Author's Note: I write these things with a straight face while eating cookies and cream mochi. Enjoy. Also, there's been very little feedback in the last two chapters. Y'all good?
Chapter Note: Little bit of bloodplay in this but nothing serious. Could be considered gross but it is what it is. Kakashi gets weird and we're all here for it, right?

Avurin would never get used to waking up in Kakashi's arms. However, she could get frustrated enough to want to kick him off the bed. Honestly, if he weren't injured, she already would have. It was already past sunrise and the man had her almost in a chokehold, one arm crossed against her chest, the muscles of his forearm pressing against her collarbone, his hand holding onto the shoulder she wasn't lying on. His other hand, however, was wandering. She didn't know if he was awake and she didn't care. She wanted to kick his ass.
When his wandering hand gave her ass a firm squeeze, she felt her face heat up. Was he really doing this in his sleep? One thing she was starting to get used to (despite the awkwardness of it) was the familiar hardness pressing against her rear that tended to be prominent in their mornings together. They usually just ignored it when they started getting ready for their day and he never mentioned doing anything about it. However, this time, Kakashi was either dreaming about something promiscuous or was having a very enjoyable morning with her. He was gently rutting against her, his wandering hand moving between stroking her side and grabbing at her ass while his other arm held her in place.
"K-Kakashi…" she whispered. He needed to wake up. This was not happening in this musty house while he was injured and they desperately needed to get back to the village for new clothes and actual showers. Did she want to run away from the uncomfortable topic and not just the current predicament? Absolutely. This was something they needed to take slowly. She was not letting him have his way with her while he was still asleep.
He grunted and hiked his hips against her again and she took a deep breath so she could think for a moment. His bare arm was right in front of her. She didn't know what he would do if she went through with this train of thought but she needed him awake and to back off. She opened her mouth… and clamped down on his arm.
She may not have his sharp canines but a bite was a bite. She just wanted his attention so this would just be a pinch to him and this wasn't her proudest moment, but even his dog-brain should pick up on a bite.
And it certainly did. Just not the way she wanted it to.
He groaned loudly in her ear, only slightly muffled by his face pressing against her neck, and she felt him press against her, a warm pulsing feeling pressed firmly against her ass. They still had two layers of clothes between them but she knew what it was. He just finished whatever dream he was having. She bit him and his response was to cum his own pants. She let out a humiliated whimper and gave up. This was an impossible situation.
Unfortunately, Kakashi finding his peak was apparently the key to waking up for the silver-haired man. She knew she was flushed up to the tips of her ears and there was going to be no hiding the mess in his pants or the way he had her pinned down. His grumbling as he woke up was about the only normal reaction he would have until he came to his senses.
Sure enough, the second he realized what he'd done, he jerked back and nearly fell off the bed. She just rolled over onto her back and brought her hands up to scrub at her face.
"Good dream?" she asked. She didn't dare look at him. He coughed a little and slid off the bed, already moving towards the storage scrolls where he would have his spare clothes.
"Uh, yeah. Very good dream." he mumbled back. She sighed and rolled off the bed. She was dressed in the clothes she would be wearing for the trip back, a black sleeveless shirt and gray pants, she just needed to wrap her ankles in tape and get her shoes on. She collected her things quickly and left the room, letting Kakashi have the privacy to clean himself up. Her face was still beet red as she made her way down to the living room. They had put everything away the previous evening, making sure the storage scrolls with everything important were secured with seals that Avurin would be able to disable when she was ready to open them.
Avurin had also decided to make sure the dishes were clean and the house was returned back to its original state to the best of her ability. It was only respectful. She almost saw this place as a memorial or a shrine to her family. She wanted it to remain as it was when they had originally arrived. She had a claim to the mansion as the last remaining member of her family but she had no clue what to do with it. She would figure it out eventually, but right now it would stay protected by the wards her family had used to preserve it. She would come back to it eventually.
