Kakashi shows up the next evening in the penthouse, in cute (his subby) clothes like requested and walks over to Deidara. "So why couldn't I see you till now?" Deidara for his part has his most dominant outfit (leather pants and a black top) and hands Kakashi a glass of red wine, something so out of character for Deidara that it's actually shocking.

"Because I had to make everything perfect, yeah," Kakashi blinks, carefully taking it and smelling it before looking back at Deidara.

"... Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, why, un?" There's an aura of nervousness about him that says differently. Kakashi sets the wine down, touching his forehead.

"No one drugged you? Or threatened you or bribed you with anything, yeah? You don't look so good."

"I'm fine, yeah." Deidara practically growls. He takes Kakashi's hand. "We just- we need to talk, yeah."

Kakashi's eyes widen a little. "Oh god. This isn't the 'everything's actually not okay and I hate you so stop moving into my places' speech, is it?"

"Nonono. It's nothing like that, un. It's, well- I was thinking that since you're mine and I'm yours, we could, well…" He takes a deep breath, pulling a box seemingly out of thin air and slipping down onto one knee. "Two guys can't get married here, but will you do the next best thing, un? Will you let me collar you, un?" Deidara looks up at him almost fearfully.

Kakashi blinks. Opens his mouth. Looks from Deidara to the box and back and blinks again. Closes his mouth. It's clearly still sinking in. "Wha- you- really? M- Me? Oh god. You're really- okay. Okay." Deidara stands, opening the box. It's a beautiful leather collar with a soft lining so it doesn't chafe. The tag is a rounded diamond that reads 'Kakashi' in elegant script, and the design is thin so it doesn't look doggish at all. Deidara bites his lip.

"Do- Do you like it, un?" Kakashi pulls him down to the bed, pulling Deidara into a crushing hug and a deep kiss. He speaks when he finally lets Deidara up for air.

"I love it. I love it so so much. Could- Can we put it on? Please?" Deidara nods. He carefully takes it out of the box, showing him that the back of the tag says 'property of Deidara' before gently buckling it on Kakashi's neck so it isn't too tight. He kisses Kakashi's cheek.

"You look so beautiful, kitten. And now, you're really mine, yeah." Kakashi beams under the attention, snuggling close to him.

"'m yours…" Deidara holds him close.

"Yes, you are, un. All mine, yeah." Kakashi purrs happily, maneuvering his tall self into Deidara's lap. Deidara holds him protectively. Kakashi nuzzles into his neck, reaching up to lightly feel the collar. Deidara kisses his head. Kashi mouthes at Deidara's neck, giving little kitten licks. Dei tilts his head back, letting his kitten do as he wishes. Kakashi nibbles curiously, shifting in his lap a little.

"Mm... Kitten..." Deidara gently pulls him closer. Kakashi squirms happily, working over his neck and remarking his territory. Deidara makes a sound of contentment. Kakashi is very sweet and loving, right until the point where he bites Deidara's neck. Deidara yelps softly. "Kitten. That hurt, un."

Deidara tries to sound annoyed but Kakashi can feel him slowly getting hard from the rough treatment. Kakashi smiles prettily, going back to nicely licking at his neck before getting playful and biting his shoulder this time. Deidara pushes him off a little roughly and gives him a dark look.

"Kitten." Kakashi grins at him, rubbing his face on Deidara and then licking Dei's nose. Deidara wrinkles his nose. "Unless you want tonight to be rough, don't bite me again, yeah."

Kakashi nips at his ear just to piss him off. Deidara stands, catching Kakashi's arm to hold him there long enough to give him a smack on the ass.

"Go bend yourself over the desk, un." Deidara orders, letting him go. Kakashi pauses, worrying at his lip.

"... Ears? Tail? Paws?"

"Oh, they're already sitting over there in one of the drawers, yeah." Deidara smirks at him. Kakashi prances over there, bending over and curiously looking through the drawers. He finds in one of them some toys, a gag, a cockring, and his ears, tail, and handpaws. Kakashi takes them back to Deidara, quickly stripping for him first. Deidara sets aside the toys, helping him with the ears and hand paws. He gets some lube and gently prepares him before sliding the tailplug in. Kakashi shivers, wiggling his ass a little and humming happily at the full feeling. Deidara gently pets his hips. Kakashi presses into his touch, rumbling quietly.

"Sir…" Deidara gently nibbles his ass. Kakashi moans quietly, pushing his ass out further. Deidara leaves a dark possessive mark. Kashi whines quietly, holding the hand that's possessively on his hip. Deidara holds his hand, the other lightly and slowly stroking Kakashi's length. Kashi's eyes flutter shut, the oddest little noise coming out of him. It's somewhere between a mew, a purr, and a moan. Deidara moves, slipping the cockring onto him before continuing. Kakashi bucks a little into his hand, moaning. Deidara continues this for a while, just watching his pet. Kakashi whines when his orgasm is denied, panting and looking up at Deidara pleadingly. His makeup tonight is lighter than the stage stuff, just giving him longer eyelashes and fuller lips. His cheeks are flushed and his mouth open just a bit to show his tongue while he pants.

