My Bright Paramour (MinaKaka)

Ch 4

(Chapter has not been edited or refined yet)

The soft ticking of a clock sounded down the hall. A light hum of the air conditioning announces itself as Kakashi bends over turning it on. "Sensei, your room is down the hall on the left. I'll put up the groceries while you take your stuff to your room." Minato hummed in response, trailing down the hall taking quick glances at the pictures lined on the walls. Many pictures were of the Hatake family, few Minato actually knew. Aside from the small amount of photos containing Kakashi and his father. Minato smiles softly and continues left into the guest bedroom.

In the room sets a full bed, draped in grey sheets. There is a small, dark, stained vanity against the left wall. The closet door is on the far right wall. A window rests above the bed, curtains currently pulled shut. Minato sighs, shuffling his feet slowly to the closet. Dropping the clothes and other necessities Kakashi insisted they get, in front of the door. "I'll put this up later." He sighed to himself. The shopping journey had worn his weak soul out. Minato hated to admit it, but he most certainly lost majority of his strength after years of being trapped in the shingami. He moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, twiddling his thumbs as he thought about what jobs he could apply for. No one currently knew of his existence except Kakashi and lady Tsunade. Meaning he'd have to start over for the time being. He could try to retake the chunin exams and then later the Jounin ones. Even when he topped the best in them. But as of right now, that would require gaining back some of his skill. He could always try job hunting at grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. which would be much easier.

     Minato is interrupted by his thoughts when he hears a light rap on the door frame. He turns and see's Kakashi leaning against it, looking at him with an unknown expression, maybe- shyness? Kakashi clears his throat, then continues "Uh, I was thinking, maybe you could make us eggplant-mixed miso soup?" Minato raises his eyebrows at the question. "I- I mean you don't have too, I'm just afraid I would burn the complex down." He finished laughing awkwardly. Minato responds chucking heartily "yes yes of course! You don't have to be so awkward about it." He stands ignoring the way Kakashi's body seems to relax. Minato stretches his muscles, unaware of the keen eyes of the silver haired man watching.  Minato huffs out a breath turning to Kakashi.

     It was a little past 3 once Minato was done cooking. Kakashi had popped up in the kitchen multiple times, taste testing the food. Minato would just bat the him way with a spatula. They now sit at the table, Kakashi making a few comments on how much he likes the stew. "Are you suggesting I should make this again sometime." Minato said giggling, after another comment Kakashi had made on it. Kakashi's face reddened like a child being caught red handed. Minato's giggles evolved into a heart warming laugh as he noticed the blush dusted across Kakashi's face. Kakashi eventually started laughing awkwardly at his own embarrassment. The meal over all was a nice experience for both of them. It was a plus for Kakashi, because it was one of his favorite foods he got to eat with someone who he never thought to see again.

     Kakashi still could not get over Minato being revived. It was like a fever dream. Like many he had in the past. His life had been a nightmare after Minato died, it had been only these past few years that it had become bearable. As team 7 had came into his life. Even with all the Sasuke drama. He still did not feel as messed up as he did before hand. But now with Minato being alive, AGAIN. Brings on new feelings and memories he thought he had gotten over. Kakashi continuously picks at his hands, while sitting on the sofa. The TV was blaring some drama movie. It was the least of his worries though. Down the hall Minato resided in the guest bathroom, taking a shower. Which was much needed. The hospital never allowed him to clean himself. Yet they had only cleaned him once. Kakashi finally got annoyed with the movie and switched it over to some comedy show. He snickered at a lousy joke while picking up his make out paradise book off the table. Flipping through the pages till he lands were he last ended.

Soft padding of feet can be heard as Minato made his way down the hall. He was dressed in a orange sweater they had bought on their shopping trip. As well as a pair of grey jogging pants. "How was the shower sensei?" Kakashi questioned, nose still buried in his book. Minato hummed making his way over the the couch Kakashi was sitting on. He settled down beside him. Making sure to give Kakashi some room. "It was nice, I haven't had one in a while." Minato said shifting his gaze to the tv. "Well I'm glad." Kakashi answered, lifting his eyes from the book to look at Minato. His hair was still slightly wet, bangs matted his forehead. And if Kakashi had to be honest, it was kinda hot. Minato shifted his gaze back to Kakashi. Blue eyes boring into pure black. "You know Kakashi, you can stop with the 'Sensei' thing." Minato started, his gaze drifting elsewhere. "I'm no longer your sensei." He continued, chuckling awkwardly. Kakashi just watched wide eyed, then hummed lightly closing his eyes. Minato tapped his fingers against his knee speaking up again "This comedy show sucks." Kakashi opened his eyes, nodding slowly "It does." They both laughed lightly.

A/N
Hey everyone! I'm back with this short chapter XD. After so many moths. To be honest, I've lost motivation. But I'm trying. I've worked on this chapter on and off for the past few months. My writing has changed a bit too. Doubt it's noticeable though. It's hard to tell if I'll get more chapters out. But I will try. I just got back from vacation so I might be able to start writing more again. But anyway- it's hard for me to believe this now has over 5,000 views! Like woah. I did NOT expect this to get that much attention. Especially with this pairing. But thank you to you fans of this fic who some how have stayed with it :')
