Chapter Summary: A peek into Kakashi's mind, and also are the most mature fearsome individuals.. totally.

A/N: An actual Kakashi POV yey! And a tiny hint on what's different in this universe. Hopefully you guys like. I was pretty worried about these next two chapters. Hopefully the next chapter will be up by next week. Just having a bit of problem. Lol, I honestly didn't expect this to be multiple chapters or this long. Please leave a review, I really appreciate it and helps keep me writing.

Kakashi holds in a laugh at the sight of Itachi and Shisui hopping down from the window frame, steps quiet and faces, or at least Shisui's set in a wide grin. He'd probably feel more upset at them barging in and possibly threaten his darling kouhais if it weren't for the frustrated glare Obito is sending the two. Heck, there's an entire conversation going on between the cousins consisting of minute face twitches and glaring that leaves him laughing internally. Uchihas and specifically Obito are adorable. So, he does what he does best.

With eyes distracted and not focused on him, he finishes his untouched lunch with a quick jutsu and then pointedly, loudly clicks his chopsticks down on the bento, pleased smile pulling his lips up behind his mask as attention once again turn to him.

Obito's impression of a fish is absolutely worth it.

"You… How…" his lunch partner tries to form the questions as his eyes dart from his face to his now empty bento box then back and back again. The reactions are always so worth it, and Obito's is down right cute. A glance at his oh-so-precious kouhais reveal they're frustrated with the little trick and had hoped they had taken him by obvious disappointment on Shisui's face and small twitch of a frown on Itachi's lips are just the cherry on top. Uchihas are adorable .

He sends them a sweet smile as he tilts his head in false confusion, "Is something wrong?"

Despite his habit of lacking a brain to mouth filter whenever he found himself around Kakashi, Obito is apparently not rude enough to comment or question how the hell he managed to shove his food down his throat so fast. Pity, he had so many blow job jokes and innuendos already lined up. Instead, Obito's shoulders slump as he finishes his own meal, frowning at his cousins.

"What do you two want anyway?" the annoyance in his tone warms Kakashi a little, and he has to shove down the pleased little thought of how Obito really liked spending time alone with him. Despite practically every other Uchiha's opinion of him.

The glance the two newcomers share is enough to tell Kakashi that the Uchiha's opinion of him is exactly why they're here. He's thankful for Itachi's neutral, "Father says you were taking too long."

Also meaning, 'Stop flirting with the secretary and come back to your work!'

The awkwardness in the room could probably be felt even by the ANBU outside the window.

"Ah well," Kakashi starts, hoping to clear the air of it a bit, "Sorry for keeping you, Uchiha-san,"

"Oh, no! This was fun and thanks for the lunch," is the flustered reply as Obito slowly got up from his seat, looking like he really didn't want to. "Maybe we can do this again sometime?"

He gives a small shrug in answer as the three make a quick exit out the window, Shisui and Itachi giving respectful nods to him as soon as Obito is out before following. He can't help but sigh and rub a hand across his face in annoyance. The temptation to say yes was strong, just as strong as the temptation to agree to go out with Obito earlier. But that's not something he should be doing, because despite what it seemed he is on the job. The fact he's so torn would make Minato and Kushina so happy.

Honestly, Kakashi never thought accepting Minato's offer would affect him like this. But then again, Obito did bulldoze into his life like a runaway boulder.

It's not that his sensei slash guardian's plan is wrong. When Minato had told him of this plan all those years ago, when he was a Jounin at 9, he agreed to the merits of it, and because it was Minato asking it of him. Minato who had taken him in after his father's suicide just because he had been assigned as his sensei a few months before. He'd agreed even knowing Minato was only trying to drag him out of the darkness of ANBU missions. And honestly despite how it really shouldn't, the plan works . People forget so easily what his name is, and even genius orphans can get lost in the system so they take one glance at sweet unassuming Kakashi who's stuck behind the desk as the Hokage's overworked secretary and underestimated him, making it so so easy to root out plots and traitors hiding in the dark. (Ha! Take that Danzo!). It's almost worrying how well the plan works.

But then, apparently life decided he doesn't get to escape teenhood and haunted him even as a 21 year old. He wonders if this soap opera is the kind of thing he'd have experienced if he didn't fast track through life and by extension school.

Soft snickers outside the window make him sigh, turning a glare at his subordinates. Honestly, he gets no respect here.

Apparently figuring the privacy seals will hold up and that the village isn't going to self-destruct if they turn away for a bit, Genma and Tenzou hop in through the window while Yugao pops out of a vent he hadn't even been aware she was in.

"Enjoy the show?" he asks relaxing in his seat, stance changing entirely as he's surrounded by his team, and gaze promising they'll be regretting what their answer is on the next training session.

Genma has no self-preservation instincts as he tugs his mask off just to show off the grin in his face, "As much as you enjoyed putting it on, Captain,"

Which, rude. And he's just about to say so when Yugao speaks up as well. Apparently a lack of self-preservation instincts run through his precious squad. (Thinking about it, that makes sense cause ANBU. )

"Would have enjoyed it more if the brats didn't interrupt, how'd they get past you two?" she scoffs glaring at her teammates. "Things were just getting fun!"

The two sputter indignantly, Tenzou's probably more honest than Genma's. The former ROOT's face turn even redder than when he first came in, and Kakashi almost worries for him.

"Hey! We were protecting Captain's purity!"

Every set of eyes turned to Genma at that, Raidou even popping out of his own vent to give his partner a look that screamed just how stupid he thought he was.

It apparently eggs Genma on, batting his eyes sweetly at them, "Oh come on, we've heard Obito. Surely it's our duty to protect his dear sweet Kakashi from his own dastardly plans?"

If there's one thing about this situation that Kakashi hates, it's that he's given his squad enough ammo to keep teasing him til he dies, or they do. Genma's comment makes the usually calm Tenzou choke on air and Raidou to hop out and whack some sense into him even as Yugao cackles about Obito looking like he wanted to throw Kakashi down on the desk right then and there. Honestly, this is the supposedly feared ANBU.

Turning his thoughts to the situation now, Kakashi can't help but frown. It really is frustrating.

Obito's idea of him is honestly cute. That he's some helpless, possibly ill, non-combatant dragged into being Minato's secretary. He doesn't even know if the Uchiha realizes he can't possibly be a civilian considering his job, but apparently that hasn't crossed his mind. His image of Kakashi and treatment of him, which practically all of Konoha knows of because Kushina-nee and Mikoto-san are gossips, has done wonders to building his cover. But it does mean he now can't bring Obito into what's really going on, despite turning into someone Minato would possibly trust with the truth.

Not to mention Obito himself. The Uchiha is adorable and sweet and seems utterly besotted with Kakashi… but there's still no way to say how he'd react to the fact he's apparently been falling in love flirting with a cover story, someone who doesn't even exist. Kakashi is ANBU. He's first and foremost, Hound, ANBU Captain and a member of Minato's guard. Not the kind secretary Obito thinks he is and Minato hopes he could be.

His thoughts are interrupted this time by Minato and Bear entering the room. There's no comment about the bickering ANBU squad but the expression on his guardian's face is pure Hokage, which only means it's back to work for them.
