Summary
There’s a hand, fingers cold, on his elbow – someone trying to get his attention. Usually, usually, his staff would know that just calling his name is enough, that he’s fine-tuned to the sound of it like a dog waiting for a command. But as he looks down and then to the person the chilled digits belong to, he finds Whitaker staring up at him owlishly. A shudder goes through him, senses zeroing in on the point of contact.
“Can I help you?” It comes out bitchier than he intended, caught off-guard as he is. But he doesn’t take it back, not even when the kid bites at his lower lip as if he wants to apologize.
“I just wanted to ask if you liked the chicken parm.”
aka Robby doesn't know he's being wooed by home-cooked meals and big, honest eyes.

Summary
The index finger at his sternum felt like the muzzle of a gun. Whitaker’ heart jumped further up his throat. He could feel his heartbeat burning on his tongue.
“Do you just do whatever people tell you?”
Whitaker fucks up. Then Robby fucks up worse.Bookmarked by Neamhain

Summary
“You got a verse for that, too?”
Once again, Dennis pauses to think, willing his futile diploma into good use. He tries to stay focused as he meets Robby’s patient gaze, but the sight leaves his heart kicking erratically against his ribs.
“‘Come now, and let us reason together. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; if they’re red like crimson, they shall become like wool.’”
“Jeez, Whitaker,” Robby huffs, elated. “You got the whole book memorized?”
“Something like that.”
Robby and Whitaker keep running into each other at the hospital's chapel.

Summary
A few years after the war, Naruto finds himself in a bind: his friends are all pairing off, and this somehow means he should have someone special too. Sakura seems to think she has the perfect person in mind, and no matter what Naruto says, he can’t convince her he isn’t interested.
At least there’s one person who isn’t weirdly invested in his nonexistent love life—Kakashi-sensei, for all that Naruto is convinced he’s a closet romantic because of his Icha Icha obsession, couldn’t care less who anyone dates. He probably finds the idea of his goofball student being romantically involved with anyone in the first place completely laughable.
His sensei is totally uninterested in the idea of Naruto and romance, and Naruto is confident he can count on that.

Summary
When Naruto is offered a chance to earn the right to see Kakashi’s face, he’s ecstatic. He has exactly two-thirds of a plan, a stubborn streak the size of Hi no Kuni, and a feral curiosity he refuses to examine too closely—he’s done more with less.
Besides, being the one who finally gets to peel back the mask and see the smile underneath… That’s totally worth whatever sadistic punishment awaits him if he loses.
Probably.
(Sage, he hopes he wins.)
