It takes four and a half weeks for Kakashi's stitches to come out. He refuses to let Deidara or Obito see them before they're taken out (No. I got it. Okay… I'll just wait for Dei to shower then.), clearly just not comfortable with the thick black lines that crawl down his face (Hey- what happened to the bathroom mirror, un? Oh. I thought we needed a new one. So I hit it.). In the intermediate time, they work on their relationship. Deidara and Obito don't hide all the extra time they spend together anymore (You said you did work together. ...Sex on the desk counts, yeah? And we dance for each other, too!), but Kakashi's isn't upset once they talk about it (... I told Kiba I knew that the finances were off. Yeah, I'm not that good at math, un… Not with sex in the mix anyways.). Obito and Kakashi have started to figure out their differences (Okay, okay! I'll move the knives! Thank you.Fucking almost cut my hand open the other day. ...I'll stop going through the drawers.) and are working on how their snarky friendship fits into a relationship where they love each other (Really, those shorts with that top? Yeah, yeah. I know I'm gorgeous. Try not to drool on stage.), though it's rather slow going sometimes (Kakashi, I said I was sorry! That wasn't a joke and you know it.). Deidara has learn a rather hard lesson about how many times he can call Kakashi his bitch before the other man snaps (You know, 'Bito, I'm glad I've got a bitch who can cook- ow! Call me that again and I'll hit you with more than a spatula.), and how he can be himself and keep the integrity of their old relationship and this new one.
Things are starting to go more smoothly though, so it's an improvement over when they first started. When Deidara and Obito wake up their morning after trying double penetration (it was rather interesting), Kakashi's already pulling on jeans and a sweater. Obito reaches out, pulling him back down on the bed. Kashi chuckles lowly, nuzzling at him.
"Hello."
"Wher' you goin'?" Obito grumbles, trying to tug him down further. Kakashi relents a little bit, kissing his forehead gently.
"I'm going to get the stitches out, love. You sleep. The girls all know what to do while I'm gone."
"'ll c'me too." Kakashi shakes his head, gently carding his fingers through Obito's hair.
"You are rightfully tired. Sleep. I'll be home before you know it." Obito clings to him, shaking his head.
"Nu-uh." Kashi gently eases Obito back to the bed, giving him a soft kiss before standing up.
"Sleep tight, cutie." Obito pouts, the expression absolutely pitiful on him. Kakashi hesitates, gently petting his hair. "... I'm leaving in five minutes. Be ready to go by then." Obito scrambles out of bed to go get dressed. Once he's gone, Deidara snuggles close to where Kakashi is sitting on the bed. Kakashi pets his hair, smiling a little. Deidara clings to his sweater, nuzzling at him. Kakashi kisses at his head, lightly rubbing his back.
"You feeling okay? Last night was… intense."
"Mm-hmm… 're you sore, un?" Kakashi blushes softly and nods, smiling a little wider.
"The good kinda sore, though." Deidara smiles softly at him.
"Your stitches come out today, yeah? Want me to come with, un?" Kakashi shakes his head, biting his lip.
"Naw. Obito conned me into letting him go, but you should sleep, ne?"
"'kay." Deidara smiles at him softly, kissing him chastely. Kakashi lightly rubs his back, tucking Deidara back in. He grabs the car keys when Obito skids back in the room, smiling nervously.
"Wanna drive?" Obito catches the keys that're thrown to him, wrapping an arm around Kakashi's waist.
"Sure! Come on." Obito leads Kakashi to the elevator, arm comforting around his waist. Kakashi leans into him gratefully, holding his hand on the way there. Obito sits in the waiting room for him, following him into the room when they go to take the stitches out. When the doctor unwinds all the bandages, Obito gets his first look at the damage. He can see everything better as the doctor quickly takes out all the stitches. From a medical standpoint, it all appears to be healing nicely. The scabs are mostly gone and there's almost no inflammation and no infection. From an aesthetic standpoint, it's gruesome. It's easy to see he could be classically handsome, but the scar runs vertically from his eyebrow to just above his mouth. The left eye is ruined, a prosthetic holding the eye's place. The scar looks rather thick and pink, still in the healing stages. Kakashi doesn't look at Obito even when the doctor says they're good to go. Obito gently leads him back to the car when they're done, driving him back to the club.
