Subtle Poison

Chapter 7

"Fancy seeing you here."

Deidara's blood boils. He gritted his teeth and glared at the man. His hands grips at the pillow he's hugging. He forced himself and smiled. "Y-yeah." The only word he said. The grin on Obito's face was still there. He stiffens when Obito took the seat behind him.

"Hope you don't mind me sitting here." Obito said with his irritating grin plastered on his face.

"I don't mind, un. If you want, you can hog the whole couch, yeah." Deidara replied, hiding the anger that was building up behind. The whole room didn't seem to notice the tension between him and Obito, and that was a good thing, he guess.

They started the meeting. The group was operating in pairs that's why he was assigned to Sasori as his partner. They talked about missions they have to do. They also talked about how can they raise their profit. Huh, never knew they even think of money as a problem. But considering the member who owns a bank - Kakuzu - they have to think and plan on how to earn and waste money.

The meeting goes smooth with occasional bickering from Hidan and Kakuzu, which the members didn't bother to point out, and some insults to him saying he looks so girly. He didn't bother starting an argument over that not because that was true - he's very manly thank you very much - but because he didn't want another source of headache.

Minutes later before lunch hour ends, they ended the meeting. Not being able to attend the morning classes, he ought to attend the rest since one of his favorite subject was up. The Akatsuki's meeting room was in some kind of abandoned building in the university.

He was walking his way out of the room when a person grabs his wrist and slams him to the wall. It was Obito. He puts his hands on both his sides cornering him. None of the other members seems to care. Deidara growled and about to spout an insult when a soft lips meet his own. Obito kissed him! Deidara's eyes gone wide. His heart starts racing wildly like some sort of schoolgirl being kissed by his crush. He was about to push Obito but alas he caught his wrist again and pins it the side.

He started kissing Obito back. He embrace his arms on Obito's neck making them kiss deeper. He opens his mouth and let Obito's tongue travel his mouth. They clashes their tongue, sucking each other, making them drool. They parted to breath some air. Their lungs seems to be not suitable for their kind of kiss. They both panted. Deidara feels his face heated as he looks at Obito. He tried to glare at him but he can't. Why? Because what happened was definitely hot. He was still slamped on the wall, their body still close to each other, Obito's forehead was in his shoulder.

"Still rejecting me?" Obito suddenly said. And again, his face flushed red. He felt the grin on Obito's face.

"I don't know. Prove that you're not a bastard then I might consider, un." He replied. Obito stand straight, towering him. The man was tall, he won't deny that. Then again, Deidara was definitely small, blame his lack of milk when he was a kid for that.

"Didn't I prove myself enough?" Obito asked. He scowled at him at that.

"Your gifts and letters won't get you anywhere Uchiha. And definitely not a kiss, yeah - even if I did kissed you back -" he kind of whispered the last part.

Obito laughs. Deidara definitely didn't get affected. He definitely didn't think his laugh was kinda cute. He definitely didn't. He inhales sharply before glaring at the laughing man in front of him.

"Won't you let me go, un? I still have classes to attend, Uchiha." He asked. The said man raised his hands signing that he surrendered. He quickly grab his things and marched away from the room. He still heard the evil man's laugh.

----

The rest of Deidara's day goes on without much fuss. But there were occasional blushes everytime he remembered what happened at the Akatsuki's meeting room that afternoon. Obito is really driving him insane and he knows that was not a good thing. The last thing he wants was getting crazy for an Alpha, much more an Uchiha Alpha.

His brother texted him that he will be at his boyfriend's house again. On his way to the parking lot, Obito blocked his way. He looks up at the man and raised his eyebrow. "What do you need?" He demanded.

"I want to walk you home?" Obito replied. And there was the irritating grin on his face again.

"I have a car, un." He deadpanned.

"Then I'll drive you home."

"Just tell me what you want Uchiha." He growled. His head was still aching and he don't want any cause of additional headache.

"You." Obito replied. He looked at the man blankly. He snarled.

"Flirting won't get you anywhere now, yeah. Do that tomorrow and I might consider. As of now, let me go home, un." He said. Deidara was not pleading. He wasn't.

He continued his walk towards the parking lot. The Uchiha man following him. Then he remembered something.

"Dad and Mom will definitely want to see you." He said.

"Hmm?" Obito mused at him. His hands at the back of his head. He can say that Obito was definitely jolly. The grin was still plastered at his face.

"You look like an idiot, un." He blurted. "Stop grinning like that, yeah."

"Why? You realize I'm cute?" Obito asked him, amusement in his tone.

"There's nothing cute in you Uchiha."

"Just say that I'm cute and I might let you kiss me again." He snapped his head at that.

"Fuck off, un." He said before marching towards his car. He gave no time to glance at the Uchiha and drove his car. He huffed. As if he wants to kiss him. But his lips... Deidara shooked his head at that thought. So what if his lips were soft, and pink and delicious - wait - what? No. He certainly did not think that Obito's lips are delicious. He certainly did not think of kissing him again. He slams his hands on the steering wheel of the car. This was really driving him insane.

"I'm going crazy." Deidara murmured to himself. "I need to sculpt, un. Yes. A good art will make this dirty thoughts away, yeah." He continued while he was walking towards the door of their house. Certainly a good sculpt and a delicious snacks his mom made will straighten his brains out.

He needs to take Obito out of his mind. He really do.

Sneak peek?

"I heard you like superiority."

"Excuse me?"

"Do you want me call you Deidara senpai?"
