Could u write about Kakashi coming home from a long mission and see Anko sleeping with a tiny baby bump ty<3

ANON, MY DEAR FRIEND!! I am writing this fluff thanks to yooooou!

Edit: IM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG!! I hit a writing funk for like two years 🥺🥺 But here’s the fic!!

Ficlet under read more~

Kakashi had always thought he'd be used to long missions away from Konoha. It gave him some quiet time, away from everyone, to reflect on his past and things he could do for his future.

But, this time around, he has someone waiting for him at home. Someone he's happy to call his significant other, despite them only doing so in private. Kakashi's still happy all the same, regardless.

It has been a long three and a half months and while the mission was successful, he just wanted to go home and embrace the woman he grew to love even more while being away.

"Anko..." he breathed and decided to pick up the pace to make it home by morning. A faint smile formed under his mask as he jumped from branch to branch. Hopefully, she'd be happy to see him too.

xXx

As the sun light broke over the horizon, Kakashi crossed the gate into Konoha. He skid to a stop, faint dust picking up behind him, and took a moment to catch his breath. The silver-haired Jonin glanced over to his left and saw the guardsmen. Nodding his head in hello, Kakashi took in one last breath and calmly walked the rest of the distance to see her... to see Anko Mitarashi.

While they both haven't been sending each other messages via hawk, snake, or hound, Kakashi knew that Anko was fine... right? At least, he hoped. Truth be told, not hearing anything for those three and half months made him a bit nervous. Things were fine between them. They had to be.

Soon enough, he saw her apartment coming up and jumped the rest of the distance to her door step. Since it was so early, he opted to using the key she gave him and slipped in quietly. Once entered, he took off his sandals, backpack, and discarded his flak jacket. Kakashi decided to say good morning to her before he decided to take a shower (thankfully he has some toiletries at her place) and removed his headband. Blinking to restore some sense of vision in his Sharingan eye, he sighed then made a beeline to Anko's room.

He cracked the door open and smiled at the sight of her. His eyes travelled along her body and came to rest on... "Huh?" he whispered and tiptoed to see her closer.

The blankets were resting at her hips and left a soft mound exposed on her abdomen. Had she put on some weight? he thought to himself. No where else seemed so… plump. Her face was still slender as were her arms and thighs.

But her belly? He shook his head. Even if she did put on some weight, he loved her all the same! Kakashi’s gaze traveled back up to her sleepy features and he smiled once again. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

This caused her to stir. An eye opened up blearily and suddenly both eyes shot open when she realized who was in her room. “‘Kashi?” she mumbled tiredly. “You’re home already?” Anko stretched and carefully contorted herself to sit up. She pulled the blanket up and ended up not bringing up her belly. “I thought you weren’t coming home til the end of the week?”

Kakashi shrugged and stretched as well. “Mission ended up ending earlier. So I made a beeline here.”

She smirked. “I can tell, go shower.”

He laughed and lowered his mask, then he felt the need to get serious. “Are you okay?” Kakashi asked gaze going towards her abdomen.

Anko blushed and looked away. “Yeah… I am. I’m perfectly healthy still,” she mumbled. “I’m just pregnant.”

“Ah.” Kakashi stood to head to the bathroom then stopped in his tracks. The Jonin immediately turned around, eyes wide as saucers. “Wait, pregnant?!”

“Yeah? I mean, we did do it right before you left on your mission.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Anko shuffled a bit uncomfortably. “Because I didn’t want to distract you from the mission..?” She felt like she was getting scolded and she groaned. “Plus I didn’t feel this would have been appropriate to, ya know, just send through hawk or dog mail.”

“Pregnant,” Kakashi trailed off and padded over to Anko once again. He looked to her for permission and once he received a nod from her, he lowered the blanket and placed a hand on her belly. “Woah.”

“Our baby is growing in there.” Anko looked to Kakashi to try and gauge his reaction. “Just letting you know, you’re not leaving me, ever. This is your kid too, and you’re stuck with the both of us.”

His gaze went to Anko’s chocolate brown irises. “I would never plan on it. You’re both stuck with me too.”

A prompt for you: Phoenix and Maya attend Trucy and Pearl's high school graduation together.

Ooh, fascinating idea, anon! Let's see what I can do with this~

slight edit: Link to the fic on ao3!

-----

The alarm blared right in his ear. It is Friday and there are no cases to investigate for, no trials to be had. So, why did he have an alarm on for six in the morning? Phoenix would have pressed snooze to sleep in longer but that was not going to happen.

As soon as his finger pressed the snooze button, two figures entered his and Maya's room and immediately jumped on top of his side of the bed, and even him.

"Oof!" Phoenix gruffed out and groaned groggily. "G'mornin'," he mumbled and blearily opened an eye to see Trucy and Pearl staring at him.

