what a drag. only some months after the war & the shinobi forces were already opened up for missions. who knew they could make life so difficult.
he was assigned to carry some delicate intelligence to the kumogakure, paired with temari from the hidden sand. oh man -- of all the people to get stuck with, they just happened to pick her. and judging by the smirk on kakashi’s face, the pairing might not have been so random either. whatever.
❛ i think this hot spring’s nice enough to stay in. ❜ they finally settled on a destination to spend the night. frankly, he was nervous, this being the first time he’d traveled outside of konoha for an indefinite amount of time. he wasn’t used to staying anywhere else, much less with temari. he wasn’t even sure they could afford separate rooms. ❛ you still have the file for the raikage on you, right? make sure to keep that thing secure. ❜
❛ before we go inside, i need a cigarette. no way i’m holding off for another hour. ❜ flicking a cigarette from its pack, he placed the bud to his mouth, starting it with his departed sensei’s lighter. he always had to get the damn thing fixed, using it too much in nervous ticks. the nicotine soothed his headache, comfort returning to him, albeit temporarily. ❛ if we’re forced to get a room together, i’ll make sure to smoke outside the window. ❜ he cooed monotonously.
@windcontrol gets a plotted starter !!
