"Ugghh..." Obito groaned as he awoke to a dry mouth and a pounding head. Although how this happened he wasn't quite sure. It was probably somehow Shisui's fault so he would have to figure out a way to get him back later.
"Are you awake sleeping beauty?" Kakashi was lying next to him looking smug.
"Wha' happened?"
"You drank some of Hidan's special orange juice."
"What do you mean special orange juice?" He definitely didn't like the sound of that.
"No one quite knows. Kakuzu made him apologise though. I believe he threatened never to spank him again."
"...Why are all Itachi's friends so fucked up?"
"I doubt we can really talk."
"True... Damn I feel like shit."
"I'm not surprised. From what I've heard it's pretty potent stuff."
"I'm never taking anything that guy offers me again."
"At least he seemed to like you. That Deidara guy also thought you were adorable."
"That's nice..." It was the first time he'd ever been treated well by people like that though so he couldn't say anything bad about them. Almost like they were his friends too. "I hope we can meet up with those guys again soon."
"I'm sure we will. I think Sasori at least is at the same school as us."
"Really?! I didn't know that..." Although it was doubtful the guy would talk to him. "Oh hell. It's school again tomorrow isn't it?"
"Yep."
"Shit. I hate my lifeee." Ok he may have shouted that last bit.
"And you haven't done any of the homework either."
"Fuck. I hate you."

It was majorly depressing walking through those shitty school doors again. At least everyone else was just as depressed as he was. Not to mention the one thing that could really freak out Kakashi was here.
"Hey Kakashi~." The masked boy looked suspicious when he heard the happy tone in his voice. "Look behind you~."
Standing there in all his bright green glory was the great Gai Maito with the typical stalkerish look. You could see Kakashi restraining himself inwardly from shooting off a chidori at the guys head. The one thing that would keep him amused all day. Until he saw Rin. Then he wanted to crawl away and hide. Sadly the girl had seen them and was making a beeline for his boyfriend.
Well shit. This cannot go well.
"Kakashi?" The white haired boy turned away from scowling down the green thing to see what the annoying female wanted now. Admittedly he was a lot less understanding than he normally would be.
"Want something?" Obito could hear the irritation in his voice but Rin appeared to be a little dense.
"I want to talk to you."
"What about now?"
"About the girl you like... who is she?" What?! That interfering bitch!
"Who said anything about it being a girl? And I am in a relationship." Shit. Obito was feeling panicky now. He didn't want to be bought into this. Not with the girl he once thought he'd fancied!
"You're in a relationship?!" Clearly she had selective hearing and had decided to ignore the male part. "With who?" Kakashi looked at him out the corner of his eye and noticed how uncomfortable he looked.
"I don't think it's any of your business."
"How could you pick her over me?! Just tell me who it is!" ...That bitch. It took a lot to really rile Obito but she had succeeded.
"He's with me! So back off." The people around them went silent and gradually Obito realised what he'd just said. He'd basically outed himself.
"With... you?" Rin looked like she was suffering from shock.
"Yes I am." Kakashi put his arm around him and pulled him closer. "Is there a problem?" She stood and started mouthing words frantically before dashing away. "Well that's solved that."
"I think I'm going to regret that..." A few girls were looking over and sniggering.
"I'm glad you did. It'll put them off from trying it on with me again."

Despite the many looks he received over the course of the day, part of him felt like a huge weight had been lifted. They could say what they liked but he wasn't going to hide anything anymore and he would always have Kakashi.
"I think Rin really hates me." It would be a lie to say he was completely unbothered by this as he had fancied her for quite a long time before.
"It's not like her opinion matters that much. She's a bitchy, catty girl and therefore always annoying." It seemed that most girls were bitchy and it was a little depressing.
I'm really glad I have a boyfriend right now...
"Ah, it's Sasori." Obito looked to where Kakashi was pointing. Sasori was wandering down the corridor, carrying a large cardboard box and looking annoyed. Obito was still pretty shy but as he seemed to be having a brave day he thought he might as well.
"Hey!" The red head looked up and noticed the two boys waving at him.
"Hi..."
"Are you ok?"
"Hn. That brat is making me carry all his stupid clay to the art room."
"Brat? Is that Deidara?"
"Sadly." He shifted the box in his hands. "Want to come and see?"
"If he's working on something won't he be annoyed?"
"Of course not, he loves to show off." Anyone meeting Deidara would know that was true.
Obito rarely went to the art rooms as he wasn't the most artistic of people. They were dark and dusty and filled with paintings and all sorts of random oddities. Deidara was at a bench in the corner randomly moulding clay into the shape of some kind of bird.
"Brat. I've bought friends." He spun around and instantly brightened.
"Itachi's cousin and boyfriend! Nice to see you guys again."
"Likewise..." Kakashi had been momentarily distracted by a painting on the wall with an almost nude girl. He may like Obito but that didn't mean he couldn't appreciate the beauty of the female form.
"Is that a bird?"
"It is. Don't you think it looks great un?"
"Yeah it does." The amount of detail he'd put into the feathers were amazing and it looked absolutely beautiful.
"It'll look much better when I blow it up of course." Wait. What?
"Blow it up?!" Surely he'd misheard?
"Of course! My art isn't finished until it's been blown up. I believe in the beauty of an instant. True art is an explosion un!"
"Wow..." That basically sounded like he was some kind of arsonist. "How do you blow it up?"
"It involves gunpowder."
"Err... ok." It sounded interesting. Even though Deidara seemed like the kind of person to slip up and lose a finger. There didn't seem to be any missing appendages but you never know...
"Oh before I forget, do you like parties?"
"Parties? I've never really been..." Not that he usually liked the people running the things.
"Would you like to go to one?"
"Err..." Looking at Kakashi provided no ideas so he would have to decide for himself. "I'd love to."
"Great! I'm having one on Friday night at our place."
"Your place?"
"Mine and Sasori's."
"You guys live together?" They couldn't be more than sixteen!
"Sad yet true." Sasori glared. "I have to deal with his stupid explosions and clay all over my bed."
"You love it~. Besides I have to deal with your stupid puppets un!"
"They're a lot better than those stupid explosions you call art! True art is something everlasting."
"I think we better get going." Kakashi came up behind him and lead him out the room.
"That was an interesting argument..." Obito couldn't help but think of how hot tempered artistic people were.
"They seem nice enough otherwise."
"Yeah." Obito felt pleased to be getting on with other people for a change. It seemed today was a good day.
"Kakashi my youthful rival!" ...Or not.
"Want something?" You had to admit that Kakashi was useful in a crisis. Although the fact that he'd played as him going through zombie infested catacombs should have made him know better.
"I have come to congratulate you and your lover on embracing your youth in public!"
"Embracing our what?!" It didn't matter what he said, anything that came out of Gai's mouth sounded like an innuendo.
"I myself embraced my love of the same sex only recently!"
"...Oh. Well that's great to know Gai, thanks..." Yet again he marched off. "He must be knackered by the end of the day with all the marching he does."
"He is a strange little man, isn't he?"
"He was nice about the whole... coming out thing though."
"And he also admitted to being gay too."
"That wasn't really a surprise though was it?"
"Of course not."
