KakaGai Valentine 2025: For better or worse

Kakashi knew well his ninken were getting old. He could see it in their slow stretches in the mornings. In their white hairs around the muzzle and the eyes. In the way they sometimes preferred to stay home instead of going for a long walk in the forest.

And that was fine. All his dogs were retired now, just as he was. They deserved to rest as much as they wanted.

What he was not ready for, though, were the consequences of old age in them.

The first time he noticed something was off with Uhei was when he didn’t jump energetically off the bed for a morning walk. Instead, he stayed on the empty space where Gai’s body had been until a few hours before. The ninken was awake, but his attention was on one of his back legs, licking it carefully.

“Is everything ok, Uhei?” he wondered, petting the dog in the head.

The rest of the pack had already left the room, probably running into the back garden to relieve themselves. Hearing his name, the hound stopped his movements to look at Kakashi.

“I’m good, boss” he said. “I think my leg cramped from the posture while I was sleeping.”

As if trying to prove his point, Uhei got up and stretched before jumping down the bed, walking in an apparently normal way. Believing the ninken’s words —it was a plausible explanation, after all—, the Hatake just nodded and continued with his morning as normal.

Later, Kakashi faced a scene he had never seen before. Biscuit and Guruko had their faces inside of Uhei’s bowl, liking it clean without a second thought.

To comprehend the rarity of this event, one has to first understand that his hounds were voracious, and very respectful with each other’s food in order to avoid discussions among the pack. Above all that, they were also trained to wait until their food was served and they had been given permission before start eating, as well as leaving when they were done so Kakashi could take care of the cleaning. Therefore, the image in front of him was rather disturbing.

“What exactly are you two doing?” he asked with an inquisitive eyebrow up.

Guruko and Biscuit whimpered when exposed, their small heads leaving the empty plate with only a half-apologetic look.

“Hey, boss” Biscuit said, tail wagging timidly. “Um… Uhei said he was not hungry, so we could take his breakfast, see? You can ask him, he’ll tell you.”

That made him frown, as with the amount of exercise they had done through the morning —adapted to their all age—, all ninken should be hungry enough for breakfast. And Uhei especially could be anxious when eating due to past trauma. He sighed.

“Alright, off with you two” he shooed them out of the kitchen. “If you keep eating like that you’ll end up round as balls.”

“Very happy balls, boss!” Guruko barked as they left the room.

The Hatake shook his head, knowing better than trying to correct the two little demons. Instead, he picked up all the plates and started to clean.

He was unable to find Uhei back in the garden with the rest of the pack, which led him to use his nose and track him back to the bed he shared with Gai. The greyhound was laying down in an almost perfect circle, his head over the right back leg, licking the knee.

“Will you tell me now what is going on?” Kakashi asked, leaning on the doorframe. “This is the first time in all our years together that you allow any of the others to take your food.”

The ninken lifted his head up in surprise, as if he hadn’t noticed he was there. Which would be also a first and only increased the Hatake’s worry.

“Oh, boss” Uhei whined. “Yeah, I’m just not very hungry this morning, that’s all.”

“Umm…” he hummed. “How long has your leg been giving you problems?”

The ninken looked away.

“Come on, Uhei, I know when you’re in pain.”

“Is not that bad, boss. Just… It really started to annoy me a couple of days ago.”

Kakashi sighed.

“I’m taking you to the vet, it’s not negotiable.”

Any other dog —especially Biscuit or Guruko— would have attempted to run away. Not Uhei. He was not a fan of the vet more than Kakashi was of the hospitals, but he tended to accept his fate easier than the other ninkens. So, instead he just whined and rested his head against the bed, body completely still as the Hatake came to pick him up.

Of course, Uhei had other ways to show up how little he wanted to go to the vet. At the moment, it was by letting his body be a dead weight so he had to put more effort in picking him up. Not caring about the drama, Kakashi walked back to the garden without any fuss, looking for his other dogs.

“Guys, I’m taking Uhei to the Inuzuka’s” he called, seven head turning to him immediately. “Stay here and tell Gai where I am if he comes back earlier.”

“Everything alright, boss?” Pakkun asked, coming closer and smelling the air. “You didn’t tell us anything was wrong, Uhei.”

“It’s just my leg” the ninken whined. “Probably nothing.”

“Yeah, well, I’m not risking it” Kakashi pointed out. “We’ll hopefully be back soon.”

The walk towards Hana’s house didn’t take more than fifteen minutes, which was perfect when you had eight dogs and several tortoises living with you. The place smelled like animals and hospital even from outside, which made sense considering half of the house was a clinic.

Knocking at the door was rather difficult with Uhei’s head falling dramatically over his hands, but he refused to acknowledge the theatrics of his dog, and so he managed at the end.

“Kakashi-san? This is a surprise” Hana answered after a few minutes, two big ninken behind her. “Did we have an appointment?”

“No no, this is just a consult” he clarified with a smile under the mask. “Can we pass?”

“You’re just lucky that the client I had now was called in for a mission” she smiled. “Come on in and tell me what is going on.”

During the last couple of years he had visit the clinic several times, all his ninken receiving at least a yearly analysis and general check out even if retired. The same went for Gai’s tortoises, although with their longevity they had little to worry about yet.

The Hatake moved confidently through the corridor and into the second door to the right, where the consult had been stablished and he was able to leave Uhei on a metallic table, where he laid down once again.

“Do you want to tell her, or should I?” he asked his dog, sending him a knowingly look.

The ninken sighed before start talking.

“My right back leg has been giving me pain for some time” he admitted. “It was nothing too much, but recently it has become more annoying and hurts when walking and especially getting up.”

Hana listened carefully to the explanation, nodding through it and waiting until the end before putting on some gloves and coming next to the table.

“Ok, let me check.”

Uhei nodded with a whine, resting his head on the cool metal and giving the kunoichi access to the extremity. Her hands covered every bit of skin from the hip to the toes, stopping for a second in the knee on their way back. Kakashi saw her pressing his fingers around there for a couple of minutes and a subtle but still noticeable sign of concern appearing in her features. Next, she turned on a small flashlight she carried and checked closely the fur and skin. When she stepped back, Hana was biting her lower lip and the Hatake was starting to seriously worry.

“There is a small mass in the knee, most likely from the bone” she said, looking at him and then at Uhei. “Your skin there is turning red due to the licking and if you continue it could develop in a sore, but that is not what worries me… I would like to do a radiography and maybe take a biopsy.”

“Do you think I fractured it and didn’t notice?” the hound wondered, head bent to the side.

“It could be a possibility, yes” Hana nodded, even if her features evidenced she was thinking of something else. “The radiography will clarify things.”

When her eyes settled on Kakashi, he just nodded.

“Go ahead, whatever you need.”

As Uhei didn’t oppose either, Hana took him away to another room for the study. The next few minutes were long for the Hatake, moving around the room and visually checking all the materials around to entertain his mind. In the last few years he had become rather good at keeping his brain busy and away from intrusive thoughts, but moments like those could be a trigger impossible to control.

“Here we are” the kunoichi said about ten minutes later, bringing Uhei back to the table. “You were a good dog. I wish normal dogs behaved as well as ninken.”

The greyhound smiled at the compliment, tail moving happily against the metal.

“What do you see in the results?” Kakashi anxiously asked, a hand coming to pet his ninken.

“They just came into the computer here, so we’ll see now.”

As Hana sat down behind the desk, her hands started to move with precision over the keyboard, until she became still and her eyes fixed on the screen. The mix of frustration and sorrow in her face made Kakashi’s heart skip a beat. Uhei was able to see it as well, a small whine coming out from his throat.

“We will need to do the biopsy” the kunoichi declared, turning the screen around so they could see the same as she did. “Look at this mass in here” she pointed out with a finger. “It’s embedded in the bone, most likely a tumor.”

The word stayed in the air for a few seconds as Kakashi and Uhei took it in, together with the implications.

“I can prepare everything for now” Hana continued. “I just need to sedate the leg to take the sample, and if we’re lucky enough they’ll have the results this same afternoon. The sooner we have a clear diagnosis, the better.”

“What are my chances?” Uhei asked, voice slightly shaken.

The kunoichi looked at the ninken and then at Kakashi before releasing a defeating sigh. The Hatake could feel his heart beating faster, anxiety climbing up his throat as a ball intending to choke him.

“If the mass is benign, then I can operate to take it out and that would be most of it” she said, although her tone let see that was not the result she expected to have. “If it’s malign, then we’ll have to check its extension to see how bad it is. Of course, the mass would have to be taken out, if not the whole leg, and then medication to avoid expansion and improve life quality. It would not… be an easy trip.”

Uhei whined, his eyes moving from Hana to Kakashi. He swallowed the ball of anxiety, trying to put instead a brave face and hide the worry threatening to make his body shake. That was not what his dog needed at the moment, and he would never give his ninken nothing else than love and support.

The Hatake extended a hand to pet Uhei’s head, scratching the back of his right ear in the point he knew pleasured him the most. Under the mask, a small smile accompanied the honesty in his eyes.

“Whatever it is, we’ll take it together, as we always have” he promised, head lowering to connect their foreheads. “You’re not alone, brother.”

That afternoon, Kakashi found himself sitting alone in the sofa. While coming back from the vet, Uhei had told him he didn’t want the others to know anything until they had the final results back. He had wanted a few more hours of being normal and carefree, so the Hatake would respect that.

As time passed, his ninken went outside to play, and the greyhound did his best to keep up as if there was no pain in his back leg. They ate lunch together and then the dogs went out for a well-deserved nap, but just this time Uhei did not follow the pack, instead choosing the comfort of Kakashi’s and Gai’s bed.

The Hatake just observed. Almost as if he was living those moments through the eyes of another person.

He saw Uhei playing, chasing his brothers and defending his food from Guruko and Biscuit. Then, he peeked inside of his bedroom to look at him sleep. If he tried hard enough, he could convince himself nothing had changed.

The front door opened at the same time as the phone rang, Kakashi launching himself to it so the noise would not awake the ninkens.

“I’m home, dear rival!”

He violently extended a hand towards his husband to shut him up.

“Yes?”

“Kakashi-san? It’s Hana” the person at the other end of the line said. “I have the results of Uhei back.”

“Kakashi? Is something…?”

A pointed look from him was everything Gai needed to close his mouth and roll backwards a couple of steps, understanding he needed space at the moment.

“What do they say?” he asked to the kunoichi, the worry in his voice more than evident.

“The tumor is malign” Hana declared, the words heavy on Kakashi’s mind. “Everything points out to an early stage of Osteosarcoma, which is not strange considering Uhei is a greyhound and he was abused in the past.”

The Hatake had to make a big effort to not break the telephone in his hand.

“There are two options to consider” the Inuzuka continued at the other end. “We can give painkillers and make Uhei’s life easier for a few months, or fight it and maybe give him several more years of life. It would not be easy, though. Considering the results a whole amputation of the leg would be needed, together with medication that will detriment his general health before start healing him.”

As several moments in silence passed, Kakashi realized that Hana was waiting for an answer.

“I understand” he said, uncapable of thinking on anything else.

“It’s not an easy decision, Kakashi-san” Hana empathically said. “Talk about it with Uhei. Personally, I think he has good chances, even at his age, but he should be the one choosing.”

“Yes, I know. Thanks for everything, Hana.”

“Of course, Kakashi-san.”

When she hung up, the Hatake stayed put for a few seconds. The lack of noise around him indicated the ninken were still asleep. He could feel Gai behind of the sofa, waiting for an explanation of what just happened, but he could not give one at the moment. He had to deal with the pressure on his chest.

Closing his eyes, Kakashi took a deep breath. Going outside for a run in the forest was not an option, as at least one of his dogs would wake up and follow him. He shouldn’t stay inside, though, as the chances were he would end up breaking something. Instead, he got up and quickly passed next to Gai —eyes purposedly avoiding him— to reach the front door.

There was a big rock to one side of the house, completely useless and perfect to release his feelings. There were not neighbors close to judge his behavior, and he ignored the noise of his husband’s wheelchair behind him as chakra concentrated in his fist.

When Kakashi’s knuckles collided against the rock, there was not a sound indicating any damage had been done. Still, the rock was cut in the middle and a small circle of impact appeared there where his hand rested, blood coming down from it. He grunted, refusing to acknowledge it as a way of self-harm because it had not been his intention.

“My love?” Gai calmly called from behind. “I need you to talk to me.”

He was tired.

And angry.

And he felt defeated.

Useless.

“Hey, come here, rival” his husband said as he pulled him down, arms coming to hug him. That was all the Hatake needed to start crying. “It’s ok, let it out. That’s it, my love, that’s it.”

Gai didn’t pressure him into explanations, just holding him in place and murmuring soft words that only stopped when his lips came to land a kiss on his hair. After a few minutes like that, Kakashi felt himself relax just enough, even with the horrible migraine growing in his head.

“I took Uhei to Hana’s” he explained in between breaths. “She checked his leg, the one he has been licking a lot lately and… It’s bad, Gai. He… He is… It’s osteosarcoma.”

He saw a river of emotions passing through his husband’s eyes in a few seconds. Surprise. Fear. Worry. And, finally, empathy. He hugged him again.

“This is just the beginning” he muttered against his chest, tears falling down his cheeks. “They are old, and they will all die one day. I just… I can’t… They’re my brothers, Gai.”

The arms around him hugged him tighter.

One of the reason why he loved his husband was because he could always count on him for support, even if he was a mess. But that was not everything, no. Gai would never try giving him false hope. He would not hug him and say ‘everything will be alright’, because he knew the chances of that being true were slim.

Instead, Gai would support him, physically and emotionally. He would give him all the comfort he needed in whatever way it was required. His husband would just be there for him. And that was the purest form of love he could think of.

So why do you call Kakashi "the Hatake" in prose a lot of the time? Is it like a title he gets for being the heir to his clan, or something else? Just noticed it and wondered a little

Hi! I think it comes mostly from the fact that I'm Spanish and when you write in my language (as in, for books and so) they always tell you to not use the name of the character all the time, but to refer to them in other terms to avoid repetition.

Therefore, you can see me using "the Hatake" to refer to Kakashi and "the taijutsu master" to refer to Gai a lot of times, among other options 😊

However, your theory of Kakashi being referred to as "the Hatake" due to him being the heir of his Clan wouldn't be wrong, as in all my fics he is considered as such!

I know I'm not the only one using the expression, and it makes me wonder if the rest of the people that use it speak Spanish as well 😂

Although I must admit it probably is weird to use "the" before a surname (or a name) in English, but in Spanish using an article in the same way it's very usual in coloquial language!

I hope to have answered your question ❤️

KakaGai Valentines Event: Love in the shape of words

The first letter Kakashi wrote was one thanking Gai for staying by his side despite everything. He was referring to both the past and the future, because he knew that, no matter how bad things could get, his husband would stick to his side. And he needed to write down how much he loved him for that.

By then, his sight was mostly intact, at least during the day. Therefore, he was still able to write without a problem, take care of any chore and, in general, just lead a normal life. That would not last long, though.

When the Hatake woke up that morning, darkness welcomed him as usual. Well, to be fair there was still a small circle in his vision allowing him to see into the world, but the image he got out of it was so blurry that he was considered medically blind. He had gotten used to it.

Turning to his side, he extended an arm over his husband’s chest, fingers brushing against the hair covering it. He could feel the deep breaths indicating Gai was still asleep, in case the snores were not enough to reach that conclusion. Years ago, that would have been strange, but not at the moment. The other man still left three days a week soon after the sunrise for training, but spent the other four mornings with Kakashi in bed. He was delighted with it.

As expected, the Hatake’s body was still slightly sore —and possibly bruised— due to the previous night’s activities, but he would not complain. He had to demonstrate his husband how thankful he was for the incredible presents he had gifted him. It was then when he remembered the letters.

