[The device is turned on to show a cheerful Gai. There’s some flour in his hair for an unknown reason and he seems unaware of it, or uncaring.]

Chipotle is not really spicy at all, is it?

[Kakashi's voice comes from off-screen, not far from the device. He's probably working next to Gai in the kitchen.]

Anything is 'not really spicy' to you.

[Gai looks off to the side.]

But this pepper especially is not very spicy! I am sure! I do not see why we cannot put some in dinner!

[An audible sigh from Kakashi.]

Obito will side with me. Two to one, you're outvoted, Gai-kun.

[Gai straightens, looking defiant.]

I am quite certain that Obito is up to dealing with spices! And I am asking the city, not just him! Perhaps you should build up your tolerance!

[A pause.]

The city isn't eating your food. We are. And we'd like to live through dinner.

[Gai sighs, looking down at the food.]

It would not kill you. Especially something this mild! It should not even... Very well.

[Gai steps away from the screen to put the peppers back in the fridge.]

[Kakashi moves into the frame just enough to be seen for a moment, before blocking the camera with his hand. The visual may be blocked, but the audio is not. The tone of his voice is playful and somewhat suggestive.]

I promise to make it up to you later.

[Gai’s voice is on the quiet side, but it’s no longer disappointed, not at all. If anything, it’s rather warm.]

Ah. I... Good. Then I would not mind dinner being... very mild.

[A bit of a chuckle from Kakashi.]

Dinner has to be Obito-friendly. Dessert-- [He stops abruptly and his hand moves away from the camera slightly.] You should really turn the communicator off.

We were-- I was asking-- [In the middle of verbally flailing Gai gets the communicator. There’s a glance at his face - his cheeks are red - and then it’s off.]

Exactly! And we have been friends since we were very small!

[avoids saying: ...since you were very small, you mean.]

...we have?

We were Rivals from the age of five... and I thought that we became friends sometime after that. That is small, is it not?

I guess.

Rivals since the age of five? That sounds pretty intense.

[Gai shrugs.]

And we have trained since we were able to hold weapons. It is our lives.

Yeah, I think you've told me that before. I do find it admirable.

It is life.

Well, I don't suppose you'll be sharing some of that food with me sometime soon?

[EXCUSE YOUR COMMANDER, HE'S IN A WHEEDLING MOOD TODAY.]

You wish to come over?

[He glances over at Kakashi.]

We can share! But I think I should put it in a container, if that is all right?

[Sorry, boss, but he may have 'dessert' plans with his partner.]

[Chuckles.]

That's fine. Heck, it can wait until tomorrow if you're busy.

But then it would not be fresh. You can come over tonight!

Very well. I'll contact you again when I'm on the way.

Splendid! I shall keep an eye out for you!

Not as intense as you might be imagining.

Oh?
