Smile [2/100]
Note: I made some modifications to the story. If any of you bothered to read the description, then you'd know what I'm talking about ^.^'
Third P.O.V
"Stop grinning as if you got struck by Benzaiten's* arrow." Obito grumbles, realizing how the edge of Kakashi's eye has been crinkled, like he were smiling. The silver haired male ignores his demand, releasing a sigh as he continued to write his wish on a piece of paper. Today was the Star Festival, and he was going to make his silly daydream a reality.
The irritable Uchiha's negative aura was diminished by the sight of his long-time friend, way before Kakashi came along. Rin wore her usual bright smile, humming a soft tune as she strolled down her psychological trail that led her straight to Obito. "I'm not the only one who seems as if he was lucky to get kissed by a goddess, Obito. Your face is covered in pink."
The raven pats his cheeks, taking notice of how warm they were. "Shut your trap, stupid Kakashi." Chuckling at his crony's weak insult, Kakashi finishes his elegantly written wish on the strip of vellum and the words read;
Gain the affection of Koimura clan's noble (M/n) Koimura.
"My lord, it's time for you to awaken. You've been asleep for quite a while now." (M/n) groggily cracked an eye open, grunting at how bright his sleeping quarter was. "May you draw the first layer of my curtains please? There's much too light in here." The servant nods her head, signalling for the other maid to complete his request. "Up you go." The head servant assists her master in sitting up as he releases a yawn.
"Today, Master Taro has asked us to make you look wonderous." Manami ─ the head maid ─ informs the (h/c) male, who was scratching the crown of his head while looking around his oversized room. "Oh. That's correct, today is the Star Festival. Itachi-sensei is supposed to be accompanying me to lunch." He murmurs, before shoving off his (f/c) comforter, and leaving his warm heaven.
Manami grins gently, pulling out a red silk haori-kimono with black cherry blossoms decorating the edge of each opening and a simple gray hakama. "Right now, Master Itachi is having tea with your father. They are discussing your schedule for today." (M/n)'s eyes widened, before he pouted. "I'm mature. I can plan out my own day." He crossed his arms and glared at the ground, puffing up his cheeks.
The servants giggled softly at their young lord's attitude. Flicking his forehead, Manami smirks playfully at him. "You seem like a child to me. The way you throw a fit at the smallest of things." (M/n)'s face went red. "I-I do not! Quit teasing me! Bully!" The brunette laughs, before calming herself down. A knock on the door interrupts the Koimura's harrassment session as Itachi's voice sounded throughout the room.
"(N/n), are you decent yet?" Manami glances at the younger male, who wore only the first layer of his kimono. "Somewhat. Would you like to finish dressing him, Master Itachi?" From the other side of the door, the raven's face went a soft pink. "Manami! Don't suggest such crude things!" (M/n) wailed, his face erupted in a bloody red. "I don't see why not. I'm coming in."
"What? No! Itachi-sensei I'm only in my underclothes!" Manami and her assistant servant left the room as the Uchiha came in giggling to each other. Raising a brow at the unfamiliar bump hidden underneath the covers, Itachi released a gentle laugh. "Hiding under the sheets will do you no justice." His tone was full of amusement as he grabbed the top layer to (M/n)'s kimono.
The (h/c) noble peeked his head out from the blankets, (e/c) eyes wide and showing underdevelopment. "Don't let Shisui's words bother you. That fool was just trying to make me seem like a bad influence." (M/n) slowly emerged from his cover, the skin on his face still a soft maroon. I don't want Itachi-sensei to see me in such an dishonorable state. I haven't even cleaned my teeth!
"That wasn't so hard now was it?" Itachi smiled gently at his student, beckoning him to come closer. (M/n) watched as his master's deft fingers swiftly fixed his kimono, not a movement wasted. "After lunch, I wanted to take you to the theatre. Then maybe we could watch the fireworks." The taller male murmurs, tying the string to the gray hakama that had the Koimura clan's symbol embroided on it.
"I don't mind. Anything you do is fine with me, Itachi-sensei." (M/n) slipped on his haori-kimono and his setta sandals. "Just 'Itachi' is fine. Call me Sensei when we're training." The raven corrects, holding the Koimura's chin inbetween his thumb and forefinger. Flushing from the contact, (M/n) nods his head. "Yes, Itachi-sen…Itachi." The Uchiha grabs his hand, guiding him out of the room. "Ready to go?"
"Ah! I forgot to brush my teeth!"
Kakashi released a sigh, how did a noble and a commoner even become friends? Well a noble like Sasuke and a commoner like Naruto anyways. "Useless. Your handwriting is so messy, that even Vega and Altair* wouldn't want to read it." Sasuke insults, narrowing his eyebrows at the sight of smeared ink on the paper. "Bastard! It's not about how neat my caligraphy is! It's about the wish, prissy boy!"
"Hn. How can the gods tell what your wish is, if they it's illegible, idiot." The blonde angrily balls his fist, threatening to pour ink all over the noble's kimono. "Hey, Kakashi-sensei? What did you wish for?" Sakura questions curiously, her green eyes wide and eager. At that very moment, Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the sight of his older brother, who was walking alongside his trainee.
Kakashi had also caught on, but not because of Itachi. It was the angelic laugh that put the god Hotei's laughter to shame. "Shisui always comes at imperfect timing! He got himself kicked out of the tea house!" (M/n) chuckles, burying his face in Itachi's arm. A frown marred the silver haired samurai's lips as he observed how intimate they were. "My brother is still trying to woe (N/n) into becoming his." Sasuke grunts.
Completely forgetting her question, Sakura coos about how happy Itachi seemed. "His eyes are so bright they're almost a grey color!" Naruto chuckles at his pink haired friend, who was dead set on shipping (M/n) and Itachi together. A noble and a noble. They would most certainly support it. The Uchiha clan and the Koimura clan both have strong warriors. And if they combine that power, they could rule the world.
Kakashi's crestfallen expression deepens at the thought. However, he made a promise, and he was not about to give up the day he made it. He is Kakashi of the Sharingan Eye [thanks to Obito, who thought he was going to die and carelessly gave it away.] and his love for (M/n) was not one to be trifled with. "Uh, Kakashi-sensei? What's with that creepy look in your eye?" Naruto stares at his teacher warily, pointing a shaky finger.
*"Stop grinning as if you got struck by Benzaiten's arrow." Benzaiten or Benzai-ten is the Japanese love goddess.
* Vega and Altair are the two gods that they're celebrating for. They're the reason for the Star Festival.
