Before Uzumaki was able to tackle the Uchiha from his desk, Kakashi grasped him steadfast in a bind of potent arms, holding the struggling young man back.
"Sasuke..." Naruto glared from beneath the bind of his sensei's arms, "After this. It's you an' me. Outside, dattebayo."
"I'll let that slip my ears," The silver-haired sensei narrowed an eye irritably, his headband becoming unhinged for a moment, before he set the youth on his feet, "Calm down, Naruto... or you'll eat ramen standing for three days on the trot. Is that understood?" His gaze was firm, passionate, with a thread-like undercurrent of understanding running beneath that severity. He'd seen eyes like Naruto's many times growing up - in the eyes of the friend he lost long ago. In the eyes of that one who stayed by his side through thick and thin. He knew what the kid was feeling. Knew it because he knew just how to inflict that hurt.
Still glaring at his rival, dreaming of having that guy over his lap, twisting and gasping and yelping and pleading, Naruto nodded, sulkily, "Yeah, sensei..."
"Yare, yare..." Kakashi mock-sighed, raising himself up, straightening from his slump, "Well, there it is... all that tough-guy talk. To me, both of you, are just a couple of pups." his lone eye crinkled into a smile, the scarf never shifting, the gaze warm if piercing, "And pups - they need to learn through sharp shocks in life, so that they'll grow up strong and dependable," the masked man backed up slowly, eye flickering over his paperback erotica as he blindly eased a chair out from a desk, planting it on the floorboards with a sound clatter, "Now, I won't bite your ears or nip your tails, but... I think I can wean that attitude out of you two just fine," the visible eye smiled with affection as the sensei reared into a sit, setting toned, training-pants clad legs apart. He then patted a muscled thigh meaningfully, "I don't think pups like you are ready for anything more than my hand," his dark eye regarded Sasuke doggedly, almost playfully, "Time doesn't teach restraint, my little Uchiha. But since you think you'll be fine with it, how about you go first?"
