A/N: Hi! So..this is basically going to be an Asuma x Kakashi fic, just because there isn't enough of them out there. Spread the AsuKaka love! =3

Summary: For the first chapter, I'm just gonna let you read yourselves...

Disclaimer: I don't own Asuma nor Kakashi. Naruto belongs to Kishimoto-sensei.

I Won't See You Tonight

Asuma groaned and turned in his bed. Damn that alarm, always going off whenever he felt like sleeping longer. He pushed the slumber button, lay on his back again and put his pillow over his face. He really didn't feel like getting up today. The sheets were so warm and inviting anyway, what could it possibly hurt to stay a little longer...

9:AM. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He'd overslept. The meeting was starting in a rough hour, and how bad wouldn't it look if he was late? Way to make a good first impression. Asuma got up from bed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After he'd closed the shower doors, he turned on the water. It felt amazing, running down his body, soothing his tense muscles. He wished he could've stayed in that heavenly shower forever, but knew it'd be impossible. 'Tis okay, Asuma. You can shower as much as you want to when that silly meeting's over... Stepping out of the shower and quickly drying himself, he started to think about what he was going to face during the next couple of hours.

He never cared much about meetings and such, but frankly, he was a bit nervous now. After all, it would probably end up with him and that guy fighting, since there was no way they'd come to an agreement.

Asuma put on his suit, fixed his tie and looked at himself in the mirror. Not too grumpy, but not too nice either, he decided. Perfect. He didn't know what this Mr. Hatake would be like, for all he knew he could be some old guy, but he wanted to make a good first impression nonetheless.

He checked his watch. 9:27. Damn. He hadn't been showering that long, now, had he? Asuma hurried out of his hotel room, grabbing his suitcase as he went.

When he'd gotten out on the highway, he sped up. He couldn't be late. It was a thirty minute ride after all, and he needed the time.


Hatake Kakashi was sitting in his chair in his office. 9.35. Oh well, some waiting never hurt anyone. He loved testing out people's patience, anyway.


Asuma rushed through the front doors, bumping into people in his way, but he didn't care. Can't. Be. Late. He found the conference room where the meeting was supposed to be held, and burst through the doors. Not unexpectedly, some congress members already were there, scattered around the table. He did a quick observation. It left him with the conclusion that all of them were middel-aged or older men, probably in their fifties and sixties. Was Hatake Kakashi one of them?

He found a set, and introduced himself. "Um...if you don't mind me asking, who of you are..?" he trailed off, vaguely gesturing with his hand. "Oh, Mr. Hatake?" one of them, the oldest one it seemed, by the look of him, replied. "He's not here yet." Asuma could feel his heart bursting. Not here yet? Why the hell have I been having such a rush then?! There was really no tiny hope of them coming to an agreement now, he only loathed the man more. Who did he think he was, making important people wait like this. "You must excuse him, he's always been a bit... Late." "I see. Well, we'll just have to wait then, won't we." Asuma said - he found it hard to hide the disgust in his voice.


Kakashi checked his watch. 11.33 - time to get going.


Asuma was drumming his fingers on the table. This was really getting boring. Surprisingly, his companions at the table didn't seem to mind the late fellow. They were probably used to it anyway, he thought to himself.

Finally, there was a tap on the door followed by a man walking through it. The guy looked like he was in mid-twenties, with ruffled silver hair. His hair completely covered his left eye, and his visible eye curved like a crescent moon when he smiled. The first impression that Asuma got of him though, was that he was incredibly handsome. He shook the thoughts off as soon as they'd entered his mind. "Heh, excuse me for being a bit late," the guy said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "Mr. Hatake," one of the men replied.

Asuma's heart skipped a beat involuntary. Mr. Hatake? Hatake Kakashi? It couldn't be. THIS GUY?!


A/N: Hehhe. I've been wanting to try this out with the AsuKaka pairing for a while, so yuh ^^ I'll put a full summary in the next chapter and things will be explained a little further, so don't worry. This was just for starters. Please review and tell me what you think!
