Hello lovelies~! How does another chapter sound? Good? Bad? Meh? Hopefully good xD

I've found that when I listen to Nobody Cry by Nickelback and Stand in the Rain by Superchick while writing this, the ideas flow better, albit they're a little more on the angst side, but oh well ^-^ I originally was going to write this to be a Romance/Angst but thought it would be better placed as a Romance/Hurt/Comfort. Keep that in mind when you read the super sad parts! xD

Anyways, enjoy~

"Hey, Hidan, un?"

Hidan looked up from his magazine with a raised brow. "Yeah, Dei?"

Deidara looked down with a pained look on his face. "Can I stay over tonight?"

Both teens were at Hidan's house sitting on his bed reading magazines. Deidara seemed distant and shaky at school that day; Hidan knew something was wrong so he insisted that they go to his house and hang out for a few hours before going to game night at Pein's house.

Hidan cocked his head to the side with a confused face. Deidara didn't usually ask to stay the night unless he was having more trouble than usual with Hideki or Itachi.

The Jashinist nodded slowly before putting a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder. "Is everything okay, Blondie?" Hidan offered the blond a reassuring smile.

Deidara returned the smile halfheartedly before dropping it and shaking his head. "I-I just need you right now, Hidan, un."

The silver haired teen nodded and gently embraced his friend. Deidara couldn't hold back anymore and began sobbing into his friend's chest.

"Shhh, Dei. What's wrong?" Hidan was worried about his friend. Deidara was like a brother to him and to see him in so much pain made is heart ache.

-Flashback-

"So, I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Sasori held his boyfriend in his arms smiling down at his sparkling azure eyes.

"Un!" Deidara stood on his tip toes and pecked the redhead on the lips before saying their goodbyes.

Deidara unlocked his front door and prayed Hideki wouldn't notice he was home yet. He quietly crept upstairs and slipped into his bedroom.

Deidara instantly paled. On his bed was Hideki with a gun.

Deidara was trembling with fear. He tried to open the door only to find that it was jammed.

"Hello, bitch." Hideki's voice was cold and hate filled. "Come here. Now."

Deidara slowly turned his head, eyes wide with fear. He took a shaky step towards Hideki before said raven growled and shot the roof, bellowing, "MOVE FASTER YOU STUPID BITCH!"

Deidara yelped in fear and sprinted to where Hideki was sitting.

Hideki smirked, "Good, bitch." Hideki took a fistful of long blond locks and yanked him to where their noses barely touched. "I heard you've gotten yourself a new boyfriend. Is that right?"

Deidara felt tears pricking at the corners of his eyes as he nodded. Hideki chuckled darkly, "Are you just another fuck toy for this one too?"

Deidara's eyes narrowed and his cheeks darkened with rage. "I'm nobody's fuck toy, asshole!" He spat in Hideki's face.

Hideki glowered at the teen before throwing him on the floor and landing a harsh kick to his side. "You disgusting little brat!"

"You disgusting old man, un!" Deidara quipped back, earning him another brutal kick to the side.

Hideki smirked, chuckling again, "Well then, how about I make you MY fuck toy, bitch?"

Deidara's eyes widened in fear. "No! Please don't, un! Anything but that! Please!" a few tears trickled down Deidara's cheeks and his body began to shake even worse as his pleas fell on deaf ears.

Hideki's smirk turned into a sinister grin, "Nahh, Itachi told me to be extra cruel to you. So, I figured that this would be most suitable for a little bitch like you." Hideki's grin widened, "So now I'm gonna make you cry and scream until your throat is raw."

Hideki sneered at the trembling blond, "OR I could just fucking kill you right now, bitch." He cocked the gun aimed at Deidara's head, his ominous grin returning to his face, "Your choice."

Deidara tried in vain to call for help. Ino was staying the night at a friend's house and Akai was working late, again. No one was there to hear the agonizing screams rip through the poor teen's throat.

-End of flashback-

Deidara cried for hours. Each agonizing sob tore Hidan's heart more and more until he found himself tearing up for his distressed friend. The boy's body was racked with sobs that seemed never ending.

Hidan rubbed his friend's lower back and whispered comforting thing in his ear for as long as they were sitting there.

After about two hours, Deidara finally ran out of tears. He slowly sat up until his bloodshot azure eyes were staring into tear-filled magenta ones.

