drops in shamelessly after five months with this piece of fluff


θ.2 - say what

~ sometime in the future ~

Sunlight filtered in through the half shuttered window, lazily pooling onto long splayed blonde hair on white sheets. Kakashi watched the way Naruto's hair glistened and the way her chest rose and fell as she slept, simultaneously taking the opportunity to trace patterns on Naruto's back. He stayed silent while Naruto shifted as she blinked into wakefulness, letting out a giggle. Her eyes turned towards Kakashi, and she let out a soft yelp.

"Kakashi!" She squirmed, wriggling against her bed mate's body. "Stop that!" Naruto's voice rasped with the early morning. "It tickles." She whined, looking up at Kakashi with a hint of a pleading.

Kakashi never could resist those eyes. Changing his tracings into massaging, he watched as Naruto arched into the touch now. Naruto moved more like a cat than a fox, managing to stretch with slow, languid, movements, muscles melting into a puddle. Kakashi took pleasure in the quiet hitches of breath which indicated Naruto's pleasure, and when she let out an audible groan Kakashi grinned in satisfaction.

"Now this is not a bad way to wake up," Naruto mumbled into her pillow. Kakashi, chuckled, hands confidently finding other knot to work on. At this point, he knew exactly how hard Naruto liked her massages, and Naruto was currently reaping the benefits.

Soon, Kakashi slipped his nimble hands underneath Naruto's soft cotton shirt, movements becoming slightly more purposeful. Naruto shifted, smirking at Kakashi with half-lidded eyes, a familiar heat pooling into her gut. She reached up, lazily throwing her arms around Kakashi's deliciously broad shoulders. Hands grappling for grip, Naruto pulled Kakashi's shirt off in one smooth mood, pausing to appreciate the view before pulling him back in. Kakashi smirked in anticipation, licking his lips before meeting Naruto's with enthusiasm.

As things quickly got more heated, Naruto paused for a moment, pulling back and murmuring, "do you hear something?"

"Hmm?" Kakashi's mind lagged to catch up.

"Oh, no." Naruto closed her eyes and groaned in response to a quick pattering of steps leading up to their bedroom door.

It burst open with a boom, and a blonde streak of messy hair zoomed across the floor to hop onto the bed with gusto.

"Mama! Papa! It's Sunday! That means we're gonna go hiking with the doggies, right? Right?"

Naruto sat up, quickly giving thanks for having not yet taken her shirt off. "Nami, it's way too early." She ruffled her daughter's hair affectionately. "Where's your brother?"

"Nii-chan's still in bed." Nami sniffed, pouting adorably. "He told me to buzz off."

Naruto smiled in amusement, and glanced over at the large blanket-covered bundle next to her.

"What's Papa doing?" Nami asked curiously.

"He's hiding from the morning."

"That's silly." Nami poked the blanket-covered mass skeptically.

"Well, Papa's silly."

A silver-covered head cautiously peeked out, exaggeratedly pouting.

"Maa, that's just mean. Good morning, my little ball of sunshine."

"Good morning, Papa!" Nami wriggled in amusement.

"Why don't you go wake your brother up, Nami?" Naruto suggested.

"Okay!" Nami half-hopped, half-fell off the bed, rushing away to complete the task. "Nii-chan!"

Naruto laughed and turned to her husband, who groaned with anguish into the pillow.

"Such bad timing," he bemoaned.

"Shush, you big grump." Naruto picked up Kakashi's shirt and threw it at him, whereupon he snatched it out of the air and put it on with an air of discontentment. "Shall we start breakfast?"

Kakashi sighed. "Guess there's not much choice now." As he swung his legs off the side of the bed, he took the chance to bend down and give Naruto one last peck. "We really do need to set up some alone time soon though." He waggled his eyebrows in jest as Naruto giggled.

"I think Sai still owes me a favor," she mused. "We can ask him to watch the kids for a bit."

"Oh no," Kakashi declared as he made his way to the bathroom. "I am not letting Nami near him without adult supervision."

"Hey, Inojin's a good kid, isn't he?"

"I'm gonna credit that to Ino."

Naruto shrugged, stretching out and luxuriating in the last few moments she had before she really needed to get up. Before long, though, she heard her son's voice from down the hall.

"Nami, go away."

"Mama said to wake you up!'

Letting out a sigh (oh, the joys of parenthood), Naruto was there within the literal blink of an eye, casually leaning against the doorframe, lips quirked in amusement.

"C'mon, Kumade, time to wake up."

Kumade rolled over and groaned into his pillow. "Is the sun even out yet?"

"It certainly is," Naruto smirked. "Don't make me ask Papa to sic the dogs on you."

"Did I just hear my name?" Kakashi stuck his head through the door, looking around in mock confusion.

"Alright, I'm up, I'm up!" In his haste, Kumade tangled his legs with his blankets and fell off the side of the bed, dragging his bedding and his pillows with him as he tumbled to the floor. "Ow!"'

Nami let out peals of delight as Naruto and Kakashi just chuckled. Kumade glared at them all before bursting into laughter himself.

"Pancakes!" Naruto declared after the laughter had subsided. "Why don't you two start setting up?"

"Okay!" Nami tugged on her brother's arm, pulling him along. "Let's go Nii-chan!"

Not needing any more encouragement now that the promise of pancakes was on the horizon, he let himself be pulled along with little fuss. "I call dibs on licking the bowl!"

"Aww!"

"Any preferences for toppings?" Naruto asked Kakashi as they slowly began to follow their children to the kitchen.

"Maa, do we have any blackberries?"

"I think we have some in the fridge…"


notes: I have my first final tomorrow lmao which means obviously this is happening for the first time in forever.

when did I get over 200 follows? (crazy. here's your thanks.)

on names: Kumade means bamboo rake, which is a symbol of good luck but is also in the same tradition as Kakashi (scarecrow) and Sakumo (probably from sakumotsu, which means produce). Nami means wave, which is in the same tradition as Uzumaki (whirlpool), Naruto (maelstrom), Minato (harbor), and, well, Namikaze (which I didn't realize until I wrote this out lol. it means wave+wind).

the alliteration (Kumade/Kakashi; Nami/Naruto) was actually completely coincidental.
