Who: Pein and Konan
What: Pein takes Konan out for a Date on Naruto's birthday.
Where: Konoha - Ichiraku Ramen Bar and a random souvenir shop.
When: Wednesday, October 10th
Why: Because more Konan/Pein schmoop was demanded by Snuzz. And we wanted to. XD
Also: You didn't see this unless you happened to be in Konoha yourself. In which case you were never close enough to hear what they were saying or properly identify them. You might have done a double taken than shook your head thinking, "There's no way they'd be out in the open like this." You would have then moved along and passed it off as a figment of your imagination.
Pein: *is dressed nicely, but not too nicely, and not in his Akatsuki cloak* *doesn't want to stick out like too much of a sore thumb* *holding Konan's hand in his* So. We're here. Now what, Ko-chan?
Konan: *also dressed nicely, but with hair down and no rose* Dinner first, I should think. Any place you’ve heard about that’s good?
Pein: There's that ramen place, but the likelihood of running into Minato, Kushina, Naruto or anyone we might want to avoid is much higher there than anywhere else. *brushes his thumb across the back of her hand* So, ramen?
Konan: *kisses him on the side of his lips* Ramen it is. It’s not like we didn’t come prepared for trouble.
Pein: *while not an akatsuki cloak, he is wearing a cloak all the same and has more than enough weaponry to get them safely out of there should the need arise* And what's the fun of sneaking into Konoha under their noses if we don't do it in plain sight, hm? *pulls her in for a proper kiss before leading the way to Ichiraku Ramen* *walks through town like he owns the place*
Konan: Absolutely no fun at all, love. *is enjoying actually going out for once* I almost like the feeling that comes with no one knowing who we are.
Pein: *squeezes her hand as he guides her in front of the ramen bar* It's different, for sure. I think I prefer the fear and/or reverence we get when people know us. *is of course not referring to those that know them well*
Konan: *grins and squeezes back* And who wouldn’t be afraid of their god and his angel? *kisses him again*
Pein: *doesn't want to stop kissing Konan, but they're blocking the way and someone just poked him in his back* *turns to face them* What? *random Konoha resident takes one look at him goes O.O and walks away* *turns to face Konan* Guess he wasn't hungry after all. *smirks and finds them a spot to sit at the bar*
Konan: That or he’s concerned that you’re going to attract lightening and kill us all. *pokes him on the nose before sitting down* It’s good to be out of the house.
Pein: He might be right about the second part, but I don't have enough metal to attract lightning. *scrunches his nose when Konan pokes it* *sits down next to her and wraps an arm possessively around her waist* I'm enjoying it.
Konan: *leans her head on his shoulder* So am I. *is struck by an idea* Maybe after dinner we should buy some postcards and send them to your half-brother. I think he’d like to hear from you. *smirks*
Pein: *smirks* I like that idea very much. We should fill them out and send them from here, too. Make sure he knows we were really here. *kisses her forehead* *is interrupted by Teuchi, the owner asking what they want* *orders a vegan ramen for himself and let's Konan pick out her own*
Konan: Miso, please. *waits for the owner to walk out of hearing range* I’m almost tempted to see if we could send him the bill. *pauses* Have you found anything out about how to seal it, yet? *figures now is a good time as any to talk since none of the other Akatsuki are around*
Pein: We'll have to try. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. *laughs* *suddenly gets serious* No, I haven't. I've been working on it, but no good leads yet. And coming up with something from scratch is difficult without a test subject. *shifts his hand lower and leers* Enough business talk, we're on a fucking date. *notices Teuchi heading back into hearing range, bringing them both steaming hot bowls of ramen* That was fucking fast.
Konan: *gives him a sultry look* Of course, darling. *beams at ramen* Maybe we should have a live in cook. Seeing that they can obviously cook things faster than we can.
Pein: *whispers in her ear* Maybe I'll just have to snag a piece of his hair and clone him. Then we can have his clone cook for us. *pulls back just enough to be able to eat, enjoying the delicious ramen* We definitely should, Ko-chan.
Konan: *shivers slightly* I agree, Pein-kun. *smirks and places her hand on his upper thigh before starting on her food*
Pein: *moans though whether its from the placement of Konan's hand or the deliciousness of the food, we will never know. >D* *calls Teuchi over and motions for him to lean forward* *whispers something in his ear, while stealing a few loose hairs on the sly from the back of his head* *has totally just asked if there's any chance for a special dessert for this very special occasion* *leans back as Teuchi walks away and safely stores the hairs while smirking at Konan* Mission accomplished.
