Chapter 3
Kakashi and Sasuke were on their way back to Sasuke's place. They had gone to dinner with Naruto and Sakura and Kakashi was surprised at how well it went. Kakashi wasn't sure how Sasuke was going to be around them, but it wasn't too bad. Naruto had kept his mouth shut about the Sound and instead he talked about what he had done in the past three years. Kakashi was proud that neither Naruto nor Sakura brought up the Sound at all. They had at least understood the seriousness of the situation to keep quiet about it. Sasuke had made small conversation with Naruto and Sakura, but Kakashi could tell that Sasuke truly didn't care what they were talking about. Kakashi also noticed that they were getting looks from other villagers. Konoha knew that Sasuke was on a mission and that he didn't betray Konoha, but some were still not sure about him. Kakashi was hoping that the villagers were not stupid enough to try something. Sasuke wouldn't tolerate it and he would natural react without thinking. If they weren't careful Sasuke might kill someone without meaning to.
They arrived back to Sasuke's house. Sasuke went into the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of whiskey he had under the counter. He placed it down on the island counter top before grabbing a glass.
"You want a drink?"
"Sure, but I don't think you should be."
Sasuke grabbed another glass and grabbed his glass and the bottle before heading over to the couch. He placed the three items down on the table and poured two glasses. Kakashi went and sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Do I have a mission tomorrow?"
"No"
"Then what does it matter if I drink?"
"It's more of if you should be drinking so much."
"For what my age?"
"No in general."
"Why?"
Sasuke was sitting back and drinking his drink slowly. Kakashi was holding his drink. He had yet to take a drink from it.
"Because, drinking is never a solution to a problem. You're going through something right now and it's hard, but you shouldn't be drunk all the time."
"I'm not drunk all the time and don't act like you know what I'm going through. You spent three years retired. You don't know how I feel or what the fuck I went through. So don't talk like you do."
"I'm not Sasuke. I'm worried about you turning into a drunk. I don't want you to be drinking your problems away."
"Ya well I'm not."
"You going to tell me what you're so angry about?"
"Who says I'm angry?"
"The swearing tends to do that."
"So I swear doesn't mean I'm mad."
"You and I both know you're mad Sasuke. We can tip toe around this, but we both know you're pissed off about something."
"So what?"
"So what happened? What has you so mad?"
"Why the fuck do you care?"
"Because I care about you Sasuke. Talk to me what happened?"
"It's nothing."
"It's obviously something if it's got you pissed off."
"It's stupid."
Sasuke put his now empty glass down on the coffee table. Kakashi was still holding his. Sasuke sat back with his left leg brought up to his chest and his right leg hanging off the couch.
"It can't be that stupid if you're mad about it. Talking about it might make you less angry."
Sasuke let out a huff.
"In the Sound I got close to this one guy Nitto. We hung out all the time together. He was the only one that I trusted and we got close. The night before I killed Orochimaru he just took off. He didn't tell me that he was leaving or even said goodbye. It's stupid, because I was going to have to do the same thing the next day. I shouldn't be pissed off about it."
"You and Nitto were friends. It's natural for you to feel mad about him leaving without even saying anything to you. I'm assuming you two were close."
"Ya you could say that. He saved my life a lot and I saved his at times. We went out on missions together. He was always there when I came back from mine. We talked a lot; it was just comfortable being around him."
"Did you two ever become closer than friends?"
Sasuke didn't look at Kakashi when he had asked that. Kakashi already knew the answer obviously, but he was curious to see if Sasuke would say it.
"Does it matter?"
"It doesn't matter to me if you're gay Sasuke. I'm gay and had been in a relationship with a fellow ninja for five years before I had to retire and leave. I'm asking if you two were in a relationship, because it would make sense for you to feel mad and betrayed even, by him leaving."
"I don't know what we were. I wasn't sleeping with anyone else, but I don't know if he was. It just kind of happened one night."
"What happened?"
"I don't even know how it happened. It was a bad night. I had just gotten back from a mission and it was horrible. It had my head fucked up for a little while. That night I don't remember much from it. I was covered in blood and we ended up in the shower. Then we were fucking each other. The thing was though, that in the morning it just felt right. It wasn't awkward or painful. It was just nice. After that we just kind of got closer and before I knew it we were sharing a room together and sleeping together. It just kind of happened."
