Wait For Me (Reader Insert)

Chapter 13: >(^•w•^)<

Upon noticing you, he tapped impatiently waiting for you to let him in. You sighed to yourself, noting that sometimes somethings just don't change before giving in and opening your window.

"Finally, I was beginning to feel like they'd keep you in there forever." He muttered as he made himself comfortable on your bed.

"How long were you out there?"

"Since you went to the Hokage's office with Kushina and Minato. I figured you'd be sent back soon, but I was obviously wrong." He paused to look you in your eyes. "What happened in there?" He asked bluntly.

"He just wanted to ask some questions concerning my disappearance. Nothing much, really."

He could sense that there were more to your words but judging by the faint look in your eyes, he didn't question it.

"Now tell me, why were you just squatting outside my window for the longest?"

"I-..." He genuinely stuttered for the first time in a while, trying to find the right words. "I-uh..Just... wanted to make sure you were okay..." He looked down at his feet as if replaying his words in his head to make sure they sounded right."

Feeling the place beside him begin to sink and grow warmer, he looked over to see you sitting next to him. You pressed you knees to your chest as you stared at him.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Are you hurt anywhere?" His hand began to curl into a tight fist as he continued. "Did he... do anything to you?"

"Kakashi..." You lay a gentle hand on his back. "I'm fine, and I'm here now. Isn't that all that matters?"

"..."

You stay quiet at his silent response. Waiting for him to give him a verbal one, you keep your eyes trained on your room door.

"I guess it is. I'm glad that your safe, (Y/n)."

He stood up to exit through the window before finding himself to be on something soft. He looked up in a haze, not remembering being so far away from the window.

"Sorry."

He blinked, only now realizing the warmth that was pressed to his back as well as the one creeping to his cheeks. "Why are you apologizing?"

"Earlier, I was told that when I was gone, you had repeatedly requested for a search party and lead the patrol each and every time, not once giving in and losing hope in me." You began softly. "If I wasn't so caught up in my own feelings, none of this would've happened. I must've put you through a lot of stress." You look down as your voice became quieter and and quieter with every word, your arms now loosely hung around his waist as your chest was pressed to his back. "I'm sorry."

A moment passed and no reaction came of the male. Your mind was abuzz as you honestly didn't know what to expect. The only thing comforting you at the moment was the fact that he hadn't fought against your hold on him and pushed you away.

You felt your heart skip a beat and your breath caught in your throat when he leaned into you. Pressing his back closer to you as if wanting take as well as share the warmth between the two of you.

"It's fine. As mentioned before, all that matters is that you came back without harm." His voice was surprisingly gentle as he reached one hand up to hold your arm that was still hung loosely around him.

Letting the words sink in, you recovered from your shock and smiled a bit, tightening your hold on him before slowly retracting your arms. He stopped you mid way, grabbing both of your arms and bring them back around his waist.

"Can we stay like this for a little bit longer?"

Your eyes widened a bit at his request, but none the less, you obeyed. Smiling, you burried your face into the crook of his neck as you enjoyed every second of that peaceful moment.

"Awe~ They're so cute~"

"Sshh, Kushina. They'll notice us."

Your ear twitched at the hushed whispers as you looked up and over to your door in confusion.

"I think they already noticed us..."

"Don't move, you might be over thinking it."

"No we noticed you." Kakashi's voice rung loud and clear throughout the room, his tone holding a pinch of annoyance to it.

Minato breathed a sigh and pushed the door open to reveal himself and Kushina. "I guess there's no hiding our presence now."

Kushina only chuckled.

"H-how long have you guys been there?" You stuttered, fearing the answer.

"Since the beginning." Kushina stated bluntly. "I never knew Kakashi had this much of a soft side to him." She teased, making both you and Kakashi blush in embarrassment.

"It's getting late. I hope your not planning on staying here all night, after all school starts tomorrow and I'm sure your father is wondering where you are." Minato's eyes were glued to Kakashi as he said this. He looked calm enough but his voice had a edge to it that was meant for only Kakashi to sense.

Almost immediately, Kakashi released your arms and stood up from his seat on your bed. "Right, I'll be on my way." He said, heading for the window as he readied himself to jump. "Later."

You, who was constantly switching gazes between Kakashi and Minato, grabbed Kakashi's foot with little effort. He looked down at you in puzzlement.

"Why not try to take the door this time." Your eyes held a glint of amusement as they flickered to Kushina and back. Kushina looked displeased with his antics but kept her mouth shut.

"Have it your way." Giving into your request, he made his way to your door where Minato and Kushina had made an opening for him to pass through. Walking passed the both of them, he walked all the way to your shared house's front door and raised a hand in a gesture of farewell before bidding everyone goodnight, exiting and closing the door behind him in the process.

When Kushina and Minato looked back to you, they was met with your sleeping figure sprawled about on your bed. Smiling to themselves, Minato let himself into your room and set you perfectly on your bed while Kushina tucked you in.

"Goodnight, (y/n)." They murmured before walking off to there own rooms.
