Shorter Chapter. But here you go. i'll get on the next one right away.
Over the next few days Yamato continued with his usual routine, going to class, chatting with Iruka and studying for finals. They began in two days; thankfully Yamato only had five exams and would be finished soon. However
Yamato's evenings had changed somewhat, he now spent a considerable amount of time thinking about a certain silvered haired stranger. At night when Iruka was asleep Yamato would twist and crumple the Kakashi's note in his hands, every night slightly wearing away the ink. It didn't matter though Yamato had memorized the numbers.
Just a little over a week later and the note had completely deteriorated, but Yamato's thoughts of Kakashi hadn't. He understood what the man had told him but he was still surprised that he hadn't seen Kakashi at all. On more than one occasion he had thought about calling him. He almost thought the feelings would go away after a while but they just became stronger. Today was his last exam, Plant Biology. He and Iruka sat in their dorm testing each other for about an hour before they had to make their way to the hall where the exams were taking place. However their efforts were pretty useless. Yamato had answered only about 50% of the Questions Iruka asked his correctly. He was just so distracted.
The two men decided it was about time to go, on the schedule they had it stated there was ten minutes left of the English exam and then the Biology exam would start ten minutes after that. On their way down Iruka droned on about how drunk he was going to get that night, and how unfair it was that Anko finished before him. Yamato was still trying to cram in as much information as possible but it was hopeless. They arrived to the large building just as the previous exam was ending. Yamato spied Anko exiting the hall, sighing with relief and high fiving another girl, Iruka ran to her, Yamato trailed behind and said "congrats" to Anko sarcastically. Yamato reached for the door handle and pulled open the door with tremendous ease. That's when Yamato realized why, a man had his back to the door the other side and was pushing it open, as he stepped backwards, he half turned to face Yamato. Their eyes locked for a second, dark pupils glaring down he didn't smile, frown or say anything, he just blinked once slowly and moved on, pushing Yamato's arm out of the way.
"kaka-" Yamato said to himself. Iruka ran up to where Yamato was then and caught the door stepping inside. Yamato knew Kakashi was in Anko's English class and buried in his mind he knew he would be taking that exam today, in fact he had planned out what he wanted to say to Kakashi the next time they met, but he didn't think it would be like this, so instead Yamato just watched Kakashi walk away without a single glance back at him, it felt like an eternity passing until Iruka broke the silence.
"Come on Yamato." He said.
"Coming." Yamato replied and stepped inside with once look backwards to the silver hair vanishing from his sight. Inside it was warmer and the exam proctor Tsunade was waiting for them.
"Line up," she shouted, "stand against the wall, I shall call out your names and when I do come fourth. But first items you may not take into the exam room include…" Yamato drifted off, he had heard this speech plenty of times over the past few days, and he unconsciously moved with the flow, making his way into the hall when Tsunade called his name and taking his seat. Yamato's mind was else ware, focused on Kakashi, when a think wad of paper was placed in front of him. "You have 1 hour and 45 minutes" Yamato snapped back into consciousness, "you may begin, now" shouted Tsunade.
Yamato turned over the first page and glanced at the questions, the first one he knew so quickly filled in the answer, the second was a little harder and he thought about skipping it. He glanced at the clock, only 10 minutes had gone by. Honestly Yamato couldn't bare sitting there for another hour and a half. He sighed and moved onto to question 3. Yamato read it silently to himself, "Over the long-term, weed seed banks of many species…" Yamato's eye's glanced back, "weed seed" he truly couldn't remember a thing about weed seed banks in any of his conversations with Iruka, but the word reminded him of another conversation he had had.
The words "Its only weed, trust me it will make you feel better." Echoed in his head. They were Kakashi's words, from the night they had met. Then he remembered something else the man had said to him "You need to let your inhibitions go." Yamato sat and stared ahead of himself, thinking about Kakashi's words. It took only 30 seconds for Yamato to force himself out of his desk, knocking his paper on the floor, he ran towards to door ignoring the other students looking at him. Tsunade shouted "Hey stop!" but Yamato didn't listen, she came rushing towards the door of the hall also but Yamato sped up and crashed through it before she could stop him. "Come back, Where are you going?" she continued to shout but by now Yamato was outside and sprinting as fast as he could; straight to Kakashi.