"Mas-terrrrr…!" Deidara lets him go, kissing his pet's jaw. He chuckles softly.

"Yes, kitten?" Kakashi whines again, moving his hips a little. Deidara gently tugs his tail a bit so the plug shifts, then takes his hands away. "Stay there for me, kitty."

Kakashi keens softly, a rather loud whine coming from him of all people, then pretends to be disinterested, like he actually wasn't enjoying that immensely. Deidara chuckles, disappearing for a moment then tossing something to his fingerless partner. It makes a soft jingly sound and is bright baby blue. Kakashi catches it between his paws, opening them to look at it. It's a ball of yarn that appears to have a bell inside among other things. Kakashi drops to the ground, unraveling it and chasing after it. Deidara chuckles, catching it with his foot when it rolls at him and kicking it up in the air for Kashi. He lands on his back trying to turn around and catch it, tearing off after the substantially smaller yarn ball. As he does, he sees a few gummy fish poking out of the top of it. Kakashi noms them, guarding the ball. Deidara chuckles, sitting on the couch to watch him. When Kakashi's through with the gummies, he unwinds the rest of the ball. He finds a shiny bell tied to the end of the string. It scoots away from him when Dei tugs on the other end that's by him. Kakashi chases it, tail swishing as he moves his ass. the bell ends up disappearing under Dei's foot.

Kakashi hisses quietly, pawing at his foot. Deidara doesn't move his foot, the bell shining under his toes. Kakashi leans down, nomming on his toes to try and get the bell. Deidara relinquishes it, kicking it away to one side. Kakashi darts after it, tail waggling as he pounces on it and claims the bell for his own. Deidara uses the string to tug it from Kashi's grip. Kakashi's eyes widen and he chases it down, nomming it so Deidara can't take it. Deidara chuckles, letting him have it and gently patting the spot next to him.

"Come here, un." He orders. Kakashi waits a moment, carefully spitting out the bell and nosing it around like he doesn't even hear Deidara before jumping up on the couch with it. He cuddles up into Deidara's side. Deidara hugs him. "Hi, kitty."

Kakashi purrs happily, nuzzling under his jaw for snuggles. Deidara holds him close, kissing his head. Kashi kisses at his neck, nosing at the old marks and biting to claim Deidara. Deidara hisses in pain, but squirms a little uncomfortably as he gets hard against his partner. Kakashi looks up at him and grins, a little shit-eating grin that tells Deidara he'll love this as much as he hates it. Deidara scowls at him, obviously torn between wanting to submit to him and wanting to fuck him so hard he won't rebel anymore. Kakashi bites at his spot, tonguing over the spot just a bit before he pulls back. Deidara actually lets out a little whine of disappointment. Kakashi smiles happily, doing it again for longer. He sucks a mark into Deidara's skin there, being rough with it. Deidara suppresses noises, not wanting to inflate his ego more. Kakashi rocks his ass over Deidara's lap, groaning very quietly. Deidara can't quite stifle a quiet groan of his own.

Kashi turns around, straddling Deidara and slowly rocking down into him as he starts biting at his neck and shoulders again. Deidara pulls him closer, moving up against him. Kakashi moans softly, the sound a little breathy.

"Master… Please…"

"Please what, Kitten?" Deidara somehow manages to sound cool and collected like none of this affects him. Kakashi makes another breathy little sound by his ear, moving his hips sinuously against Deidara's jeans to try and get better friction.

"Please… Fuck me…"

"Hmm... I don't think you really want it, Kitten." Deidara puts his hands on Kakashi's hips as if to pull him off. Kakashi keens quietly, mewing softly and offering up the little bell to Deidara for sex apparently. Deidara chuckles, taking it gently and nuzzling his cheek. "You're so damn cute, yeah."

He takes the little bell off of the string, clipping it instead to Kakashi's collar. Kashi moans quietly and hides in his neck, grinding down on his lap. Deidara gently pushes him off and down onto the couch on his back, bell jingling with the movements. He strips off his shirt before settling between Kakashi's legs. He nibbles at a nipple, Kakashi's hips only able to move against Dei's stomach now. Kakashi 'mrow's very quietly, stopping his grinding and looking thoroughly displeased. He arches just a tad into Deidara's mouth, however.

Deidara sharply bites one nipple, roughly pinching the other between his nails. Kakashi moans loudly, pushing into his hand and mouth. Deidara lets him go with his teeth, but uses his grip on the other to pull Kakashi to their bedroom. Kakashi follows, stumbling a bit after him. Deidara has him kneel on the bed, blindfolding and gagging him. He takes out the tail and puts in a vibrator set to go from low to high and back at seemingly random and torturous intervals. He also cuffs his hands together and his ankles together so he can't go anywhere.

"I've got paperwork to do, so I'll be gone for a bit, yeah. Have fun, Kitten! And don't move, yeah." Deidara shuts the door as if he's gone, sitting on the ground silently instead to watch the show. Kakashi groans quietly through the gag, inchworming up the bed to curl up on Deidara's pillow. He lies there, moaning and rutting and shaken by vibrations. Deidara taps the door lightly like a knock a room over, murmuring quietly like he's greeting someone outside the room.

