It seems as if it'll be another one of those nights where the ink dries onto paper yet his bleary vision has the words blurring together into a gradient over parchment. Didn't help that the few candles left burning only supplied some light, straining his only eye through the succumbing darkness.

He breaks from his work. These dockets can be reviewed in the morning before he marks the wrong grid square with his signature and cause a tumble of bureaucracy fixing his one mistake. Kakashi learned from the first ( and hopefully last ) time.

Lounging back into this seat, he pinches between his brows, squeezing out the ache that's been troubling him all night. The considerable effort it would take to carry his sluggish body home did not become him in this moment. In fact, it sounded more alluring to waste away here for the evening, tuck some pillows under neck, and sleep.

He should do better... But better can be next time.

" There's no need, you can take the bed, " he insisted. No chivalrous part of him found it illogical for his mission charge here to sleep out in the living room like that, even if she was used to it.

The whistle of leaves singing their song to the carry of humid wind and all the chimes hanging from every corner post. The memory was vivid as day, nearly regressing Kakashi back to a time where the world was bleak, fruitless, and held no demand for his living presence. Kira was there, sectioned to his side in an outfit no different than his own, all expression hidden away beneath a porcelain mask.

The image faded as quickly as it came, leaving the sight of a slightly worn inn with the ambience of passersby.

" Seems some things really don't change, " he commented, if nothing to disperse the silence.

Locking the door behind them, he went ahead and performed his usual routine of checking, re-checking, and obsessing over the safety of this very public space. No lock, door, window, nor crevice untouched by him or a sort of trip alarm he fashioned into the architecture.

" Do you need my help with anything? " He thought to offer, should she want it.

Kira's eyes practically sparkled hearing that her remembered, blissfully unaware that he hadn't, well, not really. Then she had to lightly bite her lip to keep from smiling too much when he said they should make the day worth it.

"I suppose we should." She agreed with a certain tone of nostalgia and knowing.

She took a wistful look up at him with her hands clasped behind her back, bending forward slightly before moving so she was in front of him, walking backwards. "I managed to snag our room. The pretty one you hated." She joked with a gleam in her eyes. "But I'll be sleeping on the couch this time, lest you get any ideas." She teased with a cheeky wink, then turned around once more and led him into the quaint village.

Eventually she led him across a bridge that led to the beautiful multi-storied inn. As they'd been posing as a newlywed couple during that mission, they'd had the honeymoon suite, complete with a private onsen adjacent to the large bedroom. Needless to say it was no surprise the mood had been set so easily.

Yet, it wasn't just any man who could have captivated Kira. She'd admired her superior for quite some time, and in more ways than one.

With the hotel key in hand, she led them upstairs to the suite and opened the door. It was just as she remembered and it filled her heart with a bitter sweet feeling that soon turned into a flutter of butterflies, remembering the many ways he'd gotten her heart racing that night.

Who's Hotter? White Haired Boys

[rafasbiscuits]

Listen. White haired depressed anime characters. You agree.

When Iruka entered the Hokage office, Hound was already there, standing at attention. He looked at him, and then at the Hokage, but said nothing.

The Sandaime, however, explained to Iruka that he was to go the north-west border of the country, near takigakure, to bring back a scroll with border patrol reports.

However, he continued, the last report had been lost, and the chunin that carried the mission was missing in action. In theory, this was supposed to be a C-rank, but the reality was that it was B-rank, possibly more. For this reason, Hound would be shadowing him. He was to carry out the mission as if he didn't know the ANBU was there, and defer to his orders if necessary.

"Any questions?" the man asked in the end.

Hound shifted uncomfortably.

Rough ideas of how I picture Obito & Kakashi in Among Ice & Snow

[hatredcurse]

Invading Kumogakure was a more daunting task than Kakashi perceived it to be. When the upper leads wrote it down, filing it no higher than an A-rank, the Hatake anticipated a light challenge with no great risk.

Now, he found himself struggling up on clay shingles, trying to slice his sights through the thickly fogged area below. Intel suggested that their target was being held in a hostage safehouse somewhere beneath the city road, but on foot, Kakashi and his teammate here were too conspicuous; too out of place.

Withholding a choice curse word, he peered back to Rin, his eyes very conveniently evading hers, but still staying near her face. " We'll have to drop lower to get a good view of the outlet, " he said, in a way ,subtly asking her for any suggestions she might have.

"Who's Hotter?" Battle of the White Haired Characters

[hatredcurse]

" Yeah. "

No need to skirt around it. Wordlessly, Kakashi slipped inside and away from the cold, closing the door behind him with a turn of the lock. He hands the gift over, which is surprisingly ( or disappointedly, depending ) light.

Inside was a more modern styled kimono jacket, deep jade with black trim. Sitting on top of the folded garment was a gold chain with a pendant that hooks somewhere along the cloth belt.

" I travelled to Iwa for it, " he said, not facing her, instead chasing the sights out the window, slowly obscuring at the edges with snowfall.

@hatredcurse sent: Old habits never seem to die. If they died ' hard ', the repentant must have died with them because Kakashi could not help his terrible manners of rasping his knuckles at the dead of night on the door of his former kouhai's home. Snow powdered the dark sleeves of his worn fatigues, but at least he had the decency to ditch the flak jacket for this slightly more formal meeting. In his hands carried a present ( red paper with a silver ribbon ), hanging down by his thigh as he waited, praying the Ryuuketsu was inside.

While these late-night house calls between them weren't unheard of, it was quite a surprise to find the Copy Ninja appeared to be in good health this time when Chitose opened the door. A night owl due to profession, she often had difficulty acclimating to a normal sleep schedule when given days off duty, like today on Christmas Eve.

"Hello, Hatake-san, this is quite unexpected. Is everything alright?" She asks, amber eyes traveling from head to toe.

Instead of signs of injury or illness, she sees the wrapped gift at his side, and her expression softens as she meets his dark gaze.

"Is that for me? "

As soon as he sees Kakashi, he's throwing his arms up in a little cheer. His cheeks are a little red but not from the heat, from the bit he'd had to drink with a few work colleagues. "Ka-ka-shi~!"

Kakashi had been walking towards his own apartment after a challenge with Gai. He had discarded the usual uniform in favor of a short-sleeved one.

He tilted his head when Iruka appeared and cheered. "Well, hello there."
