Please Forgive This Idiot (Naruto)

Chapter 4 - Hobbies

"Tadaima," Kakashi called. "...O-"

"Okaeri,"  I greeted. He blinked and smiled. "Can you help me arrange these stuff?"

"Hai," I ran forward to help him with the groceries.

"You have quite a lot of strength for someone who isn't a ninja," Kakashi carried the paper bags to the kitchen.

"O-Oh," I stammered. "T-Thanks...?"

'Was that supposed to be a compliment?'

(I actually do stammer in front of people I'm not really close with)

(I guess I'm a combination of Shy Kaneki and Shikamaru anddddd random weirdo fanfic main character.)

My eyes shone as I spotted a few eggplants in the fridge. Shaking my head, I took out the stuff from the paper bag and placed them in the fridge.

(I love eggplants. Especially the ones cooked with minced pork. I don't like bitter ones tho.)

"What do you want for dinner today?" Kakashi asked.

"H-H-Huh?" I stammered. "O-Oh. A-Anything would do."

'Save me from this awkwardness!!!' I screamed mentally.

"Oh, and here," Kakashi placed a small paper bag on the counter. "That's for you." 

"Oh...t-thank you," I clenched my fist, looking away. 'STOP TALKING TO ME, GODDAMN IT!!!! AWKWARD, AWKWARD!!!!'

"You okay?" Kakashi asked.

"Y-Yeah! Why do you ask?" I tried my best to smile.

"Ah, nothing," Kakashi eye-smiled. 

(This is after dinner)

"Can you cook?" Kakashi asked all of a sudden as we sat silently in the living room.

"O-Oh! Uh, I can, but I-I'm not really a good cook," I smiled nervously.

"I see. Because.....uh....I might be quite busy sometimes, with ninja stuff," He gave me an apologetic eye-smile.

"Oh, it's okay," I smiled. 'Great. I want some alone time. Staying with someone I don't really know is so freaking awkward.'

"But don't worry, I'll not be at home for 2 weeks, at the most."

Oh.

"Do you want a tour around the village?" He asked.

"Uh, no thank you, I can wander around some other time. I don't want to get you busy," I smiled. 'Eh? The stuttering's gone.' 

Silence.

"S-So....." 'Oh the stuttering's back again! Welcome back, my friend!!!' "...I saw a few books around your house....you l-like r-reading?"

Shit.

Did I really say that.

Oh shit.

I wanted to tease him but I didn't know I would really spit that out.

"O-Oh!" His face reddened a bit. "Y-Yeah!"

Okay...end the conversation quickly...

"Oh," I nodded and turned away so fast that my neck almost snapped. 

'GOD DAMN IT!!!! WHAT THE FUCK, SHIMIKO SOKAEDA!?!?!!??! YOU FUCKING BONEHEAD!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!?!!??!' I screamed at myself mentally.

"So, uh, what's your hobby?" He asked.

"M-My hobby?" I stuttered, turning back to him. "Well, uh, I like drawing and writing random stuff. Reading, too." 'Naruto fanficions. But it'd be so suspicious if I wrote that here.'

"Drawing, hm?" He hummed.

"Y-Yeah, b-but I'm not really good at drawing..." I smiled nervously. 'And I always mess your hair up when I try to draw you.'

"What kind of stories do you like?" He asked.

"Uhhhhhhh......." I bit my lips. 'Fanfics. Fanfics. Fanfics. BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT HERE!!!!!!' "M-Mysteries are good, but I don't read much now. I've always wanted to try horror. Poems are nice too."

"What about romance?" he tilted his head.

"I'm not really interested in romance and that stuff," I chuckled nervously. 

(Which is why I dont read much fanfics that focus mainly on ships)

"Ah, I see...." he glanced at the clock. "It's quite late now, we should go to sleep."

"Yeah," I stared at the clock, sweatdropping mentally. 'It's only 11.00pm.....'

"Oyasuminasai," I smiled.

"Oyasumi," he eye-smiled as he closed the door.

I sighed and closed the lights before lying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling fan.

'In my fanfiction I was going to update in Wattpad....' I turned to the side. '...Ikenta was going to die.

Roku wold live a happy life with....someone.

Then in Foxy-chan, the next chapter was about Kushina and Minato's death....'

Extra

Kakashi's eyes widened as he slowly spun towards the door of his room. 

Shit.

He left his Icha Icha in there.

He disappeared and appeared on a tree right outside his window. 

She's not asleep yet. 

Damn it.

And there he sat for a few hours until Shimiko fell asleep curled up in a ball. 

He grinned under his mask and shunshined inside, silently taking the stack of po-books.

He was about to leave but glanced at Shimiko again. 

'Nagoya....Japan.....'

He appeared in his office and put his books aside before taking another stack of books and some maps out from his storage seals.

'I'll find it...You'll get home.'