Kakashi goes silent, the only sound the soft vibrations on the bedspread. Kashi starts worming around, finding the edge of the bedspread and getting under it. Deidara can't tell whether the shaking is the vibrations or Kakashi. Deidara gently taps the knob like the door softly clicking closed as the person leaves. Kakashi stays hidden under the sheets, but moves to unwind a little bit and continue rutting against their hapless sheets. The soft whimpers and little whines come back, much softer.

Deidara stands after a while, opening the door but not saying a word. Kakashi has the covers on only about half his body now, but is clearly distracted. Deidara goes over, moving the sheet and pulling him back by the link between his ankles. Kakashi squirms, whining. The gag muffles whatever he's trying to say, but it seems like a question. Deidara reaches up, undoing the gag so he can ask it as Deidara gently pulls him to a kneeling position on the ground and sits on the end of the bed. The blindfold looks a little… damp, but Kakashi's voice is fairly steady.

"Master?" Deidara gently runs his fingers through Kakashi's hair.

"Yes, un?" Kakashi leans into his touch, relaxing a little.

"Please…"

"Are you okay with bareback, un? Feeling my cum drip from your unworthy hole and down your throat, yeah?" Deidara genty runs his thumb along Kashi's bottom lip. Kakashi opens his mouth, groaning a little bit. They miss the elevator's 'ding' as it opens on their floor.

"Pleasepleaseplease… A- Anything, Sir…" Deidara grins. He strips, tossing his clothes aside, and pulls Kakashi's head down to his length.

"Suck, Kitten. Make a good show of it and I might fuck you, yeah." Kakashi blindly moves forward till his nose bumps Deidara's length, Kashi's giggling softly as he tries to find his head by using his mouth. Deidara groans softly, undoing the blindfold so he can see it. Kakashi's eyelashes are still a wet, but he grins up at Deidara before setting to work on giving Deidara the best blowjob he's ever had. They miss the footsteps heading toward the room, sounds drowned out by Deidara's quiet moans that Kakashi is totally focused on as Deidara uses a grip on his hair to gag and use him.

"Deidara- er, Sir, I have that-" Poor Kiba stops dead, jaw hanging open. Deidara shoots him a glare scarier than even Pein could have pulled off. Kiba bolts with a call of 'They'll be on your desk!'. Kakashi looks up at Deidara, sucking curiously on his length and very lightly scraping his teeth on Deidara. Deidara groans softly, bucking up and fucking his mouth. Kakashi gags a little, moaning loudly in appreciation. Deidara doesn't give him a warning other than pulling his head down as far as he can before cumming down his throat with a loud moan. Kakashi swallows it all, groaning softly. Deidara pants softly for a moment before letting him up. Kakashi pulls off him, lips dragging over very sensitive skin. He looks up at Deidara, ankles and hands still chained together. Deidara pulls him up, bending him over the end of the bed so he is face down ass out and standing behind him. He slowly pulls the vibrator out.

"How bad do you want to be fucked, Kitten?"

"So- So bad, Sir. Please… 've been a bad kitten. Punish me. Fuck meeee…" Deidara gently probes his ass, glad that the plug stretched him and uses Kashi's spit as lube, sliding into him completely in one quick movement. Kakashi groans quietly, sticking his ass out more for Deidara and squeezing tight around him.

"Master… please… I'll do anything…" Deidara covers his mouth with a firm hand, fucking him hard and fast and everything his kitten wants. Kakashi tries to stay quiet, Deidara's hand not quite catching all the sounds Kashi makes. He rocks back against him, trying to make Deidara hit that magical little spot. Deidara finds his prostate, brushing it maddeningly. Kakashi moans loudly, just to piss Deidara off and shifts to have him hit that spot. The next sound is nearly a yelp which turns into a long groan. Deidara lets go of his mouth, using his shoulders to pull him faster, pounding into his abused ass and hitting his prostate over and over again.

Before about two seconds ago, Deidara had no idea that Kakashi was a screamer during really good sex. He's not quite sure that it's a bad discovery. However, a not choking but firm grip on Kakashi's neck warns him to stay quieter. Kakashi moves, shaking off the hand on his neck and muffling his noises in the bed. Deidara reaches down to stroke him roughly. Kakashi cries out quietly, moving harder back against him.

"P- Please…! Nng- god, please! M- Ma- aster, please pleaseplease..." Deidara cums hard in him with a loud moan, however Kakashi's cockring stays firmly in place. Kakashi makes a noise between a groan and a whine, still rocking his hips furiously against Deidara's softening cock.

"Sir…! A- Anything… I'll do anything… please…" Deidara smirks, pulling out of him. A bit of cum drips from Kakashi's abused ass.

"Hmm... Nope, un. I think it's bedtime, Kitty." Deidara probes Kakashi's hole with his tongue. Kakashi pushes his ass more towards Deidara's tongue, trying to rut on the bedspread. He actually sounds upset when he speaks.

