Quickly, it was already early February. There was love in the air as people were getting excited for the coming Valentine's Day. Obviously, Kakashi was not one of them. Instead of planning where to go, he was actually planning how to hide from his fans and other admirers. Although he took care of Naruto on the daily basis, both Minato and himself agreed that he should either be out on mission or stay at home, so that he could avoid the crazy people.

When Tenzo arrived home after a mission, he was surprised to see two Uchiha were in the kitchen with his sempai. "Hey, what you guys are making? Smelling so good in the air."

"Chocolate, clearly, kohai," Kakashi smiled and then turned back to the working island, "are you guys done?"

"Yes, Kakashi," the slightly older Uchiha answered, "thanks man." He placed 6 of the gift boxes into a paper bag, "well, I guess Itachi and I will see you guys later then."

"Sure," Kakashi replied and witnessed the two Uchiha disappeared in the air. "So my kohai, do you want to try some?"

"Yea, why not?" Tenzo replied, while placing his porches on the chair. "Didn't know that the young Itachi actually keen to do such things…"

"Ma… for the young Sasuke, you know. He loves the boy so much…"

"I see." Tenzo smirked. Then he placed another truffle in his mouth, "this is nice, sempai. The sake ones are better than last year's."

Then, as expected, it was February 14th, Valentine's Day. As previously organised, Kakashi reinforced the kekkai around the Hatake compound, and then he simply sat back and enjoyed his Icha Icha in the living room. In some way, because of the crazy people, he was glad that he has a day off and could take his time at home.

And when it was around 5, he sent out Guruko to take Naruto back home, while getting Bisuke to the Nara with a small gift box, and Uhei to deliver the bento boxes to the Namikaze house, as he would not want his sensei to cook, as the man was good at most of the things in life, but definitely not cooking. He then prepared his dinner. It has been a long while since he has dinner in his house. Normally he would have it over the Namikaze. But then, he should get used to it soon. Once Naruto managed to look after himself properly, then there was not much reason for him to over his sensei's house.

Nonetheless, when he was doing the preparation in the kitchen, Tenzo arrived in the room by a heap of smoke. "Sempai, I am home."

"Great." He looked at the plant on his kohai's hand. "What's this?"

Tenzo scratched his head shyly and said, "it's for you, sempai. Happy Valentine's Day."

"Thanks," Kakashi replied, then he placed the plant next to Mr Shiro and Mr Kiiro. He smiled warmly as he caught the double meaning of giving him a plant. Mr Shiro was given by his chichue, at the only birthday that he has celebrated with the man. It almost die when his father committed seppuku, as he felt abandoned and so he did not want to look after the plant anymore. And so that was when Mr Kiiro came along, due to the fact that Minato did not know what to cheer the boy up and he remembered the plant that Sakumo bought years ago. Understandably, the names of the plants were reflected the sender and they were the ones that were there for Kakashi all these years, apart from his lovely ninkens. "Tenzo," he turned back to the younger man behind him, "shall I call him Mr Midori then?"

Tenzo smiled and nodded softly, "I was thinking of naming it Kuro, but of course Midori is nice. Glad that you got my punt."

Kakashi chucked softly, "I am not called a genius for nothing, Tenzo." Then he took out a beautifully wrapped box, handed it to the younger man, "for you, my kohai.".

Then, they sat down and have their dinner. And later on, at night, especially today, was warm enough to melt the snow outside.

On that same night, if Minato knew what he would see, he would not go to his protégé's house. He was only planning to collect that document that he needed to read, and that he thought his student would be staying at home, doing nothing other than reading. But, actually, that was not his protégé's plan. He was glad that he did not just jump right into the room. He was shocked and horrified. The shock reality has hit him right into his face. He was glad that he could manage to pull himself away from the window. Both of his shinobi were naked. His protégé was sitting on the wood nin's lap and moaning the way that he never would dare to think of. The moan was so alluring that even he flushed, feeling his face was redden, simply by the quick glance. Somehow, he didn't know what to think and that he felt a bit bitter. He thought he knew everything about his student, but obviously not. He did not think that Kakashi was actually going out with Tenzo, and he did not understand why he felt hurt and betrayed. It was already few years passed by, where Kakashi was no longer his shadow. They did not go for missions together since he was appointed as the Hokage. Somehow, he just felt that he was no longer needed by the younger man, and this reality hit him.

He managed to get himself home and sat by the dinning table. He sat there, suddenly deeply into thinking, as he did not know how he was going to face the younger man later on in the morning. He kept remaining himself that it was not really a big deal, as seems the boys were so into their own world to the fact that they would not able to sense his presence. Furthermore, they were already adults; they have the right to do whatever they want to.

The image of Kakashi having sex with Tenzo somehow really engraved into Minato's mind and it took him a few moment to get it out from his mind. To some people, Valentine's night was a sleepless night. It was also true for Minato this time, but just not for the right reason.

Author's Note

Well, although initially, when I started to write this story, the final pairing is MinaKaka, however, as the story develops, I just felt so sorry for Tenzo and wanted to write more YamaKaka! So what do you, my dear readers think?

Vi

p.s. I made Minato watched the boys having sex on purpose, as I really doubt that Minato, if he was not dead, would realise that he has fallen for Kakashi, as I sometimes think that he is a moralist, in some aspect...