See, Kakashi had started writing letters to Gai soon after his diagnosis. The honest reason behind it was that it would soon become something he could not do; write down stupid notes and other things to his husband. And he may not care much about it, but the Hatake had a collection of all the post-it the other man had written to him during the last decade, from groceries lists to love notes that he stuck over his lunch box back when Kakashi was still the Hokage. He had had the intention of keeping them to read through all when they were older, but he guessed Gai would be doing the reading, considering the situation.

And so, he now had a collection of letters to his husband to compensate all those he would not be able to write. Or he wouldn’t have, if not because the other man had been stupid —and perfect— enough to buy him a braille typewriter.

Decided it was the right moment, Kakashi slid out of bed without waking Gai up or step on any of his dogs. This last obstacle was more difficult to overpass, as they tended to occupy all the floor of the bedroom and part of the bed, but experience gave him some advantage. He felt some movement at the end of the bed, though, and the low breath made him smile.

Slowly, the Hatake stretched a hand out to scratch Endal’s forehead, but his aim was off and ended up brushing his ear instead. The ninken, however, just moved his head until Kakashi’s fingers were where he wanted them, and after a few scratches he licked his hand and went back to sleep.

As silent as he could, he left the bedroom and walked through the house until he reached the office/gym where they kept a collection of different things. Honestly, with all the trips they had been doing, that room had been a little bit abandoned and he considered a miracle he didn’t step on anything. There were a couple of close calls, but he was a highly trained shinobi and that undoubtedly helped.

After retrieving a wooden box hidden behind a stack of books —Icha Icha 2nd especial edition—, he made his way back to the bedroom and sat next to his husband. Kakashi closed his eyes, focusing entirely on Gai’s breaths and snores. If he tried hard enough, he was able to picture his face; more wrinkles covering his forehead and cheeks, mouth open and still perfectly white teeth glowing under the morning light. The Hatake had gotten used to a lot of things as he lost his sight, but not being able to see his husband’s face had been the hardest.

“Gai” he called.

When only snores kept echoing in the room, he sighed and brought out a finger to poke at the other man’s cheek.

“Gai” the Hatake repeated, still poking him. “Gai. Gai. Gai. Gai. G…”

“Rival!” his husband grumbled at one point, hand enclosing around his annoying index finger. “May I know why are you being so…”

“Annoying?”

“I was going to see insistent.”

“Sure you were.”

“Kakashi” the other man sighed, moving into a sitting position. “Is there something wrong?”

“Why would it be?”

“Because you woke up earlier than me and instead of staying in bed, you woke me up as well” another slow movement, and Gai’s face came very close to his. “So, either there is something going on, or maybe you’re just…”

His husband’s lips brushed against his. And then their friends said he was the perverted one. Still, he kissed him back. The Hatake was not a monster.

“I did not wake you up for that” he chuckled, catching Gai’s lower lip in between his teeth. “Although I would like to put a hold on it for later.”

“Duly noted, dear husband.”

Rolling his eyes, Kakashi let go of the other man’s lips and pushed him slightly away. Like that, they were seated in front of each other and with enough space for him to bring out the box hidden behind his back.

“I wanted to give you this.”

“A present?” Gai chuckled. “Is this because of yesterday?”

“No” he huffed. “I have been doing this for a long time, I just wasn’t sure of when to give it to you, so… Here.”

The Hatake felt his husband’s hands carefully taking the box and then leave it in front of him on the bed.

“You’re not going to open it?” he wondered.

“I’m worried something might come jumping out of it.”

“Now you’re just being stupid.”

“No, I’m being cautious considering the man I married.”

“Eh, you chose me.”

“And I would do it a thousand times more.”

Kakashi kicked him on the left leg. He didn’t like blushing so early in the morning.

“Go on and open it, Gai.”

The soft noise of the small hinges was the only sound in the room for the next couple of seconds. That, and a curious hum coming from the taijutsu master’s mouth. The Hatake didn’t move, keeping his eyes settled in which he hoped it was the box and not a random point in between the two of them.

The sound of paper being unfold indicated him that Gai had taken the first letter in his hands.

“Rival!” he gasped a few seconds after. “This is… This is… How many have you written?”

“I’m not sure” Kakashi admitted with a shrug. “Some are very short, though.”

“It doesn’t matter! This is amazing work, and your words… You’re going to make me cry!”

He had assumed that would be happening, but the need to show Gai how much he loved him had been too high. Of course, he still did things in their day to day to keep the flame awake —not that they have ever had problems with it—, but some things were difficult for him to say out loud. Maybe because they were too cheesy and he was embarrassed, maybe because he was sure the moment he would try to start a sentence, the words would disappear from his mind. Whatever the case, by writing it down Gai could read them whenever he wanted.

“When I wrote the letter you have in your hands, my vision was mostly gone” he explained. “After that one, I realized I wouldn’t be able to do it anymore, which was really the whole reason why I started it.”

He heard the wooden box being put away and a moment after a couple of arms came to wrap around him. Kakashi let Gai drag him against the warmth of his body, his legs fitting perfectly in between his husband’s and back resting against an still hard and muscular chest. A kiss was softly placed on his naked neck and he felt himself melting a bit.

“Of course, you had to go and buy me a typewriter” the Hatake continued with a false sigh. “Now I don’t have an excuse to stop writing you letters.”

Gai was not the best one at reading braille —not that he need it in his daily life—, but he was sure the man would take as much as he needed to read anything he wrote.

“I love you” his husband murmured, lips against his ear.

They had been married for years. Those were daily words for them by now.

His heart beat faster anyways.

Kakashi turned to kiss Gai on the lips. Practice had made it possible for him to aim correctly even if blind. He breathed his husband’s air.

“I love you.”

KakaGai Valentine 2025: To hold you again

They were twenty and twenty-one years old. By the shinobi society’s standards, they could be starting a family. Instead, Gai was carrying an exhausted Kakashi against his back —both soaking wet due to the storm above them—, unsure if he wanted to kiss or kick his best friend.

The mission they had been sent to was not an easy one, but being the pair they were, it ended up being successful. With the Hatake near to chakra exhaustion and the taijutsu master’s muscles screaming, but successful. If they could just get back to Konoha alive, it would be great.

Grunting, Gai changed his hold on Kakashi, to which the other young shinobi answered with a groan. He was still conscious, but that may not last long. Which meant they needed a place to hide from the rain and where they would be safe. Luckily for them, they had passed a village on their way and by his estimations, Gai guessed he could reach it within the next hour.

Above them, the sky roared again and the drops falling from it became harder and more painful against their bodies.

“Welcome to Teiko’s Inn. My name is Umei, how may I assist you?”

The voice sounded disinterested, and the woman behind the reception of the small inn didn’t show any intention of helping them, even if it was evident that Gai was struggling to keep the both of them on their feet. Since the village where the building was situated was rather small, he guessed she was used to see half-dead shinobi all the time.

“Good evening, Umei-san” the taijutsu master said, adjusting the weight of Kakashi against his side. “We would like to rent a room for the night.”

“Of course” the woman responded, bringing out a thick book and opening it a marked page. “I can offer two as well, if that would be a better fit.”

“One will be enough, thank you.”

Even if the mission had been successful, they were in no shape to stay separated in case another enemy appeared. Nodding, the woman wrote something down before turning the book around and offering Gai a pen.

“Sign here.”

He did as indicated, which was rather difficult with Kakashi playing dead next to him and the muscles of his hands spasming due to the use he had made of them just an hour ago. Then, he fetched the money they had received for the mission from his back pouch, and paid the agreed price. Just a moment after, Umei produced an old key for him.

“Second room to the left” she indicated. “Please keep it quiet, my other clients are already asleep.”

Gai nodded, taking the key and drawing the Hatake with him to the room they would be sharing that night. The door cracked when he pushed it open, but the place was big enough for them and their bags, even with a small sofa in the corner and a coffee table next to it. A wardrobe continued the wall of the door, so he guessed the one just in front of it leaded to a private bathroom, which was great.

Honestly, for the paid price Gai was rather surprised with the condition of the room. There was only one slightly annoying detail: the solitary double bed just in the middle. He sighed.

“Come on, rival, we need to get rid of these clothes.”

Kakashi mumbled something against his shoulder, but nothing he could understand. Therefore, he continued his way into the bathroom still carrying his friend. Once there, he first got rid of their backpacks, which were dripping just as much as them. Then, he removed his own jumpsuit and sandals, staying just in his underwear. Which was equally wet, so he ended up tying a towel around his hips and then taking the thong out for drying.

In the meantime, the Hatake had stayed where he had left him: sitting over the toilet. As he wore several layers of clothes, removing all of them took some more time. It also brought him back some memories he had been trying very hard to forget for the last couple of months.

Even if he had already seen —and admire, and cared, and kissed— his rival’s face before, he moved Kakashi so he could remove the under t-shirt without looking at it. Afterwards, he tied a small cloth over the bridge of his nose before keep undressing the Hatake, a second towel being attached around his hips. Through it all, his friend stayed put, letting him do whatever he wanted.

The obvious reason for this, one may think, was that Kakashi was too exhausted to do all of that by himself, but the truth was that the other man had recovered fairly enough as Gai carried him. The way he looked at him —black, intense eye shining in the dark— was clear proof of that. Still, he helped him to get up and reach the bed, where his rival finally showed a reaction by hiding under the sheets and turning his back to him.

Sighing, Gai turned around to reach the wardrobe in search of a blanket for himself. There was only one and not in a very good state, but it would be enough for the night. Then, he walked towards the tiny sofa of the room as he thought of ways to lay comfortably on it.

“What are you doing?” the voice of his friend, rough due to all the screaming that day, asked.

“Going to sleep” he answered.

“Don’t be stupid, Gai” his rival half growled. “Come to the bed.”

As a second nature, his hands became fists.

“I thought you didn’t want to share a bed with me anymore.”

“Gai.”

It was cold, he was tired and his body was begging for some rest. With another sigh, he turned again and climbed onto the small mattress. Back to the same side he had been taking for over a year and just until a few months ago. The sheets were rough against his naked skin, but the pressure of them over the sore muscles helped him to relax.

Gai wanted to turn around, away from the dark eye looking at him, from the man he loved but was afraid of loving him back. But Kakashi was shaking, and he still had imprinted on him the need to make him feel comfortable and safe.

With silent movements, the taijutsu master crawled closer to the Hatake, until he was within arm reach and he was able to extend an arm over the other man’s biceps. After a second in which the contact was not rejected, he pulled his rival closer to him, until their bodies connected skin-to-skin.

It was a very bad idea, to allow himself to hold Kakashi like that again. To interlace their legs and bury his face on white hair. To breathe that scent again. And still, his body did all of that and more, arms hugging the Hatake closer and brushing up and down his back.

“You’re freezing” he mumbled against his scalp.

“And you’re a furnace.”

The comment pretended to be a complain, but his rival had not rejected any of his movements, and even his arms had ended up coming around Gai’s to hold their position closer. He may be right; the taijutsu master had a high body temperature, but even if so he wanted to use the excuse of huddling for warmth to hold his ex-boyfriend one more time in his arms.

As he closed his eyes, he chose to think of the past. To imagine they were hugging after a marathon-sex in the afternoon. To force the memories of kisses and dates back to the front of his mind. Because, maybe, is he tried hard enough, it would become true.

KakaGai Valentines 2025: First Date

Gai was going to ask Kakashi for a date. This was a decision he had made just a few hours ago after some time of careful consideration. See, his rival and him had shared a couple of… intimate moments during the last couple of months. Not much, mind you, just two kisses and —in the heat of the moment— some wandering hands over the other’s body. Needless to say, Gai had not allowed it to go any further —even if some parts of his anatomy wanted to argue against it—, and shortly after the Hatake had run away.

Which was the same that has happened after each and every time they got close.

Of course, he was a patient man and could understand the hesitation of his friend, but ignoring his own feelings was beginning to be too hard. So, even if he knew the chances of success were rather low, he was going to ask Kakashi for a date.

“Yosh! Now I just have to think about the perfect moment to do it!” he exclaimed in the silence of his own home.

The house his father had left for him was far away from the main part of the village, which allowed him to be as loud as he wanted without annoying any neighbors, something his team had joked about becoming a problem once he moved into the chunnin building. That would have to wait a bit, though, since he wanted to invite Kakashi to a nice place and that implied using part of his savings. But it was totally fine! His rival deserved only the best, after all.

“You’re thinking too much about it, Gai” Genma sighed the next day while they trained together. “That’s my honest opinion.”

While he spoke tiredly, his teammate jumped backwards to avoid his hits, senbon moving in between his lips. Gai followed carefully each movement, knowing that in any moment the weapon could be thrown in his direction.

“But I’m not!” he complained, attempting a round kick on him. “A first date must be perfect!”

“According to whom? I know more horrible first dates than good ones” Genma huffed. “You should ask Asuma about it.”

“B-But… Kurenai always speaks fondly of their first date!”

“Yeah, because with time the embarrassment transforms into a funny memory” his friend chuckled. “Seriously, Gai, just invite him to dinner and see how it goes from there.”

“And what about...?”

“No flowers, no poems” Genma cut him. “I can’t believe I have to tell you this, Gai. Are you sure you know the Hatake well enough to even like him?”

“Of course I do! We’re eternal rivals!”

Even if they were talking, their hits didn’t stop and Gai internally celebrated when his kick got Genma in the gut with enough strength to send him to the floor.

“I win!”

“Yeah, yeah…” his teammate coughed. “It would be strange if you didn’t, this being a taijutsu match and all.”

“I’m sure that with enough training you could reach my level at hand-to-hand combat, my friend!”

“Sure…” Genma rolled his eyes accepting the hand Gai was offering to lift him up. “Anyways, follow my advice. Don’t go too big on the Hatake or he will run away, just like when you two…”

“SHH!” his hand slapped against his friend’s mouth in a quick movement. “Didn’t I tell you that was a secret? Kakashi probably doesn’t want anybody to know!”

That comment made Genma frown and angrily remove his hand away.

“Honestly, Gai, if he doesn’t want for it to be public, then you shouldn’t bother” the other boy huffed.

“But keeping a relationship secret is normal! Especially while tensions in between villages are still high.”

A hand came to rest on his shoulder, and when his eyes met Genma’s, he saw on them a determination that was normally reserved for real battles.

“We both know that’s not what you meant” he said. “Don’t settle for anyone who is ashamed and not proud of being with you, Gai. You know better than that.”

He had to look away after a few seconds, nodding silently. He was not ashamed of himself —he had come very far as a shinobi!—, but he was well aware of what people in the village still said about him. Sometimes it was difficult to keep believing in himself when his father was not there anymore to push him forwards.

A new clap on his shoulder brought him back to reality.

“Well, I have to go now” Genma said. “But listen to my advices and, if he says ‘yes’ to the date, remind him that I’ll chase him down if he doesn’t fulfill your expectations.”

“Genma!” he exclaimed, looking back at him in surprise. “You should not make such a threat against a comrade!”

“He’s just a fellow shinobi, you’re my teammate and brother in arms” his friend shrugged, walking away. “See you!”

He disappeared before Gai could complain anymore, so instead he was left there in the middle of the training ground, alone with his thoughts.

Finding Kakashi was easy enough, as Gai seemed to have a sixth sense to detect where his rival was most times. The Hatake walked alone, as usual, dressed in his shinobi clothes and with a serious expression on his face, but by his manner of walking it didn’t seem as if he was in a hurry to get somewhere. Which was perfect for the taijutsu master.

“Rival!” he called. “Wait up!”

In the past, Kakashi would have done just the opposite, disappearing in front of him and forcing Gai into a chase. Lately, however, his friend had just started to stop dead when he called his name.

“Hi, Gai” the Hatake said with a tired tone. “I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood for one of your challenges.”

“Oh, that’s fine, rival!” he beamed with a smile. “I actually wanted to talk, that’s all.”

“To… talk?” Kakashi’s right eyebrow had lifted, looking at him with a mix of confuse and amusement. “That would be a first.”

