Rated: T (subject to change)

Summary: Okay this is where I draw the line! Yes, maybe I have let it go on a little too far, but this, this is getting out of line. Yes, I've harbored some sort of affection for the blond but...this isn't right, I mean sensei/student relationships are frowned upon, if not illegal!

Okay this is where I draw the line! Yes, maybe I have let it go on a little too far, but this, this is getting out of line. Yes, I've harbored some sort of affection for the blond but...this isn't right, I mean sensei/student relationships are frowned upon, if not illegal! He growled lowly, before pulling away from those soft lips that captured his heart, and pried his hands away from his shoulders, his heart was racing, it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest. He looked into those pleading azure eyes, he had to stop this nonsense, even if it hurts Naruto, even if it hurts him. They were panting softly, staring at eachother's eyes looking for some sort of emotion. Naruto closed his eyes, the feeling was indescribable, it felt right. He swooped in for another kiss, only to be stopped by Kakashi's hand. Naruto opened his eyes and stared deep into his eyes, the feeling of rejection hanging thick on his heart. "N-Naruto, we can't do this," Was the excuse that left Kakashi's lips. "It's not right...w-we can't, no matter how much I do w-want to." Kakashi slowly put his hand down, to see Naruto's quivering lip.

"K-Kakashi-sensei," Naruto sniffed; Kakashi looked to the ground, avoiding Naruto's tear-filled gaze. "NO!" Kakashi looked up, "No, sensei, I love you! I can't let you go!" He shook his head furiously, clinging on to Kakashi's jounin vest. Kakashi let out a shuddering sigh, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to slide down his face as he again pried Naruto's calloused fingers off from him.

"You're going to have to," He answered, trying to be as gentle as he can as he stood up. Naruto was shaking, as tears embellished his whiskered cheeks and he grabbed Kakashi's pant leg, looking up.

"D-Does Kakashi-sensei not love me?" Kakashi looked down to the crying boy, his heart clencted at the sight. His once sparkling blue eyes now dulled to a dark blue, tears filled the brim of his eyes and cascaded down his face.

"Naruto,"

"Answer the question," Naruto said more sternly, rage bubbling inside of him. Kakashi bent down to Naruto's level and put a hand to his whiskered cheek.

"Naruto, I'm going to draw the line, we are never going to see eachother, out of team meetings, no ramen treats unless Sakura and Sasuke, I won't treat you and differently than the others, I'm sorry,"

"You didn't answer," Naruto whimpered, Kakashi gently kissed Naruto's forehead before pulling his mask back on.

"I love you Naruto. Just not in that way," Liar, A voice in his head contridicted. He patted Naruto's mass of blonde hair before walking away.

I'm sorry Naruto, I don't think it's going to work out.
