Romantic Sentences, Vol. 2

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 pretending to be a couple for the sake of protecting each others own skin, protecting Naruto, letting Naruto have a chance at an actual childhood rather than live the life of a child soldier and all the way to where they were now. There were real feelings that dipped into their interactions now, it made things easier to sell to the civilians in this little place they had come to make their own too, in this place that these civilians had accepted them with open arms and looked after them as they were such a kind little family just trying to have their own place to survive and thrive.

It led them to this current moment and would surely lead to many more moments in the future too. This current moment though, Iruka holding his wrist and him looking between Iruka and the hand that holds his wrist so gently that he could barely pull and be free of that grasp. Iruka uttering words about wanting to see him when he wakes up every morning. Kakashi has made the couch his bed for the entire time they've been here so far, letting Iruka sleep in a bed that was easily big enough for the both of them. They weren't really a couple when this started but, they were navigating their way right into the territory of real for a bit now, this moment said that much too.

❝ I'll just wake you up. I have terrible nightmares. ❞ He's seen too many things not to have nightmares of them. Though, he's sure Iruka has his own nightmares, he's heard him get up and move about this little place that is starting to really feel like a home and not a hiding place. Knowing such a thing is what makes him slowly settle on the edge of the bed and reach up with his free hand to slide mask down off his face. Iruka sees his face daily when he disguises himself. Iruka can blend himself easier, Naruto can blend in easily enough too for the most part but Kakashi has a well known look that he has to disguise to blend in better amongst a town of civilians.

He breathes out, a long breath, the breath of a man giving into the wishes of the one he has come to care so much for. ❝ I don't mind sleeping on the couch, Iruka. ❞ He's giving the other male a chance to take back words, to escape the situation should he want to. Hand that had pulled mask down was now moving to brush pieces of hair from Iruka's face. He looked so handsome with his hair loose. Sharingan eye flutters open, burning the others current appearance into memory in the moment.

❝ you're not going to let my wrist go unless I lay down beside you on this bed right now, are you ? ❞ Again, he could easily slip wrist from grasp but he doesn't, he's a man who has already given in after all ( all he had to do was lay down beside the other male to prove that much which is what he slowly does next ). ❝ Well. I'm here now. But seriously, I am sorry if I have a nightmare and it wakes you up. I warned you. ❞
