Today was the only free day you got this week, you were always on some mission or filling out paper work, so this week, Tenten managed to persuade to attend Naruto’s party.  

Everyone was invited, being 19 you were glad you weren’t the oldest person there. Temari was the same age as you, just a few months older, and team captains were there, definitely ruling you out as the oldest.  

“______, glad you could make it. We hardly see much of you around here.” Naruto beamed at you as you chose a card from the hat.   

“Yeah, I know. I’m always so busy.” You answered shyly. You held up the grey card with red line going down it so Naruto could see it and then slowly led yourself in to the closet.  

You hurried to the back and sat down on a wooden box and contemplated who you hoped you had been paired up with. You just hoped it was no one younger than you, but how could you be definite when over half of the people at the party were younger than you.  

You were sat on the box for almost ten minutes, you were on the verge of leaving before the door swung open and then slammed shut. Your head snapped up to see who entered. 

  The light flicked on and there stood Kakashi Hatake.  He smiled and itched his head, “Sorry I took so long, I-”  

You smirked to yourself, he always had some awful excuse as to why he was late. “Save your excuses, Kakashi.”  

“Eh? Alright.” He chuckled, “So we kiss?”

  “I think, but how’s that going to work? You have that mask on.”  

“I guess we could turn the lights off, so you wouldn’t see anything.” He replied while shrugging.   You could see Kakashi's mouth curve in to a smirk as you blushed.

“Y-yeah, I guess.”  

Kakashi snapped his fingers and the light went off. You heard him lower his mask and then suddenly felt his presence in front of you.

    A lump formed in your throat. Were you actually going to kiss Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Cat Ninja? Sure, you thought he was both extremely talented and good looking but you couldn’t believe your luck!  

 “Hm? are you ok, _____? You stopped breathing for a moment there.”  

You snapped out of your thoughts when you remember Kakashi was knelt directly in front you. “I-I’m fine.”

 “Good. Now, I need to ask you something. Would you find it a bit creepy if I said I thought you were beautiful?”

 Your eyes widened in the darkness. Did he really just ask that? “No!” You answered a little too quickly.  

“Good. Let us begin.”  

You felt Kakashi’s lips on yours and a tingling sensation shot through your whole body.  To you, age difference didn't matter at all, and it especially didn't matter between you and Kakashi, although he was ten years older than you were.  

After the kiss you felt the room lighten up and there stood Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke watching eagerly to see Kakashi’s whole face. By then he had already pulled his mask back up, he held out his hand for you to take, which you did gladly because your legs were so weak.  

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura’s faces all fell when they realized they were all too late.  

“So, ______, how would you feel about being my girlfriend?”  

“I’d feel great about it!”  

“Perfect.”
