Falling for my Sensei ?? Kakashi Hatake x OC

Can't Sleep

I'm sure he will call me at some point today.

I get up from my bed and throw a sweatshirt on over my naked torso and slide on a pair of shorts.

I walk into my kitchen and fill up a glass with water. I lean my back against the cool fridge as I gulp down the entire glass.

The water bathes my dry throat and successfully settles my nerves a bit. I place the empty glass in the sink and walk back into my room.

I know that there's no way I'm going to be able to fall back asleep tonight.

At least tonight I woke up a little later than yesterday night.

I grab a blanket from the foot of my bed and wrap it around myself, using the light of the moon to help me maneuver through my dark bedroom.

I unlock the sliding glass door to my balcony and push it open. A light breeze sends a shiver down my spine as the air brushes against my skin.

I sit on the floor in my usual spot and stare out onto the water behind my apartment building.

I try to think of anything other than my boyfriend being miles away from me on a life threatening mission doing God knows what.

Fuck.

There's not one thing that can take my mind off of Kakashi right now.

I take my phone out and find only the disappointment of a blank screen.

I feel kind of guilty considering the time of night it is, but I'm going to call the one person that I know will answer at any time of the day.

I put the phone to my ear and wait as it rings. Iruka answers on the third ring.

"What's wrong?"

There's panic in his voice but it doesn't fully mask the sleepiness.

"Can we start Saturday morning pancakes a bit early?"

I try to make myself sound innocent so that he doesn't become irritated with me for calling him at this time.

I hear the phone shuffle on the other end of the line.

"Ari, its four in the morning." The panic in his tone is gone and all that's left is the sleepiness.

"I can't sleep Iruka." There's a silent plead to my voice and I hear him let out a quiet sigh.

"Don't ever say that I don't love you."

I smile to myself at how lucky I am to have him in my life.

"Thanks, Iru."

"Mhm, see you soon."

I take the phone from my ear and press end, checking my text messages one more time.

Nothing.

Ugh, the rest of these two weeks are going to be hell.

It takes about half an hour for Iruka to get to my apartment. But when he does, he has coffee.

"I love you! You're amazing!"

I hug him tightly and snatch the cup from his hand.

He laughs at how I desperately sip at the hot liquid, unfazed by how it burns my tongue.

"You look like shit. No offense."

He places his cup on the coffee table and settles into the couch. I join him as I curl up on the opposite end.
