'Perfect,' she thought. 'Fucking perfect.' After living with him for three years, graduating early and getting a job as a tutor for her old university to help pay off her student loans, Sakura still had no idea why Kakashi kept coming to her sessions with the intention of seeking help. He was getting his masters in English and he came to her, a non-English major about his work. Yeah, she could've just helped him at their apartment, and yeah, she was always up to her eyeballs in tasks for her residency at Konoha's hospital, but why did he feel the need to come and take up her time during her office hours?
She let out a frustrated sigh and rubbed her hand across her face. "Kakashi, why must you do this?"
He let a crescent eyed smile take over his face and with an innocent voice, spoke utter nonsense, "What do you mean, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura pinched the bridge of her nose to try and relieve the tension in her fingers and almost snorted at his question. "You know what I'm talking about," she grumbled out.
"No, I'm not quite sure I do," he half sang and half spoke. He was doing this to just antagonize her.
"You don't need my help and are wasting my time. Other students actually need my help, ya know." Yes, she was frustrated but she could never truly get mad at him. He had helped her after all these years. Her patience was running quite thin now.
"Why, Sakura-chan. Are you saying that I don't need your help?" He still kept the playfulness in his words. He just loved to tease her.
"Yes, Kakashi-kun. That's exactly what I'm saying." The rosette desperately tried to reel back the bite in her tone, she was probably failing miserably.
"Ok!" The silver-haired fox gathered his papers in his bookbag and mock saluted her as he left through her office door. He was more than a hassle. Although he paid for an hour Sakura had finished him in a matter of 20 minutes. With 40 minutes left to go, she could finally relax and think back on a patient of hers from her clinical rotations.
Sakura checked her schedule and noticed that she had only one more student left for the day and could finally retire back to her apartment and put up her aching feet. Heels on a school day were not the best idea she had ever had. She could sneak away and get a coffee while she was waiting for her next student. She had about half an hour left until her next student when she suddenly realized the name of the person who had booked her time next. She definitely needed coffee now.
Who was next? One Naruto Uzumaki, of course. This was going to be one hell of a long hour.
Hey guys! This is going to be a series of interconnected one-shots surrounding KakaSaku in a same-age modern AU. Kakashi being motivated enough to get his master's in a subject just plain old sounds hilarious as he might be one of the laziest students ever. Each chapter is going to be around 250-500 words. Hope you like it!
