Him & I (Kakashi x OC)

Chapter 12: Life Together (Part 1)

⚠️⚠️Fluff⚠️⚠️

*Third Person POV*

Two months went by.

The two slowly fell into a comfortable routine.

Mai would wake up every 6am, an hour before Kakashi.

She'd get herself sorted, always making sure that she she was well groomed. She'd then prepare breakfast and lunch for Kakashi.

They would eat breakfast in comfortable silence, having the occasional conversation. Before going about their day.

She'd do the same for dinner.

By the time Kakashi arrived home everything was already set up. She'd have her usual evening meditation in the backyard as Kakashi would sit on the deck chairs and read while keeping her company.

After having their showers they'd have dinner together, engaging in small causal conversations, usually asking about each other's day.

Kakashi came to realize how her life was based on routines. She'd always do things on time. So eventually he started noticing how she was acting strange. Waking up 30 minutes earlier than usual, being extra quiet, avoiding small talk and dozing off while meditating.

He gave her the benefit of the doubt brushing aside any irrational thoughts.

If he went on mission's she'd have the house to herself.

She started remodeling the house. Changing the interior designs and making the space look lively. Kakashi didn't mind, he loved the fact that it kept her busy and she was genuinely happy doing it.

*Mai's POV*

I hated having to hide things from anyone. Especially my Kakashi.

I had found myself a job at the Library. I was happy. It made me feel independent.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the fact that Kakashi provided for me but I can't just sit back and be handed money every time he risked his life.

I'm pretty sure he is also on strict orders to not let me work so I had to keep this a secret.

I was on my way to work. Slowly making my way up the steps to the Library. Making sure no one noticed me.

"Lady Mai?"

This is the first time someone has ever called me that ever since the wedding.

I turned around to see who it was.

On no, it was one of Kakashi's friend.

"G-Genma, hello..."

"Heading to the Library I see," he said as he bit his senbon.

"Mai you're late!! A few of the kids want you to read to them!" My boss whisper yelled.

A shocked look popped up on his face.

"Lady Mai I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to-,"

"Lady Mai, as in Lady Mai Tenzo, I mean Hatake!" The little old woman exclaimed.

I gulped.

"No, please no no no, you can't let anyone know who I am Chihiro-sama!"

"And you too Genma... You can't tell Kakashi! I need this job,it make me happy and occupied."

"Especially when he goes on missions, I hate being by myself," I said.

"Alright Lady Mai, you have my word, but please you need to come inside quick, the little ones can't wait!" She said as she went inside.
