"Interesting to see you here professor." Neji says emotionlessly as his eyes study the grey haired man standing in front of him. Neji couldn't help but eye the daisies and dandelions bouquet in Kakashi's hand, wondering why he would bring such a thing. It obviously gives the supposedly wrong idea.

"Well I'm just here to support my dearest student. I thought she would need some inspiration, so I brought her favorite flowers." Kakashi says with a simple smile on his face. Your jaw tightens though once you realize the hostility behind it.

     Neji nods at the english teacher's explanation though, and turns towards you, giving you an unreadable expression on his face. His eyes were smiling as the corner of his lip twirled upwards. "Would you like me to give way, (Y/N)?" He asks before you give a nervous nod to him. He instantly obliges and Kakashi sweeps into the apartment.

     You were beginning to think that Kakashi could be an actor from broadway. You couldn't believe how he could act as if the apartment was a stranger's home, when clearly it was not. But his acting didn't feel nearly sufficient for your nerves to calm down. Neji could obviously see that something was weird.

     Kakashi brings the flowers near you so you could grab them. "Thank you professor. They're... they're very nice." You say as you gaze down onto the flowers, touching each of them lightly. Causing the heaviness on your chest to lighten a bit.

     "They are. How did you know that they're her favorites, if I may ask?" And now it's back to the way it was. Neji's suspicion is simply too alarming for you, even though Kakashi certainly knows how to handle the situation.

     Your teacher turns away from you, facing Neji, and a smile was evident on his face. "Oh why it was discussed during one of our classes. (Y/N) is fairly a talker in the class so she usually answers any questions made. She also made a poem that I corrected of dandelions and daisies. Great poem. You should read it sometime."

     "I might." Neji says before sitting down on the chair in front of the marble white counter. He was using a kind stare that was digging deep into Kakashi eyes, which was terrifying you even more.

     You clear your throat awkwardly and decide that it's time you get on to the point. "Well professor, let me show you my idea for the short story. I just finished developing it as soon as you arrived. I really think I'm onto something good! I'll be right back." You say before you run off to your room and search for your notes. You wanted to return back to the kitchen as soon as you can to not leave the two men alone. It could be disastrous for Kakashi to answer some question Neji has made that you don't know the answer to. Like for example: How do you know where (Y/N) lives anyway?

      You could only think the worse outcome if Neji asks you and you say the wrong thing. So, as soon as you had the notes in your hands, you rush back to the men. "Back."

     Neji turns his head towards you and smiles sweetly at the sight. As if Kakashi wasn't even present. "Welcome back," he says, causing you to smile back.

     You sit down in between them both and hand Kakashi the written paper. And being the needy man Kakashi is, once Neji turns around to clean some dishes, Kakashi lands his hand on yours and squeezes lightly. Showing you the small affection he's been wanting to give you. You give him a small smile and pull back your hand, arching your eyebrow as if he's being a "bad boy".

     "Alright let's see what's here." Kakashi says before his eyes scan across the paper, taking in each an every note written. And you couldn't help but compliment any small movement he made. The way he straightened his back professionally to read, the movement his eyes made side to side, the way he tightened his jaw whenever he felt intrigued. And last but not least, the smile he uses to express the pride he feels once he finishes the notes only ten seconds later. "This is rather interesting (Y/N). You can have so many elements in this story that can prove your creativeness to the judges. And let me guess, "The M" isn't particularly standing for the monster's name, now is it?" He asks as he hands the paper back to you.

     You sigh as you shake your head at your lover. "Nothing can ever escape you. You know me too well." You say with a laugh before you remember Neji's presence. And once you do, he turns towards you both and clears his throat.

     "Ah, he does? That's particularly rare, since he gives class to so many students." Neji says. You keep your smile on your face, not wanting to reveal absolutely anything to him. Knowing that it would become even more suspicious if you show your nervousness.

     "Well, he should know my writing by now since I took so many tutoring sessions with him. I wrote countless things for Professor Kakashi as exercises. I would worry if I was a stranger to him by now." You try your best to not stutter and sound completely confident. And thanks to your success, Neji's face changes. From a questioning investigator, he became kind and understanding. You were obviously a weakness for him.

     "Yes he would probably need to check that out with a doctor. Wouldn't want that now huh, Professor?"

     "No. Of course not. My memory is solid. That's how I remember your study dates with Tenten in my classroom." Kakashi says. Grabbing your attention instantly. He obviously sounded sarcastic when he mentioned the word study. Which means they were doing anything but.

     A smirk is evident on your face as you glance at Neji. He surprisingly reddened at Kakashi's words, which made a small chuckle sound from your throat. "Study dates huh? That sounds...convincing."

     "I admit, I did things with Tenten. But those days are over," Neji says before looking over at you. "Which is why I pushed her away at the halloween party." Neji softly grabs your hand, which completely alarms you and makes your breath hitch, but you don't move at all. Trying your best to gulp down the panic in your throat.

     The last thing you want to do is tell Neji about your situation. Explain why you can't touch any man except your own teacher. It's been almost three weeks now since the incident. And you know you can't stay scared forever.

Kakashi stares at your touching hands for half a second before speaking up to put you back into your comfort zone. "(Y/N), can you bring me a glass of water? I feel my throat a bit dry."

"Of course." You whisper quickly and gratefully before pulling your hand away and serving what Kakashi asked for. Neji didn't seem to notice the tension in the air thankfully.

And once you give Kakashi a glass of cold water, you see Neji grab the bags on the table. He looks at you and smiles. "I should get going. I have something to sort out with my university. I hope you'll excuse me, professor. I'll talk to you later (Y/N)." He bows lightly before he walks towards the door. You say your goodbyes to him before he leaves rather instantly.

Once you shut the door, you lean on it and close your eyes. Sighing loudly as if you're completely exhausted. "I told you to not come you loaf!" You shout before you open your eyes and glare at Kakashi.

He only smiles before he takes off his mask and walks towards you. "I know you didn't mean it." He says as he puts his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to his chest.

Not being able to keep your frown around Kakashi, a small giggle escapes your throat. "This feels quite nice." You say as his oak and pumpkin scent fills your nose. You grip onto his white shirt tightly, happy that you're alone with him. You land your lips onto his chest and give it a small kiss. "This Neji thing is getting harder with each day passing."

There's a pause between you both for a brief moment. Not holding awkward silence, but just simple silence. "Have you kissed him?" Kakashi asks, making your eyes widen. You separate away from him and stare into his eyes as surprise fills you.

"Of...of course not!" You stutter before you pull away from Kakashi. Your cross your arms before you walk towards your parents' alter. "There's no need for that..."

"But there is, (Y/N). And you know it."

"I don't want to."

"Neither do I. But we need to stop the rumors." Kakashi says before he lands his hand on your shoulder and kisses the top part of your head. "And you have to do it publicly." Tears fill your eyes as you turn towards Kakashi and your heart races anxiously. You glare at his lifeless eyes looking down on you.

     "I can't touch him normally...imagine kissing him! I feel guilty when I'm around him, yes, but also good because he doesn't push me for affection or anything. He touched my hand today but that's all! And if I kiss him once, he'll expect more. I'm not ready for it, I'm sorry." You say, holding a small pause between you both. Your tears fall onto your cheeks before you look down onto the floor. Gulping loudly. "I'd rather stop our relationship before even getting near another man for a kiss and it hurts that you don't understand that." You whimper before shoving Kakashi away and stomping towards your room. Feeling simply hurt.
