First off, I want to apologize that it took me so long to finish this chapter! Kakashi was giving me trouble so ... I blame him! xD But, I finally finished the second chapter!

Secondly, I want to thank all of those who left me reviews! Your words of encouragement are what have kept me writing! Thank you so much!

Thirdly, I still do not have a beta, so any and all mistakes made are purely my own.

Finally, I do not own Naruto in any way, shape, or form. I do, however, own this plot.

Now off to the story!

During the two weeks leading up to their marriage, Tsunade had assisted in slowly having all of Naruto's belongings moved into Kakashi's home. The day of the actual marriage, the very last of his belongs were transferred and so, after the papers were signed, Kakashi led Naruto to their new home.

Naruto had never before seen where Kakashi lived, so he wasn't exactly sure what he expected. When they arrived he stared in surprise at what he found. Kakashi lived in a moderately sized two story house. There was nothing particularly striking about it, and perhaps that was what most took Naruto by surprise. The house blended into the neighborhood. You could walk right down the street and you would never glance at it twice. Looking up at his new home he was almost positive that not a single neighbor knew that this was the home of the famous Copy-Nin Hatake Kakashi.

The blond glanced over at his new husband to find him looking at him, analyzing his reaction he supposed.

"Not what you expected, is it?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto shook his head. "I don't really think I had an image in my mind of what your house would look like, but if I did, this wouldn't be it." He looked up at the house once more before turning his attention back to his husband. "I suppose it makes sense though. It's just like you to hide in plain sight. Nobody would think that this is the home of the infamous Hatake Kakashi."

"Namikaze Kakashi now," his husband corrected.

Naruto smiled at the reminder. After he and Kakashi had decided to marry they'd had a brief discussion on whose name would change, and ultimately they had decided to change both their names to Namikaze to honor Naruto's father. Tsunade had been surprised by their decision, but seemed very pleased with their choice, stating that perhaps this reminder of Naruto's heritage would help to ease his path to Hokage even more.

"Do your neighbors know that you live here?" the blond asked as he looked around the neighborhood, his sapphire blue eyes burning with curiosity.

Kakashi laughed. "Tenzo is the only neighbor who knows that I live here. The other neighbors are all regular citizens."

Naruto's eyes widened. "Yamato-taichou lives over here too?!"

Kakashi tilted his head to the side and pointed over his shoulder. "Right across the street."

Naruto turned and stared at Yamato's house. It was ... pink. Yamato's house was pink. Naruto felt his lips twitch in humor and he broke out into helpless giggles. The fierce Anbu captain lived in a house that looked like it belonged to an eighty year old woman. The house was pink with white shutters, and white lacy curtains. He just could not imagine Yamato-taichou living in such a place. But obviously he did.

Kakashi laughed along with Naruto. "Definitely not where you would expect Tenzo to live, right?"

Naruto shook his head, his eyes shining with mirth. "Not at all! If I were to imagine Yamato-taichou's home I would either think haunted house, or log cabin. Maybe a cross between the two. This was so far beyond my comprehension that it's hilarious!"

Several minutes later, after a brief tour of his new home, Kakashi showed the blond their bedroom. The two of them had spoken before they had said their vows, and they had both agreed that sharing a room would help get them used to their change of relationship far faster than separate rooms would. Of course, Naruto had only agreed to this when Kakashi had promised that he would not pressure Naruto into having sex before he was ready, not that Naruto thought he would but, he wanted to cover all his bases, just in case.

"Alright, you've given me a tour of our home so ... when are you going to take off your mask? You did say that you didn't wear your mask at home, but you've yet to take it off," Naruto stated boldly as he turned to stare at Kakashi expectantly.

"Maa, but are you sure you're ready?" his husband inquired, brow arched.

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "I've been ready since I was twelve!" he announced, slightly exasperated with the man's evasive tactics.

Kakashi chuckled as he reached up and, oh so slowly, lowered his mask.

Naruto studied the newly uncovered skin curiously, noting that Kakashi did not have buck teeth, or fat lips, or a small mouth, or a large nose as he'd once speculated in his youth. He did have a small mole right below his lips on the left side of his face. It wasn't unattractive though. Naruto then took in Kakashi's face as a whole, and he froze, his breath catching in his chest. His husband was quite possibly the most beautiful man he'd ever seen.

Kakashi smiled. Ah, that smile ... it made Naruto shiver as he felt his heart rate pick up and, he had a sudden quelling desire to feel those lips on his own. Naruto swallowed hard as he forced himself to look away before he did something he wasn't yet ready for.

Kakashi was initially disappointed when Naruto looked away from him and commented that he should unpack his stuff and get settled in, but then he noticed the blond's shaking hands, and the intermittent glances he kept sending Kakashi when he thought he wasn't paying attention. All those led to one conclusion ... Naruto was very much attracted to him. Only, the blond was unsure of what to do about that attraction and he needed the time to allow it to sink in.

Kakashi hid a wicked grin as he thought about how much fun he was going to have building up Naruto's desire for him. He wondered how long the blond would last before he gave into that desire.

The next few days would prove to be interesting indeed.
