Kakashi x Reader [English]

Chapter 14

"Kakashi..." I called him on our way back after some moments of silence, still with my cheeks a bit hot from reminiscing the feeling of the cloth of his mask on my lips. He turned his face to me "Are we actually going to try the jacuzzi?" I asked him.

"Well there are still people out on the streets" he answered moving his look back to the front, although he still had his hand entwined with mine as we walked "And given the fact that we can't leave until everyone's asleep... Yeah, that was the idea" he answered as he opened the door to our suite "You can go first, I'll try it later" he added as he sat by the table.

"But, wouldn't it be weird?" I asked not understanding why didn't he want to do that together now "The jacuzzi is outdoors, and someone could see us. Wouldn't it be weird if we were alone?"

He seemed to give it some thought, almost as if he was battling something in his mind. And don't get me wrong, I truly asked that because I didn't understand why bothering on acting together even inside our room, but now wanting to go to the jacuzzi by ourselves. It just didn't sound logical.

"You're right" he said after a while, nodding "You can still get in first if you are more comfortable"

I nodded and went to the bathroom. I stripped down all my clothes and wrapped myself in a towel. I opened the door of the bedroom to the living room slightly, peeking my head out to see where Kakashi was waiting. There I found him facing another way so he wouldn't see me. I tiptoed from the bedroom to the garden until I dipped inside the warm and bubbly water of the wooden jacuzzi.

"Okay I'm in" I told him.

In no time he appeared with a towel around his lower part of the body and still a mask on. I would have taken in every detail from his ripped torso if it wasn't because I was too embarrassed to look at him. So instead, I shrank some more in the water as he got inside the jacuzzi as well, sitting in front of me and putting as much distance between our only towel-covered bodies. Only then I allowed myself to take a look at him, seeing him watch another way that wasn't me, which let me know he was probably as embarrassed as I was.

It wasn't until our eyes shyly and awkwardly met, that we, or at least I, started to finally relax a bit. Especially because of my head being almost the only thing that surfaced from the water.

"It's actually quite nice" I said leaning my head back slightly as I let the bubbles massage my body.

3rd person's POV:

Kakashi's eyes lingered on the droplets of water that slid down the cleavage of her bust, half covered by the towel and half covered by the bubbly water that only made them bounce a little, making his skin get warmer (and not exactly because of the jacuzzi). He forced his eyes up her neck so they'd get lost in her perfect facial features instead. She seemed more relaxed now, just like him who had now taken the liberty of leaning one of his arms over the edge of the jacuzzi. This moment just reminded him too much of a scene from one of his books. Which didn't help at all being near the woman he loved.

"W-what?" she stuttered blushing once she felt Kakashi's stare on her for too long.

He had been so engrossed on her that he didn't even realize her own eyes were now also on him.

"Can't I look at my beautiful wife?" he teased her, making her inevitably smile shyly as she turned her gaze somewhere else. Kakashi smiled faintly at her reaction.

"No" she added after a while with a slight giggle as she came closer to him and splashed some water so he'd stop staring.

He chuckled as well as he turned his face to the side in order not to get too wet, also preventing that from happening by gently grabbing (Y/n)'s wrist. Her eyes widened a little as she realized she had got caught and pulled towards him, leaving their faces really close to each other. But still, she couldn't help but have a small smile, similar to the hidden one from Kakashi. She couldn't see it, but there was something about what was visible of his face that let her know he was indeed smiling. They stayed like that for some minutes, the grip in (Y/n)'s wrist loosening although neither of them moved an inch away from each other.
