Our Story {Kakashi X Reader}

|Part Thirty Eight|

|YOU|

I slid the paper across the table and the man across from me took a long drag from his cigarette. "So you're telling me that if I sign this, I'll still receive my subsidies but won't have to do nothing?"

My brow twitched. As if this man ever did anything in the first place. "Exactly. This paper explains that you're no longer liable."

He tilted his head in suspicion before skimming over the sheet I had handed him. I felt Kakashi's hand grip my shoulder, showing his support as we watched the man in front of us sign on the dotted line.

He flicked the paper towards me. "Now that it's done, I'm out of here." His cigarette dropped to the floor and he snuffed it out with his shoe as he stumbled to the door.

"What have I done," I mumbled, second guessing every decision I've made in the last 24 hours.

Kakashi sat in the now empty seat across from me. "It'll be fine. Even if it doesn't fix everything like you were hoping, it'll be a start."

"I'm going to have to find a different apartment. Hell, I'm going to need a house if this is going to work out."

Kakashi didn't speak and I leaned my head back to stair at the ceiling. My mind was spinning. Was I making hasty decisions because of the mass amount of synthetic hormones my body had been newly introduced to? Or was I just grasping at straws to make my life feel the same as it was before?

I was pulled from my thoughts when I felt Kakashi's hand slide into mine. His warmth was comforting, and I looked at him to see a softness in his eyes.

"You could just use your apartment. Two rooms is enough."

"Four, potentially five people sharing two bedrooms doesn't exactly sound like enough to me. I also am not overly fond of sleeping in bunk beds at my age."

Kakashi's hand became clammy but he didn't pull away. "It would work if you moved in with me."

My mouth opened but no words formed. I felt frozen in place despite the fact that my body was warm and my heart thumped heavily in my chest.

Kakashi continued in my silence. "I have a spare room if you're not wanting to share a one. I can see how this would seem a bit fast after everything we've been through"

"When you said you wanted us to start over—" I finally spoke, trying to keep my voice steady. "I didn't think that meant living together."

Kakashi's eyes were locked on me. The intensity of his gaze made my face flush. "I know I want to be with you. I know all of your flaws and strengths, I've seen you at your best and your worst and the way I feel hasn't changed.

"We were together for two years, and in that time we were essentially, unofficially living together. I know what to expect. I know I'll be annoyed with the hair on the shower walls and you'll always be mad about the toilet seat, but I don't want to hold back. I held back before, and I don't want to make the same mistakes again."

I smiled so big it hurt my cheeks, and quickly took a look around the cafe we were in. The only person here with us was the waiter, and Kakashi's back was to him.

I leaned over the table and pinched Kakashi's mask between my fingers. "Im going to kiss you."

Kakashi's mask was barely off his face when he gripped the front of my shirt and pulled me against him. Our lips met with a passion we never had before, and it set my heart on fire. If we weren't in public I would have let him have me there on the table.
