It was ten after twelve. The streets were empty, the cafe was closed, and Naruto was alone sitting on the steps of the cafe, hugging his bag. Sasuke offered to stay with him until Kakashi comes, and Deidara even offered to give him a ride home. But Naruto just gave them a carefree smile and declined.
As much as he wanted Sasuke to stay and keep him company, Naruto didn't want to get too attached and dependent on the raven.
He didn't want to cause a misunderstanding with Kakashi either by worrying him if/when he arrives to find him not there. They can't contact each other either because Naruto still doesn't have a cellphone.
"Where the hell is that bastard?" He hissed angrily and worriedly.
Did something happen to the silver haired man?
What could have made him this late?
There was the sound of a car beeping. Naruto whipped his head to the direction of the sound and saw the familiar car of Kakashi.
The silver haired man got out of the car and jogged towards him, looking very guilty. "Sorry I'm late?" He scratched the back of his neck.
Naruto glared at him, stood up, and socked his stomach, before jogging to the car and jumping into the back seat.
Kakashi rubbed his hurt stomach and went to the car.
"Hey, I'm sorry okay?" Kakashi tried to appease to the blonde, who was looking out the window. "I was too engrossed in a case and, kinda sorta forgot about you?" That, seemed to the wrong thing to say. Naruto looked hurt when Kakashi said he forgot about him.
The rest of the drive back to the apartment was a quiet, uncomfortable one. Not awkward, but still uncomfortable.
The streets were almost empty, save for the gutter punks roaming the streets, hobos huddling around a small fire. And, of course there were the people who worked the night shift, staying awake all hours of the night.
"What do you want for dinner?" Kakashi attempted another conversation.
"Hn" Naruto grunted.
"Jesus you've been spending too much time with Sasuke" Kakashi commented. This managed to make Naru crack a smile. "Hn"
"Really though what do you want for dinner?"
"Hn"
"It's really technically breakfast though"
"Hn"
"Ramen?"
"Hn"
"Stop it Naruto"
"Hn"
"I'm serious!"
"Hn"
Kakashi gave an over dramatic yell that made Naruto burst out laughing, the older man laughed along with him.

When they got home, Kakashi decided to heat some leftover pork from the fridge, and Naruto played a movie.
"You still have work in a few hours" Kakashi reminded. "it's not a good idea staying up later than we already are. It's 12 already"
"Let's play hooky and stay at home" Naruto patted the spot beside him. Kakashi was about to decline and, maybe give a lecture about work, and responsibilities but one pleading look from Naruto made him change his mind.
The fact that Naruto can wrap him around his finger easily is alarming enough. Kakashi needs to make sure the kid doesn't get more manipulative. A few minutes later Naruto and Kakashi are eating pork while watching the Hollywood movie 17 again. Which Naruto claims, is the greatest movie ever.
Though Kakashi was less focused on the movie and more focused on Naruto. The light of the television screen hit Naruto's face perfectly, making his skin glow beautifully, his laughter was like melody for him and his big blue eyes were widened, so engrossed to the movie.
His eyes lowered to Naru's pink lips, and briefly wondered if they were as soft as they looked.
"He's a minor you idiot" he mentally hit himself. "You perverted old man, get a grip" He tried to focus on the movie, but his attention kept coming back to the blonde beside him.
Naruto was laughing and clearly enjoying himself. Meanwhile Kakashi was suffering and barely holding himself back. "Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it"
An hour later. The movie ended. And Naruto has fallen asleep, head against Kakashi's bicep (A/N: oh to be Naruto). The silverette just sat there, longingly staring at the vulnerable blonde resting so trustingly against him.
Kakashi carefully removed the blonde from his person, and carried him bridal style to his room.
The silverette gently placed the blonde on his bed, before taking off his shoes and getting into bed with him, wrapping his arms around Naruto protectively, nuzzling his face against the the crook of Naru's neck.
Under the impression Naru was in deep sleep, the silverette takes advantage of Naru's slumber and kissed him.