"Master, please! I'll suck you off again, I'll perform for you, I'll fuck myself with that really big dildo for you please…!" Deidara continues until the cum is gone, then pulls away.

"I have a better idea, yeah. Come here, Kitty." Deidara leads his trembling sub to the floor, then fetches something. It's a massive dildo mounted on a stuffed dog. "You're going to fuck yourself on this, and cum without using your hands, yeah." Deidara emphasizes his point by redoing the restraints so Kakashi's hands are behind his back but his ankles are free. He lubes up the dildo and watches his sub impale himself on it. Kashi finds that he can rut against the mutt's face while he fucks himself. Kakashi moans, starting fast and just fucking himself faster.

"Sir, please… C- Cockring…" Deidara complies, taking it off of him. Kakashi moves faster on it, cumming with a loud moan all over the stuffed animal when he finds his prostate. He hangs his head, moving off the dildo and plopping on the floor with his hands behind his back. Deidara carefully undoes the restraints, then pulls him into a hug.

"That was so good, Love. You're so good, yeah. Such a perfect sub, yeah." Kakashi sniffles softly, hiding in Deidara's neck and hugging him tightly. Dei's neck feels damp when Kashi hides there. Deidara croons to him, reassuring him that Deidara loves him and promising him that no one was here while he was tied up. Kakashi nods against him, just staying close to Deidara as he calms down. Deidara leads him to the bed, pulling him down and hugging him close. Kakashi snuggles right into his chest, hiding his tears shamefully and loving the fact that Deidara's staying.

"Shh... I've got you, Love. It's okay, un. I'm here, yeah." Deidara holds him, letting him cry. Kakashi calms down rather quickly, staying close. Deidara kisses his head.

"I love you, yeah." Kakashi smiles at him happily, kissing his chin.

"I love you too, Sir." Deidara kisses him softly.

"Bedtime, my pretty kitty." Deidara gently pulls the covers up on them. Kakashi squirms happily against him, snuggling to be the little spoon tonight. Deidara hugs him, and eventually they both fall asleep.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Deidara wakes up first, Kakashi still all cuddled into him. Kiba knocks hesitantly on the door.

"Er- Deidara?"

"What, un?" Deidara keeps his voice low so Kakashi doesn't wake up. Kiba comes a little closer, showing Deidara some papers.

"The activity with the other gangs have died down a lot. And all the investors are happy with how you're running things. I also looked up those flowers like you wanted me to. I'll put the papers with the rest."

"Thank you, Kiba. Leave them on the desk, please, un." Kiba nods, shuffling for a moment.

"Um- can I talk to Kakashi when he wakes up?"

"Sure, un. I'll send him up to you, yeah." Kiba nods again and leaves them alone. Kakashi makes a sleepy sound, snuggling closer. Deidara holds him, kissing his head and waiting for him to wake up. Kakashi mouths at his neck, smiling.

"Mm... Morning." Deidara nuzzles him.

"Good morning, my love." Kakashi smiles up at him.

"Hey, handsome. How'd you sleep?"

"I always sleep well with you in my arms, yeah. How did you sleep, un?" Kakashi preens a little under the attention.

"I slept well. I think- do you want me tonight?"

"I always want you, yeah. Why, un? Do you have plans, un?"

"Well, I think that I'm going to talk to all my girls and see how everyone's doing. Then I was going to perform then start calling people about the house."

"Sounds good, yeah. I have to cover for Minato anyway, yeah. Oh, that reminds me, un. Kiba wants to speak with you once you're up, yeah." Kakashi looks up at him quizzically, stretching and getting out of bed. He starts picking out his clothes. Deidara helps him, reaching up to undo the collar before pausing and gently running his fingers along it.

"Do you want to wear this today, Kitten?" Kakashi closes his eyes, purring lightly.

"Mm... I have a performance I've never done. And I'm not taking customers today so please?"

"As you wish, Kitten. Go find Kiba before he comes down here again, un." Deidara sends the now dressed Kashi on his way with a smack on the ass. Kakashi grins and shakes his ass, grabbing his tail and ears before heading out. Deidara chuckles softly, rolling his eyes and going over to look at the papers.

Kiba analyzed the flowers for Deidara and neatly typed it all out. Arbutus (thee only do I love), pink camellia (longing for you), red carnations (my heart aches for you), red chrysanthemums (i love you), daffodils (Unequalled Love, You're the Only One, The Sun is Always Shining When I'm with You), purple hyacinth (I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Sorrow), orange blossum (Eternal Love), peony (Shame), and primrose (I Can't Live without You). Deidara sighs deeply, setting it aside to do more paperwork.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Kakashi heads upstairs happily, looking for Kiba in the dressing rooms. He runs into Kisame first, Kakashi momentarily forgetting their issues.

"Kisame! You'll never guess what happened-" Kisame scowls at him, glaring when he sees the collar.

"Don't talk to me, slut." He storms past Kakashi, leaving him be. The one thing that the whores do not do is insult each other for sleeping with people. Kakashi stops short, hands tightening into fists. He breaks out the commanding 'head bitch' voice.

