The next day, Deidara avoids the club completely. Other than the occasional necessary word about work, Obito also seems to be avoiding Kakashi. At the end of the night, the elevator dings cheerfully. Dei looks up, expecting Obito and getting Kakashi. Deidara looks up, frozen in shock. After a few seconds, he hurriedly wraps up his phone conversation and hangs up. Kakashi steps out of the elevator cautiously, back nearly pressed against the doors.
"Hey, Kashi." Deidara tries to keep his voice from shaking, sitting on the couch. Kashi steps into the room just a little bit more, still in his skimpy stage clothes.
"Hey."
"How- How was work?" Kakashi gives a tiny shrug, pulling his mask down.
"Your boy needs help with flirting." Deidara drops his gaze at that, drawing his legs to his chest.
"I- I'm sorry. About everything. I- know I'm not normal, but I never- I never meant to hurt you." Kakashi takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly.
"I'm sorry. I get sarcastic and nasty when I'm uncomfortable. Um- I just need clothes." Deidara nods, curling up a little more and letting Kakashi walk past him. Kakashi lets out a slightly exasperated laugh when he opens the drawers. "You put our clothes all together again. Can you tell me if this is yours?"
Deidara glances up, shaking his head that no, it isn't his. Kakashi packs a small bag, hesitating a little when he opens the closet. He quickly takes his collar, glancing back to see if Deidara noticed. He sees Deidara quickly drop his gaze to hide his tears. Kashi rubs the shoe print off it, slowly putting it back. He quickly closes the closet, heading to the bathroom to grab his glasses before heading to the elevator.
"W-Wait." Kakashi stops, clutching his bag a little tighter. Deidara looks up at him, tears in his eyes and appearing to be one blow away from breaking completely. "Please."
Kakashi turns around completely, waiting for him to speak. "Please don't go."
"Why?" Kakashi drops his gaze. "You've got someone else."
"I love you. I'm sorry."
"But you love him. How do you love two people?"
"I- I'm poly. I don't- I was born this way." Deidara realizes that this is probably why Kakashi wants to leave. "But- But I don't have to be. It can just be you and me."
Kakashi inches over to the couch, sitting down and looking at Deidara. "But don't you... Like, compare people? If you love two?"
"Nu-uh."
"What's it like then?"
"I just love you both. It's a normal relationship but with three people instead of two."
"How does that work?"
"Well- sometimes everyone loves everyone. Or two people are really good friends and one person loves two people. I just- I love you both." Kakashi nods slightly, chewing on his lip.
"Isn't it weird if not everyone loves another?"
"Well- Well I didn't think about that… I'm sure we can figure something out?"
"And what happens if everyone fights?"
"This." Kakashi shrinks back a little, dropping his gaze.
"Sorry. Do you want me to leave? You can just find someone else and they'll probably know all this already." Deidara practically tackles him to the couch.
"N- No! Er- Sorry, I just-" Deidara clings to what bit of a shirt he has, hiding against him. Kakashi hesitantly hugs him, gently nuzzling at Deidara.
"I'm right here, baby doll. Right here." Obito walks in to this, Deidara practically laying across Kakashi on the couch. Deidara clings to Kakashi, hiding against him and totally mortified. Kakashi holds Deidara protectively closer, ready to tell Obito off before faltering as he remembers that he's supposed to love him. Obito awkwardly sits on the couch with them.
"So, are we gunna talk about this, or…?" He raises an eyebrow at the two of them. Kakashi carefully situates Deidara so when he sits up, Dei's still in his lap. Kashi gently noses at his hair.
"Go ahead." Deidara nods, quickly explaining that he's poly. He trips over his words a bit, but they get the gist. Then come the questions.
Obito speaks up, looking at the way Deidara is situated securely in Kakashi's lap. "How does BDSM and the dynamics work with three people?"
"Two Doms one pet or two pets one Dom, yeah." Kakashi tightens his hold on Deidara just a little bit, the blondie knowing how Kakashi feels as a sub around others. He rumbles quietly as he talks.
"Does everyone live together? Like one big happy orgy?" Deidara nods.
"Basically, yeah. We'd have to figure out the specifics eventually, yeah. I mean- Kashi doesn't really like subbing around other people, yeah." Deidara tips his head back to nuzzle at Kakashi gently, everything forgiven as far as he's concerned. Kashi steals a soft kiss, thumbing lightly over Deidara's stomach.
"So, is it kinda like that show, sister wives?" Obito inquiries. Kakashi's mumbled "I am not popping out eight babies anytime soon" gets a grin from Obito.
"Basically, yeah. Except I doubt you'll just be my bitches, yeah." He chuckles at the looks he gets from both of them. Kakashi nuzzles into his shoulder, speaking so only Deidara hears him.
"So we each have like assigned nights with you? And time is devoted to you just being with him or just being with me?"
"Well, we could all three hang out together too, yeah."
"Oh." He goes back to holding Deidara close, only Dei seeing the little grabby hands Obito gives him that clearly say "I want cuddles too!". Deidara squirms a little, moving so he's laying across both of their laps. Kashi gently strokes his hair, Obito happily starting in on a foot massage, the pair earning a sound of contentment.
"'course, having two 'wives' as bitches won't get any complaints from me, yeah." He gets a smack in the foot and the shoulder for his comment. The other two men then high five. Deidara rolls his eyes, but is unable to completely suppress his grin. "Jerks."
Kakashi grins back at him while Obito crows his usual "punk-ass bitch" back. Deidara huffs, falling silent. Kakashi ends up dozing off on the end of the couch, Obito checking to make sure he's actually asleep before waggling his eyebrows at Deidara. Deidara pushes Obito back with his foot, mouthing a 'no' to whatever he's planning. Obito gives him puppy dog eyes.
"Just because Count Von Stick-up-his-ass is afraid of sex doesn't mean we have to be...!" Deidara puts his foot against Obito's face.
"No, un. I'm comfortable, yeah."
"You could be much better than comfortable...?" Deidara pats Obito's face with his foot, snuggling a little bit closer between them so he's comfortable.
"Mm… No, un." Obito gives him more pouty faces. Deidara yawns overdramatically, pretending to fall asleep. He can feels Obito's fingers start at the inside of his knee and slowly climb higher and higher… Deidara slaps his hand away. The loud "ow!" wakes Kakashi. Deidara glares at Obito a bit. "Serves you right, yeah."
Kakashi stretches and yawns, gently touching Deidara's hair. "Bedtime..." Deidara complains about having to move, snuggling a bit more into Kakashi's lap.
"Dei... We've tried this. We always fuck up our backs on this couch."
"Damn, un. I'm comfortable, yeah."
"Snuggle in bed with me. Er- and Obito." Deidara looks at the two of them.
"You okay with this, un?" At both their nods, they get up. They head to bed, Deidara quickly falling asleep snuggled between the two of them and leaving his boys alone to the awkward 'how do we sleep like this' conundrum. They eventually end up switching positions, with Deidara facing Obito and Kakashi's back to Deidara's back. But because Deidara was asleep and didn't move, Kakashi still feels a little pang of jealousy that his back is to Deidara's. That's resolved when he hears Obito complaining about Deidara's squirming, Kakashi secretly pleased that Obito's dealing with it instead of him. Kakashi chuckles softly, turning around and spooning Deidara. The blondie stops squirming against them.
"He doesn't move if you spoon him. But he sleeps facing people so..." Kashi smiles just a little. "Best of both worlds now?"
"Looks like it. Um- good night, Kakashi."
"Good night, Obito."
