Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

Finale

Kakashi kisses at my neck gently like he had previously before going to check on Obito, his lips went over the light red marks he had left on my skin. Obito was asleep again, Kakashi had managed to put him down again in only a few minutes this time. We moved to the couch when he came back, I was actually sitting on his lap right now as he kissed at my neck. My arms were draped over his shoulders once more, I couldn't help but turn my head to the side some, allowing him more access to my neck. One of his hands rested at my waist, while I felt his other slowly sliding up my stomach to my chest. I didn't bother putting my shirt back on when he went to check on Obito, I knew he'd only take it right back off.

The fingers of his hand on my stomach reached my bra after a few moments, he let his hand cup my left breast, offering a gentle squeeze. Without realizing it, my lips were parted slightly and sound was coming from me. My back was also arched towards him, and a familiar tingling sensation was spreading thoughout my body. Kakashi must have known this, because he bites at my neck and squeezes harder once before placing a soft kiss to my neck and leaning his head back. He lowers his hand from my chest, and he places it at my waist with his other one. I let my body relax somewhat and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding, that tingling feeling still there. He moves his hands and wraps his arms around me, he pulls me against himself in a tight hug. I was definitely confused, but I returned the embrace. My eyes slid closed as he presses his face to my neck, I felt something wet on my skin and I knew what it was.

Kakashi was crying.

I let my head rest against his as I made a quiet shushing sound to comfort him, in truth I could feel tears coming to my own eyes. I hated seeing him like this, even if I don't know what brought this on, it wasn't in his nature to act this way. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I saw him cry was.

"It's alright," I say quietly,

"I'm here with you, Kakashi."

I held Obito carefully as Kakashi walked at my side, he had his hands stuffed in his pockets and I noticed his posture was slumped slightly. He had been acting like this for two days, ever since he cried. He refused to tell me what had happened to upset him that much, so I decided not to press further. We were taking a short walk around the village, I figured the fresh air would do us all some good.

Kakashi puts his hand on my shoulder as he stops walking, I pause as well and look at him curiously. He had his head lowered as he says,

"I...I'm sorry, Keira."

I gave him a confused look as I ask,

"For what?"

"The other day, I suppose you deserve an explanation."

~

Obito looks up at me as Kakashi sits next to me on the couch, we had come back home after walking for a little while longer. He sighs and starts,

"There's a reason why it happened, and honestly...it's because of you, and even Obito."

"I don't understand," I say,

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He looks at the baby in my arms as he continues,

"When I was out on the battlefield during the war, I didn't know if I would be coming back to you both. You would be without a husband, and Obito without a father. But then it was over, and I was able to come back. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I felt happy to see you again."

"Kakashi, you're so stupid sometimes. Ya know that, right?" I say with a small smile,

"It's alright to show how you feel."

"It's not only that," he was speaking quieter now,

"I have to tell you about what happened when we were there."

"...which is why my left eye is like this." He finishes as he pulls up his headband to reveal said eye. I couldn't believe it, it wasn't the normal red sharingan I was expecting, it was the same dark color as his right one.

Kakashi had told me everything he experienced during the battle, all of it felt so unreal, like it couldn't have even happened. He pulls his headband off all the way and sets it on the coffee table, he then starts to undo his vest while saying,

"And it's why this happened."

He lets his vest fall to the couch as he undoes it completely, he pulls up his shirt and the mesh underneath to reveal healing scars on his skin. There were smaller ones, that would more than likely heal up so they wouldn't be noticable. But there was a larger one on the right side of his chest and two thinner ones in an 'x' across the middle of his chest, where I can only assume there had been deep cuts. I held Obito with one arm, as I reached out with my free hand. My fingers traced over the x shaped scar lightly, this one and the one on the right side of his chest wouldn't heal like the others. Those would remain there, only to remind him of what happened.

Kakashi places one of his hands over my own as he says,

"I hope none of what I've told you changes your view of me."

I simply shake my head, I moved closer to him and put my free arm around him in the best hug I could manage while still holding Obito. Kakashi lets go of his shirt as he returns the embrace, the infant between us squirms in my arms as we hugged with him there. As we hugged, I say,

"Of course it doesn't change how I see you, I love you. I always will, you idiot."
