"Wait- what? Pein-" Deidara looks helplessly to his Dom as this guy takes his sub from him. Kakashi lets out another soft cry, trying to move out of this guy's grip and back into Deidara's arms. He looks so so confused, sub headspace not being able to process why he's being taken from his Dom. This gets him another smack and dragged into the elevator. Deidara tries to stop him.
"W-Wait-" Pein silences him with a hand motion, the elevator doors 'ping'ing shut.
"Don't be disrespectful to our guests, Deidara. I know you got close, but you did a good job of it. We made a lot of money off him."
"M-Money? He's my sub!" Deidara snaps. He's angry, not realizing that he's arguing with his Dom. Pein glares at him.
"Deidara, stop this nonsense. He was only your sub so you could figure out what makes him tick and if he was good enough to sell. That's. All. You will get a small part of the money, since you contributed. Now you won't have to deal with him everyday, we'll make more money off Orochimaru keeping him some days, and you can have that apartment to yourself. It's a win win situation." Pein explains to his sub, a little baffled over the anger. Deidara drops his gaze with a pitiful sniffle.
"He- He was mine, yeah."
"Come here." When Deidara moves closer, Pein kisses him deeply. It fails, however, to drive Kakashi from his mind. It's been quite a few sessions since Pein being with him could make him forget about Kakashi. Deidara whimpers, but obediently kisses back.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
That night was a good one. Deidara got used and abused, but got plenty of aftercare. He was allowed to sleep with Pein all through the day and perform the next night. Kakashi did not show up for his performance. Deidara keeps an eye out for him the next few days, extremely worried about his sub.
Kakashi shows up two days after he was sold. He's not black and blue, but he clearly already has makeup on and is dressed for the show. He's more subdued around everyone. Deidara goes over to him when he sees him, already ready as well and having been practicing with Kiba who has replaced Kisame in their routine.
"Kashi! How are you, un?" Deidara looks over him worriedly. Kakashi looks away, starting to stretch. His voice is cool, chillingly polite.
"I'm fine. And yourself?" Deidara is surprised and a little hurt by his tone, although he kinda gets why Kakashi would be upset.
"I-I'm alright, un. Are you, um, are you doing the main show with us, un?" Deidara glances away, keeping it strictly business for him.
"Yes." Kakashi turns away from him, hiding a wince when he stretches a particular way. Deidara wants to help, but he has no idea how.
"How, um…" Deidara's question dies on his lips and he says something along the lines of a "see you" and flees. The show goes off without a hitch, as always. Kakashi doesn't prowl that night, sticking close by the bar and Minato and flirting shamelessly with everyone around for tips. Deidara watches jealously for a while, but has to head downstairs when he gets a customer. To his surprise, he comes face to face with Orochimaru when he gets to the room.
Orochimaru has him strip and get in position on the bed. He rolls on a condom (they are a fairly high end strip club) and starts fucking Deidara. Kakashi walks in a few moments later, eyes going wide. He nearly backs out of the room before Orochimaru growls at him to come back. Deidara watches as the little spark he gets in his eyes when he's a sub appears before shamefully dropping his gaze and hiding his face against the bed. He can't quite miss the sound of Kakashi crying as Orochimaru fucks him, a heartbroken, lonely sound. When Orochimaru finishes then gets Deidara off, he makes Kakashi clean the bed with his tongue.
Kakashi is the only one who hears the quietly whispered "I'm sorry, Love" before Deidara disappears with the excuse that he needs to see Pein. Pein uses him again that night and lets Deidara stay with him again. The next day is a holiday so everyone has it off. It is the first time since Kakashi was sold off that Deidara goes home to the apartment.
It's rather dark and lonely in the apartment. The dishes are waiting to be put away and the toys from the last time Deidara topped are scattered in the bathroom and bedroom, clean and waiting. Deidara goes through the motions, putting the toys away, doing the dishes, and cleaning up. Some part of him manages to stay fixed on the idea that 'he just has a late night at work' and that 'he'll be home soon' even after he came home to a partnerless home. The bed still smells like Kakashi and all his little touches are littered around the home.
