"You're coming."

Deadpanning Kakashi, you move out of the way of the busy street and shake your head. "I'm fine. I'll just see you at training tomorrow." You attempt to persuade him but still, he's firm.

He lets out a gruff breath and steps closer to you, grabbing your hand and simply dragging you along. "You've been here for over a month and you still refuse to see them. They're good people, Y/N. I don't understand why you don't just hang out with us. They ask about you often."

You stumble behind him and roll your eyes. "I never said they were bad people. I just don't like them. It's simple, really." You sigh.

And you're telling him the truth too. You don't like many people. Probably about 5... and even that's pushing it. People just get on your nerves much too easily. It's nothing personal.

"Well, learn to like them."

Ultimately, Kakashi just forces you along, dragging you behind him as he walks to wherever it is you're meeting them.

You come to a halt at the same bar you were at last time, biting the inside of your cheek as your feet dig into the ground. Saying you're nervous is an understatement. You're genuinely scared to face these people.

Kakashi sees your closed demeanor and intertwine his calloused fingers with your own, pulling you inside with him. The thing is, he clearly understands why you're scared. Not only have you not seen them in a decade, but even when you were around— you never hung out with them or even remotely spoke to them.

As soon as you both enter the building, the same round of yells of Kakashi's name erupts, yelling at him meet them. The familiar voices makes you tilt your head down, your hair covering your face.

Why am I so insecure-

Kakashi tightens his hold on your hand and walks to them, stopping in front of the table with you at his side.

Every last person at the table looks at you with huge eyes, something Kakashi notices as he stares down at them with a threatening aura. You can also feel their eyes, so you mentally prepare yourself a bit before looking up at them with the biggest, sunniest smile.
