Drunk in love (2/4?)

*Age gap is around 5 years, both underaged*

*Flashback — Kakashi's POV*

"Hey silver boy," (Y/n)'s voice sounded as she closed the door of my house behind her.

I frowned upon hearing her, even more, when I heard her usual lively mood. It made me more bothered.

"You don't need to keep coming" I huffed from the couch, crossing my arms and not even sitting up to look at her. My dad wasn't here anymore, she wasn't paid to babysit me anymore, so why should she come? Besides, I didn't want her to either...

"Maybe, but I want to," she dismissed me, walking past me without even sparing me a glance and walking into the kitchen, which bothered me more. Not even a glance? Really? "Besides, your dad asked me to take care of you, so that's what I'll do," she added, doing something in the kitchen. I huffed again, and crossed my arms once more, letting my body fall onto the couch one more time. 

"I'm fine by myself"

"But I won't be," she simply answered making me blush, and thus annoying me even more "Come here, help me with this," she asked me, making me sigh. But I stood up and with lazy steps and clear unwillingness I approached her. 

"Hey!" I yelled when she suddenly trapped me in her arms. 

"Besides! I've missed my little silver boy," she teased me, hugging me tight and rubbing her cheek on my hair.

"Stop! Let me go!" I shuffled in her arms while she giggled, lifting me from the floor. And the more she hugged me and rubbed her cheek on my head the more my whole body blushed, making me fight harder, until she finally let me go "You can't do that!" I reproached her with a frown and an accusative finger. She just laughed at me, making me even more embarrassed. 

"You used to hug me all the time when you were younger, c'mon" she smiled, and I had to turn around because I knew even the visible part of my face must have been burning red by now. But that wasn't fair, I was 4 years old then! And that didn't mean I didn't like her hugs... I was just embarrassed to accept them.

"It has to be consensual!" I finally stopped stuttering, facing her again. She seemed sad, but I knew she was acting. 

"So you don't want me to hug you?" she asked, and even though I knew she was playing, it still made my lip falter. 

"I-I didn't say that..." I couldn't help but say, making her smile again. She didn't say anything else and instead, she just ruffled my hair. 

"I bought mackerel, we can mix it with some veggies," she changed the topic, starting to prepare dinner. And even though she had stopped teasing me, it still made me blush, this time truly embarrassed because... I wanted her to hug me again.

I walked closer to her and had to make do with the touch of our arms as I waited for her to hug me. But she didn't, and so I started doing what she ordered me to. 

"I heard you went on a mission recently," she made conversation with me as we ate the salted mackerel we had cooked. I nodded, slightly excited. 

"I was named captain of the three. And I'm the youngest," I said proudly, hoping to get some praise. 

"You know the position normally rotates between the members of the team when they're all the same rank, right?" she smiled at me, making my brow twitch. 

"No, but I'm always the captain!" I refuted her, wanting her to see me as worthy as her other higher-rank friends "Minato-sensei told me I could take the jonin exam soon. He only said that to me" (Y/n) smiled, this time softly, which made me smile as well. 

"You're a talented ninja, Kakashi. I'm sure you'll pass," she finally complimented me, topping it with a ruffle of my hair again. It almost made me dissatisfied when she retracted her hand, but even then, I was happy as I hadn't been in a long time. 

I had missed this. Having a normal day, not eating alone, talking with someone while I ate, telling someone I cared about the things that happened throughout my day... And even if she wasn't my dad, she made me enjoy life again. At least whenever she was with me, I felt joy again. 

After that, she told me I could read while she cleaned the dishes. But I couldn't do it properly, I couldn't help but look at her every now and then, sad because I knew that as soon as she was done tidying things up she would leave me alone again... But she didn't, and my heart beat excitedly when she sat on the couch next to me, taking out a book of her own. 

"Watcha reading?" she asked me, looking right at my eyes

"Stories of the courageous shinobi!" I stuttered a bit nervous, but I eagerly showed her the book "There are many cool real-life stories of shinobi. I can lend it to you if you want" I said, looking back at her excitedly. She giggled, making me red because I wasn't able to know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. 

"Okay, you can lend me yours and I'll give you any book in my collection. What do you think?" she proposed, making my eyes widen with enthusiasm. And so, I started reading my book faster so that she could read it as well, and so that I could choose one of the many interesting books she owned. 

But it was getting late, and I was exhausted from the training I had today, so I quickly and unconsciously started getting sleepier and sleepier until my book fell onto my lap and my head fell onto (Y/n)'s shoulder. I wasn't completely asleep yet since I could feel her soft fingers slowly playing with my hair, making me fall even deeper into slumber. Until her shoulder couldn't hold the whole weight of my head and I fell onto her lap like my book had onto mine. But she kept caressing me until she picked me up and took me to my room, which inevitably woke me up a little, enough to be aware of what was happening. 

"Wait..." I said groggily, sitting up on my bed that she had carefully tucked me in "Can you... stay the night?" I asked, too tired to be embarrassed by such a childish request. But I didn't want to be alone like I had been all this time.

I knew she would come back some other day, but I also knew it wouldn't happen in weeks since she was busy with her duties as a ninja. So, even if it was for a little while... I wanted her to stay a bit longer and cuddle me like she used to when I was younger. So she did just that, and I happily fell asleep curled up next to her.
