♫ It's the moooost wonderful tiiiime of the yeeeeear ♫ [Private, English, Kakashi's apartment Warning for supreme awkwardness and possible chocolate milk.]

"Three months... In half a year..." That was a little scary. Ok. Very scary.

Another sniffle, a nod. "Yeah... Somehow... Doesn't seem as scary when you're here."

"Same..." He kissed her hair again. "I was freaking out at home. Nearly told my Dad. Then when I saw you again... Things just got ok."

A small nod, and she laid her head on his chest, sighing happily. "Everything's okay as long as you're around."

"Mmmm... We'll deal..." He pulled the blankets over them and turned off the bedlamp. "Sleep. You tired me out today," he grinned. After a pause: "Is that how much you wanna... do it... Every day?"

"Uhm... Maybe." a very awkward grin. "Sorry. I'm not usually that demanding. Must be the hormones and everything."

"Don't be sorry... I like it, remember?" It was easier to talk about those things here in the dark. "I ah. That guy Kakashi brought home. He.. Kinda looked like... Me. Didn't he?"

A slight blush, small nod. ".... Yeah." she muttered, scratched her neck a little. "He did."

Why that tone in her voice? "That's. Um. Really creepy."

"... Guess so."

Goddamnit brain. Quit changing Jake's face with Minato's. Especially when replaying the whole french kiss and touching thing. And imagining when they.... No, stop that.

"Er. Kushina.You sound really weird." It was making him nervous. she could probably tell.

"Uhm. Sorry. Guess I spaced out." she shook her head, gave an awkward grin. Trying hard to ignore her very enthusiastic imagination.

"...okay..." Why would she space out when he asked her that? Why!? "Um. So yeah. Goodnight."

"... Yeah. 'Night." closing her eyes, ready to sleep -

Just then, another bout of moans. Apparently, the guys had started a second round.

Oh god why. Should he say something? Did she think it was hot to listen to? Did she think that he thought it was hot to listen to? Sorry, kid, he thought. You have two very messed up parents.

Another blush, trying to ignore it, simply muttering another ''Night.', almost carefully curling up next to him, whatwith all that'd happened the past... What. Half an hour, only? 45 minutes, tops?

Try twenty minutes. It felt like several days.
...nope, nowhere near sound-proof. He'd never get any sleep while that went on. Oh well.
Trying to pretend nothing was wrong, he laid a careful arm around Kushina.

Still trying to fall asleep here. Not working when you could hear the bed in the other room slamming into the wall from time to time.

When Minato finally could no longer stand it, he coughed nervously and said. "Soah. He does that often? Brings home groupies?"

"Whenever they've had a gig, yup." she put it shortly, blushing like mad in the darkness.

"...not when he... was with you?" If Kakashi had, Minato might have to... to.. probably do nothing about it. Sigh.

She shook her head. "Never. He's faithful, no matter what others might think."

Ouch. "I didn't think anything. That's why I asked," he said, rather defensively.

She shrugged. "'Tis why he broke up with me. He didn't want to cheat on me, and he knew himself well enough to know he couldn't stay together with just one, so... Yeah." she sighed, but still, she smiled.

"I... guess.. that's okay of him.. Although... Anyone who's got you and won't stay together with you... Is a bit of an idiot."
