When Sasuke ran from his study, Kakashi just closed his eyes and heaved a soul weary sigh. When he opened his eyes again he found Dr Tamura watching him, amusement in his eyes and a small smile on his face. It was in that moment that Kakashi knew the doctor wasn't done with Sasuke yet, and Kakashi was relieved. When the older man got up and followed after Sasuke a few moments later without saying a word Kakashi nodded and stretched himself out on the couch, waiting and hoping. As time passed and he heard nothing from either man, Kakashi knew that Dr Tamura had managed to breach at least some of Sasuke's walls. When Ms Mimi arrived at his open study door with lunch, Kakashi smiled absently at the woman in thanks, and though he ate the food, he didn't taste it and couldn't remember later what it was he'd eaten.

After an hour of waiting, Kakashi began to pace his study, finding it difficult to sit still and not think, and thinking only made him more agitated. After making several circuits around his desk, Kakashi dropped down in the chair behind the desk and switched his computer on. Closing his eyes for a moment, Kakashi draws a deep breath to settle his racing thoughts. Opening his eyes, he pulls open his music folder meaning to find specific songs to set up a playlist. Hand hovering over the mouse, Kakashi frowns, then gives his head a small shake and leans back in the chair again. Shaking his head again, he reaches out and closes the music folder then turns and slides his MP3 player into its dock and turns it on, letting his music shuffle as it would. He wasn't hearing any of the music, but the sound settled his tumbling thoughts. Moving around the desk, Kakashi went back to the couch and stretched himself out, hands clasped behind his head.

When he hears the door to his study open, Kakashi doesn't open his eyes, just lays there waiting. When his music stops, he feels a smile slide across his face, but still he doesn't move. Listening in the sudden silence, Kakashi hears his MP3 player slid from the dock and then the unmistakable click of another one taking its place. Hearing Sasuke move across the room to stand next to the couch, Kakashi finally opens his eyes to look at the younger man. Seeing how drained Sasuke looked made Kakashi sit up quickly and draw the younger male down onto the couch next to him, sliding his arms around him. Taking a closer look, Kakashi can see the red rimming Sasuke's eyes and he sighs, drawing Sasuke into a hug.

"You ok, Sasuke?"

"Probably better than I've been most of my life. I'm going to set up an appointment with him next week. I think it's past time I dealt with everything. There's so much I need to do."

Kakashi nods and starts to speak, but stops when Sasuke draws himself out of Kakashi's arms and stands up. Frowning, Kakashi looks up into the red rimmed black eyes, then pushes to his feet to stand in front of the younger male. "Sasuke?"

Sasuke shakes his head and smiles. Though Kakashi tries not to notice the sadness around the edges, he feels his heart clench at the sight of that smile. "There's so much I need to do. The first is to keep a promise I made so long ago."

Frowning, Kakashi looks at Sasuke, watching the look on his face slowly change to a much happier one. "What promise?"

Rather than answer the question, Sasuke moves across the room and stops at his MP3 player, now plugged in to Kakashi's MP3 dock. He reaches out and turns it on as he speaks. "I promised that we'd finish our dance, but we never did. I've been too busy running. I wasn't just running to help Naruto, I was running from you because I was scared of what was happening, or what I stupidly thought was going to happen. At the same time I wanted desperately to hold on. It's no wonder I'm half crazy with all of these contradictions inside of me." Pausing, Sasuke glances back over his shoulder and gives Kakashi a lopsided smile that makes his heart skip a beat. "Anyway, while you were gone looking for Naruto I went onto your computer for some music, which I'm sure you know. What I don't know is whether or not you noticed the song I bought. I left it on your computer even after I transfered it to my MP3 player."

Kakashi nods even though Sasuke was no longer looking at him. "I noticed it."

Taking a deep breath, making his shoulder rise and fall, Sasuke reaches out and presses the play button on his player, then moves back across the room and slips into Kakashi's arms again. As they begin to move with the music, Sasuke tilts his head back and looks into Kakashi's eyes, singing along with the song. The frank emotion in his eyes makes Kakashi's breath catch in his throat and his heart skip several beats. Tightening his arms around the smaller man, Kakashi leans down and presses his forehead to Sasuke's, listening to the sound of his voice as they moved. About halfway through the song, Kakashi lifts his head and opens his eyes again, looking down at Sasuke as he picks up the lyrics and begins to sing. "You led me here, then I watched you disappear. You left this emptiness inside and I can't turn back time. No! Stay! Nothing compares to you, nothing compares to you. I can't let you go. Can't let you go. I can't let go!"

Feeling a single tear roll down his cheek, Kakashi closes his eyes for a moment, but his singing never stops. When he opens his eyes again, he sees the tear to match his sliding down Sasuke's cheek. Leaning close, Kakashi stops with his lips only a breath away from Sasuke's so that he sings the last line against Sasuke's lips. They both stop moving when the song ends, but don't pull away. Kakashi closes his eyes and takes that breath, pressing his lips to Sasuke's. The kiss is tender, the faintest caress of lips, yet it leaves both men breathless when Kakashi pulls back, looking down at Sasuke.

