It was warm.

That was the first thing Naruto thought. He cracked open his blue eyes and looked at Kakashi who was deep asleep. His first thought was to panic as to how Kakashi got in here, until he remembered everything happened the day before, and how he had embarrassingly asked Kakashi to hug him to sleep. It was in the spur of the moment and blonde hadn't realized he did what he did until Kakashi had squeezed in his bad and they both fell asleep.

It was odd, to sleep, to be cuddled by someone who clearly cared for him. It felt nice. And Naruto thought that if his parents were alive, it would have felt like this.

Sighing lightly, he detached himself from Kakashi's hold. It was a little difficult, but Naruto managed, then he breathed out. He started to make breakfast for two and he slowly turned on the stove. He fried the egg and he heard Kakashi murmur distinctively.

"..Minato-sensei"

And Naruto's heart stilled. His stomach churned and the sizzling of the pot brought him out of it. Sensei? His father was Kakashi's sensei. Did that mean Kakashi had approached him because of ghosts? Why di- He shook his head. No. No. He had told Kakashi. He had told him to speak to him, rather than them. And Kakashi had seem to accept it. So Naruto wouldn't make a hasty judgement, he would give the man a chance. Just one chance.

He just hoped Kakashi used it wisely, for ..both their sakes. Tears dropped from his eyes at the thought of having to say goodbye to the man and he furiously wiped them. He wasn't a child, and it was Kakashi's choice and Naruto would just have to accept it.

Shaking his head, Naruto served the food and put in on his table as he opened the TV. He opened his book on chakra elemental infinities and he hummed. Obviously his chakra control was not going to be easy, but the leaf exercise had been done. He couldn't do the tree nor water. However, he could do air, which would be easier to practice, but for now he still continued to read ahead because there was a lot of books to catch up on.

He ate his food and hummed as he heard Kakashi's stir. It was almost 7. He wondered what position Kakashi held in the village, as Naruto didn't exactly know the rankings went. His history lessons were still on the clans and not much on the village systems.

He would obviously learn that later, but he wasn't as interested, although knowing what the masked protectors were called would be nice. Speaking off. He wondered if the masked man that watched him had taken his biscuits. Ever since the other masked man had saved him, Naruto had put a plate of snacks for the masked man and most times he would find it finished.

The first time he had found a note of thanks and Naruto assumed that as long as he found them finished it'd still be that same masked man and if the food wasn't finished, he assumed that they'd rotated. Naruto wasn't blind, he felt them watching him. It took a LOT of concentration, but Naruto did feel them.

And he'd gotten used to it, especially because there was one that was almost always there, he was also the one who had saved him. Dog. His favorite. Naruto loved him the most. But he didn't know who the man, he had even checked if it was his current protector only to be left disappointed. Although, everytime he looked at Kakashi, it seemed like him but considering he wasn't that lucky in life, Naruto always brushed it off.

Maybe one day he'd ask his current current protector about the dog mask.

"-this is good"

"AHH!!"

Naruto screamed in fright, as he looked at Kakashi who was eating his food. He hadn't even heard the man wake up or even eat and yet it seemed he had been there for some time.

His cheeks turned red at his reaction and Kakashi chuckled softly. "Morning kid" Naruto nodded his head hesitantly, "morning" he muttered softly as he sat down, whilst Kakashi took his plate and started washing them. Naruto didn't stop him and continued reading his book, but his eyes would gravitate towards the man who's eyes were looking at the plate of biscuits.

"They're for my masked protector, I've been putting them for him now"

Kakashi twitched, "oh really now" Naruto nodded slowly and he was surprised to see Kakashi eat a few more of them and leave one biscuit.

".." Tenzo was speechless.

Naruto was stunned, "hey? Why'd you do that?" Kakashi only gave an eye smile and ruffled Naruto's head. "Don't worry he won't mind" Naruto blanched but nodded as Kakashi sat beside him.

The air was quiet and and Naruto looked at Kakashi who paged around his drawings. Wasn't he too comfortable? Then again Naruto didn't mind, Kakashi looked like someone who was always upright and serious, so seeing him so calm, and chill was just...surprising

"Do you want to hear a story?"

Naruto nodded, "I know your parents, and I know why everyone hates you" Kakashi stated as he swallowed thick amounts of saliva waiting for Naruto's reaction. The blonde only flinched, but then nodded, obviously he knew that much, and obviously he knew that Kakashi couldn't tell him.

"I know you do, and I know you're bounded by village laws not to tell me" Naruto muttered softly, and Kakashi visibly deflated. It was quiet for a few more minutes, until Kakashi cleared his throat and forced a smile, "then, do you still want to hear the story?" Kakashi asked and Naruto nodded, yes he did.

"Well it starts with Sakumo Hatake, the white fang..my father" Naruto's eyes widened, "That's you're dad!" Kakashi nodded slowly feeling slightly offended, whilst Naruto on the other hand tried to calm his little heart. AHH. This was so cool. Sakumo's son was Kakashi. AHH!! Dattebayo this was too cool!

Looking at Kakashi who looked at him with an amused look, Naruto slowly calmed himself down, but his eyes betrayed his enthusiasm. "Please continue" Naruto said and Kakashi nodded as he ruffled Naruto's head. He had always wanted to do this,and doing it the first time during his house warming party made him realize how much he had wanted to be close to the kid.

The Hatake continued to talk and spoke about his father's suicide, meeting his sensei, his team's..deaths, the Kyubi attack and being ANBU. All the while he didn't mention Kushina's name, his code name as ANBU and who Naruto's parents were. However, as he looked at the blonde who was quietly thoughtful, Kakashi had a strange feeling.

Naruto on the other hand was strangely comforted once more as it was further known to him that his parents had absolutely loved him. He looked at Kakashi who seemed dazed and Naruto smiled, Kakashi had given him more than enough, more than he ever knew. Moreover, Kakashi hadn't approached him just because of his parents, he truly wanted to be there for him... And most importantly, Kakashi was dog.

Naruto grinned, joyful tears in his eyes.

Ah.

He was that lucky.
