Naruto Various x Reader/OC/Ship [One Shots & Lemons]

Snap - Kakashi x reader

Anxiety bubbled like a witch's frothing cauldron.

Your stomach churned as you eyed the two girls that sat opposite you, their friendly smiles seemed genuine but worry gnawed your insides regardless. You hoped that the gentle chatter within the dainty looking tea shop was enough to mask the wild thump of your heartbeat. Surreptitiously you wiped your sweat-slicked palms on the pale pink skirt you had chosen this morning.

This was the first time you had been invited out by some of your boyfriend's friends and despite the swelling social anxiety you experienced in situations like this, you were determined to make a good impression. Kurenai and Anko swapped a subtle look before turning back to face you.

"We were so happy you accepted our invitation, y/n," Kurenai offered. Her voice was soft and lilting, head tipped to the side to make her dark hair shimmer in the soft light. She smiled kindly before raising her teacup to her lips.

You nodded, working furiously to keep the blush that was creeping up your neck from becoming any brighter. Your own teacup rattled in its saucer as you lifted it to mimic Kurenai's action.

As you took a sip of the piping hot liquid gold, Anko piped up.

"How are things going with Kakashi? He treating you right?"

You almost choked on the mouthful as it scalded your tongue and throat. It took you a moment for the spluttering to end, trying to gently thump on your chest whilst it felt like every eye in the suddenly tight space was on you.

Anko chuckled, slouching in her chair. She scowled as Kurenai smacked her on the back of the head and gave her a truly filthy look.

"I'm sorry about Anko, she really doesn't know how to be subtle. You don't have to tell us anything about your relationship with Kakashi if you don't want to. We just want to get to know the girl that has him acting so strangely," she apologised with an incline of her head.

Kakashi is acting strangely... what does that mean?

"No, it's fine – really. Everything is going really well, I think. I can assure you that he treats me like a pampered princess at times..." you trailed off, frowning as wayward thoughts swept through your mind like birds of prey seeking out their next meal.

It was true that everything was going great in your relationship. You had been officially dating Kakashi Hatake for the past six months, and whilst you had continued to grow closer the longer you spent together, you knew he was holding back from you. The problem was that you weren't entirely sure what it was that he refused to show you. All you did know was that there was often a glint in his dark grey eye, you would catch sight of it from the corner of your eye and as soon as you blinked it was gone again.

You had spent more time than you cared to admit analysing that look, and until this point, you could draw no conclusive answer.

Kurenai appeared to be studying your words, a small furrow to her brow as Anko sat forward with excitement bubbling over like an erupting volcano. This girl was a force of nature, and despite her brash mannerisms, you couldn't help but like her immediately.

"What does he look like behind the mask, y/n? I just gotta know," she whined dramatically, "I can't count the number of times I've tried to get a peek without any success. All his former playthings remain ridiculously tight-lipped as well, so suspicious if you ask me."

"Playthings?" you whispered. Your fingers twisted into the material of your skirt as you watched the panicked look appear on Anko's face.

"Well, y'know... Kakashi isn't really the dating type. I – uh, I reckon you might be his first proper girlfriend if you catch my drift."
