Chapter 9:
Sasori woke up with a sore throat. He also had sweat a lot in his sleep.
Calm down, Sasori. It was just a dream.
He glanced over at Kakuzu, who was looking at him with an amused expression. "Sleep well?" he asked.
"Tch. Anything but." he grumbled.
Kakuzu laughed. Sasori turned to look at him.
"Did you just laugh?" he asked.
"I guess you just bring out my wild side." Kakuzu smiled a bit.
"There you go again, with all your smiling and laughing shit. What happened to the Kakuzu that I knew?" taunted Sasori. Kakuzu just smirked in response. He got out of bed, and folded all the covers.
"We better get going in a few minutes. We should be able to reach Deidara's cousin's house today if we keep up our place." Kakuzu told Sasori. Sasori nodded, and got out of bed himself, not bothering to make it. He put his shirt, then his cloak, back on. He grabbed all of his medical stuff from last night and put it in his bag. He stood by the door, waiting for Kakuzu. They checked of their hotel, and Sasori followed Kakuzu out.
Kakuzu suddenly veered off their path and led them into a small shopping outlet.
"What are we doing over here?" Sasori questioned.
"You'll see." replied Kakuzu. He led them into some breakfast diner. The waitress sat them at a booth towards the back of the place. They ordered toast and eggs and bacon off the bat. After she has left, Sasori turned to Kakuzu.
"I seem to remember someone telling me to hurry up this morning, yet that same someone leads me to a breakfast joint?" Sasori grinned.
Kakuzu shrugged. "I wanted to make sure we would still get there by nightfall. Are you complaining?"
"No. Not at all. In fact, I'm glad that you did." Sasori said.
"Good." Kakuzu said.
The waitress brought over two glasses of orange juice. "Your food should ready in about ten minutes, alright?"
"Hey. Can I get some paper? And some crayons? The ones you give out to little kids." asked Sasori.
"Umm…yeah sure. I'll go get them." she replied.
"What do you want with those?" asked Kakuzu.
Sasori smiled. "You'll see."
The waitress was back. "Here you go, sir." She handed him a few blank sheets of paper and some crayons.
"Thank you." Sasori replied. She nodded and went back into the kitchen.
Sasori set the paper down in front of him, and began drawing with wide, curved strokes. He picked up multiple colors, green, brown, red, brown, yellow, black, pink, blue, peach, orange, and discarded them after use. Kakuzu could see a multicolored picture form little by little as Sasori swapped out crayons.
"There." Sasori said. He held up the picture for Kakuzu to see. It was a photo of a large tree with an abundance of branches and leaves, with Sasori perched on one of the large branches towards the base of the tree. Kakuzu was sitting underneath the branch, on the trunk of the tree. In the backgorund was a large sunset of pinks, oranges, peaches, and yellows.
"Wow." exclaimed Kakuzu "That's amazing."
"It's not that great, but thanks. You can keep it if you want."
"I'd love to." Kakuzu took the piece from Sasori's hand and put it in his pocket.
Their waitress came back at that moment with their food. "There you go. Enjoy, please."
"This looks good." exclaimed Sasori. He grabbed his plate and started eating it. Kakuzu did the same.
After they had finished, they waited for their waitress to come and give them their receipt. "Wow. That was perfect." Sasori said.
"It was good, but not perfect." confessed Kakuzu.
"Why not?" questioned Sasori.
"Because," started Kakuzu. "You're not my boyfriend yet."
WHAT? BOYFRIEND? HOLY SHIT MAN! SASORI YOU DID IT!
"Well, nobody's asked me yet, so…" replied Sasori.
"Sasori," Kakuzu grabbed hold of both of Sasori's hands with his own. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Yes! Kakuzu, I'd love to." Sasori said.
Their waitress came by with their receipt. "Have a nice day, boys." she said, as they got up. Sasori suddenly hugged Kakuzu from behind.
"Thanks for the food, boyfriend." he flirted.
"You're welcome, boyfriend." Kakuzu replied.
Sasori released him, and they got up to leave.
"Wait for me outside, I gotta use the bathroom." he suddenly said. Kakuzu nodded, then walked ahead. Sasori hid in the bathroom for a few seconds, and waited for Kakuzu to walk outside. A few seconds later, he walked out of the bathroom. Kakuzu was a few feet ahead outside the restaurant. Kakuzu saw him, and started walking ahead. Sasori ran forward to catch up, and once Kakuzu turned around, he jumped onto Kakuzu's back, and wrapped his fingers around his neck.
"I believe it is my turn for a ride now." he said.
"You wish." But Kakuzu didn't object as Sasori rode on his back all the way back to the trail. He jumped off Kakuzu's back and instead walked hand-in-hand with him. They turned to each other and shared a smile.
"Oh, I sure do love it when he calls me his boyfriend." Sasori thought.
