Hi all! I was just scrolling through Tumblr and I saw the most gorgeous piece of KakaSaku fan art that was inspired by Gilmore Girls. A huge guilty pleasure of mine. So, I decided to go ahead and write a fanfic to accompany the picture! Just to note, yes in Gilmore Girls Lorelai has Rory and I wanted to include Sarada however for such a short fic I wanted to focus on Kakashi and Sakura's dynamic. If I do continue with this plot, Sarada will definitely make appearances.

A huge thanks to raizagabriel on tumblr for the inspiration, I truly hope this small fic is just right for you! If there's any interest in this one-shot I may consider making it longer.

Happy Reading! xo

Sakura always loved the transition from fall to winter. It meant that in their small town in the middle of nowhere would suddenly be covered in christmas lights, and they'd have their annual christmas festival. Not to mention once the first snow fell they'd have the snowman building contest which her and Ino would ultimately attempt before heading to Hatake's for hot cocoa or coffee.

Coffee.

That one thought had the pink haired woman practically floating towards the familiar diner. It was always hard to miss Sakura what with her shoulder length petal pink locks and her bright emerald green eyes the size of saucers. It was definitely always hard to miss her when she was on a mission and heading to the building she frequented most in the town. The bell jingled as she opened the door to her favorite morning stop, seeing the other usuals in their spots at the pushed together tables and mix-matched leather and metal chairs.

Pulling off her white knit beanie Sakura patted down the slightly disheveled strands of hair before sauntering up to the counter, a purely Cheshire cat-like grin spreading across her face. Taking a moment to look around for her victim, the pinkette stuffed her beanie in her coat pocket.

"Oh Kakashi!" Sakura practically sang, unable to control her giggle at the slightly annoyed groan that could be heard from the back. Rounding the corner, Sakura felt her heart flutter for just a second. Kakashi, owner of Hatake's Diner and long time friend, leveled her with an un-amused look from two dark kohl colored eyes. Her grin never faltered as he leaned against the counter in front of her, looking down at her with his lips turned down into a frown and muscled arms crossed over his chest. He looked like he normally did dressed in work boots, worn jeans, and a black and grey flannel rolled up to show his all too attractive forearms. But something about him today just…...

Down girl.

"No."

"Oh C'mon!"

"You have a problem."

"I wholly beg to differ my friend."

"How many cups Sakura?"

The woman answered without missing a beat.

"Zero." Kakashi was obviously disbelieving, a silver eyebrow raised over that delicious scar that Sakura always felt her fingers itching to touch.

"Plus?"

Sakura paused, green eyes wide and innocent before sighing and letting out a groan.

"Five….but Kakashi your coffee is so much better than mine!" The silver haired, flannel wearing man stared at her for a moment before sighing, taking a pale blue mug from the shelf and filling it with coffee. Sakura's grin was as bright as the sun as she took it and inhaled the beautiful rich heavenly aroma of coffee.

"Junkie," Kakashi muttered, taking off the blue baseball cap and shaking his wild silver mane before placing his cap back on his head backwards. Never had a man looked so good in a baseball hat, Sakura thought to herself as she fluttered her lashes over the rim of her mug, swallowing the first sip.

"You're an angel, you've got wings baby." Turning on her heels she sauntered over to her usual table beside the large window overlooking the center of town, completely missing the fond smirk that spread across Kakashi's face. Shrugging her bright red coat off she pushed up the sleeves of her green sweater up and pulled out her medical school text book from her oversized tote bag.

Sakura easily lost track of time when studying, the world of medicine always seemed to draw her in and keep all of her focus. She hadn't even noticed when the sun reached it's peak over their small town and the morning crowed melted into the lunch crowd. Sakura only blinked as she noticed a scarred hand drift into her line of sight. Jerking back she looked up, eyes meeting Kakashi's as he poured her another cup of coffee.

She grinned at him cheekily, placing her hand under her chin as she stared at him.

"So….you've given in to my addiction hm?" Kakashi gave her a grin, one that flashed his perfect smile and slightly sharper than normal canines. One that made his chiseled jaw look even more perfect. With one hand in his pocket and the other still holding the coffee pot, the tall man bent at the waist and inhaled briefly.

"For now. I'll curb your addiction one way or another Haruno." Sakura felt a shiver run down her spine at the way his deep voice turned just a little huskier and those impossibly attractive eyes darkened. Licking her soft pink lips, and noting the way those eyes flashed down to her mouth before darkening even more, Sakura's smile wavered.

"It's been a love affair that's spanned years Kakashi, I don't know how you think you can measure up to that level of passion." Sakura knew she was playing a dangerous game now, but instead of commenting further, he just grinned wolfishly at her and leaned away. That grin held more than just their normal friendly back and forth, it held a promise. Slightly disappointed he hadn't flirted with her longer, Sakura picked up her now full mug and took a sip and moaned in relief.

"Careful. Keep moaning like that and I'll be forced to close up the diner and show you just how much more passionate I am than a cup of coffee." She sputtered almost choking on her second sip of coffee before swallowing it and the second moan she was about to let lose. Her cheeks flushed a brilliant red color, and felt all her usual confidence slip right out the door right behind the towns resident bottle of sunshine, Lee.

Kakashi's chuckle brought her eyes back towards him. Sakura looked anywhere but his own searing eyes, that she could just feel boring into her.

"You're the real life Patrick to my Kat, Hatake," Sakura said with a small laugh and a shake of her head. He blinked, not understanding her movie reference. She rolled her eyes and waved her hand in dismissal, taking in a breath before sighing.

"Get you anything to eat Haruno?" He asked, taking his hand out of his pocket so he could use it to lean on the table. Sakura struggled not to glance at the red swirling tattoo on his forearm, but her willpower vanished completely. Briefly, she wondered what reaction she'd get if she used her nail to trace out the design.

"Something all together too greasy and fattening. A burger...ooh and fries please" His lips twisted in disgust before shaking his head and leaning up again.

"Your diet is abhorrent. I need to start sneaking you vegetables." Sakura's nose wrinkled in disgust.

"You dare put any sort of vegetables on my burger Hatake and I'll knock you into next week."

"Just pick them off."

"No! It'll still have the essence of them on it."

"What?" This wasn't the most absurd argument he'd had with the pink haired woman but it was slowly climbing up there on the list.

"You know...the essence. The juice. Like when you cut a tomato and put it on something it always leaves that slimy icky yucky juice behind!" Kakashi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Fine no vegetables." Sakura grinned in triumph and winked at him.

"I knew you were my favorite." Kakashi flashed a wry grin at her before turning around and heading back into the kitchen as pair of unapologetic viridian eyes watched his truly wonderful backside the entire time. Humming to herself Sakura turned to look out the window, seeing pedestrians and tourists of their little town walking around bundled up in coats and scarves. She smiled softly, knowing that she was warm and had been thoroughly bantered/flirted with, and was more than a little content.
