FOUR
So, it has been three weeks since Kakashi's "official" move in, things are going fine and Kakashi is now getting paid almost as Sasuke at Exquisite, thanks to Sasuke himself. Kakashi was now one of the
most popular floor hosts. Sasuke was madly jealous, but at the same time relativly proud of his friend.
"So, guess what?" Kakashi starts at dinner one Wednesday night.
Sasuke sat across from Kakashi, swirling his wine in the glass absent-mindedly. "Whats that?"
"I have another floor on friday."
"Thats good."
"And they told me to find an assistant."
"Who have you been looking at?"
"You."
Sasuke looks at him for a moment, a little dumbfounded. Kakashi wished Sasuke would stop looking at him like that, it always made him a little harder to talk to seriously. "Me?"
"Well sure! I haven't had a floor that was big enough for two people, and I know how much yo would rather be doing what I'm doing."
Sasuke was excited.
"Who better than you, you pratically run the company anyway."
"No I don't, that the CEO's job."
"Oh please Sasuke, who does everyone come to for help, for anything?"
"No they dont." Sauske says giving a little look down to his glass.
Kakashi rolls his eyes and take a sip of his own wine. "Anyway, you are going to help me right?"
Sasuke looks up to him. Kakashi had taken another sip of his wine, Sasuke watched the red liquid dissapear into his thin lips curved gently around the wine glass. For almost a moment Sasuke could see
his thumb run over the man's thin lips, across his thin, sharp cheeks, and down his soft neck onto his toned chest, and yet father down....
Sasuke shook his head looking into his glass with shock, eyes wide.
"Was that a no?" Kakashi had seen the expression on the boy's face and became worried that maybe he should have asked someone else.
Sasuke snaps his head up, "No! I mean-um-well--I mean..." Kakashi raised an eyebrow at him. Sasuke stumbling over his words? This was a side of Sasuke that Kakashi hadn't seen since school... "yes, i
will show the floor with you." Sasuke mentaly was smaking himself over and over. What kind of stupid fool gives such a stupid juble of words to such a simple question.....then again what kind of stupid
fool was he for think of Kakashi like that? He looks to his wine again and sets the glass a little father away on the table, he'd had one too many and it was going to get him in trouble.
Kakashi had to admit that Sasuke was acting kind of weird for the rest of dinner and on through the rest of the night. He lie now in his bed, looking up at a white celing. Sasuke had told him that he could
paint his room any color he wanted, thing is, Kakashi never could paint walls very well; as he had learned his his kitchen of his ex-house. He had decided that his house, his life, and his bitch ex--girlfriend
were well worth finding Sasuke again and being able to live with the kid with worth all that plus some.
Nails hit his door and a moment later and a click of the door knob, pup shy was jumping to to his bed pouring the little light of the nightlight in the hall into his room. Shy had learned to open doors
because of Kakashi, whi had gotten sick of letting the pup out so much.
"Hello pup." He gives the puppy's head a scratch. Shy made himself comfortibal next to him. "What do you think about me staying for a while?" lazyly Shy licked his cheek without lifting his head. "Good.
Do you think Sauke would mind?" Shy leans into his head and Kakahi screatches behind his ear. "I dont think he does either." Petting the pup relaxed him and he fell asleep.
"Good morning Kakashi." Sakura chimed stepping into his office.
"Good morning Sakura."
After dropping a folder onto his desk, she invited herself into one of the chairs infront of his desk as she does. "These are the finalizations of tomorrow night. Sauske is your side right?"
"Yeah."
"Something up?"
"I dont know."
Sakura gave a concering look. "He's not giving you a hard time is he?"
"No, no...nothing like that." Kakashi closes the manilla folder and leans back in his chair. "He's been a bit uneasy this week."
"After you asked him to show with you or before?"
"Before, i only asked him last night."
"You know... he was never quite the same after you two stopped being friends. He became power hungry, that why he is so high up. That's also why Naruto and I work here. He needed somone to cover
his old spots so he gave them to us." Sakura had to tell the man some time. Now seemed like a good time... "He hated you for the first year of school because you stuck him with us, even more when you
wouldn't change our group for him. But the next year, when he had you again, something changed. For a while, i had tried to expose you two, jealous of you. They way he talked about you; like you were
the greatest thing that ever happened to him. I gave up after the first year, just when people started to suspect something was going on with you two. It was all Naurto and I could do to stop the
rumors..."
Sakura pauses for a monent.
Kakashi's mind was flooding with thoughts.
"I think he really needs you in his life." She adds quietly. "Sasuke desn't deserve to be lonely any more." She stands up and gives him a nod and steps out of the bright office, leaving Kakashi to sit in his
thoughts.
