News of Kakuzu and Hidan got around school super fast, because Kidd overheard the two get together and was spreading it around like the plague. Once he told Akise, he flipped
"No"
"No, what?" Kidd asked confusedly
"No, I'm not letting this go as easily as I did when I found out that Sai and you were going out, oh no" Akise said with an evil smirk, seeming like he was talking to Hidan, but not. Bystanders, including Kidd, were frozen in fear noticing the evil tone to Akise's voice, but they really didn't pay attention to what he was actually saying.
After school the gang was hanging out at the park closest to the school, next to the largest tree there. All couples were cuddling together, 'cept Sasori and Deidara, since they are still in the closet. Tobi and Zetsu were up in the tree, on a large branch
"Zetsu you know you don't need to be jealous of anyone who comes near Tobi because, you're the only one for Tobi" Tobi said and Zetsu smiled pulling the masked boy closer
"Thanks Tobi, sorry for the jealousy"
The two looked down at the others. Konan smiled, looking at Kakuzu and Hidan making Kakuzu look at her
"What?" Kakuzu asked
"Well…It just seems like yesterday you two were fighting and enemies, how did you fall in love?" Konan asked and the rest leaned in closer, curious to know how the two fell in love as well; since the two were quite the opposite. Even Zetsu and Tobi jumped down from the branch and joined the rest.
"W-we don't know" Hidan said and Kakuzu nodded in agreement
"Well…" Itachi started and everyone adverted their eyes to him
"I think you two are like Kisame and me" Itachi said and Kisame nodded
"Yeah, how so?" Kakuzu asked interested into what they were saying
"We are complete opposites" Kisame said
"Our love is based on that actually" Itachi said
"What the hell are you talking about?" Hidan asked as he and Kakuzu were confused and Sai looked at the two shocked
"Don't tell me you never heard the saying 'opposites attract'" Sai said and Kakuzu chuckled noticing the differences about him and Hidan
"Hmm….I guess you might be right" Kakuzu said and got glomped by Hidan, who kissed him deeply. Kakuzu smirked and pulled Hidan closer, kissing him back. After Hidan broke free, he looked at Sasori and Deidara with a smirk
"What?" Sasori asked as the smirk kinda freaked the redhead and the blond
"Well…isn't it about time?" Hidan asked and the two blushed deeply, instantly knowing what Hidan had meant
"Time? For what?" Kakuzu asked as well as Pein
"Ask them" Hidan said and everyone looked at the two artists
"Well?" Konan and Zetsu asked
Deidara looked at Sasori
"…Saso-Danna?" Deidara asked and Sasori just gave a simple nod as his answer
"We're going out un" Deidara said and Sasori grabbed the blonde's hand. Pein bursted with laughter
"Well…God! It's about time!" Pein said and Deidara blushed
"Wh-what un?"
"We all knew you had something for 'Puppet Boy'" Kisame said and everyone nodded, 'cept Hidan
"Uhm…'Puppet Boy'?" Hidan asked cocking his head to the side innocently and Kakuzu blushed slightly
'So cute' Kakuzu thought "…that's his nickname" Kakuzu said and Sasori sighed
"They gave it to me since they found out I like to view art as eternal. Like puppets" Sasori said
"That and he dressed up as Pinocchio for Halloween once" Kisame said grinning and Sasori blushed
"..Oh fuck you… I would have wore that damn costume if somebody didn't make me" Sasori said glaring towards Konan
"Oh you looked adorable in it, even Deidara said you did~ Plus it was a puppet, like your art so don't hold a grudge" Konan said and Sasori grinned
"Fine"
"Danna un, there is one thing that is wrong though" Deidara said
"And what's that?"
"Well art is supposed to be fleeting like fireworks" Deidara said grinning and Sasori chuckled and shook his head
"Eternal…brat"
"Fleeting un"
"Eternal!"
"Fleeting!"
"ENTERNAL!"
"FLEETING!"
All the sudden, out of the blue, Sasori pulled Deidara into a passionate kiss. Itachi and Hidan chuckled at the scene
"It seems we're not the only ones in love, based on differences, huh Itachi?" Hidan asked and Itachi nodded
"Seems like it" Itachi replied
"So anyone have any other nicknames?" Hidan asked
"I call Kisame Fisshu (1) un~" Deidara said smiling and Kisame growled slightly
"I'm not a fish"
"Yeah, but you look like one" Sasori said and Kisame blushed
"You Itachi?" Hidan asked
"Nirro Metsuki (2)" Itachi mumbled
"Why is that?"
