The Year End Party | Dec 31st | [Open to Konoha]

[ninjaindianajones]

Who: Mika and her guests [anyone that shows up tbh]
Where: Rooftop of Mika's apartment complex
Note: Guests are expected to bring a small gift and a refreshment or dish. Food is provided by the host.~


No one can say that Mika was a bad host. She'd gone to great lengths for this party having cooked a ridiculous amount of pastries and ordering several bottles of sake to serve hot on this chilly night. The grill was on high and the meats were all carefully arranged on a table separate from the other foods. Small lanterns were strung up around the tables for ambiance. As the final touches were completed people slowly trickled up to the party. They'd notice the table of sweets first thanks to one of Mika's greatest accomplishments in baking.

A five tiered cake in alternating flavors of vanilla and chocolate! Each layer had a complimentary fruit garnishing it atop a rich ganache frosting. Probably the most decadent cake many would eat that year.

"Mm, I don't know..." he mused, a finger to his lip and his other hand occupied with his book as he noted a few glances flitting his way. The facade was for them, not for Obito. "We have been known to be pretty hopeless. She's the main component of our team, after all."

[thebestuchiha]

He waved a hand through the air as though warding that off. "She's great, you don't have to argue with me about that, but she's not the main part of the team. We get on without her!"

He was totally pouting. Yep. Even at this age, pouting.

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi raised his book to hide his smirk, and nudged Obito in the ribs with a sharp elbow. "I'm teasing you."

[thebestuchiha]

He rubbed at the spot with a huff, but he was smiling. "I hope so or I'd have to be sad."

[scarecrowboy]

"Well we can't have that, hm?" There was the subtlest touch of Kakashi's hand at Obito's back, lingering. "Tonight isn't a night to be sad."

[thebestuchiha]

"Point. I wouldn't want to ruin the night." He flashed him a smile, nudging him back, with his whole side, so it was more of a bodycheck.

[scarecrowboy]

As Obito nudged him, Kakashi's arm landed on his waist, and he saw no immediate reason to move it, so it stayed there.

"Are you planning to stay here all night?" he asked, looking around at the varied faces around them.

[thebestuchiha]

He gave a shake of his head, leaning in against him with a sheepish laugh. "No, I actually kind of just wanted to pop in for a little while, say hi, then get out of here. I didn't mean to get here so early though."

[scarecrowboy]

"Yeah, you surprised everyone with that one. Though I guess it mostly seems like you're over compensating for usually being late..." he chuckled, enjoying the contact from the smaller man. "I only came for Rin's sake, but.. I'm actually enjoying the atmosphere."

[thebestuchiha]

"I was helping someone carry something alright? I just didn't realize the party was their end game." He scoffed and tipped his head against his shoulder to look at him more comfortably. "Not overcompensating for a thing." He gave a little shrug and relaxed. This leaning thing? He liked this.

"But I can linger for a while. How about you, you like it enough to stay a while?"

[scarecrowboy]

"A lucky coincidence, then.." he mumbled, obviously smiling from the way his mask was tugging around his face, and he looked down to meet Obito's comfortable gaze.

"I think so. I'll head home before the fireworks, but there's plenty hours between then and now."

[thebestuchiha]

"Sounds like a plan to me. Definitely gotta stick around to raid the food at the very least, right?" It looked good and he'd heard mention of more stuff coming out when more people arrived after all.

[scarecrowboy]

"Mhm, definitely. I'm starving." It wasn't like he'd intended to skip food today, it had just slipped his mind, and he eyed the platter closest to them with a single hungry eye for a long moment, before turning back to the man in his company.

"...You want to make a start on that now before anyone takes the good stuff?" He asked, not wanting to be rude, after all.

[thebestuchiha]

He laughed and then nodded with a grin, shifting on his feet as he lifted one hand to rest over Kakashi's to keep him from pulling away to manage it. "Sounds like a good plan to me."

[scarecrowboy]

Gauging from the repetition, Kakashi thought his question a foolish one to have even asked, and nodded briefly before making a move for the table. Obito's hand on his wasn't a bother as much as it was merely a reminder that Kakashi didn't have to cut off contact, so instead he kind of swept Obito along with him as he loomed over the table, scanning for his first victim as his stomach gave a growl of approval.

[thebestuchiha]

He grinned at him as Kakashi took his cue, more than happy to be swept. That was pretty much what he'd been aiming for, and he reached to nab a cookie off the table while he perused his other options.

Ohhh, they had fish, score! He followed the cookie by collecting a plate of various fish bits and bobs.

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi slipped down his mask to pick at a serving of dried fish, hiding his chewing behind his hand as he glanced back at Obito.

"Have you eaten today?" he asked, giving Obito's choices of snacks a critical glance, acting as though he himself had any right to be scolding the shorter man.

[thebestuchiha]

"I had lunch! So this isn't exactly dinner, but as you can see it's not all sweet things, right?"

[scarecrowboy]

"Hmm..." Kakashi muttered, strings of his old habits of worry threading through his exterior, even as he apparently focused on picking at and chewing on bits of fish. "I guess you have a point.. Just don't tell Rin that. You'll get it worse from her."

[thebestuchiha]

"Eh? Oh come on! What should I eat if not this stuff?" He tilted his chin at the table. "Practically everything here is sweets or snacks!" He might have a tiny bit of a pout there.

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi circled a shoulder, a serious look on his face, but the corner of his mouth twitching; a clear sign that he was teasing his friend. "You know she'll find some reason to fuss over you."

[thebestuchiha]

"I know. She's always done that though." He paused a beat, letting out a little sigh. "It was kinda obvious while she was away." Still, the moment passed as quickly as it came and he grinned at Kakashi. "You stepped up nicely though so I didn't feel deprived."

[scarecrowboy]

Kakashi gave him the same look back, an eyebrow raised in question. "I wasn't fussing, I was keeping an eye on you." No, Kakashi, you were definitely fussing.

[thebestuchiha]

He made a rather non-commital hum and reached up to kiss his cheek through his mask before turning his attention to the food. "Sure thing Kakashi."

[scarecrowboy]

He was content enough to leave his defence there - after all, he wasn't fooling anyone, and instead just reeled Obito in close with the arm he had around him, keeping him near as they picked at their food together.
