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."

"If they want to throw you a party, that is fine! Just so you are properly spoiled." And Gai was surprised about Rin, too. He expected Rin to occupy Obito's time today. He raised Obito's hand up to his lips and kissed it, then poured his own glass and took a seat.

"I did not prepare a toast, I apologize, but" he raised his glass and waited for Obito to do the same. "To my beloved and youthful Obito. Happy Birthday, now and forever."

[thebestuchiha]

"Seems conceited to toast that but..." He lifted his glass too. "Why not."

[morningpeacock]

"Conceited?! You deserve a little conceit! Be proud of you, Obito! Your humility is endearing, but wishing yourself a happy, healthy birthday does not take away from the happiness of anyone else. And you deserve your own happiness." He grumbled. "I want it for you. But if you would like to make your own toast, alright!"

[thebestuchiha]

He blinked, then laughed, reaching over and touching his wrist. "Hey hey, no need to get upset. I'll accept it freely, nothing to worry about."

[morningpeacock]

"I am not upset, I just want you to be happy and proud and secure in that happiness! Your happiness means so much to me." Gai gave Obito's hand a warm squeeze. "Now eat up! I have kept you waiting for food long enough!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Er... Right. Course." He cleared his throat, having found himself staring at Gai for a minute there, then started eating, flashing him a grin.

[morningpeacock]

"Of course I am right!!" He grinned, watching Obito eat before taking a bite of his own. Obito liked it, right? That grin said it was good!

[thebestuchiha]

"You, Gai, are adorable, I hope you know that." It was blunt, and probably incredibly random, but he never commented on it and it was about time he did.

[morningpeacock]

"What?! I am manly! Not adorable." He pouted. "You are adorable."

[thebestuchiha]

"You can be all man and be adorable, can't you?" He waved off the returned compliment and took another bite of his food, smirking.

[morningpeacock]

Well, Obito could be, definitely. "I suppose so. I have not been called adorable much." At least not without it being patronizing to his intelligence or personality. Or teased, but teasing from some people was ok. "Thank you. I like being manly and adorable to you."

[thebestuchiha]

"Well good. There's other stuff too, like sexy, but I figure you knew that one." He flashed him another grin, then turned his attention fully to the food.

[morningpeacock]

"I had some suspicions, yes." Nothing could take that smile from Gai's face. "I will always try to be sexy and adorable and manly for you." He dug into his meal, still riding that happy high.

[thebestuchiha]

Obito didn't say anything else, just smiling to himself as he set about eating, content to focus on that for the time being, though when he was finished he watched Gai instead of moving to clean up.

[morningpeacock]

He was well aware of Obito watching him over the candlelight--so beautiful as always--as he finished the meal. I could do this forever. Maybe without the scarves, but every day for the rest of his life just being able to spend the night sharing dinner with Obito, sharing his time. As he finished up, Gai met Obito's eyes.

[thebestuchiha]

He flashed him a bright smile, holding the eye contact. It seemed only natural to lean across the table and touch Gai's cheek, narrowly avoiding setting himself on fire in the process.

[morningpeacock]

He put a hand over Obito's, but when he noticed their proximity to the flames... "Watch your sleeves!" Gai fussed. "You have to be careful! I want to turn you on, not set you on fire!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Oh I dunno, being set on fire could be fun." He gave him a wicked smile, then pulled back, laughing at him. He wasn't being malicious though.

[morningpeacock]

"You would say that." He laughed, eying Obito. "Though it does sound like fun."

[thebestuchiha]

"Of course I say that." He shifted in his seat, picking up his plate. "I'm gonna put this away, wanna give me yours while you decide what happens next?"