"Kisame, get back here. Now."

"What?" He stops, turning to glare again through the barely hidden tears in his eyes. Kakashi softens, reaching out and snagging his hand.

"Come talk to me." Kisame reluctantly follows. Kakashi pulls him into an abandoned room, sitting them down on the floor. "Why're you upset?"

"You left me for him again! He treats you like crap and I'm the one who gets dropped like a hat."

"But you always said-"

"What? That he loves you? I was trying to be a good guy and not jump you when you were that vulnerable!" Kakashi shrinks a little, shaking his head.

"You've known me for forever. Why wouldn't you say something before then?"

"I didn't realize that I loved you before now!" Kisame realizes his word choice when Kakashi's eyes go wide. "I mean- um-"

"You- You love me?"

"Um- Um-" His voice becomes small. "Yes."

"But you- you were with Konan. Or you always said you didn't want a relationship!"

"You're different. I-" He quickly closes the space between them and kisses Kakashi on the lips. Kakashi sits, shocked, before pulling away when someone comes in.

"K- Kisame-" Kiba walks right back out of the room, leaving them. Kakashi calls Kiba back. "Kisame, I'll meet you in your room after the show to finish talking." Kisame leaves like a kicked dog and Kiba comes back.

Kakashi scrubs at his face, leading Kiba to do makeup. "I'd love it if you didn't mention that to Deidara." Kiba nods. "Speaking of, he said you wanted to talk to me?"

Kiba awkwardly shuffles, not starting on his own makeup.

"I- I think Hinata's pregnant." Kakashi's mouth drops open.

"What? Who did she let do her without protection?!" Kiba closes his mouth and blushes bright red.

"A- And we might need to be tested."

"You fucked Hinata?" Kakashi can't quite wrap his head around this. Kiba blushes deeper and looks at his feet.

"We kinda- she didn't want a relationship. 'Cause of the rules and our jobs 'n stuff. But she said that it'd be okay if we... You know."

"Why didn't you use protection?" Kiba fidgets.

"I didn't want to be like all her other customers. And I've never gone without with a girl. I thought she was on the pill!" Kakashi sighs.

"Alright. Is she going to keep it?"

"I dunno. ... Would you go to the clinic with us tomorrow?"

"Of course, hun."

Kiba smiles a little, relieved. "Thanks, Kakashi." Kakashi nods, giving him a reassuring little smile. Kiba thanks him again and heads off to do his own makeup. Kakashi calls everyone back one at a time, making sure that everyone's okay and still has their designated 'safe' partner. He calls Hinata back last.

"Hello. Anything you want to tell me about any of the customers? Any hurt you or been rude?"

"Nope. Not a scratch I didn't ask for." Kakashi nods, applying a last touch of eyeliner. They chat a bit about her job tonight so Kakashi can start on her makeup while she talks.

"Any health issues I should be aware of? Or emotional things you're going through? Not a word of it leaves here."

"I..." She glances away without moving her head before seeming to come to a decision and dropping her gaze to her lap. "I'm pregnant. And- And I think I want to keep it."

Kakashi finishes the last bit of eyeliner, taking his hands off her. "Do you know who the father is?"

"Kiba." Kakashi nods, crossing his arms.

"You know the club's policy on children, Hinata. You leave, or they do." She can't meet his gaze, looking like what she is for once. A fragile little girl of barely twenty who has to sleep around to make end's meet. Kakashi sighs softly, running a hand through his hair and leaning forward a bit, gently taking her hand.

"Look at me, Hinata." She looks up, tears glistening on the waterproof mascara. Kakashi gently wipes her tears away, squeezing her hand.

"Do you really want this baby?" She fidgets guiltily.

"I- I've already written my letter of resignation." She whispers. Kakashi gently pulls her out of her chair and more into his, letting Hinata hide against him.

"Deidara's not Pein. I'm going to talk to him about this, okay? I think Minato's retiring so we'll need a new bartender. And I've always wanted to teach someone mixology."

"You- You'd really do that for me?" She looks up at him in absolute surprise and gratitude. It hits him again how badly some of these girls need their jobs. Especially the young ones. Kakashi nods, kissing her forehead.

"Do your thing tonight and be careful. I'm coming to the clinic with you and Kiba tomorrow so we can work everything out."

"Thank you so much, Kakashi." Kakashi gently fixes her makeup where it got smeared, helping her up.

"Don't tell Kiba till I confirm it with Deidara, please. He gets hopeful easily." She nods, thanking him again before hurrying off to do her job. Kakashi heads up on stage, sliding in the tail and clipping on the ears as he gets fully in his sub headspace.

He finally, for most of his customers anyways, has a performance that shows off his subby side full force. The performance goes perfectly and he rakes in a lot of cash. Kakashi finds Deidara after, happily avoiding bargains and the hands that chase him for his Dom. Dei is working the bar and gets him a drink.

