Kakashi x Sakura

"You need to stop messing with kids Sakura, you need a man." "Says the "man" who still reads porn."

"You're starting to make me worry Sakura, I think you have a commitment phobia."

An older silver haired man chuckled as he watched the pink haired woman trudge into the examination room.

"Pardon me?" Sakura's eye twitched in annoyance at the teasing old man. Sakura was in no mood to deal with Kakashi Hatake's flirtatious antics.

"I'd know that expression anywhere. That's the 'I just dumped someone and it didn't go smoothly' expression. I should know, I've sported that look quite a few times." Kakashi leaned towards the pink haired winking at her. "So, Shikamaru wasn't as apathetic as you assumed he would be huh?" His one visible eye twinkled with amusement.

"Not quite." Sakura rubbed her temples, her eyes closed.

"So how did it go? He scream? Call you a few names? Break some shit? I have to tell you dear Sakura, I never took Shikamaru as the passionate kind." He didn't look her in the eyes while speaking, instead his eyes were focused on his novel of choice Icha Icha Paradise.

"That's exactly it, he isn't. That's mainly why I broke up with him." Sakura sighed and moved closer to Kakashi who motioned for her to sit next to him on the table. "I mean it was nice at first, Shikarmaru's really smart, cute, witty, and easy going it seemed perfect." Sakura paused, as if lost in thought and Kakashi motioned for her to continue. "Thought it just seemed like he didn't give a shit, like he didn't care about me at all. I know that sounds selfish, because I know he did care about me but I want a guy to at least express feelings towards me." Sakura leaned against Kakashi who patted her head gently. "So I decided to end it and he just tried to persuade me not to and gave this long passionate speech about how we were right together and it just really pissed me off. I mean, now he decides to give a shit?" Sakura growled and closed her eyes.

"That's the shits." Kakashi mumbled into the rosette's pink hair breathing in her scent.

"Yeah well it's over, he's brooding but I said I'd call him later to hash out the final details." Sakura hopped off the table and took a look at the man. "Anyway, enough about my fucked up love life what's going on with you?"

"I just need a physical" Kakashi replied and grinned at the adorable younger doctor. "Tis that time of the year, and I decided to be cared for by favorite doctor of all time."

Sakura gave a sweet smile, "Always the sweet talker Kakashi, alright then disrobe." She brought her her clipboard and began making check marks for the points of the physical. "First thing's first, let's see your weight and height." She gently nudged Kakashi towards the scale.

"Yes ma'am." Kakashi disrobed so he stood in only his boxers. He watched Sakura to see if there was any type of change of expression seeing him shirtless. He knew that he had a good body, years of football and working out at the gym had given him nearly the perfect physique and he was damn proud of it. He watched Sakura's expression remain apathetic at the sight of his body causing his ego to deflate. Nevertheless Kakashi stepped onto the scale and watched Sakura examine his current height and weight.

"You gained weight," Sakura mused causing the retired football player to wince.

"And I think you've shrunk." Sakura started to chuckle and Kakashi leaped off the scale.

"I have not that's bullshit." Kakashi growled in annoyance.

Sakura smiled and rolled her eyes. Teasing him always stopped her from blushing. Staring at the perfection of Kakashi Hatake's chest always posed as a serious distraction. She was used to seeing toned bodies but Kakashi's was beyond toned. He had perfect muscles, arms, a gorgeous head of silver hair, and searing dark eyes.

Kakashi Hatake was basically perfect.

"So how has the single scene been for the past hour and a half?" Kakashi asked cheerfully causing Sakura to wrinkle her nose in annoyance.

"I don't know, how has the single scene been for the past two years?" Sakura shot back, making his shot a tad more painful than it should have been.

"Low blow Ms. Haruno, you know I choose the single life by choice." Kakashi looked down at the young pinkette who looked determined to avoid his eyes. "Anyway it's not like I haven't enjoyed the company of a woman while being single."

"I'm not referring to your hoes Kakashi." Sakura rolled her eyes and began examining his body for injuries. "I'm talking about a real relationship, ever since Shizune dumped you, you became some anti-commitement freak." She touched his chest, arms, and biceps causing him to shiver slightly.

"I mean, is there any girl that has even made you think of settling down?"

Kakashi's eyes widened slightly at the younger woman. She stepped away, filling out her the clipboard in her hand completely unfazed of his intense stare.

'How little she knows' Kakashi thought as he continued to stare at the rosette woman.

Kakashi and Sakura had been friends for years. They met at Christmas party at the hospital after he had been forcibly dragged by his (ex) Shizune who worked as a nurse. Meeting Sakura had changed Kakashi's life tremendoulsy. She was everything he wanted in a wife. She was beautiful, funny, charming, intelligent, likable, loyal, dependable, and had great aspirations. Comparing her to Shizune, well.

There was no competition.

The next couple of months were strained in he and Shizune's relationship for he began comparing every little thing Shizune did to Sakura. Would Sakura wear those shoes? Would Sakura have ordered a burger instead of a salad? Would Sakura fake a headache so they couldn't have sex? Kakashi couldn't get Sakura out of his head.

And Shizune began to notice.

She simply ended it, she said she couldn't be compared to Sakura anymore and she left. Kakashi wanted to be heartbroken, he wanted to feel like he would never love again, he wanted to feel as if his life was meaningless.

He never felt like that though.

So he decided to not go into any serious relationships until he knew for sure he would be over Haruno Sakura. He felt silly. He was basically in love with a girl he had talked to only a handful of times.

No one could compare to her.

"Are you going to put your shirt back on?" Sakura's voice interrupted his daydream and he stared at her through hazed eyes.

"It's mid August, I'm hot." Kakashi complained and began to step towards her.

"The room is air conditioned you baby." Sakura smiled slightly and rolled her viridian green eyes.

"Did you really mean that?" Kakashi asked in a husky voice.

"Did I mean that the room is air conditioned?" Sakura asked, face full of confusion.

"No," Kakashi continued to step towards Sakura. "Did you mean what you said about me being anti-commitement?"

Sakura shrugged, "I don't know, you're kind of like me Kakashi." Sakura leaned against the wall, "You would like to have a strong relationship but in every relationship you just feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar so you end it." Sakura looked the handsome man in the eyes. "There's nothing wrong with it, we just haven't found the right person yet."

Kakashi was holding his breath.

"You keep playing with children Sakura."

Sakura looked at Kakashi, very confused.

"Excuse me?"

"You keep dating all these little boys who don't know what you want, you need a man Sakura." Kakashi very obviously was showing who he was referring to.

Sakura smiled, "Says the "man" who still reads porn."

At this point Kakashi was standing right in front of Sakura, his hand cupping her face gently.

"Stop talking Sakura." Kakashi whispered huskily and crushed his lips to hers. His senses exploded, the taste of cherries flooded his taste buds making him shiver.

Good god he was doomed.
