we got to get right back to where we started from

Where: Hokage Tower, Obito's office.
When: Dec 20th.
Notes: ~~possibly NSFW. Can't be sure yet.~~ Nah, looked like it's definitely NSFW. They're going there.

Gai had been working on his resolutions, first in anticipation of what to write to his father on the lantern, and now in preparation of the New Year. Usually, most of Gai's resolutions were focused solely on himself, and nearly all of them were things he had control over the outcome, but sometimes...sometimes they were things he required another person for.

☐ Be a better boyfriend.

To be honest, he wasn't sure how to be that, but he was definitely going to try. His resolution list in his notebook at home included self-suggestions on how to improve:

• invest in more time with them
• ~~behave~~ do not intrude on matters that do not concern you (they do not all concern you)
• be more affectionate
• say 'I love you' more often
• hold their hands
• strive to learn something new about them each time you see them
• more challenges
• be nicer to ~~Yamato~~ their friends
• take them out on dates/excusions/lunches
• renew kissing practice?

And it was that last one that had Gai here now, because while the ball was in his court for most of the others, kissing practice was something Obito had to want again too. They hadn't exactly done much of that since becoming boyfriends and he felt a little selfish wanting that back so badly. After all, kissing was not all he saw in Obito and he did not want his friend to think that was all he was here for, but...

He missed it. Kissing Obito had been like challenging Kakashi: a perfect excuse for being together. And kissing Obito had been really, really wonderful, too. He made Gai's heart flutter with excitement, took his breath away--

Surely Obito, who liked kissing people and flirting with people and all of that, would want kissing practice back, right? That was what he hoped, at least.

Gai knocked on the door to Obito's office and then peeked in. "Hokage-sama! When you are not busy, may I speak to you about something personal?"

He stared up at him for a moment, and a smile touched his lips before he dug around for a napkin or something to wipe himself off with. "It's definitely not because of this performance, that's for sure."

The smile turned to a wry grin, and he peeked back up at him again as he finally found something that would work. "It wouldn't be farfetched to think the sentiment might be returned though."

"Your...performance was very endearing!" And though Gai had no intention of admitting it out loud, he probably would not have fared any better in his own performance. That was for discovering at another time, though. "But no, it is not for that that say it."

"Really?" Gai cheeks were deep red at the second comment and fussed around, looking for where his vest went and for something in the pockets to wipe his own hands with. "I am glad."

He made sure that the spent napkin was shoved deep into his trash, then set about righting his clothing, his flush slowly easing, but not by much, only now acutely remembering the ANBU that were nearby.

Why had he not considered them before??

"I woudn't joke about that so... yeah."

"Thank you." His eyes sparkled with almost-tears.

Gai wiped his fingers, thoroughly, since he didn't want to leave a mess on the Hokage's papers, then slipped on his vest as he looked down at the scattered paperwork. Obito's embarrassment might have been settling, but Gai's was starting to set in. What did one do now? Make more promises and declarations, if you were Gai.

"Next time, I shall do this right! I shall take you out for dinner and dessert and we shall take it slowly and I promise you will enjoy it!" He picked up a few sheets of paper, setting them on the desk. "It will be the best date you have ever been on!"

"Hey now, I enjoyed it a little too much if that was any indication." He was peering up at him as he smoothed cloth down though.

"Doesn't mean I won't take you up on it."

He grinned like a fool, still blushing and giving a little tug at his collar. Gai barely refrained from sweeping over there and kissing Obito again. "There is no such thing as 'too much' enjoyment. In fact! You could use more enjoyment in your life, my beloved Hokage-sama." And Gai meant that more innocently than it came out, given the circumstances.

He went back to bending over and retrieving the paperwork, along with a few odds and ends of other spilled desk essentials.

He flushed at the statement, then glanced to see if he could get up without running over any papers himself... before his gaze drifted to Gai.