"Do you want to watch the girls for a while? I'm sure Dei's not up yet." Obito asks as they pull up to the club. Kakashi nods mutely, getting out of the car quickly. The club is in full swing when they walk in, more people than usual crowded around the stage. Hinata calls a hello to them from the bar where she's started taking part time shifts.
"Hey, guys! Quite a turnout tonight. You're just in time to see his act. I thought Kiba was gunna die when he found out." She gets them a couple of drinks, all smiles. Kakashi downs his in one go, closing his eyes at the slide of alcohol.
"What happened to the acts?" She looks at him in absolute surprise.
"Well- You know Dei's performing tonight, right?" Kakashi opens his eyes, blinking at her.
"Could've sworn you just said that Dei's performing tonight."
"Yeah. He's doing his old puppy-dog act." Kakashi pinches the bridge of his nose, sighing quietly.
"Who's in town tonight?"
"No one. He said you were having a rough time, is all." The silver-haired man blinks at her in utter surprise, turning around in a slight daze when everyone starts cheering. He sees his sub in the skimpiest half-shirt and shorts, decked out in puppy gear. Dei seems content to dance and work the pole, ignoring the crowd until smiling hugely when he sees his boyfriends at the bar. Deidara doesn't work the crowd after his act, instead strutting straight over to the bar while Kiba distracts the patrons. Kakashi immediately turns the ruined side of his face away, expecting Deidara to plop down in Obito's lap. He gives the glasses back to Hinata, getting ready to go.
He's trapped when a giggling blondie is suddenly in his lap and kissing him. Kakashi freezes at first, still and unyielding against Deidara's pliant lips. He eventually lets his eyes slide shut and kisses him back. Deidara breaks the kiss after a few moments, kissing his cheek where the scar ends.
"Hi, Master." Kakashi blinks at him, a rather stunned 'um-' escaping. Obito sniggers in the background with Hinata. Deidara frowns, looking up at him worriedly with that 'did I fuck up' look that he's started doing since Pein whipped him all to hell. He likes to be prepared. Kakashi gently cups his cheek, kissing his forehead.
"Have you had anything to drink, love?" Deidara shakes his head, stealing a kiss. Kashi's hand slides back into his hair, lightly holding him in place. "I think you missed the lap you were looking for by a barstool. 'Bito's right there, hun. I'mma go hang out downstairs, okay?" Deidara shakes his head, clinging to Kakashi's shirt.
"Please don't leave, Sir." Kakashi bites his lip, Deidara practically able to see the struggle going on in his head. He can almost see the 'sorry, but no' on the tip of Kashi's tongue. Deidara drops his gaze as tears fill his eyes because 'damn it, Master doesn't like crying, un. You're ruining his night, yeah.' Gentle hands cup his face and tip it up, making him look into Kakashi's mismatched eyes. He gives a little smile for Deidara.
"I'll stay up here with you. Would you like some water, pup?" Deidara smiles hugely, hugging him before pulling back to kiss him sweetly.
"Yes please, un." Hinata slides a water over to them, Kakashi helping his puppy drink. Obito waggles his eyebrows at Dei when Kakashi isn't looking, making a motion to the elevator. Deidara blushes, nuzzling at Kashi. "Wanna go downstairs, un?"
Kakashi nods, thanking Hinata and giving it back. He keeps an arm possessively tight around Deidara's waist now that he knows the blondie won't just dump him, glaring at anyone who makes a move toward them. Deidara nuzzles at his Master happily, content to not stray from him. Obito throws a careless arm over Kakashi's shoulders once they're in the elevator, grinning at his shocked expression.
"Nice surprise?" Obito asks with a grin. Kakashi nods mutely, unable to help from poking Obito to make sure this is real. Obito chuckles. "You aren't dreaming, yeah."
"How did you… Why-?" Deidara looks up at him in confusion.
"'cause we love you, Master."
"Oh." He starts. Kashi tries again. "Oh." He drags Obito and Deidara into a tight hug, murmuring a 'thank you' in it's midst. He gets two 'you're welcome's in return. The elevator lets them out, letting Kakashi drag Obito into a deep kiss. Deidara steals Kakashi's hand while Obito kisses him back. Kashi breaks it to murmur a "love, go prep yourself and sit against the wall." to Deidara, immediately latching back onto Obito's mouth. Deidara whines softly, leaving to do as he's told. Kakashi pushes Obito against the wall, hands sliding up his shirt.