"Daddy! It's time to get up! It's graduation day!" Trucy grinned as she silently yelled at her father, not wanting to disturb Maya who was still sleeping. "Mama needs to get up soon too..." she mumbled and rested her chin on Phoenix's raised leg. Pearl giggled softly and peered over Phoenix to see Maya on her side, snoring softly. "The pregnancy must be taking a toll on her if she's still sleeping through this," she whispered and glanced over to Phoenix.

Phoenix couldn't help but feel some pang of guilt... despite knowing that they both wanted this. He just didn't expect her to fall pregnant with twins right off the bat. With a sigh, he motioned the girls to move off of him and he sat up. "You both finish getting ready. I'll get ready then get Maya up when I'm done."

The girls nodded then dashed out of the room.

xXx

Maya ended up waking up as soon as Phoenix was in the shower and opted to join him to freshen up (and to wake up as well). She played nice and decided to not rile him up since they're technically on a time crunch for both Trucy and Pearl's high school graduation.

After the shower, they both finished getting dressed, Phoenix decided to wear just a plain light powder blue dress-shirt with this sleeves rolled up and a pair of dark blue jeans. Maya on the other hand wore a white t-shirt with a light purple maternity over-all sun dress. She looked over herself in the mirror and sighed softly.

Phoenix took note of this. "Everything okay, Maya?"

She grumbled and tried to suck in her belly a bit, but to no avail. "I'm fine, just feeling a bit fat right now." Maya rubbed at her large belly and sighed again. "Can't they just come out now? I'm tired of being pregnant."

He couldn't help but chuckle gently. "You say that now, but you know for a fact that once they're out, you're going to miss them being in there."

Maya's eyes narrowed. "Fair point. This is all your fault, you know."

"My dear, it takes two to tango," was all Phoenix said in reply. "Now come on, we can't let those two be late for their graduation."

"Yeah, yeah."

xXx

The graduation is a bit of a strange one this year. While Trucy attended the local high school, Pearl did not. Pearl actually attended the continuation school near the office so she too can get an education. Thankfully, she was homeschooled, but that can only get her so far. Kurain was not exactly suited for "higher" education as some of the elders put it. So with Phoenix's help, Pearl was enrolled and sped through the courses since she was such a fast learner. Both schools decided to merge their graduations so families can see their teens graduate together rather than picking and choosing.

Once they arrived at LA High, the girls went off to find their classes while Phoenix and Maya went to where the families were made to sit. They arrived at a decent time and found open toward the middle aisle where they both knew the girls would walk down to get their diplomas (and also in case Maya had to get up to use the restroom at any point during the ceremony).

Phoenix breathed out gently and tried to keep his emotions in check about the two girls. No use getting worked up since he knew Maya would also be an emotional mess. But... It felt like only yesterday he met Pearl and also took in Trucy. He glanced over to Maya as she adjusted her sunglasses to just above her bangs. Her gaze caught him staring at her.

"What?" she asked innocently.

He shook his head and smiled gently back at her. "Nothing. Just thinking about the girls and how different our life would be without them. Well... at least without Trucy." His glossy eyes almost gave him away.

She noticed his glossy eyes, but didn't say anything about it. "Our life is going to be even more different once these two are out," Maya replied with a grin. "For better or worst, I think we'll be okay, no matter what."

Phoenix took her left hand and marveled at the wedding ring on her ring finger. He placed a soft kiss there. "For better or worst," he replied and waited for the graduation ceremony to begin.

xXx

The ceremony was beautiful and went by rather quick. Both graduating classes were somewhat small. Once it was all said and done, Phoenix and Maya held hand as they got up and went to find their graduated girls and give their congratulations. They did not have to search long because as soon as they rounded a corner, Phoenix was tackled and hugged by Trucy and Pearl.

"Daddy! Mama! We did it! I can't believe it's finally over!"

"Mr. Nick!! Mystic Maya! Thank you for helping me!"

Phoenix and Maya both laughed. Maya joined in on the hug as best as she can, maneuvering her belly so she can hug them tightly. "You girls did this all on your own! We're so proud of you both!" Maya grinned and kissed the top of their heads.

Seeing his little family brought a tear to his eye. Phoenix wiped at his eyes quickly and coughed into his fist. "I think it's time to celebrate! Where do you girls want to go? We can go anywhere you want to!"

Trucy and Pearl looked to each other and grinned. "Korean Barbecue!" they both said in unison.

Maya cheered alongside them and tugged at her husband's shirt. "Let's go, Nick!"

He chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, let's go!"

i can't go on living this way

Early ANBU Kakashi x Rei sparring match in the rain got a little ~heated.~

[the-creative-lounge-blog]

Brilliant in the Sunlight

Summary: Tobirama's not sure who it was or how they did it, but when he figures it out, there'll be hell to pay!

