Work Text:
You squeeze your eyes tight as you feel the harsh bright rays of the Sun hitting your sleep ridden, heavy eyelids. It must be well past when you usually wake up. You’re so sleepy, but you need to get up. This is your off day in a long time and you’ve got a lot to do. A list of all the things you need to get done once you’re up runs through your subconscious mind, perturbing you.
Languor takes over all your senses, making you barely aware of your surroundings. You want to get up, but it feels like you’re not even in control of your own body.
This fucking sunlight though, Jesus.
You force your eyes open just a slit. A blurry image of a room that’s not your own comes into view. Ugh I can’t even process anything.
You turn your gaze to your immediate vicinity and see an extended arm sticking out from under your head.
Oh.
Kakashi…
Images flood into your mind at the speed of light.
You and Kakashi watching TV…Kakashi carrying you from the couch to his bed… the two of you entangled in each other’s arms, kissing like it was for survival…him lifting your t-shirt slowly over your head…His mouth exploring your every curve and crevice…your sweaty bodies in rhythmic synchronization…both of your moans reverberating through the room…holding each other tight…falling asleep in his arms…
You feel the loud thud of your heart hammering in your chest as a montage of last night’s events plays through your mind. You’re fully awake and in your senses now. Your heart is racing as you recollect everything that happened just a few hours ago. Did that really happen?
Just the recollection sends a warm rush to your cheeks, followed closely by a feeling of overwhelming happiness in your heart. Yes, it did.
And with none other than Kakashi, the man you’re deeply in love with. The man you know loves you so much he’d die for you in a heartbeat. The man you know is the one.
You smile in contentment.
You take Kakashi’s hand sticking out from under your head and place a soft kiss on his palm, before intertwining your fingers with his. Judging by how motionless his hand feels, he must still be sound asleep. The thought of his beautiful face in tranquility, with his mussed hair sprawled all over it makes you smile to yourself. You slowly turn to your other side to face Kakashi, careful not to disturb him; anticipating a replicated sight of the image inside your head.
Facing him now, you rest your gaze upon him, only to catch him wide awake, staring at you with eyes so full of love and warmth, a subtle smile on his lips. His smile broadens as soon as your eyes meet.
He looks angelic lying there beside you, his ashen hair shining silver in the sunlight. You can’t help but smile back at him.
“Good morning”, you whisper, snuggling closer to Kakashi’s chest. “How long have you been up?”
He pulls you in further and kisses the top of your head. “A while. Did you sleep okay?”
“The best I’ve slept in ages” you answer truthfully.
“Me too” Kakashi says, firming up his grip around you, his tone husky from the sleep.
The Sun outside is starting to shine brighter now, making you just a tad clammy under all the covers. You bury your face in Kakashi’s chest, trying to block out the light.
He notices, indubitably. Nothing that causes you discomfort ever escapes the copy ninja’s observant eyes. He moves nearer, providing more of his chest as a shield to you.
“I’m sorry about that. I was going to get up and pull the curtains but...” his voice drops low “but you were sleeping on my arm...and I didn’t want to move away” he finishes in a murmur, as if he’s almost embarrassed to admit it.
You raise your head to look at him and start chuckling.
What did I ever to do deserve this guy?
You get an irresistible urge to just reach over and smother him with kisses.
“You’re so fucking cute, you know that?” you say, laughing. He flusters up, just as he always does whenever you compliment him.
“You might have mentioned it a few times” Kakashi says, trying to sound cocky but being deceived by the giddiness in his eyes.
“But still not enough” you say, pulling his face in towards you.
Holding his face in both your hands, you plant a kiss on his forehead, and then bridge of his nose, tracing your lips all over his face. His cheeks, his eyelids, the scar on his eye, his mole, and all across, before pressing your lips on his mouth. He immediately parts his lip, greeting your tongue into his mouth with his own. He requites, taking your face in his hands and pulling you to him as your tongues meet in fervent swirls.