"You okay with this?" Obito groans softly, kissing him again.
"Of course." Kakashi grins slightly before returning to kissing him, stopping only to ditch their shirts and start ridding Obito of his pants. Obito helps him, pulling him into another kiss. Kakashi pushes off Obito's boxers, slotting a knee between his legs to grind against him.
"Bed." Obito nods, dragging him to the bed. Deidara is in their room, biting his lip hard as he watches the two. Kakashi chuckles lowly, beckoning him closer. He ducks down to suck Obito to full hardness, humming happily. Deidara hesitates, not sure what to do. Obito solves the problem, kissing Dei deeply and slipping two fingers in him to make sure he's properly prepared. They slide in easily, Deidara kissing him back. Kakashi pulls off Obito to fully strip, snapping his fingers at Deidara. It's their normal signal for 'lie flat now'. Deidara moves off of Obito as well, lying on the bed with his gaze lowered submissively. Obito rubs his upper thigh encouragingly, catching the condom Kakashi tosses at him and putting it on.
"Know how good you are, pet? How perfect and wonderful for us?" Deidara gives a little nod, fidgeting a bit. Obito tugs his hips up a little bit, slicking himself up and laying across Deidara to totally pin him to the bed as he slowly pushes in. Deidara hides his face against the bed to stifle a moan, squirming a little. Obito starts a hard, fast pace, fucking their puppy roughly. He lets up a little, only for Kakashi to slip a cockring on the unsuspecting mutt. Deidara whines.
"Master…!" Kakashi laughs at his whines, straddling Deidara's thighs. He starts prepping Obito, nice and slow compared to the constant pressure on his cock. Obito moans lowly, fucking Deidara nice and slow. Kashi opens him up wide, growling a quiet "I'm going to fuck you so hard our puppy will feel it" as he enters Obito. Both Obito and Deidara moan when Kakashi starts a hard pace, Obito mirroring it and pounding into Deidara. Obito doesn't last long between the tight ass around him and the thick cock in him, cumming with a shout in Deidara. He pulls out of the blondie, Kakashi kisses him deep and filthy before sliding in Dei with a smooth thrust. Deidara moans loudly, moving back against him.
"Good boy… fuck- so good. Are you my good little slut? Taking both your Doms and not cumming?"
"Yes. Yes. Fuck- Please, Master." Kakashi fucks him faster, wrapping a hand around his dick to jerk him off quickly.
"Please what?"
"Please let me cum. Ah- fuck-" Deidara whimpers as the cock ring stops his orgasm. Kakashi groans as Deidara tightens around him, burying his face in Deidara's tanned skin.
"What do you say, pretty boy?"
"Please…!" Kashi huffs a quiet laugh, looking at the rather blissed out Obito for confirmation. Unfortunately for their puppy, Obito smirks instead of nodding. It takes a few more thrusts before Kakashi is cumming hard in him. He pants for a moment before pulling out and tossing the condom. He snuggles close to Obito, pulling Deidara into the cuddles. However, the puppy stays on his back so they can tease at his steadily leaking cock whenever they want. Deidara whimpers and whines while Obito and Kakashi chat about god knows what. One or the other will always reach over at some point in their conversation and pinch Deidara's nipples, or stroke his cock, or run a finger along his hole. After the first few times, Deidara can't tell whether he wants to cross his legs and try to hide in mortification, or spread his legs for them to fuck him again. He settles for blushing and fidgeting enough that his Doms contemplate binding him in place.
"Keep that up and you won't be cumming for the next week." Deidara freezes, looking over at Kakashi with wide eyes. Kashi grins at him, purposefully thumbing over his head. "Sit still." Deidara whines softly, just barely managing not to move. He goes back to talking with Obito, both of them lavishing enough touches on him so that he's not squirming as much and knows that they love him. He's still hard, however, and after a while the whimpers start up again. Kakashi glances over at Obito, arching an eyebrow. Obito looks at Deidara for a moment before glancing back up at Kakashi.
"Mm… I dunno. It's getting pretty late." Kakashi yawns, taking his hand off Deidara.
"True. Wanna go to sleep? 'm in the mood for cuddles."
"Masters-" Deidara whines, quickly dropping his gaze at Obito's 'I'm trying to look intimidating but coming off mad' Dom look. Kakashi kisses Obito, softening the other man's expression for when he looks at Deidara again.