WC: 821

Rating: G

Tobirama actually grimaced when he saw his armour. There was no help for it, though, he needed it for team training this morning. He indulged in a hefty sigh. When he found out who was responsible…

🔹️🔹️🔹️

Hizuren, Koharu, and Homura were all already at the training ground when he arrived. He hoped they were working on their situational awareness, but it seemed equally likely that they were simply lying in wait for his arrival. There was a moment of (hopefully shocked) silence, then all three children burst into giggles. At least Koharu had the decency to try and hide her giggles behind her hand…

🔹️🔹️🔹️

Tobirama was undecided whether he prefered to think his prankster knew about the council meeting right after team training this morning or not. As soon as the children disappeared towards their homes, he indulged in his second grimace of the day—he would not have time to go home and change. Even if he left the armour in his office, it had surely already infected the clothing underneath. He shored up his mental defences and decided that Hiraishin was definitely the best way to get to his office in the administration building. At least he would be able to bypass the general public, and his state would be a rumour only. With his reputation, such was likely to be dismissed by the public at large…

🔹️🔹️🔹️

All eyes were fixed on him the instant he walked through the meeting room door. He kept his face carefully blank even as Hashirama turned red from laughter. He feet the distinctive spike of chakra that came from Madara activating his sharingan. The Nara clan head merely raised an eyebrow. The Hyuga head keeps his face as blank as Tobirama's own, but his chakra took on a tone of judgement and disapproval.

Tobirama took his seat and didn't bother waiting for his anija to calm down, or begin the meeting in his own time as was proper. He just wanted out of here as soon as possible. He glanced at the first item on the agenda.

“Nara-sama, would you please update us on the plans for the village mission ranking system…?”

🔹️🔹️🔹️

Tobirama had hoped to escape to home immediately after the meeting so he could Hiraishin home to change, and possibly disappear into his lab for the rest of forever. His luck, however, was still against him, and lzuna was waiting right outside the meeting room door when they finally adjourned.

“Tobirama! Just who I wanted to see! Let's go for a spar!”

It wasn't their usual time to spar, and lzuna's voice held the edge of mockery that told Tobirama that a) he'd heard about Tobirama's predicament somewhere already, and b) he wanted to make sure as many people witnessed it as possible.

“Unfortunately, I have a previous engagement.”

“Nonsense! I stopped by your office to find you first! This meeting was the last thing on your agenda!”

Tobirama was going to fire his assistant for letting lzuna anywhere near his desk…

🔹️🔹️🔹️

The spar with Izuna was good for two things: lzuna made an excellent target for today's frustrations, and his armour was actually <i>cleaner</i> by the end of it.

“Let's head to that new Akimichi barbeque place for lunch! I know you haven't had a chance to eat yet,” Izuna suggested.

The condition of Tobirama's armour was actually of benefit here because Izuna wouldn't throw his arm over Tobirama's shoulders to force the issue. Not that there would usually be anything to force. Which meant there was opportunity here.

Tobirama’s mouth tilted into a smirk, “I'll meet you there.”

He hiraishined home before Izuna could react.

🔹️🔹️🔹️

Safety was not yet to be had—Mito and Tōka were having tea on the engawa when he arrived. Clearly, trying to keep any more mess out of his personal rooms was a mistake.

“Tobi-chan! You're looking swanky today!” Tōka teased before he could storm off into his rooms, mess be damned.

He chose not to say anything, just flipped her off as he stomped passed. Mito remained blessedly silent…

🔹️🔹️🔹️

One advantage to living in the clan head's home was the addition of a private bathroom within his own suite of rooms. Tobirama slipped silently through the corridors, all mercifully empty, straight there and disposed of all his clothing into the tub.

It didn't matter how careful he was, all the shinobi skills in the world couldn't keep the glitter someone had covered his armour with from cascading all over the floor, the sink, the towels, his brush…

When he found out who had managed to cover his armour in bright blue glitter, there would be hell to pay. He smirked—a larger, more evil smirk than the one he'd given Izuna. This would be an excellent chance to test his self-replicating seals. His target would determine if they'd be filled with glitter… or paperwork.

A good portion of this community is dedicated to content creators who work with different mediums. That's by design. We inspire one another and often collaborate. I hope The Lounge makes it easier to do both!

There's also room in here to play. I'm arranging the ability to stream art and video games in here, as well as host virtual tabletop games (these adventures are fantastic fodder for art, animation, stories, and audio works)!

Art and storytelling have been part of the human experience since our beginnings. They withstand disease, war, natural and unnatural catastrophes, and most impressively, time. Be proud of what you contribute.

Community Rules & Guidelines:
