I gotta man that's always late
Anytime we have a date
But I love him
Yes, I love him
So I'm gonna walk up to his gate
See if we can't get it straight
'Cause I want him
Yeah, I intend to have him
I'll just ask him
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?

Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby
It was time! Sakura was sick to death of Kakashi being late when they had set dates. Although she was unsure why she expected different from her perpetually tardy boyfriend - she had just hoped that as his girlfriend she had been bumped up his important list enough!
If she wasn't so madly in love with the man she was sure she would have broken up with him already. Suspicions were rising in the Pinkette's brain and they had been for awhile. She was finally just going to ask him!
'And beat the shit out of him if I'm right! Shannaro!' She thought to herself.
She stomped through the gate of his apartment building and headed around the back to jump from fire escape to fire escape until she reached his apartment. Looking through his window she saw her former Sensei (and current beau) sprawled across his bed, his blanket pulled up to cover his mask less face. She felt a rush of affection at the sight then a pang of sadness at the thought that he maybe tired of her.
She lowered herself silently onto the bed and started running her fingers through the unruly mane of silver hair on his head.
"….Kura?" Kakashi's groggy sleep-addled voice muttered.
"'Kashi are you tired of me, of us? You don't seem as interested in this relationship as you used to and I worry you've found someone new."
"Sakura" Kakashi's voice had lost all traces of sleepiness and sounded scarily reminiscent of the stern 'Sensei' voice he used to use when he was trying to get a point across to Team Seven. "I am not nor will I ever be tired of you Sakura. I am as happy in this relationship as I was at the start. My heart belongs to you entirely and only you. I am sorry I have made you feel this way. I am still working my way around having a real relationship and I am so used to burying my emotions. The rule; Shinobi Must Not Show Emotion was too big a part of my life for so long that it is hard for me to show you I love you but I do Sakura, I love you so much it scares me. So do this old man a favor and stick by me, don't let my lack of ability to show my emotions push you away. I am working on it because I truly want to show that I care and most importantly I don't want to lose you."
"Kakashi you're not an old man." Sakura chuckled.
"Is that all you got from that?" Kakashi frowned.
"Of course not! I am so happy to hear you say that and I love you so incredibly much and nothing will ever push me away from you. I came here because I wanted to fight for you, for us. When we got together I was ready for the long haul, for forever and I still am. I love you Kakashi."
Kakashi leaned forward and captured his Love's lips in a chaste kiss that was full of his emotions and love, he was so glad he had his pink haired soul mate by his side.
