Chapter Text
The bed springs squeaked with each of the woman's moans, loud enough to be heard from there. Obito covered his head with the pillow. It didn't help much but he tried to relax and go back to sleep.
Several minutes later, the bed squeaked faster and the moans got more high-pitched. Grunting, he sat up and took the phone on his nightstand. Three twenty-four.
He had to get up in four hours.
It was so rude to be making such a racket so late at night. He imagined himself getting revenge. It would be good if that bed saw some action again. Since the workload increased he had no time to meet people. The only person he talked to on a regular basis that wasn't his boss or a colleague was Zetsu. Kinda. That didn't take away the fact that he missed dating someone.
Everything went quiet again, but Obito still didn't trust his multiorgasmic neighbour. A tinge of jealousy made him pout as he imagined her, smiling and happy in the arms of her lover while he was there alone, covering his ears in vain. His mood had soured because once again, his next orgasm would end up in a strip of toilet paper, and not in someone's ass like it should be.
Twenty to four.
Obito took the cell phone and sent a message to Zetsu.
[03:39] Obito: "What was the name of that dating app you told me about?"
Then he put the phone away from the bed, to force himself to get up when it the alarm went off and went to sleep.
Shuffling around his apartment, Obito went through his dull daily routine on autopilot. He brewed a cup of tea, boiled some rice, cut some vegetables and prepared his lunchbox. He had a shower, shaved, disinfected a tiny cut with alcohol, brushed his teeth, ironed his shirt and got dressed. Then he almost fell asleep in the crowded subway. At least, he thought as he looked around the coach, most of the commuters looked as frazzled as him, even at nine o'clock.
Obito noticed he had messages from Zetsu when he saw the pop-up window on his phone just as he was about to have lunch. First he wondered what he wanted of him. Then, that it had been him who contacted Zetsu in the first place.
[10:32] Zetsu: "You worry me Tobi"
[10:32] Zetsu: "Asking me that kind of stuff so late at night"
[10:32] Zetsu: "Insomnia? :)"
Obito had long since resigned himself to his friend's habit of highlighting the most awkward side of an issue.
[11:43] Obito: "Something like that"
[11:43] Obito: "It's just that"
Obito deleted and rewrote the phrase several times, unsure about which words he should use.
[11:44] Obito: "You know how busy I am and it's not getting any better"
[11:44] Obito: "I need it"
He picked up a gob of rice with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, waiting for Zetsu to finish writing.
[11:45] Zetsu: "You want to treat yourself for your birthday, right?"
Sometimes Obito cursed his friend's incredible memory. More than a brain, Zetsu seemed to have a hard drive. He wasn't even thinking about his birthday yet. Perhaps because wasn't that fond of the day anymore. He would be thirty one soon. Just thinking about the number made him feel old.
[11:45] Zetsu: "There's nothing wrong with that"
[11:45] Zetsu: "The app is called Romeo & Romeo"
He left it on seen, while he went into the app store and looked for it The icon was discreet, a blue and yellow circle on a black background. Useful so no one would know what he was up to.
[11:47] Zetsu: "But don't leave me hanging while you make a profile!"
[11:47] Zetsu: "I didn't know you were so starved for a bit of meat"
Well, it was already downloading. Maybe Obito could finish working on his profile before his break was over. Yes, maybe he was starve after all.
[11:48] Obito: "I need to get revenge on the neighbour who ruins my night's sleep every time she fucks"
[11:49] Obito: "Not trying to stop her from fucking but she should be quiet if she gets horny late at night"
[11:49] Obito: "So inconsiderate"
[11:50] Obito: "This way I kill two birds with one stone"
Zetsu sent him a whole row of smirking moon emojis.
[11:50] Zetsu: "Good luck hunting Tobi"
Hiding the screen from his coworkers, Obito began to fill out the form. The first thing that came to mind for his username was Tobi. But the nickname given to him by Zetsu many years ago was taken. It soured his mood a bit to know there was someone out there with his favorite nickname. Tobi1 was what he wrote in the end, he didn't feel like thinking.
The message that came out afterward confused him.
"Attention! Be honest while filling all the fields! Giving the wrong impression about yourself can lead to temporary or permanent banning or restriction of your account!"
Well, as much as Obito was embarrassed to be signing up for a dating site in his thirties, he wasn't going to lie about it. So he went on to describe himself.
Short dark hair, black eyes, fair complexion. One meter eighty two, seventy kilos. Not too ugly, not too handsome. Nothing out of the ordinary. Top.
He sighed. Perhaps he shouldn't say that in his profile, but he felt the need to add it after reading the warning. Was that enough? He wasn't sure. He clicked the help button to see the example profile the page provided and saw that it included more or less the data he had put in.
Except for one thing.
The guy in the sample profile sai his dick was seventeen centimeters long and Obito's palms began to sweat, he had no idea how big he was. On second thought, he looked like one of those things you wonder about during your puberty and never forget. Only he didn't remember. Great.
He remembered that he had a tape measure in his office drawer. If he could measure it in the bathroom, he could finish the profile soon. Although for that he had to be erect. And to be erect he had to get horny. He never thought he would be one of those guys that is touch themselves at work but since the idea made him feel like a big pervert, Obito discarded it. He would already do it at home. Temporarily, he decided that he would put seventeen centimeters, and in brackets he clarified that it was an estimate, since he was still struck by the message about answering honestly.