There was still a sense of heavy warmth in his limbs when he got up, righting what he could of the things that remained on his desk. It had been a surprise, and vividly intense... but perhaps better for the shortness given that he knew for a fact they hadn't locked the door in any way.

It was enough to finally have him blinking away his sharingan at least.

Gai hadn't even thought of the door. It was one thing to get up to things in front of Obito's ever-present guards, but another to be walked in on!

He went to put a paper down and Obito was there fixing things! That was hardly fair. Gai had a self-challenge to fulfill! He swatted at Obito's hands. "Gah! Obito! You do not need to help! I made the mess, I shall clean it up, remember? Half the time! I promised! Do not make me make you stop!"

"Hey! I'm not touching anything on the floor here." He sank back in his chair though, aware of how pointless if could be to argue with Gai. He'd just have to peer at Gai instead.

It wasn't like it was a bad view.

Gai scowled at him. Floor or not, it was in clear violation of Gai's unspoken rules for the task. Obito was to sit back and do nothing! Once he was satisfied Obito was relaxing out of the way, Gai resumed work.

...There were a lot more papers than Gai remembered being on that desk... But they would be sorted in half an hour! Or else! He would need a self-punishment. Maybe helping with sorting paperwork for a day to improve his paperwork skills. ...No. He would get this sorted in half an hour as planned. No more paperwork duty...

Gai wasn't sure what he expected Obito to do while waiting, considering all his intended work was still on the floor, but he hadn't expected to be watched. That was different.

Watched very intently at that. He hadn't had all that many occasions to just sit back and stare at Gai over the years. Some, sure, but it felt different now, than it had before. Now there was some underlying sense that he totally was within hos rights to do so and appreciate and it was... nice.

And the only thing Gai apparently was going to let him do at the moment anyway.

Being watched was something Gai was used to. He was stared at a lot for his weirdness, but whenever Obito watched him, Gai felt proud, pleased and now, he was discovering, desirable. Even if Obito was just watching for the sake of watching, it gave Gai a rush he wasn't used to. And maybe he took a little longer with his task than actually necessary, but only because he enjoyed those eyes on him.

He noticed the slowing of Gai's motions, and a slow, knowing smile touched his lips. In a way, it was a little like passively showing off, and there was something rather complimentary about that. He liked that Gai wanted to do such a thing for him, after all.

Even allowing for a bit of a show, Gai still had a self-challenge. Eventually he had gathered all the papers and, standing at the desk, humming to himself, he set to work sorting them back into the stacks Obito had them in before. Every so often he would glance up from his work and just smile at Obito. How he got so lucky as to have such a handsome boyfriend, Gai was still wondering.

He watched hm work, thoughtful and amused, and just chuckled to himself. "You look to be rather enjoying yourself in that task."

"I enjoy it for what it stands for! And I would gladly make a thousand such messes to clean up if it meant touching you and kissing you like that again!"

He blinked, a flush coming to him, though far fainter than earlier. "Oh. Well. I suppose I can't argue that kind of thought now can I?"

He beamed. "Of course not!" Gai looked at one of the papers in his hand for a moment, unable to determine what to sort it as, then held it across the desk to Obito. "Where does this one belong?"

He leaned forward enough to look the paper over, then pointed to one of the piles. "It has two other pieces."

Gai gave a frustrated snort and searched through the stack in his hand, then the stack on the desk, to put together the three pages. It took a bit of back and forth to find the set. "I do not know how you do this all day," he admitted, brow knitted into a frown as he looked down at the papers.

"Usually by not dumping them all on the floor. That usually helps loads." He laughed, grinning at him. Gai was cute when he flustered.

He pouted and flailed a little, slightly disrupting his piles of paper. "Hmph! Sometimes it helps to rearrange things!"

His grin only grew. "And that's the best way mm?"

"I was giving you new perspective on it! So yes! Perhaps it will help you work more efficiently! Or at least with more passion." He eyed Obito. "I do think you enjoy my methods, unconventional as they are."

"If I work with more passion in here I think that might leave you a bit deprived everywhere else, don't you?"
