Mid-Mourning Nicotine
Asuma x Kakashi x Iruka.
Asuma started smoking at a very early age. Right after the first awry mission. It helped calm his nerves and keep his senses alert; helped keep the stress at a bare minimum. He saw no harm in lighting up every now and then.
So when Kakashi came home from a tree week assignment, covered in blood that wasn't his own, and shaking so badly that he nearly collapsed, Asuma offered him a cigarette.
Kakashi glared at it with one wary eye, before taking the slender stick between blood-stained fingers. He pulled down his mask, and took three large puffs—before completely choking. He puked, surrounded by smoke, and Asuma only laughed.
Kakashi soon found his own way to relieve post-mission stress after that.
Iruka's porch light shone as a bright beacon in Kakashi's dark dampened spirit, and he knocked on the door only once, before Iruka opened up, immediately taking his weakened body into gentle arms. Iruka's touch was very healing, and the soon-to-be blood soaked bandages were carefully applied.
For Kakashi, Iruka's slender fingers were more addicting than any stick of nicotine.
The title on this one was fun to play with, it has two meanings really.
Thanks for reading. Reviews don't hurt, and I'll post up more sporadically.
You may always request a pairing or activity and I'll try and write for your amusement.