She wasn't waiting long before Kakashi joined her, fully dressed in his normal attire with the exception of his Jonin jacket which was still on the front porch with hers. He had even pulled his mask up and his headband covered his Sharingan. She was almost uncomfortable with how used to his relaxed appearance she'd been. She missed his face already.
"Ready?" he asked. She nodded and gave him a pointed look. He'd taken off the arm sling but she still worried about his hip.
"What about you? Will you actually tell me if we need to stop during this trip?" she pointed out. He shrugged.
"We'll see. I'm pretty eager to get home and I've dealt with worse." Avurin felt her eye twitch.
"I'd rather get home and have you still standing when we get there. We have the time. Take it easy and take breaks when it hurts or I'll just decide when I need breaks and you'll have to take them with me." she snapped. He just gave her one of those closed-eyed smiles.
Whipping open the front door to the house, she walked onto the porch and grabbed her jacket, shaking it out before putting it on. Kakashi did the same and they looked out at the path leading to the gate.
"Pakkun was able to leave without any commands so I think you'll be fine as long as you're leaving. I think the wards are only meant to keep things out." Avurin told him, actually surprised to find that she wasn't as paranoid about the wards as she had been. She was fairly confident Kakashi wouldn't have trouble leaving the grounds.
A few minutes later, she was happy to see that she was right as they left the mansion behind through the gate. Taking to the trees, she let her legs stretch and enjoyed the fresh air as they set a casual pace back in the direction of Konoha.
…
They kept to the same pace throughout the day, only stopping for food and water breaks. Kakashi swore he was fine, if still a little sore, so they kept going. When they made camp for the night, Kakashi only bothered to set up one tent while Avurin caught some fish from a nearby river to eat for dinner. She didn't say anything but she could tell from the tense lines around his visible eye that he was starting to feel the strain of pushing himself through the day.
At their current pace, it would take them at least three days to get back to the village and that timeline would only be extended if they took more frequent breaks. While Avurin understood his need to keep pushing through the pain, the mission they were on wasn't life or death and he could afford to take it easy as far as she was concerned. If he was already feeling the strain after the first day, they would have to pace themselves if he was going to be on his own two feet when they walked through the village gates.
Avurin picked at the fish she'd cooked over the fire Kakashi built for the two of them as the last of the sunlight disappeared from the sky. The stars spread out above them, she couldn't help but feel very at-peace in the moment. Things weren't perfect, sure, but they had found what they were looking for and Kakashi wasn't going to die from a sprain. She would take the time to go through the information they had found at her own pace when they got back, she wouldn't have the pressure of a mission timeline to deal with after this.
"Come here," Kakashi muttered, setting down the stick that his own fish had been on before he'd picked it clean. Avurin's eyes narrowed in suspicion but she set down her own stick to shuffle next to him. They were sitting next to each other in the grass staring at the fire for a moment before he pulled on her wrist, prompting her to get in his lap like she had the day prior. Careful of his hip, she settled down on his thighs as he pulled down his mask.
Lips were on hers in the time it took for her to take a short breath. Kakashi's kisses were gentle, his hands ghosting down her sides and up her back, repeating a careful pattern with light touches as if he was scared that she'd pull away. He carefully pulled away from the kiss, his eyes downcast.
"I'm sorry about this morning," he whispered, not meeting her eyes. Her own gaze softened as she brought a hand to his cheek, tracing the scar under his eye.
"Hey, it's fine. There's only so much I can judge you for and having a good dream while you're in bed with a girl you like is hardly something I'm going to kill you for." Avurin found herself giggling. Kakashi cracked a smile at that and finally looked up at her.
"I guess that's true. It might also be the fact that I actually have you to myself and we're actually going to try to do this." His hands settled on her lower back. "I was dreaming about you, you know…" He leaned forward to nuzzle her neck, his warm breath tickling her.
