His story was lighthearted and fun as the blonde laughed behind her final bite of her cinnamon roll. “That’s crazy!” It was wonderful to sit and enjoy stories from him; this was something she felt like she could get used to despite that fact that it was kind of against the rules to share too much, but it was her. She was an experienced fighter and was probably one of the few people he wouldn’t get in trouble for sharing stories with. 

While he started to ask her a question she took his plate and put it on hers. However he stopped as if processes new information and she stopped in her movement as well. What was going on? Not breaking her gaze from him she held incredibly still in case someone or something was coming. Airi was finally able to breathe when he explained the situation. Sure it wasn’t exactly what she wanted to hear but it wasn’t something bad. “Ah.” Was her response when he said that Gai was on his way. That was something she didn’t exactly want to deal with and the ‘Ah’ came with hints of sadness, annoyance and a lack of excitement to hear someone was on their way to them. Obviously this was not news she was hoping for. Dang it Naruto.

Taking the plates she got to her feet and started towards the sink to wash and set out his plates to dry. However she stopped mid-step hearing the words leave Kakashi’s mouth.

The plates hit the ground breaking into three pieces each, pure shock ran through her body and she lost control of her grip and the plates paid the price. Did… did she hear him right? No way… no way that’s just her mind playing tricks on her. Ignoring the fact that she just broke two of his plates, she turned slowly to face him. The look on her face was a mix of disbelief and excitement, “What… what did you say?” Her voice was soft, confused but hopeful and sounded breathless like she had just be surprised and once again, she held her breath as she awaited confirmation that what she heard was real.