“Don’t try to act so cool and aloof, rival, I’m sure we have talked as normal civilians before!”

The inquisitive eyebrow maintained its position.

“Well, maybe not, but that’s because challenges are way more interesting!” he complained, huffing. “Anyways, this is important. Perhaps you would like to go somewhere, um… more private?”

Up until now, they had been standing to the side of one of Konoha’s busiest streets, which made difficult for them to have a serious conversation without an eavesdropper. His suggestion seemed to have an effect on his friend, as Kakashi’s manner changed and he turned more serious, nodding quietly.

He jumped away first, the Hatake following easily behind until they were in a small park several streets away. It didn’t have a playground, but instead a couple of big trees that blocked the view from the buildings around them and offered some shadow. The place was empty, which also ensured the privacy Gai assumed his friend would like.

“So? What is that you wanted to talk about?”

He swallowed his nerves away. A Maito never backed down!

“It’s a question, actually” the taijutsu master clarified. “I… I wanted to know if you would like to go on a date. With me.”

In front of him, Kakashi just blinked, as if waiting for something else to come out from his mouth. After a couple of seconds, he seemed to realized that was about it.

“All this secrecy… To ask me on a date?” the Hatake questioned, shifting the weight on his legs.

“Well, I thought you’d appreciate the privacy, rival!” he exclaimed, noticing just after that his tone was too high. “Besides, I didn’t want to invite you on a first date in the middle of a busy street.”

“Wait, what do you mean ‘first’?” Kakashi huffed. “Have you forgotten how to count, Gai?”

He was pretty sure the answer to that question was ‘no’, but then again the expression on his friend’s face told him it may be ‘yes’.

“Uh… I don’t think so?” he babbled, blinking a couple of times. Then, he let out a stressed laugh. “I mean, I would have realized if I had been in a date with you before, rival!”

“Apparently, you wouldn’t” the Hatake pointed out with a sigh, although his manner had suddenly shifted. He looked somehow… nervous. “I mean… What about last week’s dinner at BBQ? And before that, in Ichiraku? I thought that had been our first date.”

“I… Uh… What?!” Gai mumbled, trying to sort out his thoughts. “But, that… I thought you invited me to dinner because you owed me from previous challenges!”

“Since when do I fulfill that part of any challenge?” his rival huffed, half-annoyed and half-worried.

Kakashi did have a point there; anytime he would lose a challenge in which he had to pay the food after, he would never follow through.

“Are you…” the Hatake hesitated just a moment, changing his manner for one just slightly more aloof. “Does that mean you’re also not counting the kisses we shared?”

Just the mention of those made Gai blushed furiously. He had never imagined his friend would be the one bringing them up.

“I do!” he exclaimed. “Of course I do, rival! But I just thought… Well, you ran away after each time!”

The other young shinobi looked at him as if he was stupid. Which he was starting to feel as, at that point.

“Gai, after the first kiss we had to return to the village to give a report, and you were called out to another mission” he deadpanned. “By the time you came back, it seemed like nothing had changed and you didn’t want to know anything about it. I just guessed you felt the same way as I do a couple of weeks ago, when you kissed me again, and just after an ANBU came looking for me. It’s not like I didn’t want to acknowledge it.”

Gai blinked. Once.

Twice.

I just guessed you felt the same way…

He opened his mouth. Then closed it again.

“Besides, I don’t know what you think of me, but I don’t go around putting my hands under the shirt of each person I see…” the Hatake half-joked.

The blush came back. The amount of blood in Gai’s face was not making it easy for him to think clearly. At the moment, all his brain cells seemed to be fixated in bringing him back the memory and feeling of his rival’s hands slipping under his shirt.

It had happened just two days ago, when Kakashi had oddly —although apparently it was not odd anymore, as that has probably been a date as well—, accepted his invitation to spend the afternoon together. Some training after and the two of them lying side by side on the training ground, the Hatake had turned around to lay closer to him and touched him softly. Another team had appeared a couple of seconds after, so the interaction had stopped abruptly and each one had gone their way for a very well-deserved shower.

“I do!” he babbled a moment after, which only brought a confused expression to his rival’s face. “I mean, I do feel the same way!”

“Oh” the Hatake said, for once speechless and… was that a blush coming up from underneath his mask? “That’s… Good. Yeah.”

“And I think highly of you, rival! Never doubt it again!” Gai continued, uncapable of stopping himself. “I just wasn’t sure if you did, or you would like to be in public with me, or if you…”

“Wait, what?” his friend interrupted him. “Why would I have a problem with being together in public?”

Taken aback, the taijutsu master had to swallow his own saliva and brush the back of his neck before finding the right words. Or the closest thing to that.

“I-I mean… You’re an elite shinobi, Kakashi” he tried to explain. “And I’m… well, just another jounin that…”

“Stop right there, Gai” the Hatake intervened once again. “You’re not ‘just another jounin’, you should know that already. Surely the Hokage knows it, and whoever goes against his words is just stupid. If anything, you should be the one worrying about going out in dates with a ‘friend-killer.”

“Rival!” the taijutsu master growled. “I told you to never use those words to refer to yourself again! You are an amazing shinobi and friend, your team was lucky to have you and—”

If anybody would have told Gai the events that just took place would happen, he would have laughed loudly and then complained about joking with things like that.

His honest and tearful discourse was interrupted by a mouth colliding with his. And this time he could feel the lips of Kakashi against his own. Gai’s eyes opened widely as he was kissed by his eternal rival, mask folded around the Hatake’s neck. His body, however, seemed to be ready enough to react without any instruction from his brain, as a second after his eyes closed and he pushed slightly forwards. This was his third kiss, so he knew it would not be perfect, but as his lips moved timidly against Kakashi’s mouth, a warm feeling filled him deep inside.

The other two times his rival and him had kissed, it had been electrical. Almost a lustful reaction in a moment of tension. This time felt different. There was no electricity around them, but something softer.

He decided this was his favorite kiss so far.

“Let’s make something clear” the Hatake said against his lips when they separated. “I do like you, and we have been in four dates so far, understood?”

The taijutsu master just nodded, the temptation to lean in again to share another kiss almost too strong to contain.

“Good.”

As fast as Kakashi had taken his mask down, it was up again and covering his face from the world. Gai had seen it in a couple of occasions, but never had the opportunity to properly appreciate it. He hoped one day he could.

“Being that way, rival” he said, coughing to regain some self-control. “Would you let me invite you to a fifth date?”

“Only if you pay” his friend said. “You owe me, after all the headache you just gave me.”

Gai laughed loudly.

“Of course, rival!”

There were more things he wanted to talk about. Especially now that it seemed like Kakashi did not have a problem with talking about their relationship. Assuming they were in one.

Huh.

Maybe that should be a question for later that day.

Was the mighty Hatake Kakashi his boyfriend now?

Learning Your Touch: Explorative Mouths

Hello~ I was going to post this final chapter last week, but I started to write the fics for the KakaGai's Valentine event of this year and I completely forgot xD Well, as I told you at the beginning, this chapter will be focus on oral sex! I am very surprised to see that you people are liking this fic ^^ I don't know if it is because you like to read smut or because it is actually well written xD

---------------------------------------

The sun was setting in Konoha that afternoon, an orange light entering through the Hatake’s room where Gai and him were carelessly lying on his bed. They had all their clothes —except shoes and vests— still in place, but judging by the way their hands were moving, that would soon change.

As weeks passed, they had become more comfortable with sex, learning what brought pleasure to the other and even experimenting a bit. One day, his boyfriend even proposed changing positions, and so they tried. For Kakashi, it was a nice experience that made him feel in control, yet strange due to his inexperience being the one doing the penetration. Gai, however, had come out of it less happy than he had expected. He assured him it was not at all for his performance, but because in his mind the feeling of being penetrated would be different. At some point, he even admitted fearing there was something wrong with him, since his orgasm —even if good—, hadn’t seemed to reach the level of those the Hatake experienced when in his position. After a long talk about it, they had decided to go back to their previous roles, with which they both felt more comfortable, but not fully closing the door to reverse them from time to time.

Now, Kakashi finally found himself capable of bringing up something he had been thinking about for a bit. He had read —as well as been told both in the Academy and ANBU— that it was normal to experience curiosity around certain practices, and the easiest way to check if they were of his liking was by trying.

The problem was, in his case, asking. Gai and him might have become rather good at talking openly about sex, but that didn’t mean he felt completely comfortable with voicing his desires. Especially when it was something they hadn’t tried before.

“Wait” he said, holding by the wrist the hand that had found its way under his pants.

“Is there something wrong?” his boyfriend asked. “I thought you wanted…”

“No” the Hatake mumbled. “I mean… No, there is nothing wrong. And I do want you to continue, but… I have… a request. If that’s ok?”

“Oh, that sounds interesting, rival! What do you propose?”

Taking his hands off of him, Gai turned in bed to lay on his side, shiny black eyes looking straight at him. Kakashi could not avoid smiling.

“Well, I would like for you to… go down on me.”

He waited for a few seconds in which just silence filled the room. Then, just as the Hatake was about to add that they could forget about it, Gai answered.

“I don’t think I understand, rival. Is that… some kind of position you want to try?”

“No” he chuckled. “Well, in a way, yes, maybe. But I meant… oral sex.”

More silence.

“OH! So, you, uh… As in… Me, sucking you?” the other boy wondered, voice low and face red.

“Y-Yeah” he nodded, his embarrassment making him blush as well. “But only if you want, though. It’s completely fine if you refuse.”

Gai considered it for a minute with a pensive expression on his face.

“Well, my first impression would be that it doesn’t seem very… hygienic, but neither did having sex, I guess” his boyfriend reasoned, cheeks still bright. “I think… I think I would be open to try. Do you, um… Have experience with it, as well?”

The Hatake nodded slightly.

“Just a bit” he admitted. “And only being the one doing it, not… The other way. So I may not be able to guide you very well.”

“That’s alright, rival! I’m sure that by giving my best effort I’ll be able to please you.”

Kakashi could not hold himself. The ‘good guy’ pose while they were in bed was too much fun to contain a chuckle.

“Of course you will.”

He had wondered, for a while then, how oral sex would feel. When sleeping with other men, he had never been able to see their faces because he was always on his arms and legs. Only their groans and moans —among other disgusting sounds— were indicative of how good they were feeling. However, in his three times having to use his mouth to please them, he had been forced to look at their faces as they came apart. The act itself didn’t feel nice due to the brutality and the bruises it brought to him, but it was evident that for the others the pleasure was rather satisfying.

Now that he had Gai to safely try different things in bed without fear of getting hurt —not on purpose, at least—, Kakashi wanted to know how that felt. Although he would make sure to treat his boyfriend with the delicacy he deserved, of course, never forcing him to do more than he was comfortable with.

Gai brought him back to the present by kissing him softly, covering his body with his own and letting his hands travel down. The Hatake sighed in the kiss, humming happily as the other boy’s lips shifted from his mouth to his neck, sucking there for a bit. They moved slowly against each other, clothes gradually disappearing until they were just in their underwear.

By then, the previous experiences together allowed them to read each other easily, Gai licking and kissing his skin carefully from neck to the sensible spot under his belly button. He could not hold back moans and wines as his nipples got teased, furiously red and slightly bitten, no doubt in retaliation for how much Kakashi had played with Gai’s the last time.

Their movements had led them slowly to the edge of the mattress, until the Hatake was almost sitting at the border and his boyfriend on his knees in between his legs. He observed —mouth dry— at how Gai lingered over his underwear for a moment, lips just brushing over the bulge underneath it. His hot breath made him moan loudly, anticipation getting out the worst of him.

“Is it ok if I remove this, rival?” Gai asked with more confidence than he expected.

“Yes” he groaned, lifting his hips a bit. “Please.”

In one swift motion, the other boy rolled the underwear down and out, throwing it away. His hard member came into view red and with pre-cum covering the tip. The simple view of Gai’s mouth so close to it made him wine. A second later, a shy hand came up to circle him, brushing him softly to peel his foreskin completely down.

“Gai.”

“So… Do I… Ah, just put it in my mouth?” his boyfriend breathed.

“No” he embarrassingly moaned. “W-Wait a minute.”

He reached to the right, opening the drawer of his nightstand to take out a condom.

“Put it on, first” Kakashi indicated, offering the package to the other boy.

“Oh, I thought you may want to cum in my mouth?”

Another groan.

“If you keep it up like this, Gai, I’ll cum on your face before you can even start.”

Even if embarrassed and with a hand covering half of his face to hide it, he was able to discern how his boyfriend became a deep shade of red at his comment.

“Besides, it’s for protection” he continued. “I know we’re clean and exclusive if you don’t count… Well. But, just in case.”

“I-I understand, rival” Gai nodded, opening the condom and sliding it slowly down on his member. “Although I would like to have sex without any barrier one day, when we’re ready.”

Kakashi’s heart beat faster at the idea. Even if uncomfortable due to his erection, he bent forwards to kiss Gai.

“Yeah, one day” he said against the other’s lips.

“Great!” his boyfriend beamed once he incorporated again, one hand still resting over his member. “Now, how do I…?”

“I, um… I think it’s kind of like doing what you do with your hands but… With your mouth? If that makes sense.”

“Um… Maybe” Gai said with a pensive expression. “Can I try?”

“Y-Yeah, of course.”

Somehow, his boyfriend got this amazing idea of first burying his nose in his crotch, breathing in as if he was an ocean full of fresh air. He moaned, hands grabbing tightly at the sheets.

“I like how you smell, rival” Gai commented as his lips brushed the beginning of his member. “I thought it would be unpleasant, but it’s not.”

Kakashi had tasted several erections on his honey-pot missions and all of them had been disgusting, so he really didn’t understand what the other boy meant by that.

“It smells like sweat, and somehow salty” he continued, one hand tugging at him while his tongue ran up. “Is this good?”

“G-Good, yes” the Hatake breathed. “You can c-continue.”

For a few minutes, he just observed how Gai used his hands to tease his balls in the way he licked it at the same time as his mouth rolled up and down, just timidly sucking at the tip before starting again. It was madness. Especially because from his seated position he could see his boyfriend’s bangs falling over his face as his lips worked on him. It was not just the pleasure of sex that he was feeling, but also the one coming from the image in front of him.

“I’m… I’m gonna try sucking now” Gai announced.

Kakashi managed to get out an agreeing whine. However, part of his arousal left momentarily as the other boy circled the tip of his member with his mouth and sucked hard. He grunted, pulling back.

“W-Wait!” the Hatake said. “That… That was too much, Gai.”

“Oh, sorry, rival” his boyfriend apologized, liberating his erection.

“It’s ok, I… Um, I kind of liked it, but I didn’t expect it from the beginning… Maybe try softer? I—I think it’s more about slowly building up the orgasm more than… Doing it fast.”

“So, um… Contrary to what you like when I penetrate you?”

“Y-Yeah, I think so.”

During their last encounters, they had come to know better what the other liked, thus discovering that, while Kakashi liked making love slowly sometimes, normally he preferred it hard but lovingly. A strange combination, sure, but that worked perfectly for a man like Gai, apparently. He was just lucky enough to have him.

If being honest, the Hatake had kind of expected to enjoy oral sex the same way, just as he had done for other men, who grabbed and tugged at his hair while moving quickly and enjoying loud and hard sucks. Apparently, his body thought otherwise.

“Ok, rival, I understand” Gai nodded, smiling at him with some saliva coming from the corner of his mouth. “Can I try again?”

“Yes. G-Go for it.”

This time, the suck was softer, more calm. It made him whine and his member twitch.

“B-Better. Way… Way better.”

Still with the erection in his mouth, Gai nodded and continued working his tongue around the tip, sometimes doing a thing that made him moan shamefully. Whatever it was, he wanted it more often.

At one point, his boyfriend looked up for feedback, and he could barely nod at the same time as he whined, the image of his member in between Gai’s lips and his big black eyes shining like that, too much for him. Still, even with such an overwhelming feeling, he felt something missing.

