Red (Kakashi Hatake x Might Guy)

Chapter Thirteen

When they finally got to the Kazekage's building, Kakashi was terribly exhausted and stressed out about everything that had happened between him and Guy. So, he felt pretty dead as Gaara led them through the building to a relatively secluded hall with a few different rooms, Guy by his side, the redhead in front of them with Tenten by his side, and Neji, Lee, and Sakura standing behind them.

"There are five guestrooms that are available here, so since there are six of you, there will probably be two of you in one room. They're down that hallway, and you're free to help yourself to whatever you'd like. I would love to stay a little longer, but I have a lot of work to do," Gaara explained before turning to Tenten, smiling and pressing a kiss against her forehead. How sweet. Kakashi couldn't help but smile. "I hope you all enjoy your stay."

With that, he left, and everyone seemed to be debating which two would be sharing a room since there were only five. Deciding that he'd bite the bullet, Kakashi spoke first.
"Well, I guess me and Guy could share a room. I'm going to bed," He turned around, praying that he could get to one of the rooms and pass out before Guy even got in there so he would be able to avoid the conversation he knew the older man wanted to have, but of course, he wasn't that lucky.

Guy tossed an arm over his shoulder, and despite his conflicted thoughts, Kakashi found himself leaning into the touch.

"I'll come with you!" Guy grinned, and with that, they were off, leaving the kids to their own devices.

Kakashi opened the door of the first guest room that caught his eye, walking in with the older man following, shutting the door behind him. Kakashi pulled away and walked over to the bed- because of course there was only one- and sat down on the edge, looking up at the ceiling.

"So, Guy..."

"Rival!" Still cheery and somehow not picking up on Kakashi's mood, Guy flicked the bedroom light on and went to sit next to him, so close that their thighs were touching. Kakashi's heart was beating out of his chest. "Let me see your cut."

Honestly, Kakashi didn't want to take his mask off again. He didn't want Guy to see his face, didn't want Guy to see him without one of his many forms of protection again. The thought of being around Guy maskless made him petrified, but the secret about them being soulmates was out, so he knew that there wasn't any point in hiding. With a shaky sigh, he grabbed the top of his mask, pulling it down his face.

It was weird to have Guy stare at him like that. The ravenette's gaze was trained on his face where his lip had been cut, and after a few seconds passed, he rested a hand on the silver-haired man's cheek, gently brushing his thumb over the healed cut.

"Does it look that bad?" He asked, tilting his head.

"No, but it's definitely gonna scar," Guy pulled his hand away from Kakashi's face. "You're just... Really handsome! I can't believe you hid such a pretty face for all these years."
The praise had his face burning red, part of him wondering about everything that had happened recently, along with everything else. Was this what a relationship with Guy would be like? All the things and time he already enjoyed with the older man, but... More open? He was scared, petrified, but God he wanted nothing more than to be with Guy like that. He wanted to be loved like that, to be looked at like that, to be praised like that every day.

Kakashi could only shake his head, standing up and pulling his headband off, as well as his mask, Jonin jacket, shirt, shoes, and pants, allowing them to fall to the floor. He and Guy had known each other since they were children, had slept in the same bed during missions plenty of times, so he wasn't necessarily bashful when it came to the state of dress he slept in- even when he could feel Guy's intense stare on him, just in his boxers as he crawled underneath the covers and rested his head on one of the two pillows.

"I know you probably want to talk, but let's just go to sleep for now..." Kakashi allowed his eyes to fall shut, his heartbeat so loud that he could hear it in his own ears. A few minutes later, the bed creaked, and Guy was laying down next to him. While Kakashi was on his back, the ravenette was on his side, resting his weight on one elbow and facing the silver-haired man. "If that's okay with you, anyway..." Kakashi trailed off, opening his eyes to look up at the older man. "We can talk in the morning. I'm really just exhausted and I don't think now's a good time for this discussion."

"Kakashi-"

"I know, I've already been putting it off for twenty years," Kakashi muttered, frowning and turning to face his soulmate, both of them now laying on their sides. "You don't have to tell me that."

"It won't hurt to wait another day. I was going to tell you that you need to rest," Guy explained, sighing and tossing an arm over Kakashi's waist, surprisingly calm about the entire situation. "It's okay. Go to sleep."

It was a nice feeling; Guy's strong arm over his waist, their legs entangled, the taller man's body so much warmer than Kakashi's own. The silver-haired man couldn't help but think that he could get used to this, but also that he wanted so much more.

"If you're gonna hold me, do it," In a display of bravery, he made direct eye contact with his soulmate, surprised when the older man pulled him in all the way. It was simple at first, just the arm around Kakashi's waist pulling him into the ravenette's body heat. "Oh."

But then, Guy's hand was resting on his lower back, gently rubbing up and down, and his lips were pressed against the former Anbu's. Kakashi blinked, curling his hands up and resting them against Guy's chest as he relished in the feeling of their lips melting into each other. Guy tasted like tea and something floral that he couldn't quite identify, sweet and refreshing; everything Kakashi had ever wanted.

Finally, his soulmate pulled away.

"Better?" Might asked, seemingly out of breath, and for a moment, Kakashi could only nod.

"Much better," Kakashi managed to muster an answer after a few seconds too long, leaning in and resting his forehead against Guy's shoulder to hide his blush. "Night, Guy."

"Good night, Kakashi."