"Do you regret it?"
Kakashi couldn't help, but feel the knot in his stomach. He didn't know what he would do if Sasuke said yes. Kakashi didn't regret a single moment of it. He couldn't believe that Sasuke was even talking about this with him. Kakashi was going to see what he could get out of Sasuke before he wouldn't talk about it anymore.
"No I don't. I feel bad, because I couldn't actually tell him the real reason why I was there, but I don't regret a single moment of it."
"Do you miss him?"
"Ya I do. It's hard at night, after sleeping beside someone for so long to go back to sleeping alone. It's hard being back and not having that person that understood how you felt or what you went through with me anymore. He always just knew what to say or what to do to make it better. It's fucked up, because in the Sound all I could think about was getting the fuck out. It was so loud and dark. I couldn't wait to be back in the light and the quiet. A place where I wouldn't hear people screaming and begging to be left alone. Now that I'm here it's too quiet. The silence is suffocating and the light is blinding. It's fucked up, because it's what I was looking forward to and I can't stand it."
"It's going to take some time to get used to being back. I know it's hard, but it will get better in time. At least you have something that you can consider to be a positive from the Sound."
"So, who were you dating before you left?"
Sasuke grabbed the bottle and poured more into his glass. While Sasuke was looking down at the table Kakashi pulled his mask down and drank his whiskey. When Sasuke looked back up Kakashi had an empty glass and his mask back in place. Sasuke smirked at Kakashi before sitting back against the couch again.
"It wasn't an official relationship."
"Were either of you fucking anyone else?"
"No we were not."
"Then you were in a relationship. Whether you want to label it or not that's what it was."
"True and it was with Iruka."
"Seriously?" Sasuke said with a smile, a smile that Kakashi couldn't believe how much he missed.
"What?"
"Nothing I just thought you would have said Gai."
"Why?" Kakashi couldn't help, but sound a little grossed out by that.
Sasuke let out a chuckle, "Because you two were always together. He used to do those competitions with you. It's not that far of a stretch to think it continued into the bedroom."
"No, never. Absolutely not."
"Iruka eh? Let me guess he takes it."
"Yes he does. Do you?"
"That's a rather personal question." Sasuke said with a smile.
"You asked me."
"I enjoy bouncing."
Kakashi couldn't help, but laugh at that. The memories that came to the front of Kakashi's mind were enough to make him hard. Sasuke very much did enjoy being on top, bouncing up and down. It was also one of Kakashi's favorite positions.
"That's an interesting way to put it."
"Are you two going to rekindle the flame?"
"You sound like Gai."
"Do I look like I own green underwear?" Sasuke joked
"You're assuming he wears underwear."
"He doesn't?"
"He doesn't."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Sasuke couldn't help, but laugh at Kakashi. Kakashi laughed back and he couldn't believe how good this felt. It was like they were back in the Sound just having a fun night in.
"Ok seriously are you and Iruka gonna hook up again?"
"No we are definitely not."
"Why not?"
"I never actually told him I was leaving back then. I expected him to be mad and he was, but he wants to still be together."
"So what's stopping you?"
"Three years a part is a long time. I don't have feelings for him anymore. He doesn't think that way. He thinks I'm just stressed out after everything that has happened and just need a few days to think about it."
"Maybe he's right."
"He's not. I know how I feel and I don't feel that way for him anymore. He'll always be a friend and a comrade, but the sex is over."
"Was it good?" Sasuke smirked
"It was good, but there was one that was better."
"Oh really eh?"
"Ya. He was the only person I loved, I still love him. I miss him a lot."
"Ok see that sounds like a story you have to tell."
"I met someone during the three years I was retired. It was unexpected, but I don't regret it for a second. Having someone with me definitely made the days go by faster. He doesn't know that I had met someone."
"You're not going to tell him?"
"If it ever came up I might. I don't think it's any of his business if I met someone or not."
"You don't think he deserves to know the real reason why you don't want to be with him?"
"Well when you put it like that it sounds bad."
"Kinda ya."
"I probably should tell him."
"You probably really should. Are you ever going to see him again?"
"I hope so. He's been through a lot. I'm hoping that I'll get the chance to hold him again. Tell him that I love him. Did you love Nitto?"
"I've never been in love before, but I think if I was it would feel like that. So ya I think I did love him."
