"Kakashi-sensei?"
"Hm?"
"Are you avoiding me?"
"Why Sakura, what would make you think such a thing?"
" I heard that sarcasm."
"..."
"Why are you avoiding me?"
"Sakura, I am not avoiding you."
"I can take one step forwards and you'll take a step back."
She stepped forwards. He stepped back.
"See? What's wrong with me? Have I done something wrong?"
Kakashi swallowed.
"No, Sakura. You haven't done anything."
"If I haven't, who has?"
"Me."
She frowned.
"How?"
Silence.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
More silence. A page turned.
Kakashi was pushed to the floor and jumped upon.
"Sakura, what are you-"
"ANSWER ME, KAKASHI."
No honorific. He crumbled on the inside.
"How old are you, Sakura?"
"... I'm twenty."
"And how old am I?"
"... You're thirty-three."
He leant forward. Masked lips came into contact with a surprised mouth.
He broke apart.
"How wrong was that, Sakura?"
Silence.
"Sakura, I want an answer."
Her face. Still filled with surprise.
"You-"
He flipped her over. She was on the ground. He was above her.
"Kakashi, you-"
"Yes."
Silence. Eerie, dreaded silence. He had crossed the line. He knew it.
"You were avoiding me. Because-"
Love. Who knew? He made to get off her. Long, slender arms stopped him.
"Kiss me, again."
His eye widened. Her hands untied his headband. It was thrown to the floor. They came to his mask, edging it down his nose.
"Kiss me, Kakashi."
Stillness. His hand halted her.
"No. It's wrong."
Green eyes narrowed. He was flipped over. She was on top, he was underneath her.
"Avoiding the truth, Kakashi-sensei. That's cowardly."
No reply.
She smiled. A smile that glowed, speaking a thousand words. His grip weakened. His eyes shimmered. The mask came down.
Lips were pressed together. Hearts were sewn. Fates were tied.
She was his.
A/N: I don't think I've read one KakaSaku fic which doesn't mention Kakashi feeling guilty about his age, or the fact that Sakura is his student. This is sort of outlining that. Some people are twenty years apart in marriage. Some teachers marry their students. It's not wrong and it's nothing Kakashi should feel guilty about. I mean, he and Sakura ARE perfect for each other, after all. :3
Age is just a number and people shag their bosses. Period.
