A look into one of many affectionate moments that happen in CP when no one is looking. Spoiler for events post-chapter 49 in Civilian Pianist, and I also recommend looking away if you're averse to detailed descriptions of kissing and romance.

…I blame the recent emotional stress that came from helping a friend through relationship troubles, a looooong HIV/AIDS documentary I had to watch for a class, and the current lack of seeing my real boyfriend for my writing this.

Mentioning WingBladeWeaver1357 here because Wing-chan, it's thanks to you that I finished this small drabble thingie. You encouraged me and I'm grateful. It was good stress relief. Originally posted on Tumblr, now it's here in Small Sparkles

Please enjoy.

Sparkle 36: Behind Closed Doors

It's only recently that Kakashi's made a habit of taking up my break times at work. It wasn't really that much in terms of time "wasted," considering we were still living together and he could do that, but it definitely garnered some strange looks. Papa's most certainly.

Maybe that was why my room was starting to become a spot for him to whisk me away.

"Nn…"

The feeling of Kakashi kissing me is still something I'm getting used to. He always does it gently, like I'm a doll he just can't break. But when he gets desperate, when he gets passionate, his fangs lightly graze my lips. But as time went on, I found myself not minding. It merely reminded me he's still here. That he wasn't dead.

There was a soft pop as Kakashi pulled away just slightly, and even without opening my eyes, I knew he had a soft smile on his lips. And that his mouth was wet. "Do you need to go back to work yet?"

I shyly glanced up at him, resisting the urge to bite the inside of my cheek. Some of his hair was sticking to his hitai-ite, and I couldn't reach up to brush it away with how he was plain distracting me. And that he was squishing my arms in our current hug. "N-Not yet. Breaks can be up to an hour, according to Mama."

Kakashi smiled as his right hand pressed against the small of my waist, his other hand pinning me to the wall. "I'll have to thank Aunt Hikari for that later then," was the following whisper. His mouth was only a centimeter away from mine. "It gives me more time to be with you."

Then he was kissing me again, and I instinctively closed my eyes. "Mm… you're a dork. You're gonna be… nn, late." His tongue gently darted into my mouth and I tried not to squeak, the words barely coherent in my throat. "You're just avoiding the subject!"

Kakashi, whether in retaliation or teasing, pulled away for a mere moment before swooping back in to kiss me again. "No, I'm not," was the brief response, and he pecked my lips softly. "I'm just taking my time. Obito and Rin can wait a bit longer. Besides, the missions are getting heavier, so I don't have as much time to be with you."

"Y-You're still going to see me at home…" I weakly pushed at his shoulders, my breathing shaky from my heart beating so hard. "I'm not going anywhere."

"That's a relief, but that's not the point." Kakashi kissed me again, a bit harder to the point of it not being a peck anymore. My stomach was flipping over now. "I just want to spend this with you." His fang gently grazed my bottom lip, prompting a soft squeal I didn't know I could make. "Or do you want to stop?" Kakashi gave me a bit of distance, and I didn't need to have my eyes open to know he was observing me. "You're looking flushed."

I pushed at his shoulders again, a bit weaker. "Muuuu, I-I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm just… I'm just embarrassed, okay?" The heat on my face was anything but the nearby summer sun.

Kakashi snickered, bumping foreheads with me soon after. "Because it's me?"

"Because it's you," I grudgingly admitted. How open was I? "You're a dork. How are you Jounin?"

Kakashi gave me a small Eskimo kiss and I jolted. It tickled, even though it was just our noses. "You know full well why that is, don't you?" His mouth gently brushed my ear, a sensation that caused a shiver to climb up my spine. "And you're strong in your own way too, Tomoko."

Once his fang grazed my lip again before the final swoop in, I couldn't help but absently think, You give me too much credit, Kakashi.

Naaaaah.

I'll pretend that the camera you're holding isn't there.

Hehehehe, thank you, honey.

"Dork," was the quiet word caught up in the kiss.

"I'm your dork."

"Muuu."

He ended up being late to his team meeting by a minute. And I couldn't help but absently wonder if I would end up being the cause of him being like his Canon self in terms of lateness. It was a different Kakashi, but still…

Perhaps it was time to get a timer. Or be better at speaking up, even in kissing, dammit.

THIS WAS SO CUTE!

To you, Hisako, to you.

I don't see you denying that the kisses felt good.

…Don't rub it in.

Hehe.