Konan: *sly grin* I’ve never doubted you. After all, you’ve never lost a mission. *leans in closer to bite his earlobe before finishing her food*
Pein: *finishes his food, too* *smirks* Now Ko-chan, unless your name is Zetsu, you should be saving the man-eating for the bedroom. *really doesn't mind it at all*
Konan: *snorts with disbelief* Somehow I don’t think you’d want him eating you.
Pein: You're right about that. *shudders slightly* And fucking not in the way he'd prefer to. *smirks when Teuchi comes out moments later with an array of sweets for the two of them then walks away again with their empty ramen bowls* Ol' Min-chan is going to fucking birth a fuuma shuriken when he gets this bill. I don't fucking think any of it is actually on the menu.
Konan: Teaches him not to keep a close eye on his beloved Konoha. *licks lips and delicately picks out something made of pure sugar* It’s so nice of him to treat us to such a lovely meal, too.
Pein: Especially on his son's birthday. *laughs evilly, but not too evilly because he can't tip off Teuchi* *picks up a stick of dango and slowly pops all three pieces into his mouth before chewing*
Konan: *eyebrow raise* It’s his birthday? *smirk* Oh, I’m sure our lovely visit will go down even better. While celebrating his son’s birthday he’s let his guard down. *nibbles slightly at her own dango*
Pein: *moves on to some plum wine sorbet after he finishes the dango in his mouth, offering Konan a bite first* Perhaps we should save some of this sugar for him, give him something to wash the bitter taste out of his mouth with.
Konan: *licks lips again and takes what’s offered* I think he’d love that even more.
Pein: *takes a bite of the sorbet himself then leans in to kiss Konan, enjoying the taste of plum wine on their lips* I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel full.
Konan: *kisses back, grinning* I’d have to agree. Shall we see about that bill and a postcard before we get otherwise distracted?
Pein: *grins* I think that's a great idea. *calls Teuchi over and uses the shinobi mind trick his charming, winning personality to convince him to put the entire bill on Minato's tab* Ready, Ko-chan? *stands up and as soon as she's next to him, his arm is wrapped around her waist again as they make their way out of the ramen bar*
Konan: And now, to find the nearest souvenir shop. *leans against him and smiles*
Pein: *grins* It's fucking great to be out with you, *voice goes a little quieter* my paper crane of love. *then back to normal volume* Aha! There's a shop over there with a rack full of postcards. *points to it with his other hand*
Konan: *small smile* I’ve missed this, you know. *grins* Shall we investigate and find the perfect postcard to send to your dearest brother?
Pein: Once we complete our goals we'll be able to do this all the time. We'll be untouchable. *ponders for a second* Well, I doubt they'll have the perfect one, but we can go for second best. *whispers* Unless you think there's a large demand for "Aniki, I'll get the kyuubi yet," postcards.
Konan: *purrs* That alone makes everything worth it. *grins* You can always write it on the back if you feel the need. *flips through the racks* Hmmm…
Pein: Of course it does, sweetie. *steps behind her resting his chin on her shoulder and wrapping his arms tight around her waist to look at the postcards with her* *spots one that says "greetings from Konoha," with a picture of the hokage sculptures after Naruto had graffitied them years ago* How about that one?
Konan: *pulls it out and inspects it* I like it. You can see the artist did a wonderful job with your brother’s face.
Pein: Check the back, does it say who it was? *grins*
Konan: *flips it over and reads before laughing* Naruto! This is perfect.
Pein: You're fucking shitting me! *looks closer* No, you're not. *laughs* Oh, he'll shit bricks when he gets this one for sure.
Konan: *moves over to the cashier to pay for it* *decides to ask for some ink and a brush as well* Hmm. What should we write…
Pein: Hmmm. How about, "To my dearest Aniki, Thanks for dinner and dessert on your son's birthday. The people of Konoha are fucking hospitable and the views are fucking great. We'll visit again soon. Love, your dearest Otouto and his girl. P.S. We'll get the cubed bee yet." *knows they can't actually say kyuubi on the postcard, anyone can read it*
Konan: *writes it down with practiced strokes* Hm. *writes in the address to the Hokage’s office* I think that’s it. *hands it over for inspection*
Pein: Looks perfect, Ko-chan. *plops it into the mailbox and offers his arm to Konan* Ready to go home?
Konan: *kisses* Yes, I believe so. Thank you for such a wonderful evening out, Pein.
Pein: *kisses* I'm glad you suggested it, Ko-chan. We'll have to do this again soon. *scene fades to black*
