Deidara walked into the kitchen casually, not really expecting anyone to be there, but he quickly noticed the pair's presence, and the horrible awkward silence that accompanied the two.
Hidan and Olivia were both still sitting at the table, Hidan still had some food left, but Olivia had already finished, and didn't really know what to do with her dirty plate.
"Hey guys," Deidara smiled at the two, walking over to the fridge to grab some leftovers to eat.
Hidan just gave Deidara a glance, not really feeling like giving the blond the time of day.
Olivia however, perked up, "Hi Deidara!" She smiled at the blond, who came and sat down beside her.
"How've you been settling in?" He asked, starting to dig into his food.
"Pretty well, I guess. Hidan and Kisame took us to get clothes and stuff, so I'm thankful we have stuff that actually fits well now." She chirped out, instantly comforted by the man's presence.
"They did?" Deidara perked up at that and chuckled, "That's very not like Hidan."
Olivia just nodded, not wanting to look at the white haired man, who was now glaring at Deidara.
"Yeah, Konan said they volunteered to do it, but I kinda doubt that…" Her eyes flickered to Hidan for a second, seeing his not-so-happy expression, and looking back to the kinder looking Deidara.
"Well, don't fucking talk about me like I'm not fucking here!" Hidan slammed his hands on the table, getting up from his seat with his plate and mumbling some other curses under his breath.
Deidara just ignored the man's tantrum, but Olivia flinched, unconsciously moving herself closer to Deidara in some attempt to be sheltered from the man.
This didn't go unnoticed by either of the men. Hidan felt a sort of pang in his chest, but brushed it off quickly as indigestion, not wanting to admit his jealousy of her trusting the other man so readily.
Deidara smiled at the girl, he had to admit, she was kind of cute, and being this close to her was giving him some butterflies in his stomach.
He leaned in a little, without her noticing, but enough to draw Hidan's attention, who was now furiously washing his plate.
"So, what all did you get?" Deidara hummed out, his soothing voice causing Olivia to relax some.
"Just some essentials," She smiled at the man, "Oh! We got yukatas! They're so beautiful." She grinned.
Deidara smiled and nodded, "Those must be for the upcoming festival," He hesitated for a moment, "...I bet you'll look beautiful in it." He gave her a small bashful smile.
Olivia's face lit up brightly, "ahhh, t-thank you so much." Olivia stuttered out, a hand going up to cover one of her bright red cheeks.
Hidan dropped the plate into the sink, "Damn, if you fuckers are going to flirt so damn much then get a fucking room." He quickly stormed out of the room, chocking his frustration up to just not liking the PDA.
Olivia jumped and let out a squeak at the loud noise of the plate, and Hidan's booming voice.
Deidara just rolled his eyes, "Don't mind him, he's always a piss baby."
Olivia, for some reason, felt a little bad for making Hidan storm off, but she shrugged it off. He was rude, and she didn't really want to be in his presence anyways.
"So," she started up the conversation again, "When is this festival?"
"Ugh, it's crooked." Olivia sighed as she tried to put on her own Yukata.
Kamryn just laughed at her impatient friend, "Konan said to wait for her, you should listen."
As if on que, a knock could be heard from the door of their shared room. "Girls, are you decent?"
"Yup!" Kam yelled back, wrapping her Yukata around her, and the door cracked open immediately.
Konan entered in a beautiful white and gold yukata, it flowing around her as she stepped into the room.
Her Yukata was obviously much more expensive than the ones the girls had, and they stared in awe as the light reflected off of the golden flowers on the fabric.
"Wow," Olivia's eyes sparkled.
"You look stunning!" Kamryn grinned at the woman they had come to call their friend.
Konan blushed ever so slightly at the compliment, before clearing her throat. "Well, lets get to work, the guys are already waiting on us." She shot Olivia a pitying look as she noticed how crookedly she had put her yukata on.
"I'll start with you, Kam…" She walked over to start positioning things correctly and tying on her obi. "Liv, you should just undo yours…"
Kamryn gave a snicker and Olivia pouted at Konan's words, but she reluctantly undid all of her hard work.
"There." Konan made quick work of the yukata, and moved to a still pouting Olivia.
"You did your best," Konan shrugged to Olivia, giving her a reassuring smile, but Olivia's shoulders stayed slumped as Konan worked around her.
"Done!" Konan clasped her hands together. It was strange, she almost felt like a motherly figure to these girls, it was nice, to say the least.
"You two look gorgeous," She smiled, hands on her hips, looking over her handy work.
"Thanks!" Kamryn piped cheerfully, while Olivia just blushed.
"Oh, I have another present." She pulled out two silken coin purses that matched the girls yukata's. "There's some money in here to get whatever you want."
"Ooooh, Thank you!" Olivia smiled and took the cute little purses, handing one to Kamryn.
"Thanks so much for all of this Konan." Kamryn gave a soft smile, "You've really done so much to make us feel at home."
Konan shrugged it off, the real reason they were keeping the girls happy was not as sweet as they thought. The Akatsuki needed them to get to the Kyubi, so they need them to favor them and keep them happy.
Konan pushed that out of her head for now, she had become close to the girls, and didn't want to see anything bad happen to them. She instead focusses on having fun for the night.
"Well, let's go." Konan smiled, leading the girls out into the living area that they were all too familiar with.
It had been a few days since they arrived here, and they had become quite familiar with the building, and most of the people that lived in it.
In the living room, the guys all stood around chatting, Kisame, Deidara, Hidan, Pein, and Tobi, who was bouncing in place.
"Where are the other guys?" Kamryn spoke as she looked over the group of men, "Is everyone not coming?"