"Sometimes when I get angry enough, my eyes turn red" Itachi said and Hidan grinned
"Sweet~!"
"I call Dei-Chan Bamu (3), or Touji (4)" Sasori said
"Bomb or Clay, why?" Hidan asked
"Well he likes art as Fleeting, and loves making clay sculptures" Konan said
"Yep un"
"Hae-wana (5) for Zetsu-San~~" Tobi said "He loves fly traps~"
"And Tobi's nickname's Haipa-Kassei (6)"
"Jishaku (7)" Pein said
"Origami (8)"
"You Kuzu?"
"One that only one person in the whole world could call me"
"Which is?"
"…Kuzu" Kakuzu said and Hidan blushed and glomped him
"Kuzuuuu~"
"Calm down Hidan" Kakuzu said chuckling at how cute his uke actually was
"So, what's my nickname gonna be? Hidan asked grinning
"Well…what do you like?" Pein asked
"Kakuzu"
Pein blushed slightly "I meant other than your boyfriend!"
"Oh… uh Jashin..."
"You mean Jashin as in Jashin the God?" Tobi asked and Hidan slowly nodded
"…Tobi" everyone said
"Tobi… How the hell did you know that?"
"Well…I don't know" Tobi said giggling
"ugh…Typical un"
"Well with that I think your nickname should be Karite (9)" Pein said and Hidan grinned
"Hell Yeah!"
"If you want you can call me Inku (10)" Sai said
A few more minutes of hanging out with friend, Hidan, Kakuzu and Sai decided to return home.
Hidan sat on the couch, in between Kakuzu (on his right) and Sai (on his left)
Sai all the sudden had a shock look on his face
"What day is it?" Sai asked and Kakuzu looked at his phone for the time and date
"Monday, why?" Kakuzu asked and Sai growled slightly and looked down
"…Damn him"
"What?" Hidan asked
"My damn brother…he was supposed to be here last week" Sai said and Hidan chuckled
"He seems that way" Hidan said and Sai looked at him confused
"What do you mean?" Sai asked
"Well like I said before, Shin visited you at the hospital, but that was two days, after you were emitted" Hidan said
"And why's that?"
"He was out of town then" Kakuzu said and Sai sighed
"Of course he was, he always is. Eh, but oh well, staying here with friend is better" Sai said grinning at Kakuzu and Hidan. All the sudden something hit Kakuzu
"…Sai, are you really ok with me going out with Hidan?" Kakuzu asked and Sai smiled
"Of course I am, who did you think thought up that plan?" Sai asked and Hidan smirked
"So it was you"
"Of course" Sai said
"What plan?" Kakuzu asked confused
"Back at the auditorium, after we got together, Itachi told me of the plan that Pein was in on… the plan to get us together" Hidan said looking at Kakuzu, who was shaking his head slightly and sighed
"Should have known, after all he was the one who helped Kisame and Itachi get together" Kakuzu said
"Really?" Sai and Hidan asked and Kakuzu nodded
"Hidan, you know we got off lucky" Kakuzu said and Hidan looked at him
"And how's that?" Hidan asked
"In junior high, Pein and the rest embarrassed Itachi so bad, don't even want to think about it" Kakuzu said
"What happened?" Hidan and Sai asked
"Something with the school presidential election, and the school found out about Kisame and Itachi's relationship" Kakuzu said and Sai smiled
"Oh right, I remember now, Itachi told me. He was running for school president when Konan made him say "I love Kisame" in front of the whole school" Sai sand and Kakuzu smirked
"You're pretty smart you know, Itachi never mentioned things like that to anyone, 'cept Kisame of course"
"Really?" Sai asked and Kakuzu nodded
"..So, uhm…Sai… don't you still love Hidan?" Kakuzu asked and Sai smiled
"Of course I do, love is one of the hardest things to get over with" Sai said
"Then why did you want to get us together?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan looked to Sai, interested in his answer as well as Kakuzu
"Because, I don't want to see Hidan upset. Him happy makes me happy" Sai said with a big smile and that shocked Hidan
"..S-Sai"
"Hum… Hidan?" Sai asked looking to Hidan
"Yes?"
