I adored writing this, hope you enjoy!• Being around the same age you grew up with Kakashi
• You weren't as close to him as Rin and Obito, but he still thought of you as a good friend
• Your feelings for the Copy Ninja went on the back burner as time went on
• As much as it pained you, Kakashi wasn't one for relationships
• At least - that's what you thought
• Tsunade, like the rest of the people in the village close to you, could see how the two of you acted around each other
• She could see the subtle looks you gave him when he wasn't looking
• And the way he looked at you reminded her of the way Dan would look at her
• She was surprised to know you weren't actually together
• With the way the two of you looked at each she was sure there was something going on
• Tsunade decided to send you both on a mission together
• She hoped spending enough time together would lead to one of you confessing your feelings for the other
• Both Tsunade and Shizune were shocked to see you by yourself
• They didn't get word if Kakashi was hurt so seeing you without him was a little surprising
• "Where's Kakashi?"
• "He had some errands to run so I told him I'd turn in the report"
• "Anything interesting happen on the mission?"
• Tsunade was usually more subtle then that, but her curiosity got the better of her
• "No, everything went as planned, Lord Fifth"
• Tsunade sent you on your way after that, planning the next mission for you two to go on
• The next few months were spent going on missions with Kakashi
• They were always rather short missions but you were happy to spend time with him
• It was a few months in when Kakashi confessed his feelings
• The two of you were sent on a longer mission this time, and while it was a success, the two of you were exhausted
• Kakashi used up so much of his chakra you had to help him walk to the nearest inn you could find
• You started your journey home once Kakashi was fully rested
• Silence filled the space between you
• You weren't exactly sure what to say to him - last night being the first time you've slept in the same room as him
• Thankfully, Kakashi was the first to speak up
• "Why do you think Tsunade keeps pairing us up for missions?"
• "I don't know. Why? Do you not want to be with me?"
• "Of course I want to be with you, [Y/N]."
• With the way he spoke, you had a feeling he wasn't just talking about the missions
• Kakashi laughed, the realization hitting him
• "It all makes sense now. Lord Fifth was playing matchmaker"
• "Wait you're saying-"
• "That I like you? Yeah, I thought it was obvious."
• You could see the faint outline of his smile through the mask when you told him you returned his feelings
• When the two of you finally made it back home, you went straight to the Hokage's office
• Kakashi handed in the report explaining how it was a success without much problems
• "We have some things to do, but is there anything else you need, Lord Fifth?"
• "No, you two are free to go"
• You both bowed before leaving
• Tsunade giving Shizune a wide smile when she noticed two of you leaving hand-in-hand
