Fluffy problem

The most ordinary morning, although others could hardly say the same in his place. It was only five o’clock, and he was already up and ready for another walk. A whole pack of pets was waiting for him at the door. Easily putting the necessary accessories on them, Hatake went outside, holding at least seven leashes in his hand. Pakkun obediently settled on his chest. Already on the street, having lowered the passenger to the ground, he set off along the usual route, which he had long learned by heart. After the walk, having completed his duties, Kakashi went to work, leaving his furry friends to relax on the couch.

An important meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. The boss asked him to be present, and to be present without delay. - Well, what should I do with you? The ash-haired man sighed softly. — You’re going to tear down my house… Okay, we’ll figure something out. Kakashi walked back and forth in the room for a while, but he hadn’t come up with anything useful yet, except how… - Leave you with someone? With whom? Hmmm… Hatake nevertheless sat down on the sofa and began to search for something on the phone, and several of his favorites fit next to him, the rest were spinning around his feet. Finally, the ash-haired man finally found what he wanted: “Dogsitter” - Well, finally! He breathed out with relief as he dialed the number. - Good afternoon! The voice belonged to a young guy. “A student. Apparently, he works part-time.” - Hello, is the announcement relevant? - Yes, of course! - Can you take care of my pets? It’s just that I have an important meeting tomorrow and I have to attend… - No problem! Kakashi gave him his address and they made an appointment. The next day, at the appointed time, the guy was standing near the front door. He had blond hair that stuck out in all directions. He was wearing a red hoodie, slightly torn jeans and black fingerless gloves. - Hello! You were the one who called me, weren’t you? - Oh, yes… The man hesitated a little at the sight of the blond man. He was too handsome. - Then I’m ready! Who should I go out with? Hatake smiled and called his dogs. - Here, — Kakashi looked at the guy’s reaction. His eyes widened in surprise, but after a couple of seconds he smiled. - Good! By evening they will be at home, well-fed and well-fed! - Thank you very much, — he smiled and added in a barely audible voice, — sunny… - No problem, dattebae! Kakashi took the necessary things, said goodbye and went to the meeting. Meanwhile, Naruto looked around the furry army. - Well, guys, are we going for a walk? What is it? — he asked cheerfully, although he knew perfectly well that he would not be answered. Going to the closet, he began to inspect the drawers in search of the necessary things. - So, where is it… Found it! The blond turned to the pets, holding a bunch of leashes in his hand. - Okay, I found this. It remains only to figure out where whose is… He looked at all the dogs again, trying to figure out who owned what. - So, you have a red collar, — said Naruto, approaching one of the dogs. So your wiring must be red, too, am I right? He attached the right leash to the collar and put a red muzzle on the dog. - Great, one is ready! Now you… So all the dogs were ready. Naruto, after counting them and making sure that no one was left, left the apartment and went for a walk. The dogs followed him merrily.

Kakashi returns in the evening. When he entered the apartment, he immediately noticed the silence reigning here. After walking around the house, he was still able to find them. The blond man was sniffing peacefully surrounded by fuzzies. Kakashi was surprised, but then smiled and decided not to wake them up. He went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. Two hours later, the guy still woke up. After assessing the situation, he noticed that the landlord of the apartment probably should have returned by now. Looking into the kitchen, he found the ash-haired man there. - Good morning… Oh, that is… Evening, — the awkwardly smiling blond man scratched his head. - Have you woken up yet? Hatake smiled. — Hi there. Do you want to eat? - Do you mind if I have dinner with you? - Of course not! Wash your hands and sit down,” Kakashi said, putting the plates on the table. Nodding, the guy went to the bathroom, then returned to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Hatake pushed a plate towards him. - Bon appetit! - Bon appetit! — he repeated, smiling and starting to eat. After a while, Kakashi asked: - What’s your name though? - Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki, — the blond man said after swallowing the food. — And you? - A beautiful name is Naruto, — the man smiled, — I’m Kakashi Hatake. - Glad to meet you! By the way, you’ve always walked with them before, haven’t you? - Yeah. - Is it difficult, perhaps, to cope with everyone alone?.. — Well… I’m used to it, — he scratched the back of his head, — but I wouldn’t refuse help… - I’m ready at any moment, — the blond man smiled radiantly. - Thanks. By the way, this is your personal number listed in the ad, right? Just to know… - Well, I don’t have another one, — the guy spread his hands. — However, I don’t mind you calling me. I will be glad to help. The walk turned out to be quite fun. I usually walk with one, maximum three dogs, but you have eight… Naruto laughed. - I could barely hold all the leashes. And so everything is fine. Kakashi smiled.

- Thanks for everything! It was time for Naruto to go home, because he was already standing on the threshold of Hatake’s apartment. - If you need help, call me, — the blond man smiled. - Okay, thanks. Kakashi stood for a couple of seconds smiling, and then, emotionally, hugs the guy. The blond was surprised, but happily hugged him back. - I love you… — the man whispered softly. Then the meaning of what was said came to him. Kakashi was embarrassed and hastily apologized. - No need to apologize, — he smiled, looking up at the ash-haired man. — You’re very nice too. - Really? The ash-haired man looked up at him with an embarrassed look. - Of course! Naruto was still smiling, now also a little embarrassed, who, to confirm his words, decided to kiss Kakashi.

The next day, Naruto came to Kakashi again. Taking the whole pack of Hatake fuzzies with them, they walked until the evening. Late in the evening, Kakashi escorted him home, after which, smiling dreamily, he returned to his home.