"Love is something that everyone should experience and it can happen at times when you never expect it. I should get going I have to still finish cleaning my house."
"Oh that sounds like fun."
"It's not, but I've been procrastinating for hours now. At least I have food."
"That's important."
"Do you have food?"
"I do not. I'll do it tomorrow I'll go in the morning so I don't have to deal with that many stupid villagers."
"Be nice to the villagers. They just found out the truth and they don't know how to act around you yet."
"I won't do anything to them."
"I know you won't. I'll see you tomorrow sometime Sasuke."
"Ya sure."
"Don't get too drunk."
"It takes a lot more than that to get me drunk."
"From what I've seen last night I don't doubt that, but last night you trashed your house. So try not to do that again."
"I'll be good dad I swear." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh don't ever call me dad again."
Kakashi got up off the couch and went to head to the door.
"What Iruka never called you dad when you were fucking him?"
"Iruka doesn't have daddy issues. Also it's a little creepy when you think about it. Reminds me something a pedophile would do."
"You'd be surprised what a pedophile will do." Sasuke whispered more to himself then to Kakashi.
It was then that Kakashi's mind clued in on what Sasuke had just said. Kakashi remembered there was this one time when Sasuke talked about Orochimaru. Kakashi had been training all day and Sasuke came in pissed off. Kakashi remember how Sasuke told him that Orochimaru made him call him daddy again. Kakashi didn't really question Sasuke about it too much, but Sasuke just said that it freaked him out.
"You okay?" Kakashi asked
"I'm fine. I got my whiskey so I'm fucking perfect."
"I can spend the night if you want you know."
"I don't need a babysitter I'm good. Go home to your dirty house."
"I have to clean my dirty house before Gai shows up and starts questioning my sanity."
"Maybe he'll offer to clean it for you."
"That would be even worse. I won't be able to find anything. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Good bye Kakashi."
"Goodnight Sasuke."
Kakashi headed out the door and made his way back to his place. He did need to finish up some cleaning. He cleaned earlier, but he didn't get to every room. He only did the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. He still needed to finish cleaning the living room, spare room and tomorrow he had to do the outside. He had been cleaning earlier, but he had gotten tired of it and decided that he could always finish up later when he couldn't sleep. Kakashi knew he needed to be able to sleep on his own, which is why he wasn't at Sasuke's right now. Kakashi knew that Sasuke would have let him spend the night for the same reason he had. Sasuke didn't want to sleep alone and most likely he couldn't sleep alone. Kakashi got to his home and went in. He was surprised to see that the living room was clean and Iruka was sitting down on the couch watching television.
"Iruka what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to come and see you and talk."
"And you cleaned?"
"It was driving me nuts."
Kakashi went over to the couch and sat down.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Naruto came to see me earlier. He told me how the four of you went to dinner. He seemed to be a little upset."
"I thought dinner went well. Naruto and Sakura didn't piss Sasuke off by asking all these questions. To me that means it was a good night."
"Naruto was upset that he couldn't ask Sasuke about the Sound. He said that Sasuke doesn't seem the same. He's worried about him."
"I know they are, but they also need to understand that Sasuke isn't going to be the same. They need to understand that. Sasuke's been through a lot in the past three years that alone will change a person. Three years is a long time."
"It is a long time and under any circumstances, that is enough to change a person. I think Naruto is worried that Sasuke has changed in a negative way though. I heard about him swearing and the way he talked to that legal guardian."
"First of all, that man Rija is not Sasuke's legal guardian. That man will never have any power over Sasuke. If he doesn't stay the hell away from Sasuke I will kill him."
"That's a little protective of you Kakashi."
"Sasuke's been through hell and I'm not going to sit back and let some fucking priest try and control him. Sasuke has been through hell and back I'm not going to sit around and let someone try to take advantage of him."
"You've been through hell and back to though Kakashi. You can't just focus all your attention on Sasuke. He'll either make it or he won't."
Kakashi couldn't help the anger that boiled inside of him. For Iruka to sit there and tell him that he shouldn't be focused on Sasuke that he should be more worried about himself. Kakashi couldn't believe that Iruka was so cold towards Sasuke.
"Yes I've been through a lot, but I'm older than he is. I wasn't thirteen being raped and tortured for months on end. I can handle what I went through, I'm not about to just abandon Sasuke. I don't even know how you could even suggest something like that."
