Summary: Loneliness was not for him, Harry knew that. Then he met Kakashi and he found a solution to his problem.
Pair: Harry Potter/ Kakashi Hatake
Chapter 12
Harry was ready to close down the shop for the day. Kakashi was waiting for him at home and the wizard wanted to go back soon. They had the house to themselves for a while more and the two lovers wanted to take advantage of that fact.
When the bell jingled Harry fought a wince. He really did not want a customer right now but he was not about to turn them away.
He turned around to greet them and the smile froze on his face.
Jiraya was leaning against the door, a smug smile on his face, arms folded in front of him.
"Hello Jade, or Harry. Fancy seeing you in Konoha, especially after that stunt you pulled."
Harry's eyes narrowed. "Jiraya," he said.
The older man continued smirking.
"The shop is closing, get out," Harry responded.
"Oh? Is it? We need to talk green eyes."
"No, we don't. Not really," the wizard commented.
"I have questions."
"Congratulations," Harry drawled. He lazily shot a smirk at the Sanin. "Now I will repeat, get out."
Jiraya scoffed. "What are you going to do? Throw me out?"
"I am capable of it," Harry reminded the author and shinobi.
Jiraya let his hands drop to his sides and stood straight.
"I doubt you want anyone in Konoha knowing who you really are. There's a bounty on you. Sure, only missing Nin care about it enough to collect it, but the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage... your actions certainly earned their attention with your performance back in Ishigakure. The village is loyal to you, a true feat that, but that is not a fool proof plan."
The wizard knew his plan was fool proof, no matter what Jiraya thought. It had taken a variation of the Unbreakable Vow but the identity of the mysterious Jade was safe. He had even managed to cast a spell over the two Konoha shinobi that had been there and knew that it had partially worked. Jiraya and that blond student of his had refused to take the Vow, so he had made sure they could not blab about certain things by placing a small jinx that caused misfortune every time they made to tell someone, things like making them stumble or itch, nothing too harmful, just annoying enough to make them focus on something else. It was not fool proof either. Hence the other action Harry took that partially failed. The green eyed man had hit the youngest with an 'Obliviate' but the older shinobi had dodged and run off.
Harry scowled. "I can make sure you forget," he stated.
Jiraya lost his cool face. "Damn it kid! I am on your side!"
The wizard scoffed. "It certainly did not sound like that."
"It was for your safety!"
"Joining a village? Becoming shinobi?" Harry was bewildered.
"Your abilities..."
"Would make me a huge target," Harry hissed, truly angry about this. Jiraya had been impressed with his abilities even if he had not cared for the carnage that followed after the fall of Ishi and during Ishigakure's defence had been on par with something only high level shinobi could achieve. Jiraya had tried recruiting him for Konoha, or their allied village of Suna at least. He seemed to have a grudge against Iwa but that did not matter to Harry. Jiraya had fought at his side, he had had his back. But the moment he tried to recruit him to be used as a tool, Harry's every pore rebelled to the idea. He had been a pawn once, Dumbledore's pawn. The old wizard might have had good intentions for the magical world, but Harry had been handed the worst deal. He was not about to enter a situation that was like his past. Entering this new world had been a chance to start over and not even his heroic tendencies would make him choose shinobi life for himself. Jiraya had then tried to force the issue and Harry's temper and magic got away from him.
"Yet here you are, in Konoha..."
"Drop it Jiraya," Harry warned, the coldness in his voice making the older man wince. "And don't try to black mail me either. I don't like being backed into a corner and I can assure you that you will not like it either."
"You are threatening a shinobi of Konoha," Jiraya said in a warning tone, but his eyes, Harry noticed, were not serious.
"You threatened me first," Harry replied.
Jiraya shrugged. "Stalemate then. See you around green eyes."
Harry watched the man leave and felt his heart returning to its place.
"Damn," he muttered. And things had been going so well lately. He tried to close the shop but his nerves made everything just last longer. The panic he had felt when seeing Jiraya was just starting to settle.
Kakashi had a relaxed day.
He was mostly alone in Harry's house. He had gone out, done a few chores that needed to be finished and then he returned back there to relax. While he would not mind to snoop around now that the house was empty he respected Harry too much to do such a thing. He settled on reading. And not one of Jiraya's books. Harry and Teddy's house had an extended library. Most of the books were not in a language he understood but there were still a large number of them that were rare and interesting to a shinobi. So Kakashi took out a book titled 'Moste Potente Potions: Silent Poisons' which was a very odd title for a book for Harry to own. It had very interesting material inside, as well as many ideas on how to apply poisons and how to counter them. Kakashi was engrossed in this curiously morbid book when his lover returned.
"Kakashi," the green eyed man looked startled.
The silver haired man looked up and saw how shaken his lover looked. Kakashi dropped the book and approached him.
"Harry?" he asked.
"Sorry, I'll go make lunch..." Harry muttered and made a dash for the kitchen.
Kakashi frowned. Something was up. He followed his lover to the kitchen where he saw Harry busying himself with making lunch. Pots and pans and knives made noise as the raven haired pointedly ignored everything else. That was not a healthy attitude and it was something the green eyed man had not done before, ever. If anything it made Kakashi feel concern.
He finally had enough and he approached Harry. Trapping the other man in his arms in a loose embrace, Kakashi made Harry look at him.
"Something is bothering you," he whispered.
"It's nothing."
Kakashi's eyes narrowed. "It's not nothing," he told his lover. "You seem upset."
"Just having an odd day," Harry muttered.
"Bullshit. I've seen you in a rough day and this is not it," Kakashi stated.