"Did we tell you to talk yet?"
"N- No, Sir. I'm sorry." Deidara is under orders not to move, so he just keeps his gaze lowered. He listens as his Doms get ready for bed, quiet murmurs and the rustling of clothes until they climb in bed. When he shuts his eyes so as not to let his frustrated tears falls, he misses Kashi climbing between his legs. He registers the cock ring coming off first, then Obito's slick fingers prodding at his entrance while Kashi's warm mouth swallows him down. Deidara moans and squirms, unsure what to do with his hands, but managing to stutter something like "can I cum." His hands end up fisting in the sheets while his orgasm rocks through him from Obito's quiet words of confirmation then praise. Deidara goes limp, panting hard.
He blanks out for a little bit, retreating to his subspace. When Deidara wakes up, he's in the fluffiest, comfiest pair of pajamas they own and smooshed between an equally fluffy Obito and a nude Kakashi. He hides against whichever one happens to be in front of him, dropping hard after so long of not really subbing. They cuddle him close, the sub drop not quite as bad with both boys murmuring his praises and being so close. But then he thinks out of the blue "why weren't my first few years of subbing this good, un?" and it's just instant waterworks. After lots of soothing, two glasses of water, and a good deal of tissues, everyone is settled down again and cuddled around Deidara. They all fall asleep together in a cuddly pile.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Exactly two months, seventeen days, and four hours later, Kakashi gets a phone call that makes him leave in the middle of their dinner. He never touches his phone except to end calls at dinner. But when he's gone for a while, Deidara and Obito go to check up on him. There's a note stuck to the elevator doors- Have a possible lead on him. Be back before bedtime. and signed with a tiny scarecrow- and Kakashi's favorite coat is gone. Deidara and Obito don't even stop to fetch coats before going after him. Hinata's still behind the bar, cleaning glasses. Kiba's hanging out with her, gently rocking their baby to keep it entertained. Deidara runs over to them.
"Did you see which way Kakashi went, un?" Kiba nods, looking a little worried.
"Um- he said Seventh and Van Gogh? The hot dog stand on the corner. I'm supposed to call you if he doesn't come back after half an hour." Deidara thanks him and says they'll be back, taking a different car over there. When he arrives, there's no Kakashi. Their contact there says that Kashi never even came by here, he's just holding the bounty money.
"Bounty money from what target?" Deidara asks, holding up a hand to stem Obito's questions.
"Uh- something Iwa. I don't really get told. I'm just the transfer point."
"Do you know where the person who's supposed to meet you bagged the guy?" The older man shakes his head impotently, just as Deidara's phone goes off to the tune of 'Bringing Sexy Back'. It's his Kakashi ringtone. He answers the phone. "Where are you?"
His father's low voice rumbles through the phone. "Aww, concerned? Don't worry. I'll keep him even safer than I kept you."
"Son of a bitch. Where the hell are you?"
"Oh, you can have him back when we're done. Seems your boyfriend- should I say fiance? Or little fuck toy?- put a hit out on me. On behalf of the mafia. I'm simply returning the favor."
"I will find you, and I will kill you." His father laughs, voice dropping to a bone-chilling whisper that always used to mean more punishment or another session.
"You are going to go home. You will sit there and fuck with your bit on the side. Tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock, you will head to St. Mary's hospital and pick up what's left of your pathetic boyfriend."
"...Fine." Deidara glares at nothing in particular. There's a bloodcurdling scream in the background and his father laughs.
"Good bye, worthless slut." When the line goes dead, Deidara checks the tracker on his phone, already running to the car.
"Obito, come on. We gotta go." Obito hops in the car, looking at him in total confusion.
"What is going on-?"
"No time to explain." Deidara drives to the specified address, running every red light they come across. Fifteen minutes later, they screech to a halt in front of one of the older abandoned building. Dilapidated boxes languish in the sun and there's a few highly suspicious cars parked outside. Deidara parks, getting a gun out of the trunk. Obito's eyes widen at the sight, the tall man balking a bit.
"What the hell-"
"Look, I promise I'll explain when we have the time. But either take this or stay in the car." Deidara says, offering him a different pistol. Obito swallows hard and takes it gingerly. They walk in, guns at the ready, to Kakashi pushing a tall stiletto through someone's chest. There are bodies everywhere, various knives or holes in them. A few are still moaning pathetically on the floor. Deidara relaxes a bit. "You really did a number on them."