"I'm saying you also have to focus on yourself. You can't run yourself into the ground for him Kakashi. That's what I'm saying you have to take care of yourself. Sasuke will either get over what happened and become a good young adult or he won't. That choice is only his to make."
"It's a choice he doesn't have to make alone. He shouldn't be going through this alone. I didn't leave him in the Sound and I'm not leaving him now."
"You know it's amazing how you fight so hard for him. Yet you keep leaving me. You don't tell me about this mission and three years go by; now that you're back you don't want to be together all of a sudden. Why are you fighting so hard for him and not giving a dam about our relationship."
"Because I love him."
Kakashi didn't mean for it to come out, but he was so angry in that moment he didn't care.
"What?"
The anger in Iruka's voice was very clear to Kakashi. Kakashi knew that there will be one hell of an agreement coming. It was just a matter of if it was tonight or at a later time.
"I love him." Kakashi said with confidence.
"You love him? He's a child. He's an Uchiha." It was clear that Iruka was disgusted and that only fueled Kakashi's rage.
"He's not a child. He's been through more in his life then you have. He's more of an adult then you. And what the hell does it matter if he's an Uchiha or not?"
"Uchiha don't care about anyone, but themselves. They aren't capable of love. How the hell can you love him? You were on this mission to protect him. How do you go from protecting to loving him?"
"It just happened one night."
"Did you sleep with him?" Iruka was disgusted by this conversation and that was made very clear.
"We spent two years in a relationship."
"Two years! You slept with a fourteen year old. Does he even know it was you yet?"
"No he doesn't. He'll find out when I tell him and if I find out someone else has then that person will be dealing with me. You might be pissed off, but do not make the stupid mistake of running your mouth Iruka. Or so help me you'll be in the hospital for a very long time."
"I can't believe you would fuck that Uchiha. Ya they're great for a weapon, but to be with, to be anything more than just a comrade is just disgusting."
"How dare you, talk about him like that! After everything he has been through you're going to judge him! Get the hell out of my house!"
Kakashi's anger had boiled over and he wasn't going to sit here and listen to this anymore. Kakashi got up and grabbed Iruka by the arm and dragged him over to his front door. Kakashi opened the door and pushed Iruka out.
"Let me know when you come to your senses Kakashi." Iruka said before he left Kakashi's front porch.
Kakashi slammed his front door closed. He was furious with what Iruka had just told him. Kakashi knew that Konoha had mixed feelings about Uchihas. It wasn't a secret that some thought very little of them and some thought the world of them. Kakashi didn't expect it to come from Iruka. He had taught Sasuke growing up. He had even bragged about how talented Sasuke was and how Sasuke was his star student. Now to hear Iruka talk about Sasuke as nothing more than a weapon just pissed Kakashi off. He couldn't help, but think how all those years Iruka sung Sasuke's name was all fake and for show. Sasuke had risked everything in the past three years and he didn't deserve to be treated like this. If it wasn't for Sasuke Konoha would have suffered the Sound and Orochimaru on multiple occasions. By Sasuke leaving for three years he protected Konoha from a possible war between the Sound and Konoha. A war that would have only started, because Orochimaru wanted Sasuke. Now Kakashi was pissed off and it was getting late. Kakashi had to try and get some sleep, even though he probably wouldn't be able to. Kakashi did know that he was too pissed off to just lie down. So Kakashi decided he would go out into the backyard and do some workouts to work off the anger.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sasuke was up all night. He couldn't sleep no matter how much he tried. It was too quiet and even if he had noise he couldn't sleep alone. After two years of sleeping beside someone, sleeping in their arms, it was almost impossible for Sasuke to get any sleep. He slept great the other night with Kakashi next to him, but Sasuke knew that he couldn't keep doing that. Kakashi might have slept next to him the other night, but Sasuke knew that was a onetime thing. Sasuke was getting bored already being in the village and not doing anything. So he decided to go to the Hokage Tower to speak with Tsunade and see if she would let him do some light missions. Sasuke hated walking around the village. The villagers all knew the truth, but that didn't make the whispering and looks stop. Even some ninjas were doing it. However, there were other ninjas and villagers that smiled and nodded at Sasuke. Sasuke figured he would just have to take the good with the bad. Sasuke got to Tsunade's office and he knocked just to be polite. He wanted something from Tsunade and he knew he wouldn't get it by being rude to her. Once he heard her say enter he opened the door and walked into the office.
