"how long do we have to do this?" kiba grunted. we were sitting in tsunade's class. "i dont know, kiba. i mean....i haven't seen him in two weeks. like he literally hasn't came to any classes, stopped by the frat house, we haven't even seen him in any of the stores or restaurants. whats the point of doing this anymore?" i was at wits end. hinata still hasn't told us why we arent talking to john anymore. she just called us together one day out the blue and said some....choice things about him. yeah, we still dont like the boyfriend but john is a bestie, man. what on earth did he say to the girls that day? "its pissing me off that we arent even allowed to look at him either! what the hell!" i could tell it was bothering him alot more than everyone else. i mean....well yeah im still upset about our breakup a month ago but he doesnt need to keep reminding me about it. it was that fateful day....
-Flashback-
one month ago
"shika....we need to talk," kiba muttered. we were laying down in my room watching tv like pretty much any other day of my time with kiba. "ok," i said, suspicious as to what was going on. kiba had been rather distant for honestly the whole part of our relationship but has been even more so as of late. its been getting to me too. i feel as if i have to ask my boyfriend if i can touch him. "what do you want to talk about?" i asked. "i wanna talk about....us," he muttered. he hadn't turned over to look at me. just stayed on his side facing away from me. he turned down the TV's volume. im....im worried. im pretty confident what he is gonna say so im trying my best to harden my heart. "i.....i dont think we were meant to be more than friends, shika. honestly, nothing about you makes my blood boil. sex is pretty much out of the question. only real reason im still in your room is....well john is right: i need to get a tv in my room. you just dont do it for me. soo....well i wanna go back to what we were before," he said. well....its not so much as a break up but more like.....being degraded. "let me guess.....you still have feelings for john," i grunted, more affected by this than i though. "that's part of it but....well i know you see it too. we just dont....work together. its not fair to keep talking about us being in a relationship when its not working for either of us," he muttered.
"its not working for me because you refuse to give us a chance. you still want john and are bitter cause he has a boyfriend. you fucked up your chance with him. he was willing to be with you but you was trying to marry him after dating for like six hours. its your fault you fucked it up. if you would have toned it back, you and him would be dating and you would have been more likely to move in with him as opposed to him moving in with you. you are talking as if im the one who isn't up to par. as if i am the reason that john wont even look at you anymore. you are not giving us a chance cause you are still bitter about how things are between you and john and you wish for a chance to make things right and maybe even give you guys another shot but you cant cause of john's new boyfriend that no one likes. dont make it seem like you are the one who is being fair here or are the only one who is being mistreated," shit. i dont think ive ever been this upset with him before. never in my life have i ever felt so.....betrayed. it was really at this moment that i realized: i was being used this whole time. "shika....i--" "get out of my room, kiba," "but--" "get the hell outta my room! i cant stand being used by you anymore," i grunted. he just got up and made his way out of my room.
-end flashback-
i honestly cant say i can look at kiba in the same way anymore. just knowing that....well he is ok with how things ended for us. he didnt care in the least. instead, focusing all his energy or stalking john even though he is completely unavailable. "who cares what hinata says. we will go see about him at his apartment after class today," i said. he nodded.
it took us a minute to walk over here but we made it. we were actually surprised to see naruto there too. he chuckled non humorously. "looks like i wasn't the only one with the idea," he muttered. the three of us stood at his door. kiba knocked a few times. we waited. i took the liberty of sending him some texts while naruto called him but.....nothing. "shit....he must've changed his number?" naruto thought aloud. kiba kept banging on the door. i peaked in the window. there were still curtains but i could see through the cracks. "shit....its....its empty," i said. kiba's head snapped at me. he moved quickly to stand at my side and look through the window. i sighed. naruto looked in the window on the other side of the door. "well ill be damned. looks like he moved somewhere," he muttered. naruto's phone buzzed. he looked at it. "we gotta head back to the frat house. looks like hinata is finally ready to spill the beans. come on. ill drive us," he started back down the stairs. i had to pry kiba away from the window so we could head back with naruto.
we were all sitting in the living room. me and kiba on one sofa, hinata and naruto on the other. we were the only ones in the house right now. hinata wore a solemn expression as if something were weighing on her. "well?" grunted kiba. "i know it seems like we are being cruel to john but....well from talking to hidan that day when him and john came over, id say we were being nice about it...." hinata murmured. "what's going on? me and kiba were upstairs while you guys were talking with him," i said. "as soon as john walked out to his car, hidan had completely changed. as soon as the door shut, he told us everything. said that john was talking about all of us behind our backs. kiba is a stalker slut, shika is a whore who will do anything to suck a dick. kiba and shika cant get a man worth a damn. he was never satisfied with them. then he started talking about how john feels about me and the girls, calling us everything but our names. he....he said soooooo many things about how john feels about us while we arent there and naruto will tell you. i fucking broke down. i know that girls are knowing for talking about people behind their backs but....we dont talk like that. he even knew some of our deepest secrets somehow and he was telling everyone. i swear ive never been so angry with someone in my whole life!" i could see hinata start to cry. i heard whimpering. i saw kiba's face was bright red and the tears were flowing. me? honestly i find it hard to believe. im not just gonna assume he said those things without talking to him about it. he deserves the benefit of the doubt. at least in my opinion. kiba on the other hand...."WHERE THE FUCK IS HE!!" he screamed, standing up suddenly. "we went to his house, kiba. you know that he moved," i could see naruto was holding it all in too. guess its good that john moved somewhere. id hate for them to all see him now. he might just die.
meanwhile....