"C-can I…Can you please kiss me one more time? If it is ok with you and Kakuzu of course…" Sai said and Hidan looked to Kakuzu, who just nodded and Hidan looked back to Sai
"Sure" Hidan said before pulling Sai into a kiss, their last ever passionate one, since Hidan is now taken. After the kiss, Sai ran one hand through Hidan's hair and smiled
"Thanks Hidan, that meant so much to me" Sai said pulling Hidan into a hug and Kakuzu immediately pulled the Jashinist to him
"Ok that's enough" Kakuzu said while holding Hidan close and half glaring at Sai. Hidan looked up at Kakuzu and started laughing as Sai was grinning
"Somebody's Jealous~" Hidan said in a teasing tone and Kakuzu blushed
"Oh shut up"
"Aww, but you're too cute like that" Hidan said and Kakuzu looked at him shocked
"How could you say that? I'm ugly and-" Kakuzu started and Hidan glared at him
"No you're not"
"Yes I am, everyone else says so" Kakuzu said
"Well fuck everyone else who says that! I just happen to like the way you look" Hidan said mumbling out the last part of his sentence, blushed. Kakuzu blushed as well and was pulled into a kiss by Hidan.
"I love you Kuzu"
"Love you too"
Sai, still grinning, heard someone knock at the door and got up
"I'll get it"
"No Sai" Hidan said getting up "you need to rest, remember you have 4 broken limbs. I'll get it" Hidan said walking towards the door. Sai sat back down and looked to Kakuzu
"Hey Kakuzu"
"Hmm?" Kakuzu asked looking to him
"There are two things you should know about Hidan. He is the nicest person with friend, but goes crazy with people he hates, with the exception of his father and Akise"
"Why?"
"They mentally scarred him for life" Sai said
"How?"
"Well Akise, you know. But one day in our old town, when the two of us were going out, he ended up on my doorstep crying" Sai sand and Kakuzu continued to listen
"…What happened?"
"His father…Again I have no clue how a father could do this"
"What did he do?"
"H-He…" Sai started, hesitating to finish his sentence "H-he raped him"
"What!? H-How could he…how could…" Kakuzu started
"I know, Me and Shin asked the same question…Hidan's too afraid of his father to tell anyone, even his mother… I have to thank you for getting him out of that kind of environment" Sai said referring to Hidan moving into his house
"I would have done something…but then Nowaki would find out about us, and hurt Hidan. He hates homosexuals that much" Sai said
"…Sai"
"Take care of him, after being through what he had been through, he deserves better… He's so nice to be treated bad like that. Promise me that you will take good care of him" Sai said and Kakuzu smiled
"Sai, you know I will" Kakuzu said and Sai grinned
"Good"
"What's the next thing?" Kakuzu asked
"Oh…I almost forgot. You might want to know Hidan's favorite flower is the red rose, meaning 'love'" Sai said grinning and Kakuzu chuckled
"I'll remember that"
"SAI!" Hidan yelled "YOUR BROTHER IS HERE!"
Sai chuckled
"One more thing he tends to yell"
"I know that already" Kakuzu said grinning as Hidan and Sai's brother, Shin walked into the living room.
"Kuzuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Hidan yelled and ran towards Kakuzu
"Whoa!" Kakuzu said as he got glomped hard and chuckled
"What did you eat to make you this hyper Hidan?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan laughed as he felt Kakuzu's hand on his head
"I'm just happy to see you" Hidan said and Kakuzu laughed
"You just saw me two minutes ago"
"So? I'm always happy to see you" Hidan said grinning
"Ok, ok"
"GUYS!"
"…what is it Sai?" Hidan asked
"I've been trying to get your attention, but you two seemed busy" Sai said grinning and the two blushed
"What is it?" Kakuzu asked
"Can you get off of me please?" Sai asked. Kakuzu and Hidan then realized that they were on Sai's lap and blushed slightly and got up
"S-sorry Sai" Hidan said and Sai laughed
"Not a problem" Sai said
Shin looked at the three confused
"So what's going on here?" Shin asked and Sai looked to him with a big grin
"Hidan's going out with Kakuzu and me and Hidan are friends again" Sai said and Shin smiled, but it soon disappeared as he saw Sai's broken arms and legs
"Sai…how could you do this to yourself? I would never do that because of-" Shin started
"Remember Shin, I'm not blood-related to you ok? I don't have the kind of power to band all emotion like you do" Sai said and Shin sighed and walked to Sai and hugged him
"You're wrong; I was so worried about you Sai; You're the only family I have left, and I don't want anything to happen to you" Shin said and Hidan nodded
"Same for me Sai, never do anything like that again" Hidan said and Sai nodded with a few tears in his eyes
"I won't, I promise. Plus it's not like I have any motive" Sai said
"Good thing" Hidan, Kakuzu, and Shin said and Sai smiled
"Sai we should get home" Shin said and Sai glared at him
"What?"
"You were supposed to be here six days ago, you know" Sai said and sighed irritated
"…No, I was supposed to be here tomorrow, Tuesday, remember?"
