WARNING: HURT, COMFORT & SOME YAOI AHEAD!
Chapter 21 - Familiarity
"Yamato…" Kakashi breathed and lowered his eyes, he had no choice, protocol was protocol and he couldn't pick and choose. Kakashi fisted his hand at his side as he continued "I'm taking you – "
"Kakashi" a warning tone stopped Kakashi in his track as clicking heels approached them. "Sakura heal Yamato and then Kakashi take him home" Tsunade said as she examined Yasahiro to question Shizune. She ran some chakra through his small frail body and Yasahiro awoke with alarm thrashing his arms out. The three men were at his side in an instance; Kakashi holding down Yasahiro whilst Iruka reached for one of his pale hands and Yamato the other as they all murmured words of comfort. Tsunade stepped back with a small hidden smile as the three men assured the boy he was safe.
Yasahiro's eyes were wide and frightened, his whole body hurt, he then heard familiar voices but it couldn't be. The last thing he remembered was being injected with something and then chased as someone wrapped their arms around him protecting him. He didn't know his masked rescuer, he watched frightened as they were surrounded and then he heard himself scream as he saw a familiar shade of dark onyx hair. Yasahiro screamed out again and found himself wrapped in the same arms that held him as they run. He again heard the soft murmurs of familiar voices which he found calming and sobbed into the man's familiar chest. He lifted his head finally blinking to clear the mist and looked at his surroundings. He stilled at what he saw; a tired looking Yamato dressed in a uniform he didn't recognise looking down at him, a teary Iruka at his side running his fingers through Yasahiro's brown hair and Kakashi with a strange expression he couldn't make out rubbing soft circles in his back. Over Iruka's shoulder stood a worried Sakura as well as Shizune and Tsunade both with schooled expressions to show no emotion. Yasahiro couldn't believe it, he had to be dreaming or in a Genjutsu but he felt Iruka's soft hands brush the hair out his eyes and he just stared at him listening to the words "It's Ok Hiro, your safe darling, we've got you" Iruka repeated.
"Yama San" Yasahiro whispered not believing his sight, if it was real, then it was Yamato, Yamato who came after him, who saved him from the clutches of the evil men. Yasahiro felt himself being held tighter as Yamato whispered "your home Hiro, everything's OK".
-oOo-
Yasahiro sat still in Yamato's lap his body still aching whilst Shizune checked him over. "His dehydrated and lacking a few nutrients, I'll watch over him for a few more hours than you can take him home" he heard Shizune say. Hiro, he heard his name being called he looked up into familiar dark eyes "are you hungry darling?" Iruka asked. Brat, he heard Tsunade Sama's tone "take Yamato home, Iruka can stay with Hiro while we monitor him. They'll be home soon". Yasahiro heard muttering above his head of disagreement before he felt a familiar angry chakra and he found himself in Iruka's comforting arms being rocked to sleep.

Kakashi silently lead Yamato back to their home where Yamato headed for the bathroom. He stripped out of his things quick and efficiently and set the shower to hot. He scrubbed at his skin till it was raw and all he felt was the stinging of the hot water against his pale skin. The impact of what he had done hit him as he saw the blood and dirt swirl around the plug hole and he found himself pounding his fists against the tiled walls. He gritted his teeth in frustration and rested his forehead against the cool wall.
Kakashi entered the bathroom with clean clothes for him and folded Yamato's ANBU uniform into a bag to be destroyed. Kakashi leaned against the counter and waited for Yamato to make a move. He was currently resting his head against the far wall his back to Kakashi as he let the water pound away. He felt eyes on him and knew Kakashi was cataloguing any new injuries on Yamato's back.
"Kashi" he called out softly hating himself for being so weak "I'm here Yama" Kakashi replied undressing promptly not waiting any further for an invitation. He entered the shower and leaned against the wall "I'm here" he repeated resting a hand on Yamato's shoulder again letting him be the one to make the first move, to gain some control back. Yamato let out a sigh and then Kakashi found his arms full, he breathed in the earthly smell of his lover and soap and held him tight "I'm here" he whispered again. Kakashi felt lips travel from his neck to his jaw and then found his mouth being plundered.
Yamato cupped Kakashi's face and kissed him rough and desperately, thrusting his tongue into Kakashi's mouth and guiding one of Kakashi's hands to the cleft between his cheeks. "Please" he panted against Kakashi's mouth and then sucked on his tongue "I need to feel you" he pinned Kakashi against the shower wall and fell to his knee to bring Kakashi to full hardness. Kakashi pulled Yamato to his feet when it got too much and pulled him into a kiss before turning the tables hitching Yamato's leg on his waist. He stopped panting and locked eyes with Yamato.
