Summary
"Gai burned with bright flames.
Sometimes Kakashi felt like a moth, unable to stop looking at the man, helplessly drawn to him despite knowing better. Sometimes he wondered if maybe his fate was to be Icarus, if Gai, brilliant as the sun, would only ever burn his wings with warmth he did not deserve."
Kakashi tries to get rid of feelings he has towards Gai. He fails spectacularly. But Gai is there to catch him.

Summary
"Kakashi was exhausted.
The mission he was sent to turned out to be a complete disaster. Nothing went according to plan, even his homecoming got delayed. After a few days of chasing the enemy only to get nothing in return, the only thing he wanted was to lie down in Gai’s warm embrace and fall asleep.
Of course his life was also a disaster."
Kakashi is afraid of going to sleep because of the constant nightmares he experiences. Gai might have a solution for that.
