A/N: Thanks to .com for the prompt.
Touching: Cuddling.
It was a rather hard mission for Team Ro, specifically for Tenzou.
When they went on missions like this, he was always used to being back up, a just in case type of thing but this particular one needed his peculiar set of skills to get close to their target. It didn't help that their target was a botanist and had a taste for young men…
Tenzou sighed. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He should be used to assassinating people by now, but there was something about this certain mission that made him feel off. Of course, he always felt bad in a sense but this one… He couldn't put his finger on it.
After they went back to the village to give their report to the Sandaime, the sun long gone for the day, he and his team split up and went their separate ways. Tenzou went through his mental checklist as he made his way to his tiny apartment. Before he did anything, he tried to take a calming shower, but the thoughts of the previous mission kept plaguing him. Once he left the small bathroom, he made his way around the tiny room to water his plants. Sighing heavily, he sat his tiny watering pot in its normal space before turning around to see someone in his bed. On alert, he grabbed a hidden kunai and threw it at the lump just for the lump to catch the weapon lazily.
"Do you always try to harm your guests?" the lump asked tiredly as it threw the kunai into the wooden wall beside the bed.
Tenzou felt himself relax, realizing who it was.
"Senpai, you don't need to come over after every mission, you know."
Kakashi pulled the blanket he was under down to his waist, showing that he was shirtless underneath, with his mask on of course. The sight made Tenzou blush lightly, but he kept his gaze on his new guest.
"Maa, Tenzou. I simply thought you needed the company. You looked a little… stressed after that last mission. I thought it was a good idea to check up on you."
Tenzou sighed at that, going over to sit on the edge of his rather small bed.
"I'm fine," the brunette said calmly.
"You didn't seem it," Kakashi said through a yawn, moving to make room for his little Kohai.
If it wasn't for the fact that Tenzou was used to these kinds of shenanigans, he would have been angry, but this was a new Kakashi it seemed. Apparently whatever he was doing was working on making the guy better somehow.
"Fine…" He said aloud, taking his shirt off before laying himself in the bed.
Tenzou turned himself to face the wall where the kunai still was. He took a deep breath before he heard rustling on the other side, signaling Kakashi was moving closer to him. Tenzou tensed once he felt an arm across his waist, pulling him closer.
"What are you doing?" The brunette questioned, more than confused.
"Getting comfortable. Is that okay?" Kakashi answered.
"This is how you relax? Going to random houses and lay with people?"
"Yes," his senpai said simply before laying his chin on top of Tenzou's shoulder.
"If you won't talk about it, I'm just going to lay here until you feel better," he reassured Tenzou with a sigh, tickling the man's ear.
Tenzou began to relax finally, he wasn't going to admit that this was helping him. Not to Kakashi of all people. If he did, then Kakashi would take it as permission to come over and do it whenever he wanted.
As much as this was comforting Tenzou, he didn't want to talk about what was bugging him yet, and Kakashi was okay with that for now. The silver haired ANBU knew that talking about something didn't always make anyone feel better, but knowing that someone was close by just in case he wanted to did.
Tenzou turned himself around in Kakashi's arms to look at him, the older man opened an eye to look at him.
"Do you do this to other people on the team?" Tenzou questioned calmly.
"Not really. Only you." Kakashi admitted, closing his eye after he did so.
The thought made the Mokuton user blush. He turned himself back around as he moved himself closer.
"You know you don't have to, right?" Tenzou tried to remind Kakashi, who just groaned.
"But I did. I couldn't leave my little kohai to his thoughts by himself."
Tenzou smiled lightly at that, feeling worth something for once.
"Thank you," He whispered, knowing Kakashi would have heard it. He finally closed his eyes for the night, feeling the most comfortable he's been all day.
A/N: I really don't have much to say right now. Either way, thanks for reading!