Next question.
"What are you looking for?"
Obito didn't think too much about it. He wrote the word "sex" while in front of him, Hayate told Genma something apparently funny that his daughter had said last night.
He wouldn't mind having a sex buddy. Meeting someone new was already stressful enough. That way, both of them saved themselves from always having to look for someone new and after getting to know each other better they could stop using protection. If they still wanted to keep dating each other.
"Sex and whatever comes up."
After writing it, he deleted the last thing. It sounded like he was looking for a serious relationship or something. Not that he was against it, but he didn't even have time for himself, and it seemed inconsiderate to drag someone into a relationship and then not be able to give them all the attention they deserved. He reminded himself that he had to be be sincere.
"Sex. And maybe more sex later. Why not? I'm looking for the loudest moaner in this place. Reason, revenge on noisy neighbor. Got room at home. Bottom guy 25-35 y/o. No tops."
Obito didn't know what else to say. Rereading what he had posted, he thought it was rubbish. No one was going to reply, but he couldn't think of anything better either. Next question.
"Something else about yourself (here you can talk about your preferences and fetishes)"
He was blank for like half a minute. No. Nothing like that. He didn't want them to think he was even more perverted.
“I'm not into weird stuff, like golden shower and all that. I'm looking for something normal.”
He took a deep breath. Done. Not that they should know more about him than necessary. He hit the next button, but his relief was short-lived. Now the app was asking for a photo. Shit, he couldn't take pictures at that moment. Or maybe yes. If he uploaded his profile now, maybe someone would read it while he was working and he could answer them when he went home. He checked his wristwatch and saw that he still had time.
"Excuse me," he said, getting up.
Obito went to the men's room, making sure no one was coming before closing the door. He went to the mirror and looked at himself. He undid his tie and unbutonned his shirt, worried that someone would come in and see him like that.
"I can't believe I'm doing this…" he said to himself.
Before taking the photo, he unbuttoned his trousers and lowered the zipper a little, revealing a bit of underwear and the growth of his pubic hair. He opened the camera app and pointed at the mirror, being careful to strategically hide his face from the camera. As soon as he pressed the button, he ducked into a cubicle to straighten his clothes and uploaded the photo before he could back out.
At least he had already finished eating, because otherwise he was sure that his nerves would not let him. Now he just had to wait.
What a great body that Tobi1 had.
Deidara wasn't into golden showers either, but Tobi would have been allowed to do to him whatever he wanted if that was what he was into. He couldn't believe it, that photo was too appetizing and had left him drooling. He wanted to put his hand in those slightly open trousers and see for himself those seventeen centimeters (estimate) that he claimed to have.
Still he dared to say that he was nothing out of the ordinary. Deidara thought it might be false modesty, but it didn't seem to be the case. That guy thought he truly was just an average guy.
His laughter when he read about peeing on each other made several bus passengers turn to look. The guy was a diamond in the rough and Deidara needed to sneak into his sheets. He was going to show that neighbour of his what having fun meant.
Just one problem.
Deidara was six years old below the age rangeTobi1 had listed on his profile. Well, almost five practically, since his own birthday would be in May. He was sure that the guy, with that muscular body, would be drowning in private messages and it wasn't a year or two, but five, rounding down. He was going to delete his message without thinking twice about it.
Still, he was going to try. Maybe he could convince him that he was the one for this casual sex proposition. Deidara was starting to feel his crotch heating up.
He pressed the envelope icon on the screen and began to write.
Subject: I am the loudest moaner
Message: Stop searching and delete the rest of the messages, because I am the one who moans the loudest here and I am more than willing to prove it to your neighbour first-hand. It will be an unforgettable night, both for you and for her. PS: I'm not twenty-five yet but I assure you that no one else is going to moan like me. Think about it. PPS: It also depends on your skills, don't expect me to moan for nothing. PPPS: Your photo made me hard and I'm on the bus. Answer.
Deidara wasn't going to hold back when chances of being rejected were so high. If the guy dismissed his cool message because of his age, he could at least have a few wanks to that photo.
When his stop came, Deidara tied his jacket around his waist to hide his half erection and he left, not before impatiently checking to see if he had already gotten a reply.
Sixteen messages. Obito hadn't expected many and wondered if it wasn't a mistake or something.
The dinner he was preparing had yet to simmer a bit longer. While he waited, he opened the messages. The euphoria of intrigue hadn't left him alone since he got off work. Last time he checked he had twelve messages, and four more arrived on the way home and while he was prepping the ingredients.
He wondered which one he should read first. Some of the subjects appealed to him more than others. He to open the oldest one.
Subject: Hello
Message: I am very horny tonight. You can check it here.
Attached was a web address that led to a paid webcam for which you had to register.
Fine. Maybe he didn't have a line of guys waiting. Obito was already starting to see how things worked there. He deleted the message and went on to the next.
Subject: Do you feel like trying new things?
Message: I know you said you're a top but
Obito almost instinctively pressed the return arrow. It couldn't be that they had totally gone beyond what he had written in his profile. Frowning, he blocked the guy before deleting that message as well.
The third one was another webcam. He wondered if that was normal there and what were the mods doing. He also deleted the phrase "no tops" from his profile and rewrote it in all caps and bold, for good measure. The fourth message seemed serious. He left it aside to read it calmly afterwards. The fifth one seemed all right too. The sixth was another webcam ad. Deleted.
