Compromises
Based on: No Buisquit for the Bad Dog [KakaSaku sketch] by Elbytron
Relationships are all about compromise. They're about balancing control, attempting to see one anothers' point of view, and shifting roles as is fitting. Communication is important, as is maintaining a bright, peaceful outlook during the worst of arguments. There needs to be mutual understanding, trust, and above all a healthy amount of give-and-take.
This is why Kakashi found himself perched on the edge of the bed, attired in only his boxers, a leash around his neck, and his hands tied behind his back.
Kakashi and Sakura, who'd been dating for two years, were no stranger to compromises. Kakashi didn't read Make-Out Paradise during dinner, and in exchange Sakura didn't complain when he arrived at dinner an hour late. Kakashi didn't leave the toilet seat up, and Sakura returned the favor by not spending an absurd amount of time in the bathroom on most mornings.
And, most importantly, Sakura did not criticize him about his reading material, yell at him about being late, or protest when he desired some "special attention" when she was busy. In exchange for these mercies, Kakashi allowed her to, once a week, tie him up, put a collar around his neck, and do whatever she wanted.
Sakura gave the leash a rather aggressive yank, drawing his face closer to hers. She smirked, enjoying the look of barely contained lust on his face. He'd been annoying her more than usual as of late. If she didn't know any better, she could have sworn he was provoking her on purpose.
Kakashi closed his eyes as Sakura pressed her lips to his, kissing him passionately, almost violently. If only she knew how much he secretly enjoyed it….
Sakura withdrew from the kiss, her smirk widening. If only he knew that she was aware just how much he enjoyed it.
As long as neither of them admitted it, they could pretend it was nothing more than a "compromise".