You keep going till you’re completely breathless. You pull your lips apart slowly, panting and unwilling to stop, your lips like opposite ends of a magnet; but needing to catch your breath.
“Well that certainly makes up for missing out on our morning work out today” you remark with smile, your voice teasing.
Kakashi laughs. “More than makes up.”
You fall back down on the bed again, lying side by side on your backs in shared silence, taking in the warmth of each other’s presence.
“Y/n”, Kakashi’s voice breaks the silence after a while. You turn your face to see him looking at you, a solemnness in his eyes, almost as if he’s scared.
“You’re okay, right? I didn’t…hurt you or anything? Please don’t be afraid to tell me whatever you feel. I love you...I hope you know that, even though I may not say it that often. And I really hope that last night was just as great for you as it was for me.” He finishes, his tone genuine but tense.
The sincerity in his voice tugs at your heartstrings. No one has ever cared for you so much before. But then, no one before was Kakashi. You’ve been with guys before, but none of them ever made you feel the way Kakashi did. And you didn’t care much for how they made you feel either, they’d meant nothing to you. But Kakashi… he was perfect in every way. He was so considerate and patient with you, making sure you were okay and having a good time every step of the way. He had never even rushed you to do anything despite the two of you being together for almost 6 months now. He had never so much as hinted at anything.
You reach out and put your hand across his cheek, stroking it lightly.
“Kakashi… last night was the most beautiful night of my life. You were great. And I’m FINE. Better than fine. I’m really happy, and I’m glad last night happened. And i do know how much you love me. I love you too.” you say smiling as you stroke out the frown lines on his face.
Kakashi’s eyes soften, relief flowing over his face, smoothing out his features. A strange stiffness that you had noticed in him all this while vanishes and Kakashi looks like himself again. Even better, he looks happy. He beams at you, leaning over and placing a kiss on your lips.
“Well, how about some breakfast? I’ll make you your favorite.” Kakashi asks, sitting up on the bed now.
“Oh no, that’s fine, you don’t have to. I actually better get going. I have a lot to do today” you say, sighing, sitting up yourself.
“No, you don’t” Kakashi says, flatly.
You look at him, befuddled. “What do you mean? Yes, I do. I have to get my laundry, do some grocery shopping, organise my kitchen cabinets, clean my—”
“It’s all taken care of.” Kakashi answers, in the same flat voice.
“Huh?” you look at him, your face scrunched up, completely confused.
Kakashi laughs at the look on your face and takes your hands in his.
“Well, Y/n…I really wanted to spend the day with you. We hardly ever get off days or get to spend much time together. I wanted to spend time with you today so I got some clones and my ninken to care of all that for you”
You look at him, open mouthed, completely speechless.
“what did you- how did you even know what all I needed to do?”
“just saw the to-do list on your refrigerator last time I was at your place” he shrugs.
You gape at him, trying to process.
“Wait a minute, you really got Pakkun to agree to do my CHORES?”
“Well...” he pauses for a while… “eventually.” “you know I can sweet talk anyone into anything” Kakashi finishes, with a sly grin and a wink.
You laugh, staring at Kakashi in awe, completely caught off guard by all of this.
As the initial shock and confusion of the situation subsides , a sense of relief floods through you. You feel a little guilty for feeling this way but the realization that you now have no chores to do for the entire day and are free to spend a whole day with your boyfriend makes you way too happy to mull over that right now. Both your heart and your mind feel free of any worries. It’s just you and him now.
You crawl closer to Kakashi, climbing over his extended legs and positioning yourself on his lap. You wrap your arms around his neck, as his back rests against the headboard.
A mischief filled smile plays across your lips as you look deep into the eyes of the copy ninja.
“Well then...how about I sweet talk you into joining me for a shower right now, to properly express my gratitude... and then we can make breakfast and spend the rest of the day together?”
Kakashi pulls you in with a jerk, gripping your hips in hands and returning your smile.
“no sweet talking necessary for THAT.”
