The moon was brighter than it had been in days. The cool air still blew and the wind carried the laughter of two very childish men.

Naruto was leaning against the cool stone wall of Kakashi's house. He was shaking and holding his stomach which was aching with pain. He was laughing loudly and he wasn't alone. Kakashi was seated on the loose dirt gripping his sides dearly and in tears.

"Oh did you see how fast they were running?!" Naruto managed to say between laughs and breaths.

"Yeah," Kakashi wiped away at a tear. "she was yelling 'stop you stop! That's for the princess!'" Kakashi had another laughing attack just at the reminder of the ladle-wielding lady. The same one who had been guarding those pastries. She was running behind the two of them so fast until he apron got caught on a stove which kept her back.

Naruto slumped down next to Kakashi who was still chuckling at the thought.

"I haven't had so much fun in, well I've just never had that much fun."

"Me neither." Kakashi looked down at Naruto's foot.

Naruto followed his gaze and looked down at his own foot as he said "I lost my shoe in there."

"You did?" Kakashi lifted the small foot and held it in his hand. "Need me to carry you?"

"No, its okay." Naruto stared up at the large moon. "That was great. I hope nobody else saw us."

"Even if they did, no one would recognize us." Kakashi started picking up the spilled produce and supplies and packed them into the small bag they'd stolen. He stood up and held out his hand to pick up Naruto.

"So, now to your dinner." Kakashi pulled Naruto a bit too hard and ended up with the young boy tripping onto his chest. Naruto looked up without moving away.

"You're pretty warm." Naruto smiled and took in Kakashi's smell. It was sweet like lavender.

"Thanks." Kakashi placed an arm around Naruto's shoulder as they began making their way around to the door.

"Hurry get the door." Naruto wiggled impatiently in his one shoe. Kakashi smiled and pushed the door open.

"I'll make the meat first." Kakashi offered.

"I'll make the cake then." Naruto grabbed the bag and ran into the kitchen after leaving his one shoe at the door.

"Do you know how?" Kakashi asked from the door. He locked up and placed his keys and wallet in their place. Naruto didn't hear a single thing and began pulling out bowls and spoons.

Kakashi removed his shoes and walked slowly over to the kitchen where there was just a bit more noise than what was required for baking.

He walked in to find Naruto on the floor covered in flour and with a giant brown unhealthy ball of what should not be called dough in his hands.

"Here put it in now." Naruto handed Kakashi the small thick ball which felt hard and stiff to the touch.

"Umm, have you ever baked before?" Kakashi looked questioningly at the ball.

"No. Why?" Naruto's big blue eyes looked up at Kakashi. He couldn't bare to say anything was wrong with the 'cake'.

"Just wondering." Kakashi placed the thing into a pan and into the oven. He rolled up his sleeves and put on a white clean apron. He started cutting up the vegetables. Naruto spent the rest of the night cleaning up the mess he'd made and asking Kakashi questions from his childhood and his life in the kingdom. Kakashi was never able to ask much because one way or another it always ended up going back to him.

"So, you ever been married?" Naruto rocked back and forth as he asked his questions.

"No, never."

"Have you ever wondered about the princess?"

"Yes. I just want to know who she is and really find out why they've kept her up there."

"Maybe its a guy." Naruto stopped rocking and waited for a reply.

"That's what I said." Kakashi turned around and smiled at Naruto.

"Okay, its ready." Kakashi spoke up before Naruto could continue with the interrogation, that is not to say he minded. He enjoyed listening to Naruto talk even if it was about silly things like the taste of different ramen flavors or the colors of the sky, which he made sure to include in this conversation.

"Great!" Naruto sat up and approached Kakashi from behind. He placed his hand on the small of Kakashi's back and peeked from the side to see what he'd prepared. Kakashi felt tingles running down his spine at the touch of Naruto's hand.

Its okay Kakashi. He is very beautiful. Nothing to worry about.

Naruto's mouth watered at the sight of the soft meat and grilled vegetables. He followed Kakashi to a small table where Kakashi set the plates down.

"Looks good." Naruto picked up a piece of meat and dropped it into his mouth. His eyes swelled up with joy as the flavors hit his mouth.

"I've never had red meat before." Naruto confessed in between bites.

"Never? As in never, ever,ever?" Kakashi looked over at the small boy who didn't seem to be lying.

"Nope. I've had the flavoring in the ramen, but never real red meat." Naruto took another large portion into his tiny mouth.

"That's odd." Naruto looked over at Kakashi.

"Odd?"

"Well, different. I've never met anyone who hasn't tried red meat."

Naruto continued with his meal and small talk until he remembered about his 'cake'.

"I'm stuffed. You still hungry Kakashi?" Naruto leaned back on his chair and patted his small round stomach.

"A bit."

"Good, you can eat the cake then." Kakashi's mouth fell open for a second.

"You wouldn't want that to go to waste now would you?" Naruto's eyes were larger than ever it would seem as he looked over at Kakashi.

Kakashi's eyes instantly shot open. How could he say no to those big, soft eyes that were waiting for his answer?

"Of course." He stood up reluctantly and cleared the table.

Kakashi what have you done? You're still okay. Don't worry.

He leaned and reached for the 'cake' that was in the oven. It was still a murky water brown with specks of something that was not flour. Naruto had added the eggs whole it would seem. Kakashi wasn't too sure what would have made it turn brown, and he didn't want to find out. It had failed to rise and was still doughy in the center he found out after slicing, well more like breaking off a piece. He placed the rest on a plate. Kakashi slowly made his way back to Naruto and set the dishes on the table.

"Go ahead tell me what you think!" Naruto noticed Kakashi's hand was shaking. "Be honest!" He warned excitedly.

"I will." Kakashi placed a small bit in his mouth and crunched through the eggshells and the raw gooey brown parts of the cake. He felt it rise before it settled.

"How is it?" Naruto leaned in close across the table for his answer.

"Great." Mumbled Kakashi as he rubbed his stomach, smiled and nodded.

"Good, let me get some!" Naruto closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Sure." Kakashi removed his mask and kissed the boy. Instantly Naruto's eyes relaxed and his mouth softened to Kakashi's lips.

Worry.

Kakashi stood and wrapped his arms around the blonde. He kissed him only on the lips and didn't dare to go further. While he was kissing him Kakashi made sure to move back and drop the slice of cake along with the larger portion as well. The noise of shattering glass startled Naruto out of the kiss.

"I'm sorry. I guess you won't be able to try it after all." Kakashi said apologetically.

Naruto looked at the floor and all the pieces that laid there.

"That's okay." He looked up at Kakashi and placed his arms around the back of the older man's neck. "I think I liked this better." Naruto closed his eyes and leaned in for another kiss.
