DISCLAIMER: In the beginning there was fiction, and the creators of fiction saw their fans and knew that their creation was good, to ensure that their fans were eternally loyal the creators demanded that no fan-inspired stories were created, but the fans could not help themselves and thus was born: FANFICTION!
A/N: finally it's one for all you het lovers out there – I only recently discovered how much I liked this pairing, I hope you do too :3 reviews loved as always!
Mitarashi Anko – October 24th
For other people a birthday is a day when you're allowed to be super happy and overindulge to the max – even if you're an Uchiha – but for Anko it has always been a day to be melancholy, to not have to put on her psycho-Jonin face and to simply sit and stare out at the rest of the world.
Instead of her usual revealing outfit she would wear a standard Konoha uniform and sling her jacket over the top, forgoing only the chunin vest.
She would rise early and make her way out of the east gate, not stopping until she had reached the ocean , found a small boat, rowed it out as far from the shore as she dared and then anchored it securely and laid back to admire the inside of her eyelids.
That was always how it had been.
Until she found Kakashi of course.
Once he was in the picture, there was no solitude, no lonely day sitting in a small boat on storm-tossed seas. Instead there was company. A day in a tiny fishing boat with someone to hold and to love.
Someone who doesn't want her because she's powerful or because she's got a huge chest but because she's Anko and he loves her.
And so the two of them lie; holding each other close as they stare into the autumn sky spotted with fluffy white clouds, and they laugh as salty waves throw themselves into their sanctuary and as clouds burst and they become soaked to the bone.
And Kakashi loves Anko and he only thinks she's more beautiful when she's been crying and trying to hide it beneath the waves and the rain.
And Anko loves Kakashi because he never says anything about why she's crying, never asks if she's okay, simply tells her how beautiful she is and kisses her passionately on the mouth to reinforce his point.
They match each other perfectly in a strange sort of a way, and though neither of them talk about their relationship, everyone understands, and no one interferes when Anko leaves early on the morning of the 24th of October, or when Kakashi follows soon after her.
Because seeing Anko without her metaphorical mask would be like seeing Kakashi without his physical mask, and they save that sight only for each other, and no one interferes because everyone understands.
Anko needs solitude on her day, and Kakashi, somehow gives that to her, and nothing anyone else gives her can match it.
Because they're made for each other
Because they're insane
Because they're in love.
Just because.
OWARI!