Deidara makes something tasteless for breakfast, watching the sun rise before turning on the news. It says that the first snow is supposed to be tonight in between something about the club and how they're looking for Pein (something that is very old news for his employees). There's absolutely nothing on how Kakashi is basically kidnapped. This leads to the blonde wondering if people will miss him when Pein kills him. There is no 'if' anymore, because Deidara holds the record of the longest living whore he has ever had and he knows that will eventually end. He sleeps terribly without another person in the bed.
That afternoon, he wanders around, unsure what to do without a partner on his day off. Pein had given him Orochimaru's number, in case anything happens around the house that he really needs Kakashi for. Deidara sits at the phone for a while before calling him up.
Orochimaru answers. "Hello?"
"It's Deidara. I was wondering if I could steal Kakashi away from you for a while." Deidara says, trying to keep his tone Dom-like. He can hear Orochimaru yell, like the phone is pressed against his chest.
"Whore! Come here! … Do you want to go to Deidara's? He needs you for something. … Yes. No. No. Alright." The voice comes closer. "He'll be over in fifteen minutes."
"Thank you, Sir." Deidara manages to hold off an excited squeal until after the phone has been hung up. He runs off to make himself look presentable. After a quick shower and then looking through all his clothes, he's cute and presentable. He answers the door when Kakashi knocks. Kakashi is collared, eyes down on his feet. The clothes are skimpy and clearly not warm enough for the cold winter weather. Deidara helps him inside, giving him a pair of sweatpants and a longsleeved shirt he left.
"I figured you would want to get away from him for a while, yeah." Deidara explains once Kakashi is dressed and sitting on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate that Dei made all by himself without getting hurt thank you very much. Kakashi quietly accept it, cradling it in his hands.
"What did you need?"
"I needed you safe. Away from him." Deidara practically growls the last part. Kakashi glances down at his drink, blinking rapidly.
"Wh- Why am I even with him? I thought I was yours."
"Pein tricked me. I- I never wanted you to leave, especially not with him. He- He said he wanted to know how you were as a sub, but I thought it was for- for work. I'm so sorry, Kakashi." Deidara guiltily drops his gaze, not knowing how to make this right. "I'm so sorry, Love."
Kakashi physically flinches at the nickname, curling away from him. "I- I'm not your Love. I'm Orochimaru's plaything now. D- Didn't you say there was no boyfriends? Only toys. You got your wish." Deidara is stunned silent. Kakashi sets the mug down, getting up.
"If you don't need me for anything else, O- Orochimaru wants me back."
"Kashi…" Kakashi turns toward him, expression shuttered. Deidara, on the other hand, has all of his heart in his eyes. All of the sadness and guilt. "Stay safe. Please."
Kakashi looks conflicted before lunging forward and giving him a deep kiss. Deidara is stunned for a moment before gently pulling him close and kissing him back. Kakashi makes a soft noise against his lips, moving his lips against Deidara. Deidara kisses back, all of the pain melting away and everything but Kakashi gone from his mind. Kakashi opens his mouth for Deidara, moaning very softly against his mouth. Deidara carefully explores, going over all of his sweet spots. Kakashi moans a bit louder, pressing against him. He breaks the kiss a little to murmur against his lips.
"Just- just keep me. Please. I don't wanna go back. Please, Dei. I'll be yours again. All yours." Deidara pulls away a little bit more, dropping his gaze.
"I want to. But I don't know how." He is perfectly honest, reaching up to scrub tears from his eyes. Kakashi's lower lip trembles.
"Please." He says plaintively, looking up at Deidara. Deidara hides against him, all facade of being a Dom fading in this moment.
"I can't." Kakashi whimpers softly, hiding in his hair. His shoulders shake lightly. Deidara hugs him tightly, like he never wants to let him go. Kakashi cries against his shoulder, begging for Deidara to take him back. Deidara fights to keep his voice even, gently rubbing his back. "I want you to stay. But they'll kill both of us."
Kakashi eventually gathers himself up enough to pull away from Deidara, sniffling softly.
"I- I have to go. Orochimaru wants me back." Deidara looks up at him, unable to keep from crying and thinking about how this isn't fair to anyone.
"S- Stay safe. I lo- I'll miss you." Deidara whimpers. Kakashi gives him another kiss, before pulling back and leaving. He can hear Deidara break down once the door closes with a soft click, soft sobs not quite muffled by the wood.