"Sasuke what brings you here this morning?"
"I was hoping you would allow me to return to light duty Hokage-Sama."
"That's an awfully polite request Sasuke. You must be bored out of your mind. Though, I am surprised to find you so bored already. It's only been a couple of days."
"I know I've only been back three days now, but I am completely healthy. I'm not doing the village any good just sitting around."
"True. Now tell me the truth Sasuke. Why do you want to work?"
"For the past three years it's been non-stop work. Now I'm doing nothing all day. I can't keep sitting around doing nothing. I need to do something. I understand you don't want me doing long missions, but I don't see why I couldn't do smaller ones."
"Here's my problem, I don't want you outside of the village right now. It's too dangerous for you to be out on missions with the Sound ninjas looking for you. You killed Orochimaru, but that won't stop his loyal followers from trying to kill you. Plus with the Akatsuki starting to come back out and play I would like for you to be here in case one of them attacks."
"I can't just keep doing nothing all day."
"Well there is one option. It's a little out there, but it might just work. Iruka was telling me how his new class will be graduating soon. With everything that is going on in the world the odds of a war are very much real. He was thinking it would be a good idea for them to get some training by a higher ranking ninja. One that could teach them more than he can. Why don't you do it? It will keep you in the village, but it will also keep you busy. I'm sure there will be children lining up to get trained by you."
"And I'm sure there will be parents lining up to kill me for going around their kid."
"Sasuke it's no shock to you that everyone hates an Uchiha, until you need the Uchiha. I'm sure there will be a few parents that have a problem with it. However, there will be many parents that are thrilled to have you teaching their child. Everyone wants to learn from an Uchiha. I'm positive there is a lot you can teach those kids. If nothing else you can teach them how to survive."
"You're serious about this?"
"You said you wanted something to do. Unless you're not that bored yet."
Sasuke let out a sigh. He was bored out of his mind and he did want to do something with his time during the day. If nothing else he wanted to keep his mind from going through the memories. He was looking to get out of the village and go on missions, but that wasn't going to happen it seemed. This wasn't the best idea and Sasuke knew it wouldn't go over well with many of the parents. However, it would give him something to do and it was better than nothing.
"Alright I'll do it."
"Good choice. You can start tomorrow. I'll inform Iruka that you will be his aid. You will also be paid a monthly salary just like the rest of the teachers at the academy. I know this isn't what you were expecting, but you might actually enjoy it. Just remember that they are students and not S-Class criminals; so don't be too hard on them. If any of the parents give you too much trouble let me know and I'll handle it."
"Yes Hokage-Sama."
"One last thing, don't swear around the children."
"Hn"
Sasuke turned to leave the Hokage's office. Tsunade couldn't help but smirk at Sasuke. At least some things never change. Tsunade was hoping that she had made the right choice in sending Sasuke to help at the academy. She didn't know how well the parents would take it, but she was hoping the children would love having Sasuke around. Everyone knew how powerful the Uchiha Clan was. She was hoping the children would be more than willing to learn from someone like Sasuke.
Sasuke couldn't believe that tomorrow he would be teaching at the academy. He didn't know how he felt about it, but he figured it was better than sitting at home getting drunk all day. It was just past eleven and Sasuke decided he would head over to Kakashi's and see how he was. Once there Sasuke didn't even knock he just walked in and called out to Kakashi. Kakashi came around the corner from the kitchen.
"Hey Sasuke. What brings you here?"
"Boredom mostly. You look tired."
Sasuke walked over to Kakashi who was standing in his kitchen. Kakashi had been cleaning ever since he finished training last night. The truth was Kakashi was tired. He hadn't slept last night, because he just couldn't seem to get his body to relax.
"So do you. Didn't sleep too well last night?"
Sasuke sat down in one of the stools Kakashi had in the kitchen. He placed his arms down on the counter top of the island and looked at Kakashi.
"I didn't sleep."
"Why not?"
"I never realised how hard it would be to sleep alone after sleeping with someone for two years. What's your excuse for being so tired?"
"Part of it is the same as yours. I didn't sleep last night either. Like you I'm not used to sleeping alone anymore either so it was hard to even get relaxed. The other part is I had a fight with Iruka last night when I got back from your place."
