My Next Door Neighbour (Kakashi x OC)

3 // Night At My Place

By the time it's past midnight, I'm still wide awake. I'm sure sleeping in this morning didn't help. I go out onto the balcony with a cup of tea and some biscuits that me and Kakashi bought earlier. A cool summer breeze blows though the air, making me shiver as it brushes against my bare arms and legs. Maybe wearing a large t-shirt and shorts was a bad idea since I'm outside.

I step back to stand in the doorway, sipping my tea and staring at the moon and the stars.

"Can't sleep either?" says a voice from the other side of the balcony. Startled, I spill my tea down the front of my shirt.

"Ow, fuck," I reply. "You've got to learn to be less stealthy when you're not on missions, Kakashi." I complain as he steps into view. He laughs at my commentary.

"Such gruesome language for a little lady like yourself," he mentions.

"Yeah, well this 'little lady' doesn't care, and I'm far from little," I retort, annoyed with him.

"Well you're still shorter than me," he comments. "I'll get you some more tea," he says, walking past me into my apartment. The wind moves the balcony doors. All of a sudden his door slams shut.

"What was that?" he asks from the kitchen.

"Your backdoor was closed by the wind," I answer.

"What!" he exclaims, worry in his voice.

"You heard me," I start. "Door's closed."

"No, you don't understand," he says, frantic. "My door automatically locks when it's closed."

"Oh, shit," I muster. Kakashi slumps onto one of the chairs in the kitchen as I close the balcony door.

"I'm locked out..." he whines.

"Well I guess you can spend the night here, but I don't think you'll fit on the sofa, I can't even fit." I state, lying on my bed and pulling the covers over myself.

"I guess we'll just have to share the bed, then," he replies, walking into the room and slipping under the covers with me. He lies on his side facing me.

"Hold up, I'm gonna fall off the bed." He says, pulling himself closer towards me. His arm moves to rest on my torso. "Do you mind? It's just that there's not much room..." I shake my head.

"It's cool, I understand." I shift positions, backing away from Kakashi to give the both of us more space.

His breathing is steady and calm, his face serene. I close my eyes, hoping for sleep to come to me. Though I still feel horribly awake.

An hour goes by, still nothing, but Kakashi is fast asleep. I sigh and he stirs in his slumber. I hold my breath and stop moving, hoping I don't wake him up. He's shifted so that his back is to me now. He starts mumbling incoherently in his sleep and rolls over to face me. However the space between us wasn't very large to begin with. My face is practically against his chest and my back is pressed up against the wall. His arm has been swung over to rest above my shoulder, blocking me from getting up.

"Kakashi..." I whisper wondering if he'll hear me. He doesn't move, I know I'm trapped here until he moves or wakes up.

His relaxed breathing and the continuity of his chest rising and falling somehow manages to calm me down and make me sleep.
