Gravity

Might Guy

Mr. Kidnapper had been dropping in and out of Kakashi's apartment for the past few weeks, usually with bought baked goods, handing them over as if they were some sacrificial offering. He didn't stick around for long, and Kakashi didn't mind the visits. In fact he appreciated them. He did tell Mr. Kidnapper if he'd be away on a mission with the pups, but otherwise things were working out fine. Mr. Kidnapper never alerted anyone, nor caused any trouble. He was just simply there to keep Kakashi company in the apartment.

And to sometimes have amazing sex with.

"You have an appointment with the doctor today?" Mr. Kidnapper frowned at the note stuck to his fridge.

"Yeah, Lord Third gave me that appointment yesterday and ordered me to get my first scan after I see the pups off to their exam." Kakashi smirked. "I've been avoiding all topics about the baby with the council, so now they're throwing a fit."

Mr. Kidnapper snorted. "Driving them crazy?"

"Doing my best." Kakashi grinned.

"Are you..." Mr. Kidnapper hesitated. "You will see the baby?"

"Yeah." Kakashi rubbed his arm nervously. "Worried?"

"Nervous." Mr. Kidnapper approached him, brushing his hair back with his hand. "How about you?"

"Same. But I just have to do my best to stay calm." Kakashi breathed in deeply. "Not that the pups are helpful with that. I swear, their team work got worse and I can barely tolerate it with my hormones acting up."

Mr. Kidnapper chuckled. "You'll handle it. You always do."

"I'd prefer strawberry cake. Yeah, strawberry cake and dangos."

"Those are your cravings now?" Mr. Kidnapper startled. "I knew about the dangos-"

"I had the most amazing slice of strawberry cake with my tea at a nice bakery at the other side of town." Kakashi beamed. "It was delicious!"

"You've become such a sweet tooth," Mr. Kidnapper nuzzled him, wrapping his arms around his waist.

Kakashi huffed. "I can't even button up my trousers anymore. I had to go up a size. I don't like it!"

"You told me it's good to gain some weight during a pregnancy," Mr. Kidnapper soothed, rubbing his back in small circles.

Kakashi settled against his chest. "Yes, but I didn't think it would be this early. My body is changing and I can barely keep up. And I'm always tired. I could sleep for a week and I swear I'll be exhausted still."

Mr. Kidnapper shifted his mask to plant a kiss on his hair. "You've been doing amazing, Kakashi."

"You're always complimenting me." Kakashi rolled his eyes. "You baby me too much."

Mr. Kidnapper purred. "You deserve compliments. Brave, sweet, amazing, Kakashi. My brave, sweet, amazing, Kakashi."

Kakashi flushed. "Fine, I'm blushing. You can stop now," Kakashi pleaded.

"I'll get you to accept compliments yet."

"Good luck with that," Kakashi snorted.

"Well, at least Kakashi's team saw through the genjutsu," Tenten said, smiling warmly.

"That hardly makes them a challenge," Neji scoffed.

"I want to fight..." Lee sulked, hanging limply in Neji's grasp as he dragged him along the floor by his shirt.

Neji had grabbed him the moment Lee tried to go after Kakashi's kids, dragging him back in line. Tenten nearly cried in relief. The idiot had been the first to suggest they lay low, then of course was the first to blow it.
