SENTENCE PROMPT MEME

[modpuppet]

 HI GUYS SORRY I SUCK

So I think someone suggested this a while back? Maybe?

+ Pick a character/pairing, any character/pairing you want.
+ Write a SENTENCE. That's right, prompters, this time you're over the flames too! It can be one word, it can be sixty words, but write one sentence for author!anons to use in their fills. You may specify pairings,

Re: Kakashi/Naruto, AU, backstage.

And, suddenly, Naruto realized he was crying, tears sliding down his face from his blurring eyes, and he gulped in a shuddery breath as he got close enough that he could reach for Kakashi in just two more steps-

“Oh, for heaven’s sake,” a familiar female voice intoned from a surprisingly close distance.

Before Naruto had a chance to register that Sakura had pushed her way through the crowd to get to his side, she was already dragging him ahead and through a door almost hidden in the black of the walls to one side. The slightly muffled sound and the sudden brightness of the hallway made Naruto feel off-balance for a moment, but recovered quickly, not wanting to miss a moment more of Kakashi singing to him. He allowed Sakura to lead him for a mere beat longer, then his memory of past performances, when he watched and cheered from backstage, finally took over.

This boy wouldn't mind the pain,
Would always feel the same,

Then he was there, on the darkened backstage, watching Kakashi’s profile as he started the final verse. Naruto’s heart clenched momentarily, wondering if Kakashi knew where he’d gone; why he wasn’t there in the crowd anymore. Wondering if Kakashi was looking for him, or if he’d been able to see it was Sakura who’d pulled him away.

If this boy gets you back again.

Then Kakashi turned slightly, and Naruto was sure that quirk of a smile was meant for him.

This boy.

Naruto stepped closer, as close as he could get without the audience seeing him, yearning to close the distance between himself and the man he never should have left.

This boy.

It was like each slowly-plucked note was taunting him, dragging the song out as long as possible, until Naruto felt like an overtightened string, ready to snap.

This boy.

The song was over-finally-its bittersweetness settling like a blanket over the crowd, but Naruto suddenly felt quite the opposite of bittersweet as Kakashi excused himself for a five-minute break, walking towards where Naruto stood.

And then, in the pale blue glow of the backstage walk lights, Naruto grabbed his tie and kissed him, a flood of memory and feeling filling him, tightening his hold and increasing his urgency. Kakashi returned the kiss with equal fervor, but then the heat was tempered with tenderness, and a moment later he pulled away.

Naruto held fast to him, eyes wide and pleading and sorrowful, unable to hide his every emotion from this man. Kakashi cupped his face, thumb smoothing away forgotten tears as he kissed Naruto one more, sweet time.

“Do I get you back again?” he asked in a light tone belied by the tightness of worry around his eyes.

Naruto took a breath and gave a soft, relieved laugh. “Happy just to love me?” he asked with the hint of a smirk.

Kakashi’s worry melted away to be replaced by a much more familiar lascivious grin. “Well, maybe not just.”

Not the OP, but I kind of love this.  It's sweet, with the right touch of melancholy all throughout to make that sweetness really sweet.  The remembered 'old man' teasing is just so perfect and grin-inducing, and the idea of Kakashi and Asuma and Tenzou and Shikamaru in a band together is sort of awesome.  I'd love to see more of this AUniverse, but at the same time this is just kind of perfect as-is.  Thanks for filling this wonderful prompt with such a wonderful little fic, Anon!  ^_^

Thank you for the awesome comment. ^^ I was actually worried about this fill, as I wrote it at like 3am and posted immediately without reading over. ^^;; So I'm really happy someone liked it!
