Chapter 29

For the remainder of Christmas day, Hidan and Hinata watched movies and uncharacteristically, at least in the former's case, talked about childhood memories. It was the first time the pair spoke about their pasts openly with one another.

For example, the Hyuuga girl learned more about Hihara, Hidan's deceased brother. Apparently, their mother died giving birth to the younger sibling, and their father turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, leading to the boys being taken away by the government for their safety. The fact that they were placed in predators' clutches was horribly ironic.

"Is he still alive, your father?"

Like last night, the couple was cuddling upon the pile of thick blankets and pillows on the floor of Hinata's bedroom with the television playing softly, though neither paid attention to it.

Side-by-side, Hidan allowed his girlfriend to hold his hand. She had it before her with both hands, seemingly attempting to memorize every centimeter as she turned it absently with slightly-dazed eyes.

"Fuck if I know. I know I'll kill him if I ever run into that asshole, so I've avoided my hometown."

His honest response made Hinata a little uncomfortable because she knew it was the truth. Her boyfriend was no stranger to crime. Unfortunately, murder was included.

'That's just the life he's lived until now. Someday, hopefully, no one will have to resort to that type of thing anymore.'

"...Aren't you curious, though?" She asked. If it were her, she'd be unable to rest easy without knowing for sure.

Hidan took his time responding. So long, in fact, that Hinata turned her head to look at him. Magenta eyes were glazed over on her hands holding his. The movement seemed to snap him out of it, and he shook his head before closing his eyes, "As far as I'm concerned, he's six feet under where he belongs."

Another long, silent moment passed before the soft-spoken girl changed the subject. "I-I have a question, but I don't know if I want to hear the answer." She pressed her boyfriend's palm to her lips in a shy kiss, and he turned onto his side so it'd be easier, offering a look that said he was waiting for her to elaborate.

Mirroring his act, Hinata turned to face him but lowered her gaze to his chest, "How many girlfriends have you had in the past?"

True to his personality, Hidan scoffed, which caused the girl to meet his eye. He smirked, but it didn't have its usual confidence, "Just because I fucked other bitches doesn't mean I dated them."

'That doesn't make me feel any better about it,' Hinata thought, ashamed that her jealous nature was on display.

"Don't tell me you're gonna get all damn insecure again."

The Hyuuga girl frowned, irritated that he could read her so well, "N-No, I'm not! I was just curious."

Even though she said that, it was apparent Hidan didn't believe her. His eyes fell into their notorious glare, "Fuck, you're annoying."

Hinata was stuck somewhere between embarrassed because she could see how her constant need for reassurance would get on someone's nerves and irritated because she puts up with many of Hidan's antics without complaint. The least he could do was humor some of hers, too. Her uneasy thoughts were interrupted by the young man grabbing her waist and maneuvering her up to straddle his hips.

Before she could react, he rolled his eyes, "You wouldn't be yourself if you didn't piss me off, right?" He didn't grin or smirk, but an amused glint met his eyes.

Face reddening quickly, Hinata tried not to visually react as his hands began to wander to her chest and hips, "Would it kill you to say something nice in a non-backhanded way?"

Sitting up beneath her, Hidan pulled the shirt he'd given her to wear off over her head, the smirk returning to his face, "The princess wants compliments, hm?"

The girl's blush was at its full force as she glared, unintentionally leaning into his touch as he caressed her breasts. She should've known better than to say that. There was only one way he'd respond: teasing and torturing her. Now she struggled to meet his confident gaze, averting her eyes to the side.

Snickering at his girlfriend's weak attempt to hide her bashfulness, Hidan dipped slowly to kiss her bare shoulder. One of his hands left her breasts to slide around and hold the small of her back so she couldn't avoid his approach.

Every inch of Hinata's skin that came into contact with him felt a million times more sensitive than usual. A shiver ran down her spine when he danced the sensual, tempered kisses up her neck until reaching her ear, where he whispered, "I don't offer praise for free."

Though they'd only slept together twice, it was already set in stone that Hidan's happy to spoil her in this setting. Her pride took a blow, but Hinata gave up pretending not to be affected and allowed her body to curve into his more naturally.

"Tell you what; Take the lead, and I'll tell you everything you wanna hear."

The girl's eyes widened when he pulled back to meet them. As previously mentioned, this was only the third intimate encounter for the couple. Until this point, Hinata'd allowed Hidan to take control because he had more experience, and she was terrified of making a mistake. That said, the Hyuuga was stubborn when it counted, this being one of those times.

'If I don't do it, he'll never let me forget about it.'

"...You'll tell me if I mess something up, right?" Sure, Hinata was braver than she once was and fully intended to do her best, but at her heart and soul, she was an anxious being.

Grinning victoriously, Hidan laid back down against the pillows with his fingers interlocked behind his head, "Have you ever known me to quietly sit through something I don't like?"

