Kakashi wakes up in the middle of the night because Alex's phone won't stop its vibrations. He fumbles a bit, trying to find it on the tangle of blankets over him. Someone starts pounding at the door and Alex comes out of her room, rumpled and sleepy.

Kakashi makes a double-take. "Is that my shirt?"

She shrugs at him, entirely unapologetic. "I stole it."

He can't fully see who is on the other side of the door when Alex opens it but he can hear the conversation just fine.

"Sarah…?"

There are a few sniffles before she gets an answer. "You didn't answer your phone."

Well, that answers the mystery of the calls.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have my phone on me."

There's silence again and Kakashi almost winces in sympathy. How awkward.

"Do you… You have someone staying over?" That's weirdly heartbroken, at the same time, the girl shows up crying in the middle of the night. So maybe it's unrelated.

"Uhm… Yeah. I have a friend crashing on my couch." Kakashi can almost see Alex twitch in discomfort.

"Oh... Ok. That's… That's good, right?"

Maybe Kakashi should get some popcorn. He senses the drama coming.

More silence. Kakashi scoots over so he can see better.

"Do you… Uhm… I mean, would you like to come in? Maybe some water would be good."

They're both stepping inside and now Kakashi can see the newcomer. The girl is wearing a gold party dress with heels and a high blond ponytail to Alex's bun and oversized shirt masquerading as pyjamas. They're made of contrasts, the both of them.

"I'm not drunk," The girl tells Alex, her voice a little hurt.

"Oh! I know! I didn't mean it like that. Sorry."

There's more awkward silence as they stand frozen two steps away from the door.

"Eh... Right. Water. I'll bring you some."

Alex stops next to his couch as Sarah calls her. The lights are still off. Kakashi can almost taste the awkwardness on his mouth. "Alex! She cheated on me."

Kakashi can see Alex close her eyes and take a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

The girl continues running her hands through her hair nervously and Alex finally turns around.

Damn it, Kakashi needs the popcorn but moving now could ruin it. The lights are off so Sarah has no idea he's there. Or she's doing a good job at ignoring him.

"What do you want from me, Sarah?" Which is a fair question, actually, or so Kakashi thinks. Haven't they broken up?

There are almost tears slipping down the blonde's cheeks. They refuse to fall. "I'm sorry. I just…" And then Sarah is marching all the way to Alex and kissing her square in the mouth. This is better than his Icha Icha. Alex is pushing her away, though. Gently but it's still denial.

"I don't think this is a good idea for you right now," Alex says.

Sarah rests her forehead on Alex's hair. "Just tonight. Please. Just tonight."

Kakashi stops breathing, the anticipation is killing him. It takes Alex long enough to answer that Kakashi is almost sure it will be a no. "Ok. Just tonight."

Alex's words are merely above a whisper but Sarah answers her in the same tone: "Just tonight."

And then they're kissing again, Sarah has one hand undoing Alex's bun and the other sneaking its way under the oversized shirt. Alex has one hand pulling on the blond ponytail to move the other woman as she wants and the other hand unzipping the dress. As soon as the dress is on the floor, Alex is walking Sarah to her room all with Sarah's mouth on her neck and her own fingers caressing the edges of the blond's underwear.

There's too much noise for Kakashi to sleep that night. He still high fives his friend as the blond sneaks out of the apartment during breakfast and Alex smothers her laughter against his shoulder.
