Ibiki stood beside Gai and watched the two men making out on the mission desk, an amused smirk on his lips. "I've never known you to /not/ put every effort into winning those little contest with Hatake. So, why help him now?"
The green clad man merely grinned, not even turning to look at him. Ibiki had known from the start that Gai wasn't serious about the contest. Or rather he knew it was against the man's strange sense of ethics to fight over the chunin's heart, especially knowing how his rival felt about the young sensei.
"Why make it a contest to begin with?" The scarred jounin wasn't sure if he should expect an answer or not, when Gai was in the mood he was damn good at keeping his secrets and generally Ibiki refused to push the issues. Besides, figuring out the other's rather unusual logic had become a sort of game between the two of them.
His friend didn't even glance at him as he turned and walked away, still smiling. Ibiki decided it was probably something about Kakashi having to earn the chunin's affections or maybe Gai simply wanted the silver-haired man to put forth some actual effort. Though it was also possible Gai simply wanted a reason to irritate both of his friends. He couldn't be for sure, but those seemed to fit the man's logic as well as anything.
"Isn't it a bit /unethical/ to steal from your friends?" Ibiki said, attempting again to understand the reason for the man's actions.
"It would be very un-youthful and despicable to so." Gai's reply was surprisingly quiet but the grin only widened.
They walked for awhile, Ibiki contemplating the situation and Gai grinning like an idiot. "How did you know it would work?" he asked finally.
"It's his mother's necklace." The fact that the man actually answered the question surprised him. That Gai knew the significance of the trinket didn't even phase him. The interrogator already knew the two men had been childhood friends.
"So..." Ibiki smirked, the puzzle pieces falling into place. "That's why he kissed you?"
The smile twitched almost imperceptibly in dark but it was the very slight blush that gave him his answer. Despite appearances, Gai was generally quite good at keeping secrets when he wanted. Still, it was just a matter of asking the right questions and knowing there were some things no one could hide. And even as they entered the apartment he had to wonder what else the man was hiding beneath the overly loud persona he presented the world.
