Kakuzu.
The older man shuddered, a moan escaping through their kiss. Hidan pulled back from Kakuzu's needy lips and grinned.
"Come on." He said, breaking free of Kakuzu's hold. He led him by the hand into Kakuzu's bedroom, swinging the door open and jumping on the bed. He shuffled back on his elbows and looked up at Kakuzu's still panting figure. He stood there, his erection obvious through his sweatpants. Hidan bit his bottom lip.
But Kakuzu didn't move.
Hidan was desperate for his touch, waiting there on the bed. "What's wrong?" He said.
Kakuzu's flushed face glanced away, embarrassed to meet Hidan's steely gaze.
And then it all clicked. Kakuzu had never been with a man before.
Hidan leaned forward, crawling down the bed and stood on his knees, almost face-level with Kakuzu. He brought his hand forward, catching Kakuzu by the cheek and bringing his face forward. He looked into those deep green, troubled eyes.
Hidan spoke softly. "Do you like me, Kakuzu?"
Kakuzu met his gaze calmly. "Of course I do."
Hidan smiled. "Then come here, big boy." He grabbed the front of Kakuzu's shirt and drug him forward so that Kakuzu was straddling him on the bed. "I'll help you out."
Hidan's hand was on the back of Kakuzu's head, and he brought it down, eager for another kiss. They moaned into each other, grinding their hips together. Hidan snaked his hand down and stroked Kakuzu through his sweatpants. Kakuzu's lips left as he moaned, bucking into the touch and wanting more. Hidan obliged, swiftly undoing the drawstring and guiding his hand down.
Kakuzu's member was hot and pulsing.
Hidan couldn't help but let out a laugh. Kakuzu looked down, obviously confused.
"You're fucking packing down here." Hidan said, a stupid grin on his face.
Kakuzu rolled his eyes. In the brief pause, Hidan ripped his shirt off, along with his pants. Kakuzu's gaze turned back to the smaller boy, roaming over every inch of his body.
Hidan's grin grew even wider. "C'mere."
He softly grabbed the back of Kakuzu's neck, guiding him to his chest. Kakuzu took the hint, enveloping one of the soft nipples in his hot mouth. Kakuzu flicked his tongue and nibbled softly, feeling the nub grow erect in his mouth.
"Harder." Hidan moaned.
Kakuzu looked up, seeing the dizzy pleasure on Hidan's face. He sucked the nipple hard, grabbing the other one between two fingers and pinching. Hidan's back arched into the touch. "Good..." he moaned.
Kakuzu finally sat up, taking his clothes off. Hidan watched in awe as Kakuzu's body revealed itself, deep tan and covered with black and grey tattoos. There was hair on his chest and a neat line that trailed down...there. Hidan was dizzy with excitement. Kakuzu had a huge cock. Seeing it made him tremble, he was tired of waiting.
He flipped over, reaching for Kakuzu's night stand drawer. He opened it and found a bottle of lube. "Good boy." He murmured to himself.
He tossed it to Kakuzu. "Loosen me up a bit first, ok?"
Kakuzu grabbed the bottle, nodding in understanding. He leaned over Hidan's frame, dabbing some lube on his fingers. He inserted one finger slowly, then started sliding it in and out at a slow pace.
"Another." Hidan demanded. Kakuzu added another digit, which made Hidan's fingers curl into the bed. He had forgotten how goddamn huge this guy's hands were. He moaned, feeling Kakuzu start to thrust his fingers deeper. The pace sped up, and Hidan was mewling and moaning, feeling every inch of his fingers.
"Ah... ah... now, curl your fingers a bit..." Hidan said.
Kakuzu listened, slowing his pace and started making scissoring motions, shifting his fingers up and around the wet cavern.
"AHH!" Hidan yelled, buckling over and throwing his head into the pillow. "Right...there..." he sputtered.
Kakuzu had found his bundle of nerves, and he started thrusting his fingers in and out wildly, grazing it on every push. Hidan was moaning, gripping the pillow as hard as he could. The heat quickly exploded within him, and he came hard onto the bed.
He laid there, panting for breath.
It took a moment for him to catch his breath, and he looked up to see Kakuzu, flushed, and waiting. Sweat dappled his tan body, gleaming in the light.
Hidan dropped off the side of the bed, coming around to sit on his knees.
Kakuzu realized what he was planning. "Hidan, you don't have to-" but Hidan cut him off, grabbing his bulging and veiny dick.
"Shhh" he murmured into the hot member, the vibrations from his lips making Kakuzu tremble. He started working the shaft with his practiced hand, then lapped at the tip with his tongue. Kakuzu's knees buckled and he moved backwards onto the bed, Hidan pinning him down. Hidan started working him hungrily, sucking him off. He tasted pre-cum and felt his own dick growing hard again. His hand and mouth bobbed up and down, eager to please. He moved quickly, and just as soon removed his mouth, wiping the spit drooling down his chin.
Kakuzu growled with frustration. Hidan grinned back at him, and then tossed himself on the bed, lying back. Kakuzu quickly topped him, and Hidan spread his legs invitingly.
Kakuzu aligned his cock with Hidan's teased entrance, then pushed slowly. Hidan squirmed a bit at the pressure, and Kakuzu stopped.
"No...keep going." He demanded, eyes shut. Kakuzu continued pushing slowly until he was completely in. A little yelp escaped Hidan and Kakuzu looked at him, concerned.
Hidan opened one squinted eye and smiled. "Just...give me a sec." He took a few deep breaths. He wasn't lying, Kakuzu was fucking huge. A moment later, Hidan forcibly relaxed and nodded.
Kakuzu started thrusting, slowly at first, then building momentum. He gripped Hidan's thighs tightly, but the pain just made Hidan more excited. As the pace built, Kakuzu grunted, bucking his hips wildly. Hidan moaned, begging him to go faster. Moans and slapping sounds filled the room, making Hidan's head dance.
"Kuzu, fuck me harder!" Hidan groaned. Kakuzu smirked at the nickname, flipping Hidan onto his hands and knees. He gripped the boy's hips hard, earning a grunt from Hidan. Kakuzu thrusted into the younger boy, moving in different directions. Suddenly, Hidan cried out, back buckling. He had found his weak spot. Kakuzu began thrusting into his prostate, fucking him wild.
Hidan was bent over the bed, dripping in sweat and pleasure. Kakuzu was ramming his prostate and he felt his elbows buckle. The larger male didn't miss a beat, grabbing Hidan's wrists and pinning them behind his back, bringing him level again. One of Kakuzu's large hands crossed his wrists together painfully while the other grabbed his hip, swinging it back and forth. Kakuzu continued ramming into him.
Hidan was mewling and moaning with pleasure. He felt his belly grow hot and knew he was about to come. "I...cant...!" He groaned, then came hard, all over his stomach. His clenching muscles sent Kakuzu over the edge as well. Hidan felt him give one last powerful thrust and tremble as he came, deep inside.
They fell onto the bed, sweaty and breathless. Hidan felt Kakuzu's warm arms pull him into an embrace. He relaxed into the hug, resting his head on Kakuzu's heaving chest. Hidan nestled in, enjoying the strong arms that held him close.
"I like you too, Kuzu."