its different. cant say im used to being waited on hand and foot by servants all the time. ive made sure i keep talking to them. they are actually still happy which was a surprise. hidan still barks and yells but they know how he feels about me. he demands nothing but the best for me. 'the light in his eyes makes me feel warm inside' they always said. 'i wish someone cared that much about me' kakuzu had told me. Akatsuki u is significantly more challenging than konoha u is but.....well again, hidan takes damn good care of me. no, he dont pay off the teachers or mess around with the system. he gets me the best tutors in the world. im just glad that warm feeling when im with him hasn't faded in the least or else i would feel bad about feeling so.....good in this situation. damn near moves me to tears. i actually have straight A's in a private school. naturally i feel like king of the world. i swear life is really easy with him.
he had sent me to an Armani suit tailoring shop to be fitted for a suit. he planned a really fancy dinner today and this time....im actually excited about it. he said the place we are going too will bring back some memories of how we really came together. the tailor finished the suit. i looked in the mirror, taking in the fine details. i look damn good in a suit. it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. just a plain black and white suit with a black tie and a black hat. i was against the hat in the first place but seeing it now....it really completes the look. "the limo is here for you, mr (l/n)," said the tailor. i nodded and headed out.
the limo was fancy. no matter how many times i tell him i dont want fancy, he completely ignores me. 'my king deserves to be treated like so' and that would be the end of the conversation. he has literally shoved his money down my throat, forcing me to accept it. he has told me on many occasions that i should expect to be taken care of for the rest of my life. i chuckled as the limo pulled into the parking lot of habaneros. damn. how long has it been since ive been here? he was standing with his hands in the pockets of a bright white suit with a black shirt and no tie. he was playing with a can using his feet when he saw the limo pull up. he grinned as i got out, sporting a suit that i would never in my life be able to afford on my own. i closed the door and stood before him. "how do i look?" i grinned. he walked up to me, caressing my face. "you look sexy as fuck," he muttered, kissing me. he pulled away, taking my hand and pulling me inside.
we walked towards the hostess desk, spotting that familiar head of red hair. she smiled as we walked towards her. "table for two?" she asked. "we have a reservation," he said. she flipped through her book before motioning to us to follow her. we followed her to a nice table, not unlike the table from memory, and we took a seat. "as promised, your meal here will be free today so what would you like to drink?" she asked. hidan looked at me. i just shrugged. "bottle of your best wine," he said, not breaking eye contact with her. she nodded and walked away. "so what's this surprise, babe?" i asked, raising a brow. "after dinner," he said, his grin growing wider.
later on that night....
"you've been smiling like that all night and i am concerned. is it something that i wont like?" i asked. kushina put the final course in front of us: dessert. some delicious looking white chocolate macadamia blondie cheesecake. "we finished dinner. now tell me what the surprise is," i said, placing my fork right next to the cake. he put his fork down and looked at me. "well....i just wanted to tell you that....my dad is gonna give me the company early," he shrugged. "that's good! you get to make so much more money now," i wont deny that i was a little disappointed. more money that he already has wont really make a difference to me. "you dont seem as happy about it," he said, raising a brow. "hidan, i told ya many times that the money you make dont mean anything to me. i would still love you even if you lost all of it and became homeless tomorrow. love doesnt come and go like money does, babe," i said. a light blush came over his face. he chuckled nervously. "i love it when you say shit like that," he muttered. he just stared at me while i ate the cheese cake, never even touching his.
i put the last bit of the cake in my mouth and licked the fork before putting it away. "arent you gonna eat your cake? you know how she is about not cleaning your plate," i said, sipping my wine. his blush darkened. "are you ok? you barely talked tonight," i said. "its....its nothing. its just.....shit," he dug into his pocket and pulled out the little black box that has become the pivotal point of any relationship as well as the end game in all essence. he opened it, revealing the platinum band that would memorialize this moment. "john, i....i really wanna be mr hidan (l/n)," his voice cracked, the tears flowing down his face. he kept making futile attempts to wipe them away. i chuckled, my face feeling hot. i put the ring on. "i would be honored to call you my husband, hidan," at that he just bawled his eyes out. i sorta imagined that i would be the one who should have broken down but id say he is doing so right now for the both of us. he got up, leaving the cake where it lay, and walked over to me, pulling me up and into a kiss. he wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled, making the kiss deeper. i gripped his waist and pulled him closer. a few minutes of making out before he pulled away for air. "when is the wedding? i already know you are already preparing," i whispered against his lips. "four months from now," he grinned. i pecked his lips. "eat your cake," i pointed to the forgotten cheesecake. "fuck that cheesecake. i wanna eat something else right now," he growled lustfully. i couldn't help but chuckle. "that was some good cheesecake. we are taking it home with us," i smiled, pressing my lips against his.