Katsuart. That was the nickname of the guy who had sent him the seventh message, the one who claimed that he was the one who moaned the loudest. He opened the message intrigued by the statement, only to find a shirtless, long-haired, blond boy posing in the mirror of what appeared to be his bedroom. In another picture he appeared leaning against a wall full of street art, wearing a fishnet shirt under a black tank top. Obito had to fan himself after seeing them all. That made him think that he too should have uploaded more photos. Either way, it didn't matter anymore, because that was the guy he wanted to meet.
He remembered at that moment, that he had gotten distracted with all those photos and he had not yet read his message. Obito's first reaction was to laugh at the first two sentences. Then he read the rest. Well, if he was a couple of years below his age range, he didn't mind. The last two sentences made him blush, he felt himself blush. He had to admit that he hadn't looked that bad in that picture, but he didn't know if he was hot enough to give such a beautiful boy an erection in public. Obito went back through the photos. Yes, he was beautiful. A lot. So much so that it was hard to believe.
He had to force himself to stop looking at them and finally read the boy's profile. He was a nineteen-year-old fine arts student.
He was nineteen.
Obito's mood suddenly withered. It wasn't a year or two, it was six. He was a guy eleven years younger than him. Just thinking about how much he wanted to be with him made him feel perverted. He would have to keep looking, Katsuart would have been perfect if he was a bit older. Disappointed, he closed the message and went back to checking the rest.
In the end, Obito managed to collect five messages that seemed serious. Not bad. Among them he would choose someone, he had all afternoon to think about it.
As he ate dinner he thought about the photos and profiles, realizing that none had impacted him as much as Katsuart's had. A pity that he was so young. Eleven years seemed like an abyss to him.
Sat down in front of the television again, mad at himself for feeling like a pervert, Obito looked at Katsuart's profile again. Well, maybe the guy was a little bit pervert too, because what he had said in his message still made him blush.
He read his profile more carefully, since last time he had closed it as soon as he saw his age. Katsuart was looking for "something sporadic and different from the usual". The boy also claimed to be “really picky”. Obito had to admit he was flattered. Surely someone like him had received hundreds of messages and yet he had liked his photo enough to contact him himself. At first he thought he was a foreign boy, since in Japan no one had blonde hair or blue eyes unless they used hair dye or put on contact lenses. At the same time, his Japanese was perfectly fluent. He expressed himself like a native. He noticed some of those characters he used belonged to the Kansai dialect.
Perhaps he had exaggerated about the age. It seemed to Obito that it was no big deal. His own head must have been trying to justify his irremediable desire to answer.
Two more Mondays. His birthday would be in two more Mondays and Obito was already imagining the whole evening in his head. With Katsuart.
He went back to the inbox and after a few indecisive seconds, he hit the reply button.
Subject: Re: I am the loudest moaner
Message: Not even a violin virtuoso would be able to get better melodies from his instrument than the moans that I intend to get from you. If you are still interested in collaborating in this nocturnal serenade, our spectator is still there, I don't know how much she will like it, but if you and I have a good time and she doesn't, then everything will turn out as it should.
He didn't reread it, because he had the impression that it was going to sound corny and he was going to delete it. He attached his phone number and hit the send button. To distract himself while he waited for the answer, he wrote to Zetsu.
[20:56] Obito: "Thanks for the page"
The television distracted him until he felt his phone vibrate again. It was not Katsuart. Too soon, perhaps.
[20:58] Zetsu: "Oh! Did it work? :)"
[20:58] Zetsu: "Should I get the champagne?"
Then he got a missed call from a number he didn't know. He smiled as he typed his answer.
[20:59] Obito: "I think so"
So poetic. Reading it made Deidara feel special and more eager to be played like a violin or whatever. It was a nice change, he no longer knew how many pictures of strangers' penises he had in his inbox. For some reason, users of the app had established the custom that it was an acceptable greeting.
This Tobi1 guy seemed to be old school, or maybe he had no dating app experience. He may have just gotten out of a long-term relationship, or he may have been one of those who prefer to meet people in person rather than online. Deidara had to admit that it was more authentic to go hunting at a pub counter, but the app was still a pretty useful shortcut where everyone's intentions were clear from the start.
After adding his number and making a missed call, he sent a request to the chat app. He nibbled on his thumb absently, looking once more at the photo of Tobi1 that he had already downloaded. The intrigue to know him better boiled in his body. It was time to start filling the empty chat window.
[21:01] Deidara: "Hello ❤️”
[21:01] Deidara: "I see I was able to convince you"
Something told him when he sent the message that he had a chance. He would have been disappointed not to receive an answer, and it would have been expected. But he wasn't going to let a guy like him slip just because some stupid requirement.
[21:02] Tobi1: "Hello"
[21:02] Tobi1: Don't worry, you're not the only one who ignored my requirements.
Deidara could relate to that. How many times had they tried to talk him into things he wasn't willing to do with guys he didn't trust that much?
[21:02] Tobi1: "Although you are the only one I took seriously"
The confession brought a smile to his face.
[21:03] Deidara: "How come?"
From the kitchen he hear the voices of Hidan and Sasori, who seemed to be arguing. Something about Hidan leaving a sauce stain on the counter and not cleaning it up. It also seemed to be his turn to take out the trash. Deidara put his feet on the sofa, glad it wasn't his turn despite the claims of the theology student he shared a flat with. Sasori himself did the rota for the whole household every week.