“Can you… Can you keep using your hands at the same time?”

His boyfriend nodded, the fingers holding his member going back to move up and down in perfect coordination with his mouth. Every time his hand slid down, his lips would suck around Kakashi’s erection, releasing him as the palm came up once again. That movement, together with the massaging of his balls, had him moaning and clawing at the sheets as his eyes closed in pleasure.

It took him some time to notice Gai was starting to go deeper, more and more of the Hatake’s member disappearing in his mouth as his cheeks became hollow to blow. The warmth around the sensible skin had him almost reaching his limit, body asking him to collaborate a bit in the dance. Kakashi was pretty sure he ripped part of the sheets as he pulled at them to contain the desire of grabbing Gai’s hair and just pull him down on him. To have himself completely buried in his mouth and throat.

Apparently, his self-control was less extended than he thought.

The room had filled with the moans leaving his mouth and the wet sounds of his boyfriend’s lips over him, saliva falling to the floor. At one point, the motion made Gai release a gurgling noise as he took a little more of his erection in. That was enough for Kakashi’s control to break.

His hips thrusted up at the same time as the other boy sucked, his member burying itself in Gai’s throat and making him gag. The instant pleasure almost made him cum, but the feeling quickly disappeared as his boyfriend released him and started to cough.

“S-Sorry!” he managed, bending down to hold the other boy’s face in his hands. “I’m so sorry, Gai. Are you ok? Have I hurt you?”

Kakashi was supposed to be better than that. He didn’t want to be like those men that had used him. He had to maintain control at all times.

“I-It’s…” another cough. “It’s ok… Rival. I-I’m ok.”

The Hatake released his hold a bit so Gai could breathe easier, still looking at him with worry in his face.

“Are you sure?” he pressed. “We can stop. I shouldn’t have…”

“Kakashi” his boyfriend protested. “I’m fine, I promise. I just… Didn’t expect the motion. I think I’ll need more practice before taking you fully in. I will make a challenge out of it!���

He sounded strangely motivated, which managed to get a chuckle out of the Hatake.

“I, um… I would like to try now, if that’s ok.”

For a second, Kakashi was not sure of what he meant, until the tip of his member was brushed by Gai’s tongue and brought back to life.

Oh.

“Really?”

The other boy nodded, so he agreed while looking at him with an amazed expression. This time, he put all his focus on keeping himself steady, which was not easy as his boyfriend’s mouth engulfed him one more time. Gai gave it a couple of more tries, gagging on his erection before giving up and releasing it with a wet ‘plop’, making him groan. He didn’t succeed in his intentions, but his motion was efficient anyways, bringing Kakashi closer to the end.

“I’m… I’m sorry, rival. It seems that I’ll need more practice” he said still against his member.

“T-That’s ok” he nodded. “I’m close now, so, um…”

“Would you like to guide me?” Gai asked. “You can grab my hair and set the pace, just… Not too deep?”

He doubted for a moment, looking sideways instead of focusing on Gai. His erection was throbbing almost painfully, but he was scared of losing control again.

“Kakashi?” the voice of his boyfriend sounded like a plea, so he redirected his sight to him. “I trust you.”

The honesty in those words almost made him cum. Instead, he nodded softly and let one hand brush over Gai’s neck, tangling on the hair there. Slowly, the other boy opened his mouth to engulf him at the tip, lips softly around his member. Kakashi moved his hand slowly up until he had a good grab at his boyfriend’s hair. Then, he looked straight to his eyes and waited until he nodded before pushing him forwards, erection disappearing in his mouth. He pressed until the resistance of Gai’s throat was prominent, pulling out then. After another nod to confirm it was ok, he pushed one more time.

He moaned at the feeling.

The Hatake was capable of setting a pace that worked for him and Gai, not too fast but with enough rhythm to make him see the stars as a tongue played with his sensible skin and lips sucked the life out of him.

It was just so good.

He knew rather well he wouldn’t last long, but then Gai had this amazing —wonderful— idea of making a sound of his own, the tremor forcing a mix of groan and moan out of his mouth as he cum. His hips moved for a few seconds as his orgasm rolled down, careful to not push too much into his boyfriend as he came apart. When he finally gave up, releasing Gai’s hold and letting his upper body fall over the mattress, the electric shock was still running though him.

The other boy’s long breaths were easily audible, the pace they had set at the end probably a little too fast for him. Kakashi could feel Gai’s face resting against his thigh, and he managed to move a hand to pat his wet cheek.

“T-That was… Perfect” he praised. “Outstanding.”

“Really, rival?” his boyfriend panted. “You’re not lying?”

The Hatake chuckled, incorporating a bit over his free arm.

“Of course not, Gai” he laughed. “I would never lie about your incredible abilities in sex. I’m just sorry that you didn’t…”

His words became silent as his eyes settled down on the other boy’s crotch. There was an evident tension on the thong he was wearing, and not only due to his size.

“You’re… You’re hard?”

“Um, y-yeah?” Gai nodded, shifting a bit. “It that… a problem?”

“N-No! I’m just… Surprised” he admitted. “Whenever I had to… Well, I never enjoyed it, really, and certainly didn’t get excited for it, but I guess it depends on who you do it with…”

“O-Oh, I see… It’s just… Well, I like pleasing you, rival” his boyfriend mumbled, saliva still coming down from the corner of his lips. “And the sounds you make, together with your hold, I-I, um… I liked that.”

It made sense, the Hatake assumed. At the beginning, he had doubted being capable of truly enjoying penetration, not because he was forced to it, but because he didn’t really look forwards to it. It was plausible the same applied to oral sex.

“Good” he said, smiling a bit. “That’ll make it easier for me now.”

“W-What?” the other boy asked, almost babbling. “Do you mean..? But you don’t have to if you don’t like it, rival! I was surprised to find out it’s something I enjoy, but that doesn’t mean that I expect you to…”

“I want to try” the Hatake interrupted him. “Just once, at least. If that’s ok with you.”

“O-Of course.”

Slowly, they changed positions, helping each other until Gai was the one sitting on the mattress and Kakashi on his knees just in front of his crotch. He may have found himself in that same position with other men during missions, but that time it felt different. Nobody was grabbing at him and making him gag before he had the opportunity to take a breath, for starters.

He began by caring Gai’s erection up and down with his right hand, the foreskin already retracted and letting out his big and wet head. At the same time, he used the left hand to massage his balls in the way he knew his boyfriend became crazy for. There was some pre-cum coming from the tip of his member, and Kakashi brought his tongue out to lick it in one swift movement.

“R-Rival!” Gai moaned, moving his hips slightly back. “Shouldn’t we… u-use a condom?”

Oh. Right.

“Y-Yeah, sorry” he muttered, reaching for another package from his nightstand.

The Hatake rolled down the condom slowly over the hardness in front of him, the new pre-cum coming off it making the slide easier. Once settled, he gave it a hard lick from base to tip, managing to make Gai thrust his hips up to follow the movement. For the next part, he took a deep breath, moving his right hand to his boyfriend’s inner thigh for support while the other continued with his massage. Then, he engulfed him with his mouth and pushed down.

The feeling was not exactly pleasing, but the smell of Gai made it better. Using his tongue, he helped himself to swallow around the erection until it reached his throat. As expected, his gag reflex activated instantly and Kakashi had to make a conscious effort to subside it, giving it a couple of seconds before keep going. When his nose came in contact with the black curls of Gai’s crotch, he focused on swallowing again.

“K-KAKASHI!”

The Hatake was able to hold himself there for about seven seconds before having to retract his head, freeing the hard member and giving himself an opportunity to fill his lungs with air again.

“Did it… Did it feel… good?” he panted with a teasing smile.

There was a lot of saliva coming from the border of his lips, and he used his arm to remove it.

“It was… That felt… How did you do it?”

“Practice” he pointed out, fingers caring the erection in front of him. “Should I do it again?”

“I, um… Is that ok?” Gai wondered, one hand coming to cup his face. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

The other boy’s fingers brushed away a tear falling from Kakashi’s normal eye. He hadn’t even realized it.

“Oh, this is not… Because of that” the Hatake assured. “It’s just the effort, Gai. I’m ok, I promise.”

His boyfriend observed him for a few moments, as if wanting to make sure he was not just saying that.

“O-Ok, then” he finally nodded. “But I don’t know if I’ll last much longer if you, um… Keep it up.”

Kakashi chuckled, feeling strangely proud of that.

“Not a challenge, so it doesn’t matter.”

He moved back to surround Gai’s member with his mouth, one hand pulling down at the other boy’s scrotum just to get a whine out of him. Then, he went back to deepthroat him. Kakashi was able to do it three more times before being left out panting, his boyfriend erection still not spilling completely.

“It appears you’re insatiable, rival” he mocked, knowing what that made to Gai.

Still, he didn’t cum.

“Would you like to hold me?” the Hatake proposed. “You could set up a rhythm that works for you.”

“I-I don’t know, rival… What if I push too hard or too fast?”

It was nice, to have his boyfriend considering that when the other men who had used him for the same purpose didn’t care at all about how he felt.

“I’m sure I could take it, but in any case I could pull out” he said, “or even pat on your leg with one of my hands to tell you to stop.”

That idea seemed to be a good one, Gai nodding with more conviction.

“So, I just… Grab your hair and pull down?”

“Yeah, but, maybe let me set the pace at the beginning? Until you get used to the movement, and then you can take control. How does that sound?”

“Perfect, rival.”

When Gai’s fingers curled around a handful of his hair, it was completely different from the other men that had taken his mouth. He was firm but gentler, as if he was about to brush Kakashi’s hair instead of pushing his mouth down his member.

Just as established, he was the one setting the rhythm initially, lips moving up and down the length in his mouth but without reaching the gagging point. His boyfriend’s arm followed the movement easily, the hair-pulling not causing him the same distress Kakashi had felt in the past.

After a couple of seconds, the Hatake closed his eyes. He was used to do that when sucking a target, even if it seemed risky, and for good reasons. First, it made the scene more real, which lowered the defense of the other person. Second, it made it easier for him to focus on his other senses, which were more useful for him in that situation. And third, it eliminated the possibility of having to look up to the other man while he did it. Gai, however, was not a target, and surely not a person he disliked to look at.

He opened his eyes again and glanced up. His boyfriend’s face was one of bliss, but still maintained the focus on Kakashi, their eyes interlocking the next second. The Hatake felt himself blushing, the stare of Gai and the image of himself in that position becoming too much for him. By then, the other boy had already taken up the task of marking the pace, hand moving slightly faster and with a stronger hold.

Kakashi relaxed his mouth and throat to make the slide easier, even if his boyfriend was careful enough to never make him gag.

“I’m… I’m c-close, rival” Gai panted. “C-Can I i-increase the rhythm?”

Eyes not leaving his boyfriend, the Hatake nodded as much as he could in his position and prepared for a faster pace. His saliva produced wet sounds that echoed in the room, mixing with Gai’s moans and whines as the pace of his hand complemented with the slight thrusts of his hips.

“A-AH! Ri-Rival!” a hard push, more than what Kakashi had expected, and his boyfriend was cumming. “AGH!”

He gagged as the last thrust made the erection brush the beginning of his throat, for a second the fear of his lunch coming up invading him. Luckily, Gai’s movements became softer after that, his gagging disappearing and the thrusting transforming into something more superficial, only the tip sliding in and out of the Hatake’s mouth. By the time he stopped moving, Kakashi was capable of seeing his release being held on the tip of the condom.

As his boyfriend let out a loud sigh and let himself fall on the mattress, he took out the rubber and made a knot to avoid a mess. Then, the Hatake got up on trembling legs due to the position he had been in, and sat on the bed as well, one elbow supporting his weight as he looked at Gai.

“Was it good?” he asked, his free hand removing the saliva dripping from his mouth.

“Incredible, rival!” the other boy happily breathed. “What you did with your throat… I can’t wait to feel it again another day.”

The Hatake just hummed lowly, eyes not meeting Gai’s.

“Kakashi?” his boyfriend called, a tired hand coming to rest on his cheek. “Is something wrong?”

 That was a good question.

“I’m… not sure” he admitted, letting himself fall over the mattress as well and turning so they were face to face. “I didn’t mind doing it.”

“But..?”

“But… I don’t think it’s an activity I would enjoy doing much in the future” he said. “I’m not saying never again, just… Not as often?”

“Of course, rival! I wouldn’t like to engage in any practice that the both of us couldn’t enjoy” Gai firmly assured. “As good as it felt, I would be perfectly fine if you don’t want to repeat the experience at all.”

Just as happened the other times, those sweet words made Kakashi feel warm inside and he had to kiss his boyfriend to subside the feeling a bit.

“Thank you” he murmured. Then, his mouth opened again to try and explain himself. “It’s just… It felt too much like doing it with a mission’s target. Not because of you, but… It’s hard to put it into words. When we have sex in other ways it’s not the same sensation, while this… I don’t know.”

“It’s ok, Kakashi” Gai said, smiling softly at him and brushing his grey locks out of his face. “You don’t have to explain it.”

He nodded, rubbing his nose against his boyfriend’s palm.

Even if they had used condoms, there was still a certain level of mess in the room, from discarded clothes around to the rubbers full of cum on the ground or their sweaty bodies over the mattress. The Hatake would fight anybody who said that sex was not a workout itself.

The sun had been replaced by the moon in the sky, its light entering through the window together with that coming from the stars. Making an effort, Kakashi grabbed his boyfriend’s body and pushed until they were both further over the mattress, no limbs hanging from the border. Gai let him do, not complaining at all as he curled against his side, using the other boy’s chest as a pillow.

“We should take a shower and have some dinner, rival.”

He rubbed his face against the hard pectoral underneath his cheek, breathing in the smell of sweat, sex and Gai.

“Later” the Hatake yawned. “First, a nap.”

Gai’s chuckle made his face tremble, and he pinched his side so he would stop moving and let him sleep. As expected, his boyfriend easily complied, arms coming up to hug his body and pull him closer.

Over the last few months, their relationship had reached a whole new level, entering the world of sex and awkward conversations. The experience, however, had increased their trust in each other, improved their communication and, evidently, brought a good amount of pleasure into their lives. Kakashi hadn’t expected all of that, admittedly scared at the beginning of not being able to enjoy this face of his relationship with Gai. Now, he was rather relieved of have given it a chance.

The world was not perfect, with too many deaths on his shoulders and crappy missions ahead of him. But, as long as he was able to go back home and find Gai, whether it was for a challenge, or a make out session or a sex marathon, he would be fine.

As a shinobi, many people had nudged him into finding something that could root him to the present and make dealing with reality more bearable. Kakashi had Gai. Comradery. Friendship. Rivalry. And now, they were learning each other’s touch.

It was risky, the warm and heavy feeling growing in his chest as they spent more and more time together. Love was something that would undoubtedly bring suffering to both of them. But it would be stupid to call it any other way. Kakashi just hoped that, by maintaining it a secret, he could keep enjoying that feeling. And, with some luck, maybe grow up with Gai by his side.

Learning Your Touch: All in

Hi!~ I'm sorry for the delay, but I went back home last week and was busy with my family! But now I'm back in Denmark and working, so I can use my free time to continue writing and posting xD As said before, this second chapter is going to be focused in anal sex, but the real one. So, you can expect realistic preparation, talking through it, uncomfortable moments... All those things don't mean it cannot be beautiful! I really liked how this chapter turned out, so I hope you can enjoy it as well!

-----------------------------------------------------

They talked about sex. As in, planned for it. Which went against everything Kakashi had read in his novels and all his previous experiences, but felt right anyways. The conversation was nothing short of awkward.

“I took everything we may need from the ANBU headquarters” he said, bringing a white plastic bag from under the bed.

