Alright people, second chapter but no smex just yet. A little fluff and some confusing feelings. *sigh* Ok, onward! *heroic pose*


The two carried on casual conversation for the duration of the walk to Naruto's apartment. Kakashi once again questioned himself as they reached the door of the teen's building and felt slight disappointment that their time together ended so soon. Unsure of his sanity, he said a quick goodbye and turned to leave.

"Don't you want to come in for some tea?" an excited and somewhat pleading voice called after him. Before he could think things through, the jounin was sitting on a beat down blue love seat, taking in the scenery of Naruto's living room. Gazing at an extensive collection of instant ramen containers covering most of the free surfaces in the small room, he cursed his stupidity. With all of these crazy thoughts I've been having today, putting myself in a one on one situation with the very person I'm confused about wasn't a very wise decision. Kakashi unconsciously tensed a little. Naruto walked in the room holding two steaming mugs of tea, handing one to his sensei before sitting down cross-legged on the floor facing the man.

They sat in silence for the first time that evening while Kakashi pointedly avoided eye contact with the blond. After what seemed like an eternity to the nervous man, Naruto asked softly, almost inaudibly "Are you sure you're ok sensei? You're acting kind of strange tonight. If you need to leave, you can." Kakashi ripped his forced stare away from the jumbled bookshelf in the corner of the room and reluctantly let his eyes wander over to the teen, immediately regretting that decision.

The lithe blond was curled into himself while gripping the cup with both hands and blowing silently on his tea, his bottom lip wrapped lightly around the edge of the mug, looking up at the jounin through thick eyelashes and a fringe of blond bangs. Kakashi felt like he was melting inside. He wanted to cry and laugh and hold the teen and run away from him all at the same time. Completely confused by this uncharacteristic wave of emotions, the jounin's mind was a mess.

He shakily got to his feet, Naruto following suit, setting his mug aside and approaching his sensei quickly. Kakashi jumped slightly, taking a step back. Realizing he had hurt the boy's feelings, he apologized while maneuvering his way around him towards the door in a hurry. "I'm sorry Naruto, I'm really not feeling well. I guess I should leave. I don't want you to catch anything." Truthfully the man was concerned with what he might do if he stayed alone in that house with the teen. Luckily, Naruto's general worry prevented him from taking note of the outline a certain hardened body part pressing tautly against the fabric of the jounin's pants.

Kakashi had made his way to the door and opened it completely before the blond caught his arm and began rambling while the man fought to keep his composure. "Before you go, I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciated how much you've helped me, I mean, Iruka's more like a father to me, and you don't feel like a brother or an uncle, but I do still feel close to you and I really will miss…" Naruto's voice trailed off as his eyes broke contact with Kakashi's and his gaze wandered up to a location above his head and stayed there while a look of shock and embarrassment worked its way over his face. Kakashi quirked an eyebrow and followed the teen's gaze up. He gasped slightly when he realized the source of Naruto's strange reaction.

There, directly above their heads, hanging by a festive red ribbon from the top of the doorframe was a large, fresh sprig of mistletoe, almost glowing green in a way that made it look as though the gods themselves were smirking deviously at the man through the bundle of nature. Naruto blushed and gave a nervous chuckle. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. What do I do? This is what I wanted to happen, but now I don't know what to do. Cursing his cowardice, Naruto began weaving what seemed like a convincing lie about how he had put it up because he planned to lure Sakura to his doorstep.

However, before he could utter a single complete word, Kakashi bent down and pressed his lips gently against Naruto's. Shocked, the blonde's eyes widened to the size of saucers and his face burned twenty shades of red. He felt his knees weaken as two cool hands snaked their way over his heated cheeks and into his hair, pulling his mouth firmly against the jounin's. Naruto began to kiss back with his entire body, pressing himself against Kakashi until the two were flush against each other. The kiss escalated as Naruto allowed himself to become drunk with sensation. The man's mind reeled. Oh gods. I didn't expect this kind of reaction. Kakashi moaned quietly and allowed himself a surge of confidence as he forced his tongue into his student's eager mouth, Naruto realizing for the first time the lack of material separating their mouths.

