[ adrian continues to invite himself in without so much as a warning. not only because he tends to come either late at night or early in the morning but because it's the best way to make an entrance, after all. at this point in their relationship though, he imagines the sudden appearances are welcomed now more than ever. so today the front door is ignored like any other day.

the sun is already peeking through the curtains of the bedroom when he steps inside, making his way over to the lump beneath the sheets. he has a feeling said lump is already very aware of his presence even before he's crawling his way onto bed, straddling what he makes out to be the other's waist in a familiar greeting. the mattress bounces slightly with adrian's restlessness. it's been almost a week since they last saw each other and he's eager as ever to be back. absence makes the heart grow fonder and such.

leaning forward, plush lips ghost across the shell of the other's ear before he smiles, offers his sweetest most gentle voice with a hint of playful affection. ] Good morning, sleepyhead.~

[ He's sleeping pretty soundly lately, and whether it could have something to do with so often falling asleep with company or knowing he'll wake up to it is something Kakashi has considered often... It's nice, he thinks, to be so comfortable with the idea of it as well as to simply be able to sleep like a normal person for the first time in a long time. Now, when he's late in the morning it's because he's enjoying soft blankets and soft skin and even softer thoughts.. which is much better than moping over a gravestone.

When Adrian enters, Kakashi stirs with a soft huff of noise and a small shift under the covers. Just like he said he wanted to he's got used to recognising Adrian's energy, and it's worth waking up for.

A hand comes out to lay on Adrian's knee, roughened fingertips sliding toward his hip and finally his wild hair and sleepy expression emerges properly from the covers, followed by the corner of a gentle but pleased smile. ]

Morning. [ He grumbles, putting a hand to his mouth as he shifts up just a little bit, out of habit more than anything. ] You're a very pretty alarm clock.

[ the combination of messy hair, a still very groggy expression, and mumbled greetings is too adorable for words and adrian can't help but chuckle, entirely amused and delighted. not to mention entirely flattered by the compliment. he's a glutton for those.

as always, adrian makes it a point to remove the other's hand from his mouth whenever that habit of his rears its ugly head. and in its place soon after are adrian's lips, pressing kiss after kiss against kakashi's own. he's waited so long to be able to do this again. ]

Mmm, I missed you. And this face. [ both hands move to cradle the other's cheeks, thumbs feeling tentatively across newly grown facial hair. ] ...Which is a lot scruffier than I remember. [ he looks curious at first, then thoughtful. ] Now that I think about it, I didn't even know you could grow a beard.

[ The kisses sweep over him like waves and Kakashi willfully gives in and lets himself be swept away by the easy rhyhtm of them. That is, of course, until Adrian pulls back to speak and suddenly Kakashi feels entirely embarrassed for not putting a little more effort into his appearance to greet Adrian. He's missed him like a wound while they've been apart, the least he could do was clean up his face.... ]

Of course I can, I'm a grown man. [ He says, flushing like an embarrassed child. ] Sorry, though, I meant to get around to it. Is it scratching your face?

Hey, not all men are capable. And I'm partially offended by that. [ partially because he didn't exactly fit into the category of 'man' and offended in a way that wasn't really offended at all. at least, he's still smiling. probably amused by the cute way kakashi's face changed color and so quickly. his hands move, fingertips caressing the stubble once more as he takes a moment to simply observe the other. ]

A little... but I like it. [ he moves in for yet another kiss, partly to test the feel of facial hair against his skin for affirmation. a little prickly but equally ticklish. all in all, an interesting change. ] Give it a few more days and you'll start looking like a dad. [ which is starting to sound rather appealing the more he thinks about it to be honest..... ]

[ Kakashi hadn't meant to cause offence because really he finds it impossible place himself and Adrian in even a similar category - Kakashi considers Adrian leagues above him in... well, everything - but the smile and gentle touch convinces him not to worry about it. His hands slide up to hold the back of Adrian's neck close as he steals another kiss through his words, then another... and another.. but he can't quite bring himself to brush over the last part-- ]

A dad? [ He lets out a helpless exhaled laugh. ] I don't think having a beard is a necessary criteria for being a father. Mine didn't have one.

