My Little Kuma || Kakashi x Reader

02 || Whole

Time flew by within seconds. Sometimes it felt as if you closed your eyes for a brief moment and everything passed you by.

A couple days had passed in the blink of an eye and you had to leave for the market. Minato had been assigned a mission, leaving you all alone. Unfortunately for you, he forgot to pick up some essentials before his departure. Naturally, the responsibility fell to you. You didn't mind - after all - you understood how busy Minato was. If you had to complete a few chores here and there it was alright.

Stepping outside your front door, you double check to make sure the door was locked. You grunted as you tried to push in the door.

Good! It was secure.

By habit, you took a few steps backwards only to collide with something behind you.

The smallest of sounds squeaked past your lips. "Huh?" Your reflexes kicked in and you spun around quickly (almost throwing yourself off balance). To your surprise, there behind you stood none other than your teammate Kakashi Hatake.

"Oops." The young boy rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Uh sorry about that (Y/n). I hate to bother you, but I have a question." The silver haired boy rocked on the balls of his feet. Was he . . . acting shy?

Very peculiar.

You softened your expression slightly and gazed upon his masked face, "Of course Kakashi! I'd be happy to help out!" Deep down you hoped that your change in tone would put the boy at ease.

Kakashi rocked on his heels a little and stared directly at the ground. A nervous habit you didn't know him to have. "I was wondering if you wanted to come to Ichiraku ramen with me. Stupid Might Guy said that I was a loner and I said that I would bring someone to prove that I'm not."

Though his mask covered the majority of his face, you could have sworn there was a slight tint of a red rising on the exposed part of his cheeks. A breeze gently blew ruffling his hair and causing him to swat at it.

You giggled a little at Kakashi, "Sure! I would love to go to Ichiraku with you! Can we go get some groceries first?"

He nodded his head enthusiastically, "Of course! Of course! Groceries! Let's go grab some! Thank you for coming with me! I really want to stick it to Guy!"

"Of course you do Kaka-baka."

Your joking nickname was met with a nudge to your ribs. You groaned quietly to yourself eliciting a small smile behind Kakashi's mask. It was . . . different to be playful with someone.

"Fine, fine! Kakashi it is . . . Kaka-baka."

Your poor neighbour was knocked over as you ran to escape a fuming mad Kakashi.

-💕-

"I'm sorry, but I had to throw you in the river. It just had to happen."

With a slight groan, you nudged your elbow into Kakashi's ribs. The boy groaned before continuing, "Seriously! If you were me, you would have done what I did too. You don't let opportunities go to waste!"

"Oh hush Kakashi! I don't need to be you to know I'm planning on throwing someone into the river later."

"Dead or alive," he chuckled.

"I'll let you choose your fate."

For once, it was actually nice. Spending time with Kakashi was always nice, but the two of you didn't do it often. How could you? There was never enough time to comfortably hang out. Either that or you were with Obito and Rin.