Kashi takes his heel out of the man's chest with a sick squelching sound, smiling pleasantly. "They underestimated me, as always. I got your father. He's nailed to the other door."
"Dead?"
"In a matter of minutes." Kakashi starts picking up his knives, the blades virtually disappearing to places on his person. Deidara leaves to go find his father while Obito stands frozen in the doorway. They hear shot after shot going off just down the hall, Deidara pouring the pain of years of abuse into his father as bullets. Kakashi walks over to Obito, gently cupping his face. "You okay?" Obito looks at Kakashi like he has no head.
"Okay? Why the hell would I be okay?" Kakashi winces a little, leading Obito back to the car to sit him down.
"Breathe." Obito just barely manages to do as Kakashi instructs.
"What the hell was that?" Kashi cards his fingers through Obito's hair, trying to calm him down.
"Mafia business. Don't worry. It shouldn't happen again that you have to come with."
"I knew Dei'd killed but this is a whole other kind of fucked up. What the hell?!" Kakashi shrugs a little.
"I grew up like this."
"I don't even- Why'd you call Dei like that?" Obito tries to find some way to avoid the subject. Kakashi blinks.
"I never called Deidara."
"Your ringtone went off and Deidara was really upset when he got off the phone. Snapped at me to get in the car and we wound up here." Kakashi swears quietly under his breath.
"Stay. I'm going to get him." Kakashi leaves, going to find Deidara. Deidara is a sobbing wreck, his father reduced to a bloody mess on the door and the gun having been tossed aside when he sank down to curl up on the floor. Kakashi kneels down, carefully picking Deidara up to carry him away from the gruesome scene. Deidara squirms out of his arms when they get outside.
"Are you hurt? I heard the scream and-" Kakashi hushes him with a soft kiss.
"I have a few nicks, but that was when I stabbed a man through the eye. Not me."
"Oh. Oh Kashi, I'm so sorry." Kakashi pulls him close, letting Deidara hide against him.
"He's gone. Forever." Deidara nods, clinging to him. Kashi holds him impossibly close, kissing over his head. When they get back to the car, Obito's sitting in the passenger seat staring out the window. Kakashi puts Deidara on Obito's lap, climbing in the driver's seat. "Home." Obito nods a bit, Deidara worriedly cupping his cheek.
"Obito? You okay, un?" Obito hugs Deidara tightly, hiding against him. He shakes his head. Deidara holds him close, murmuring reassurances like he isn't splattered with his father's blood. "Shh… It's okay, yeah."
Kakashi starts driving them home, helping his boys out of the car when they arrive. He gives Obito a few Advil and puts him to bed, pulling Deidara into the shower to wash him off. Deidara sighs once they get out and dry off.
"We have to explain this all to him eventually, yeah." Kakashi nods, kissing Deidara's forehead.
"I know. Right now is about you, though."
"Un?" Kakashi pulls him into a big hug, nuzzling at his love.
"How do you feel?"
"It's weird, un. For so long I wanted him dead, yeah. It's like- I don't know what to do now, un." Kakashi gently pets his hair.
"Get married. Rule the Mafia. Fuck your boyfriends."
"Yeah…" Kakashi kisses him softly, cupping Deidara's face and peering at him.
"Sure you're okay?" Deidara nods, giving a tired little smile. Kakashi easily scoops him up, carrying him into bed for snuggles. Deidara worms his way into the middle between Kakashi and Obito, nuzzling at Kakashi. Kashi kisses at him, murmuring 'i love you's against his skin. Deidara murmurs them back, one leg going between Kakashi's to pull him closer. Kakashi wraps him up in warm hugs and even warmer sweet nothings, making sure Deidara feels safe and loved. Deidara snuggles a little closer, falling asleep in his arms.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Deidara wakes up the next morning, the customary warmth of both his partners missing. Kakashi still cuddled against his front, but Obito is gone. Deidara slips out of bed, padding into the living room to look for him. He's watching television, unable to see. It's old reruns of some sort of warrior show. Deidara sits on the couch beside him, looking at him worriedly.
"Love?" Obito curls against him, whining softly.
"He put a heel through his chest. I- I always thought he was joking when he said he could kill someone with his heels."
