somewhere kakashi is shaking his head going "this was not what I told you to do"

[morningpeacock]

Where: Obito's Apartment
When: Feb 10, evening (6:30pm-ish assuming Obito is on time)
Notes: NSFW plurk inspired naked scarf dancing, so here's your birthday stripper, Obito. Already undressed.




If Gai felt truly foolish about this, he would never have agreed.

Still, standing in Obito's bedroom with nothing but a scarf thrown over his shoulders and another tied at his waist, Gai wondered if Obito was going to laugh at him. Maybe the waist scarf was a little too much.

What exactly was proper protocol for naked scarf dances?

He had been practicing a routine (fully clothed, of course) all day yesterday, and he was quite happy with it! Obito should be thrilled! Plus, there was dinner (which they would prepare together, but Gai was certain Obito would very much enjoy) and there would be dessert, and then they could relax and spend the evening together! It would be the best birthday Obito had had in a long time, surely! That was not overconfidence speaking!

Gai waited until he heard the door close behind Obito before stepping into the doorway between the livingroom and the bedroom. He grinned at him, tossed a tail of the scarf over on shoulder dramatically, then posed with his hands on his hips. "Happy Birthday, my Hokage."

Comments

[thebestuchiha]

He laughed again and ran his fingers down his spine. "Maybe later. So, how do I get to help?"

[morningpeacock]

He gave a playful swat at Obito's hand and arranged the food on the counter. "However you would like! Kakashi thought this would be a nice activity for us to do together!" Alright, he would admit it wasn't his idea. "But if you want to watch, I am good with that, too!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Nah, Kakashi had it right. I like to help." He looked around, then went to start getting things out. "Though watching you in that'll be really nice too."

[morningpeacock]

He flailed, nearly sending some spices spilling over the counter. "Obito!" How was he ever going to focus on dinner when Obito kept slyly slipping those kinds of comments in?!

[thebestuchiha]

"What?" He grinned and turned to get down the dishware needed for cooking. "You're going to prep this stuff right?" He wiggled suggestively, leaning up to get down a cutting board.

[morningpeacock]

"You--" He jabbed a finger at Obito, finally dragging his eyes up and away from Obito's wiggling. "--are making it very difficult to be a gentleman! And I pride myself on being a gentleman!" He opened and closed the cabinets, not really looking for anything except a distraction from Obito.

[thebestuchiha]

"A gentleman? But what would you need to be a gentleman for?" He set out the last few things and looked around. "We missing anything?"

[morningpeacock]

"What would I--!! Of course I should be a gentleman! I should be polite and kind and respectful! And gentle! Love is tender and sweet!" He closed the cabinet. "And, yes, I think we have everything."

[thebestuchiha]

"And messy and painful and overwhelming!" He laughed and looked at Gai through his lashes. "But we'll get there eventually mm?" He moved over and started to open things up. "Alright, so, I'll start this part, you start that stuff over there?"

[morningpeacock]

Overwhelming, definitely. "Indeed!" He laughed too and set to work on his designated part. "And we shall meet in the middle! Teamwork! Excellent plan!"

[thebestuchiha]

"I like teamwork, you should have figured that out by now, yeah?" He laughed and smiled, working on his chosen segment cheerfully.

[morningpeacock]

"It is one of the things I admire about you! And it is difficult to forget your interest in teamwork when it happens to be the only thing I am wearing."

[thebestuchiha]

"Hmmm true. I did wrap you in teamwork, didn't I?" He laughed lowly and gave him a look through his lashes.

[morningpeacock]

He blushed and flicked him with water from the sink where he had been rinsing off some of the vegetables. "Gah! Stop looking at me like that!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Like what Gai?" He felt his grin get bigger. "I'm just looking."

[morningpeacock]

"Like that!" He turned around, then decided turning his back on Obito was really not going to help matters when he was as exposed as he was, and turned back around. "And you should be looking at the food!" He waved towards it, as if trying to encourage Obito to look away. "We are supposed to be making dinner! How do you always do this to me? Even when you are not in spandex!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Do what Gai?" He let his eyes wander a bit, lingering on him for a moment more before finally turning to start working on his chosen food task.

[morningpeacock]

He let out a frustrated grumble, feeling his body heat up again under that gaze. Someday! Someday he would master that art and do that right back, he decided, certain that with effort and hard work he could have the same effect on Obito that the man had on him. "Just you wait, Uchiha Obito! With a little more practice, I will turn your tricks against you!" And with that resolve, he returned to working.

[thebestuchiha]

"Now Gai, you make it sound like you don't phase me." He gave a low laugh and shook his head, not looking over as he kept his gaze fixed on his hands.

[morningpeacock]

Resolve. What resolve? Gai looked up again from his work, having chopped hardly anything, and raised a brow.

"No, that is not it." He shook his head and came up behind Obito, pressing just barely against his back as he leaned over his shoulder to spy on his work. His voice was soft as he ran his fingers down the back of Obito's wrists, over his hands. "You do a lot more than phase me. You unravel me, Obito. You unfocus me with just a look, get under my skin with only a word, drive out of my mind with just a breath--You tease me and turn me on at your command. That is what I will someday master, and then use against you." He pressed a quick, but indulgent kiss to Obito's neck, then picked up a spoon from the counter next to him and returned to his own work station.

[thebestuchiha]

His eyes widened a little with the maneuver, and he held very still as he soaked in the way Gai wrapped around him for a moment. The man had sheer presence and there was mercy int he world that the man didn't know how to weild it like the weapon it could be just yet.

His tone was just a touch breathless. "Such power I have, and here I was barely doing anything at all."

[morningpeacock]

Gai wasn't even entirely sure he had phased Obito much until he was returning to his work and he could hear the faintest breathlessness in Obito's words.

"Perhaps it is that subtlety that makes it so powerful. Or maybe it is just something about you. I would say 'use your power wisely' but I will be happy if you continue to use your power on me, wisely or otherwise."

[thebestuchiha]

He gave a soft laugh in response to that and assembled the items before him so he was free to look over his shoulder at Gai. "Not much risk of me deciding not to do that, don't worry."

[morningpeacock]

If he could focus, Gai would be done with the preparation soon. It was just a matter of focusing on something other than Obito. He was ...getting there.

He blushed. "Good. I am glad. I have always enjoyed your flirtations," he gave a laugh, "perhaps a little more than I should have when I thought we were just kissing-training! I do not have the same sort of powers, but that will not stop me from trying them on you for as long as you shall let me."

[thebestuchiha]

"Gai, I let you kiss me before I realized I was interested in you kissing me. You do just fine." He chuckled and moved to wash his hands, then dried them and moved over to kiss a line down Gai's spine once he was sure there was no sharp object in a position to hurt Gai.

"All done with my prep." He stopped just above the small of his back where scarves tied, then straightened and moved back.
