Rating: G

Warnings: Work safe, fluff.

Characters: Kakashi, Obito, Rin, Minato

"Your late!" Minato shrunk back a bit under Obito and Rin's stern glares.

"I'm sorry it took so long. Paperwork is never ending these days." Minato smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck, "I see you've ordered. But...uh...where's Kakashi?" he glanced around, concerned the young Hatake had skipped out yet again.

"He's around." Obito barely stifled the giggle and Rin elbowed him in the ribs.

"Should I be concerned?" Minato asked warily and the two conspirators started sucking their straws, obviously avoiding the question. Conspirators because he knew that look. The 'I'm completely innocent' look that he knew so well, "What did you do to him?"

"SENSEI! Haveyoueverhadespressobefore? Ihave. Didyouknowthatitcanbemixedintoallsortsofdrinkslikemocha'sandshakesandIbetyoucanevenputitinyourtea. Wanttotryone?

The pint sized chunin climbed as he rambled, Minato's hands and eyes trying to follow the hyperactive youth. Onto his back, over his shoulder, hanging from his arms, from his neck, under the coat. It was a whirlwind of chatter and Minato was having trouble keeping up but he did manage to pick a few words out the never ending sentence. Espresso.

"You gave him espresso? Straight espresso? Are you both crazy?" he shouted over Kakashi's onslaught of questions and comments.

Obito smiled, "I like him better this way."

Rin snorted, inhaling her iced mocha.

Minato continued to snatch one weapon after another out Kakashi's determined hands.

One week later....

"How's your headache Kashi-kun?" Minato ran an affectionate hand through silver locks, earning a death glare from the boy he knew so well.

"Im fine sensei." Kakashi gritted his teeth, but withheld the urge to swat the hand away and turned his gaze back to his two teammates instead. He felt a deep satisfaction at seeing them quarreling and swaying, dangling from the Sandaime's stone nose like two little wiggly snots, attempting to wash bird poop from the monument.

"That's good. I'm glad your feeling better. Because I think we should have a little talk. You know, about your...caffeine induced confession."

Kakashi stiffened.

He hadn't remembered much about the little fiasco in the coffee shop, just bits and pieces like peeing in the bushes and trying to get sensei to spar with him but his weapons kept disappearing. He still hadn't figured that part out. But there was one memory that stood out embarrassingly clear in his mind and apparently the man wasn't going to just let it go and pretend that it never happened. Which he wished with all his heart because he really was afraid to hear what the man thought of his sloppy kiss and blunt "I love you!"

He took a deep breath and slumped, "What about it?"

"Nothing. Just....you kiss like a girl." Minato smiled, ruffling silver spikes before darting away.

"DO NOT!" Kakashi shouted, jumping to his feet and chasing after the childish blonde.
