Kakashi stood in the bare living room of Naruto's cheap apartment. It was the middle of the night and the hanging light bulb barely managed to light the small room, flickering before it gave a small 'pop' and submerging the two figures into darkness.

"Uhh, you need a new light bulb..."

Kakashi didn't receive a reply so instead he took off his Hound mask and chucked it on to the nearby sofa; it wasn't like he needed it anymore.

"So, uh-"

"Why did you do it?"

Kakashi pondered the question, he'd done a lot of things to Naruto, he assumed he was referring to why he left him in the first place but for all Kakashi knew Naruto might not even have his memories back.

"Could you be more specific?"

"Why did you leave me? You knew I loved you and you knew I was scared that you'd not want me anymore," it sounded like Naruto was trying his best to keep himself together.

"I did it because..." Looking back now Kakashi could hardly believe he agreed to do it in the first place, he realized now that Naruto came before everything else; Naruto was the most important thing in his life, if he could go back in time now he'd give the village up in a heartbeat for Naruto. "I did it because I was an idiot. Tsunade had made an agreement with another clan; she was adamant that they partner up with the village, so in turn she agreed that one of her shinobi would marry one of the leaders daughters. She picked me at their request and of course the council decided they'd like to get involved so.." Kakashi sighed, clenching his fists in anger at the mere thought of the memory. "They made it compulsory that I marry Aya and raise a child within the first two years of our marriage. Apart from that never worked out.

At the time I believed that I was doing it for your happiness, so that you could live a life where you found love with someone your own age, so you wouldn't have to constantly feel like I was pushing you away or too ashamed to tell anyone about us. I thought that if I made you forget, then things would sort themselves out, I would be safe in the assumption that I would be able to keep my rank and not be exiled from the village but in doing that I'd suffer while you wouldn't have any memory of what had happened between us. To see you happy was all I ever wanted and I pushed you away because I didn't deserve you."

Kakashi heard footsteps cross the room and then a flip of a switch to turn the small lamp in the corner on. Naruto stood with is back to Kakashi; he had yet to say anything and it was nerve racking. Could the blond forgive him?

"You had no right to decide what would or wouldn't make me happy," Naruto whispered. "You made me happy...we deserved each other."

Kakashi felt ashamed of his action, he wished he could go back in time and change things but he knew that that was not a possibility, he had to try his best to mend that gap between the two of them now.

Naruto turned around to face Kakashi, tears in his eyes. "Did you ever love me? Why did you avoid me? For so long I felt more for you than I thought I should, I felt ashamed and disgusted with myself...I was confused so I never told you, it was never a possibility to tell you how I truly felt and yet you knew all a long, you knew what had happened between us!"

Kakashi pressed his palms over his eyes, he was trying to keep himself calm. How could he have been so stupid? He should have known that even though Naruto couldn't remember, the feelings still remained; how could the kid explain that to himself, let alone to his own sensei?

"And yet you just stood by and watched...watched me, get closer to Sasuke, and you didn't even-!" Naruto's voice cracked, finally the hurt he felt inside was too much and the tears broke free. He sobbed. His body racking from the force of his emotions.

Kakashi reached out hesitantly and took Naruto by the arm to pull him close in a hug. Wrapping the shivering boy in a tight embrace, he kissed his head in a comforting manor as Naruto bawled into the jounin's shirt.

"I'm sorry I hurt you, please believe me when I say that it wasn't my intention to do so. Of course I loved you, I never stopped and I never will, I was selfish and what I did to you is unforgivable but I want you to know that you alone own my heart Naruto," he took the blonds face in his hands, raising the boy's head slightly to look him dead in the eye. "Nothing else matters to me but you, I live for you, when I'm apart from you it's like I can't breath. You're my air Naruto, without you I can't live and I may as well not because life would be pointless. It would be bleak and I know this already because that's the life I've been living for the past two years."

Kakashi kissed Naruto lightly, lovingly on the lips. "I'm sorry," He kissed him again. "I'm so, so, so, so sorry."

Naruto's chest is raising and falling with heavy breaths now, staring at the man in front of him with tears in his eyes. His lips parting, like he has so many things to say, to explain but can't find the words, not now, not here, not when the man, he too, lived for was stood in front of him, as real as anything. The blond was the one who initiated it, pressing his lips ferociously against Kakashi's in a heated kiss.