"It's the life, 'Bito. He'd be dead if he couldn't, yeah." Obito hides against his shoulder, shaking his head in denial. Deidara kisses the top of his head. "He grew up having to defend himself, yeah."
"From wh- what? He's just a stripper."
"At a club for mafia tycoons, yeah." Obito shrugs a little bit, not emerging from his shoulder. The elevator 'ding's quietly, opening to spit out a harried looking Sakura.
"Um- we need Kakashi."
"What's wrong, un?" Deidara very carefully extracts himself from Obito, heading over to her.
"One of the girls is freaking out. His buddy doesn't know how to help. Kakashi's really good with everyone." Sakura drops her gaze submissively as he gets closer, hunching to try and appear smaller. He places a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Alright, un." He turns to his partner on the couch. "Will you please go wake Kakashi up, love?"
Obito heads off, leaving the two of them alone. "So, how've you been, Sakura?"
"Alright. My mom's doing a lot better. She's in remission again. How've you been?"
"That's good to hear, un. I'm doing well, yeah." Kakashi comes hurrying out of the bedroom with Obito trailing behind. Kakashi steers Sakura into the elevator, the pink-haired girl explaining what happened as the doors close. Deidara gently guides Obito back to the couch once they're gone. Obito curls close to him, hugging Deidara tightly.
"How did Kakashi grow up?"
"He lived at the club, yeah." Obito looks at him, expression faintly horrified.
"What?"
"He was raised by the strippers here, yeah."
"What- What kind of parents do that?"
"Dead ones, yeah." Obito shudders, snuggling closer. Deidara holds him close. "He really is sweet, un. He just knows how to be dangerous when he needs to be, yeah."
"So all those knives…?"
"Habit, yeah. He's been through hell and wants to be prepared, un." Obito shudders again, snuggling closer to Deidara. It seems that he's fine with the perks and the whores aspect, just not as good with blood and killing. Deidara hugs him a little tighter. "I'm sorry for bringing you there, un. I panicked, yeah. You can leave all that stuff to us from now on, un."
Obito nods, nuzzling into his chest. "Why did you freak out when Kakashi called you?"
"Because he didn't call me, un. My, um, my dad called to say he was going to torture Kakashi. And then there was this scream and I-" Deidara takes a deep, shuddery breath. "He said he was going to do to Kakashi what he did to me. I was not about to let that happen."
Obito peers up at him, dragging Deidara down into a slightly rough kiss. "'m sorry."
"It's fine, un." Deidara kisses him again, a softer kiss. Obito moulds his mouth to Deidara's, gently holding him. Deidara pulls him desperately closer. Obito ends up on top of him, kissing him back desperately and hands skittering everywhere over his body. The kiss heats up, Deidara wrapping his arms around Obito's neck. They end up screwing on the couch, all desperate hands and mingled breaths and 'oh god please fuckfuckfuck's. Both curl up in bed with some sort of premade hot chocolate that doesn't compare to Kakashi's. They watch various reruns of Friends all night, not watching the show tonight. When Kakashi comes downstairs after closing, he finds the pair asleep together. Kakashi strips and crawls into bed, curling around Obito.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When Kakashi wakes up the next morning, only Obito is in bed. Kakashi grumbles quietly, curling further around the human furnace. "'Bito. Where's Dei." Obito grumbles, hiding against him and falling back asleep. Kakashi reluctantly gets out of bed, pulling on Deidara's boxers and going to find the blondie. He finds a note saying Dei's covering for Hinata, and to make sure Obito's okay. It's signed with the kanji for 'teal', something Dei started up when he got scolded for sloppy writing. Kakashi makes breakfast, pulling on one of his more wicked outfits because why not?. He wakes up Obito and gets the food in him before the big oaf falls asleep again. Kakashi then heads upstairs to see Deidara and help out with bartending. Deidara's chatting up a customer when Kakashi gets down there, conning him into buying drinks. Kakashi starts to work on the other patrons lingering around the bar, getting the girls to go out and work the floor.
When they head down after closing, Obito's watching the Notebook. Kakashi cautiously sets a box of tissues down and flees to make dinner. He quietly gestures at Deidara to come with him. Deidara follows, biting his lip as he watches Obito.
"We need to talk to him, un. He's really torn up, yeah." Kakashi chews at his own lip, a sure sign that he's nervous.
"... I wannatellhimeverything."
