[Closed] We have to stop meeting like this.

 

Who: Tenzou and Kakashi

When: July 14th

Where: Entrance to Hokage Tower

What: Tenzou encounters Kakashi for the first time since his reassignment. Names and roles are questioned.


The novelty of filing paperwork in the daylight hours had still to wear off and Tenzou smiled softly to himself as he meandered back to the towers exit. A good majority of his life had just been filed for the archives and his ANBU status changed from ‘active’ to ‘request only’, his fate as a mentor and regular shinobi finally sealed.

Lord Obito had been incredibly persuasive in his argument and if he was honest with himself, Tenzou was simply glad that his reassignment was due to his competence rather than failing.

His musing continued as he made his way out into the tower courtyard; idle thoughts of lunch and a possible trip to the library, the only other thoughts that encroached his mind.

 

scarecrowboy: (Reading and enjoying it.)

Exempt from missions for the day in order to recover from his previous one Kakashi had spent his morning lazing around the village, basking in his sheer lack of responsibility. It was a rare feeling and one that he cherished... so the grim reminder of the mission report tucked away in the pocket of his uniform when he went to clean his clothes came entirely unwelcome.

Nevertheless there he was making his way in a perfect facade of an aimless wander toward Hokage tower to hand in his missive. It was a pain; The Hokage knew he was alive and well if his visit the morning before was anything to go by, and the mission had been uninteresting and uneventful - was his signature on a slip of paper really necessary?

He sighed, turning a page in his book as he approached the door, stepping out of the way of someone exiting the building with a polite "Excuse me."

At first Kakashi didn't respond, not thinking twice about the moniker as anything that should relate to him. As he moved to climb the stairs, however, he suddenly realised that he was the only other person in the vicinity and turned, eyebrow raised in lazy interest at the call.

He blinked his pale eyes back at the large almond ones surveying him, and a small smile crept onto his face. No-one had eyes like that. Faceplate, dusky hair, uncertain expression. Yep, this was definitely...

"Tenzou," Kakashi greeted with a light laugh at how surreal it seemed to bump into him here of all places. He came close and stretched out his hand, patting the other man on the shoulder. Then, he did a double take. "My god, what in the world are you wearing...?"
scarecrowboy: (Outside plain Kaka)

Kakashi's visible eye disappeared as he smiled, hastily storing his book in his pouch before tucking both hands neatly back into his pockets.

"Don't sweat it, I assure you it gets easier," he nodded knowingly. He remembered his transition from ANBU armor to flak jacket all too well, though somehow he couldn't see Tenzou giving up his role in the same way. From the snippets he'd heard tell Tenzou had been incredibly successful in Kakashi's absence; something he prided himself in given that he was once his captain.

"So what brings you here dressed like that?"
scarecrowboy: (Listening politely)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-27 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Kakashi rose an eyebrow at Tenzou's words.
Transferred... Well, at least he hadn't left for the typical reasons shinobi usually left ANBU - those concerning death or trauma. Kakashi couldn't help but find himself relieved, if still a little uncomfortable to see Tenzou looking so civilized out of his armor, mask and cloak. It endeared Kakashi to see that apparently Tenzou shared his opinion, if the little quirk of his eyebrows was anything to go by. So the transfer was entirely Obito's choice. Interesting.

"Hyuuga, eh?" he muttered. "Impressive. You'll have your work cut out for you."

He wandered back out of the door he'd just entered through, then looked over his shoulder at his old friend.

"Are you hungry?"
scarecrowboy: (Turn away no longer needed)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-27 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
When Tenzou spoke, Kakashi had already turned back around to make his way slowly through the courtyard.

"What takes your fancy?" he called as if he hadn't heard the second part of Tenzou's reply due to being out of earshot, an equally dry and somewhat nostalgic smile tucked away beneath his mask. He slipped his hands into his pockets, silently musing as he waited for the other man to catch up.

It was strange to see Tenzou so.. grown up, he supposed. It had been five years since he'd last seen him, save for a couple of glimpses between, and in that time Tenzou seemed to have morphed into a new man; a professional, mature and completely capable man, a far cry from the young hopeful with a serious case of hero worship.

scarecrowboy: (Let me tell you a thing.)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-27 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
When Tenzou came as expected to meet his side, Kakashi regarded him calmly like they had been walking together all along. In all honesty the copy-nin was relieved to see that not everything had changed - that Tenzou still took his attitude with a pinch of salt after all this time rather than over-reacting and calling him rude like most would, and that beneath the suddenly mature exterior, the tentative boy from his memory still resided, peeking up at him from behind shaggy bangs.