"And you neglected to mention the exact date? I thought you were supposed to be here last Tuesday!"
"Well you neglected to text me if you're at a friend's house, just figured you're here" Shin said
"Ah touché"
Hidan and the rest chuckled and Sai got up walking across the living room to the exit with his brother
"Ok I'm ready to go" Sai said and Shin nodded. Sai looked to Hidan and Kakuzu, smiling and waving bye
"Bye guys, see you tomorrow, and thanks for everything" Sai said and Hidan smiled
"That's at least I could do" Hidan said
"Yeah, we should thank you. If it weren't for you convincing Pein with that plan, Hidan and I would never have known we loved each other" Kakuzu said grabbing Hidan's hand and Hidan squeezed it and nodded
"No problem, just remember what I said Kakuzu" Sai said and with that said he and his older brother left to their own home.
Hidan smiled and cuddled closer to Kakuzu, who was holding him close. Hidan smirked and looked to Kakuzu
"Hey Kuzu?"
"Yeah?"
"Well I was wondering, what did Sai say to you?" Hidan asked
'Can't tell him the whole thing…just yet' "Just said to take good care of you" Kakuzu said pulling Hidan closer "Which I plan to do"
Hidan smiled so deeply
"I love you so much Kakuzu"
"Hidan I still don't understand why you do" Kakuzu said and Hidan hugged him
"I love you because I love you" Hidan said
"Yeah, but why?"
"Because of everything. You're handsome, you were there for me, like the time with Sai, when I told you and our friends about what happened to me. You protected me from Akise so many times… You're just so… wonderful, I love you so much that I don't know what I'll do if you were to leave. The only thing I don't get, why do you love me?" Hidan asked and looked up to Kakuzu who was red as a tomato, stunned and speechless. Speechless for a few minutes
"Oh… uh same answer as yours, everything" Kakuzu said and Hidan gave a disbelief look
"…But I'm a loudmouth idiot, that looks like a girl who..who attracts… bad people…like Akise, Kidd….And…A-and…" Hidan started, starting to sob, "And I don't deserve you" Hidan said trying to wipe him eyes and Kakuzu brought him into a hug and started rubbing his back
"Don't say that Hidan. The only reason that those guys are in your life is because they're pervert creeps that think you're cute" Kakuzu said and put a hand gently on Hidan's chin and pulled him up to see his face
"But" Kakuzu said rubbing tears away from the Jashinist's face "But they are right, you are very cute" Kakuzu said making Hidan blush
"Plus you don't look that girly to me, you just have a really cute side to you, that's all" Kakuzu said
"K-Kakuzu…"
Kakuzu looked into Hidan's eyes
"Hidan you're with me now. I would never let anything or anyone hurt you again, ok?"
Hidan smiled with tears
"Thank you Kakuzu"
"I love you" Kakuzu said bringing Hidan into a passionate kiss
"So…Whose better, me or Sai?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan looked at him shocked at first, and then started laughing hard
"Oh still jealous I see. Don't worry, you're definitely better" Hidan said and Kakuzu smiled
"So… you weren't acting the first kiss we ever had, were you?" Kakuzu asked
"…!" Hidan had wide eyes and blushed
"And Sai did say something about you being a bad actor, in the hospital" Kakuzu said and Hidan laughed nervously
"You heard that?" Hidan asked nervously with a nervous smile
"Yeah, it wasn't hard to" Kakuzu said and Hidan sighed
"I'm never good at acting; I'll suck in the play. Mostly because I'm forced to wear a damn dress in front of the audience…"
"Hahahaha how cute, a little embarrassed huh? Don't worry you're really cute in your costume" Kakuzu said and Hidan blushed more
"…You just made me more embarrassed"
"Well I am embarrassed too; I mean I have to wear damn cat ears and a tail"
"But you have a cool part. I would love to be the Cheshire Cat over the damn White Rabbit any day"
"Hmm…oh well…" Kakuzu said and suddenly smirked as he thought of an idea, and Hidan knew that
"What?"
"I dare you to take a carrot to our play practice. And when 'Alice' is looking for you; you have to take a bite of it and-" Kakuzu started
"And say 'eh what's up doc?' to Deidara?"