[21:03] Tobi1: "Well"
[21:03] Tobi1: "You weren't a top asking me if I wanted to try new things"
Deidara knew exactly what he meant. He wouldn't have that problem with him. He had already tried both roles out of curiosity and much preferred being penetrated. He was going to tell him that when he noticed that he was still writing.
[21:04] Tobi1: "Also"
Hidan walked past him carrying a black rubbish bag. "And what are you doing smiling at your phone like an idiot? Are you planning on eating some cock?" He asked.
“Yes, hm," he answered matter-of-factly, too focused on what Tobi1 was going to write next.
Deidara got up from the sofa, walked to his room and closed the door. He had left his desk lamp on. Luckily that Mr. Kakuzu guy, his landlord, wasn't there to notice it. He lay down on the bed to read the newest messages.
[21:04] Tobi1: “You are absolutely stunning”
[21:04] Tobi1: "It may sound strange to you but"
[21:04] Tobi1: "I can't take my eyes off your photos"
As he wrote his answer, Deidara couldn't contain his smile. The heat in his belly spread to his groin.
[21:06] Deidara: "That's what they're for ❤️"
[21:06] Deidara: "I can't stop watching yours either"
[21:07] Deidara: "Do you have more?"
He had the impression that he had done the profile in a rush, perhaps at work since the photo has been taken in a public restroom.
[21:08] Tobi1: "I'm lucky you can't see me right now"
[21:08] Tobi1: "I was going to upload more photos but I don't think I need to anymore"
[21:08] Tobi1: "Looks like this is going well"
[21:08] Tobi1: "Don't you think?"
Tobi1 was cute and Deidara could tell by how he expressed himself that he was someone who had a lifestyle completely different from his. He was right, but Deidara wanted more photos.
[21:08] Deidara: ":("
[21:08] Tobi1: "What's wrong?"
[21:09] Deidara: "I want more pics :("
[21:09] Deidara: "You saw a few of mine"
[21:09] Deidara: "It's not fair"
[21:09] Deidara: "You have to send me some just for me"
Although he saw him write, the answer was slow in coming. While he waited Deidara listened to a song that Kurotsuchi had just sent him.
[21:11] Tobi1: "Okay but not now"
[21:11] Tobi1: "I don't look good right now"
[21:12] Deidara: "Don't you have any on your phone already?"
[21:12] Tobi1: "I don't know"
[21:12] Tobi1: "I need to check"
When someone made him wait for something that interested him, Deidara became a bit impatient.
[21:12] Deidara: "Check it then"
In case he had sounded too demanding, he sent a heart to soften the tone.
[21:13] Deidara: "Can't wait to see more of you ❤️"
Obito looked at his phone, blushing hard. He didn't usually take pictures of himself, and the ones he had didn't seem good enough to him. He had one with Rin and Kakashi from the last time he met them, a few days before new year, but one of his eyes looked more open than the other and since Katsuart seemed to have such a high opinion about his looks for some reason, he didn't want to let him down. Another one taken on a work trip to Kyoto years ago also seemed like a good candidate. He was sitting next to a statue of a dog, or a lion, it was hard to tell. It wasn't recent but he looked good on that one.
[21:16] Obito: "Do you mind if I send it to you in a bit? I'm kind of busy right now"
He needed to kill time and change subject.
[21:16] Obito: "Meanwhile we can talk about something else"
[21:17] Obito: "You can tell me a bit more about yourself"
[21:17] Obito: "And I can tell you a bit about myself"
Obito had to get up early the next day, but he wanted to stay talking with Katsuart for a while longer. He went to the kitchen area and started washing up, checking the phone from time to time to see if he had any new messages. Katsuart had replied to him, but he held back the urge to look until everything was clean, dry, and put away in its proper cupboard.
[21:20] Katsuart: "Okay"
[21:20] Katsuart: "But I demand my photo before tomorrow"
[21:20] Katsuart: "As you know I study fine arts"
[21:21] Katsuart: "I'm from Suita in Osaka"
[21:21] Katsuart: "I moved to Tokyo last year when I entered college"
[21:21] Katsuart: "I live in a student flat with three other people"
[21:22] Katsuart: "Your turn"
For dessert, he took a chocolate cheesecake out of the fridge and cut off a slice. He went back into the living room, turned off the television and put on some music.
So, Suita. He hadn't been wrong about the Kansai dialect. He had never been to Osaka, but he had known people from the area. Obito took a couple of minutes to look in the internet for some information and images of the city.
[21:36] Obito: "You'll have it before I go to bed"
As nervous as he was just by thinking about it, it was only fair.
[21:36] Obito: "About me"
[21:36] Obito: "I studied economics in college"
[21:36] Obito: "Then I started working in a financial consultancy owned by a relative"
[21:37] Obito: "I've been there for almost six years"
[21:37] Obito: "Do you like Tokyo?"
[21:37] Obito: "Suita looks interesting"
Katsuart responded with a row of giggling faces.