Kisame spoke up, "Nope, the other guys are busy or don't care enough to come."
"But Tobi is here!" Tobi yelled, running over to Kamryn and linking arms with her. "You look soooo pretty tonight Miss Kamryn!"
"Thank you Tobi," Kamryn smiled, but felt a bit awkward being so close to the man, she tried her best to shrug him off but had little luck.
The other guys all eyed the girls a little bit, there was no doubt that they all looked more beautiful than usual.
Deidara and Hidan's eyes were both locked onto Olivia, but she seemed to only respond to Deidara, as she gave him a shy little smile. Hidan rolled his eyes at this, cursing himself under his breath and asking himself why he even bothered to come.
Kisame's eyes were also locked on Kamyn, who was giving him a pleading look. She took looked absolutely gorgeous, and the shark man couldn't seem to take his eyes off of her.
"Well, we should get going," Pein spoke up, Konan moving to link arms with him, and they all started filing out of the door.
Finally, they arrived at the market place, which was lit up with colorful lights, and more market stalls than usual had popped up.
The girls both were in awe at how everything had changed so drastically. Konan and Pein split from the group immediately, leaving the girls alone with the guys, with instructions to stay with at least one of them at a time.
They stayed together for a while, having dango and looking at a few stalls. Until Kam's eys landed on a stall with some colorful jewelry.
"Oooo, I wanna go over there!" She smiled at liv, who just shrugged her shoulders.
"I'd rather not…" She shifted in place, Deidara had been standing almost uncomfortably close to her this entire time, and she couldn't help notice the way Hidan would glare at her ever so often. "I wanna go sit down somewhere, if that's okay."
"Tobi will go with you!" Tobi shouted in Kamryn's ear for the umpteenth time that night, pulling her quickly to the stand.
"I better go keep an eye on him." Kisame stomped off after the two.
"Well," Deidara smiled at Olivia, "Let's find you a place to sit down."
The three of them that were left found a small little ramen shop that was open for the night, a nice old man stood behind the counter, greeting them as they sat down.
He immediately brought some sake to the table, and three menus.
"Ah, well don't you all look like you're having a good time." The man laughed as he scanned over the three of them, his eyes landing on Liv. "And you look stunning tonight, ma'lady. Which one of these gentlemen have the pleasure of being your date?"
The group all exchanged looks, "Ahh, thank you!" Liv bowed her head to the man, "But neither of them are my date… Theyre just showing me around." She blushed a little, now feeling even more awkward around the two men.
"Bring some more sake, old man. I'm gonna need it." Hidan spoke up, already downing a glass, glaring daggers at Deidara, who had the pleasure of sitting beside Olivia. Olivia was surprised that Hidan got out a sentence without a curse in it.
"Well," She started, "Whats good here?" She looked over the menu, her eyes going from it, to the two guys at the table. "I don't think ive ever had anything like this."
"Oh you'll love it," Deidara gave a reassuring smile, placing a gentle hand on Livs back as he leaned over to look at her menu and point something out. Hidan rolled his eyes once more, downing another glass of sake. "The pork ramen is good, probably best for someone who hasn't had anything like this before."
Olivia just nodded, and the old man returned with another bottle of sake, and an appetizer.
"This is on the house, guys," he set the plate down, it was something fried, but Olivia couldn't quite tell what it was.
"Bring something stronger…" Hidan mumbled out to the old man, who let out a laugh.
They all ordered their food and the old man happily left them alone once more.
"Here ya go," Deidara poured Olivia a glass of sake, and the girl sipped at it. It was stronger than she thought it would be, but not horrible. She made the mistake of downing a glass pretty quickly while they waited for their food, following Hidan's lead.
"Uhh, liv, you might wanna slow down." Deidara warned, she had already had four glasses by the time their food came.
"Nooo~" She smiled at the man, already feeling lighter. She knew she should stop but she was already too in to it. She was always a light weight, but usually Kam was around to keep her in check.
She downed one more drink before happily trying a bite of her food, not noticing the steam coming off of it.
As soon as the food touched her mouth she jumped up with a yelp.
"OOooOOoowwwW….", She looked up at the two shocked men with teary eyes, covering her mouth.
"I burnnh mah mawf…."
The men looked at each other both moving to help the girl up.
"Fuck woman, you couldn't see the shit was hot?"
"Are you okay, Olivia? I'm sorry I should have warned you it was hot.."
Olivia blinked at the two before giggling at how different their responses were.
Looking at Hidan she promptly stuck her tongue out at him, "You are just a big butt".
Then ignoring his glare she turned to Deidara with a smile, "thanks for the help, and it's okay, I should have been paying attention".
Deidara smiled at her, to her his smile seemed so gentle making her relax and lean closer to him.
He didn't notice her moving closer and looked down at her mouth, "Are you sure you are okay? I know the ramen here gets served really fresh and hot.."
Hidan was practically fuming in his seat. Where was his thank you for helping her ass? Why the fuck was she so close to Blondie?
"It stings but it's not too bad…" She leaned a bit closer, her face a bit flushed, but mainly from drinking.
Deidara noticed this time, his face heating up quickly at her close proximity.
He wasn't complaining though, partially due to the fact that he too had a bit to drink and was also a light weight. Also because Liv looked so cute, her face pink and her eyes all big and sparkly under the stands lights and her lips were slightly swollen from when she burnt her mouth.
They were both leaning in, their eyes closing, when Liv was jerked out of her seat and dragged away by a livid silver haired man.
Deidara fell forward out of his chair when she got pulled away, landing on the ground with a groan.
After standing and dusting himself off he looked around with a disappointed frown, not seeing Olivia or Hidan anywhere.
