Naruto One-Shot (Yaoi)

First time for everything

Kakashi was just sitting at a table outside a little tea shop-minding his own business-with his father and his sensei when Itachi showed up. He's just been poking at the remnants of whipped cream from his milkshake with the leftover stem from the maraschino cherry that had come on top. His father and Minato were chatting about something Kakashi wasn't really listening to when Itachi sauntered up to the table, a prepared insult ready to fall from his lips as soon as he was acknowledged.

Kakashi sighed to himself, wondering if the other boy would just go away if he didn't acknowledge his existence. Maybe he'd get bored of staring at him and just leave without saying anything, because he surely wouldn't speak until Kakashi gave him his full attention. Alas, that would never happen though; Kakashi just wasn't that lucky. Knowing the Uchiha, he'd just continue to stand there, waiting for Kakashi to look up at him, no matter how awkward the atmosphere became.

"Good afternoon, Hatake-sama, Namikaze-sama, Kakashi-kun," Itachi greeted them all politely, nodding to each person in turn.

Sakumo and Minato nodded back at the boy, falling silent and sitting back to watch the show. Kakashi and Itachi never failed to deliver the goods.

"What do you want, Uchiha? Here with a new insult?" Kakashi drawled, fixing the Uchiha with a lazy stare. If Itachi wanted to have a quipping match, that was fine with Kakashi. He was never afraid of losing such a thing to the younger boy. When it came to insults, Itachi had nothing on Kakashi; the boy was brought up to be much too classy to win that kind of fight.

"In fact I am," Itachi replied coolly, looking smug as usual.

"Let's hear it then," Kakashi said, sounding bored but expectant.

"You are degenerate and base, Hatake Kakashi, and if you spend word for word with me, I shall make your wit bankrupt," he said evenly, standing straight and regal as every good Uchiha should.

"Hm..." Kakashi hummed, turning that over in his head. "I must say I'm impressed, Uchiha," he said after a moment, "Did you come up with that all on your own? Or did one of your idiot cousins help you?"

"Hn. Not quite," the boy answered simply, waiting for Kakashi's replying insult.

"Isn't that Shakespeare?" Sakumo asked before Kakashi could even open his mouth to retort. "The Two Men of Verona, right? Wonderful play."

"Since when do you like Shakespeare?" Minato asked skeptically, frowning at the man. "Or go to see plays?"

"Meh...went to see the play with Kakashi's mother once...it was rather funny, actually. I was just as taken aback at how much I liked it as you are," Sakumo said with a grin.

Minato and Sakumo shared an ironic laugh together, and Kakashi grinned up at the Uchiha who was frowning slightly at being found out.

"Can't even come up with your own insults, Uchiha? Gotta steal them from a dead guy? Now who's degenerate and base?" he said smugly, leaning forward and resting his chin on his knuckles.

Itachi glared at him for a moment, but then a smirk lighted his face. "Maybe I stole it, but at least I'm intelligent enough not to be impressed by a stolen insult from Shakespeare. It's not like it wasn't blatantly Shakespearean. Even your idiot father noticed."

"Well..." Sakumo said, feigning offense, but the chuckle that leaked from him gave away his amusement. Maybe his son would actually defend him...it'd be a miracle.

Kakashi grunted. "Are you sure you want to bring our fathers into this, Uchiha? I should think that'd be a bad move on your part, seeing as though your father is a cold, abusive, war-monger, who is no more a father than a cat o' nine tails. And what has my father ever done for you to question his intelligence? He's practically a sannin, in line to be Hokage, and a village hero; more-much more-than anyone could say for your father, a man so pathetic he was surpassed by his son before he even hit puberty." Kakashi sat back in his chair and amusedly watched the Uchiha squirm while he tried to think of something equally scathing to say back.