[21:38] Katsuart: "I lived near the Expo 70 park"
[21:38] Katsuart: "It's a good place to go to get inspired and many people go to read or draw while sunbathing"
[21:39] Katsuart: "If you go sightseeing you can spend the whole day there"
Obito knew that park. If they were closer, they might have gone for a walk once in a while. The guy intrigued him, he didn't know what acquaintances would say about him if they knew he was going out with a college student, but he started picturing himself dating him, doing together more things than just fucking.
[21:39] Katsuart: "And I like Tokyo"
[21:39] Katsuart: "They always say that Tokyo people are colder and more unpleasant but there is not much difference"
[21:39] Katsuart: "There are people from everywhere in the world"
[21:40] Katsuart: "Also quite a few Americans and Europeans in my faculty"
[21:40] Obito: "So Osaka and Tokyo aren't as different as people say"
He looked at the park's official website and examining the exhibits and museums. He found it interesting enough to bookmark the place so he'd remember to plan a trip there one day.
[21:40] Katsuart: "Trains are quieter in Tokyo"
[21:40] Katsuart: "In Osaka we don't take those rules about no chatting so seriously"
[21:41] Katsuart: "But people don't go around screaming for no reason like they think here"
[21:41] Katsuart: "Hey"
[21:41] Katsuart: "This is your first time using Romeo & Romeo right?"
[21:41] Katsuart: "How's that?"
Obito felt somewhat inexperienced and embarrassed, but tried to satisfy his curiosity.
[21:42] Obito: "I haven't dated anyone in a long time"
[21:42] Obito: "I've been so busy working that I haven't had time to socialize"
[21:42] Obito: "Besides, I don't see myself capable of dedicating time to having a stable relationship"
[21:43] Obito: "This is the most practical thing to do for my current situation"
[21:43] Obito: "And family life is out of the question"
[21:43] Obito: "I don't want any more pressure on me"
Then Obito wrote that despite everything he sometimes missed feeling close to someone, but he deleted it as soon as he finished writing, too irrelevant. Instead he wrote something else.
[21:44] Obito: "What about you?"
Obito went back to look at the photos. A guy like him could go to a cool bar, sit at the bar with a drink and wait for guys to come to him and choose the one he likes the most.
[21:45] Katsuart: "I was looking for something different"
[21:45] Katsuart: "And I thought you'd be worth it"
[21:45] Katsuart: "I usually go to the same places"
[21:45] Katsuart: "So everything ends up being more of the same"
[21:46] Katsuart: "In the bathroom at the club or in someone's car or in my room after a few drinks"
[21:46] Katsuart: "It bores me"
After imagining himself in each and every one of those situations with Katsuart, Obito couldn't conceive how that could be boring for him. He would say yes to all those.
[21:46] Katsuart: "Also my roommates have some rules about bringing our dates to the apartment"
[21:47] Katsuart: "One of my roommates already said many times"
[21:47] Katsuart: "THIS IS NOT A LOVE HOTEL"
[21:47] Katsuart: "Coincidentally he's the only one who doesn't fuck"
Obito laughed at that last one.
[21:47] Obito: "Typical"
[21:48] Katsuart: "You can come over"
[21:48] Katsuart: "But we won't be able to be home alone"
It was just a hypothetical case, but Obito already felt judged by Deidara's roommates. He visualized himself walking past them on his way to Deidara's room, not knowing what to say or how to behave.
[21:48] Obito: "Noooo"
[21:48] Obito: "I live alone"
[21:49] Obito: "We have all the space and privacy we need"
[21:49] Obito: "And in your apartment my neighbor won't be able to hear us"
[21:49] Katsuart: "Well you can try ❤️"
[21:49] Katsuart: "Do you think it would work?"
Obito blushed again.
[21:50] Obito: "We better stay here"
When he checked the time, he panicked. He still had to have a shower and his bedtime was approaching.
[21:50] Obito: "We've been talking for almost an hour"
[21:50] Obito: "Can't believe it"
[21:50] Obito: "Now I have to get ready for bed"
[21:50] Obito: "I'll be back in a bit"
He left the cell phone on the sofa and went to take a quick shower and brush his teeth. As he returned, towel tied around his waist, he saw that he had two messages from Katsuart.
[21:51] Katsuart: "Hey don't run away!"
[21:51] Katsuart: "Where is my photo?"
Obito pressed the camera icon, took a picture of his body, still wet from the shower and sent it to him. He was still reluctant to send his a picture of his face, he had to get used to the idea first.
[22:12] Katsuart: "I need a wank"
[22:12] Obito: "?"
He never expected that reaction. If he started to imagine the guy from Osaka looking at pictures of him with his hand in his underwear, the one needing a wank was going to be him.
[22:12] Katsuart: "I didn't expect such a sexy pic"
He went into his room to change into clean underwear, ignoring the slight push of his growing erection against the towel. Obito preferred to wait for the day they met, and although he was tempted to tell him what was going on, the whole thing still made him feel like a pervert.
[22:14] Obito: "It's just me with a towel"
[22:15] Katsuart: “Well it sounds to me like you're trying to get more compliments”
Another row of smiley faces followed that message.
[22:15] Obito: "Well you liked it that's what matters"
[22:15] Obito: "It's been nice to meet you good night"
Again he debated whether he should masturbate or not. Sleeping in those conditions was going to be uncomfortable.
[22:16] Katsuart: "Good night"
[22:16] Katsuart: "Thanks for the photo"
[22:16] Katsuart: "I'll put it to good use"
[22:16] Katsuart: "Do you want me to let you know when I'm done? ❤️"
Obito got fully hard after reading that. They were going to meet in a few days anyway, maybe it was useless to be too shy.
