Chapter Text
he felt hands wrap around his waist , not in a harsh manner but soft , gentle . something that kakashi of the sharigan wasn't used to . not yet , at least .
gai always tried to be gentle with him , even though the Leaf's noble green beast wasn't exactly gentle in some ways , he tried to be . for his rival . his lover.
so when he felt rough , coarse hands from hard labors , pull him close and hold him after a long mission , good gods . talk about pure bliss . it was soft , and secure . his embrace was one of the many things he loves about gai . (he wouldn't tell a soul this , but he has a list of all of the reasons . he finds himself adding more each day .)
" Hello , Gai . " was all he could mutter out , well , he could've said more , but he chose not too . his words said all . he felt vibration and muffled words come from his shoulder . incoherent , yeah . but the silvered hair jounin could've figured what is was . maybe . hopefully .
he was glad to be back to his home , to his cute little genin team ( even though they could be little shits sometimes . ) and especially back to gai . his eternal rival , his eternal lover .
