Here For You - Kakashi Hatake x OC

Chapter 14: Sweet Nothings

*Normal POV*

The insane humidity had subsided the next day. Though it was still pretty hot. I woke up feeling much better than I had the day before. I was still a bit sleepy and I didn't quite want to get up. I thought about yesterday, how Kakashi had taken me home, and how he had made me pancakes without a shirt on. I thought about what he had looked like yesterday. I wondered what it would feel like, to press my own body against his, to feel his lips on my own. My hand wandered to my southern area and my other hand crawled under my shirt, my fingers playing with my nipples. I pictured him doing unspeakable things to me as I felt hot and wet in between my legs. I played with myself, imagining Kakashi doing the things I so longed for him to do. I bit my lip hard to stop my moans from escaping my mouth. I closed my eyes and saw Kakashi kissing my lips, then kissing down my neck, kissing lower, down my breasts, and lower, trailing down my stomach, and lower...

Knock knock.

I thought I was going to scream in that moment, at whoever was at the door, to go away and come back another time. I stood up, trying to ignore the fire in between my legs, and opening the door. "Kashi, what's up?" I said a bit too bitterly. I instantly regretted it, but I was irritated that I didn't get to finish my business. I squirmed around, trying to calm the pain in between my legs. Unfortunately, this did not go unnoticed. "Uhm, are you okay? You're acting strange," He scratched the back of his neck. "It's like I told you yesterday. Lady problems. Come in, I'll be right back." I let him in and painfully made my way to the bathroom. It's just like Kakashi to interrupt my only sense of release in such a long time. I growled as I cleaned myself off and changed my underwear.

Kakakshi was sitting on the couch when I returned, looking worried. He stood up immediately, "Are you feeling okay? Should I take you to the hospital? Or did I do something to hurt you?" I laughed and went up to hug him. I guess he wasn't expecting that, although he hugged back after a moment, "I'm okay, Kashi, really. I'm sorry about snapping at you earlier. I'm just a little tired." I smiled up at him reassuringly and he nodded, his previously pained expression relaxing. "Well, I'm glad you're feeling okay. That's very good, because I'm going to have to take you with me," He finished with his famous closed-eye smile. I raised an eyebrow as he gestured for me to follow him out of the apartment. "Where are we going?" He looked nervous, and kept looking around, but tried to mask his uncertainty from me by smiling and saying, "You'll see."

"What are you up to, Hatake?" I asked for what seemed like the hundredth time. He looked hurt, "You never call me by my last name." I tried to fix it by poking him, "Sorry, Kashi, you're just acting kind of jumpy, so I thought that would get your attention, since you've ignored the last six times I've asked you what was going on." He sighed, "It's a surprise," He whispered in my ear, which made me shiver. I hoped he didn't see that. I was going insane with my feelings of affection for Kakashi. Someday, I would have to force myself to just tell him everything, even though he would probably never feel the same for me. But I was afraid of ruining our friendship by telling him how I felt.

I was deep in thought before I noticed that we had come to our secretive place hidden in the trees, by the stream. I smiled at him as he spoke, "I thought you might like to come here. There's a lot of shade and a cool stream so you wouldn't feel as hot as you would at home." That was very thoughtful of him. I grinned at him widely, "Thanks, Kashi, you always know how to make me feel better." He gave me his closed-eye smile. I slipped my shoes off and let out a sigh of relief as I lowered my legs into the stream. I leaned back on my arms and closed my eyes. I always felt so relaxed here. I sat like that for a while, and I wasn't really sure what Kakashi was doing, but I really didn't want to open my eyes to look. I'm such a good friend.

"Katsumi," He suddenly broke the silence. I look up at him with wide eyes. He hadn't called me by my full name in about 10 years. "Is everything okay?" I frowned at him. He fidgeted, avoiding my gaze. "Kashi?" I knew something must be wrong. He would never call me by my full name if it wasn't something very important. I waited patiently until he spoke.

"Katsi, I've wanted to tell you something for the longest time," He started awkwardly. I didn't know what he wanted to say, so I nodded, encouraging him to continue, "I've been telling myself that I could just tell you for so long, but I never had the guts." Didn't have the guts? What was he talking about? He was Kakashi Hatake. What did he have to be nervous about? "And then, when you had to go to the hospital and you wouldn't wake up, I couldn't stop beating myself up about it, knowing that I might not have the chance to ever tell you... You would never have known. That week you were out, I was so lost. It just made me realize even more how much impact you have had on me and my life. I missed you so much," I smiled at him, "But I'm here now, I'm back." "I know, which is why I have to tell you this now, before I chicken out again," He took a really deep breath and I watched him intently. "Katsi..." He looked into my eyes now.

"I love you."

My heart was racing. Did I really just hear that? Was this a dream? "Y-you... You what now?" I stammered shockingly. He laughed, "I love you. It's so much easier to say it after I told you the first time!" He smiled a closed-eye smile, "I love you, Katsi, I've loved you for as long as I can remember. You are the most amazing, wonderful, strong, intelligent, supportive, and, might I add, extremely beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on. I love you so strongly, I would do anything for you, to protect you and make you happy." I felt blood rush to my head as I stared at him. He loved me. It was the only thing I wanted and now, I had it. I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

"I love you, too," I whispered back, "I love you so much."

He seemed to be happy with my answer. He slowly inched closer to me. I reached up to his face and gently placed my fingers on my seam of his mask. I looked at him, as if asking for permission, and he nodded. I slowly pulled his mask down, revealing his nose, cheeks, lips and chin. Needless to say, he was extremely handsome. I had always tried to picture what he looked like under his mask, but I never would have imagined that he was this good-looking. He placed his hand on my cheek and we both leaned in, our foreheads and noses touching, looking into each other's eyes. I closed my eyes as his lips met mine. My first kiss. His too, probably. It felt amazingly magical. I immersed myself into a world of bliss as I wrapped my arms around his neck, a world only me and Kakashi would know. We parted from each other, foreheads still touching, and smiled. "I've wanted to do that for so long," He said quietly. "I've wanted for you to do that for so long," We laughed. He put his arm around me as we sat there, staring at the clear, flowing water. "You're very handsome, you know," I confessed to him. He laughed and kissed my cheek.

"I know."