Two strides forward and Kakashi has Naruto up against the wall, his orange jacket unzipped and halfway down his arms. The jounin, ravishing Naruto's jawline, his neck, his shoulder, and suddenly there is a knee pressed between the blonds thighs and Naruto audibly moans, failing to bite back the most erotic noises Kakashi had heard in a long time.

Naruto is trembling against Kakashi, his fingers skimming over the smooth planes of the ANBU armour, attempting to remove the layers of fabric keeping them from the blissful friction that they both sought. In Naruto's desperate haste to strip both of them, Kakashi couldn't help but wonder how long Naruto had wanted this, or rather needed this. Probably as much as the jounin himself.

Groaning in what sounded like part desperation and part frustration, Naruto's fiery, lust-filled eyes met Kakashi's equally heat fueled gaze. Stepping back, Kakashi slowly pulls Naruto through the hallway, unclipping the armour on the way, heavy thuds mingling with the sound of their heavy breathing as the metal hits the wooden floor.

Naruto is now sprawled on the bed, still fully clothed sans the jacket, wimpering from the lack of contact. Kakashi's gaze lingered over the blond, hardly able to believe that this was happening; he'd missed this so much. The mans clothes are quickly disposed of by Naruto's frantic, trembling hands, his hips jerking against the man on top of him. Kakashi shudders at the friction, heat undulating in his belly as he grinds back down against Naruto, nipping at the tender flesh of the blonds throat.

The silver haired man makes slow work of removing Naruto's garments, fingers trailing down rough fabric, caressing tender flesh with his finger tips as he slips Naruto's T-shirt up and over his head. Both are panting now, the younger no longer trying to hold back his moans as Kakashi pulls the boys boxers down, exposing his sensitive cock to the cool air.

And then there is no cloth, no barrier between them and their bodies are against each other, the heat between them so intense it felt like forever since either of them had had anything like this. Slow, sensual kisses and firm thrusts, whispered names and heavy breathing, loving caresses, desperate groping and both were in bliss.

The night went quicker than either of them had liked, both knowing that the older of the two would be leaving at dawn. Rolling off of Naruto, panting heavily, Kakashi thought back to the conversation they'd had a few hours before, frowning. He wished he'd never requested to leave the village now, as he peeked over at the sleeping blond next to him. The light of the alarm clock on Naruto's bed side table flashed 5:07am in big red numbers. Kakashi sighed, he had to start getting ready in an hour.

"I don't want you to go," a quiet mumble from the usually loud, obnoxious blond. Kakashi pulled him close, Naruto resting his head on the jounin's chest.

"I know, neither do I."

The two lay in silence for the next few minutes, basking in each others mere presence, everything at peace for the first time in what felt like forever. Frowning, something occurred to Kakashi; he hadn't actually asked how Naruto had managed to regain his memories.

"Uh, Naruto?"

"Mmmm?" The blond hummed, snuggling closer to Kakashi.

"How did you manage to regain your memories? I'm pretty sure only people with the Shar-" Kakashi wanted to facepalm, of course..."Sasuke..."

Naruto chuckled. "Yeahh it was kind of an accident actually, you see, Sasuke had me up against the wall and-"

"Naruto! I uh, I actually really don't want to know!"

Naruto laughed out loud, leaning over to give the other a kiss as an apology.

"How did you know it was me when I was Hound? I made sure that my identity was well hidden, I mean...How?" Kakashi shook his head in confusion.

Naruto shrugged.

"Hinata."

Two figures walked down the sunny street of Sunagakure, hand in hand, one speaking enthusiastically, bouncing about and pointing in various directions in excitement and the other, book in hand, chuckling at the sunny blond.

Life was good.

A/N: So...finally finished, I literally couldn't decide how I wanted to end this fic, I literally had three potential endings to this! I'm sorry this chapter took longer to post but I've been so busy lately and I'm really sorry if it didn't meet everyone's expectations, I've probably missed some things out so if anyone has any questions I'm more than happy to answer them. Regarding the 'sex scene', I didn't really feel like making it TOO explicit so I also apologize to the people who were expecting a lot more!

Thanks for reading!

Also, GUYS...KAKASHI'S FACE REVEAL THOUGH!