two weeks before the wedding...
shikamaru pov
my eyes widened. everyone's eyes widened. i had brought the little note into the frat house so that everyone could see it. "tsk....dont tell kiba," said naruto. hinata chuckled. "i think we SHOULD tell kiba. i wanna see him bleed," she said. we were looking at an invitation to their wedding. "open it up. i bet there is a note for us," said naruto. i opened it up, revealing a nice picture of the two with a note for all of us.
dearest frat guys and girls,
i honestly dont know what happened between us that has you guys soooooo mad at me but....well i honestly dont care any more. im willing to be friends again if you guys are. i really wish you guys would have talked to me before you decided to give me the cold shoulder but whatever.
let the past be the past and join us in celebrating our big day!! its a fancy wedding cause hidan is loaded so come on and enjoy the free food, wine, and dancing! not to mention my husband in a suit. i mean have you seen this guy? two words: model status.
im actually not as shallow as i sound. i really do love him and he wont stop telling me how much he loves me so we are gonna tie the knot.
ANYWAY, wedding colors are black, white, and silver so any combo of that is just fine. there is a guest list and you all may bring a plus one
sincerely,
Mr (F/n) 'John' (L/n) and the future Mr Hidan (L/n)
"are we really gonna go?" i asked, raising a brow. "fuck yeah we are going! KIBA!!" hinata called. some heavy footsteps before he showed up. "what?" he grunted. he was wearing nothing but some basketball shorts. i wont deny, it really turned me on but i cant. we arent dating and he wont let me. "we are going to a wedding in two weeks. do you have a suit?" she asked. "i can get one from my dad. who is in it?" he asked. "oh you will see," hinata grinned evilly. i really have a bad feeling about this.
meanwhile.....
kakashi pov
its not often i get called into the dean's office. i walked in and took a seat in front of dean senju. he looked soo happy for some reason. "how are ya doin, kakashi?" he asked, his smile bright and wide. "not really all that good but im making it," i was being honest. ever since that thing with john, its been hell. i haven't seen his face in months yet he still haunts my dreams. screaming at me for what could have been. what i myself ruined by being just a little too difficult to be with. if i would have lessened it up just a little, he would have made it to the end and i would be just fine. me and him.....shit. i wiped the tear away before he could see it. its....its just not fair. just knowing that there was someone out there who wasn't a complete creep, mega sexy, and light weight obsessed with me and I was the one who ruined it just fills me to the brim with regret. i need to stop thinking about this or else ill break down......again. "what are you so happy about?" i asked. he laughed. "happy? im fucking ecstatic!!! just went to the summit this morning and guess what? im the fucking chairman of the board now!! i cant believe it. i was one vote away from loosing to that fucking mummy but i made it! i have sooo many plans to make our schools better. you just dont know," he said. "yeah, well good luck with that. im gonna go back to class and try not to think about how awful my life is," i grunted, standing up.
it would be so much better if i knew that i had a chance. just one saving grace that would make him notice me again. a time where i could see him again. plead my case and maybe, just maybe, rekindle that passion he once had for me. i dont have a reason to not be with him anymore. tsk.....and the first thing we would do is FUCK. im so horny right now its unbelievable. i put a hand on his door knob..." shit, kakashi, wait!" called dean senju. i turned to look at him. he shuffled through some papers. "almost forgot the reason i called you into my office," he pulled out a little fancy envelope. he handed it to me. i took it. "this was sent to the university with your name on it so i figured id give it to ya," he said. i looked at the envelope. my name written in fancy letters. i pulled out the note. i opened it to reveal a picture of the guy i hadn't seen in a very long time. and some silver head but i dont give a fuck about him. there was a note next to it.
dearest ex-mega crush,
i know i have been giving you the cold shoulder, even though you deserve it, but no hard feelings. at least on my end. i want to invite you to my wedding. who knows? you might even meet someone who would love your ass just as much as i did. if you already have found someone, make sure they give that ass all the attention it deserves. you may bring a plus one. you might even go home with a plus one if you are lucky *winking face*
wedding colors are black, white, and silver. any combo of that is fine. free food, wine, and dancing. dont forget to mingle too!!
sincerely,
Mr (F/n) 'John' (L/n) and the future Mr Hidan (L/n)
i couldn't help but curl my lip into a grin. i dont think its a coincidence that i got an invitation. i think this might be fate.
oh im going home with a plus one alright.