[ Sakumo just had a very long ponytail he probably should have reconsidered. Hatake hair isn't exactly the most easily managed.. and knowing Kakashi's luck, if he did keep facial hair for longer than a few days it would probably grow to be just as unruly as the hair on his head. ]

Besides, I don't think it would look right under my mask. I have to shave pretty regularly. [ He shrugs one shoulder, his one open lazily-lidded eye regarding Adrian with an affectionate gaze. ] In that sense I suppose you're lucky. It's a chore.

[ he's almost entirely caught offguard by the kisses that come, but quickly collects himself to return each and every one. it seems adrian's gradually rubbing off on him and he can only be proud. it wasn't long ago, after all, that kakashi couldn't initiate contact without hesitating, overthinking it. but now adrian savors every little touch he can get, and every little laugh he can get out of him. ]

I would imagine so. [ the stuff grew so quickly, it would be a wonder how this is the first time adrian's seen it... if kakashi's face hadn't been covered majority of the time. his palm continues to rub at the prickle of hairs because the sensation is a little addicting. ] Even if you did let it grow, I'd miss that cute little beauty mark too much.

[ so he's kind of conflicted there. but he moves to sit up, reaching for the other's hand to tug. ] Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.

[ Kakashi can't help but flush at the compliment. He might be getting better at starting kisses and soft words and touches, but he's still not entirely used to accepting them. Adrian always announces them so freely and unabashedly that really it's no surprise Kakashi can't build up a decent defence in the face of them. Though he wouldn't want to if he could, honestly. He likes the feeling Adrian's sweet words give him even if they do make his ears feel hot.

He lets himself be pulled up, thanking the stars that he didn't go to bed naked as he's tugged out of bed. ]

Cleaned up?

[ He repeats, curious. Did Adrian want to hang around while he shaved or something? Surely that would be boring for him.... ]

[ adrian, on the other hand, had been hoping he went to bed very naked last night. but he's only a little disappointed to see that wasn't the case. it's satisfying enough just to be together again, to be able to intertwine their fingers as he leads them out the bedroom, clothes or no clothes. though to be fair it was only a matter of time before they were both undressed anyway. ]

I suppose it's... strange of me to offer? [ if the confusion on kakashi's face or in his voice was any indication. ] But this will be an interesting learning experience for someone as hairless as I am. [ his free hand reaches to rub against the stubble hairs because it's actually kind of fun now. he might even be starting to miss it already... ]

[ Kakashi's roughened fingertips find the slope of Adrian's knuckles and caress them as he's grown accustomed to doing whenever they've linked hands previously. It will never not be strange that he's actually comfortable enough around another person to develop contact habits, and besides the sex which is.. a great addition to his existence, this particular instance of contact is one of his favourites. ]

Oh! No-- no of course not.

[ They're together, in whatever strange fashion they've found themselves in and Kakashi supposes that it makes sense for two people who regularly see one another undressed and who are by all definitions close to do domestic things like that.. so he has no issue with it. He's also incredibly lazy, and Adrian doing it for him would be an excuse for Kakashi to look at his face without being too embarrassed. So win-win. ]

Ah. I use kunai, though. Be careful not to cut my face off.

[ the mention of kunai makes him a lot more nervous than he was moments ago, probably because a blade typically used for combat would be incredibly sharp for a beginner like himself. though it did explain how kakashi managed to get such a smooth and clean shave every time. was it wrong to be a little turned on by the fact he was skilled enough with a weapon to be able to use it as a razor?

...to be fair, practically anything could turn him on after a week without sex. ]

Hmmm, maybe you should go first. [ he laughs a little but cutting off kakashi's face is a very real (though very farfetched) possibility. once they step inside the bathroom, adrian moves over to the sink to seat himself like the good attentive student he is. ] So. How do we start?

Maybe I should.