"You know the song."

Kakashi smiles and shakes his head. "I looked up the lyrics online when I saw the new addition. I hadn't listened to it until now. I just had a feeling I should wait, because it was clear there was a pretty obvious reason you picked that song to buy. How did you find it anyway?"

Sasuke frowns and shakes his head. "I'm not sure. I came to get a song off your computer and I just decided I needed the right song for me and you. I needed something to make up for all the mistakes I'd made. I liked the other songs you've played for me by Red, so I started with them. I found the song and I knew it was the right one. It's all still a blur really."

Kakashi smiles and nods. Stepping away from Sasuke, he moves across the room and turns the boy's MP3 player off, then leans over his desk, flipping his computer back on and opening his music folder once again. He finds the song he wants immediately and sets it to play. Turning back to face Sasuke, he leans back against his desk and watching the younger male closely as he begins to sing, a small smile playing around the corners of his mouth. "Take me as I am, put your hand in mine now and forever. Darling here I stand, stand before you now, deep inside I always knew. It was you, you and me, two hearts drawn together bound by destiny."

At the look of surprised pleasure on Sasuke's face, Kakashi's breath catches in his throat again and he finds he can't sing any longer. Moving quickly across the short distance that separated them, Kakashi drew Sasuke back into his arms, holding him tightly. When Sasuke's arms slid around him, Kakashi began to move them slowly dancing once again as they both reveled in the joy of just being close at last. It wasn't about the dancing, it was about being in love and being together. When the song ends, they stop moving, but Kakashi just holds Sasuke tighter, unwilling to let him go. When Sasuke speaks, Kakashi pulls back just far enough to look down at him.

"I'm ready."

"Ready for what?"

"Ready to let you take care of me. But only if you promise me one thing first."

"And what's that one thing?"

"You have to promise you'll let me take care of you as well."

Laughing with pure joy, his heart bursting with his happiness and his love for Sasuke, Kakashi draws him back tightly against his chest, this hug just short of clinging. "It's a deal. I love you, Sasuke.

"I love you, Kakashi."

Letting go with some reluctance, Kakashi moves over to sit on the couch, drawing Sasuke down into his lap and wrapping his arms tightly around him once again. He was loathe to let their tender moment go, but he knew that life had to go on. Drawing a deep breath, he kisses Sasuke's temple then tilts his head back to look into his eyes. "Have you talked to Naruto yet?"

Sasuke shakes his head. "After I talked with Dr Tamura, I came straight to you. Naruto will come find me when he's ready to talk."

"You're right about that."

Both men jump and look over at the door that they forgot was still open. Seeing Naruto standing in the doorway, Kakashi feels Sasuke stiffen and he tightens his arms around him, trying to soothe the boy's fears silently. "Naruto, it's good to see you up and about again. How are you feeling?"

Naruto turns his gaze from Sasuke to Kakashi and smiles a bit sheepishly. "Kind of stupid really. I'm sorry I've been so hard to deal with. I'm sorry I put everyone through all this shit. I can't tell you everything, not yet anyway. I want to talk to the police first, but I promise once I've talked to them, I'll tell you everything."

Finding his voice at last, Sasuke asks, "Everything about what?"

"Everything he's hiding from us now."

Sasuke turns and frowns at Kakashi, clearly confused and Kakashi feels a lesson already learned brought that much more clearly to the front for him. "You're too close to Naruto, you don't see him as objectively as I do."

"Kakashi's right. But, we can talk about that later. Right now I wanted to know if anyone wanted to go with me to see Roger, after I have a talk with Sasuke."

Kakashi nods and shifts Sasuke out of his lap, sitting the younger man next to him on the couch. Leaning over, he kisses him lightly, then stands up. "You both talk as long as you like, I'm going to go find Ms Mimi and see if she wants to go. We're going to take the whole family and overrun that hospital."

Smiling at both boys Kakashi walks out of his study to give them their privacy. He pauses in the doorway to put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, giving him a comforting squeeze, then walks past.

AN: At long last, they get to finish their dance. And get another in to boot! ;) This idea was originally supposed to end the story, but it changed too much when Naruto bulled his way into my story and made himself a very big part of the plot. For a while I thought I wasn't going to get to use the idea because I couldn't see how to fit it in the story, but, I found the spot! It's a bit shorter than I'd like, but I got everything that needed to be in this chapter in it, so it's all good.

As for the songs, they are "Never Be The Same" by Red and "Will You Still Love Me" by Chicago. Both awesome and perfect for this scene. This scene was originally thought of a built around the song by Red. The addition of the Chicago song was Kakashi's doing. ;) And it's perfect for me because ever since I started writing fanfics, that song has always been the one song that consistently makes me think of Sasuke and Kakashi. It's the one line... it's so perfect.
Oh, and I'm sorry that I didn't put a warning at the beginning of the chapter about the extreme sappiness. ;) (Awww! So sweet!)
