Summary: When he bought the sculpture, how was he supposed to know that it would domino into something new? And much more exciting.
AN: Ahhh, yes, another story, another week. This one is called the Artist and the businessman. It will end up being a Kankuro/Naruto story with a side of Kankuro/Hinata.
Please keep in mind that I do love Hinata but I needed someone to be a bitch and I’m tired of using Sakura for that. Thus, Hinata.
Also, I just wanted to say that I love talking with my reviewers. I love answering reviews. Whenever possible, drop a line. Even if it’s just one word, I don’t mind. I try to respond to it. If you have questions, feel free to ask and I will try to answer.
*~*~*~*
Strolling over the campus grassy quad, Kankuro reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and sticking on into his mouth, lighting it as he contemplated just what he was going to get his girlfriend for her upcoming birthday. Hinata was a bitch to buy for, despite her supposedly very sweet nature. She liked certain things, mostly statues and paintings that came from galleries that could wipe out his personal monthly budget if he wasn’t careful about it.
Kankuro shuddered at the thought of dealing with a sneering or leering gallery worker again.
Snorting, Kankuro blew out a slow stream of smoke as he watched Sakura coo up at a bored looking Sasuke. He had a moment where he sneered at the thought of how much his relationship with Hinata was like Sakura’s with Sasuke sometimes. Shuddering, he made a promise to really think about why he and Hinata did or did not work together at a time when he wasn’t freaking about her birthday gift.
Stopping before one of the many notice boards that were scattered about, Kankuro pulled out his phone and started to hunt for a new art gallery that wouldn’t kill him to go to. There was always some notice or another on the damn things after all. Looking up, it was a rather colorful flyer that caught his attention, prompting him to pull it down and really look at it with a quirked eyebrow.
“Ink and Clay art, huh?” he drawled, closing the screen on his phone and calling the number that was provided on the flyer.
“Ink and Clay, this is Naruto. How can I help you?” a professional sounding voice answered his call. The voice made Kankuro pause for a moment as a memory niggled at him, which he quickly threw off.
“Yeah, hi. My name is Kankuro and I was hoping could commission you for a project for someone,” he said, bringing his cigarette up to his mouth and taking a slow drag off of it. The sound of shuffling papers and the dull thump of a book being dropped onto something soft came over the line.
“Do you have time to meet today for a consultation? I’m going to need to ask some questions about the price and that’s done a whole lot easier face to face,” Naruto finally stated. Kankuro checked his watched and figured he would have plenty of time to meet this Naruto guy and then head home in time to meet Hinata for a night in to study for their upcoming tests.
“Yeah, I have time now,” Kankuro stated, tacking the flyer back up and strolling away from the message board.
“Wonderful. Do you know the small coffee place on the edge of the college campus?” Naruto asked.
“Yeah, I do. Want me to meet you there?” Kankuro returned, turning towards that end of the campus.
“That would be perfect. I’ll be there in about 20 minutes. Go to the back booth, near the end of the counter,” Naruto instructed before yelping. “I’ll meet you there,” he promised before hanging up.
Kankuro snickered and slipped his phone back into his back pocket, continuing to stroll towards the café. He allowed his mind to wander towards the memory finally, a picture of sultry blue eyes and soft blond hair flashing through his mental eye.
“Could be him,” Kankuro mused, eyes blinking as a slow smile spread over his lips. “Be interesting to see if it’s him or not. Who would have thought he would actually be good enough to have a mini business all of his own.”
Stepping into the café, he headed towards the booth, sliding into the side that allowed him to watch the front door and ordered a coke along with some mozzarella sticks from the waitress that came up to him.
As his order was placed down before him, a familiar blue eyed blond walked in. He was wearing his usual paint and bleached streaked jeans that hung loose on his hips and legs, and a shirt that looked as if it had seen better days. Blue eyes looked tired and blond hair was looking a bit on the limp side, a bit of clay dust clinging to a lock or two.
All around, Naruto Uzumaki looked bed raggled and tired.