[ Kakashi covers his mouth and the soft chuckle that escapes it as he follows Adrian into the bathroom, then after reluctantly letting their hands separate he retrieves a small bottle of oil from under the sink and a kunai from behind it. He's a ninja, okay, and training has taught him to be prepared for anything. Hence, weapons in the bathroom.

He spins the loop at the end of the weapon on his finger and catches the handle - both because it's the easiest way for him to handle it and because he's a show off - and sets it on the side before uncorking the little bottle and letting a few drops run onto his palm. ]

I guess we start here. The blade is sharp and the shave is close, so this makes sure I don't get any burn. [ He's got his teacher voice on and he only feels a little awkward talking through something he kind of had to learn by himself; younger Kakashi was a mess of trial and error. He rubs the oil onto his cheeks and along his jaw where pale bristle is starting to show, and his dark eye flickers to Adrian. ] With me so far?

[ adrian recognizes that tone all too well, even though it's been ages since his own instructor days, and he makes a note to see him in action again someday soon. it was fascinating to watch how he interacted with the kids but he's still never actually seen kakashi's combat talents in person. that would be pretty fascinating too, seeing as he's easily impressed by the way he handles the blade in an ordinary situation.

his undivided attention returns to the task at hand when kakashi speaks again and he nods. ] Yes, sir.

[ it's tempting as ever to rub his palms against those little hairs smooth and shiny with oil now, but he somehow refrains. still, it doesn't stop adrian from leaning in close with very round and very observant eyes. the shaving part had to be next, right? ] You... probably cut yourself a lot in the beginning, huh? [ which convinces him with every passing second that maybe kakashi should just handle this one. ]

[ Kakashi could probably get used to being called sir. He's used to being called sensei, but sir... It has a nice ring to it, or maybe it's just Adrian's voice doing that to him. He can't deny a little chuckle at the adorable performace Adrian is giving him; those round eyes, rapt expression... It's honestly the most endearing thing he's ever seen and he has to take a moment before responding. ]

Not really. I knew how to use a kunai a long time before I needed to shave.. [ Like, a good many years. He's been training since he could walk and talk, pretty much. ] I ran into a few problems with technique, though, and I didn't realise oil could help till I went on a mission where farmers told me they used oil when taking wool from sheep.

[ He didn't have a father figure around who could help, after all, so most of the mistakes he'd made were learning curves till he finally found something that worked. There were probably even easier methods than using a kunai, but by now it's what he's used to.

He slides the flat of the blade against his jaw, presses the sharp edge against his skin and pushes with even pressure against the hairs there, cleanly shaving them off in an easy swipe. As the blade leaves his skin it makes a satisfying but very dangerous sounding shnk of metal in motion, but entirely unphased by it Kakashi turns to Adrian and gives him a small smile. ]

Like that. Not so hard, hm?

[ he does the math in his head and supposes he shouldn't be surprised at all that kakashi was skilled with kunai at such a young age. still, it's a bothersome thought. where adrian comes from, children are allowed to be children first and soldiers later on... but he's getting distracted again and quickly focuses, watching as the blade slides easily and cuts just as swiftly.

the hair is gone in the blink of an eye and it's safe to say adrian is fascinated. also torn between wanting to give it a try but not wanting to hurt kakashi in the process. ]

I guess not... for someone with years of experience under their belt. [ adrian rarely ever uses a handheld blade to begin with. he considers trying (if only for a split second) because of his healing abilities. a small wound could be healed within seconds but he'd rather not use someone he loves as a guinea pig. ] I'd feel a lot better if I practiced on myself first. You probably would too. [ he chuckles a bit, reaching out to feel the soft patch of skin among stubble. ]

[ Kakashi laughs, an honest and open laugh however brief it may be, then moves to settle himself on the closed seat of the toilet. He reaches out a hand to beckon Adrian over. ]

You said you wanted the experience, didn't you? There's nothing to be gained by running away from something that seems difficult.

