Kakagai?

Who cooks: Most days it's Gai. He has the energy and the drive, and he loves being in the kitchen. On days that Kakashi has the energy to do it though, he likes to cook. To give Gai a break from the kitchen for a little bit.

Who does the laundry and other chores: Both of them. They both like a clean and organized home, so they work together to make sure that their place is exactly how they like it. if it starts getting too messy because they've been so busy with training and missions, they use a day off to just clean the whole place.

How many children do they have: One. (biological). Kakashi doesn't want any more than that.

Who’s more dominate: Kakashi. Their relationship is one of the few areas he feels like he can take control without screwing everything up royally, largely because he knows Gai will tell him if he's doing something wrong.

Favorite nonsexual activity: Reading together. Sometimes this litterally involves just laying on a couch together reading. Sometimes Kakashi will read his book while sitting on Gai's back as he's doing push ups. It doesn't matter to them. Just being close and being able to enjoy the silence together is good for them.

Their favorite place to be together: The Sushi place. they always have the best food, and the two of them don't get weird looks when they have a competition because everyone's used to their shit.

Any traditions: Going to festivals together, and specificlly going to see the fireworks on new years eve together. Kakashi has a tradition of always being the first person to wish Gai a happy birthday, and he'll be grumpy about it for a year if he's not (trust him. Asuma beat him to it once and Kakashi glared at him for the entire year. he never made that mistake again)

Their “song”: War by Icon for Hire. Kakashi will not take complaints from his husband about this. It's just how it is.

What they do for each other on holidays: Gai always takes his time picking out a present for Kakashi and planning out a nice day together. Dinner, a walk, maybe a challenge. It's a whole day for them to spend together so long as they don't have a mission. Kakashi's much simpler. He picks out a present for Gai (and it takes him months to find the perfect one) and then lets Gai control what they do for the day. He knows how much effort Gai puts into the day, so he wants to let him have that. Let him lead the way and decide what they'll be doing together.

Where did they go for their honeymoon: They didn't go on a honeymoon. At least not officially. They got married after the war when Kakashi was hokage, so they couldn't really go away. It wasn't until Kakashi retired that they finally went on a honeymoon, and poor Mirai got sent with them. (But at least she got a cute girlfriend out of the deal)

Where did they first meet: The Academy XD

Any pets: Do the Ninkin and Ningame count?

What do they fight over: Challenges and Dinner. Sometimes Gai wants to make Curry, and Kakashi hates curry. He does not want, and it can devolve into an argument until Kakashi decides to just make himself something so Gai can have his deadly spicy curry.

Do they go on vacations, if so where: All the time. Their friends complain about how many vacations they go on once they're both retired (before that they rarely had a chance for a vacation, so they're making up for lost time). They often like to visit new villages and see festivals if they can, but they also like doing hot springs vacations.

86 or 94 for kakagai

94.) “I think you’re amazing…even if I don’t say it much, I really do. The things you do…”

(Rated T for blood and injury. Under the cut for the length.)

Kakashi stood in the middle of Gai’s apartment, wondering why his feet led him here instead of his own apartment. He was wounded and in a strange state of mind after his latest mission. The last thing he remembered was being debriefed quickly and told to go to the hospital.

Instead he was here, bleeding all over Gai’s favorite rug and staring off in space. He was startled when the overhead light flickered on.

“Kakashi?” Gai was standing next to the light switch, his eyes still full of sleep.

The Copy Nin just nodded, not knowing what to do now that he had regained awareness of his situation. His left hand was pressed against his stomach, the ANBU vest was little cover for the blade that he couldn’t maneuver away from.

Gai gave him a once over and then motioned for Kakashi to follow him to the bathroom. The Copy Nin moved slowly, the pain now entering in the forefront of his mind. Gai already had the medical kit open and ready.

“Sit on the toilet seat and I’ll help you take the vest off.” Gai didn’t sound annoyed, but Kakashi knew the man was good at hiding it. Kakashi followed directions and waited to see if Gai was able to fix him.

“Kakashi, you should be at the hospital.”

