"You cried?" Kakashi shifted forward in his seat to get a better look at Sasuke. Kakashi's scandalised face suggest he wasn't aware that Sasuke cried that night.
Sasuke puffed a breath in irritation. "More like shed a tear." He rolled his eyes at Kakashi's reaction. "I didn't cry because it hurt, okay?" Sasuke looked like he was scolding the older man. "I was happy. Now would you stop it?"
While Kakashi and Sasuke were having a peculiar lover's quarrel, the knocking on the door grew more impatient. "Shiho-san, Yurika-san, is anyone there?" Still more knocking. "I came for the deciphered ransom note."
"Shouldn't we answer that?" Sai pushes the pause button, covers the TV set and hides Naruto's popcorn all at the same time. He looked to Sakura but didn't get an answer. It wasn't hard to guess why she was just staring into empty space. The cause might be the fact that A - Sasuke bottoms, B – Sasuke cries after sex, C – Kakashi is a sex god, D – All of the above.
"What is it now?!" Naruto was outraged that the video stopped playing. "Don't mind him, we should finish this quick." He sprang up and uncovered the TV set again. He had half a mind to think that the videotape was rigged – there was chakra in it that activates whenever someone was watching it. "We don't have time to waste…" Who knows? Maybe Kakashi and Sasuke were already on their way here. Oh my god, when did he become such a genius?
"But it's distracting." Sai looked at the door once again. The doorknob was making noises as the person outside was turning it violently.
Naruto gritted his teeth. Who gave Sai the remote? Damn him for hiding the popcorn too.
"SHIKAMARU YOU BASTARD!" Naruto grabbed the door and slammed it open. Indeed, Konoha's brightest strategist was standing in the doorway, looking confused and affronted. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Naruto looked as irritated as hell. "THEY'RE NOT HERE THE OLD LADY SENT THEM ON A MISSION SOMEWHERE I DON'T KNOW WE'RE HERE TO GUARD THE PLACE WE JUST HAPPENED TO PASS THE HAG'S OFFICE SO ARE YOU GOING TO WATCH THIS WITH US OR NOT?"
All Shikamaru could do was blink at the assault of words. Well, so much for the ransom note. "I'll pass." Shikamaru looked past Naruto and inside the room. Sai was watching them and Sakura was just sitting there stupid. "I got things to do."
Shikamaru was just about to turn around and leave when the door was slammed in his face. He just shook his head and let it slide. Naruto could be so brazen at times. What were they watching anyway?
As if Shikamaru never came, the three of them were back to their usual places as soon as the door closed. Sakura saucer-eyed, Sai taking mental notes and Naruto with his popcorn.
"And Kakashi?" The lady doctor's voice interrupted their small fight. It was the copy nin's turn to express how he felt about their first time.
Their sensei cleared his throat and pried his eyes away from the irritable Sasuke. He turned his face to the camera. "I was surprised." Then he looked at the space between them. "Our bodies fit so perfectly, it was like we were made for each other." Now he looks that their hands, fingers perfectly placed, entwined in each other's.
Sakura let out a small whimper. Sasuke's reaction to Kakashi's answer was just too cute. His irritation lessened and his facial features were morphing to soft, bright, sweet expressions.
Sasuke's cute face –the next step in human evolution.
"Sasuke is really enjoying this, the little freak." Naruto was shaking his head. Just the sight of Sasuke all cutesy had him questioning his own existence. This is wrong.
Just…wrong.
"They just had sex, right?" Sai quizzically looked at Naruto and Sakura. "How you do determine all of that with just se-?" his query was drowned out when the next question was asked.
"What makes you attracted to each other?" The lady doctor asked. "You can name qualities, behaviour, physical attributes..."
"Now that's difficult." Kakashi scratched his head while he thought about it more. "Can I just say I love everything?" He chuckled again, beaming another eye smile to the camera. "If I have to be specific, it's the mystery around him." Kakashi confessed. "Though I can completely see through all his acts, Sasuke still manages to surprise me and I begin to question myself." Kakashi scratches a cheek before continuing. "I feel as though I'm always on the hunt and it keeps me intrigued. I find that part of Sasuke very attractive."
After Kakashi answered, the camera turned to Sasuke but he just stared at it with a face that said Are you fucking kidding me?
"What's wrong with Sasuke?" Sakura worriedly asked, grabbing both Sai and Naruto's arms. Her reactions were the same ones the village aunts have while watching a TV drama with a Cinderella plot.
"Why is he mad?" Sai too couldn't help but ask out loud. Sasuke was staring at something beyond the camera. His eyes were suddenly changing from normal to a one-tomoe sharingan to two-tomoe, then three-tomoe…
"Sasuke?" Kakashi worriedly glanced at his side sensing that something was wrong.
"OOOOOH!" Naruto scooted closer to the TV. "Something's about to go down!" He shoved another handful of popcorn in his mouth, clearly entertained. "He's going to tear the place apart, I feel it!"
In a flash, Kakashi kneels down in front of Sasuke, blocking the camera's view on the boy who was obviously mad about something.
"Did you see what she wrote?" With Kakashi blocking the view, they could only hear Sasuke lecturing Kakashi again. "Why is she writing there that you're not supposed to love me?" Sasuke pointed to the assailant. "That's it isn't it? What's the reason for you to love a murderer, huh Kakashi? What could a criminal possibly have that might attract a perfect man like you, huh Kakashi?!"
With Kakashi's back against the camera, they could only assume that Kakashi was holding on to Sasuke's hands, trying to soothe his anger.
"Can you stop filming for a moment, please?" Kakashi looks back and asks the lady doctor. He sighs in defeat, turning back to Sasuke when his request was denied. "Sasuke baby, remember why we're doing this?"
Naruto, Sakura and Sai were wondering if Kakashi had kissed Sasuke at that moment. There was a smooching sound and it might be Kakashi kissing Sasuke's hands. Or his face. They couldn't tell.
WHY?! WHY DID KAKASHI HAVE TO BLOCK THE CAMERA?! W…? H…? Y…?!
"You…" Sasuke spoke after he had calmed down a bit. "…want me to live with you here."
"That's right." They could see Kakashi nodding in agreement. "We need to cooperate to convince them, okay?" Kakashi's tone of voice changed from worried to sunny. "We need to be honest because they'll know when we're lying." Kakashi continued when Sasuke wasn't saying anything. "Don't you want to stay here in Konoha with me? For me, Sasuke? Please?"
After a minute of silence, Kakashi sits back down the couch once more. Sasuke was sulking. He had that Whatever, let's just get this over with look. They weren't holding hands anymore but Kakashi now had an arm around Sasuke and was pulling him close.
When the space between them was non-existent, Kakashi leaned in Sasuke's ear and whispered something that made the younger man's face turn beet red.
Then there was a high-pitched scream.
It wasn't coming from the TV though.