Gai and him were sitting over the mattress in his bedroom, still slightly out of breath due to the heavy making out they had been previously doing. It was shortly after separating that his boyfriend had asked timidly about sex. Following their first time playing with each other, the same events had repeated themselves in a few occasions, making them confident enough to move on to anal intercourse. Apparently.

“Did you steal it?”

“Of course not, we get them as gifts. Short off.”

The other boy’s face showed no belief in those words, but the Hatake decided to ignore it as he pulled the items out of the bag. A box of condoms, two bottles of different lube and a plastic enema.

“Do you know for what each of these things are?”

“Uh… Condoms for prevention of disease transmission, lube for making it easier and… I’m not sure of this” Gai said, picking up the last item.

“That’s an enema” Kakashi explained, taking it to separate the two parts for showing. “It’s used for cleaning before having sex, you put warm water inside and flush it.”

“As in…?”

“Up your butt.”

His boyfriend’s face went immediately red.

“Isn’t that… uncomfortable?”

“I don’t know, I have never used it” the Hatake admitted. “But I guess it’s better to, so the possibilities of getting… You know, shit out, decrease.”

The other times Kakashi had had anal intercourse with his targets? Not pleasant for several reasons, but that one made him feel even dirtier than the sperm of an stranger on him.

“It makes sense, I guess” the other boy nodded. “So… Who does what?”

“That depends, what do you prefer?”

“I don’t know, rival, it’s the first time I even talk about it! What about you?”

Well, nobody had never asked him that question. He thought about it. Objectively. Liked it or not, he had some experience as the one being penetrated, therefore being able to notice when something was wrong —not that it stopped the other person— and communicate it. Supposedly, the whole thing didn’t have to hurt at all if done correctly, but shinobi were made to endure pain and that got in the lines of communication sometimes. If, on the other hand, he talked about feelings, he preferred to be the one being penetrated, as well. He hadn’t enjoyed it so far, but he feared doing something wrong and hurting Gai on his first time having anal sex. The experience was supposed to be pleasant and enjoyable, so he would do anything to make sure his boyfriend only got the best treatment.

“I’ll be the one on the bottom” he declared. “I think it’ll be easier that way.”

“Ok, rival, if you think it’s best, then I’ll believe it.”

He nodded, playing with the enema in his hands. He could not deny that using it made him nervous. Which was stupid, considering he had had a fifty-something years old man pounding on him a few months ago without any care.

“We should also plan for it” he rushed out. “At least the first time. I will have to get clean so it doesn’t become messy, and preparation may take some time to avoid pain, so…”

“Of course! This is an utter important experience for the both of us, rival!” Gai declared, hands grabbing his with the enema still in between his fingers. “I don’t want any of us getting hurt for racing into it! We could set for one of our next free days together, what do you think?”

That could work. He was leaving for a two-weeks long mission the next morning, and his boyfriend would be leaving for a shorter one with his team as well. Days off were not very common, though, so while they could still play around before the other had to leave the village, going further would probably take some time.

“It could work” he agreed. Then, just to make it clear, Kakashi added: “But it’s ok if once the day arrives, you’re not ready. It’s not a closed date, Gai, we can do it whenever it feels right.”

The other boy brought their hands up and kissed the Hatake knuckles.

“Thank you, rival” he said. “The same goes for you.”

He nodded, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the adoration look on Gai’s face. Luckily, he didn’t have to look at it much more, as they ended up kissing a few seconds after, the material brought from the headquarters falling to the floor. Well, they wouldn’t be needing them for now, so it was ok.

Almost three weeks later, a loud knock echoed against Kakashi’s apartment door. He had been pacing around the house for the last couple of hours, since he had felt Gai’s signature entering the village. Of course, his boyfriend had to go first to the Hokage’s office and then his own house to leave his things and probably change clothes, therefore giving him more than enough time to feel anxious.

The Hatake had been looking forwards to that moment —actually, dreaming about it—, but now that it was time… He was insecure. What if he did something wrong? What if it hurt even with Gai? It had taken them almost a month to find a common day-off, so backing down would probably be a bad idea.

“Rival! Are you home?”

It was rhetorical question, of course, as the other boy could no doubt feel his chakra signature inside, but it was still polite to ask.

“I’m coming” he said in a low voice. When the door opened, Gai was waiting for him with a big smile at the other side. “Hey. How was the mission?”

“Great! Those Kumo shinobi didn’t stand a chance against Konoha’s Blue Beast!” his boyfriend beamed, entering the apartment as Kakashi moved aside. “What about your last one, rival?”

“Success” was all he was allowed to say. “Shorter than expected. I came back a few days earlier.”

“Oh, that’s good, I guess… Did you miss me?”

“Of course not” he huffed, even if he went to hug him as soon as the front door closed. “Not even a bit.”

“I see” Gai chuckled, kissing the top of his head. “Well, I did miss you, so don’t mind me as I show it.”

Not at all ashamed of it, his boyfriend started to kiss the Hatake all over his face, first over the mask and once he got the approval to remove it, against naked skin. Kissing Gai felt like breathing.

Reaching the bedroom took them a couple of minutes because they kept bumping against every wall, not wanting to separate even for a second. They actually fell over the bed, tripping over a dog toy that apparently Kakashi had forgotten to pick up. Laughs echoed in the room.

“If this is you not missing me, rival, I cannot imagine how it’ll be the day you do miss me.”

The Hatake rolled his eyes, pushing Gai’s face away with a hand. Then, he crawled over his body and sat on top of his boyfriend’s crotch. The whimper was immediate, and he grinned as his hands caught on the end of his black t-shirt, pulling it up and off him. It was not the first time he stripped for Gai, but they had never done in that position, so the amazed face was kind of expected.

“You’re gorgeous, Kakashi” the other boy said, hands grabbing softly at his hips. “Can I touch you?”

“Yes.”

A moment after, his boyfriend’s fingers climbed up his torso to pinch around hard nipples, the Hatake holding back a moan at the sensation. He had found out that his chest was an incredible erogenous zone for him as long as it was Gai who touched it. And the other boy clearly enjoyed doing it.

“W-Wait” he mumbled. “Take off your jumpsuit, I want to touch you as well.”

His boyfriend nodded, bringing down his arms and pulling slightly at his clothing until he was able to roll it down over his belly button. Kakashi bent down immediately, mouth catching around one of Gai’s nipples and sucking at it.

“Rival!”

“You taste good.”

“I didn’t take a shower before coming…”

“Better.”

Lifting his head to look at Gai, he saw that the other boy’s face was fully red due to the comment. He smirked and purposedly moved his hips so their members would brush against each other. His boyfriend’s breath caught.

“You’re torturing me, rival” Gai groaned, hand back on his waist to try and still him.

“Well, I need to work you up for the next part.”

Silence. And then…

“Oh” the other boy babbled.

“Unless you don’t want” Kakashi quickly added. “We can always wait, you know, we agreed to only do it if we both felt prepared.”

“No!” Gai’s hands applied some comfortable pressure on him. “I mean, yes, I want to! Do you?”

“I wouldn’t have brought it up otherwise…”

His boyfriend nodded, still red.

“Good. Yes. That’s good, rival!” his hold faltered a bit, fingers passing to brush softly over the Hatake’s skin. “So, um… How are we going to do it?”

For the next part, Kakashi decided to sit a little bit lower on Gai’s legs, giving him the opportunity to incorporate as well so they could be face to face.

“We have everything we need, so I guess I should go to the bathroom, first” he commented, trying very hard to not look away from the other boy.

“Oh, of course! Do you, uh, want help?”

“No! I can… I can do it alone.”

He literally could not think of anything that would turn him off more than Gai looking at him while he cleaned his ass.

“I won’t take long.”

“Ok, rival, as you wish.”

“Good” he said, climbing down the bed. “Then I’ll, uh, go now.”

The enema was waiting for him in the bathroom, as well as an unopened package of wipes. Ironically, his bad eating habits were helping him then, having had a light lunch early that day and gone to the bathroom a couple of times. According to biology, he should be cleaned enough. Still, he made sure of washing his butt with the wipes until there was no trace of dirtiness, even looking at himself in the mirror in an awkward angle.

Then, he eyed at the enema. Right. Better not to think too much about it. He knew the theory already, so it shouldn’t be that difficult… Removing the small sachet with lube attached to it, he proceeded to fill it with warm water up to the indication. He took a deep breath and the released it.

“Come on, I have had bigger things up my ass” he murmured to himself.

The tiles of the bathroom were cold when he laid down, first opening the lube to put an small amount around his entrance and the rest on the tip of the enema. Bringing his legs up to his chest, he held it in position.

“Ok” he breathed. “Ok.”

He pushed the enema it, the sensation not as uncomfortable as he had expected. Until he pressed it to fill up his butt. It felt weird. At that point of his life, even weirder than having an actual penis inside. At least he had gotten used to that solid sensation.

Once Kakashi felt the enema empty, he took the tip out and clenched his ass to avoid a massive disaster. Now, he was supposed to wait. He huffed, one arm coming up to cover his eyes as he counted. Six minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Yup, that sounded about right. It was either take it, or poop all over his bathroom floor.

Releasing the enema in the toilet was equally disgusting and relieving, but the overall clarity of it compensated the experience. He was more than happy to clean himself again with wipes afterwards, satisfied with the result even if he didn’t have anything to compare it to.

Quickly, he disposed of the items —wipes to the trash, enema to the sink for cleaning it later— and put his underwear back on before entering the bedroom. Gai was doing push-ups on the bed. Because, of course, that was the best way to spend time as your boyfriend took an enema.

“I think I did it well enough” he commented, approaching the mattress slowly. “There shouldn’t be any disgusting surprise.”

“Oh! That was faster than I expected, rival!” the other boy beamed, stopping his exercise to look at him with an honest smile on his face. “And we shouldn’t worry about it that much! I’m sure if something happens we’ll be able to deal with it as it comes.”

Why did Kakashi’s stomach like to do a flip whenever Gai talked with so much convince and tranquility? Decided to not dwell too much on it, the Hatake climbed back up on the bed and grabbed his boyfriend by the neck, pulling him into a deep kiss.

They fell down on the mattress with their lips still locked, hands moving to clumsily explore the other’s. Not liking to be the only one in his underwear, Kakashi found the knot of Gai’s hitai-ate to unmake it and threw the protector away. Without it, keep pulling the jumpsuit down was rather easy and, if together with it the thong got caught, he didn’t mind.

As expected, his boyfriend didn’t stay far behind, one hand slipping under his underwear as the other brushed the Hatake’s spine up and down, softly pushing him forwards so their members could touch. They almost lost themselves in the feeling of the other’s fist against their arousals, the sensation being something they had gotten used to during their moments together over the last month. Wonderful handjobs were not their aim that day, though.

“Wait” he groaned against Gai’s lips. “W-We have to pace ourselves.”

His boyfriend released him almost immediately, the warm contact being instantly missed.

“O-Of course! Sorry, rival, I got so caught up on it that I… forgot.”

“That’s alright, it happened to me as well.”

Gai smiled, fingers still brushing against his hard member.

“So, uh, what do I do?”

“I need to be prepared first, so it doesn’t hurt” he explained. “That’s what the lube is for, mostly.”

He moved, reaching the white bag under his bed to take out one bottle and a condom. His boyfriend followed his movements with the eyes, probably ready to jump into action with whatever order Kakashi gave him.

The thing was, the Academy didn’t explain much about sex. They stuck with relationships among men and women, which bits went where and the correct way to use protection in order to avoid producing offspring too early. Anal sex? Definitely not in the writing exam. The Hatake had had to learn all about it in ANBU. Which he didn’t consider very useful, either, as most of his lessons weren’t appliable to honey-pot missions. If anything, what he remembered better was how to please the other person, and only because that normally made it end faster.

“So, um, you’re supposed to start first with your fingers, so my muscles get use to the sensation and relax” he continued, back in front of Gai who was rather flushed. “I can do it, if you’re not comfortable with it.”

“No! I-I want to, rival!” he beamed, taking the lube from him. “I just… I imagined you in that position with my fingers and, uh…”

Kakashi noticed then that the hand not holding the bottle rested over his member, as if trying to hide it.

Oh.

He chuckled.

“That’s alright, Gai, I think we getting aroused ahead is kind of the main goal here” his boyfriend blushed more, if possible. “Although, first you should wash your hands.”

“Oh, of course!” the other boy nodded, scrambling out of bed. “I’ll be right back, rival!”

He counted about three minutes before Gai appeared again, hands a little wet but otherwise cleaner than what Kakashi remembered ever seeing them. His boyfriend climbed back onto the mattress slowly, eyes set on him with a hint of eagerness and lust, as well as a good amount of doubt.

“So, uh, I just..?”

The Hatake tried to hide that he was equally nervous. He didn’t think it was working, but still.

“We need lubrication and then… Well, you go for it, I guess.”

“O-Ok” the other boy mumbled, opening the lube to fill the fingers of his right hand. “Then, I, uh… Here.”

For the first time since they started, he saw Gai taking the initiative, crawling until he was in front of him. They were both resting on their knees, so the other boy just had to bent down a bit to catch his lips. Diving into the kiss, Kakashi barely noticed when Gai’s index finger brushed against his rear. He whined.

“Is this fine?”

“Y-Yeah, I just didn’t expect it” he admitted, kissing him again. “Can you… Do it slowly?”

“Of course, rival.”

For better adjustment, he let his boyfriend lay him down slowly over the mattress. The position was clearly exposing —belly up, legs slightly spread out—, but he had other things to worry about at the moment. It took a bit before the tip of Gai’s finger actually entered him, his ass immediately constricting around the intrusion. The Hatake breathed in and out, noticing his boyfriend’s movements had stopped completely.

“Is it too much? Should I have waited more?” he frantically asked. “I’m sorry, I should have asked before. Did I hurt you? I can take it out, or will that hurt you more? I don’t know…”

“Gai” he protested, grabbing the other boy’s face and forcing his eyes on him. “You didn’t hurt me. It feels weird, but not bad.”

“O-Oh, good, that’s good” his boyfriend mumbled, lips awkwardly moving with his face pressed from the cheeks. “Can I move, then?”

“Give me a minute” the Hatake decided, closing his eyes to get used to the feeling. He had been fingered only a couple of times before, without lube and rather fast, so he didn’t have anything to compare the sensation to. But at least it was not hurtful. “I’m ok, now. I think that my, uh… prostate should be close so, if you move your finger slightly up and in, then… AH!”

Kami-sama!

He felt Gai starting to remove his hand.

“Do not take it out” he groaned, teeth clenching. “Repeat what you just did.”

“Oh, ok” his boyfriend said, adding with more enthusiasm: “Like… This?”

“Agh! YES!”

It was an electric sensation, what he felt. A kind of pleasure he had never experienced before and ran from his groin to the rest of his body. It was not the first time somebody touched his prostate, but he doubted the people he had bedded were in search of his pleasure. Having that spot battered painfully was not the same as it being pressured like Gai was doing.

“I’m gonna move now, rival.”

“Uh-uh” he mumbled, hands grabbing the sheets underneath.

Kakashi didn’t open his eyes for a bit, instead enjoying the sensation of Gai’s finger moving in and out of him, brushing over that marvelous spot and —shamefully— whimpering when a wave of pleasure hit him. He was fairly sure his member was dripping pre-cum like crazy.

“You look beautiful like this, rival” the other boy murmured against his ear.

Kami, since when could he speak in that tone?

“A-Another” he moaned. “You can use a second finger.”

Gai hummed, apparently trusting his judgment this time. He felt more lube spread over his entrance before a second digit slowly pucked in. The weird sensation increased, but so did the pleasure when his prostate was hit again.

“Good?”

“Yeah” he nodded, finally opening his eyes. “Keep going.”

His boyfriend’s expression was one of adoration and patience, as if all his nervousness had left when he realized Kakashi was enjoying himself. Looking down, the Hatake noticed he was not the only one dripping pre-cum, so at least Gai was getting off with his pleasure as well. Smiling —possibly stupidly—, he pushed the other boy down by the neck for a kiss. The feeling of those lips while a couple of fingers brushed over his prostate? Definitely a good one. He moaned into the kiss.

