Kisuke laughed loudly as he watched his drunken friends try to climb over the bar. He loved going out, and it was only made better that Kakashi was finally able to come with them. Kisuke cast a playful glance at him. The Copy Ninja had been sneaking booze when no one was looking, and was about as drunk as the rest of them, save for the 2 shots Kisuke had just done. He looked over at the exorcist and grinned at him behind his mask, giving him a wink. Kisuke laughed loudly again. He couldn't remember when he had had so much fun just acting like a stupid 25 year old. It felt good. The added bonus of Iruka being with them just made the evening too unbearably hilarious since he couldn't hold his liquor to save his ever-loving life. Kisuke laughed at his cousin as he fell off of his bar stool. Yup, tonight was a good night. Everyone was happy, everyone was smiling, and this might've just been Kisuke, but he had a feeling NO one was going home alone tonight. Really, only one thing mildly irritated the hell-bent shinobi.
There wasn't any music playing.
Now granted, this was their favorite bar, and they weren't about to leave just because if it, but that was one of their favorite things about the place! More than once someone would ask the entire bar why it was so quiet, getting a drunken agreement of some sort. Kisuke hadn't been part of that, but he had nodded in agreement a few times. The bar tender, the good man, would always simply apologize and say they would get a new radio as soon as the crowd cleared out. Kisuke smiled at him as he passed him another drink. He really was a nice man, and brave, too; not many would have the patience he has to deal with a bunch of rowdy jonin.
"Dammit all,'s too damned quiet!" Genma roared for the 7th time, getting a laugh from Raido and Kakashi.
"An' how're we gonna fix that, Gen?" Raido asked, lacing an arm around his waist with a chuckle. Genma frowned and shrugged, sitting back down.
"Gentlemen, I have a solu- a solution!" Anko hollered loudly, drawing all eyes to her.
"Someone has to go sing!" That got a round of loud, drunken laughter from the shinobi. Kisuke could imagine some of them up trying to come up with a coherent sense of a beat, let alone actually singing.
"How 'bout Kisuke-kun!" The exorcist choked on his drink. What? No way in hell! As if he read his mind, Kakashi wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him close.
"You don't gotta if you don't wanna," He half whispered into Kisuke's ear. Kisuke blushed, glancing shyly at the other man.
"Yeah, Suke-kun! You can do it!" Iruka cried, getting a great response from the rest of the bar. They dragged Kisuke to his feet, almost making him face plant into the floor.
"HELL no! I'm smashed!" Kisuke whined as they pulled him over to a little stage like thing. Someone handed him a guitar.
"I play piano, not guitar?" He tried weakly, holding it out in front of himself.
"Bull crap, Suke-kun! You can play both!" Iruka shouted, pointing an accusing finger at him. Kisuke smacked himself in the face; he forgot Iruka lived with him. He looked around the bar, trying to find some way out of this. His eyes landed on Kakashi, who was still trying to comprehend who took his Kisuke away from him. It was cute. Kisuke smiled, an idea coming to mind. He dragged a chair over so he would fall on the floor. He strummed a few times, tuning the instrument, and then quietly began strumming, tapping his foot quiet soberly.
"Wandering the streets, in a world underneath it all," He began, a small smile playing at his lips.
"Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you." He glanced up. All eyes were trained on him, but the set he was looking for was looking right back at him. His smile got shy, and he looked back down bashfully.
"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will." He slowed down and made his strums softer.
"Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head," There were a few soft laughs, and Kisuke distinctly heard Kakashi.
"Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall."
"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will…" He picked up the beat.
"If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood, I would," He smiled at that thought.
"Shout out your name so it echoes in every room, I would."
"That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do,
To get through to you, yeah."
"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water," Kisuke gathered a bit of that confidence and looked right at Kakashi and sang to him.
"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will…"
A hush fell over the bar as Kisuke drew to a short close. He smiled a signature sideways, shy smile and laughed nervously.
"Wow, was I really that bad?" The room erupted in laughter and applause, making him relax a little bit. He put the guitar down and waded through the drunkards, sliding back into his seat. He looked at Kakashi shyly. He could tell he was grinning like an idiot behind that damned mask.
"Did you like it?" Kisuke asked quietly.
Kakashi stood up and dragged him outside, surprising and confusing the poor musician. He took him to a dark, secluded spot before pulling his mask down. Kisuke was right, he was grinning like a bloody fool. He grabbed Kisuke by the waist and kissed him long and hard. Kisuke blinked when they parted, an adorable blush crossing his confused face. Kakashi was still smiling, but it was much gentler than the excited one they left with. He rested his forehead on the orange haired man's, closing his eyes.
"Never ask me that again." He said with a little laugh. Kisuke frowned.
"Ask you what..?" Kakashi laughed again, opening his eyes.
"I don't 'like' anything you do." He kissed Kisuke before he could protest. He looked deep into Kisuke dark eyes, the same gentle smile on his face.
"I LOVE everything you do."
AWW! Wasn't that just a horrible line? I think so, but my imagination is still trying to catch up on sleep! Sorry!
By the way, did anyone catch how I made Genma and Raido *ahem* GAY? I hope you did, and if you didn't, well, now you know!
Please R&R! be the first and get a chapter dedicated to you!
Deuces!
