Chiisai lay beside Kakashi, their bodies entangled beneath the sheets. His arm and leg rested on top of her, his deep breaths warm against her hair. She nestled into him, now flush against his skin. Cuddling wasn't a common occurrence of hers, but he was so warm and relaxed. He was usually cold and alert during the day, always scolding her and being a nuisance. To think he had this side of him, even while asleep, astounded her. And to have someone close...She wasn't alone anymore, and it...it was nice.
Too nice, she scolded herself. Those were dangerous thoughts. He was her protector after all; their relationship wasn't even real. A blush rose to her cheeks as her fingers grazed over his abdomen. Chiisai paused, now aware of the muscles rippling beneath his tank. Immediately, she spread her fingers against him, pushing herself away. Kakashi seemed to sense her movement in his sleep. He pulled her closer to him, adjusting his leg to keep her in place.
Her eyes widened at the pressure in her lower torso. His heavy thigh now rested on her bladder. Crap.
She reached for his leg, but her arms weren't strong enough to move it. Frustrated, Chiisai tried for his arm. Were his limbs locked or something? She couldn't even pry his hand off her. Surely he didn't way this much.
Chiisai clawed for the end of the mattress now, using it as leverage to pull herself from the jonin. She kicked him in the process. He grumbled nonsense and pulled her tighter.
Her breathing grew heavier. Damn, she was puny. Maybe she could go into the dream world and wake him. No, she couldn't sleep with all that weight on her bladder. She needed to go to the bathroom.
She twisted under him, attempting to find some opening to escape. In response, he lowered his hand down to the curve of her waist, sinking his fingers into her backside. "Mmm…"
Her face contorted with surprise, her skin reddening at the foreign touch. She grabbed his arm, yanking it back to her waist. Now that his arm was mobile, she attempted to push it upward. Chiisai groaned as her hands gripped his skin, her muscles straining with effort. Just a few more inches, and she could slide under-
"...What're you doing?" Kakashi muttered under his breath.
She blinked. "...You're awake? Your leg is crushing my bladder!"
"Then why didn't you say something?" He shifted his leg away, allowing her to move freely.
Chiisai ran a hand through her hair and replied, "I didn't want to wake you!"
Kakashi didn't bother opening his eye. "I thought you were in someone's nightmare with all that kicking and shoving."
Her eyebrows furrowed as she said, "You mean...you were awake this whole time? You...You grabbed my ass!"
Yawning, the jonin mumbled, "Huh, I may have slept through some of it…"
"You're such a pervert!" She pushed his shoulder, though he didn't budge. Kakashi finally opened his eye and met her gaze. With one brow raised, he said, "And you like to cuddle."
She straightened abruptly. "Psh...that's absurd."
Kakashi rubbed his temples and sighed. "Oi, how about we both just admit we're attracted to each other?"
"That is not-"
"I felt your hands, Chiisai."
"Ugh, fine." She crossed her arms and looked away. "Your muscles...are pleasant."
He flattened his brow. "You're great with compliments, aren't you."
"Shuttup."
Kakashi closed his eye. He really must have dozed off; he wouldn't have touched her without her consent. God, he was losing control fast. "Well," he gestured, "come back to bed if you don't have to go to the bathroom. I'll resist crushing your bladder."
Gradually, Chiisai slid back under the covers, making sure to stay as close to the edge of the bed as possible. She tried to convince herself that any other ninja would have such a physique, and any other person would feel just as warm as Kakashi. But it was still different, and she couldn't put a finger on it as to why. And what she had felt when he touched her-
"I am sorry," Kakashi whispered in the darkness. "What I did...wasn't right."
She glanced at him, taking in his posture and tone of voice. Chiisai gazed back up at ceiling, and after a moment, said, "...People do weird things when they're half awake." She paused, rolled away, and then confessed, "But don't do it again...I'm afraid I may have enjoyed it."
Kakashi opened his eye, but Chiisai no longer faced him. Did she really just say that? Sighing, the jonin turned and faced the wall.
This was going to be the most difficult mission he had ever faced.
