We Need Each Other

Docking Around

Time for some Narusasu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto and Sasuke sat in Kakashi's living room in silence while Kakashi poured himself another shot.

His mask was already down and his shinobi uniform was folded neatly besides him. He had four shots already and the fifth one went down with the same ease as the others did.

Naruto and Sasuke still was holding each other's hands.

No one had spoken yet.

Kakashi sat down his cup and looked up at his two precious boys.

The world was so cruel.

They had been through so much and they were only 14.

It wasn't fair. He poured another cup for himself and hesitated, but poured a shot for the boys also. He drowned this cup with a grimace.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other before taking their cup and drinking it. Naruto grimaced but the taste was familiar. There had been plenty of spare bottles laying around the neighborhood he lived in. It helped him on sleepless nights before. But he hasn't taken another sip after Ino and Shika threatened him.

Sasuke coughed at the sting. Kakashi made it look so easy, but it had burned his throat. Maybe it was because he never had any, though it made him think how much alcohol someone had to consume for them to get used to the burning and bitterness.

Kakashi smirked and let out a little breath out of air at their reactions. But it did seemed that Naruto was more immune to the sting of alcohol.

That thought had him pour another.

Kakashi had a lot of explaining to do and he didn't know where to start.

Well, the beginning is the maybe a good place.

So he started telling them his truth.

Naruto and Sasuke listened as Kakashi told them about the war, how his first crush died saving him. How he broke his crush promise and killed one of the closest people to him. How his sensei and his wife comforted him. About his first kiss, how he fell in love, about the person he fell in love with. How his sensei and his wife gave their approval for picking a lovely boy to date, although in secret. How they died not too long after and he wasn't allowed to take in their kid. How his lover comforted him. How he felt when that lover left him. About him stalking two little boys to keep them safe. About the council telling him if he continued he would be dealt with. How the third took sides with the council. How he quit the anbu thanks to Shikaku and Ibiki taking up for him. How he planted flowers on all of his loved ones graves. How Shikaku somehow managed to make him a team leader, how he got his two boys back.

By the time he was done Naruto and Sasuke was left speechless. Kakashi was such a strong person to go through all he did.

"Any questions?" Kakashi asked with a slight slur to his words that wasn't usually there. Whether that was because of the alcohol or his emotions, nobody knew.

"Way too many." Naruto said as he ran his hand through his hair.

Sasuke nodded in agreement, eyes distance as he listened to his sensei's pov of his brother. Itachi sounds so.... enchanting, like he was made of pure magic, in Kakashi's mind. Which, Sasuke couldn't blame him, Itachi was magical to him when he was younger too.

Kakashi reaches for the neck of the half empty bottle of sake and stands up. He is quite tipsy and doesn't want to say or do anything that he might regret later. (Telling them other things about Itachi, he gets horny when drunk and really doesn't want to get a boner in front of his innocent students)