The girl wouldn't have the guts to act if it was anyone but the irritating silver-haired man beneath her. It was, though, so she nervously moved to sit between his legs, pulling his sex from his shorts with a hot face.

"I-I wish you wouldn't stare…." Her brows knit together as she massaged him momentarily so he'd harden the rest of the way.

Hidan lifted a brow, grin still intact, "You like it, fuckin' liar."

Leaning lower, she weakly glared while sliding him into her mouth, unable to entirely deny his accusation. His unwavering gaze truly did make her anxious, but there was also an exciting element to it. If he wasn't watching her, the heat pooling between her legs would only be a fraction of its current temperature.

Though she started shyly, her hesitance faded as the seconds passed until the blush on her cheeks was only a soft pink instead of an overwhelming red.

'I can't believe this kind of thing doesn't make me faint,' Hinata mused as she took pride in the soft groan that pulled from Hidan's chest.

The first time, she managed it only because her anger level was at its peak because of everything that'd been going on. The second time, she was drunk out of her mind and cocky. Truthfully, this was the first occasion where she was relatively clear-minded.

Pearl-colored eyes absently drifted up Hidan's toned torso until locking onto his magenta ones. Gone was his smirk. In its place was a flexed jaw and an expression of complete focus and arousal.

Hinata quirked a brow as though asking why he wasn't holding up his end of their agreement. He returned the look with one that said she'd better stop attempting to boss him around.

In defiance, the girl slid him out of her mouth. She didn't completely stop favoring him, though. Continuing to massage him with one hand, she slowly ran kisses up the right side of his "v" muscle. 'He's close. I can tell.'

Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and the Hyuuga nearly smiled against his skin but managed to hold it back so he wouldn't expect it. Timing it just right, Hinata waited until the man was on the edge, one hand still behind his head while the other ran through her hair to keep it out of her face. Then, she bit him above the hip bone hard enough to leave a mark but not so much that it broke the skin.

"Shit…!"

An amused puff of air left the girl's nose as the organ in her hand flexed harder before a hot, filmy liquid dripped down her fingers.

When his climax ended, Hinata lifted slightly to meet his eye. The barely-there tinge of pink about the bridge of his nose from breathing more heavily was satisfying, but his expression wasn't. He knew she was impatiently waiting for him to say something but kept his lips sealed.

'Nothing? Really?'

The last bit of her bashfulness left the room as she became annoyed. Then the situation became a competition: her determination to make him break his composed facade and his refusal to give her what she wanted because it was fun watching her try so hard.

Hinata ran her tongue up his length before slipping him back into her mouth, the salty substance being cleaned off expertly. Almost instantly, his dick became hard again. Once it was, the girl stood, licking the remaining ejaculate from her fingers as she slid her underwear down her legs and returned to straddle his hips. Magenta eyes followed every movement as though the scene was the most interesting thing he'd watched in his life.

As the Hyuuga girl lifted higher on her knees and reached down to line their sexes up, a tiny bit of shyness returned, but she refused to give in. Sliding onto him, she straightened her spine and absently looked over his appearance while pushing her hair out of her face to pull it over one shoulder so it wouldn't get in the way again.

For a moment, Hinata froze and hesitated. This was her first time on top, so she wasn't sure how to proceed. Lifting her gaze to Hidan's for help, he simply smirked. Obviously, he wouldn't give advice unless she asked for it aloud, and her pride couldn't take any more hits today.

So, praying she wasn't about to make a fool of herself, the young woman tried moving her hips a few ways before beginning to figure it out and adapt.

Brow furrowed with focus and pearly eyes directed down, even though it wasn't possible to see where they were connecting while sitting up like that, Hinata eventually got the hang of things to the point that she was no longer concerned if she was doing it correctly. It was evident she was because Hidan's hips moved ever so slightly, seemingly without his intention, to meet her each time she came down onto his cock. He also let his arm come down from behind his head and seemed to be putting effort into not allowing himself to grab her.

'I thought this position wouldn't be that fun because I have to put in more effort, but I was wrong. This feels great, too!'

A minute or so into the act, the angle of her movements lined up so that Hinata discovered the perfect technique. A surprised gasp of pleasure left her lips, and she gently pressed against Hidan's stomach with her fingers to remain steady.

"Keep doing it like that, Hina."

A shiver ran up the girl in question's spine at the seductive and low tone of her boyfriend's voice. Her eyes shot up to lock onto his.

'I was so focused I nearly forgot why I'm doing this!'

Continuing as requested, the tiny waves of pleasure became more frequent until she willingly looked past the original goal and simply wanted to feel even better. A thin sheen of sweat formed upon their skin as the pace gradually increased from cautious to deliberate.

Fumbling slightly, Hinata came forward to hold herself up with a hand on the ground between his shoulder and head before grabbing his wrist and pulling it toward her body. Hidan got the hint and grabbed her hips with either hand, aiding in bringing her more roughly down onto his sex with magenta eyes alight with arousal.

