Kakashi x Reader [English]

Chapter 11

The next day was really similar to the last one. Kakashi and (Y/n) spent the morning walking around the village, hand in hand, while innocently asking people about the village and weird events. And just like last night, when the sun was set and the moon was on top of the sky, they both put aside the kimonos to put on their ninja outfits. They went to check what (Y/n)'s kagebunshins had thought strange, only to find they were normal bars that had frequent drunk quarrels. So again, they had to go home empty-handed, not having any lead even though it was their 3rd day already.

It was now really early in the morning, almost even dawn, when Kakashi woke up to something moving, or rather fidgeting, next to him. He rubbed his eyes and leaned his body on his side, turning to see what should be (Y/n) sleeping. But instead of finding the beautifully peacefully asleep girl, he found a huddled and trembling (Y/n). At the realization of why was he feeling something next to him he woke up instantly, a bit worried as to why was she shivering. He got close to her back, and not only he saw her trembling more, but also her expression being seemingly in pain. With a frown he moved his hand to hers, which was in a fist. 'So cold' he thought to himself as he felt her hand freezing after enveloping it in his own. She seemed to shrink more, making Kakashi's worried expression twitched some more.

Not knowing what to do, and not wanting to let her freezing there, he did the only thing he could think of: getting his body close to her, embracing her with his own body in hopes of warming her. He enveloped her with his arms, pulling her closer to his chest and pressing her against him, really trapping her in him while even his legs wrapped slightly around hers. He pressed his cheek and lips against the top of her head, feeling her still shaking. The more she shook the more he worried, which also meant he'd hug her tighter yet softer. He moved his cheek and legs slightly, trying to caress her and make slight warmth from the friction, but it didn't seem to work. 'What if she's sick?' he started thinking about her not feeling well 'That'd make the mission longer. It'd be inconvenient' he kept thinking, trying to avoid the fact that he was more worried about her well-being than the duration of the mission in itself. 

Seeing how she kept shivering he moved his bigger and warmer hand to hers, intertwining his fingers with her and almost trying to be able to control the warmth that emanated from his body because of how badly he wanted her to stop trembling. So after a while without any change, a light lit up in his mind. He carefully got up and went to the wardrobe of the bedroom where he started to rummage through the things trying to make the less sound possible in order not to wake her up, until he found what he was looking for: another duvet. He took it out and laid it over her, tucking her carefully with it, and then tucking himself on her back so she'd still have the warmth of his body. Then, before holding her hand again he checked her temperature. 'She hasn't got any fever. She should stop being cold soon...' he tried to rationalize why was she cold and why would she, supposedly, stop quivering soon. After checking her temperature he hugged her again, but this time he couldn't grab her hand because (Y/n) had turned around in her sleep, moving and snuggling closer to him. To the source of warmth that had started to calm her in her sleep. This time it was him who froze a bit due to (Y/n) hugging him like the biggest teddy bear. As if he was the biggest life savior, or the only fire in the middle of a storm of snow. He didn't expect her to turn around, but it still wasn't that what had shocked him, neither were her hands clutching his body or her face hiding in his chest. What had surprised him was how undeniably good it felt to have her snuggling closer to him. Only he wished it was under different circumstances. He hesitated for a moment, still a bit nervous at the beginning for having her so close to him, but only before he realized he had actually been doing the exact same thing. Kakashi wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer by her back and head, soon relaxing as he felt her stop shivering. Once she seemed to be sleeping placidly again he felt himself falling asleep too, now actually feeling amazingly comfortable with (Y/n)'s body in between his arms and (Y/n)'s smaller hands resting on him.
