Falling for my Sensei •• Kakashi Hatake x OC

Forever

Kakashi crouches down again in front of her and her small arms immediately cling to him.

He wipes at her tears as she lets out tiny hiccups and puts one of her  hands on his arm for comfort.

"Don't wanna- go." She looks at him with her watery eyes and I can see him nearly melt.

"Amiyah. I know you're sad that you have to go home. I'm sad too." He takes her hands in his, holding them tightly. She nods her head, her bottom lip quivering.

"But guess what?" He says , wiping away some more of her stray tears.

"What?" She asks softly.

"You can come over anytime. You can spend the night, and Ari and I will take you and your sister for ice cream. Would you like that?" He asks her.

She looks back at him for a moment almost trying to see if he's telling the truth.

"You promise?" She sniffles, the hint of a smile just barely showing on her face.

"Of course. I promise you." She stares at him before breaking out into a wide grin.

"Ice cream!" She squeals loudly before wrapping her arms around his neck again.

This time he picks her up and hugs her back before handing her off to Emiko.

Emiko smiles at us and looks at her little sister in her arms.

"She's very fond of you Kakashi."

I see him blush slightly. "I'm fond of her too."

"Thank you guys for spending time with them today." Em says as they start to walk out the front door.

"They're great kids. Especially that little one." He points at Amiyah as she breaks out into a fit of giggles.

"Bye Kashi." She waves wildly at him. She looks over at me, giving me a big dimpled smile.

"Bye bye Kari!"

"Bye sweetheart." I wave one more time before closing the door.

"Okay. That little girl fucking loves you." I laugh as I walk back into the kitchen.

He chuckles and shakes his head as he pours himself a glass of wine.

"She's very sweet." He says.

I watch him put the wine bottle back into the fridge.

"Drinking at three in the afternoon?" I tease him. "You good?"

He takes a giant gulp from his glass and places it back on the counter.

He tries to relax his face but the little crease between his brows tells me he's anything but relaxed.

He walks over to our stereo, turning it on and pressing play on his phone.

The apartment fills with beautiful, slow music.

Music that makes my heart beat faster in my chest as he walks back over to me.

"You know, you've actually never danced with me."

He holds his hand out to me in the middle of the kitchen, waiting for me to come towards him.

I giggle bashfully as I reach forward, putting my hand in his. He pulls me against his chest and places a hand on my waist.

It takes me a moment to get used to the way he sways us back and forth.

But as soon as I've fallen in sync with him, I let him lead us slowly to the music. I place my head down against his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

"You wanna know a secret?" He purrs by my ear.
