I knocked on his door, "Sensei?" I called out. Of course, there was no need to actually refer to him by that title, but I had done it for years, ever since he had become a Jounin. I'd grown up with Kakashi, it was more of an inside joke for us now. I had been meeting with him every evening for the last month, we had been training, he was teaching me a new ninjutsu. He was going to help me learn Chidori since I had a lightning chakra nature.

I knocked again since there was no answer, "Coming," I heard him yell back this time. It also sounded like a lot of stuff was being knocked over. I could tell he was right outside the door, he was breathing heavily. He opened the door slightly and I saw one of his dark eyes through the crack. It was his left eye, his one with the sharingan. Kakashi looked stressed from the little bit that I could see.

"Everything alright?" I asked, I couldn't help but feel odd seeing how stressed he looked.

"Y/N, You're early, and you're here?" he said in a questioning manner.

"Well, you're always late, so I decided I would be early and we could practice here today!" I said energetically.

"Uhhh, give me a few minutes," Kakashi said as he shut the door.

I was utterly confused, the man I had known the last few years was always calm, and collected, did me being early really throw him off this much. I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes, and waited for him to finish whatever he was doing. I completely zoned out.

"Y/N?" Kakashi said, suddenly appearing behind me. It was one of those things about him, he was so quiet.

I jumped slightly. "What caused you to freak earlier?" I asked.

"Sorry about that," Kakashi said before pausing, "I was just really unprepared for you to show up," he said with his sweet smile, his eyes both closed. I couldn't help but smile back, that smile of his was so contagious.

"Well, in the future, I won't do so," I smiled at him, "I didn't mean to freak you out."

"No, really, it's alright, you can come in," Kakashi said as he opened up his body, motioning me inside. I went with his gesture, and he followed after me, shutting the door. I looked around his apartment. It was larger than it looked from the outside, and much to my surprise it was kept very clean, which was something I would have never expected from Kakashi. He was always late, and unorganized, so being a neat freak was just an odd thing to think about. Kakashi watched me as I looked around.

"Am I being judged?" He said with a chuckle.

"Of course not, who would judge the copy ninja?" I said with a grin.

He smiled back at me, and then something behind me caught his attention and he grabbed my shoulder and pushed past me. He crossed the room quickly to a couch and was sitting down with his back pressed against the corner as if he was hiding something. Well not, "as if", I could definitely tell he was hiding something, sometimes I think he forgot we've been friends since we were 6.

"What's that behind your back?" I asked.

"Nothing, you know," he said with a grin.

"Uh, huh, sure, you've been acting real mysterious, actually ever since I've arrived you've been acting weird."

"I have not," he objected.

"Sure," I said as I rolled my eyes.

I continued walking through the house, I wanted to let Kakashi get away with whatever he was hiding. I walked from his living room to his kitchen, now this room seemed to break his clean trend. The kitchen had dirty dishes everywhere, and food on the counter. I couldn't help but wonder when he last did his dishes.

Kakashi tapped my shoulder, "Alright, now I'm being judged."

"Do you know how to do dishes, this is crazy," I said disgustedly, yet also impressed that he had this many dirty dishes.

"I guess, I don't, you'll have to show me," Kakashi said in that alluring tone he was so talented at.

"Whatever, you're ridiculous," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Time for the student to show the teacher," Kakashi said sitting down at the bar. He motioned towards me and pointed at the dishes.

I couldn't believe this guy. He acted like a child sometimes. I turned towards his sink, and picked up one single dish, I held it in front of him sort of like a model, "you first start by grabbing a single plate like this one," I said moving it around, then you turn on the water." I turned back around and turned the sink on.

"I'm learning so much, teach me more sensei," Kakashi said in a mocking way. He couldn't even wipe his grin off of his face.

"The next step is adding soap to the plate, like this," I grabbed the bottle of soap and squeezed some out onto the plate. I grabbed the scrubbie brush that was sitting to the left of the soap bottle and started to scrub the remaining food off of the plate. "Wow, that's crazy," I said. "The food seems to come off of the plate when I wash it."

"I'm learning so much," Kakashi said.

I sighed, and then soaked my hands under the running water and flicked them at Kakashi. "Oh, now, I've lost my towel."

Kakashi wiped the water off of his face, "wow, funny." Kakashi's face went from a neutral state to a straight grin, "you best be glad, I'm the student and not the sensei."

"Oh, and what if you were the sensei, what would you do Kakashi?" I said, throwing his kind of game right back at him.

"Why are you asking?" Kakashi questioned me.

Honestly I didn't have an answer for him, I didn't know what I was hoping to achieve here, I mean, me and Kakashi had been friends for years, but he could never see me as more than a friend, that was just a childish dream of mine.

"I didn't give you speaking permission," I said as I rolled my eyes.

He scoffed, and complied, he looked at me waiting for me to continue with my lecture on dish washing. I sat down the clean plate and turned off the sink and then bowed in front of him.

"Your turn," I said, stepping out of his way.

Kakashi got up from his chair and walked around the bar, and walked over to the sink, next to where I was standing. He picked up a dirty dish. He looked at me with a look that almost said, "what next." He just stood there and waited for me to make a move. I decided to be bold. I stood behind him and guided his arms. I knew he knew what he was doing, but he just wanted to be a pain.

"Oh wow, I'm so grateful for your help," Kakashi said tauntingly. "I have the honor of being your student."

I wrapped my hands around his, and then used his hand to turn on the water. My hands were so small in comparison to his, and his were so gentle and warm. I did my best not to blush. I also picked up a plate, and then helped him to wash it before setting it aside to try. I stepped back from him and hoped he wouldn't notice me blushing.

Kakashi shook his hands off in the sink. "I washed the dish, what now sensei y/n," he said with his stupidly attractive grin.

I just deeply exhaled, "Kakashi, what are you trying to achieve?" I tried to not make eye contact with him and just look down. I couldn't tell if he was playing with my feelings or he was legit.

"I'm not trying to achieve anything," Kakashi said innocently.

I turned away from him and started walking towards the other room, and then he grabbed my wrist. "Wait, please." I turned to look him straight in the eyes, he seemed sincere. "I've blown my chance many times, but this time I won't," he stepped closer to me. He brought his face closer to mine and I closed my eyes, "open your eyes," he said softly, "watch."

He did what I had wished he'd do for years. He pressed his lips against mine, and he kissed me gently. His lips were gentle. He wrapped his hands around my waist, and pulled me even closer to him.

He stopped kissing me for a moment, and placed his head near my ear and said quickly, "I'm sorry it took me so long."

I didn't speak but instead laid my head against his chest, he moved his arms from my waist to my back and hugged me tightly.

"I love you y/n," he mumbled as he kissed my neck.

"I love you too, Kakashi," I said as I stood up on my tippy toes to kiss him.
