#kushimina

Kakashi held the certificate in his hands, looking out on the village as the sun set. He'd been released from ANBU just an hour prior, everyone going their seperate ways to celebrate with friends and family. Obito had returned to the Uchiha section of the village, and Kakashi found himself fighting the twitch in his limbs that was telling him to go find him. He'd had half a mind, earlier, to go and tell Minato or Kushina, but he dropped the thought almost immediately.

He had no family to celebrate with.

So instead, he'd sat on the roof of the hokage's office and contemplated how to go and tell Obito to stay with him. It wasn't an elegant request, the plan was full of holes and Obito could always say no, but Kakashi knew he couldn't survive without his best friend by his side.

"So is there a reason you're out here, Kakashi?" Minato asked. Kakashi startled and nearly fell off the roof at the sudden appearance of his sensei and whirled around. Icy blue eyes met Kakashi's own gray, and the two nin stared at each other quietly. Minato raised his eyebrow.

"Sorry sensei, just thinking." He replied, settling back down on the roof. The yellow flash came to sit beside him, white cape fluttering behind him.

"About?" He prompted, taking the ANBU certificate from Kakashi. "When I graduated from ANBU, I went traveling. Is that what you want to do?"

Kakashi rapidly shook his head. He took off his headband and let his sharingan eye open, just slightly, before he closed it once again. Even just opening it for a second drained his chakra, but he didn't open it for the sharingan abilities. The same person that had given him the sharingan was the reason that Kakashi wouldn't travel.

"Obito is coming by later. I asked him what he wanted to do the other day, and he said he'd want to become a genin sensei. He'd practically be benched if that happened, and I can only imagine how often you two would be able to see each other after that."

Kakashi cursed his sly sensei. Minato was looking down at Kakashi's certificate with hooded eyes, and the Hatake noted the distinct drop in temperature in the air around him. Minato was teasing him, the damn sadist that he was.

"I don't want to leave him. I don't want him to leave me." Kakashi said eventually, snatching his certificate back. Kakashi couldn't imagine a life without Obito. Couldn't imagine not having his warm back at his own, snoring away. He couldn't imagine going out to eat Ramen and not having Obito there to crash his lunch and make him pay. He couldn't imagine going on a mission and having his twin sharingan working in tandem with him.

"What a coincidence, then. Obito had told me the same thing." Minato said airily. "Now Kakashi, I'll give you an ultimatum, because I know you would just torture yourself otherwise."

Kakashi looked curiously at his sensei, trying to study Minato's face- it was pointless. Minato Namikaze was impossible to read, especially when he was in such a mood as this.

"If you don't tell Obito your feelings before he enters my office..." Minato began, and Kakashi's breath came out in a puff. Minato must have been feeling especially sadistic, and dread build up in Kakashi's heart as he guessed to what Minato's condition would be.

"I'll take Obito for myself."

Minato's icy blues glowed in the setting sun, and Kakashi could see the hint of fang on his sensei's manic smile. He didn't need to be told twice.

He found Obito in less than a minute, walking up to the Hokage's office from the Uchiha section. Kakashi didn't give his friend any time to get a word in.

"Move in with me." He blurted, grabbing Obito by the shoulders. His friend's one visible eye flitted all over Kakashi's face, and then he laughed. Kakashi loved that laugh.

"Good one Kakashi. Come on, let's go tell Minato-sensei the news." Was all Obito said, trying to move past Kakashi. Obito meeting with Minato was the last thing that could happen. Kakashi knew that if he let Obito go now, he'd be Minato's little beauty before the sun set, and that couldn't happen.

"I'm serious!" He insisted. "There's an apartment near the academy that's really cheap and it has more than enough room for the both of us. I'll buy groceries, you cook, I'll clean on odd days you clean on evens. Just... just do it!"

Kakashi's voice nearly broke at the last sentence, and he was aware thay he sounded like a pouting child, but he could see in Obito's face how the Uchiha was slowly coming around to the idea.

"What, do you want to marry me or something?" Obito mocked. Kakashi's heart almost stopped beating.

Yes.

Yes.

"Yes."

Obito's eye blew wide. The two freshly graduated ANBU stared at each other like that, but then someone cleared their throat behind them.

"You were coming to see me, Obito?" Minato asked, ignoring Kakashi completely. The white haired ninja's heart was rabitting a mile a minute, and he waited with baited breath for Obito to respond.

"Oh yes, I have some good news." Obtio said, managing to recover his composure. He took Kakashi's hand in his own, and held them up for Minato to see.

"I have a boyfriend."

"That was a little mean of you, Minato." Kushina said, sitting in the windowsill of the Hokage office.

"Perhaps." Minato replied. "I thought you'd be more jealous than concerned for my treatment of our little genin."

Kushina only rolled her eyes. "They're not genin anymore. And why would I be jealous? That bite mark on your ass is from a kitsune, not a bake-neko."

Minato chuckled quietly. "Yes, I suppose I am marked. What a shame that this prominent bite mark on my posterior scares away potential suitors."

No match at all when she wiggles in his lap, teasing rosy nipples just above his lips. Just enough to make restraint that much more difficult.

He’s not quite sure whether the game is truly bondage, or one that consists of wrestling with his own self control. Judging from his wife’s mischievous smirk, he’s certain it’s the latter.

“Mina-kun, don’t you tear my scarves - I happen to like them!” Kushina huffs dramatically, poking a finger against his chest.

He can’t help it. He laughs. “Well Mistress-mine, perhaps you should use your chakra chains instead. Then I would be no match for your bonds!”

Tossing a fall of scarlet hair over her shoulder, Kushina swats his thigh, unable to keep a straight face, and clearly grasping for a diversionary tactic. Her flushed cheeks and dancing eyes give testament to just how close she is to dissolving into a fit of giggles herself. 

“Only you would think of jutsu right now, nerd. I’m just gonna have to double up on the scarves, I see. Quit trying to distract me, you’re supposed to be obeying me, Mina-kun.”

Another wicked grind against a very interested part of his anatomy has him considering whether bargaining is an option. Her little silky panties hardly cover a thing… If he’s distracting her, then she must be aware that she’s got him under her spell entirely.

“I promise to be good, sweet Mistress of my heart. Ah, I suppose chakra wouldn’t be so effective anyway...” 

The words that want to escape are at a level of cheese even worse than those of his Sensei’s novels, but once he starts he can’t stop.

“...since I’m already bound in the chains of your love.” Minato blurts. 

He can feel his cheeks flame crimson the moment the statement is said aloud. Yeah, real smooth, Yondaime.

Kushina freezes in place, blue eyes incredulous. Her face slowly assumes a color that is just as beet red as her husband’s, before she cracks up and smothers him in kisses.