[22:16] Obito: "Oj"
[22:16] Obito: "Ok*"
He could no longer turn back. Obito took the tissues and vaseline out of the drawer and pulled down his underwear. He wanted to do it while looking at Katsuart's pictures, but just by imagining him under his body, sweaty, moaning and clutching the sheets, a pleasurable orgasm ensued less than a minute after he started masturbating. He cleaned everything up, not wanting to think about it much. Looking at the phone one last time, he saw that Katsuart had sent him a rainbow icon. Obito smiled as he sent another one to him.
[07:08] Tobi1: "Ohayou san~"
It wasn't often that Deidara woke up with a laugh instead of a groan, but he didn't expect Tobi, as he had started calling him in his head, to say good morning in Kansai dialect. It was even crazier that he used a tilde at the end of the sentence. He would have never expected it from a guy that sounded so serious.
It could also be that he was self-conscious and was now starting to feel a little bit more comfortable. That was good.
Deidara had been testing the waters when he sent the rainbow at him, just to see how far he could go. Seeing another one back was more than he could have imagined, he never believed he would do it too. Tobi had been hornier than he was letting on, apparently. Good. Deidara had already planned to ask him for more photos. He thought it was a good warm-up before meeting in person.
[08:20] Deidara: "Good morning"
[08:20] Deidara: "Did you sleep well?"
[08:20] Deidara: "I think you did"
Sometimes, if he was too tired, Deidara would skip the first class. Tobi's morning text had cheered him up so he decided to go. In the afternoon he would go to Shibuya. He wanted to buy new clothes for when they met, also some beauty products he needed.
He wanted the guy to fall at his feet, that way they could meet more than once.
After having breakfast and getting ready, he went out into the street. Eight degrees according to the weather app on his phone. Deidara wrapped his scarf around his neck and put on his headphones before taking the mp3 player out of his pocket and pressing the power button. Tobi had sent him a message.
[09:03] Tobi1: "At least today the neighbor didn't wake me up"
[09:03] Tobi1: "But that doesn't mean she's forgiven"
[09:04] Tobi1: "I just got to work"
[09:04] Tobi1: "I'm going to be busy"
[09:04] Tobi1: "Sorry for the late reply"
Deidara couldn't reply until he got out of the subway, almost half an hour later. The car was too full of workers and students. Holding on to one of the loops above him and squeezed from all four sides, Deidara could barely move. The sweltering heat of the coach made him shiver when he went outside again.
[09:49] Deidara: "We don't forgive her"
[09:49] Deidara: "By the way"
[09:50] Deidara: "Last night we didn't talk about when we meet"
[09:50] Deidara: "We need to"
[09:50] Deidara: "I'm busy tonight though"
He still had to make himself presentable.
[09:50] Deidara: "But next weekend I have nothing to do"
He remembered making some plans for the weekend, but he could cancel if Tobi wanted to meet. Deidara walked to his classroom door and waited outside when he realized that Tobi was writing.
[09:58] Tobi1: "We'll talk about it later"
[09:58] Tobi1: "More calmly"
[09:58] Tobi1: "What do you think?"
Deidara greeted Sai when he passed by his side, then he turned off the mp3 player, took off his headphones and put them in one of the side pockets of his bag.
[09:58] Deidara: "Fine"
[09:59] Deidara: "We'll plan everything later"
[09:59] Deidara: "I'm going in now have a nice day"
He sent him a kiss before silencing the phone and putting it back in his pocket. Deidara smiled, imagining the surprised expression on that unknown face.
Second-hand clothing stores were a goldmine. Some of the things Deidara had chosen even looked brand new. He didn't think they had been worn more than once or twice.
It was after nine o'clock when Deidara walked through the apartment door, arms loaded with shopping bags. No one was home when he arrived and he thought that was for the best.
Deidara went to his room and started taking all the beauty products and clothes he bought out of the bags. He would decide what to wear later. He and Tobi had been chatting all afternoon about each other's college stories. According to Tobi, everything had changed too much in less than a decade. Deidara didn't know what to say, but he liked to read what he was telling him.
[21:55] Deidara: "I'm doing omurice"
Deidara was hungry, but too tired to make himself anything fancy, and too broke after his shopping to get takeaway.
[21:58] Tobi1: "Do you usually have dinner at this time?"
[21:58] Tobi1: "I've just arrived home too"
[21:58] Tobi1: "My colleagues wanted me to go out for a drink with them"
[21:59] Tobi1: "This time I couldn't refuse"
[21:59] Tobi1: "But since I had to drive I didn't drink much"
Deidara saw the message in the preview, but he was busy cooking and couldn't answer. When the meat started to brown, he took out the bag of frozen vegetables and dropped a handful into the pan. As soon as he added the rice, he lowered the heat and picked up the phone.
[22:06] Deidara: "I usually have dinner when I get hungry"
[22:06] Deidara: "But I usually get hungry earlier"
In another bowl, he finished beating the eggs with a pair of chopsticks and prepared another pan to start making the omelet.