[ Said Hatake Kakashi, the ninja afraid of feelings. ]

Just take this-- [ He holds Adrian's soft hand in his, opens his fingers for him, places the kunai handle in his palm, and closes his fingers again. ] --and go slowly. You can do it.

[ His expression is half-moon eyes and a gentle smile. ]

I trust you.

Edited 2017-04-17 19:55 (UTC)

[ he's not really sure why he moved over to kakashi when he was so determined to pass on the opportunity, but he did. and he's not sure why he let kakashi pry open his hand to place the weapon in his grasp, but he did. there was just something incredibly warm and reassuring in every movement and every word and adrian kind of wishes the butterflies in his stomach would stop distracting him.

but then kakashi gives him that smile and leaves him breathless. he knows how much it means to have his trust, let alone to hear him say it, and adrian just kind of shakes his head with a short laugh. he might even be blushing too. ]

Alright, alright, but just a little bit. [ kakashi has a lot more faith in adrian than adrian himself and he leans down to steal a kiss, a very thorough and appreciative one. ] Ready?

[ Kakashi is slowly starting to notice what effects he has on Adrian, and how similar they can be to what Adrian makes him feel- this just happens to be one such occasion. Kakashi is so attentive to his surroundings at all times, thanks to being an ninja and also being a pretty nosy guy, so even when he's reading a book he's paying attention. Though as far as he's concerned it's kind of hard not to pay attention to Adrian; he's beautiful, he's kind and very present wherever he goes and whatever he's doing, and he has a habit of walking right into Kakashi's personal space and curling up like a content cat, so it's no surprise that Kakashi has gotten used to watching him, thinking about him.

The way Adrian shakes his head, laughs, the way his skin goes slightly pink.. Kakashi can understand that feeling, because Kakashi has felt it too.. He still feels it now, as evidenced by the way his shoulders are slightly pink under Adrian's gaze.

He's thoroughly distracted by the kiss, though, and hums with his eyes closed and a dreamy expression on his face for a few moments even after they've parted. Then he opens his eye and blinks a few times, nodding and smiling in agreement. ]

Ready.

[ adrian smiles and bites his lip, taking absolute delight in the dreamy expression that's shortlived. partly because it's utterly adorable but also because he understands the feeling all too well. ] I hope so. This just might be a disaster...

[ but he soldiers on, against his instincts and every bone in his body telling him not to. his free hand provides support for kakashi's chin while the other presses the flat of the blade gently against his jaw, as was observed earlier. his grip on the handle is firm and steady nevertheless and after a long moment of calculating and hesitating, he presses down with light pressure. it's not the cleanest shave but at least there's no blood, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. it's actually not so bad.

so he moves on to the next patch then the next, slowly but surely becoming more comfortable and accurate and he even manages to stick it out until halfway through, where the cozy silence is suddenly interrupted by laughter. ]

Maybe you should take over now. This isn't looking so great. [ but at least it couldn't be said he didn't try. ]

[ Kakashi keeps his eye open for a little while, dark eyelashes blinking slowly as he watches a spot on the tiles, reluctantly trying not to look at Adrian so that he didn't distract him and end up causing the other to slice his face off... Eventually, though, it gets too difficult and he has to just close his eye and focus on the sensation; both of the cold blade against his skin and of Adrian's soft hands on his face. It's nice to be able to do domestic things like this, things Kakashi literally never thought he'd ever be able to do given the way he is and his lifestyle.. It makes him wonder what other nice things he's able to do now with Adrian's help-- cooking together, going out on dates, watching fireworks...