"You look great, Kitten." Deidara says, smiling crookedly at him. Kakashi smiles happily, perching on the bar and sipping at his drink. One of the women who come up gets the pleasure of laying in Kakashi's lap and getting her hair pet. Deidara keeps a watchful eye on his sub until closing. Kakashi gives him a kiss and flounces off, heading to see Kisame. Deidara locks up, then heads to the new house to get some work done. Kisame is taking his makeup off in a mirror. Kakashi sits down, wiggling a little to adjust his tail.

"Talk to me."

"About what?" Kisame doesn't look at him.

"Kisame, I've known you for too long. Don't play with me."

"Why don't you take your own advice."

"Kisame, what the hell are you thinking?"

"What?"

"Don't fuck around with me. What was that little confession? Then calling me a slut?"

"You can't keep going between us when you want attention! I love you and it hurts!" He looks heartbroken, and without the makeup Kakashi can see the hollows of his cheeks and the circles under his eyes. Kakashi sighs softly, walking over and hugging him.

"I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry. And I made a huge mistake and I hurt both of you. But- I- I can't be with you. You're my best friend. Can we still be that?"

"I don't- I don't know." Kakashi looks up at him, all pretty with his big eyes and little subby tail and ears. He's everything Kisame can't have.

"We could set you up with someone else...?"

"No. I just- I need some time." Kakashi nods, gently kissing his cheek. He pulls back.

"You know where to find me when you're ready." Kisame drops his gaze and leaves, Kakashi seeing the glimmer of hope die in his eyes after the kiss before he flees. Kakashi sighs again quietly. He makes sure that everyone is good, calls all the strippers and reviews the policy on sex, then heads to the new house. He finds Deidara finishing the last of the unboxing, organizing their toys on a new shelf. Kakashi comes up from behind him, hugging Deidara.

"Hi, Master!" Deidara turns and hugs him.

"Hello, Kitten." Deidara smiles at him warmly. Kakashi happily nuzzles at Deidara's neck, kissing there.

"Are we gunna play tonight, Sir?" Deidara stifles a yawn with a small smile.

"Sure, Kitten. Dinner first, yeah." Kakashi nods, heading off to start on it. Deidara is passed out on the couch by the time it's ready, snoring softly. Kakashi sets two bowls out, snuggling into Deidara's arms and nibbling at his neck to pleasantly wake up his Dom. For some reason, his way doesn't work. Kakashi whine softly but then has a brighter idea. He gently pushes Deidara on his back and pulls down his pants, nuzzling at his belly. That wakes him up. He flinches away a little.

"Kitten! What're you doing, un?!" Kakashi pulls back from between his legs, biting his lip.

"I... S- Sorry, Sir. Din- Dinner's ready!" Deidara blinks at him before pulling him into a hug.

"I fell asleep on you, didn't I, un? I'm sorry, Kitten. Thank you for waking me up, un." Deidara kisses his nose. Kakashi fixes Deidara's pants before snuggling close.

"Uh-hu. It's okay. Were you having bad dreams?" Deidara hugs him tight.

"Something like that, un. I'm sorry for snapping at you, yeah." Kakashi hugs him back, kissing Deidara's head.

"Was it about him again?" Deidara nods, hiding against his sub with a broken little whimper. Kakashi holds him close, murmuring reassurances. Deidara eventually pulls away with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

"I'm alright, un. Lets eat before it gets cold, yeah." Kakashi lets Deidara snuggle under his arm, both eating quietly. Kakashi assumes that Dei'll talk about what's bugging him when he wants to.

"I have a favor to ask of you."

"Yeah?"

Kakashi takes a deep breath. "I wanna train Hinata as our new bartender. Minato wants to retire soon. Like- within the week. Between him and me, we could get her ready in about two weeks."

"Hinata? She's one of our most popular and our only little, yeah. Why would she want to go to the bar, un?"

"She's pregnant."

"Who's the father, un?"

"Kiba. They can barely afford it together with their jobs, Dei. I could train someone else as a little or have Hinata do it."

"She and you both know the rules, Kakashi."

"I know, but-"

"How am I supposed to sell drinks when my bartender has no body? I love Hinata like a sister, but I have to think about the business." Deidara sighs, clearly torn. Kakashi nuzzles at his head.

"Well, we don't cater to pregnancy kinks...?"

"That's true..." Kakashi squirms closer, blinking up at him with big puppy-dog eyes and a wobbly lower lip like he'll cry if Deidara says no.

"She would have to train a new little. And we would need another bartender for the other clients." Kakashi hugs him tight.

"Thank you."

"Yeah." The rest of dinner is silent and Deidara cleans the dishes afterwards. Kakashi steals the phone, going into the other bedroom. He quietly contacts the mafia's sub-leaders, informing them of a fifteen thousand dollar bounty on the head of Deidara's father. He's to be brought in dead. As he hangs up, there's a crash from the other room. Kakashi hurries to the noise.

"Stay there. You don't have shoes, yeah." Deidara is cleaning up a dish he dropped, glass scattered about. Kakashi goes off to grab shoes, coming back and helping him clean. Deidara seems a little shaken up as he goes back to washing them once the glass is picked up. Kakashi wraps his arms around Deidara's waist, nuzzling at his neck.

