but with your dramatic pout and unbeatable persistent, he soon succumbed

several days before the date, you bought both of yourselves matching yukatas

and you were low-key uncertain if he would wear it on the day or not

seeing you so excited looking forward to the event, Kakashi couldn’t resist but said goodbye to his usual Shinobi attire for something totally different

the yukata looked stunning on the silver-haired

you cackled at his rambling when he checked himself in the mirror, assuring that he was breathtaking

you were even jealous when thinking about him getting all the up-and-down-checking-you-out stares from other people (the man is already hot in his usual attire, this would honestly cause a typhoon)

you held his hand and dragged him through the crowd, you pointed at a takoyaki stall, and smiled at him sheepishly

he chuckled at your child-like incitement and followed your lead, appeared seemingly annoyed but it was the absolute opposite inside

after hours of fun, you were tired, and it was also time for the fireworks to start

so both decided to settle on a bench while munching on your share of shaved ice with syrup (it was mostly you eating and him staring at you)

then he suddenly leaned into you and placed his soft lips on yours

Kakashi pulled away and you raised a questioning brow

he shrugged, “You had some syrup on your lips. Strawberry. Sweet.”

you blushed furiously at his poorly-made excuse nonetheless, earning a deep smirk from the man

you swore this was his nth-time pulling something like this and you just couldn’t get over his smug look

he gave a slight laugh and cupped your face with his hands, turning your gaze up to the sky, “You’ll miss the fireworks if you continue to stare at me like that.”

Maito Gai

You both brought up the Summer Festival date at the same time and laughed at the coincidence

you guys were waiting for this day to come for so long

a date with Gai wouldn’t only be filled with delicious foods, but also the fun games that they had

all of the games, to be exact

he would start at the “Scooping Goldfish” stall

and then he got you the biggest prize at the “Gun Shooting” game that the booth’s owner offered

after hours of rigorous labor, both of you were drenched in sweat, partially because of the summer heat 

or maybe because of how close your bodies were trying to squish through the crowds

but Gai couldn’t hide his big grin dangling at the corner of his lips

his hands were full of the different prizes but he would never let go of your little hand

he guided you up a more secluded hill and settled down

even though he loves huddled and engaging activities, he finds it very peaceful to just sit with you side by side as if everything boils down to your existence

so the man scooted closer to where you were sitting and you rested your head on his shoulder

you gasped in awe as the bursts of colors dazzled across the black canvas, sparks after sparks of fireworks splattered in front of your eyes

you turned to ask him if the fireworks were beautiful and he said, “You’re beautiful.”

which confused you much

then Gai nudged your shoulders, “Thank you for being with me, my firework.”

Genma Shiranui

The place was so crowded that both of you found it almost impossible to squeeze yourselves in between the throng of people

when you were able to detach from the crowd to fully stopped in front of a stall, you realized Genma was nowhere to be seen

your first instinct was to peer back into where you originally pulled yourself from

but you grew more anxious as time went on and you couldn’t spot his figure

worried, you went back in an attempt to search for Genma

after ten minutes of frantic pacing, you felt a pull on your arm and you were instantaneously surrounded with a familiar scent

he looked at you from above and wiped the beads of sweat on your forehead with the sleeve of his yukata, a soft frown was centered between his brows

before he could ramble about the incident, you quickly directed his attention to the cotton candy stall next to both of you with a grin plastered on your lips

he would let it slide for now as he took your hand in his, making sure that your fingers were intertwined this time, he even linked your arms to double the security

with your flavorful cotton candy, the two of you made your way to the adjacent game booth, which happened to be “Senbonhiki”, a Japanese lottery game (you got the pun)

you were all fired up, more than ready to get going but no matter how many times you tried, luck wasn’t on your side

that was when the man stepped in

he literally pulled one string and won, which made you glance at him in jealousy, questioning your unlucky self with frustrated whines

Genma smirked and he leaned down to pinch your cheeks because he found you so cute, earning a playful groan from you (and the booth owner was like, “Hey, hello, are you going to get the prize or not?”)

afterward, both of you made your way to the bridge to get the best view of the notable fireworks

and you barely heard him mumbled, “Don’t ever leave me again.”

just a side note, you never thought wearing yukata with a bandana would ever look that good.

Raido Namiashi

Both of you were very busy at the time with work, it would be great to spare some time and enjoy the signature fireworks at the Summer Festival together

you thought you would have a relaxing time with Raido

but the man had other plans

you arrived at the destination half an hour before the fireworks performance was scheduled and waited for Raido but he was nowhere in sight

after twenty minutes, your patient ran out as you were looking at everyone having fun, and not be able to do anything but observe

then a masked figure dangled himself from above the tree that you were leaning against (which happened to be the Tengu one and it scared the heck out of you), his face inches away from yours

his sudden appearance made you jump in bewilderment as you swung your arms in all directions

happened to lose your balance, you stumbled and landed unceremoniously on the hard ground

Raido took off the mask and clumsily helped you to your feet, explaining that he only wanted to give you a stress release

but you realized you sprained your ankle, you scoffed at the man

he would apologize and quickly kneeled down, signaling you to climb onto his back

you didn’t want to miss the fireworks so you wearily threw yourself into his stability

he carried you through the crowd, earning gasps of jealousy and admiration from the others

you nuzzled your face into the empty space between his shoulder and his neck, hiding your feverish blush

he muttered something to you but it was too loud you couldn’t hear him, you peered at Raido with eyes of inquiry

but honestly, you couldn’t make out his words because you were completely occupied with how his strong arms were around and under your thighs and how his broad back was right against your chest and how his naturally comforting scent engulfed your sense and how...

the man chuckled as he hiked you up higher on his back, nodding his head in the direction of the fireworks

you looked up, trying to shift your attention to something else but him, and he instantly pecked your cheek, which made your face turned crimson red

“Are you getting a heat stroke at night?”

(and you officially passed out)
