A woman had never driven him to this before. Not once in all his 35 years had he ever felt such emotion towards one person, not even sweet Rin had managed to evoke such feelings in him.

Kakashi writhed on his bed, frantically trying to ignore the aching erection chafing against the thin material of his boxers.

How did she do this to him?

The boxers were gone now, replaced by his hand enclosing around his throbbing length. A throaty moan escaped parted lips as his back arched into the mattress.

What was it about her that made him want to hold her?

He pumped himself hard; legs spread as far apart as they could go, his other hand occupying itself in massaging his balls.

Was it simply a physical attraction?

His hips thrust erratically into his hand, almost desperately. He let out another moan and rolled over so he could muffle the noises he was making into the pillow, hips raised high in the air...

No, it wasn't a simple physical attraction. Physical attractions didn't make you want to protect someone with your life, physical attractions didn't make you wish that you could be near that someone all the time...

"S-Sakura...!" He gasped out her name as he came, spraying his seed all over his hand and onto the sheets before collapsing in exhaustion.

As he lay in a puddle of his own semen, gasping to recover his breath, he finally had an answer to all his questions.

He loved her.

Outside his window, Sakura was blushing more than she had in her entire life. She had felt incredibly dirty as well as guilty listening to her usually stoic ex-sensei sex himself; but she hadn't been able to help it! After all, she'd liked him for some time. Of course she had kept this a tight secret. Fear of rejection and perhaps an end to a nice friendship had kept her very quiet.

But then, in the midst of his passion, he'd said her name...and well, at least she no longer had to wonder. She had a feeling neither of them would be single for much longer.

I thought about ending this just after kakashi's part, but I didn't want to leave it without saying how sakura felt as well, sooo...yeah.
Did this feel like it was too choppy to anyone besides me?
ahem. comments are appreciated.
