Choose your weapon, Tenzo. One-time-use grenades in a bucketful. They're heavy but do damage if they explode on or near the target," Kakashi said as he jiggled a water balloon in his left hand. They broke, and he stared at his now-wet, empty hand before continuing, "Oh, they self-destruct sometimes too."
Then, with his right hand, he lifted the most colorful plastic gun ever. "Option 2," he continued, "A heavy-duty water cannon. It shoots fast and has enough ammo to last a few rounds. The con: it's hard to reload. Or... a bucket."
"I've already got my weapon here, Senpai," Tenzo spoke confidently. As Kakashi looked up to see what he meant, a stream of water whizzed past his left ear. Tenzo stood by the soapy truck, grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey, that's not part of the weapon choices today!" Kakashi yelled as he dodged more oncoming streams of water.
He could hear Tenzo laughing as he hid behind the trash cans.
"Yeah, well, it's the one thing I need to finish washing off your truck, so it counts." Tenzo whipped the hose around the truck to get a better angle at the suds on the side nearest to the trash bins.
The sound of water hitting the vehicle made Kakashi confident that he was safe from the hose.
He chimed in playfully as he stood, "Okay... I'll let it slide. But—"
An unforgiving stream hit his face, and he scrambled toward his bucket.
"Hahaha. Got you. I win! Aaaahahaha!" Tenzo laughed happily as he tried to hit Kakashi again.
"Cheater!!! Take this!" Kakashi squatted near the bucket of water balloons as if the tiny pail could shield him. He threw one water balloon after another. His aim was sloppy, but most hit Tenzo. One after another, the balloons exploded on Tenzo's head, his shoulder, his back, his hips, near his legs, and some on the truck.
"Hey! I'm defenseless!" Tenzo half-heartedly tried to shield himself while washing the truck. "At least aim at the suds on your car too." Another water balloon landed squarely on his head. "Hahaha. How!?"
Kakashi had thrown the last water balloon comically. He picked up the water gun and aimed. Tenzo was on the other side now and decided to return fire. The water gun was useless, Kakashi shouted, as it neither hit its target nor did any damage to anything. He promptly discarded it and decided to hide behind the truck.
Tenzo was done with the car and was reeling in the hose when Kakashi snuck back to the pail. Tenzo was kneeling near the pipes, reeling in the last meter of the hose when Kakashi tipped the whole bucket of water on him.
"And the winner is! Me!" Kakashi cheered, victorious. He did his silly victory dance in a circle. Tenzo thought that was both cute and ridiculous. He couldn't help but smile, seeing his Senpai happy.
"Congratulations," he said as he pushed his hair back. "Now I've got to dry off the truck." Tenzo stood and took off his white shirt. He wrung it in his hands a few times.
Kakashi had gone quiet, so Tenzo looked up at his friend.
"Hey, let's dry off inside?" Kakashi suddenly said.
"Hmmm... I could use a hot shower, but I need to dry off the car,” Tenzo replied and focused on wringing his shirt. White shirts were the cheapest, and the one he wore was already old. He would use it to dry the truck.
“Senpai, Could you hand me the…" he stoped when he felt a warmth near him and looked up. Kakashi was standing too close now.
"My weapon is cocked and loaded. It's gonna burst whether you like it or not," Kakashi whispered, dangerously lustful.
"Sen...senpai?" Tenzo breathed out. Kakashi's eyes looked down and back up to Tenzo's eyes twice, which made Tenzo look down at the narrow space between them.
"Oh!" he exclaimed as he saw Kakashi's bulge.
"I'd rather you pull the trigger instead of me."
Tenzo's face felt hot, and without missing a beat, he replied, "Yep. Okay. Let's go." Kakashi pulled him by his shorts toward the house. Tenzo laughed as he dropped his shirt and playfully tried to stall and failing. The sun would have to dry the truck today. Putting away their "weapons" took priority. 🤭