[22:07] Tobi1: "Me too"
[22:07] Tobi1: "Although sometimes I have no choice but to have dinner at this time"
[22:07] Tobi1: "And even later if I have a lot to do at work"
Adding the rice to one side of the omelet, Deidara grabbed the other end with his chopsticks and folded it over, covering the rice. After letting it cook for a while, he turned off the heat, placed a plate upside down on the pan and turned it over. Then he drew a cat face with ketchup and giggled to himself.
[22:11] Deidara sent a file.
[22:11] Deidara: "Do you like my dinner?"
Exactly how much did Tobi have to work? He sounded like he spent more time at the office than at home. He would ask him later, he was too hungry at that moment.
[22:11] Tobi1: "Looks good"
[22:11] Tobi1: "Enjoy :)"
An emoji. It was the first time Tobi had sent him one. It made Deidara smile.
[22:12] Deidara: ":)"
[22:12] Deidara: "Thank you"
After the usual 'itadakimasu', Deidara dipped the spoon into the omelette and brought it to his mouth.
[22:21] Katsuart: "Hey"
[22:21] Katsuart: "How come you can't have dinner early?"
Obito thought that Katsu was going to ask him about dating, he didn't expect to see him interested in his personal circumstances. He couldn't tell if it was okay to bore someone who just met with his problems. Someone he contacted for a very specific reason.
He told himself, that it had been Katsu the one asking the question and being honest with himself, he needed to vent.
[22:22] Obito: "We're short on staff"
[22:22] Obito: "We were fine when I started"
[22:23] Obito: "But then they took too many customers"
[22:23] Obito: "And the volume of work was distributed among us"
[22:23] Obito: "This month is being quieter but I am not looking forward to March"
[22:24] Obito: "It's the busiest month since the fiscal year ends on the thirty-first"
[22:24] Obito: "They'll probably ask me to go six days a week and even seven until April comes"
[22:24] Obito: "It's going to suck"
[22:24] Obito: "On top of that I won't be able to take any holidays this year"
[22:25] Obito: "My boss has offered me the cash equivalent"
[22:25] Obito: "It's a lot of money"
[22:25] Obito: "But what is the point if I don't have time to spend it?"
At least now he felt a little bit better.
[22:27] Katsuart: "That's shit"
[22:28] Katsuart: "You live to do your boss work"
[22:28] Katsuart: "From what you say it doesn't seem like a seasonal thing"
[22:28] Katsuart: "I would have fucked off already"
The worst thing was not the pressure from above, but the competition between employees for being the most productive. Obito tried not to be part of it, but it was inevitable to fall into the game.
[22:29] Obito: "At first it was only going to be for a couple of months"
[22:29] Obito: "But then it became normal"
[22:30] Katsuart: "Haven't you thought about finding another job?"
Constantly. Obito thought that every time he was stressed out and he didn't see an end to that situation.
[22:30] Obito: "From time to time"
[22:30] Obito: "But it also has good things"
[22:30] Obito: "Maybe one day I will"
[22:31] Obito: "But at the moment I'm saving a lot and that's what matters"
[22:31] Obito: "I don't see myself retiring there"
[22:31] Obito: "Unless there are major changes"
[22:31] Obito: "Life is long, there's still time"
[22:32] Katsuart: "Now I understand why you said you didn't need more pressure on yourself"
[22:32] Katsuart: "It pisses me off to see the way they exploit you"
[22:32] Katsuart: "..."
[22:32] Katsuart: "Tell them to shove their overtime up their asses"
Obito smiled.
[22:33] Obito: "Sometimes I leave at five even though there are things left to do"
[22:33] Obito: "But it's not right for me to leave while my colleagues do everything"
[22:33] Obito: "Even though it's not my duty to stay"
It made him feel warm in the inside to see that Katsu cared.
[22:33]Katsuart: "Good"
[22:33] Katsuart: "Cheer up then"
[22:34] Katsuart: "That's why I refuse to enter the rat race"
[22:34] Obito: "You do the right thing"
[22:34] Obito: "I really admire you for that"
They started talking about how brave and risky it was to go against it and then they went on to talk about Deidara's roommates. He learned more about Sasori, Hidan and Konan. Obito told him about Kakashi, who found a job as a physical education teacher at a Sapporo high school -Who would have thought? That lazy fucker-, and about Rin, who moved to Europe after being hired at the Japanese embassy in Paris. Obito forgot again that this was the guy he had met on a dating app and that they had been talking for just a day. He felt as if he had known him for a long time and wouldn't mind at all if those conversations were a daily thing. If they stopped, he was sure he would miss them.
Obito yawned. The phone warned him that he had 10% battery left. He couldn't believe it was nearly two o'clock. Luckily he had the next day off.
[01:56] Obito: "I hope I didn't bore you with my work problems"
He knew he had to go to bed anyway. He had a lot of things to buy and he had to clean the house thoroughly too. Maybe buy a couple of plants. The living room felt cold and impersonal, and the rug had seen better days. He'd buy new sheets too. He no longer knew if the ones he had were decent or not.
Obito went to look at decorating websites and jotted down a few ideas.
[01:59] Katsuart: "Don't worry"
[01:59] Katsuart: "You needed to vent"
[01:59] Katsuart: "Besides, soon you'll be able to vent in a better way"
[01:59] Katsuart: "❤️"
He caught him off guard. Obito felt warmth on his chest, which soon spread to his face. That reminded him that they should talk about meeting and in turn, it made him imagine pinning the boy against a wall before kissing him. He could almost taste that kiss, and it tasted so good.
