Slowly...Slowly….No! That's not good enough! Must make it go slower! Last longer!
"Uh, hey, Itachi…I know that you're completely bored out of your mind and all, but eating your last dango crumb by crumb to make it more interesting is not the way to enjoy good food."
Itachi looked up, glaring at the one who had dared to interrupt him in such a manner.
Kakashi.
"Good food? I thought you didn't like dango, Kakashi-san."
"Hey, hey. Don't go getting me confused with that little brother of yours. Sasuke doesn't like sweets in the least. I like them in moderation. Really, Itachi, get your facts straight. Ibiki might think you're slacking if you confuse the two closest people in your life." His visible eye twinkled, laughing at the younger nin.
Itachi glared at his teammate. "Since when have you been one of the two closest people in my life? Just because we are on the same team does not mean we are close. Hell, Kakashi, Ibiki's on our team and you didn't see fit to include him!"
Kakashi grinned. "Oh, he may be on our team, but he's certainly nowhere close to vying for my position as a significant other."
Itachi spluttered. "Significant other? What on earth? We're not in a relationship! You're crazy!"
Kakashi shunshined behind Itachi in an instant and placed his arms around the boy's neck, whispering in his ear. "But we sleep together, don't we?"
Itachi turned bright red and stiffened. "Kakashi-san. We sleep in the same bed because of our missions. If you insist on blowing this out of proportion, I shall have to consider assigning you to the floor and Ibiki can have the other side of the bed. It is a living arrangement, no more and no less."
Kakashi smiled beneath his mask, no less daunted than he was before Itachi had taken on a more threatening tone. "But you wish it was more, don't you, Itachi."
The boy gasped and whirled around, intent on punching the living daylights out of his senpai, only to encounter air.
Kakashi had disappeared on him again.
The blush clear on his face, Itachi stuffed the rest of his dango into his mouth and went over their meeting in his head.
At least I'm not bored anymore.
