A very lonely blond sat on a nearby bench and hunched his shoulders. He looked up, one eye straining with tears. The sky seemed to blend with his mood. The color was a bright red, and warm yellow splashed as sunset arrived. The thought only made Deidara sadder than ever.

Stupid Sasori…I thought he was serious in asking me out, un!

He looked down again, still contemplating about the redhead he was completely in love with. Surprisingly though, he found himself both missing and hating Sasori. He clutched his chest, feeling a very peculiar feeling at the pit of his stomach.

"Hey blondie…" It was a soft growl, but Deidara heard it right away. He looked up again, only to find Hidan standing rather casually in front of him. The blond raised an eyebrow as the Jashinist's smirk grew.

"What do you want, un?"

Hidan shook his head and sat down beside Deidara.

"Nothing…I just wanted to watch the sun set." The silver-haired man said in a husky tone. The other watched him with uncertainty. He wasn't really used to Hidan's strange behavior. It was unnerving yet calming at the same time.

"Oh...I wanted to watch it too…".Deidara answered after a while, forgetting about Sasori. Hidan looked down at him and noticed that there were tears strained on his cheeks. He leaned a little closer, which startled the blond.

"Relax, you wuss. It's not like I'm gonna fuck you or something…".The older man reached for his pocket. He got a handkerchief and gently brought it to Deidara's cheeks. He brushed the tears away, looking at him with a rather soft expression.

"T...Thanks.". Deidara blurted out as Hidan withdrew his hand from his cheeks. He looked at the blond, who was blushing at the sudden contact he had given.

"You're being stupid, you know…" Hidan spoke in a firm voice as he made eye-to-eye contact with Deidara."…Sasori's even more stupid."

Deidara felt affronted. Even though Sasori's turned me down, I still idolize him and love him all the same, un . He kept his mouth shut, though. There was no point arguing with someone like Hidan.

"Let me ask you something…" Hidan's silver hair nicely illuminated with the soon-to-be-dark sky, Deidara noticed. "…do you love Sasori?"

The blond looked up, taken aback. Even though it was obvious that he liked the redhead, no one really asked him what he felt. His brows knitted together when he noticed Hidan had a teasing look on his face."Of course I love him!"

Hidan made a sort of gesture to speak, but he clamped his mouth shut, which made Deidara curious. Seriously, what is up with Hidan? He tried to get a little closer, but the other would always scoot away. The blond got very irritated.

"What is wrong with you? You seem so…un-Hidan-like…"

The older man snorted at the comment.

"I just feel like playing Mr. Dickhead today, what's it to you?" Deidara could suddenly see a little bit of the old Hidan, foul-mouthed and irritable. But still, there was something…something unusual.

"Hidan, what is the point of having a conversation with me if you're not acting like yourself?"

"Hey, don't push yourself. I happened to pass by this route when I saw you. It's not like I intended to sit down here with you. I just saw you were kind of lonely and…"Hidan looked away after that, a small flush on his cheeks. He had almost said it…

The blond pouted at his friend's weirdness.

"Whatever, Hidan." He stood up and stretched his arms. He looked up at the night sky. There were so many stars shining. He turned to Hidan, who also stood up."Got any plans for tonight?"

The silver-haired man shook his head. Then, an idea popped into his head. He grinned at Deidara. "Say, since Sasori practically dumped you, I'd take the opportunity to ask you out. A little dinner. My treat. "

Deidara blushed a little. No one had really asked him out…

"I…I guess so…un…"

Hidan felt like jumping. "It's a date then!"
