“Kakuzu!!”
“I’m really hungry can we stop somewhere to eat?!”
“It’s so cold Kakuzu, why can’t we stop at an inn?”
“‘Kuzu my ass checks are going to fall off!”
“Kakuz-” Hidan started.
“Fine,” Kakuzu snapped, he just wanted some quiet. “If you don’t complain tomorrow, I’ll rent us a room tonight.”
Hidan pouted, “Fine old man, you win.”
Luckily, there was a village nearby so Kakuzu didn’t have to deal with Hidan’s complaints for much longer.T he snow that had barely been falling an hour ago, was now coming down fast, so Kakuzu and Hidan hurried to the only inn in town.
Kakuzu wanted to leave the second he saw the prices for this inn, it was so unnecessarily expensive, two hundred and twenty ryō per single bedded rooms. He would rather be nice to Hidan than spend nearly three hundred and thirty ryō just so they could have separate beds. Kakuzu handed over the money for the room with a heavy feeling in his main heart, the things he did to shut that dumbass up.
“Hidan,” Kakuzu called, Hidan walked over from the plant he was staring at.
“Kakuzu, why is there one bed?!” Hidan demanded, glaring daggers at the old man.
“The hotel is overpriced, and we would be spending too much money for separate beds,” the cheapskate explained.
Hidan’s eye twitched. “Do you really expect me to share a bed with you?!” Hidan next to screeched.
“You’re the reason we’re in this situation, brat, if you hadn’t insisted on renting a room, we wouldn’t need to have this discussion,” growled Kakuzu. Hidan glowered at Kakuzu, before turning and stomping off into the bathroom to bathe.
When Hidan finished his bath, he found Kakuzu counting money on the edge of the bed, when Hidan walked over, the man tossed a ration pack at him.
“Don’t complain,” Kakuzu said before Hidan could even open his mouth. “I already got you a warm room, don’t expect me to pay for this inn’s overpriced food.”
Hidan mumbled swears at Kakuzu as he shoved the bland dried fish into his mouth. Once finished chewing, he climbed into bed and made a wall out of the extra pillows so they didn’t touch each other during the night or anything.
Disgusting.
No way was he going to fall asleep with Kakuzu this close to him.
Kakuzu carefully put the money from his latest bounty back into the briefcase before lying down to sleep. Luckily Hidan was already passed out, so he didn’t have to deal with his whining. He had to admit that Hidan’s pillow wall idea was pretty smart, now he didn’t have to worry about accidentally touching the brat. Even though Kakuzu felt somewhat uncomfortable, he fell asleep pretty quickly.
The feeling of warmth surrounded Hidan as he woke up, it was really nice, almost like he was being protected by the warmth. With a content sigh, Hidan nuzzled into the warm, trying to soak up as much of it as possible. The warmth moved, and Hidan opened his eyes to glare at it. Only to find that the amazing warmth he had been experiencing was really Kakuzu’s burly frame.
Hidan’s eyes widened, and he quickly slipped out of his gras. Ew, disgusting, absolutely foul, Hidan thought as he rearranged himself into a comfortable position on the near edge of the bed. Hopefully, Kakuzu wouldn’t find out or remember any of this, not only would it be really awkward, but Hidan would also have to deal with how embarrassing it was.
Hidan lay still until he saw Kakuzu getting up at the ungodly hour in the morning he always woke up at, only when Kakuzu was out of bed did Hidan fall back asleep.
The amount of relief Kakuzu felt when Hidan got off him was immeasurable, now he could finally get up. After waiting for Hidan to scoot to the other side of the bed and a few more minutes to make sure he was sleeping, Kakuzu finally got up.
The only reason Kakuzu hadn’t immediately pushed Hidan off, was the peaceful, and dare he say cute, look on Hidan’s face, something he hadn’t seen on him even when he did is rituals.
It was interesting to look at, to say the least.
When Hidan finally got out of bed hours later, Kakuzu didn’t mention anything, otherwise, he’d have to explain why he didn’t just push Hidan off him. Luckily for him, it appeared Hidan had forgotten it or felt just as embarrassed about it as Kakuzu did.
As the two trudged through the snow Kakuzu kept sneaking glances at Hidan, the brat looked so different compared to how he had looked mere hours ago. The glare on his face made him look nothing like the sleeping Hidan, it was strange.
“What are you looking at, fucker?!” Hidan exclaimed.
Kakuzu didn’t reply, he just kept walking forward, ignoring Hidan’s questioning with a smug smirk on his masked face.