"What's bothering you?"

"N- Nothing. I'm- I'm good!" Deidara attempts a reassuring smile. Kakashi gives him a stern look instead and Deidara awkwardly glances away. Kakashi nips at his ear.

"Do the feelings thing. Talk." Deidara turns and hugs him tightly, burying his face in Kakashi's chest and wet soapy hands tangling in the back of Kakashi's shirt. Kakashi hugs him close, just being there.

"I- I can't do this anymore, yeah. I hate living this way. I- I don't wanna be scared anymore."

"I put a price on his head."

"You- You what?"

"I put a bounty on his dead body."

"Wh-Why?"

Kakashi keeps his voice quiet. "I don't want you to be scared anymore." Deidara looks up at him, tears in his eyes and voice barely a whisper.

"Thank you." Kakashi kisses his forehead, giving Deidara a tiny smile.

"Always." Deidara pulls away, hastily scrubbing tears from his eyes before going back to the dishes. Kakashi stays close, drying them and putting them away. Deidara wanders off after the last of them are washed, presumably to finish unpacking. However, when Kakashi goes to look for him, he's disappeared. Kashi wanders around the house, quietly calling his name. He eventually finds Deidara tucked away in their little alcove, asleep in a nest of pillows and blankets. Kakashi pulls a pillow up to the door, falling asleep a little ways away from it.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

That night, Kakashi wakes up to get ready for work and discovers he's in bed with Deidara tucked up against his side. Kakashi hums happily, holding him closer. He slips out of bed, starting a big breakfast so he can bring some to the club. He hears a loud sneeze and a groan from the other room, telltale signs his partner is sick. It's all but assured that he is when Kakashi hears a scratchy curse shouted at no one.

Kakashi pours a glass of orange juice as well, bringing Deidara food. Deidara grumbles crossly, but thanks him when he sees food. Kakashi kisses his forehead, discretely checking Deidara's temperature.

"You gunna hide out in the penthouse today?" Deidara nods, eating some of his breakfast before offering Kakashi the rest.

"Hungry, un?" His voice is a scratchy mess.

"Aww, Hun..." Kakashi hugs him, nuzzling his head. "I'm alright." Deidara nods. He manages to finish about half of it, grumbling about hating being sick. Kakashi saves the rest for him and boxes up breakfast for the club. He then checks on Deidara again and heads off to shower. Deidara gets dressed and after Kakashi is ready tries to find his keys to drive them. Kakashi grabs the keys, shooing him in the car. He reluctantly gets in the passenger side when Kashi won't let him drive.

Kakashi gets Deidara into the penthouse and all set up with tissues, hot soup, a blanket, and other sick person things. He then calls all the employees. They are told to go to Kashi if there's something wrong, not go to Dei. Deidara thanks him, slumping in his desk chair. Kakashi makes all the employees follow him upstairs. He then gives them all breakfast, making sure everyone eats.

The night goes smoothly, Hinata overjoyed that Deidara agreed to let her become a bartender once she's showing. Kakashi is rather active that night, giving blowjobs and hand jobs and flirting a lot. He corners Hinata when the club is about to close, gently stopping her. "C'mere."

"Um- Okay." She follows, kinda confused. Kakashi presses a wad of bills into her hands, clearly all his tips from that night.

"Stay healthy. Don't skimp on vitamins and stuff."

"Kakashi, I- I can't accept this-" Kakashi gently shushes her.

"You can and you will. Dei's the leader now so I don't really need it."

"But-"

"Shush. Take it. I'll meet you and Kiba at the clinic in four hours." She nods meekly, thanking him before leaving to find Kiba. Kakashi heads off to find Deidara and take care of his poor partner. Deidara is sleeping at his desk, computer showing row after row of 'v's from where his chin is. Kakashi picks his love up, carrying him to bed. Deidara lies limp in his arms. Kakashi tucks him into bed, laying a cool cloth on Deidara's neck. Deidara mutters in his sleep. Kakashi listens. It's nonsense about someone Kakashi has never heard of before.

"Aran... Don' 'r I'll smerjsjdnxi" Deidara mumbles, tossing and turning. All Kakashi can think is 'What the actual fuck?'. Kakashi gently pets his hair, tucking him in better. Deidara tries to throw the blankets off, rolling onto his stomach. Kakashi takes the blankets off him, calling Shizune. She looks him over, giving Kakashi instructions to keep a wet rag on his forehead and to give him medicine to keep the fever down. Kakashi thanks her, giving Deidara it. Dei resists, trying to squirm away in his half asleep state.

"Nuu..." Kakashi pets his hair.

"Shh... It's okay. Just me." Deidara lies still with a soft whimper. Kakashi carefully feeds him the medicine, rewetting the cloth. Deidara snuggles under the blankets, falling back into a restless sleep. Kakashi takes a shower and stays with Deidara until he has to leave for the clinic.

