Gaming afternoon

A small grin. "Nah, I'll just buy a new one."

... Yeah well, he did have the money for it.

"... And I... Uhm. Like, y'know, giving stuff to my... Friends." A careful smile Minato's way. "I, I mean, y'know... I've... Got so much, and, other's don't, so, Iuhm. Might as well share so that everybody gets something. And such."

"Yeah. Yeah, sure. Thanks. I'll.. I'll return the favour, sometime. Thanks." He hated owing people. But he kinda understood that whole wanting to do something for others thing. Minato smiled kindly at Kakashi.

Aand abruptly he had to look away, as he felt the heat of another blush in his cheeks.

...noticed.
Uhm. Damn. This was awkward...
Minato just stared at his screen again.

"Iah. Like I said. Don't mention it. It's... 'Cause I want to."

"Yeah. Yeah, it's ok. Yeah."
And he knew just why Kakashi wanted to. Damn.

A small cough. "So. Up for another round with the guys?"

Minato's mind decided to take a screaming turn for the gutter just then, which rendered him momentarily unable to speak.

As soon as he noticed, he waved a hand in front of him. "Earth to Minato?"

"I'm not gaaahggI mean - I'm kinda thirsty! Yeah! I'm, just getting some juice first. Then, sure!!" He turned the smile way up to make sure his dimples were showing this time.

... Oh shit. That was just... Too damn cute, and he couldn't look away, even when he felt the heat in his cheeks blossom once more.

This was probably.. kinda douchebaggy of him, but Minato held the smile just a little longer before veeeeerryyyy casually pouring himself some juice.
Way down deep inside, a small inner voice gave an evil cackle.

A slight cough and he finally returned his attention to the screen. Forcing down a.. certain reaction to that smile. Goddamnit.

Despite his very heterosexual heterosexuality, Minato couldn't suppress some small joy that he seemed to finally have a weapon against Kakashi.

"Souhm. de office, next?" André was apparently back from his small break. "Uhm, ah, yeah, fine by me," Kakashi answered, casting second-short glances Minato's way ever so often.

"Yeah, fine," Minato hurried to say. He felt those glances clearly. Very clearly.

Aand writhing a little in his seat before he turned up the volume of the headphones again as they entered the game again, this time as the terrorists.

"Uhm, guys, what's the terrorist tactics?" Minato asked, figuring he might as well own up to his lack of skillz.

"Well, since we're five, we'll still have a scout out - Kakashi?" Andreé said/asked. "On it," was the short reply from Kakashi, and he was, once again, off barely seconds after start. "And with us others, two to protect each of the two places we have hostages. The scout - Kakashi - will tell us which hostages theyre going for first. Get into dark corners, or just behind doorways, and wait. Better ye t- if you can find a point where you can see most of the hall and still be in cover, use that to snipe. Otherwise shotguns are best on this map." André explained.

Minato quickly scanned the map, which he recognised. "Centre right, in the hall, second floor. 95 degree overview, going there. When they go for the two hostages upper right, I can shift to the terrain to the north and snipe there."

"Cool. I'll stay with the hostages upper right from now on with Gai, ad Tenzou'll guard the others until Kakashi joins him. You just snipe whenever you have the possibility. I'm choosing the Colt here. Helps to have real field practice with it," André grinned. "Means that even in the game I know how to use it to its full potential."

"Yeah, I'll do that," Minato just obeyed orders, unconsciously crossing his legs at the thought of what Kushina's very millitary big brother might do to him if he knew about the current mess. Then again, he might just not care..

A small while later, they won, again, though the antiterrorists managed to free half the hostages before they could claim their victory. Kakashi died in the process, though, when he'd rounded a corner and Rin sniped him.

And Minato got to snipe a couple of guys, which he counted as a plus.

"You're really good with that sniping rifle," Kakashi commented, taking a sip of his juice.