“I don’t know why I’m here.” Kakashi spoke softly, he told the truth. Gai hummed and investigated the wound.

“It’s not too bad. I can stitch you up but you have to go see a doctor tomorrow.” Gai was stern but gentle. Kakashi watched Gai work, only wincing when towards the end. After he was stitched up Gai told him to wash the dirt off and he’ll bandage Kakashi when he gets out of the shower.

Kakashi just stood under the hot water, letting the tension from the mission wash away with the dirt and sweat. He tried to think of why he’d just come straight to Gai’s apartment when his was just a few doors down, but nothing came to mind. When he finished his shower he stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist.

Gai was waiting outside the door for the shower to turn off. A soon as Kakashi opened the door Gai went to wrapping Kakashi’s wound and giving him low dose pain medication.

“Have you eaten?” Gai asked as he passed Kakashi a pair of sleep pants. Kakashi put them on and shook his head. Gai left the room and Kakashi sat at the edge of Gai’s bed taking in the situation. He felt bad for waking the man up, he knew Gai had a mission tomorrow. A few minutes later Gai called him out into the kitchen. The Copy Nin made his way out, noticing the rug was rolled up against the wall, probably put there until Gai could clean it.

Gai had made him some food, it wasn’t much but Kakashi was surviving on rations and chakra pills. He accepted it gratefully, even if it was leftover spicy curry. Gai sat opposite, watching Kakashi eat.

“I’m sorry for waking you and bleeding all over your floor.” Kakashi spoke after he ate.

“Don’t worry about it. I’d rather you be here than like that by yourself.” Gai smiled and took the plate away.

“I mean it. Not many people would be okay with a bleeding ANBU in their house.”

“This isn’t the first time Kakashi. You come here often, confused and hurt.” Gai was washing the dish, he didn’t see the bewildered look on the Copy Nin’s face.

“What?”

“Whenever you get back from a bad mission you always come here. I think you just need someone to help you or to offer something a hospital can’t give you.” Gai settled back down next to Kakashi.

“Thank you for helping me.”

“I’ll always help you.” Gai put a hand on Kakashi’s back and then stood up. “Now let's go to bed. You can sleep with me. Just in case your stitches break.”

Kakashi couldn’t sleep. He had too much on his mind.

“You’re thinking too loud.” Gai shifted in the bed, facing Kakashi.

“I’m sorry I can’t stop thinking about things.”

“Yeah?”

“You know, I think you’re amazing…even if I don’t say it much, I really do. The things you do…” Kakashi wanted to list everything Gai has done for him but Gai cut him off.

“It’s okay. I know you’d do the same for me.”

“This is different.” Waking up to seeing a bleeding man and not even batting an eye, not just once but on multiple occasions. The care he's given Kakashi had a different feeling, an underlying something that he couldn't put his finger on.

“It’s called love Kakashi.”

The Copy Nin glanced at Gai, reading his expression and the look in man’s eyes. He wasn’t lying. Kakashi thought about all the times he felt this same feeling and he smiled.

“Love.”

Gai returned the smile and carefully pulled Kakashi closer. He was warm and inviting and Kakashi took the moment to bask in it.

10) who usually makes dinner? + kakagai

I feel like it is a shared duty. Like if Kakashi were making dinner all the time Gai would never get spicy food that was properly made spicy in the process (it's not the same adding spice after the fact) but if Gai always made the food Kakashi would find hinself eating curry a lot more than he'd like

So they definitly split the task so that they both get a happy dose of their fav foods, but when it comes to cooking for others it's always Gai because Kakashi refuses to put effort into cooking for more than just him and Gai unless someone promises him something in return (if gai wants him to cook for his team, he promises cuddles and sex. When Yamato wants Kakashi to treat team 7 just...just once, please omg, he promises Kakashi that he'll take care of Naruto's training the next day)

I got this really stupid Kakagai fic idea where Kakashi suffers from night terrors(thanks to his ANBU days) and Gai's solution to helping him is making a spicy omelette and somehow it just puts him at ease every time. Like there's nothing Gai puts in it that would cause him to calm down, its just a regular spicy omelette and its not even that good.