He nodded in response to the request and jerked his chin toward the distance before them where a bright sign emblazoned with yellow flashing bulbs advertised 'Yakiniku Q'.

"How does barbecue sound?" he asked. "It's a good restaurant for a special occasion."
scarecrowboy: (Outside politely waiting)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-27 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi chuckled, leading Tenzou to the entrance and holding off his answer till they were just about at the threshold; keeping him curious like he would with a puppy.

"We haven't seen each other for years," Kakashi finally divulged, giving Tenzou a lazy glance with his visible eye. "And now we're going to be seeing each other much more. Don't you feel a celebration is in order to welcome you to this new chapter of your life, to catch up at least?" he asked as he stopped outside the entrance and turned to give his companion an expectant look, pale eyebrows raised, almost disappearing under his hitai-ate. "It's alright if you don't, I can eat alone."

Kakashi watched and waited patiently, a keen eye trained on Tenzou's face to scrutinize even the slightest reaction. It all seemed like a test where Kakashi would challenge which weaknesses Tenzou still hadn't manage to stifle and use every trick in his arsenal to catch him out. He didn't mean it like that, of course, he was only curious.

The pink speckling that lit on Tenzou's ears caught his attention first, and he smiled under his mask.

"A very long time. Too long, in fact." It was strangely comforting to have Tenzou at his side again. Typically Kakashi would lock thoughts of his past - particularly those of ANBU - away in his head only to emerge when he was feeling particularly pensive. Tenzou was different, though. Despite their entire relationship being built on the foundations that ANBU set in the two of them, their friendship had been something that transcended the job; and he was thankful to find that remained true even now.

He held his arm out, gesturing to the entrance way. "Shall we go in, Tenzou?"
scarecrowboy: (Daydreaming.)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-28 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi moved into the establishment, letting his arm drop. He was courteous enough to offer Tenzou entrance before him, but he wasn't stupid enough to insist. Tenzou's politeness was unrivaled, and in the face of his self-titled senpai, Kakashi couldn't imagine that argument ending too quickly.

He led Tenzou upstairs, obviously well informed on the best places to sit from all the times he'd visited in the past. He picked out a green furnished booth close by a large window that showed the surrounding streets basked in perfect afternoon sun, and slid into one side with ease.

From here there was a faint breeze, and the smell of sizzling meat and charcoal wafted across the restaurant floor from the small cooking grills built into each table. He lifted his chin to better snuffle the air, once lazy expression now alert and interested.

"Something smells good, eh Tenzou?"
scarecrowboy: (Daydreaming.)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-29 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi rested his chin on the back of his hand, glancing along the line of tables framing the room to peek at what the few other patrons present were eating. It was still early, so the restaurant wasn't as full as he'd seen it, but nevertheless he managed to spot the crowd favourite being served toward one of the booths near the back.

"This isn't bad," he commented, peering over the list in Tenzou's hands and jabbing a gloved finger at the meal. "And we'll get sake, hm? It won't be a celebration without it."
scarecrowboy: (Default)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-31 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi settled back in his booth, calm eyes regarding Tenzou with a muted smile tucked away under his mask.

"No?" he shook his head, his voice and visible eye tag-teaming to successfully feign innocence. "What happened, was it fun?"
scarecrowboy: (so tell me what you want to hear)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-31 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi deflated at that, shoulders sagging a little under the harsh coldness of Tenzou's tone.

"Ah, Tenzou, you didn't have to be mean about it..." he almost sulked, not far off looking like a kicked puppy as he flopped his head forward. Earlier he'd been quietly brimming with pride over how far his meek little kouhai had come, but now he was seeing the repercussions in full force. Did he not respect him anymore? Had Kakashi grown so disillusioned that people saw him as soft and old? Would he have to face an enforced retirement soon? He slumped. It was a dark, dark day indeed when even Tenzou lost respect for you.
scarecrowboy: (hmm do i want pork or chicken)

[personal profile] scarecrowboy 2014-08-31 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aaah, Tenzooouuu-" he whined in his own quietly dramatic way, throwing his head to the side to cast a hurt look toward the floor.

He was about to berate his companion with further sulking mumbles when a server appeared, polite and a little awkward, beside their table. He turned to her, his previous dark cloud seeming to dissipate as quickly as it had come, and ordered their respective meals without letting Tenzou get a word in edgeways. He did, however, make sure the smile under his mask was all too obvious when he ordered the sake.

Once the server had left, Kakashi rounded on Tenzou.

"Sorry, what were we talking about?"
