Theme: Gift Exchange (Part 2)
This is impossible. Kakashi ruffled the back of his hair and glared at the wall of knick-knacks before him. If he concentrated hard enough, perhaps he could convince the offending objects to spontaneously combust. Then at least he'd have an excuse for not finding anything.
When he'd first drawn Iruka for the secret santa, he'd been elated. What a perfect excuse! But as time went on, he realized that he didn't have the foggiest notion of what to buy him. He rounded the corner and ran head on into the object of his frustration.
Iruka grabbed hold of the nearby rack of magazines to keep from falling over, but only succeeded in knocking the entire stand askew. "Oh, I am so sorry. I should have…" He gathered up the scattered items, looked up and froze. "Kakashi-sensei."
"Here." Kakashi bent down to help. "Doing some last minute shopping?"
"Actually, I..." He rose a tucked a loose lock of hair behind his ear. "I know we're not supposed to reveal it before the party, but I drew you, and I don't have the faintest clue what to get you, so... Can I buy you lunch?"
Kakashi held up a rumpled slip of paper. "Only if you let me return the favor."
Two figures leaned out from behind a magazine rack. Gemma switched the senbon to the other side of his mouth. "You arranged it so they'd pick each other?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Kurenai insisted.
OOOOOOO
Hope you don't mind that I reused themes ^^
