A/N: Just a little fun. Enjoy and please review!!

“Sakura?”

Sakura had just finished brushing her teeth and turned around to find a shirtless and maskless Kakashi staring at her. She heard something about ‘Where do I find extra paper towels’ but she was completely surprised to see the oh-so-tight abs in Kakashi’s abdomen followed by some incredible pectorals and toned arms with a wide chest that was not covered in hair and a masculine face that yelled ‘I’m a greek god’. Needless to say, Sakura roamed the vision in front of her shamelessly, taking into memory every single rock hard defined muscle in his upper body. Oh, if he were only wearing a towel instead of his sweatpants!

Kakashi watched Sakura amused and satisfied at her reaction. He saw her eyes widen and her mouth drop a bit while her gaze scanned his body twice over. He was more pleased with the small blush that appeared in her cheeks making her look as sexy as ever. Now, he just waited for the stuttering and awkward stumbling that would inevitably follow her sudden lapse in concentration.

“Uh, Sakura?”

“Damn Kakashi!” Sakura said as she motioned one finger to follow her and used her other hand to fan her face. “You should issue a warning or something when you go shirtless. Geez! Making me blush like a teenager.” She was fanning herself and mumbling, laughing at herself for her little ogling session.

Kakashi was stunned. He never expected her to react so nonchalantly. Was she not impressed with his physique? Although, she did imply she liked what she saw with the comment of the blush and everything, but was it appealing enough for her? As if she was reading his thoughts, she opened the door to a closet and turned sideways to address him.

“Do you know how HOT you are?”

Kakashi was now embarrassed, but he controlled the blush that wanted to creep to his face. “Now, how am I supposed to answer that, Sakura?” he replied trying to keep the flirtatious banter they had started.

Sakura returned to the closet to look for the paper towels as she answered him. “Well, there are several ways to respond to that question. If you were modest you would say something like ‘You are too kind, Sakura-chan,’ If you were a cocky bastard you would say ‘Why, yes, Sakura-chan, I’m very aware of the effect of this godly visage on women all around the world.’ If you were narcissistic you would say something like ‘You think so? What part do you really think is the hottest? My rock hard abs or my finely chiseled arms?’” She pulled out the paper towel roll and turned to face him, a devilish smile on her face as she continued. “BUT, since you are Hatake Kakashi after all, I guess you will reply something like this.” She moved her free hand to her neck and rubbed it nervously mimicking Kakashi and then said “Ahahahahaha”.

Kakashi watched her with amusement, noticing that he had his hand behind his neck at the moment. Both looked at each other in the eyes for another second before she busted out laughing and he joined in with his own heartfelt laugh.

Sakura threw the paper towel at Kakashi and smiled cheekily at him. “You know Kakashi? I’m all for ‘less is more’ when it comes to you. More shirtless and maskless days I say!” She moved past him and she ventured her hand to his stomach, her soft fingers touching his abs in a sweeping motion as she passed by him. “Ooh, definitely, you need to show your naked torso some more, sensei.”

Kakashi flinched at her touch and stood frozen on the spot, unable to utter a word or think for that matter. He watched as Sakura headed back to her room and raised her hand in a wave saying ‘Good night!’ before she disappeared behind a door. When he finally came out of his stupor, he brought his hand to the spot where Sakura’s soft fingers had touched his skin and thought about what it would feel like to have her hand on the rest of, what did she call them, rock hard abs.

In her own room Sakura stood behind her door with a hand to her forehead. What was she thinking! She had seen parts of Kakashi’s body and face a hundred times, but never together and much less when she was drunk and about to go to bed. Her playful banter was not new, she was pretty much that way ever since she turned 20, but whatever possessed her to touch him? She didn’t know. She touched her sensei’s abs for Kami’s sake! But what nice abs, she laughed to herself. She sighed and started getting ready for bed thinking of the feel of her former sensei’s body. Sakura had just finished changing into her oversized shirt turned into pajamas, when she heard a knock at her door. She opened it to find Kakashi standing there looking…different.

“Yes?”

Kakashi looked her over bottom to top. Her long shapely legs and that creamy skin of hers were so enticing. He moved inside the room past her touching her hip and derriere as he went.

“Kakashi!”

“What? Are you the only one allowed to touch?”

Sakura developed a furious rosy blush on her cheeks at his forwardness. More than that, she liked the way his hands felt on her and, well, she was coming out of her sake stupor and she did touch him first. “Well…”

Kakashi smirked at her blush. “I thought maybe we could do some…exploring tonight, Sakura.”