Harry averted his gaze but Kakashi brought a hand up, cupped Harry's chin and made the green eyed man look at him again.
"I cannot help you if you don't tell me."
The wizard groaned.
"Kakashi... I'm fine!"
"You nearly killed those pans the way you were clanking them..."
"Drop it Kakashi."
"I won't," the shinobi countered. "Talk to me."
"I'm not ready."
The silver haired man sighed.
"I'm here."
"I know, and thank you."
Kakashi kissed Harry and left him to his thoughts, choosing to go back to reading his book until his lover was ready to talk or at least calm enough to not worry Teddy.
He was there again, watching him.
Harry scowled. He itched to hex Jiraya but reined it in. Kurenai noticed it too.
"What's going on?" the kunoichi asked.
Harry shrugged and went back to shelving herbs.
"Harry, I know you and Hatake are sleeping together."
"And?" the wizard shot at her.
"Haruno saw you fucking in an alley. Never thought you had it in you to be dominant."
Harry paused. Then he turned around and stared at her.
"Don't tell Kakashi that," Harry told her. "And dominance is not about who tops who in the bedroom. I mean it Kurenai, you better not tell anyone."
"I have not and Sakura has not talked to another either," Kurenai assured Harry. "Still, exhibitionism?"
"Just that one time," Harry lied. He was not about to mention all the other times he and Kakashi had sex outside the privacy of their respective homes.
"Hm, and it was quite steamy too," Kurenai went on.
"How much did that girl see?" the wizard muttered.
"And I bet it's not just sex between the two of you," the kunoichi continued, "That day at Teddy's party..."
"Get to the point please?"
"Why is one of the Sanin out there? He has been outside your shop for a few days now. He... it seems like he's checking on you, not in a good way."
Harry stayed silent.
"I know that he used to mentor Kakashi's first instructor," Kurenai went on to say. "So I would guess he's keeping an eye on him, but that still doesn't make sense! Most people are in the dark about you and Hatake..."
"The Hokage knows," Harry replied.
"She does?" Kurenai gasped. "Wait, never mind. About Jiraya... Well, he's a womaniser but... Harry, have you ever slept with him?"
Harry's face was the picture of distaste. "What? No! Get that thought out of your head!"
"It's the only plausible answer!"
"No, it is not," the wizard muttered. "He... I met the man before coming to Konoha. He does not like me much and I don't like him."
Kurenai frowned. "That's it?"
"That's it," Harry told her and went back to shelving his merchandise.
Teddy was sitting down and gulping on some water. Sasuke was seated near, watching him.
"What?" the boy asked.
"Nothing," Sasuke replied.
"You were staring at me so it cannot be nothing."
"You are quite mouthy."
"I know!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Your skills are good. Your speed and strength as well."
"A compliment?" Teddy asked with a smile on his face.
"And a question in there. How did you get so good? Your guardian did not seem like the athletic type."
"Looks can be deceiving," Teddy replied.
"They can," Sasuke agreed. "Up to another round against me?"
Teddy was on his feet. "After this, could you show me your Summons? Kenji said that Naruto's are Toads. What are yours?"
"Snakes," Sasuke replied with great reluctance.
Teddy was surprisingly not afraid, perhaps a bit intrigued by this information. But then again, Sasuke noted that Teddy was full of surprises and secrets. The Uchiha was hesitant to completely trust the kid; he learned to fear and be suspicious of geniuses. Still, Sasuke quite liked the kid, the same way Naruto liked having Konohamaru around.
Kakashi closed his fridge with a sigh. It was completely empty, nothing inside for mould to grow on, not even cold water to drink. He turned to Jiraya, who was looking at the one bedroom apartment with a bit of distaste. It was not unclean or anything, not untidy either. It was just empty, no mementos, no memorabilia. Merely rows of scrolls and a basket of dry laundry in a corner. All in all the place did not look lived in and Kakashi realized that he had been spending quite some time over at Harry's place.
"I'm out of sake," he told the Sanin.
"The tea."
Kakashi knew there was nothing in the cupboards either.
"No tea, sorry," he told Jiraya.
"Kakashi..." the man sighed. "How can you live like this? This place is impossible to live in."
"And you care now why?" Kakashi asked.
"That man you are with..."
"Did the Godaime put you up to this?"
Jiraya blinked. "Tsunade knows about you two?"
"Yes, as does Team 7, Asuma and Kurenai," Kakashi replied. "Your point in this?"
"How well do you know Harry?"
Kakashi stared.
"What's this now?" he demanded of the Sanin.
"Just concerned for you," Jiraya replies.
"When I joined ANBU in my teens, taking suicide missions one after another you barely said a word to me," Kakashi tells him and Jiraya winces. Kakashi recalls the dark times he went through. First Obito, then Minato, then his ANBU squad, his first long term relationship Kyo, his once team mate Rin. All those losses had done a number on him. The young genius he was then had chosen work as an outlet. He joined ANBU after Minato died, worked himself to exhaustion until Sandaime had to order him to step down from ANBU for at least a year to give his body and mind time to heal. It was the reason he had been assigned Team 7. Jiraya, through all that, had been absent. He might have sent the second copy of his Icha Icha series to him, but he had never cared about Kakashi's health and sanity.
"I saw the error of my ways," Jiraya defended himself.
Kakashi snorted. "I doubt that. Either you say what you want or get out. I have no time for nonsense."
"How serious are you about your lover?"
"None of your business," Kakashi stated. "Now if you don't mind I'm late for dinner."
"I will show myself out."
