Hokage's assistant

The invitation

"I don't have time for this. I'm the hokage! What if people need me?" Kakashi says, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Everyone will be there! If someone needs you, you'll be able to help them right away!" you plead, putting on your best puppy eyes.
You're standing in front of his desk with Obito, while Kakashi sits down, keeping busy, annoyed and determined to not have fun. He lets out a heavy sigh and turns his attention back to paperwork.

"I said no".

"And I said yes", Obito counterattacks. 

"What a great argument!" Kakashi replies in an impressed tone, beaming at you two, but then putting on his serious face in a second "Still no."

"Please lord sixth!", he frowns at the lord, "I will catch up on all the work we lose, I'll put in extra work for a week", you beg.

"And I'll help." Obito adds. You look at him and smile excitedly, slightly blushing, already fantasizing about the time you will spend together: accidentally bumping into him, touching his hand while you hand him some papers, making sure you wear that almost-inappropriate-for-work outfit and then veeeery slooooowly bending over to retrieve some papers. He smiles back and you explode like a giddy little girl on the inside. This dark, tall, handsome man is the police chief, Obito Uchiha, who visits the hokage a lot. You really needed a break from hopelessly crushing on your boss, and crushing on Obito might not be that hopeless because he's friendly towards you, like very friendly. You suspect that maybe he has a thing for you and, with some careful planning, you could snatch him.

"I don't want you anywhere near important documents! I don't need airplanes made out of them. Another argument not to go" Kakashi replies while fidgeting with an invisible lint on his cloak.

"I didn't know it was important! You know I don't read small text" Obito rolls his eyes in frustration. You catch Kakashi's mouth going into a half-smile through the mask. This turned into a little game of power between those two and you're on the losing side. 

You and Obito have been trying to convince Kakashi to go to the party for almost an hour. He's not backing down in the slightest. The party overlaps with a couple of hours of work, which means that if he's not going, you can't go either - you're hokage's assistant and follow him like a shadow. You also really really want to go and somehow magically slow-dance with Obito and charm him with your impeccable flair, his dreamy eyes locked on yours, make his hand slip a little too low and oh boy, that's when the fun starts. But for the fun to have any chance to start, you need to convince the most stubborn, workaholic, diligent, anti-fun, rigid person you know to relax. Obito's expression changes. He frowns and rubs his chin pensively

"Kakashi, would you say y/n is a sloppy assistant for insisting so much on skipping work?" he asks. 

Your jaw drops in shock. You look at Obito in disbelief at his betrayal and feel a knot forming in your stomach, oh no you can't lose this job for a party, even if it's the party. You've been working so hard to get the job and then you've been working so hard since you've gotten it: laboriously finishing all your duties on time and putting in extra-work, coming up with new projects, trying to be creative, taking off a huge workload off of Kakashi's shoulders, while enjoying every minute of it. You bang your head on the table in a low bow

"I am so sorry, Hokage-sama! I didn't mean to sound like I want to avoid work and have fun, I was looking after your best interest! I thought we could both have a well-deserved break and go back to work with fresh forces but I understand work is always the first priority and I will work even more diligently to make up for this mistake" you say breathlessly. Obito looks at Kakashi and raises his eyebrows mischievously, a wide victorious grin forming on his face.

"Maybe you should look for a new assitant again. I bet the last 5 assistants would never ask for a break from work for 2 hours, that's too much". Kakashi looks up from his papers and pierces Obito with a cold stare, then exhales angrily, defeated. 

"Ok. We're going."

You look up and your face goes from terror to shock to surprise to smile and finally to feverish enthusiasm. You let out a way-too-squeaky "YES!"  and in an unconscious gesture you grab Kakashi over the table and hug him tightly, your feet up, hitting the air in excitement. He awkwardly pats your shoulder but you don't let go until he coughs shortly in a low voice.

"Thank you, hokage-sama! You won't regret it, you'll see. And I promise to not have too much fun and keep half of my mind busy with work." He nods shortly and waves his hand, gesturing for you two to leave him alone now. 
After closing the door to his office, you and Obito do a little victory dance. 

"It works like a charm every time. You're Kakashi's one true weakness" Obito says, fist-bumping you. 

"Yes, hokage-sama has had a really hard time finding a good assistant. Or he somehow scared away the last five, but I don't back down from work" you say, flexing your right hand.

"I think there's more to it than his appreciation for how well you handle papers" he says raising an eyebrow and eyeing you up and down. You think for a second

"My calligraphy and ability to balance three pencils on my upper lip?" he looks up and thinks for a second, then tilts his head and looks at your back

"Yeah, that must be it". You punch his shoulder then cover your brick-red face with your hands in embarrassment yet secretly enjoying it. 

"I don't think that's an appropriate way to be talking to the hokage's assistant" says a voice echoing from behind you.

"Rin!", Obito exclaims excitedly, "we were just discussing the party and how lucky Kakashi is to have us looking after him. Say, are you coming too?"

"I might, wouldn't want to miss you in formal wear", she replies with an impish smile.

"Oh no", you facepalm, "I don't have a dress yet! I didn't think we could convince Kakashi-sama."

"I don't have one either", Rin says, "there's still time. I wouldn't worry about it, I'm pretty sure those losers are going to wear their work outfits anyway".

"Not this loser.", Obito smiles proudly, pointing at his face. "This one is wearing something really fine. If you want to match, there's a really nice dress in the clothing shop window on the main street. I bet it could do the job", he says biting his lip.

"In your dreams", Rin says. You don't get to reply because Kakashi calls for you and you bust into his office without saying goodbye to Obito and Rin. 

He needs you to review this mornings' mission reports. You pull a chair and sit next to him, reading the same phrase ten times before you understand its meaning, because your mind is racing with scenarios for tomorrow night. You catch Kakashi watching you with both worry and curiosity when you abruptly turn to him.

"Thank you, Kakashi. This means so much to me, I'm very happy". A slight shade of pink forms on his cheeks as he nods shortly and turns to his papers. You imitate his gesture and go back to both work and fantasies.