Sakura deadpanned. She must have heard wrong. “W-What are you talking about?”

Kakashi grabbed one of her wrists and pulled her towards him as he sat at the edge of the bed, putting her in between his legs. “I’m saying,” he whispered as one of his hands gripped her hip in place and the other moved to her breast, “that you had the chance to ogle me and touch me and I want the same chance.”

Sakura was speechless while Kakashi’s hands started doing wonderful things to her body. Sakura was 24 and regarded as the best kunoichi after Tsunade. She had grown in height and curves, as well as skills and intelligence. But more than that, she was confident and flirtatious and damn witty. The combination of her exotic beauty, dangerous skills and confident demeanor quickly made her the most desirable kunoichi in Konoha…even to the famous copy nin.

Kakashi had fallen in love with her somewhere in the past two years. He knew it was happening and tried everything he could to stop it, but it was beyond him. Sakura had been the only female in his life for 12 years and she was someone that knew him well and still put him above all others. Kakashi often wondered about his relationship with Sakura. She was close to him unlike others, but he knew it was futile to even pine for her. How could she ever like him back? He was 38 and jaded and unsociable and awkward and late for everything, but he loved her like nobody else would ever love her, he was sure of this. And yet tonight, her touch crumbled his self control and he felt daring enough to see how she would react to him confessing his feelings for her. Her low moan as he rubbed her breast led him to think that she would not refuse him.

“Sakura,” his voice came out husky and full of lust, “tell me to stop and I will.”

Sakura was lost in the sensations that were overwhelming her. Kakashi had been living in her spare room for a couple of weeks since the water heater on the roof of his apartment exploded and flooded his place. She had been awakened to a drenched Kakashi at her door that stood with a bag and a sorry story of being almost drowned alive in his apartment. She had laughed so hard thinking it was one of his lame excuses, but noticing that their was no water in the vicinity and he was really drenched, she told him he could use the spare room in her apartment for as long as he needed. And that is how he got to here, leisurely living in Sakura’s apartment touching her in ways that she was sure he should not be doing.

“Sakura…”

“Kakashi,” she finally pulled away from him and stared into his lust filled eyes. “What do you want from me? I can’t do casual with you, you are too dear to me to be a one night stand.”

Kakashi’s eyes softened and she could see deep feelings in them. “Sakura, you are special to me, too.” He rose and took a step closer to her, closing the distance between them. “I’m sorry if I’m being forward, but your touch tonight…I… I’ve liked you for a while, Sakura.”

“Y-You have?”

“Sakura,” he kissed her forehead and leaned his against hers. “I’ve fallen in love with you.”

Sakura was frozen. The revelation that Kakashi was in love with her was short of earth shattering.

Kakashi was nervous. Her silence was scaring him and he didn’t want to hear rejection from her. She was too precious to him and after tonight things would change, he was hoping for the better. “Sakura?”

“…”

“Can I at least show you how I feel?”

Sakura didn’t have time to reply as she felt his soft lips on her kissing her gently. She could feel all the emotion behind that kiss and she smiled against his lips. She started kissing him back, showing himher feelings that she kept hidden. His eyes opened in surprise and then close as he moved his hand to her neck to pull her into a searing kiss that ignited both of their desire for each other.

He finally pulled away for air and looked into her glazed eyes. “Do you…”

“Yes,” she answered smiling at him.

“Why didn’t you say anything before?”

Sakura bit her lower lip. “I never thought you’d feel the same way, so I was planning on never saying anything and just hoped to get over you.”

Kakashi looked at her surprised by her statement. “You’d just give up like that?”

She smiled weakly. “I’d rather have you as a friend than confess and not have you at all.”

He understood and his gaze softened.

“What about you Kakashi?”

“Me? Well, now that I know you feel the same way all I’m thinking is something you said earlier.”

“Oh?”

“More shirtless and maskless days ahead for us. And let’s start with your shirt.”

Sakura didn’t have time to argue as her shirt flew over her head to reveal her naked body to him. Kakashi drank the beautiful sight that was Sakura as he turned her to the bed.

“Kakashi, are you blushing?”

Kakashi smirked. “You should have a warning of your own. You arebeautiful, Sakura.”

And as he laid her on the bed and climbed on top of her he thought that he should have blown that water heater a long time ago.