Naruto submitted to the pleasures of his sensei's hot lips, enjoying the spicy taste of his mouth. Kakashi's mind raced I should stop. I need to stop. I must stop. Pull away idiot before you do something you regret. What are you even thinking. This is your student. This is your male student. This is your sixteen year old male student. Naruto whimpered quietly and pressed himself deeper into the man's arms, his hip bone brushing lightly against the jounin's throbbing arousal that had since only become more pronounced and strained against his pants. Oh fuck it. Kakashi sighed before breathing in deeply. As he did and icy cold breeze swept through the door frame, bringing with it a waft of the boy's aroma to his nose. He had never been close enough to his student before to smell him. He had always just assumed he would smell like a mix of ramen and the outdoors, but he was quite surprised. The boy had the light scent of fresh flowers and perfectly ripened fruit. Erotically sweet.

The silver haired man pushed the teen against the doorframe, grinding his pelvis hard into the boy, allowing a growl to escape his throat. The boy moaned, exhaling through his nose, he released a small puff of hot air against the man's cheek, sending a shiver up his spine as pale fingers twisted their way through the delightfully and deliciously soft blond locks. The slim hips of the youth jerked against Kakashi's, revealing a similar hardness stirring under the bright orange fabric. Rubbing their arousals together roughly, the copy nin succeeded in drawing a mewl of satisfaction from his swollen lips at the ecstasy of the friction.

The mixture of sensations clouded the jounin's mind. Having restrained his emotions since his father's suicide and completely cutting himself off from deep relationships since the death of Obito, Kakashi had never let himself touch or be touched like this. His senses were completely overwhelmed. Before he could attempt to back away or restrain himself, Kakashi came forcefully in his pants, shaking all over and bucking his hips into the boy's , releasing the kiss to throw his head back, his features twisted in a almost painful expression, seething in pleasure through his teeth with his eyes shut tightly.

Kakashi choked out Naruto's name and buried his head in the soft, silken flesh of the boy's neck, panting at the strength of the release. The wetness dripping down his thigh brought Kakashi down from his high as his logic finally managed its way back into dominance, making the man realize exactly what he had just done. He released the boy quickly and stepped back, embarrassed not only that he had cum so easily, but that he had done such improper and illegal things. Naruto braced himself against the door frame looking up at his sensei, slightly surprised, but thoroughly aroused, eyes narrowed and filled with pure desire. Kakashi could feel himself being mentally stripped and suddenly became very self conscious, noting that he had removed his mask in front of another for the first time since he was six.

He quickly brought a hand up to cover his mouth, blushing so brightly he was sure he was casting a glow. He stepped back farther as Naruto advanced. "I'm sorry Naruto. Merry Christmas and good luck with your trip. Goodbye." The boy looked hurt and confused, mouth hanging open in silence as the jounin flew through hand signs at the speed of light and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Across town, back in his own apartment, Kakashi broke down into a fit of sobbing and hyperventilation until he passed out on the hard wood floor from sheer exhaustion.

Naruto slumped down in the doorway, letting himself to slide to the ground. Catching his breath, he started to cry and laugh at the same time, bordering on hysterical. A good two hours later, he finally picked himself up off the floor, closing the door and falling onto the love seat before falling into a deep and fitful sleep.

Across the street, a certain white haired sennin was sitting on the roof, looking a mix of aroused, amused, and saddened.

~~~~~~~~~Yay! Tildes!~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, a small crowd assembled to see Naruto and Jiraiya off. No one seemed to notice the fakeness of the boy's forced smile or the red rimming his eyes as they wished him well. No one noticed as he looked around a bit desperately through the small sea of faces or the look of utter disappointment and dejection when he finally was ushered away by the older man. No one noticed the longing and heartbroken look in his eyes as Naruto stared back over his shoulder while they waved frantically. No one noticed the pained look on the sennin's face as he put an arm around the boy's shoulder and led him away, and no one, not even Naruto himself noticed the silver haired man sitting in a crumpled heap atop the roof of a nearby house with tears streaming down his face.


Ok, so a little bit more than fluff, and more angsty that I intended, but I couldn't help myself. Sorry. I didn't mean to make Kakashi so OOC, but I at least tried to make him seem surprised by his OCC-ness as well. Yet again, if there are any errors, please feel free to tell me. By the way, in case you haven't noticed, I like really long compound sentences and am a bit of a comma freak. Sorry about that. ^_^

One more thing: sannin, sennin? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? I'm too lazy to look it up myself. If it bothers you that much, please tell me (gently) and I'll change it asap.

Yay, imminent yaoi… maybe… maybe not. Perhaps a little one on none instead *devious laugh* Oh my, dirty dirty. Yes, I am a lecherous perv. Well, we'll see…