For the next digit, Gai just looked intensively at him while gently pushing it inside, a nod from him everything he needed as a confirmation. It almost felt like too much for a second, his hold on Gai increasing until his fingertips were noticeable on the other boy’s skin.

“Do I take them out?”

“N-No” he breathed. “Just… Give me a moment to adjust.”

The ceiling was of an awful grey color, perfectly visible thanks to the light coming from the window —curtains drawn, of course— and worked as a perfect distraction for him. Kakashi evened his breathing and tried to relax his muscles more, ignoring the tightness of Gai’s fingers inside him. It was just slightly painful and mostly weird, but he was confident the pleasure would come back. It had to.

The feeling of his boyfriend’s free hand brushing against his side brought him back from his mind. It also gave him a perfect idea.

“Gai” he half-whined. “Do you think you could..?”

One of his hands moved in the general direction of his crotch, the other boy’s eyes opening wide.

“Of course, rival!”

He barely needed a minute to readjust his posture —careful of not moving the fingers inside of the Hatake— before his palm grabbed at the hard member. The bliss sensation was immediate, pleasure shooting through Kakashi’s body and making him moan. Gai had developed a fantastic technique during their previous times, and his fingers moved expertly up and down his erection, pre-cum being spread all over. As his tip was played with, the pain in his rear started to decrease until only the weird feeling of the digits inside was left.

“Ok” he panted. “I’m ok, Gai, you can move now.”

His boyfriend looked up at him —his eyes before focusing on the job he was doing—, some concern still left on his expression.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Yeah, I am.”

Nodding, Gai slowly removed his three fingers, the emptiness becoming overwhelming for Kakashi in just a moment. Fortunately, he barely had to wait a couple of seconds before he was filled again, once the other boy gathered the lube falling from him to ease the entrance. That time, just an stretching sensation followed the intrusion. A tug on his hard member made him moan.

The Hatake felt his consciousness threatening to slip off as pleasure invade him. It was almost too much, being filled while a hand played with him so carefully. At some point, his hips started to move following Gai’s rhythm, not in a fake display as he had been forced to do in the past. No. This was just his body reacting to the undeniable pleasure he was being offered. The Hatake could cry.

“Ah, ah, AH!” he moaned, ankles sinking in the mattress.

Kami, if they continued like that… Both of his hands shot up to grab the one on his member.

“W-Wait” Kakashi panted, not even capable of feeling ashamed of his tone, “I can’t… I won’t last like this.”

Gai’s hand released him slowly and interlaced their fingers instead, completely ignoring the pre-cum spreading on their joined palms.

“Can I kiss you, at least?” his boyfriend asked.

“Yes, please.”

The lips on him were equally capable of giving him pleasure, but at least the overwhelming sensation decreased a notch. As the rest of his senses proceeded to catch up with the present, Kakashi was able to perceive the smell of sex in the bedroom and the amount of noises echoing in the walls. The wet slap of Gai’s fingers inside him. The moans leaving his mouth every few seconds. His boyfriend’s gasps. Their mouths clashing against each other. It was real. It was perfect.

That kiss must have been the longer they ever shared, or maybe he just lost track of time as he whined inside of Gai’s mouth, tongues brushing softly.

“I’m ready” he mumbled against his boyfriend’s neck after a bit. “We can… I’m ready.”

Gai separated a bit from him, actually sitting back in between the Hatake’s spread legs, fingers still moving inside of him. Like that, Kakashi was perfectly capable of seeing their leaking members, the other boy’s almost pulsing.

“How are you getting off with this?” he groaned.

“Well, rival, you’re very handsome like this” Gai responded as if it was obvious, middle finger curling up and making him moan, “and I really enjoy pleasuring you.”

The Hatake huffed, trying to hide his face behind his arm, but his boyfriend removed it almost immediately.

“Beautiful.”

“Shut up” he protested. “And take your fingers out.”

“Isn’t it too soon?” Gai honestly questioned. “You said it will hurt if you’re not stretched enough, so maybe we should continue a bit longer…”

At that point, Kakashi could feel the movement of the other boy’s digits inside, but the tightness was not nearly as close as to what he had felt at the beginning.

“I could add a fourth finger.”

“Ease up, tiger” he chuckled. “You may be bigger than me now, but you’re not that big.”

 “I will be, one day!”

It kind of sounded like a promise.

“Well, then when that day arrives, I’ll let you fit your hole fist in if you want” he joked, managing to make his boyfriend blush one more time. “For now, I think this is more than fine.”

This time, Gai nodded and slowly removed his fingers. Once they were completely out, the Hatake was able to feel his muscles contracting and relaxing, as if expecting to find some resistance again. It was weird, but not entirely uncomfortable. He incorporated a bit, feeling the lube spilling out of him and over the mattress. The mess they were making exceeded any other of their previous plays, which he supposed it was to be expected.

“Where is the condom?” he asked, looking around.

“Uh, I think it fell” the other boy said. “It should be… Here!”

He quickly retrieved the squared package from the ground, offering it to Kakashi.

“Do you want me to put it on?” he asked.

“What? Oh, no! I mean, I can do it!” Gai loudly claimed, realizing his position. “Unless, that is, you want to…”

“Yeah.”

“Really?”

“Gai, I have jerked you off a few times already, I’m sure I can put a condom on you without too much fuss.”

Without giving the other boy a chance to answer, he took the package from his hand and fumbled with it until it teared. For a second he questioned if the small round plastic would be able to fit Gai —it really seemed like a tight fit—, but as soon as he started to roll it down as they had been taught he realized the stupidity of it. The thing was so elastic it could probably have his own head inside if they tried it.

“How does it feel?” he asked, once it was completely in place. “I just took the standard, but I think there are different types we could try, another time.”

“Well, it’s… Like having a sock on? But way thinner, so it doesn’t bothers or hurts” Gai explained with a weird face as he looked at his now protected member. “It’s not too tight or too loose, so it should be fine according to the Academy, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Ok, then… How do we do it?”

Kakashi thought about it for a moment, trying to remember the indications in the ANBU classes instead of his previous experiences.

“I suppose I could stand on my knees and hands? Or just lay on my belly” he said. “Whatever you prefer, really.”

“Oh, and what about…” Gai doubted for a second. “I mean, I, um… would like to look at you while… If that’s ok with you, of course!”

Normally, the Hatake would try to avoid such position. Not only because it had hurt more in the past —mostly due to the little consideration from his partners—, but he didn’t like to see the other’s face, either. They would attempt to kiss or lick him then, and he would be forced to fake enjoyment.

This was different, though. Even if there was lust in Gai’s expression, it was accompanied by adoration and concern, too. Being able to look at it while they had sex didn’t sound like a bad idea.

“Ok” he muttered, nodding with his head. “We could do it as we were before? What do you think?”

“Yes, rival! I would like that very much” his boyfriend beamed, bending forwards for a kiss. “Are you ready?”

Kakashi’s lips brushed against Gai’s again, smiling.

“Yeah” he said, letting himself fall over the mattress again. “Ready.”

His legs opened as many other times before, but his boyfriend’s hands on him were soft and caring, stroking his skin up from his thighs to his entrance. He spread the leftover lube around before applying more on his member, possibly more than necessary to avoid hurting Kakashi.

“So, um, I’m going to start pushing in now, rival” Gai said, thumbs moving up and down on his thighs.

He nodded, not sure of trusting his voice.

The pressure felt unbearable almost immediately, the tip of his boyfriend’s erection just breaching him. The Hatake closed his eyes and breathed through it, hoping the pain would go away. It didn’t.

“Stop” he pleaded for the first time in his life. “Please, stop.”

And Gai did. Instantly. Tears fell down Kakashi’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, rival! I’m so sorry! What do I do? Do you want me to pull it out?” even if the other boy’s voice was frantic and worried, his hands cared slowly over his thighs, soothing him.

“I-I don’t know” the Hatake mumbled, finding hard to breathe. “It’s not like before with your fingers, but I don’t know why.”

Slowly, Gai moved back. Part of the pain left with him, but the stretch remained there. Still, Kakashi didn’t want to stop. He refused to believe that all sex had to be painful. This was something he wanted to enjoy with his boyfriend.

“Maybe the angle?” the other boy suggested with some doubt. “I-I mean, when I was using my fingers I could bend my wrist to align them, but like this… It’s complicated. So, if you want to try again we could raise your hips somehow?”

It seemed simple enough, and it kind of made sense to Kakashi, so he nodded. Gai didn’t need much more before reaching for the bed’s pillow and a cushion the Hatake used when reading. Carefully, his boyfriend slid them under his hips as he raised them by setting his feet on the mattress. Having his head at a lower height than the rest of his body was not uncomfortable, but neither something he was used to.

“Is this fine?” Gai asked.

“I think so, the position is not straining me.”

“Good” the other boy swallowed. “Then, should I try again?”

“Yes. Just… Could you use more lube?”

“Of course, rival!”

And so he did, first on his member and then on Kakashi’s entrance, even prodding in with a finger to coat the insides. It felt messy, but it didn’t matter at that point.

“Ok?”

“Ok.”

Gai pushed slowly in one more time. The stretch came back, but it was not as bad as before, more like when adding another finger. As for the pain, it was muffled, just a tiny notion in the back of his mind.

“Good?”

“Y-Yeah, keep going a bit.”

His boyfriend pulled back before moving forwards again, the tip of his member finally brushing against Kakashi’s prostate. He whined.

“AH! There!”

Gai didn’t need more indications, movements becoming more fluent as he slid out and then in at a nice pace, his erection hitting the same place again and again. It didn’t take long before the Hatake was moaning with the same insensitivity as when being fingered, the pain and stretch long forgotten.

His next pant was captured by his boyfriend’s lips, body completely covering his as he moved his hips back and forth with perfect muscle control.

“Can I touch you?” Gai asked against his cheek.

Kakashi just nodded, another whine leaving his mouth. The other boy’s hand closing around his member increased the pleasure to a new level. Uncapable of controlling himself, his own hips thrusted up, following the movement of Gai’s fist, and when coming down his prostate was hit with precision.

“Fuck, GAI!” he loudly moaned, voice not even sounding like his. “Y-You can… keep going. Deeper.”

One of his hands managed to catch the other boy’s hips, finding then the center of his lower back and pushing softly down to guide the movement like he wanted. As he was further penetrated, the stretching feeling came back just to disappear as the rest of Gai’s member brushed over his prostate and his fingers pinched the tip of his own erection.

“You’re so beautiful like this, rival” his boyfriend panted against his ear. “You feel so… so good…”

Kakashi moaned.

They kissed as their bodies moved against each other, sometimes soft and others accelerated, as if the pleasure was pulling them in two different directions at the same time. The Hatake bit Gai’ shoulder, leaving the imprint of his teeth in there. The other boy made sure of sucking the life out of his neck, no doubt taking advantage of him using a mask to cover any mark.

Suddenly, just as he felt the hilt of the erection hitting his entrance, Kakashi found himself having problems to follow the speed. Bottoming out seemed to have aroused Gai even more, his hips almost pistoning back and forth. At the beginning, the sensation was pleasurable, his prostate being hit with precision and making him see the stars. Then, it became too much.

The hand on Gai’s back remained there, but the one that up until that moment had been clawing at the sheets flew up to his boyfriend’s shoulder.

“S-Slower down… Ah, AH!” he panted in between moans. “Just… Ugh! Just a bit.”

“Su-Sure, rival” his boyfriend nodded against his neck, hips turning down the rhythm a notch. “Like this?”

“Yeah” he breathed, whining as his prostate was pressed again. “Oh, fuck! This is perfect.”

There was a well-known feeling forming in his lower belly, pre-cum leaving his member like crazy as Gai continued his expertise work on him.

“I’m… I’m close” he admitted, not sure of how much time had passed.

“Me too, rival.”

Gai kissed him, one hand holding his hips down while the other brushed Kakashi’s cheek with a delicacy that didn’t fit the moment. Then, those same fingers moved down again, grabbing his member and palming it up and down in a way he knew drove the Hatake crazy. The mix of moan and whine that left his mouth as his prostate was hit at the same time was nothing short of shameful.

“GAI!”

“A little more, rival, just… A little… More…”

“F-Fuck, Gai. AH! I-I can’t… I’m…” his hips moved without permission, looking for more friction.

“Yes, rival!” his boyfriend panted against his mouth. “That’s… I’m… AH!”

Gai’s body thrusted forwards forcefully, his member completely buried inside of the Hatake, hips slowly rocking as his orgasm subsided. And still, even in his bliss, the other boy managed to keep pleasuring him, the hand on his erection making him moan until he spilled, too.

It felt perfect.

For the first time, sex with penetration was good.

A moment later, Gai’s body gave up, member slipping out as he fell over him, which was kind of awkward with a couple of cushions under his hips and cum painting his belly, but he didn’t care. His legs managed to move a bit, covering his boyfriend’s ankles to keep him in place as his arms hugged him.

“Thank you” he murmured against his ear.

“Any… time” the other boy hummed with his mouth over Kakashi’s chest. “Just… for what? Was the orgasm that good?”

The Hatake chuckled.

“Yeah, definitely” he said. “But I meant for all of this. For proving me it didn’t have to hurt.”

Gai’s head lifted a bit to lock their eyes.

“Rival” he breathed.

There was possibly a speech waiting to follow that word. It was not what Kakashi wanted. Instead, he forced the muscles of his neck to stretch so he could kiss his boyfriend.

“Let’s rest for a bit before cleaning.”

The other boy seemed to understand his desires, nodding and making his damp hair brush against the Hatake’s sensible nipples.

“As you wish, rival. You’re rather comfortable, so I don’t have complaints.”

“Yeah, well, you’re heavy, so don’t get too used to it.”

Gai’s laugh echoed in the room, his stomach doing a flip at the sweetness of it.

They remained like that —dirty, full of sweat, almost breathless— for a few more minutes, until the feeling shifted from ‘magical afterglow’ to ‘disgusting fluids all over us’.

“I think I’m going to move now, Kakashi” his boyfriend said. “The condom is starting to feel uncomfortable.”

“I was thinking the same.”

Slowly, as if his body was already sore from the exercise, Gai incorporated into a sitting position. The Hatake managed to support his weight on the elbows, feeling a little uncomfortable at the wetness in between his legs.

“So, uh… To avoid it spilling out I have to hold from the base and pull out, right?” the other boy asked.

“Yeah. I see you really listened to the instructions they gave us at the Academy” he joked.

His smile, however, disappeared the moment his eyes settled on Gai’s member and he saw the brown spot on the tip.

“Shit” he mumbled, rolling to one side of the bed to take an extra package of wipes from the bag underneath. “Here. I’m sorry.”

His boyfriend frowned for a second, as if not understanding what was happening until he followed Kakashi’s line of sight.

“Oh. Nothing to be sorry about, rival!” he beamed, taking a wipe and cleaning the condom without a second thought. “We knew this could happen, so it’s all fine!”

Still, the Hatake blushed, fully embarrassed.

“And your fingers...?”

The other boy lifted them up, inspecting each digit that had been inside of him.

“Perfectly clean! So, as I said, rival, nothing to be sorry for!” he smiled.

Kami-sama, it was as if he had challenged himself to make Kakashi fall in love with him even more.

In silence, the Hatake observed the other boy taking off the condom with a concentration face, not spilling a drop out and making a tight knot at the end.

“Done! Where can I dispose of it?”

“The bathroom trash should be fine” he indicated. “And, uh, maybe you could bring some towels as well?”

“Of course, rival!”

Gai bent forwards to quickly kiss him before jumping off the bed. Kakashi watched his sexy butt walk away with a smile. Then, his lips changed into a grimace as he looked down on himself. He had leftovers of his own cum sticking on his chest and belly, and the mess in between his legs was just disgusting. His entrance still felt stretched, muscles contracting and relaxing as lube spilled out.