Her hair fell over her shoulder like a curtain as she gently encircled his neck with her free hand and kissed him. Surprisingly, the man's lips moved against hers a moment later, "Don't fuckin' worry about any of those other bitches, Baby. None of them could do it like this."

A warm hum left Hinata's throat as she pulled slightly away with a smile tugging at her lips. It was only one compliment, but it was enough to make her soar with happiness. Knowing he liked it, her fingers tightened slightly more around Hidan's neck, and she straightened her spine to search his face while upping the effort of her technique.

The man grinned amusedly, "When did you get so brave?"

'He says that, but I'm still too scared to truly choke him.'

The tightness within the girl's lower abdomen became too overwhelming to ignore, and soon it was all she could focus on. With a tortured moan leaving her mouth, she released Hidan and straightened her spine, continuing to move with her head falling back in pleasure and eyes squeezed closed.

An arm snaked around her back as Hidan sat up beneath her, bending his knees slightly so she wouldn't move away, and his other hand almost roughly holding her waist. Lifting her head, Hinata got the urge to adjust her position so she'd have a better angle but hesitated because if she lost her balance or interrupted the spectacular rhythm they'd developed, it'd be mortifying.

Both breathing heavily, Hidan pressed a chaste kiss to her lips before pulling back. His eyes danced from hers down to where their bodies were connected, "Go ahead. I've got you."

If her body wasn't so close to the edge, she might've refused, but that wasn't the case. One of Hinata's hands ran into Hidan's hair at the back of his neck, and she lifted from resting on her knees so that her feet were flat on the ground and she'd have better control of the angle.

The silver-haired man corrected his positioning, too, coming to his knees so he could adequately center his weight. Strong, large hands supported Hinata's movements, one holding her bottom and the other flat against the curve of her back.

It was absolutely perfect in an instant, and the Hyuuga woman fell into oblivion moments later. The sensation was so debilitating that she almost didn't comprehend that her partner was also reaching his own climax.

Her nails unconsciously tugged at Hidan's hair, her other hand gripping his upper arm for dear life as she trembled and gasped through the stinging pleasure. Pearl-colored eyes were held by magenta ones. His nose brushed against hers, causing her brow to furrow further. Moments later, the couple came down from their highs to pant for breath.

"Damn it, Princess."

Though Hidan's breath was raspy and breathless, it didn't appear as though the young man was exhausted because he pressed Hinata to the ground and began moving inside her again, "Is there something you're not fuckin' perfect at?"

"A-Ah, wait! I'm still-!" The girl's voice cut off with a gasp as he mirrored her earlier act and wrapped his fingers around her neck.

For once, as she hazily watched Hidan, there wasn't an ounce of amusement or insincerity. Regardless of the reason, he was serious as could be. The once sensual and almost frantic aura of the room became something more profound as he slid his hand up from her throat to her jaw, where he ran a thumb over her cheekbone, "You really are too beautiful."

As though his words were a spell, Hinata suddenly matched his emotion, gripping his arm with one hand and his shoulder with the other as tears welled in her eyes. It was like she was seeing him for the first time all over again. The barely visible freckles that dusted his nose, the tiny flecks of pink in his magenta eyes, and the soft pink of his lips were so gorgeous they seemed inhuman.

She found her lips moving with airy words before she could stop herself, "I love you, Hidan."

'This cocky, prideful man has me wrapped around his little finger. I wonder if he knows it.'

He narrowed his eyes, kissing her again, more deeply this time, before speaking against her lips, "I love you."

That same night, in the early morning hours, Hinata was gently shaken awake by Hidan, who was fully dressed. Sleepily, she groaned but gently grabbed his hand anyway. "C'mon, get in bed. I gotta go, Baby."

The Hyuuga girl grumbled, still mostly asleep, as she was picked up and carried over to be placed onto the lush sheets of her mattress. When the familiar warmth didn't appear at her side, she opened her eyes, realized Hidan was already in his shoes and coat, and frowned.

He tilted his head with a smirk, "I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Don't throw a fuckin' fit."

Too tired to second guess her thoughts, Hinata pouted, "That's so far away."

The silver-haired young man snickered, kneeling to kiss her momentarily before pulling back and whispering, "Go back to sleep."

The girl nodded defeatedly and reclosed her eyes, mumbling, "Please be safe on your way home." No response came before she fell asleep again.

In the morning of December twenty-sixth, Hinata woke up and immediately felt lonely when she remembered her boyfriend's departure. Running a hand through her hair, she sat up and looked around. Hidan must've folded up all the blankets they'd used just in case Hiashi returned before she woke, so he wouldn't suspect she'd had a visitor.

The girl's fingers fell to her ear, where she gently traced the shape of her new earring. A tiny smile met her lips as she fell heavily back into the pillows, 'I can't wait to see him tomorrow.'