"Oh, really now…" she mumbled, already feeling as if she didn't have enough air to fill her lungs. She felt him start laying kisses on her neck, his hands moving lower to cup her ass, gently squeezing. She let out a small whimper.
He was on her within a second, flipping their positions so that he was on top of her with his tongue in her mouth. He was more aggressive with his movements and she found that she wasn't opposed to it. If anything, she encouraged him by wrapping her legs around his hips, pulling him close as her hand tangled in his hair. She knew they would have to stop soon but Kakashi's attention on her just felt so damn good. So much for taking things slow…
A sharp pain on her lip had her gasp as the coppery taste of blood started intruding on the kiss. She didn't mind it, yet Kakashi tore himself away and stared down at her, panting over her with a smear of her blood on his mouth. She ran her tongue over the cut on her lip. It stung but it didn't feel like anything worth stopping things over. His canine must have nicked her.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Kakashi pushed himself up to stand quickly, pulling his mask back over his face. Avurin couldn't help but feel hurt by his quick retreat as she carefully pulled herself up to stand in front of him.
"Hey, it's not that bad. I don't mind." She got her feet under her and walked towards him, ignoring the small drip of blood leaving a wet trail on her chin. It was deep but it would heal on its own. Kakashi took a step back as she got closer so she stopped, her eyebrows knit together in concern.
"No, it's not okay. I don't want to hurt you when we get close like this. I'm just… I don't know how it happened. I was trying to be careful and-" She cut him off by taking the final steps to close the space between them, sweeping him into another kiss. Her mouth had blood in it but she didn't really care. He needed to shut up. He grunted and pulled away, only leaving an inch between them this time.
"Are you sure? It might happen again." He sounded broken, like he wasn't sure that he would be able to keep from hurting her. She put her arms over his shoulders, one of her hands weaving into his hair at the nape of his neck.
"I'm sure…" she whispered, bringing him back in to kiss her again. She felt the tension fall from his shoulders and one of his hands ran up her back to press her closer. The kiss stayed light until she felt his tongue run across the cut on her lip. She barely held back a hiss and he took that as permission for… whatever it was he thought he was doing. He started lapping at her lip, cleaning the blood from the wound and licking at it as if it would soothe the pain. She rolled her eyes behind closed lids and let him do what he needed to do. He licked down her chin to clean her up before licking into her mouth, his tongue making calculated swipes as if he was looking for something.
It took at least a minute before he was satisfied, pulling away slowly with a few final licks at her lip. It didn't feel like it was bleeding anymore and she was surprised to find that the coppery taste on her tongue was mostly gone. Slowly opening her eyes, she took in his own cleaned up mouth, tongue poking out from between his exposed teeth as he breathed a little harder than he had been. She almost laughed at the image, he looked like a dog with his tongue almost hanging out from his open mouth while he panted. She did allow a small smile, ignoring the tug on her lip from the cut.
"Thank you for that," she teased. His cheeks gained some color as he seemed to collect himself, closing his mouth with his tongue safely put away. He rubbed at the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Well, I just listened to what my head was telling me. Sometimes it's useful." he told her while averting his gaze, still embarrassed. She sighed and leaned forward to hug him.
"If that's the kind of thing your brain tells you, I guess we'll just get used to it. It wasn't unpleasant, just strange. Then again, you're strange. So it works out." She couldn't help but tease him again, wanting to see his smile. As expected, he did give in and smile a little at the tease.
"You're pretty strange yourself and you don't see me complaining," he countered, the soft look in his eyes making the comment more endearing than anything. She gave him a soft punch to the shoulder before fully pulling away from him.
"Let's go to bed. I'm tired and I'm sure you're sore." He nodded in agreement and they put out the fire, making their way into the tent where they stripped off their jackets and took off their shoes. They crashed into the sleeping bag together and Kakashi immediately pulled Avurin close. She was tired enough not to object.
She fell into the world of dreams with only one person in mind.