Sighing, the Hatake let himself fall back down on the mattress.

“There were several towels to choose from, rival, so I took the softest one. I hope you don’t mind.”

Kakashi made a humming noise as he looked up to the ceiling. That was, until his body flinched upon feeling a warm cloth brushing his thighs.

“Sorry! I should have asked” his boyfriend said. “Is it ok if I clean you?”

“Why is the towel warm?”

“Oh, because I guessed you would be sore, and as a taijutsu master I know that a warm cloth can help with muscle soreness, so…” he explained. “But I can go for a cold and dry one, if you prefer, rival!”

There was Gai, undoubtedly making Kakashi fall for him all over again.

“No, it feels nice” he nodded. “Do you mind?”

Still embarrassed, the Hatake separated his legs for better access, and a moment later the warm cloth came back, slowly cleaning the lube away. Against what his body was used to after sex, he felt himself relaxing, enjoying the attention his boyfriend was offering him and feeling way better by the time the towels went away.

“Good?” Gai asked a minute later. “I can go for another one, if you want.”

“It’s ok” he denied, finally incorporating as he felt cleaner. “I think it’s time for us to change the bed and maybe take a shower.”

“Great plan, rival!” the other boy beamed, looking at him with a shy expression before adding: “And after maybe we can cuddle for a bit?”

He smiled.

“Sure.”

Getting rid of the sheets was easy enough, but they both stood looking down on the mattress afterwards.

“Ugh” the Hatake complained. “I should have expected this.”

The lube had soaked through the sheets and on the bed as well. Not too much, but enough to leave a humid stain in there.

“Well, it’s of course unfortunate, rival, but nothing some air cannot fix!”

He hoped.

“Next time, we’re putting some towels over the sheets.”

“Next time?”

“Yeah?” the Hatake said, looking up to his boyfriend. “Unless you don’t want..?”

“Oh, no!” he exclaimed. “I do! I definitely do, rival! Very much, in fact.”

Kakashi laughed.

“Good. Now, let’s go take a shower and see if the mattress dries in the meantime.”

Making a ball with the dirty sheets and towels, he put them under his arm to throw them on the laundry basket in the bathroom, and with the other hand he grabbed his boyfriend. Gai, of course, let himself being dragged without a word. They entered the shower while smiling, the warm water being very much welcomed by his skin. Still holding his boyfriend’s hand, he pulled him in under the showerhead and then kissed his lips. Gai happily laughed.

“Is it ok if I help you cleaning, rival?” he asked, foreheads touching.

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

Their hands travelled each other bodies’, but this time without any sexual context. Kakashi fingers brushed over Gai’s member and belly while the other boy carefully rinsed his back and ass. The soreness of his entrance was still there, but the feeling of his boyfriend’s digits caring the skin was blissful. That sensation only increased as they stepped out some time later, Gai picking up the largest towel available and drying him carefully before making him into a giant burrito. He stayed completely still as his boyfriend dried himself with slightly less care, hair still dripping a bit when he turned to pick the Hatake up, bridal style.

“What are you doing?” he chuckled.

“Carrying you to bed, of course!”

“You know I can walk even like this, right?” Kakashi pointed out. However, he was uncapable of doing nothing more than sighing at Gai’s pout. “It’s ok.”

The other boy’s face brightened up as if those words were a magical gift. Comfy and warm, he was carried back to the naked mattress. It was still slightly wet from the lube that had soaked it, but not to an uncomfortable level. They would have to wait a bit before putting some new sheets, though.

As the bed sank towards the other side —Gai’s body coming closer to his—, Kakashi crawled as best as he could until he was face to face with his boyfriend. Getting his arms out of the towel was a challenge itself, but the effort was worth it to brush the other boy’s bangs out of the way.

“Are you tired?”

“Just a bit, rival” he said as a yawned overtook him. “And you?”

“I can stay awake for a little while.”

Gai nodded, staying silent afterwards, just looking at him. Kakashi’s heart started to beat faster just because of it. He found himself in some kind of limbo, as if his brain was trying to process the fact that having sex could actually be an enjoyable activity. One that he would very much like to repeat sometime in the close future. Because, yes, there had been some pain and uncomfortable moments, but he had been in control at all times. Gai had listened to him, worrying about how he was feeling. There hadn’t been a moment in which he didn’t feel safe and… loved. It was scary, but also exciting.

Which, unfortunately, also made him think about other things.

“Is there something wrong?” his boyfriend asked, surprising him. “You have your overthinking face on, rival.”

“I don’t” he huffed, making an effort to relax his frown. “Just… Are you sure you don’t mind? Now that you know how it is like, if I have to… have sex with a target, in a mission.”

He found the idea somehow disturbing at the moment. Would the touch of somebody else erase the one Gai had imprinted on him? Would the new memories become disgusting ones as well? He knew he could still sleep with somebody else if the mission required it, but… He shuddered at the idea.

“I wouldn’t say I don’t mind, Kakashi, but…” the other boy stopped for a moment, as if thinking. “You told me it was worth it. Whatever you meant with that, I don’t think it has changed just because we had sex. If you’re ok with it, then so am I. Just…”

Doubt.

“Yes?”

“I, um… I saw your face when I hurt you by accident, rival” he muttered. “I could see in your expression it was a pain you had experienced before but that you’re capable to hide if necessary. I just hate thinking you’ll be hurt like that.”

He nodded, acknowledging the comment, because there was nothing else he could do with it. If he continued with the honey-pot missions, there would be, undeniably, some level of pain associated to them. Some targets were more considerate than others, but they all caused him physical or emotional distress when having sex. Even if —against his will— his body reacted to their ministrations and some of them even managed to make him cum, it was never a pleasant experience. But he could not forget about the people he had saved thanks to him being able to get close enough to those targets. If it wasn’t for his sacrifice, children would have become slaves of despicable adults.

“I think… I think I’ll keep accepting the missions, if they come” he said, very low, nose brushing against Gai’s. “As long as I can go back to you after.”

“Always, rival.”

Kakashi kissed him, slow and caring, those three words they were not able to pronounce yet transferring from his lips to Gai’s. Then, he turned around, crawling out of the towel and letting his boyfriend’s arms hold him instead, back pressed against a hard and comfortable chest. With Gai’s face buried on his neck and his big hands keeping him warm, he fell easily asleep just seconds after the other boy’s snores filled the room.

Learning Your Touch: Tentative Hands

Kakashi wanted to have sex with Gai. He was sure of that. But... It was complicated. The past experiences he had had were not good, and he didn't want to ruin Gai's first time. So, they talked about it. There were some fears and worries. Also laughs. And, especially, the joy of learning each other touch. Communication, turned out, was what really made a difference. . “Just… Well, as I told you I don’t have, uh… Any experience with other people. And even with myself I haven’t been very forwards, so, I… Um… What if I do it wrong?” Kakashi brought him down for another kiss. “Then we’ll do it wrong together” he assured. “You cannot be worse than the others, Gai, if only because I want to do it with you.”

--------------------------------------

Kakashi enjoyed very much kissing Gai. Whereas the first time they had done it felt chaotic and anxious, that changed from the second time on. It grounded him. It was as if, the moment their lips touched, he was able to breathe. For however long they were kissing each other, his mind didn’t think about his father, or Obito, or Rin, or Minato, or Kushina. No dead love ones holding him down. No missions or shinobi duties. In that moment, he was just Gai’s boyfriend.

And he loved it.

Then, the other teen decided to migrate his lips from the Hatake’s mouth to his naked neck and his hand to his ass. He separated almost immediately, looking at Gai with a surprised expression.

“I-I’m sorry” the boy said, removing his lips and hands. “Is this not ok?”

In truth, Kakashi shouldn’t be surprised. They were almost adults, Gai seventeen and him sixteen. Also, they were in his bedroom and it was the middle of the night. If they were going to bring their relationship to the next level, it definitely would be in that context.

“It’s not that” he let out, realizing his lack of response was making the other boy worry. “Just… Have you done it before?”

They for sure had never gone further than making out. And even if things got heated, they didn’t remove clothes or let their hands wander much. In fact, Kakashi’s hands rarely left the nape of Gai’s neck.

The shifting of his boyfriend to sit up on the mattress indicated him that, whatever was going to happen, would take place after a conversation. He incorporated as well, feeling a little nervous.

“No” Gai answered. “I mean! For sure I have been curious, and, and… I know how to please myself! But I never took up on any offer I have been made, especially not since we got together, rival! I have been completely faithful to you!”

Oh.

“I haven’t” he babbled, nausea going up his throat.

“What?”

Gai’s expression had dropped. His eyes were opened wide, lips separated and posture tense. By the looks of it, he was feeling a mix of disappointment and heartbreak. Kakashi realized his mistake immediately.

“Not because I didn’t want to!” he assured, attempting to reach the other teen’s hands but stopping in the last second. He might not want his touch, after that. “I… It was the mission.”

Thick eyebrows frowned.

“A mission?! What kind of mission would…?” Gai stopped himself the moment his brain reached the obvious answer to his question. “Oh.”

The Hatake simply nodded, unsure of what else to do. Where exactly did that leave them?

“I… wasn’t aware you were required to do those kind of missions in ANBU.”

“Sometimes there is no other option” he shrugged. Normally, not thinking much about it was the best. “There are some restrictions, though. Not more than three a year, two if you’re underage. I only did one since we got together. I should have told you, I’m sorry.”

If he tried, Kakashi could probably come up with some kind of excuse: he dissociated too much to remember, he was not allowed to talk about missions, he was ashamed… He didn’t want to say any of that, though, even if there was a small truth in each of those statements. Mostly, he had convinced himself that it didn’t matter. Because, the same way he used his body as a weapon to kill an enemy, he could use it as a temptation to get close enough in situations in which there was no other option. Both things were equally disgusting, but if Gai was able to live with the first one, there shouldn’t be a problem with the other. Right?

Judging by the other boy’s expression, he was not sure of what to think.

“I’m sorry” the Hatake repeated, for good measure. “I don’t know what else to say.”

“I… Is it worth it?”

There was a tone accompanying the question that made Kakashi feel disgust. He retreated slightly back, sending Gai a pointy look.

“I don’t enjoy it” he spatted.

The other teen’s eyes opened wide, as if realizing his mistake.

“I didn’t mean it like that!” he exclaimed, bowing his head. “I’m sorry! I just… I know you cannot talk about it but, the result… Is it worth it?”

Kakashi thought about the thirty-two kids he had saved during his last honey-pot mission, all destined to be sold as sex slaves. Some of them already traumatized by the men and women that kidnapped them. His ANBU team had brought them back to their villages and families, tears running down their eyes as they hugged. If he hadn’t slept with the headman of the whole operation and then been taken to the place where the children were, their lives would be completely different.

“Yes.”

Gai looked at him straight into his eyes, taking in the answer.

“Ok” he said a minute after. “I… understand, then.”

“You don’t have to agree with it, Gai” the Hatake pointed out. “I know it’s disgusting. Maybe if I talk to my superiors they’ll take me out of this kind of missions.”

“Really?”

He shrugged. Kakashi could try. But most likely they would end up needing him at some point, or if not him any other young ANBU. Either way, someone would have to do it.

In the past, he wouldn’t have even thought about it. If it was the mission, he would do it regardless of what Gai believed. That was a part of their relationship that terrified him; how much he seemed to be changing.

The other boy must have sensed what he was really thinking, as he moved forward to grab one of his hands. It was bigger than Kakashi’s and also warm. Their fingers fit perfectly together.

“Can I ask one more question about it?”

The Hatake sent him a side look, nodding.

“It’s ok if you don’t want to answer. I just… I’m sorry, rival, but I don’t think it’s fair that you, or anyone for that matter, have to do something that it’s supposed to be intimate and beautiful with somebody else for the mission.”

“The question, Gai” he sighed.

“Since when?”

Oh, well, if the other boy didn’t like the fact that he had to do honey-pot missions, he would definitely don’t like the response to that.

“Two years” the Hatake said. “Fourteen is the minimum age for it. If anyone younger is required, we just use Henges.”

As expected, Gai’s hand squeezed his hard, almost in a painful way.

“Why not use them for all missions?”

Kakashi let out another sigh.

“Because Henges can break under strenuous situations and then both the shinobi and the mission would be compromised.”

“B-But…”

“Gai” he groaned. “You don’t have to like it, just believe that we can help a lot of people this way, innocent people. And if that’s not enough, then I would understand if you…”

Finishing that sentence was too much. Not a lie, though, because he would understand if Gai didn’t want to be with him anymore. After all, for what he said he had been saving himself for the right person, giving it a lot of importance. Kakashi, on the other hand, had bedded men and women older enough to be their parents and grandparents. The comparison was, undoubtedly, nothing short of disgusting.

That didn’t mean, however, that he had to like the idea of Gai leaving him.

“I would never do such a thing, rival” his boyfriend said in an unusual low and soft voice. “I like you, and I want to be with you. This just proved me that you have a bigger heart that I knew, because you’re willing to sacrifice such an important part of yourself for others that cannot protect themselves.”

The Hatake’s face suddenly grew incredibly hot. How could Gai turn the situation into one in which he was some short of hero? The fact that the other boy was still capable of making him feel like some kind of deadly butterflies were flying around in his belly, was equally annoying and amazing.

“However” Gai continued in a serious tone, “I understand that these… experiences were not pleasant for you and therefore you may not want to repeat them. If that’s the case, then I vow to…”

Oh, Kami-sama.

Kakashi grabbed him by the jumpsuit and pushed Gai on top of his body one more time, lips clashing. He made the kiss last, both to shut up the other teen and to bring his heart down to a normal rhythm again. If his boyfriend continued saying things like that, it would stop beating for real at some point.

“I do” he babbled when their mouths came slightly apart. “I definitely want to repeat those experiences if it’s with you.”

“Oh… OH!” the fact that Gai became equally flustered brought him some relief. “I, uh, that’s… Great! Yes! Just, uh…”

“We don’t have to do it now” the Hatake laughed.

“It’s not that! I would pretty much, uh, love to do it now” Gai looked like he wanted to hide under a blanket and rip off his clothes at the same time. It was kind of cute. “Just… Well, as I told you I don’t have, uh… Any experience with other people. And even with myself I haven’t been very forwards, so, I… Um… What if I do it wrong?”

Kakashi brought him down for another kiss.

“Then we’ll do it wrong together” he assured. “You cannot be worse than the others, Gai, if only because I want to do it with you.”

Whenever he had to do a honey-pot mission, the Hatake had needed to mentally prepare himself for it. Not only the first time —even if it was among the worst memories of his life—, but also the others. Those men and women hadn’t cared about how he was feeling, even if they faked it. They would never stop or mind if he was hurting.

He knew Gai would be different. With him he didn’t need to prepare or be scared.

“A-Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you, or, well, be hurt.”

“It’s not supposed to hurt if done correctly” he said, smiling. “That’s what I got out from the theory I received, anyways.”

“Ok, rival, I trust you.”

“We can also stop whenever we don’t feel safe or ready” Kakashi indicated, wanting to go over everything he had learnt and would love to have experienced himself. “This is also a first time for me, I guess, so I may not be up to your expectations.”

That seemed to calm Gai a bit, a soft smile reaching his lips as well. This time, it was him who leaned down for another kiss. It quickly migrated, though, reaching again for the visible skin on Kakashi’s neck. A chill ran through his body as the teen’s teeth bit softly there.

“Is this ok?” Gai mussitated against his neck.

“Y-Yeah” he whined. “Just… Let’s go with what comes natural to us.”

As Kakashi talked, his hands moved up, one to tangle in dark, black locks and the other to tug at the neck of Gai’s jumpsuit. He was enjoying quite a lot the feeling of his boyfriend’s tongue over his skin, and he would like to reciprocate. But the damn jumpsuit would not budge.

“How do you remove this thing?”

