I Came For a Show

Start from the beginning
                                    

"How'd everything go with your stitches baby?"

His warm eyes meet mine and he brings his hand to my chin, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

"A little tougher than I expected but that's your fault." I look at him confused.

"I'll explain later." He chuckles.

"And how'd things go with Lady Tsunade?" I ask. He visibly stiffens. Looking back down at his book and then shutting it.

"As good as it could've gone, I guess." He mutters.

"Oh?" I say waiting for him to explain.

"It's nothing. Just some paper work stress is all." His eyes look distant and cold in comparison to how they were a second ago. I don't believe him but I'm not going to pry. So I nod my head once.

"Alright, shall we get this going then? I came for a show." Asuma leans against a tree bringing his lighter to the tip of the cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm ready." I nod my head in determination as I walk out into the clearing.

"Fucking son of a god damn bitch!" I snap. I hold my right arm up in front of me with my left hand. I don't have the strength to keep it up on its own anymore.

Asuma howls with laughter from the edge of the clearing and Kakashi looks on in amusement from the tree he's leaning on.

"Give it up kid. You've been at it for hours already. Your fucking hand is gonna burn off." Asuma chuckles.

"I think it already has." I huff in frustration. I close my eyes in concentration, trying to once again gather all of my chakra into my palm.

The low crackling of lightning fills the air for a moment as the tiniest, most pathetic orb of purple light appears in my palm.

"Okay, now faster!" Kakashi yells.

I screw my eyes shut tightly, willing my chakra to vibrate faster in my palm. The orb of lightning glows brighter and bigger for a moment.

My eyes widen as I force it to grow in my hand for the first time all afternoon. Suddenly the ball of energy explodes sending me back about 6 feet and landing on my ass with a loud thud.

Kakashi runs over to me and Asuma quickly stands to his feet.

"You okay?" Kakashi asks, kneeling next to me.

"Yes." I sigh. "I'm fine. Just annoyed."

He chuckles at me and pulls my right hand into his to inspect my palm.

A couple of small blisters have already started forming where the intensity of my chakra has lightly burnt my skin.

My arm is heavy and the uncomfortable feeling of pins and needles blankets my skin.

"You did really good for your first day love." he attempts to reassure me.

I'm too drained to complain about everything I could've done better, so I just weakly smile back at him.

"Say it." He looks at me sternly.
"I know you. I'm not going to let you talk shit on yourself for the rest of the night. So say it." He says more forcefully.

"I did good for my first day." I mumble lazily, my lips turned downwards in a defeated frown.

He rolls his eyes at me.
"You're cute when you're disappointed in yourself." He pinches my cheek and I swat his hand away with my good arm.

He reaches out to help me to my feet.

"I'm starving." I announce. He drapes an arm around me as we walk back towards the village.

"I have to have dinner with Emiko's father tonight. The guy fucking hates me." I can tell he's stressed as he takes a longer than usual drag from the cigarette in his mouth.

"Be on your best behavior Asuma. But also, be yourself. He'll warm up to you." I say.

"Hopefully soon. I'm tired of kissing the guy's ass." He mutters. "Just have to keep telling myself it's all worth it."

We spend the rest of the walk giving Asuma advice on things not to say in front of Emiko's father. Although, I have faith that he won't fuck anything up.

Once we get into the village we part ways with him and continue on our way home.

"We could turn it into an office." I suggest. I watch him as he eats another spoonful of ice cream from the other end of the couch.

I lean my head against the pillow, pushing my freshly washed hair over my shoulder. The shower only irritated my hand. I rub over my sore palm with my thumb.

My eyelids feel heavy and I can feel sleep calling my name. I know after this, I'm going to crash for the night. Training today completely wiped me out.

"It's just that since Iruka moved out two years ago, that second bedroom hasn't been used for anything." I say. He gathers another spoonful of ice cream and holds it out to me. I take it and lick the frozen dessert off of the spoon.

"Actually, I think that's a great idea. We both need space to work on our mission reports and what not." He agrees.

"So we'll look for office furniture too then?" I ask. He nods in response.

"Yeah, love. Just pick out anything you want tomorrow." He says.

I raise an eyebrow at him playfully.

"Anything? What if I want the most expensive furniture in the entire store?"

He moves forward and places the empty bowl onto the coffee table, picking his book back up. He pats his lap and I move to sit on him.

His arms wrap around me protectively and I lean onto his chest feeling drained.

"For you, yes. Anything." He hums warmly, pressing his lips to my forehead. He opens up his book and begins to read silently to himself. We sit quietly for several minutes, my ear pressed against his chest, sleep creeping in on me.

"You never told me what Lady Tsunade wanted with you today." I mention casually. I remember his reaction today at the field when I had asked him about it.

I feel his muscles tense for a quick moment. He shuts his book.

"She just wanted an update on how I was doing since it was my first day cleared to go back to normal." His voice comes out stressed.

I glance up at him. And gently take his face in between my hands.

"You would tell me if something else was going on, right?" I whisper, searching his face for the answer that I'm looking for.

He looks back at me, stone faced. Fuck, he can be so hard to read when he wants to be.

Before I can ask him again, his face softens. He leans in and presses his lips against mine.

"Nothing else is going on baby." I give him a halfhearted smile and lean my head back against his chest.

He opens his book back up and continues reading.

I chuckle to myself at how paranoid I'm being. There's no way that Kakashi would ever lie to me.
