"Someone has to," said Guy, tightening the straps of his pack and trying to remember if he'd given that last note to Neji.
"But that's not why you're going."
Guy sighed. Kakashi wouldn't meet his gaze, eyes staring hard at Guy's chest like he was preparing to strike. "You know why I'm going," Guy said.
"Yes, you need to leave," Kakashi admitted, "but it doesn't have to be this mission."
"This one's important."
"Which is why you shouldn't take it--we all know your genjutsu's for shit."
Guy took the two steps into Kakashi's space, placed his hands on either side of Kakashi's shoulders and gently, gently pressed their foreheads together.
"I'll be back in a few weeks."
He felt Kakashi's acquiescence in the loosening of his muscles and weight of his body pressing against Guy's. He uncrossed his arms and pulled Guy in for several breathless moments, releasing him just as suddenly.
"You'd better," said Kakashi. "Who else will I have to annoy me?"
Guy smiled. "I love you, too." He was rewarded with the rare sight of Kakashi's faint blush, so light it looked almost like a trick of the eye. Guy claimed one more lingering kiss before he departed.
Guy needed every memory he could horde--he had a long journey ahead of him and it would be quite a while before he could return.

Even more Lee as Hokage fic (because I may write all the scenes I'd never planned in these comments)
