Your POV

You were woken again, but this time it was the sound of mumbling coming from the other side of the wall. You rushed out of bed as you heard Kakashi's Chakra frequency. It was in a frenzy. You ran out of your apartment and rushed into Kakashi's; to your relief his door wasn't locked. You rushed to his room and quickly pushed open the sliding door. You looked towards Kakashi's bed and saw him laying on his back. His covers were thrown messily off the bed and Kakashi was sweating and breathing heavily. You went over to him and climbed onto the bed and began shaking him and calling his name.

"Kakashi." You said shaking him as he squirmed and kept mumbling incoherently. "Kakashi!" you said louder shaking him even harder trying to get him to wake up. "KAKASHI!" you yelled giving him one last shake.

Kakashi sprung up, gasping for air, and his head hit you right in the middle of your forehead making you fall back. You listened to Kakashi's erratic breathing, trying to come back to your senses. 'My goodness he has a hard head.' you thought as you sat up.

"Ow.." you said looking up at him. Kakashi froze for a moment before he reached out to you. His shaking hand slowly inching it's way closer to you.

"(f/n)" he said quietly with a raspy and cracking voice. His hand making contact with the skin of your face, touching you softly, almost as if he were trying to figure out whether or not you were really there.

"Are you alright Kakashi?" you asked touching his had as it moved to your collar bone.

You waited for his response, but nothing came. He simply kept looking at you through lidded eyes. You noticed that he wasn't wearing his head band nor was he wearing his mask so you could see his entire face. You had to admit, he was very handsome. He seemed to be in a daze so you moved closer to him and called his name again.

"Kakashi," you said quietly, " are you alright?"

His head lowered at your question. You could see his face scrunch together, his eyes closing , as if he were fighting the urge to cry. He slowly shook his head,

"I'm sorry." he said in a low sad tone.

"Sorrow for what?" you asked, you could tell that he was still in a daze and probably still thought he was dreaming.

"I...I didn't ...I.." you didn't understand what he was trying to say, and you noticed his body begin to shake.

"Kakashi, it's alright. It's over your not dreaming anymore." You said in a soothing voice crawling closer to the man until you were siting between his legs, rubbing the side of his arm.

At first he flinched at your touch but he soon relaxed, taking a deep breath and lifting his arm to touch the hand that was rubbing his arm.

"Thank you, (f/n)." Kakashi said taking a deep breathe.

"No need to thank me." you stated, patting him on the head. Seeing that he was alright you moved away from Kakashi and got off his bed, heading for the door. " Well, I'll give you sometime alone," you said pushing the door open, "If you need anythi-" You felt arms wrap around your shoulders. Kakashi tilted his head until his lips where almost touching your ear.

"Um....K-kakashi, let-"

"Stay." he said tightening his grip on you. You could hear a slight tremble in his voice.

"I...I can't..Kakashi, let go." You said.

"Don't leave." He pleaded.

You stood there silently the spoke, "Ok." you said' unable to say no. As you closed the door, Kakashi slowly released you and you turned to look at him. He looked more relaxed, his breathing was calming and he was no longer shaking. You noticed that his hair was messy, so you reached up and ran your fingers through his soft white hair in an attempt to smooth it out. Kakashi chuckled at your actions and grabbed your hands, bringing them down until they were resting on his cheek. He watched you for a few moments before he spoke,

"Would you like a pair of my pants?" he smirked; he had a beautiful smile.

You paused for a second, not understanding what he was talking about. Then your eyes went wide and you quickly looked at what you were wearing. You were wearing a really loose tank top that showed alot of your bra and shorts. Seeing the look on your face Kakashi laughed,

"Actually, a shirt would be better wouldn't it?" He laughed.

Your face went scarlet and you hit Kakashi in the arm and stormed towards his bed, quickly crawling in and cocooning yourself in the cover; facing away from him. Kakashi followed after you.He slid next to you and tapped on your shoulder.

"(f/n) I need some covers too." He laughed pulling the covers off of you with ease. After he was situated under the covers, he turned towards you.

"Hey (f/n)," He said leaning over you so he could see your face. You didn't look at him but you knew he was smiling. " Thank you." he said sweetly before laying a kiss on your cheek. You got up, just as he was laying back down, shocked. Your hand touching the spot where he kissed you. He laid on his back and look up at you, smiling.

"As I said before, no need to thank me," you said laying back down and turning so you were facing him. He grabbed you by your waist and pulled you closer to him until your head was resting on his chest. You ran your hand across his bare chest; just now realizing that he wasn't wearing a shirt. You listened to the sound of his heart, counting the beats.

"Kakashi," you started

"hmmm?" he responded. You looked up at him and saw that he was already looking at you through lidded eyes, but he didn't seem tired.

"Do you...mind if I asked about your dream?" you asked, immediately feeling Kakashi's muscles stiffen.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I apologize for asking such a thing." you felt stupid for asking him about his nightmare, but you did want to know. What was it that made Kakashi so scared?

There was a long pause before Kakashi spoke,

"I'll tell you..." He said, " but not right now." He turned towards you so that you were looking into each others eyes.

"Ok." he nodded and closed his eyes. Now it was your turn to to stare. You stared at his face. He was very handsome and his face had no scars of blemishes other than the scar over his eye, which made you wonder why he hid his face all the time. Suddenly Kakashi's right eye opened, catching you.

"Like what you see?" He chuckled.

"No, I was just wondering why you wear a mask." You said looking away from him, but he gently captured your face, making you look at him again.

"No reason." he stated circling his thumb over your cheek.

"Then why wear a mask if you don't have a reason for wearing it?" you asked raising an eyebrow.

"So many questions." he said smiling.

"Oh sorry, I'm bothering you aren't I." you said.

"Not at all." he said closing his eyes again, his breathes becoming steady. He was falling asleep.

Watching him fall asleep made you sleepy as well. You scooted closer to him and snuggled yourself close to his warm body. He, in turn, wrapped his arms around your form. And the two of you drifted into the world of blissful dreams together.
