Sakura carefully balanced the stack of documents in her arms as she made her way to the Hokage's office. She had a long list of hospital related items to discuss with her boyfriend. There was a high possibility that he was not going to be happy with her, but it was her responsibility as one of the senior medics at the hospital.

When she reached his office doors, they were closed so she had to struggle and shift the documents over to one arm and knock on the door without dropping anything. After hearing a distant 'come in' she wrestled with the papers once more in order to open the door with full hands, but finally succeeded after the second attempt.

From her view of the Hokage's desk, all she could see was stacks and stacks of papers and scrolls and bush of silver hair peeking up from behind them. Sakura glanced over and saw Shikamaru behind nearly an oppressive and equally tall pile of documents.

"I'm sure you guys don't want more paperwork, but I'm afraid that's all I have for you," she said cheerfully.

Kakashi's head popped up from behind the papers when he heard her voice. He smiled at her, but then his look shifted to a look that begged her to rescue him. She smiled at him as she approached.

"Got a moment for me?" she asked as she moved to stand beside him.

"Save me," he sighed dramatically.

"I'm afraid that's not why I'm here—more paperwork." She quietly giggled when she saw his dreary expression. For having half of his face covered the majority of the time, it sure did surprise her how animated his expressions would get.

As she set down the large collection of files that she had for him, a few of the papers he had been working on, shifted around on his desk.

"What all this?" he asked gloomily. He turned and looked up at her. He carefully reached out and rested a hand on the back of her knee—someplace where Shikamaru couldn't see. Shikamaru had been there when Kakashi had kissed her on the anniversary of the end of the Fourth Shinobi War, but that doesn't mean that he was keen for public displays of affection. He would much rather give her sneaky displays of affection. He gently ran his hand up her thigh a little, enjoying the feel of her warm skin.

Sakura gently swatted at him as she pointed to the top of the pile of papers. "Well I've got a list of Jounin and ANBU who need to be on medical-leave for a variety of injuries and for varying lengths. I also have a list of personnel who need to have their annual physical before they're allowed to take any more missions out of Konoha," she droned on. She handed Kakashi the paperwork for the missed annual physicals.

"Wait, my name is on this list," he said as he pointed to his name.

"Yes it is," she said absentmindedly.

"Can't you just do it from memory?" he teased her.

Shikamaru noisily stood up from his desk as he addressed the pair of them. "I'm going to go get a coffee, I'll be back in half an hour. Please be done by then," he said as he left the main office.

"Wait! You don't have to leave," Sakura called out to Shikamaru, but it was too late, the door was already closing behind him.

"So can you do it?"

"What?"

"The physical. Can you do it from memory?" he asked as his hand continued to rise up the back of her leg.

"No. And I will not be the one doing your physical. It's not allowed for significant others to perform that type of medical exam."

"I'm sure no one will question the legitimacy if you did it, right?" he asked. His voice was starting to take on a slightly needy tone to it.

Sakura sighed, knowing how much he hated the invasion of his privacy. "Fine, here's the deal: I will do you from the waist up so that you don't have to show anyone else your face. And say yes to that, because that's as good as you're going to get."

"If that's as good as it's going to get, then yes," he sighed as he turned once more to the mountain of paperwork.

He spent a moment, flipping through the documents that Sakura brought for him. He nodded his head after a moment, indicating that everything seemed to be in order.

Sakura straightened and started to head towards the doors of his office. "Okay, well if there's nothing else then—"

"Wait, you forgot something," came his voice behind the papers.

"Oh?" she questioned. She moved to stand beside him and looked down at the documents still in his hand. "What did I forget? It all seems to be in order." Her eyes scoured the documents, looking for what she missed, however she couldn't see anything.

"Sakura, up here," he teased.

When she looked up she saw that he had one finger hanging off the corner of his mask, pulling it down just enough to bare some of his cheek. His one finger tapped his cheek a few times, waiting expectantly for something.

"I thought that you were supposed to be teaching me these kisses, and not the other way around," she challenged him.

"I'm sure you can handle this one," he teased back at her.

Sakura hummed in response and bent down to his level and placed her lips against his smooth cheek. She could tell that he had obviously shaved not that morning since there wasn't any hint of a stubble.

"Goodbye Kakashi, I hope you have a good day," she murmured against his cheek. "Don't forget to get up and stretch and eat. You don't want those old bones seizing up." She winked at him as she turned and left his office.

"Brat," he called out after her.

Sighing, he continued to sort through the new pile of documents on his desk, knowing that he was likely going to be here all night.
