It felt like an eternity. He was pacing around, fidgeting with his fingers. To him, it felt as if the peek or climax of some stupid story. The frost on the door twitched. In his eyes, everything took place in slow motion as the empty orange mask opened the door, leaning on the door frame, urging him to say something. He looked like he expected everything... Well of course he did. And he was mocking him with his small gestures. After all, people do say when you hate someone, you seem to hate everything they do. Even the slightest movements will tick you off.

"Are you going to let me in or not?" Kakashi wasn't some peasant. He was not going to beg him to let him stay.

"Some sort of bluff you got there." As he talks nonchalantly, as his hand glides down the smooth surface of the wood to the doorknob beneath Kakashi's sight. "My eyes are up here you know" Smirking with his classic devilish smile. (Kakashi is inferring) "Just a half an hour ago you were all sad.. Seems like your not a people person huh?... or your just.. Moody? Have your hormones kicked in?"

Kakashi, not having any of this, repeats his past statement, "Are you going to let me in or not."

"C'monn... I'm just having a bit of fun..."

Kakashi glared at him, almost ready to leave. Silence filled between them so at the last second, the man gives in, "Alright, alright, come inside"

He steps back and lets him in. The house was different. It was suspicious. It felt like a whole different one although it was still the same layout. The whole house was all bright with a modern feel to it. It was completely remodeled to fit his aesthetic. The main hall had a high ceiling with a chandelier in the middle, hanging from above. Plus, every corner was decorated with beautiful lights, and even the walls have been changed to a different shade. There's no possible way he did this himself. He must have someone help him.

Kakashi was glancing around everywhere, not a place his eyes have not reached. As he was examining the area, (expressing way too much) the man leads him into a bathroom. "I'm glad you find my house appealing.", "But, if you wanna stay here, rather than the "forest", wash up and meet me in the dining room."

The bathroom was just as pretty. (And way too big) It was the size of his house at the apartment he was staying at before. There was already a bath waiting for him. Candles circled around the tube all lit, creating a soft atmosphere along with it. Rose petals were laid on the bath water and steam gently waved around the room. "What the fuck.." He murmured. "I don't know what his intention was buttt it shouldn't mean much." He brushed it off as a way to persuade him to stay. I mean he had no better other option now anyways.

He strips down and rinses before soaking in the tube. He went in. The water was the perfect temp, not to hot nor to cold. He sighs while shutting his eyes, straining the water out of a face towel, before laying it on his face, trapping the moisture and steam.

*20 minutes later*

It was about time to get out. The water became colder, not cold necessarily, but nearly room temp. He drains the tube and pats himself dry. He quickly found new clothes in the cabinet, above the sink, that wrote "Wear this." It was just an ordinary t-shirt that had a cat on it. Not so appropriate for his age but to be honest, who cares. So, after clothing himself he wanders downstairs to see that man.

The man was cooking at the stove and beside him stood a bunch of food. There were plates of dumplings, duck, and vegetables. Everything looked professionally cooked, and smelled amazing.

"Oh I see you're finally down. Come here would you?"

"Kakashi didn't trust him quite yet but... he was really hungry so he decided to come over."

The man was cooking a fish, the last thing left till done. It was sizzling out oil because it had just been placed on the wok.

"What do you want me to do?"

The man just grinned and put him in right front of him. Given by this sudden action Kakashi was flustered. Just a little...just a little.

"Alright just put in sesame oil, salt, ginger, green onion, rice wine, and a sprinkle of sesame", "I already put the ginger and green onions in so just add the other ingredients" He grins and crosses over to the counter next to him and chops the ingredients before handing it to Kakashi.

*After they finish*

Everything was plated on the black and white marbled table. They both sit down and Kakashi naturally purposely sits the farthest away from him. They each sliced large portions of duck and others. He hesitantly slipped down his mask because he knew well that there's no way he would be able to hide it for much longer anyways. The man stopped. He just gazed at Kakashi for the longest time and Kakashi just avoided his gaze. All of a sudden, the man jerked out of seat, turned his back to him as fast as possible and walked... no more like ran to the upstairs bathroom.

"The hell?" Kakashi was incredibly confused. But as usual, he shrugged it off.

*30 minutes later*

*Creek creek creek* He had come back down.... Without his mask.
