XI.


“We should clarify what happened…” sighed Jiraiya, as he diffidently knocked on the door. He got no response, so he tried again. "Maybe he is sleeping…” he thought, and decided to leave, and delay the hard conversation but he was forced to stop when Orochimaru finally opened the door. His robe was opened. He had just put it on getting out of his bed and he now didn’t wear any makeup, and looked much more exhausted and tormented than before in the evening light.

"The time doesn’t mean anything to you, right?" Orochimaru asked sarcastically.
"Sorry for bothering you…" he stepped back.
"You came here for a reason I'm assuming? So tell me, what do you want?" he invited him in, lead him to his room, and lit a candle. 
"Why doesn’t he turn on the light?” Jiraiya thought as he was slightly confused, but he was too worried to really bother about it that time. They both sat on the small bed.
"So?" Orochimaru started.
"We have to talk… about that day… at the resort." Jiraiya said
"I see." Orochimaru said sounding calm and reserved; he was nervous and excited at the same time however.
"I think I went a bit too far… I mean I drank a bit more than I needed to before you came, and things just happened…" he scratched the back of his head.
"So you were drunk?"
"Kinda…"
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Sure! I’m glad that we could finally clear it up." Orochimaru said as he smiled.
"Huh, so do I!" Jiraiya exclaimed, happy with the good response.
"Is there something else you’d like to talk about?" The black haired male asked in a sweet tone.
"I guess that’s all…" Jiraiya said.
"Then good night, Jiraiya." Orochimaru replied breezily.
“That was fast!” Jiraiya thought, as he reached the front door, followed by his mate, "Good night."
Jiraiya didn’t realize that his friends smile was merely an act. He didn't know that the answer given was the worst one possible. Didn't know how much his words had cut deep into the person he was trying to make amends with. He couldn't read the snakes lies, nobody could.

Orochimaru felt empty when he watched the larger man leave happily, leave content. How dare he be content that the entire night he was drunk and unaware, how dare he not take their entire ordeal seriously. How dare he shatter the legendary snake summoners heart with a smile of relief on his face. Was the only reason Jiraiya wanted him because he was drunk? His soul was sick, and even Kenji’s calls made his heart heavier. Abandoning who cared for him, wanting love from someone he could never get. He wanted to break up with Kenji for so long, but now he seemed to be the only one who loved him. He felt guilty. Orochimaru considered breaking up with Kenji once more but then the phone rang loudly. Orochimaru picked it up hastily.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey babe. It's me." Kenji spoke, he wasn't as enthusiastic as usual. The Sannin however seemed much more into hearing the mans voice.
"Kenji!" He greeted, "it's good to hear from you."
"Huh? Oh, haha it's good to hear from you to babe." Kenji laughed, he hadn't expected the other to sound so happy to hear him, "I was just calling in to say good morning."
"Well you've certainly made the morning a lot better than it was originally going to be." Orochimaru replied, "will you be back soon? How have you been?"
Kenji took a moment to answer, he wasn't used to the Sannin reciprocating his love so excitedly, "soon, I'll be back soon, and I've been well. I've got to go babe, but I'll phone you later okay?"
"I look forward to it." Orochimaru replied, he wished his lover goodbye and hung up the phone after they shared parting words.

