Sasuke.

Pain had not expected to see him here. Here, in the home he has made with Konan -- not the one they had before, nor their home in their world, nor anything which feels like it has been meant for their two bodies to inhabit, but there is a roof and there are beds.

It is raining outside, if lightly; droplets run all down the length of Sasuke's skin, and Pain notices more than he feels he should. Beds. Yes, certainly. A warm one in which he has been relaxing with Konan while the sky has flowed by in sunbursts and splotches of hazy grey clouds. When the sunlight turns from milk white as in bare skies to a trickle of rust and honey, that it is when the world is ripe for love-making.

And they have been making love. Himself. Konan: with the renewed spirit of people who have found one another again, past hell and hardships, and his body is still warm from her body, but Sasuke --

Sasuke, Pain cannot help realizing with a pang, is alone still

What brings him here? Nothing, nothing. Nothing at all, really, just - it's not important. No, it's that Pain and Sasuke are allies now, and it's hardly unusual for Sasuke to go and see an ally. No, god no, he needs a specific reason. Something concrete. Think, think.

"Hn."

Oh, right, good. Well, it'll buy time at least. No it won't. He needs to think of something, a good reason for coming here. Kakashi is a bastard bastard bastard is a fine reason, but not something he's going to admit to. So what reason?

Sasuke maneuvers himself over to the door, where there are only a few stray droplets of rain. Tired of being both wet and confused. Not that he is confused, really. He knows why he is here. He has a reason and that reason is: what. What is his fucking reason. What is it.

"Am I interrupting something?" Deflect. Think of a reason. He probably should have thought about this before.

Sasuke appears to be distraught

[cleancutpaper]

There is a flutter of paper feet skimming across the hallway's wooden floors. (Konan remembers there were no wood floors in Amegakure. There was steel-- cold and sucking the warmth from them. So, in a sense, she feels that this is somehow better for them, though cannot explain why.) Cobalt hair is roused, the paper flower absent from its place, and the line of her lips-- usually stern when she is conducting God's business-- is replaced by a placid, resting smile. Between her fingers, a slice of pomegranate lies in a casual, gentle curve. The taste left on her tongue, accompanied by the afterglow of her love-making, is one she savors; lets the seeds linger in her mouth before she swallows

Huh?

Admittedly, Sasuke's mind is not in an altogether stable place right now. Okay, he is a bit fucked. He feels he is justified in this. Putting aside the whole Itachi thing, the whole fact that his brother is gone, gone, gone - there is also the fact that from the second he saw Kakashi this morning he has had a sick churning feeling in his gut (and he knows what it is, he knows, and he can't believe he allowed this to happen) and now Kakashi and that other bastard are off doing - doing - fuck them, is the point. The point is - Sasuke is not right. He knows this a little bit. Of course he knows: he is not okay right now. Right now, he is directly across the fucking planet from okay. Start digging a hole at "okay" and you could pass right through the center of the earth and hit Sasuke's location, he is fucked.

This fact (that Sasuke is wrong, wrong, wrong) is the reason for all of this. For Sasuke blinking and not saying a word when Pain says, uh, "Virginity will not improve your mood." For the length of time it takes Sasuke to