"Let me guess what that fight was about."
Kakashi let out a sigh and he sat down in the other stool in his kitchen.
"He's mad that I was in a relationship while I was away. I can understand that I just didn't like the way he spoke about the other man."
"What did he say?"
"It doesn't matter he doesn't even know this person. I think that's what upset me the most was that he was talking that way about a stranger. He feels betrayed and I can understand that."
"Ya, but it's not your fault you fell in love. You weren't going away with the intentions of falling in love with another man. It just happened. So ya he can be pissed, but at the same time you don't have anything to apologise for. Besides, who's to say that he wasn't fucking around while you were gone?"
"True I didn't ask him that. He has every right to feel the way that he does, but I just got so angry at what he was saying to me. I even threw him out of here. That was what annoyed me to begin with. I come back and he's here cleaning my home like it's his place. Oh well what's done is done and I don't regret what I did with this man."
"You ever going to tell me his name?"
"It's none of your business what his name is." Kakashi said lightly back.
"Oh okay fine keep your secrets." Sasuke joked back
"What brings you here? Shouldn't you be at home sleeping?"
"I was bored so I went to see Tsunade. I asked about doing some missions."
"Seriously? Sasuke you've only been back three days. You shouldn't be doing missions already."
"Ya that's kinda what she said, but she did give me something to keep me busy. She wants me to go work at the academy with the graduating class. Apparently, Iruka was suggesting to have a higher ranking ninja to help train the class with what is going on right now."
"And you said yes?"
"Ya fuck it why not? I'm sure the parents will be all uptight about me being around their brats, but they can get over it. It gives me something to do at least."
Kakashi couldn't believe this was happening. Iruka was pissed off at him, because he fell in love with Sasuke. Now Sasuke was going to be working beside him for the next few months. Kakashi didn't see this ending well for anyone involved.
"Are you sure this is something you want to do?"
"It's better than doing nothing. It'll be annoying, but if I can teach them something that will keep them alive longer in the field then it'll be worth it. Hopefully the parents won't freak out too much about it. Tsunade thinks that they will be happy to have an Uchiha teaching their child, but I don't think it's going to go over so well."
"It's a coin flip really. They could either feel proud and honored to have an Uchiha teaching their child. Or they could be furious and try to kill you. Either way don't kill anyone."
"I'm not going to kill someone. If they attack me I'm not just going to stand there and take it, but I won't kill them."
Kakashi couldn't help the yawn that escaped his mouth. Sasuke smirked at him.
"You're getting tired in your old age. Can't pull an all-nighter anymore." Sasuke joked.
"I still can, but I haven't slept much in the past three years. It's been stressful and tiring. What about you?"
"Sleep is not a common occurrence for me, especially alone."
"Come on."
Kakashi got up off the stool.
"Where?"
"To bed. I'm exhausted and you need sleep. So let's go sleep."
Kakashi said as he made his way towards his bedroom down the hall. Sasuke didn't get off the stool right away. He sat there and thought about it for a moment. He did need sleep. His body wasn't going to tolerate no sleep for very long. Not after the last three years. He also knew he couldn't sleep alone and if Kakashi was offering to share his bed then why should he say no. Sasuke got up off the stool to follow Kakashi down the hall. Once in Kakashi's bedroom Sasuke saw that Kakashi had his shirt off and was under the covers. Sasuke took off his shirt as well and crawled under the covers on the other side of the bed. Kakashi didn't even give Sasuke two seconds before he pulled him to his chest and wrapped his arms around him. Sasuke cuddled into Kakashi's chest before he spoke.
"What are we doing?"
"We are getting some much needed sleep."
"We can't do this all the time. Eventually we will have to figure out how to sleep alone."
"I know, but for right now I just want to enjoy the company."
"Hn"
Kakashi could tell that Sasuke was already asleep. Kakashi knew that Sasuke had a horrible sleep pattern from being in the Sound. There would be times when he would go two months without sleep if Kakashi wasn't there. It wasn't just a comfort thing it was a safety thing. Sasuke didn't feel safe without Kakashi around and in order for him to sleep he had to feel safe. Kakashi would never complain about sharing his bed with Sasuke, because he preferred to sleep with Sasuke in his arms safe. Kakashi knew eventually he would need to tell Sasuke the truth, but for now he was just going to enjoy this moment.