He blinks at Adrian's words and can't help the soft laugh that escapes him. He stands and carefully leans around Adrian to peer in the mirror, hands brushing over his own cheeks to examine his attempt. ]

It's not so bad for a first try. You should have seen my first. I got frustrated and gave up half way through. For weeks I had one overgrown cheek and one almost smooth. [ He smiles, and reaches out to pluck the blade from Adrian's fingers, spins it in his palm again (stupid show off) and sets to work quickly finishing up the rest with almost worrying speed and confidence. ]

[ it's a pretty bad attempt in adrian's eyes, at least until he hears kakashi's story. then it's suddenly not so bad and he lets out a chuckle. ] That's horrible. [ the poor thing. he didn't exactly have the luxury of someone fixing his mistakes like adrian did now, so the frustration was completely understandable.

kakashi has the kunai in hand once more and adrian watches his incredibly swift movements with a mixture of awe and unease. he's been doing it for so long though, adrian knows he shouldn't feel as worried as he does.

so as the other continues to shave, he moves beside him to lean against the counter, making himself comfortable. his eyes are focused on the mirror but his thoughts eventually roam elsewhere. like the breakfast in the kitchen he should probably tell kakashi about sometime today, or the changes in the town that definitely weren't there during his last visit. ]

Hey, Kakashi... Is there some sort of event in town?

[ Kakashi soon finishes up and wipes the kunai blade on a nearby cloth, then wipes his face on it too. He looks to Adrian with the cloth still covering his mouth, and it's unclear whether he did it on purpose or whether it's habit manifesting itself in a strange way, but either way, he answers as if everything is normal. ]

Oh, yeah. There's a matsuri for the anniversary of Konoha's founding being held this week. I think the fireworks are tonight, actually.

[ Convenient. No wonder he was thinking about fireworks. He doesn't usually go to festivals -- or rather he never intends to but finds himself turning up anyway -- but this one is special. ]

There's stalls and food stands and every member of the village, shinobi or otherwise, comes out to celebrate. Last year I didn't see much of it. I had an eating contest with Gai and neither of us could move very much.. [ He looks at himself in the mirror and lowers the cloth. He looks different than he normally does, and he has a decent theory as to why that might be. He looks to Adrian. ] You... Would you, uh.. like to go?

[ the way his eyes gleam with excitement and the ever radiant smile on his lips is probably a clear indicator of how he'll answer that question. parties, gatherings, celebrations of any kind were all very much up his alley and not only was the prospect of food and games and fireworks something to look forward to, but also the possibility of kakashi participating in another eating contest. that would be entertaining indeed... ]

And just when exactly were you planning on mentioning it? [ probably at the very last minute knowing him. ] Of course I'd like to go! What time does it start? What should I wear? What will you wear?

[ all very important questions, yes, and he leans in nice and close with curious eyes. curious and then mischievous, his voice lowering to a playful tune. ] Is this our first date?~

[ Adrian being this level of excited about a get together makes Kakashi's heart do a little flip that could have probably knocked him sideways if he wasn't so good at self control. He isn't a social gatherings kind of guy - when he goes he usually goes for the free food or the snooping he can do poised at the back of the room in the shadows - but the fact that Adrian is, in complete opposite to his own personality, is strangely endearing. He's happy to go just because it'll make him happy, which is a big deal for someone as selfish as Kakashi usually is.

He flushes to his ears at the playful question and has to avert his eyes, covering his mouth and the bashful smile there with a hand as he answers. ]

I suppose, if you want it to be.. [ He looks at Adrian again, certain that Adrian will want it to be and happy for that fact. ] As for your questions, ah.. I forgot until you mentioned it, but it usually starts when the sun starts to set. And I'll probably wear a yukata, but you can wear whatever you like.

[ he's completely charmed by the flush across kakashi's face, the way he looks away and covers himself briefly. it's one thing to expect his bashful response but an entirely different thing altogether to see just how adorable it is every time. pleased to hear they have the entire daytime to themselves, in which adrian will eventually figure out what to wear, he steps closer and wraps his arms around kakashi's very bare and very strong shoulders. ]

So that gives us approximately twelve whole hours to do what we want in the meantime. [ the way his eyes start to roam down the other's chest and the way fingertips grip at shoulder blades is probably a good giveaway for what he wants and very soon. but he behaves, and whatever arousal was present suddenly subsides with an innocent expression. ] I brought breakfast by the way.

[ and when he leans in for a kiss it's surprisingly just as chaste, but the same can't be said for the next words to leave his lips. ] You're gonna want all the energy you can get.
