No Sleep Days (ch3)

Insert generic disclaimer here.

Summary: Everyone’s tired today, but not for the same reasons. Pein may have had to fight some burly idiot, but Deidara didn’t get any sleep, and it’s getting to him. Zetsu, on the other hand, is actually complacent. Gasp! Get a medic!

Zetsu-Yin, Zetsu-Yang.

The door was kicked in. It crashed to the floor, splintered in the middle, and was stomped on by eight feet successively before being pulled up and shoved haphazardly back into its frame, cutting off the very small amount of moonlight that had been permitted inside, leaving the spiders in darkness once again.

Pein sneezed, and Hidan jumped, looking around guiltily, hoping nobody noticed.

Deidara screeched, hopping around, batting at his neck. Once Pein noticed, he grabbed the short-nin’s head, stopping him still, arms flailing, not thinking to grab Pein’s arm in his confusion, and he started shaking in fear, whimpering slightly, until the Leader pulled down the neckband of his cloak and squashed the offending spider with his thumb, too tired to make a witty remark regarding the blonde’s gender and fear of spiders. Said blonde sighed in relief and Zetsu uncovered his ears gingerly.

Meanwhile, Hidan had been stalking around silently, looking through the house. He had found a big kitchen, a pantry, a hall with bedrooms, a gigantic living room, some showers, and a side room where the bodies of the mansion’s previous occupants. Apparently it had been a large household, but was slaughtered by the last group of intruders to come through. He’d disposed of them, left four or five for Zetsu, and gathered the various valuables and weapons as well as useful materials (and several heads of long hair, which he shoved into his bag to use later, marveling at the variety of colors, giggling quietly to himself in his glee) and went back to the other three, who were just starting to look for him.

“Oi, Leader-sama.”

He looked up. “Nani?”

“The houseowners were already dead. I got all their stuff off of them and disposed of the bodies. I left five for Zetsu-” (he nodded in thanks) “-and there’s lots of supplies here. I vote we stay here.”

Pein shrugged. “Eh, why not. However, do they have some sort of prison?”

Hidan’s grin widened. “No, but they have a monkey cage…”

Deidara blinked. “A monkey?!”

The white-haired man made a vague gesture to indicate his ambiguity on the subject.

“I’m hungry, let’s go.” They trooped into the main kitchen, dumping the snoring princess in the uninhabited cage (why did Hidan know it was a monkey?) and locking it on the way, and raided the well-stocked kitchen. Deidara opened the cabinets to find cereal (“Fruit Loops! My favorite!” cried Pein) and Hidan opened the refrierator, pulling out Mountain Dew and beer, along with some Starbucks Frappuccinos. The orange haired nin moaned into his coffee as audible scrunch-ing came from the adjoining room. Deidara did his best to ignore it, yawning, and licked his popsicle. While this was a rather strange thing to eat at approximately four in the morning, he almost never got them. He continued to suck on it, zoning out, not noticing Hidan watching him out of the corner of his eye, face bright red. He made a strangled noise and snapped Deidara out of his reverie, who finally saw the blushing and smiled.

“You too, huh?” Hidan whipped his face around to look at Deidara, who was watching him, blushing slightly himself. He looked down and to the side, shrugging.

“Yeah, well… You got a problem with it?” grumbled Hidan, a little nervous. The blonde, who was about the same height as himself (i.e. rather short) shook his head, closing his eyes. “It’s been a slow year.” He agreed, chuckling to himself. If only you knew, blondie.

Zetsu trudged in, wiping his mouth. “Ugh, that was nasty. Three days old.. Well, it’s not like we got here fast enough to eat them fresh. Good point. Anyway, I’m going to bed. Goodnight. Try to keep the noise down.” Hidan smirked and Deidara almost choked, while Pein nodded, not looking up from the newspaper he had salvaged from the kitchen counter. “Good night, Zetsu.”

Five minutes later, the plant-man was back, head and shell sticking up from the tiled floor. “Uh, bad news…”

Pein sighed. “What?”

“There are only two bedrooms. No way am I sharing.”

The Leader’s eyes twinkled mischeviously, and he leaned back in his chair, balancing it on two legs. “I’m Leader. Plus, I have a girlfriend-” all three other men twitched and blushed hotly in sync, making Pein smile wider, “-so you have to share.”

Deidara groaned, Hidan hmph-ed, and Zetsu looked up at the others, eyes half-closed. “Meh. So much for that idea. I told you he’d call the extra… Yeah, but at least it was worth a try. Now I’ll never get to sleep.”

Pein chuckled dryly. “Y’all have fun. I’m going to my room,” he gloated. Hidan shot him a glare, and stomped up the stairs, Deidara following close behind.

Once in the room, door closed, Hidan turned to face Deidara, who was in the middle of the room, watching him. He took a deep breath. “Look, blondie, I--”

Deidara cut him off by planting his lips on the others’, effectively silencing him, and grabbed his wrists, holding them above the religious-nin’s head. Hidan moaned softly into the kiss, and broke off, panting. “Shut up,” whispered the blonde, looking straight into the other man’s eyes.

The slightly taller man, surprised, just looked at him for a moment, before turning his head to the side to escape the intensity. “You--” he started, then broke off, unsure of what to say. Deidara buried his face in Hidan’s neck, letting go of his wrists. “Are you mad?” he whispered again, almost afraid of what he might say.

“Of course not…” the elder muttered into his hair, reaching around to his front, taking off the younger’s cloak, slipping it off his shoulders, pulling the smaller man into himself, gently, holding him. “Never.”