Kiba and Hinata are waiting for him nervously. Kakashi greets them, quietly explaining the situation to the counter clerk. She gets them with a doctor as quickly as she can. The doctor has Hinata lay down on the little bed/chair, pushing up her shirt and lightly feeling her stomach.

"When was your last period?"

"Over a month ago." He nods, pressing closer to her pelvis.

"Do you have a pretty steady cycle? Or are you often late?"

"I've never been late before." He nods. After a few more questions, the doctor hands her a small device and puts her shirt back.

"Please go into the bathroom and take this pregnancy test. To double check." She nods and leaves to do so. She comes back and after a few minutes it reads positive. The doctor reads the test and nods.

"I'd estimate that you're about seven weeks along. You should start showing in about three weeks, which is when I want you back here. Until then, no junk food and eat healthy." She thanks him and when they leave she pays with what Kakashi gave her and sets up the next appointment. They then head home, absolutely exhausted. Kakashi makes sure they get home safe before hurrying off to check on Dei.

The blonde seems to be okay, and he hasn't really moved since Kakashi left. Kakashi rewets his towel, kissing Deidara's forehead. Deidara mumbles nonsense. Kakashi snuggles into bed as well, falling asleep.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

That night, Kakashi wakes up with Dei on top of him. Kakashi holds him close, nuzzling at Dei happily. Deidara grumbles softly. Kakashi kisses his head.

"Morning, love."

"Mrn…" Kakashi gently rubs his back, pressing kisses to his neck.

"How do you feel?" Deidara answers with a quiet groan. Kakashi nuzzles at him with a soft whine.

"Poor thing..." Deidara hides against him, feverishly hot skin pressing against Kakashi's neck. Kakashi cradles him close.

"You're staying home today. I'll send Shizune to stay with you." Deidara's already shaking his head.

"Don' wan'." Deidara mumbles.

"Well, you're going to. Shizune's gunna take care of you today. I'll handle the club."

"She's m'n." Deidara pouts, clinging to him. Last time he was sick, she nearly killed him when she learned he'd been going to work that way for over a week before she found out. Kakashi gently mouths at his neck.

"She's just worried about you."

"She's m'n."

"You're staying with her today. Now, do you want me to help you shower? Or Shizune?"

"Why c'n't you 'tay?" Deidara looks up at him with puppydog eyes. Kakashi kisses his nose.

"I have to take care of the club, lovey."

"Ge' 'Sori to." Kakashi shakes his head. He helps Deidara sit up.

"Shower with me or Shizune?" Deidara sleepily rubs at his eyes.

"Y'u." He looks adorably vulnerable. Kakashi can't help kissing his cheek again, helping Deidara to the shower. After the shower, Deidara kisses Kakashi's neck sloppily as he's leading Dei back to bed, trying the only way he knows how to get Kashi to stay. Kakashi gently stops him, nuzzling Deidara.

"Baby, baby no. You're sick." Deidara lets go of him, dropping his gaze and crawling back into bed once he has pajamas.

"S'ry." Deidara hides under the blanket. Kakashi touches the blanket, nuzzling at him.

"It's not that I don't want to stay... I have to go to work, love." Deidara peeks out at him from under the blanket.

"W'y?"

"Because I need to take care of everything and check on everyone. Hinata's starting her training." Deidara drops his gaze.

"'kay…" Kakashi kisses his forehead.

"I'll be back a little later than normal. I'm taking customers then I'm gunna go work on the house."

"Oh. Okay." Deidara sounds quieter than normal, but that's probably just because he's sick. Kakashi sits on the bed, tugging on his nice boots.

"I made you soup, it's in the fridge for you and Shizune. Call the bar if you need me, Minato will get me no matter what." Deidara nods, rolling over to get comfortable and to hide from Kashi.

"Love you." Deidara whispers just loud enough to be heard. Kakashi gently touches his hair, kissing Deidara's shoulder before getting up from the bed.

"Love you too. Remember, you have to take your pills in two hours." Kakashi says bye and heads out.

"Bye…" Kakashi arrives at work, getting everyone up and feeding them again. He organizes the show and gives everyone their assignments for the night, pushing Hinata to train with Minato.

He works his ass off, quite literally in fact, working long past closing and then borrowing Dei's car so he can work on the house. Kakashi comes home at about eight in the morning, absolutely exhausted. Shizune is gone by then, and Deidara is still waiting where he moved to when she left. He's asleep on the couch, curled up a bit against the cold since he doesn't have a blanket. His eyes are a little redder than Kakashi remembers, but that's probably from him being sick. Kakashi lifts him and carries him to the bed, checking his temperature. It appears that his fever has broken, Deidara still a little warm but not outright feverish. Kakashi tucks him in, rewetting his cloth first. He takes a shower then hops in bed nude, that habit from Orochimaru having stuck. Deidara tries to squirm away.

"Sh'une, I'mma wait for 'Kashi…" Kakashi pulls him back close, nuzzling Deidara and spooning around him.

"It's me, Love." Deidara rolls over to snuggle close before falling mostly back asleep. Kakashi chuckles tiredly, murmuring a soft 'love you' before falling asleep with him.