--------

One afternoon, Orochimaru sat by his desk over some reports. The clouds covered the sun, so he switched on the light out of habit. He switched it off, and then on again. 
“I have electricity again?” He stated out loud, he was surprised and angry. He couldn’t pay the bills as he had spent almost all his money on his researches. Since he hadn't bought himself electricity with his nonexistent budget, who had? Tsunade? Surely not, not because she wouldn’t. She was rich, anyways. But he hadn't told her about his financial problems. The old geezer? Who knows… Or Kenji? He would definitely tell him to find a part time job or something, first. Or… Jiraiya? Somehow he felt it was him. But why, then? Better to ask Sarutobi. He had access even to this kind of information. However, did Orochimaru even want his sensei to know about it? Or know about ‘anything’ related to that? Sarutobi was much like Jiraiya. If he got involved, no one knew how it would end. If he wanted to know about something, he’d definitely find a way to gather information -even by lurking- but ‘only for the good purpose’. The worst thing was when he started to claim that he was not interested in women, asked embarrassing questions, and after a decade of ‘busyness’, he gave him an hour long lecture of safety sexual life. He always yearned for his sensei’s attention. However sometimes he got too much of it, and other times he was abandoned. 
Orochimaru decided to confront Jiraiya about it, if it was him he could force the information out of him, besides that, the man already knew of his financial issues, so there was nothing to hold against him. He called Jiraiya using his house phone and soon the mans voice picked up.
"Jiraiya!" Orochimaru demanded.
"Oro?" Jiraiya asked worriedly.
"Why did you buy me electricity?" He accused.
"Me? I didn't do that. I didn't know you didn't have electricity." Jiriaya replied.
"Bullshit. I lit a candle last night, I'm no fool. You pitied me and now I owe you for it. How much was it! I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money." Orochimaru said.
"Oro that isn't necessary." Jiraiya said unhappily, he hadn't wanted to get money from his broke friend.
"How much was it?" Orochimaru demanded.
"It was nothing." Jiraiya said.
"I have a right to know." Orochimaru argued.
Jiriaya then went on to say a price for his purchase, but it was obvious he was lying so that Orochimaru would pay less than he actually needed to.
"Answer me honestly Ji." Orochimaru said defeatedly.
Jiriaya didn't want to, "just leave it, it isn't important."
But it was important, it meant a lot to the Sannin who had no idea wether the man loved him or not. Why spend money on someone you didn't love? Why would anyone do that? It didn't make sense. It was confusing his mind and his heart. Little did he know Jiriaya felt the same way. As happy as he was that Orochimaru had reacted well to him being drunk, he was still hurt that the night had evidently meant nothing to the snake summoner. Both males had no idea they were hurting one another when they tried to spare each other's feelings.

------------

"Can I ask you… for some advice?" Orochimaru asked awkwardly.
“Wow! That's rare!" smiled the woman, "Love issues?"
"Well, you do it better than me, anyway." Orochimaru said brushing hair away from his eyes, trying not to reveal how shy he was about matters.
"Speak!" she gestured for him to start quickly.
"There is someone… I like him, but I’m not sure about his feelings and intentions…" Orochimaru said.
"And you’d like to find out." she finished, "try to wake up his attention, if you know what I mean!" she winked, "put on something provocative. Tease him!"
"What?" he blinked.
"Men are simple. Show them a bit more, behave like you are interested in their hobbies, start conversations, ask about them, be nice, and all will lie at your feet." Tsunade chuckled, "Don’t be shy! Besides, that man is a fool if he doesn’t want you."
Orochimaru watched her with his golden eyes. He didn't agree with her exactly, he didn't agree with her that he was wanted at all.
"I'm not sure about the last part... But I'll give your advice a shot." He said.
"What? Oro, look at yourself. You're beautiful, and intelligent, and thanks to missions and training you're in good shape. Your a ten, don't beat yourself up over your own critical thoughts." Tsunade said, then hugged her friend and winked once more before adding, " when I'm right about all this, you better give me all the details."
Orochimaru watched his friend leave. 

-----------

Jiraiya walked up to Tsunade as she hurried down the street, who better to ask for advice from than Tsunade?
"Hey Tsunade!" He called, she stopped and looked over at him.
"Hey." She greeted stopping her hurried steps.
"Can I uh- ask you something... About dating?" Jiraiya asked. She looked puzzled, he didn't know that Orochimaru had come to the blond Sannin moments ago.
"Speak..." She said curiously.
"Well I like this girl." Jiraiya said quickly, trying to throw her off his trail by saying girl instead of guy. However she was on to him, "and I don't know her feelings towards me."
Jiraiya didn't know that Tsunade had already put the pieces together. She smiled, some what evilly.
"Ask him out." Tsunade said.
"Her." Jiraiya said. Tsunade looked at him with a smug smile.
"No. Him, ask him out, that's the only way to know. If he says yes then there's your answer, if he says no... Then you're a bigger loser than I thought." She laughed, she then pet him on the back, "but don't worry, I'm sure he will give you the answer you want to hear." 
"Alright... Thanks..." Jiraiya said.
"And Jiraiya," Tsunade said quickly, "don't mess this up again. Make him feel special this time around, mention his outfit, his hair. Look him in the eyes. Don't objectify him, don't sexualize, romanticize. Don't use lines out of your awful literature books!"
"I get it!" Jiraiya said back, she laughed as she parted ways with her friend.
"You better loser." She said.