[02:03] Obito: "By the way"
[02:03] Obito: "I have booked the day off on Monday 11th"
[02:03] Obito: "Personal matters"
He didn't take his eyes off the screen as Katsu typed.
[02:04] Katsuart: "I have to go to class"
Sometimes Obito forgot that the rest of the world used to be busy from Monday to Friday. When he was writing an apology, he saw that Katsu was still writing.
[02:04] Katsuart: "But it's ok"
[02:04] Katsuart: ":)"
He shook his head.
[02:04] Obito: "Don't skip class because of a pervert like me"
Katsu sent him a whole row of laughing emojis.
[02:05] Katsuart: "As if I didn't already!"
[02:05] Obito: "Skipping class for perverts?"
[02:05] Katsuart: "Just skipping class!"
Obito was grinning at the screen like an idiot.
[02:06] Katsuart: "What's the plan? You said you had room at home"
[02:06] Obito: "As much as we need"
[02:06] Obito: "But I'd like to take you out for a drink first"
[02:06] Obito: "..."
[02:07] Obito: "I know it doesn't sound too direct to the point and impersonal..."
He took a moment to think about what he was going to say next. He regretted having written that. He regretted the wording. He deleted the excuse he was making up when he saw another row of laughing emojis.
[02:07] Katsuart: "Okay"
[02:07] Katsuart: "I like talking to you"
The next minute, Obito spent it rereading that line over and over again, his goofy grin becoming even goofier. He didn't need to look in a mirror to be sure of that.
[02:09] Katsuart: "You have better conversation than most here at least"
[02:09] Obito: "Is that true?"
[02:10] Katsuart: "At least you didn't introduce yourself with a dick pic"
Obito laughed. He had also gotten a few of those, he didn't know it was common. He had resorted to the app as a last resort.
[02:10] Obito: “Excuse me”
[02:10] Obito: "My knowledge of the code of conduct of this place is poor. Maybe you were expecting a dick pic from me"
He waited anxiously for the answer, glancing at the clock. He should go to sleep.
[02:11] Katsuart: "No need"
[02:11] Katsuart: "On Monday I'll meet it in person"
He felt it awakening just at that moment. A mess of emotions made his hands shake as he wrote the answer, having to delete several times because of all the typos he was making.
[02:11] Obito: "I think..."
[02:12] Obito: "It also wants to meet you"
His heart pounded hard as he waited for an answer. Deidara had read it.
[02:13] Katsuart: "Tell it it's going to love what I'm going to do to it"
Obito wasn't tired anymore. A part of him felt pathetic having such conversations with an art student he hadn't even met in person. Most of his cousins, even the younger ones, were already married and had at least a child.
[02:14] Obito: "It says that now it won't be able to sleep all night."
But in that shame he felt, his curiosity and desire were stronger.
[02:14] Obito: "And neither will I"
Slowly, his hand moved to his crotch. Obito was hard. Embarrassingly hard. It felt too good when he started stroking himself, he needed it. He imagined it was Katsu's hand as he pondered what he would think if he knew what he was doing and thinking.
Obito needed to find out. He hit the camera icon and snapped a picture of his hand grabbing the bulge in his crotch.
[02:14] Obito sent a file.
[02:15] Obito: "I didn't send you a dick pic but that can be solved"
He started to rub harder when he saw what Katsu had seen him.
[02:16] Katsuart sent a file.
Katsu had taken his trousers off and was lying on his bed, a huge erection under his underwear. The word tempting fell short and Obito had to open his pants and give himself a few strokes.
[02:17] Katsuart sent a file.
The new photo was taken from the other end of the bed, using the timer. It showed Katsu in all fours, looking back, his butt pointing straight at the camera.
[02:17] Katsuart: "If we're going to jerk off together every night, we have to do things right"
After that last vision, Obito found it hard to stop stroking himself to write.
[02:18] Obito: "Nice ass"
[02:18] Obito: "Looks like it's asking for cock"
Obito was too hot to think about what he was writing.
[02:18] Obito: "I would love to give it some"
[02:19] Katsuart: "This ass wants you to leave it so sore that I still can't sit properly a month later"
Shit.
Obito spat on his hand. His entire body was on fire. Waves of pleasure traveled throughout his body as he jerked off. He wanted to fill that ass. He wanted to hear Katsu moan over the creak of the springs. He wanted to feel how he tightened around his cock. He stared at the last photo he sent until the orgasm forced him to close his eyes. He was panting quite loudly, he realized when he came to his senses.
He didn't have anything to clean himself with either. Obito walked to the kitchen counter to get some paper towel and clean the mess he had left on his trousers and shirt.
He went back to the phone to check if he had new messages. It looked like Obito had finished before him. He sent the rainbow emoji, a grin on his face, then he went to get ready for bed. It was already way past his usual hour.
Right before leaving the phone charging, he saw the rainbow emoji in reply to his.
[02:31] Obito: "Good night Katsu"
He then sent a few kisses and waited impatiently for Katsu's response.
[02:32] Katsuart: "Deidara"
[02:32] Katsuart: "Good evening Tobi"
"Deidara," Obito pronounced.
Although he liked the sound of it, it was already Katsu to him in his head. Obito was touched to see that Deidara felt comfortable enough with him to give him his real name.
[02:33] Obito: "Obito"
Then the phone died.