“By pulling it down, rival” the other teen chuckled, giving him goosebumps.

“Well, it’s not working” he complained, frustration slipping out. “Can’t I just rip it off?”

At that, Gai finally separated a bit, eyes meeting again.

“And how do you expect I go back to my house? Naked?”

“I could lend you some clothes” the Hatake huffed, blushing a bit before adding: “Or you could just… You know, stay here after.”

“Oh” the other boy mumbled. “Is that… Really?”

“Sure.”

“Ok. Yes.”

“Can I tear it, then?”

Gai shily nodded and that was everything he needed to pull him down on a kiss as he used all the strength in his hands to break the dam jumpsuit. In his defense, Kakashi didn’t rip it a lot, just enough to bring it down Gai’s broad shoulders and finally exposing his chest.

Just as he had imagined —because regardless of his position, he was still a teenager with a boyfriend and got horny from time to time—, Gai’s skin was marked here and there by several scars, some larger than others. While the other boy went back to bite his neck, the Hatake let his own hands travel up and down his naked spine. Only when he got confident enough did he bring his fingers to the front part of Gai’s body, brushing over the hard belly before reaching for the pectorals and circling his nipples.

“Ah!” his boyfriend whined.

“S-Sorry” he muttered, removing his hands.

“No! Do it again!”

“Oh. Ok.”

For the next couples of minutes, he heard and felt Gai whining against his neck as he softly played with his nipples. He didn’t realize the sensitivity there was so high until that moment. Determined to make his boyfriend feel better, he pushed him up until they were both sitting, Gai spread over his legs and therefore a little bit higher than him. The position was perfect for him to lick his pectorals.

“Rival!”

“Good?” he asked, teeth brushing over the right nipple.

“Y-Yes” Gai nodded, attempting to remove the Hatake’s shirt as well. “Can I…?”

To make it easier, Kakashi separated for a second as the other boy pushed the garment up and off, leaving the both of them naked from the waist up. His breath caught. He had been in that same position before, but nothing of what he had experienced compared to that moment. He was not scared or disgusted, but rather excited and… Well, horny.

“You’re beautiful, rival.”

“I could say the same, rival.”

It was not the first time he used the nickname on Gai, but the way he intoned the word made the other boy go red and hide his face in Kakashi’s neck. Which, by the way, was rather wet due to all the attention his boyfriend had been paying to it, and for sure would show a few hickeys the next day. Lucky for them, the Hatake’s shirt and Gai’s jumpsuit would cover all marks.

“Can I… touch you now?”

The other boy’s words were shy, but not because he was trying to treat Kakashi as if he was crystal due to his record. He knew better than that. He was just nervous, as he guessed anybody would be in that situation. Just as he was.

“Please” he answered.

The feeling of Gai’s hands over his naked waist was strange, but not uncomfortable. And when the touch migrated higher until they reached his nipples, the goosebumps came back. He let himself being pushed back down over the mattress, his boyfriend’s figure covering him. Gai’s actions started being similar to his, but soon began to add his own ideas as Kakashi reacted to different things.

Kami, had he ever whined and moaned like that? He doubted it. Probably he had never even been that aroused before.

As Gai’s tongue and teeth played with his chest, the Hatake grabbed at black hair, pulling just slightly as he tried to regain some kind of brain function. It felt kind of unfair, in that moment, to be learning how much he had been missing out. To realize that was how being close was supposed to feel. Messy, and chaotic to a point, but still comfortable and just right.

It took him a while to come back to the present, but Kakashi eventually was able to go into action, hands grabbing Gai’s face to bring him up for another kiss. One palm remained on the other boy’s cheek as they made out, the other travelling south in between their bodies until it stopped over the hitai-ate hanging from his waist.

“Do you still want to continue?”

“Please don’t stop now, rival” his boyfriend pleaded.

Who was he to deny him?

Kakashi skillfully undid the knot of the bandana with one hand as he went back to kissing Gai. Then, his hand followed the touch of curly hair from the lower part of his belly and down to the crotch area. The other boy’s breath caught as his hand brushed against his member. The Hatake’s first thought was: ‘this doesn’t feel like an acorn’, and then…

“You wear a thong under the jumpsuit?” he chuckled.

“Don’t laugh, rival!” his boyfriend pouted. “Any other underwear messes with the lines of my clothing!”

“Oh, I am not complaining” Kakashi commented. “Not at all.”

That was just adding another mental image for his own entertainment when he found himself bored.

For the next part, the Hatake was skilled. Or that had he been told. Gai had already released a good amount of precum, so he used that as lubricant to slide his own hand up and down a couple of times. That simple movement made the other boy whine, which developed into a full moan when Kakashi used his thumb to play with the head of his erection.

“R-Rival” he panted, face hiding on his neck one more time.

“Is this good? Or do you need more lube?”

He had some in his bedside table. There was this stupid rule in ANBU that allowed you to get the basic things for sex —lube, condoms, even pocket enemas— for free. They were supposed to be for missions, but the truth was that those rarely got used with a target. So, people just help themselves for their own needs. And Kakashi was a teenager, so he still jerked-off and preferred to do so with lubricant.

“It’s good” Gai quickly babbled out. “Very good, rival.”

He seemed to be going through the same problem to form a coherent thought as the Hatake had just a few minutes ago. A certain amount of pride filled his chest.

Letting his boyfriend enjoy the treatment, Kakashi made sure Gai’s head was safely secured against his neck before diving down to lick and bite the skin around the other boy’s shoulder. The act lead to another loud moan, satisfaction running through the Hatake’s veins. He continued with the handjob at the same time as his other hand pulled the jumpsuit down together with the thong. Soon after, both pieces of clothes where tangled around Gai’s knees.

The better access to his member allowed Kakashi to improve his movements, his free palm pressing against the other boy’s testicles to play with them. The gesture was clearly appreciated, as his boyfriend thrusted against his hand energetically.

“Ka… Kakashi!” Gai groaned, finally bringing his face up.

By then, he knew lust quite well. He was used to seeing it on the face of men and women that covered his body with theirs. This was not the same. There was something else accompanying the lust in Gai’s eyes. Something that scared the shit out of Kakashi but at the same time made him feel warm inside. Love.

“I-I want to touch you as well, rival” he said, hips still buckling slightly forwards. “Is that alright?”

“Yeah.”

His boyfriend’s movements slowed down as shaking hands started to pull down at the Hatake’s pants. To alleviate the pressure and speed of the moment, he changed the rhythm of his own hand around Gai’s member.

He had to push his hips slightly up in order to allow the pants and underwear to be rolled down, and when the warm air of the room hit his crotch, Kakashi gasped. The other boy looked down for a moment, eyes fixed on the space between their tangled legs, members almost brushing due to how hard they were. The position also allowed for a perfect comparison.

“I win this time!” Gai chuckled.

“You cannot seriously be comparing us in this moment” he groaned.

“It’s payback for when you criticized my acorn all those years ago, rival!”

If there was a God out there, Kakashi needed him to explain how it was possible for him to remain hard even with that conversation taking place. He was almost ashamed of feeling himself growing more excited even.

“Well, if you want your not-so-little-acorn to continue being played with, I recommend you shut your mouth.”

“You’re just frustrated because I’m bigger now!”

Well, that was bound to happen. Gai was also taller and broader. If the rest of his constitution had almost duplicated Kakashi’s during those years, why wouldn’t his penis do the same?

“I assure you that it’s not the reason of my frustration.”

It took the other boy a moment and a tug at his hard member to realize what he was talking about.

“Oh!” he said, completely flushed. “Y-Yeah, of course! I’ll just… Here.”

The touch of Gai’s hand on his shaft sent a current of electricity through the Hatake’s body, a moan immediately leaving his mouth. Kami, it couldn’t even compare with touching oneself. For this, his boyfriend didn’t seem to need any guidance, probably going with what he knew. Which was good. Really good.

After a few seconds of brain-melting at the glorious sensation, Kakashi went back to move his own hands. It turned out to be difficult, to concentrate on pleasing another person when you yourself were in cloud nine.

“K-Kakashi…!”

“Fuck, Gai!” he moaned, thrusting into the other boy’s hand.

A part of him expected the disgust to hit his body at some point. They were sticky and wet due to the sweat and precum. The kind of mess they were making was what Kakashi hated most of having sex with other people.

Or so he thought.

In that moment, his brain was too focused on chasing his own pleasure and pleasuring Gai at the same time. There was no space for more. Except maybe to realize he wanted to kiss his boyfriend again, hand leaving his testicles to pull him down by the neck instead.

As their mouths clashed chaotically and perfectly, the kiss desperate, he felt his limit approaching. He almost bit Gai’s tongue because of it.

“I-I’m close” he managed in between kisses.

“Me too, rival” the other boy panted, kissing him again.

They didn’t need more, really. While their lips brushed against each other, this time softer, their hips continued bucking and their hands moving. He felt Gai’s cum fall onto his belly just a few seconds before he achieved his own orgasm, moans filling the room.

Ten seconds were the exact amount of time they managed to look into each other eyes, smiling, before their bodies gave up. At least his boyfriend was kind enough to fall just half over him.

“T-That was… amazing” Gai breathed after a bit.

“Yeah.”

Kakashi’s eyes stayed fixed on the dark ceiling for a moment. His brain seemed to need a bit to recover from what had just happened. In the meantime, the other boy shifted slightly until he was lying on his side next to him. Bright teeth were visible for the Hatake even in that position. Smiling as well, he turned to look at Gai.

“So, you enjoyed it?”

“Very much, rival!”

“Good to know” he chuckled. “And we didn’t even go all the way.”

“But it was perfect either yet, Kakashi! And as I said before, I would be just fine with this if…”

“We’ll see, ok?” he huffed. “For sure we are not going to do it now. I don’ think we have everything we need and I’m too tired to go to the quarters to take it.”

Gai made a weird face, as if he was not sure of what he was referring to. Which made sense, since at the Academy they only taught them about sex between men and women, but he was not about to instruct him in that moment. Instead, they remained in silence for a few more minutes, until Kakashi felt some energy coming back to him.

“We should take a shower” he said, hand brushing over Gai’s sticky chest and belly. “And probably change the sheets, as well.”

“I will assist you, rival!” his boyfriend assured in a tone that almost made it sound as if he was ready for round 2. “It’s still… ok if I stay the night?”

The Hatake softly smiled.

“Sure, I’ll lend you some clothes.”

It took them one more minute, but they finally got out of bed.

“I’ll take out the new sheets while you remove these?”

“Sure, rival!”

Clearly wanting to make a competition out of it, Gai rushed to start removing the bedding as he just dragged his feet to the nearest closet. They worked well together, so the bed was newly done in no time, way more clean than them.

“Come on, let’s take a shower.”

The Hatake brushed his boyfriend’s arm as he passed him to get into the bathroom. The apartment was rather small, just a tiny entrance, a kitchen/living room and a bedroom with the bathroom attached. Not that he needed more. If being honest, he had just rented that place for the sake of their relationship. He could not bring Gai into the ANBU quarters, and the other teen’s house was far from the village center and barely stood together anymore. Kakashi had offered him to stay in that apartment —not as in, sharing it, because he was only in it to spend time with Gai—, but he refused. The other boy was adamant on finding and renting his own place, assuring him that he had almost enough money saved for it.

Turning on the light of the bathroom, his breath caught. He felt suddenly exposed and dirty, just as it happened to him after a honey-pot mission. With one small difference: he could sense the eyes of the other person still behind him.

“Rival?”

It was different in that room. They had kept the lights of the bedroom off, their eyes used to the soft light coming from the streets and the moon. Now, the white glow of the bulbs let him see all the marks and fluids over his own body.

“Kakashi?”

“I’m ok” he mumbled, finally moving forwards so Gai could enter the bathroom. “I just zoned out for a moment.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, I… I want to get clean, that’s all.”

One of his boyfriend’s hands found its place on the Hatake’s waist, the rest of their bodies almost brushing as Gai bent down to kiss his neck softly.

“Ok?”

And just like that, his anxiety became so small that Kakashi could ignore it.

“Yeah, come on.”

Grabbing the hand on his waist, he pulled the other teen into the shower with him. When Kakashi turned to look at Gai, he directed his eyes straight to his boyfriend’s chest, sweaty and dirty with cum, just as his belly. Further down, his member stayed flaccid and half hidden in between curly black hair. As the Hatake’s eyes travelled up to meet the other boy’s face, he realized there was no lust left on Gai’s expression. Or at least it was kept to a minimum. There was concern, instead, mixed with tiredness and what he called adoration —love would be too risky word to use.

“Is it ok if I help cleaning you up, rival?” the teen asked. “You don’t have to do the same for me if you don’t want, of course!”

Yeah, he definitely didn’t feel anything closer to what he experienced after a honey-pot mission.

“Don’t be stupid, I’m not going to let you have all the fun.”

Kakashi brought a hand up, as if looking for Gai’s face, and then passed it over to turn on the water. The splash and following scream that came out from his boyfriend’s lips for sure awoke a couple of people in the building.

“KAKASHI!”

“Ssh, Gai, I have neighbors, you know?” the Hatake mocked as he played with the heat control to make it warmer.

“You’re evil, rival.”

“And still, you keep me around” he continued poking. “Doesn’t that make you a masochist?”

Not giving the other boy the opportunity to answer, he pushed him back under the water to get him completely soaked. He saw Gai rolling his eyes, but he didn’t say anything else as they showered together. Their touches lacked of real intention, but the Hatake would be lying if he said the sexual desire was out of the picture. Still, they kept it down, not looking for having a second round so soon.

The water kept falling down at a nice temperature as he kissed Gai under the shower head, drops slipping in between their lips whenever they separated to breathe. By the time they got out, they were more than clean and relaxed enough to fall in bed without a word.

As promised, Kakashi lend his boyfriend a change of clothes, just some comfy grey pants and a big sweater he kept in there for emergencies.

“Rival, isn’t this mine?” Gai asked as he dressed.

“Obviously not, since I have it” he answered, shrugging. “And if you take it, I’ll steal it again.”

The other teen huffed while pulling him down to the bed. The Hatake would never admit the reason he had borrowed that sweater from Gai was because it smelled like him. He would not say out loud that, when his boyfriend left for a long mission and he had nothing to do, he would sometimes put it on while reading to not feel alone.

They laid facing each other on the mattress, hands slightly brushing. At the end, Gai was the first to fall asleep, his soft snoring quickly filling the room. Kakashi stayed awake a little more time, just observing him. It was the first time he slept with someone in the same bed. Whenever he was in a mission, he just waited until the target was out to kill them, or steal from them or just tie them up for interrogation. With Gai, there was no agenda of any kind.

Timidly, he moved closer to the other teen and the reaction was almost instantaneous, one arm and leg coming over his body to bring him against Gai’s chest. He knew his boyfriend normally slept hugging a pillow —or a bag, if he was in a mission—, so the act itself was not that strange. What was not normal, though, was the way his body fully relaxed then. The few times he had had to let another person grab him like that after sex, he had been hyper-alert, body almost trembling. At some point, he had started to fear he would not be able to be held like that by someone he cared about.

As he waited for sleep to catch him, Kakashi drew a few conclusions out of the last hours activities. Sex was not bad. He could enjoy it —even crave it— with Gai. Communication and consent were weird considering his background, but he didn’t feel as ashamed as he had initially thought would happen. The fact that Gai was sometimes shy helped with that. Of course, they had not put anything in any holes yet, but he still considered it sex. It was a win knowing the experience could be satisfying even for him.

Breathing against Gai’s pectorals, he moved his hands up to hug him as well and closed his eyes.

Well, now that I'm fucking finally done with all the hand made presents I've been doing for two months...

Remember how I started 2024? It was publishing the first chapter of I won't give up (on us)!

I would love to say that I'm ready to start publishing the sequel, but it's still a work in progress 🥲

However... That doesn't mean that 2025 is not going to start without a small addition to the KakaGai fandom from my part 😉😊