Kankuro waved a hand at the younger man, getting a nod and a tired smile from Naruto. As he walked over, the large man sat back and ate a mozzarella stick, watching the lanky body move. He had to admit that despite the baggy clothes that Naruto wore, he was still good looking. His eyes sparkled, even when tired, and his hair fell around a sweetheart shaped face. Naruto’s skin was lightly tanned and Kankuro knew for a fact that it was the same color all over, having gotten the information from his younger brother.
He had to wonder just why Naruto wore such clothing before shoving it aside with a mental reminder that he was currently dating Hinata. And he could not afford to think of anyone else while he was with her.
“Hello, Kankuro,” Naruto greeted. Sliding into the booth, he put a book bag down onto the table. “Can I get the same dish as him?” he asked the waitress. Getting a smile from her and a nod, he turned back to Kankuro and tilted his head.
“I thought I knew your voice,” Kankuro chuckled, popping another bite into his mouth. The waitress was quick to bring Naruto’s order over, putting down on the table before once more leaving. “My brother Gaara lived with you in the dorms his first semester right?”
“Yeah. I’m just glad that we’re able to move out when we finish our first semester,” Naruto snorted as he bit into a warm mozzarella stick. “Okay, so you wanted to commission something from me,” he said, getting down to business as he dug out a sketch book and some pencils. “Got any ideas what you want?”
“It’s probably can’t be no more than 3 to 8 inches tall,” Kankuro said, Naruto jotting a note down in one corner. “I was thinking something with bamboo, a butterfly and maybe a dragonfly?” he suggested.
Naruto gazed at the paper for a few moments, the two eating in silence before finally putting pen to paper and starting to sketch.
“Three pieces of bamboo, each a different height,” he mused to himself, sketching that out with a smile. “Dragonfly on one, butterfly on the other with its wings half up.” Looking at the picture that was slowly forming, Kankuro’s eyebrows rose upwards at the simple rendering that was starting to become an elegant design with each swipe of the pencil.
“Wow,” he breathed, eyes shooting upwards to catch a small smile on Naruto’s lips.
“Maybe a rainbow dragonfly and a simple gold and green butterfly,” the younger male mused. “When will you need it done?”
“A month and a half?” Kankuro guessed and making sure to check his phone to confirm the date. “Yeah, a month and a half.”
“I should have it done and ready for you. I have your number so I’ll send you updates on it,” Naruto promised, Kankuro smiling in agreement. The younger male squashed the flare of lust as it rose up with a smile. “Shouldn’t cost much more than a couple hundred. Is that fine?”
“More than fine. A lot less than what I would have spent in some high class gallery,” Kankuro chuckled, tipping his soda in thanks.
“Mostly the clay type that I use and the labor takes’ up the money. But this time it’s going to cost a bit more because of the special glazes that I’m going to use on it instead,” Naruto explained, filling in the color on the picture.
“That’s fine as long as Hinata will like it,” Kankuro said, smiling when Naruto did.
“I’m sure that she will,” he promised, showing Kankuro the final sketch, various notes on color and style surrounding it already. Looking it over, the older man could see the finished product in his head, making him smile brightly and nod. Once he had signed the agreement, Naruto paid for his half of the bill, gathered his things and left.
Finishing his soda, Kankuro headed to his apartment, glad for the extra time to hop into the shower. He was unsurprised by the way Hinata joined him in the shower.
As they flopped onto the couch, spent and content, Kankuro frowned at the way the sex had been rather on the unsatisfying side. Something that didn’t happen often when he was with someone.
Shifting, he pulled Hinata close and shoved the thought of blond locks, blue eyes and a quick smile down. The fact that he was thinking about Naruto while he was with his girlfriend unnerved him, along with the fact that he could just imagine what was under those clothes.
“Kankuro, what are we going to do for my birthday?” Hinata coyly asked.
Kankuro chuckled and squeezed her around her waist. “You’ll find out,” he promised, once more pushing the thoughts of Naruto aside.
He really did not need those thoughts.