Deidara managed to tell Hidan everything that happened between sobs. Hidan was disgusted with both Hideki and Itachi and knew he had to do something. And soon. But for now, he was going to be a good best friend and comfort the broken blond in front of him.

"Hey, Hidan, un?" Deidara's voice was horse and weak from sobbing for hours.

"Yes, Dei?"

Deidara gave his albino friend a weak smile, "Thank you." Hidan returned the smile and hugged his friend again before getting up to go to the kitchen.

Hidan retuned with a bottle of water for Deidara and his phone. Deidara eagerly chugged the water while Hidan phoned Pein.

Ring…

Ring…

Rin- "Hello?"

"Hey, is it okay if we miss game night tonight?"

There was a short pause, "…sure I guess. What really surprises me is that you just went a whole sentence without a curse or insult…is everything okay?"

Hidan scoffed, "Shut the fuck up! Everything's fine, just…something came up is all."

Pein seemed to think it over before saying, "Alright, fine. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I won't pry it out of you. But you should know that Sasori will probably be over when he finds out that Deidara isn't coming."

Hidan glanced at the blond looking at the floor with a solemn expression plastered to his face, his eyes still puffy and red from crying. He sighed, "Fine. I guess there's no avoiding Mr. Overprotective Boyfriend, is there?"

Pein chuckled, "Nope, there isn't. But that's a good thing. It means that he actually gives a damn about the people close to him." Pein paused again, "Y'know, I can see that you're a pretty kickass friend too. You're always there for Deidara. You may act like you don't give two shits about other people, but I can see that you do."

Hidan gave a ghost of a smile to the phone. Over the last few weeks, Hidan and Deidara were getting closer to the small group of friends that everyone called, Akatsuki. They were nothing more than ten friends who hung out inside and outside of school, but they were like a family.

Hidan chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm still a badass motherfucker."

Pein laughed into the phone, "That you are my friend, that you are. Well, I guess we'll see you and Dei Monday then?"

"Yeah, see ya fire crotch."

"Later, zealot."

Hidan pocketed his phone before walking back over to his friend. "What'd he say, un?"

"He said that Red will be over as soon as he figures out that you're not going to game night tonight."

Deidara nodded before his stomach growled. He blushed and grinned sheepishly at his silver haired friend, "Heh, I guess all that crying made me kinda hungry, un."

Hidan chuckled before taking his phone back out of his pocket, "You wanna order a pizza?"

Deidara beamed "Un!"

Hidan smiled before dialing the pizza place and renting a movie from Netflix.

-20 minutes later-

"Thanks"

"No problem."

Hidan closed the front door before another knocking sounded threw the empty house. "Dei! Your boyfriend's here! Come get the door my hands are full!"

Deidara came running down the stairs nearly falling and yanked open the door revealing a redhead holding a tub of chocolate strawberry swirl ice cream and a bouquet of red, yellow and white roses.

Sasori smiled at his lover before kissing his forehead. "Hey, koi. I heard you weren't feeling good, so I got you your favourite ice cream and your favourite roses."

Deidara grinned and embraced his boyfriend. "Thank you, Danna. You're the best, un!"

Deidara helped Sasori to close the front door. They walked to the kitchen where Hidan was getting plates and glasses ready for pizza and soda pop.

Sasori and Hidan exchanged their hellos while they put away the ice cream and placed the flowers in a vase. After everything was put away, they gathered their food and drink to sit in the living room to watch Spirited Away.

After the movie was over, they got ready to head upstairs for bed. Since Hidan basically lived alone, he had a spare bedroom for the couple.

"Night Hidan, un." The blond hugged his friend and muttered, "Thanks again for everything. You're a totally kickass best friend, un."

Hidan smiled and returned the embrace, "Anytime, Dei." Deidara released the albino and headed to bed with Sasori already waiting for him.

They changed into their pajamas and crawled into bed. Deidara snuggled his head into the crook of Sasori's neck and yawned. "G'night, Danna, un. I love you."

Sasori wrapped his arms around Deidara's waist and kissed the top of his head. "Goodnight, Dei. I love you too."

They slept peacefully that night in each other's arms, both with content smiles on their faces.

Aww poor Dei! The plan is in motion and will slowly unravel more and more the next few chapters, so look forward to that! :D

I put a happy end to the chapter :3 I thought it would make up for the sad beginning ^-^'

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and have a beautiful day~
