Here For You - Kakashi Hatake x OC

Chapter 13: Heat

*Normal POV*

It had been a few days since I woke up. I had regained my energy and health, though not fully, but I was more than eager to get out of the dreaded hospital and go home with Kakashi. He had been beside me the whole time, he never left. I was very grateful to him for doing that. I wished he knew how I felt about him. I didn't know if he understood that I let him kill me because I loved him so much, and that I could never harm him, ever. I thanked the nurse who had been regularly checking on me as I left the hospital with Kakashi.

I had never been this happy to see the apartment complex. Kakashi helped me up the stairs and into my apartment. I sighed happily as I entered, the familiar smell welcoming me back. I wanted to change my clothes badly. "Kashi, I'm going to change," I told him. He nodded and smirked, "Do you need any help?" He winked at me. I must have been a deep, beet red at that moment. "Perv," I muttered and he laughed. "The offer still stands," He called after me as I entered my room. I dug out some fresh clothes and gladly put them on, enjoying the feeling of clean fabric and the scent of laundry detergent on my skin. I came out and joined Kakashi in the kitchen. He was fussing around with something, but I couldn't really see what he was doing. It was in that moment that I remembered the mental note I had made: Buy food. I groaned, "Kakashi, I need to go buy groceries." He turned to me, "Why?" I stared at him stupidly, "Because I like having something to eat." He laughed and opened the fridge, "I restocked it for you. I thought you'd appreciate it when you got back." I scratched the back of my head, "That's really sweet, thanks so much, Kashi. I'm going to have to pay you back..." I trailed off, searching for my wallet. "No, no, no, no, no. I will not take your money," He picked me up and sat me down on the couch, "Consider it your 'Get Well Soon' present. Now sit still while I make breakfast." He smiled his closed-eye smile and went back to fussing around in the kitchen. I did as I was told, I sat there.

I tried to think, but the temperature had risen drastically as the scorching spring sun poured into the apartment. It was too hot to think, it was too hot to do anything. The heat was always bad here in Konoha, even in the springtime. So I merely sat there, tugging at my shirt a bit, trying to cool off. I closed my eyes and held my forehead with my hand. "Katsi?" I suddenly heard Kakashi's voice. I looked up at him and my breath hitched. He was setting down a few plates on the table, and he was shirtless. I bit my lip as I stared at his defined six-pack, his pecs, which glistened in the sunlight, his muscular shoulders and arms. I tried my hardest to stifle the upcoming nosebleed, but I knew that I'd fail. "Yes, I-I uhm, I'll be right there," I stammered and went to the bathroom as calmly as I could so he wouldn't be suspicious. I tried to catch my breath as I frantically tried to stop my nosebleed. I mentally prayed that he didn't notice anything. But how was I supposed to go out there now? To sit with him at my table, with him shirtless. I understood that it was really hot, but damn, why did he have to be so hot? (LIKE FOR MY PUNNY PUNS <3333). I heard soft knocking on the door. Oh no. "Katsi, are you alright?" He asked. I knew he was concerned. "Yes, I'm fine, Kashi, sorry, just... Lady problems." I lied. That usually seemed to scare men away. "Uhh, o-okay, s-sure," He stuttered and I heard him leave. I had to stop myself from laughing, his reaction was truly priceless. Now I just had to figure out how to sit with him while he was shirtless. I splashed my face with cold water and rubbed my eyes. The nosebleed had subsided, thank goodness. I kept my hands under the cold water for a bit longer and then I walked out to face my worst nightmare, a half-naked Kakashi Hatake.

I sat down at the table across from him. He smiled at me, "I made you pancakes." I grinned appreciatively, "Thanks, Kashi." I put a few pancakes on my plate and tried to keep my eyes away from him. I think he noticed and he asked me again, "Are you okay?" I sighed and said, "I'm okay, it's just overwhelmingly hot in here." I wasn't completely lying. I felt the need to change out of my sticky top and bra, so I excused myself, telling him that I wanted to change. I sighed in relief as a stood in my bedroom, peeling off my shirt and tossing my bra away. I settled on a lightweight crop top and went back to join Kakashi.

*Kakashi's POV*

I threw my head back as I waited for Katsumi to return. The heat was killing me. Fanning myself with my hand didn't work at all. Katsumi didn't really help the whole "Try not to boil alive" situation as she walked back in, showing more skin than I had ever seen her show. I guess we had never really had such humid days before. Her outfit of choice showed off her flat stomach and thin waist. It was very hard to peel my eyes off of her. Especially when she sat down, and I noticed she wasn't wearing a bra. I mentally groaned as I felt my pants tighten. "So, can we eat now?" I asked quickly. She nodded and I grabbed a few pancakes and turned away. I pulled down my mask and hastily tried to stop the blood flowing from my nose. Did she really have to be that sexy when it was this humid? I was planning on talking to her today, but the heat made me think I wouldn't live through the day if I moved too much. I wanted her to be mine, badly. I wanted to kiss her, touch her. My mind wandered into more perverted thoughts. I thought longingly of the things I wanted to do to her and I shuddered a bit. You can't really blame me, I'm a 21-year-old virgin, my hormones are going crazy, and it just so happens that the love of my life is extremely sexy. I really wanted to tell her how I felt about her and just get it all off of my chest.

Maybe I'll do that.