"Exactly, when you're practicing your part with 'Alice' tomorrow" Kakuzu said and Hidan started laughing
"Deal" Hidan said in laughter and shook Kakuzu's hand, shocking Kakuzu
"Really? I was kidding you know"
"Yeah, but still won't stop me from doing it" Hidan said grinning and Kakuzu started laughing
"You're really silly you know?" Kakuzu asked
"Yep" Hidan said grinning wider
"Heh now I can't wait for tomorrow" Kakuzu said as the two were walking to the bedroom and laid down
Hidan chuckled and laid on Kakuzu's chest
"Me neither"
The two then fell asleep, very tired, after a long, long day with all that went on
The next day at school, the play's cast members were in the auditorium using the stage to practice. It was the part where Alice was looking for the white rabbit, so Hidan and Deidara were the only ones on the stage as everyone else was in the audience. Lucky no one forced them to put their costumes on for this. As Deidara and Hidan made their way on the stage, Hidan winked at Kakuzu. Kakuzu choked on a chuckle as he knew that Hidan was really going for it.
"So what was that about?" someone behind Kakuzu asked, and Kakuzu looked behind him to see Itachi
"You'll see Itachi, watch" Kakuzu said adverting his eyes back to the stage to see that Hidan and Deidara were already practicing their part of the White Rabbit running away and Alice chasing him
"It must be awfully important…like a party or something… Mr. Rabbit wait!" Deidara said and Hidan took out a carrot and took a bite of it
"Eh what's up doc?" Hidan asked and Deidara looked at him shocked before ending on the ground in laughter. Everyone in the room started laughing hard
"Oh my god Hidan un!" Deidara said in laughter "Wh-what made you think of that un?"
"Kuzu did, he dared me" Hidan said in laughter as well. Then all laughter stopped as soon as the teacher glared at Hidan.
"Hidan even though it seemed funny, you disrupted my class. Detention" the teacher said before leaving the auditorium for the detention slip and Hidan groaned slightly before sitting next to Kakuzu in the audience. Hidan looked at Kakuzu who had a guilty look on his face
"Sorry I got you into trouble" Kakuzu mumbled and Hidan chuckled
"No don't be, I did it on my own free will, plus it was so fucking worth it" Hidan said grinning and Kakuzu chuckled and coughed nervously
"So Hidan…would you like to go on a date?" Kakuzu asked nervously and with a slight blush on his cheeks. Hidan looked at him blushing furiously
"U…Uh…"
"Well?" Kakuzu asked
"S-sure, of course I would!" Hidan said and hugged Kakuzu and kissed him on the cheek. Kakuzu was about to say something but
"Aww how adorable~" Tobi said and was the only person near Kakuzu and Hidan at the time. Itachi had gone and sat next to Kisame on the other side. Hidan and Kakuzu had wide eyes
"T-Tobi please don-" Hidan and Kakuzu started desperately
"HEY EVERYONE! KAKUZU AND HIDAN ARE GOING ON A DATE!" Tobi yelled and Kakuzu and Hidan groaned and in seconds surrounded by their hyper overly-excited friends.
"On a date so soon~?" Kisame asked grinning
"We'll help you get ready un" Deidara said in hyperness. Everyone started talking to the two about what to do and what to wear and things and Hidan and Kakuzu were going along with it, because there is no way out with Konan around.
During their small talk about dates and such, Kidd ran into the room
"Hidan!" Kidd yelled and everyone turned to look at him and Hidan glared at him
"What the hell do you want Kidd?" Hidan asked and everyone glared as well as Kidd was walking to Hidan. Kidd leaned close and whispered something into Hidan's ear. Hidan had wide eyes
"Where the fuck is he!?" Hidan yelled
"On the way there now"
Hidan got up and bolted out of the room at lightning speed. Sai then took Kidd by the collar of his shirt and pressed him against the wall hard
"What the fuck did you tell him!?" Sai asked evilly and Kidd winced in fear
"…Akise…Akise didn't take the fact that Hidan's taken… well he said he was going to tell Nowaki San, Hidan's father about it" Kidd said and Sai had wide eyes
"Sh-Shit" Sai said and looked to Kakuzu with a scared look. Kakuzu then remembered what Sai said before about Hidan and his homo-hating father. Kakuzu got up and ran out of the room, followed by Sai, to catch up with Hidan and make sure he's safe
With Hidan, he was running down the street towards his parents' house scared, nervous, and mad at the same time
"Please Jashin, please let me get there before him" Hidan said running really fast. Hidan saw Akise down the street at least 200 feet down, and ran faster, as fast as he could
"AKISE!" Hidan yelled and right when Akise turned around, Hidan punched him as hard as he could on the face, sending him to the ground. Hidan then picked him up by the rim of his shirt and was about to hit him again when someone showed up
"Hello son"
Hidan froze in fear and let go of Akise and took a step back from Nowaki, who was walking slowly towards him. From the tone of his dad's voice, Hidan knew he was too late…
"D-Dad…"
