I don't own naruto!... anyhow these little short stories are just whatever pops up in my mind.


"I'm tired"

"Then go to sleep"

"But... I can't"

"Oh?"

"I can't sleep unless you are... uh ... in bed with me ... too" Naruto said sheepishly blushing while looking at his toes with great interest as he stood next to his lover in the kitchen.

Kakashi stared at his blonde for a bit with an amused look and then back to his missions paper. Damn. And he just started on it too.

"Naruto, I'll be with you soon so do you think you can wait just a bit longer so I can finish this report? I'll join you soon." Kakashi said giving the young man a tired smile.

Naruto blinked and nodded his head in understanding. Then he walked towards the stove turning on the fire for the tea kettle.

"I'll go make some tea then and read some scrolls that Sakura gave me"

"You go do that I'll try to be as quick as I can"

With that, Naruto set down the made tea on the table for the recently assigned anbu captain, gave him a light kiss and walked into their bedroom closing the door quietly. An hour has passed by and Kakashi was still only halfway done. Apparently this was going to take a bit longer than he thought. He sighed and looked at the direction of their shared bedroom. The light was still on and he could hear the movement of rustling scrolls and slight mumbles coming from the blonde. He looked over to the clock infront of him and saw that it was 3 in the morning.

'I guess Iruka is going to have to wait a bit longer for this missions report'

With a smile the silver haired man stretched his limbs and got up from his chair walking towards the bed room. He walked in to find his lover sprawled over their bed with a scroll and couple of books wide open dozing off. Naruto sleepily turned his head around trying to blink the blurriness from his eyes and to fix his attention to Kakashi.

"Are you done?" Naruto asked sleepily before he rolled over to back with his eyes closed. At this point it didn't matter if Kakashi was in bed with him or not. He was tired from trying to stay up and wait.

"No, but it's not like I ever turn in things on time anyways"

The older man lied down on the mattress next to the blonde and started to move the reading material to the floor and table. After the small task was done Kakashi sighed in relief as he started to feel comfortable against the soft mattress and turned his head towards Naruto who was already starting to drift asleep.

"You know, this is going to be a frequent thing now that I have this new job" Kakashi whispered as he moved himself closer wrapping the two of them in blankets. Naruto nodded and wrapped his arm around the other man snuggling his face against the man's chest inhaling his scent.

"It's worth the wait"

It was worth staying up late just to be able to fall asleep feeling safe in your lovers arms. It was comforting.
