I don't own Naruto or any of the characters, i just luv them.
Dark clouds huddled over the village trapping what ever heat they had gotten during the long day and threatening to rain but holding out until it was near unbearable. Kakashi closed the window hoping to keep as much heat in as he could as Kushina played with it—Naruto—on the floor. Minato persistently tried to get it to come near him and realize he was okay, but whenever he got within a few feet from it it would get up and move to the other side of Kushina or Kakashi (whoever was closest).
After a while and no success, Minato gave up sat against the wall watching the lively redhead help stack books like blocks. Kakashi watched as suddenly his teacher seemed to get an idea. Kakashi felt his eyes narrow at that look in his teachers eye the promised a mess and likely a multitude of broken objects.
"Hey, Naru" the scheming blond called, " Do you want to see something cool?" Minato held out his hand and started to gather chakra in his palm. The chakra spun rapidly until Minato deemed it to big (and dangerous) for the small apartment and released it slowly knocking several pictures off the wall. Kakashi felt his eye twitch as his suspicions were confirmed then he left to get a broom to clean up yet more glass from broken frames, muttering darkly.
Naruto, on the other hand, watched in fascination as the vortex released into the air. Kakashi glanced up to see it cautiously walk over to Minato and inspect his hand. Both adults laughed as Naruto looked under Minato's hand and turned it ever which way trying to find how he did it. Slowly, Minato pulled Naruto over—still looking at his hand—into his lap. Both adults grinned as the toddler made himself comfortable.
Still holding onto Minato's hand Naruto held out his other hand palm up with a look of determination. For a few minutes Kakashi and Kushina watched Naruto stare intently at his own hand glancing at Minato's hand every few moments as if he could repeat the technique. Kushina couldn't help it, she laughed. Even Kakashi felt the sides of his mouth rise a little.
Grinning, Minato gathered a tiny amount of chakra in his hand so Naruto could feel it. They all laughed (Kakashi didn't snort in amusement it was a snort of superiority! The it was pathetic!) as Naruto immediately grabbed Minato's hand with both of his and excitedly flipped it every which way trying to figure it out. His search only hindered by a large yawn.
Still laughing Kushina stood to retrieve a book she and Kakashi had gotten earlier on the way home and then she sat next to Minato and handed him the book. A short kiss in gratitude later and Minato opened the book in front of Naruto and began to read. Kakashi was surprised to find that Naruto was enthralled and seemed to listen attentively to every word, often pointing at the pictures and making happy noises.
As the story progressed Naruto sunk further into Minato with his eyes drooping slowly. Giggling softly, Kushina took the unfinished book from Minato and gestured to the mat that Kakashi had set up on the floor.
Kakashi sat back and looked on as his teacher and his teacher's girlfriend tucked in the toddler as if they were a real family. He wasn't jealous, really. He was fine on his own. ...but he wondered what it felt like, to have parents to cuddle with and read a story with and to tuck you in... His father wasn't much for sentimental stuff, but he did have the dogs. The dogs always crowded his bed (nearly pushing him off sometimes) and stayed with him. He didn't need affection or a family. He was fine.
But that baby looked so happy when Kushina kissed him and when Minato wrapped the blankets around him snugly.
Kakashi wasn't jealous.
Is Kakashi getting OOC you think? I just think he was a aura of "dont touch me" as a kid that others would obey.
I was going to torture Minato a little longer but he's too smart and lovable for me to be too mean to. Dang.