Yamato too was panting and threaded his fingers through Kakashi's silver locks pulling him into a deep rough kiss. Kakashi closed his eyes savouring the feel of Yamato's normally gentle fingers through his hair and the plump lips against his mouth. He run his tongue along Yamato's bottom lip and felt his lover's one explore his mouth again before pulling back "Kashi, will you…" Yamato muttered uncertainly his eyes blown with fear and lust "will you…please" he said lowering his eyes away from Kakashi. Kakashi knew what Yamato was asking without him actually saying it but he needed to be sure. This was the best way to deal with a shutdown but Kakashi needed to be sure he was wanted. He raised Yamato's head up and kissed him softly "Yama" he asked again trailing kisses from his mouth along his jaw and placed a kissed on his forehead before slowly preparing his lover when he got a nod. Yamato was becoming inpatient and whined thrusting himself down on Kakashi's fingers repeatedly.
"Kashi, please, I can take it" he pulled Kakashi's fingers out, turned and braced the wall. With Yamato so wanton, Kakashi couldn't wait any more, he levelled up and began to thrust in slowly. But Yamato had other plans and pushed back on Kakashi taking him all at once and eliciting a pained gasp from both of them.
Yamato needed a foot hold, to know he was safe and back home; he needed to feel his lover. Kakashi was breathing heavily, Yamato was tight, if he wasn't careful he could hurt his lover. He gripped his waist tightly to stop him from thrusting back but Yamato was having none of it and this was what Kakashi had been afraid of. There love life was adventurous but when Kakashi took Yamato, it was always slow with love, affection and care. This time however, they made love desperately and Kakashi felt himself close quickly, he formed a tunnel with his hand for Yamato to thrust into, determined to make this good for Yamato and remind him he was loved. Yamato came with a few quick thrusts into Kakashi's hand with a gasp and tightened around Kakashi's member who came seconds later. Kakashi held Yamato up as they both gasped catching their breath and let the warm water wash away the remains of their joining. He waited for Yamato's breathing to normalise then turned him in his arms and held his lover upright kissing his jaw softly.
Kakashi felt Yamato fist his hands on his lower back as his shoulders trembled. If Kakashi felt droplets splash against his chest that were a different temperature to the droplets from the shower head, he didn't mention it. If he heard a quiet sob being released he didn't hear it. He held on patiently waiting until all the layers that comes with a shutdown peeled away and reality hit. Kakashi changed the shower setting to massage and lowered the temperature to soothe the pain. He run his hand along the length of Yamato's body trying to ease away the tension whilst keeping the brown head tucked below his chin.
-oOo-
After the shower a solemn Yamato had dressed and was now sat on the edge of their bed head in his hands staring into the ground as the sun began to set casting long shadows through the window. "Yamato" Kakashi called out "You should eat you know" he said sitting down beside Yamato and pushing the plate forward "Ma, I'm not a great cook but its sustenance Yama" he sighed and they sat in silence.
"I couldn't stop him" Yamato said brokenly "I hurt them". Kakashi let out a sigh, he had wondered how long it would have taken before Yamato broke. Kakashi edged closer and spread his legs so his thigh touched Yamato's.
"It's not your fault" Kakashi said leaning back on his arms looking up at the shadows dancing across the ceiling. They sat in silence for a few moments longer as Yamato contemplated his mission. "Hiro will want to see you when he gets home" Kakashi didn't expect a response so continued "you should get some sleep". Yamato seemed to notice how tired he was for the first time and sat up taking an inventory of all his aching limbs. He looked back at Kakashi, leaning on his elbows passive as usual and he felt himself finally gain a small foot hold. Kakashi feeling eyes on him turned and offered his lover a small smile and a hand "come on" he said pulling Yamato further up the bed and into his arms. Yamato settled his head on Kakashi's chest and let out a soft sigh. Yamato was restless and there was no way he could sleep, not until he saw Yasahiro and Iruka but his aching body needed him to lie down. Kakashi watched Yamato closely, healing was a long process, Kakashi knew that better than most and the road ahead would be rough. He still had Iruka to deal with as well as Yasahiro's trauma. And how was he to explain this to his daughter? Suddenly Kakashi felt tired but he heard the front door and the familiar chakra signatures.
So glad your enjoying the story Marshmellow. Luff! I promise there'll be plenty of cuddling and kissing as soon as they get through these issues :D
