Naruto Oneshots + Imagines

Exes (Kakashi Hatake x Fem!Reader) (NSFW)

It's a busy spring night as Kakashi sits alone in a booth at the busiest barbecue restaurant in town. Across from him in the opposite booth are Kurenai, Asuma, and Guy. Kurenai and Asuma look pretty displeased about the fact that Guy was oblivious enough to wedge himself between the two of them. Neither of them have the heart to say anything, though. Kakashi watches the comical scene with slight amusement. The only issue is that the empty spot next to him is supposed to be filled by you.

Fifteen minutes have passed since you were supposed to arrive. Kakashi was ten minutes late, sure, but you're never late to things by this much. A tad bit concerned, Kakashi tells the waiter to come back for their orders in a few minutes. His one uncovered eye flickers to the clock on the wall.

"(y/n)'s late again, huh?" Kurenai says quietly. The ravenette holds her hands in front of herself and looks over her painted fingernails as she continues. "I'm starting to get worried about her..."

"Don't act dumb, Kurenai, we all know it's because she got back with (e/n) again," Asuma bluntly states, and Kakashi knows it's true. Since you've been assigned to help the copy ninja with training his brand new genin on team seven, he's learned a lot about you, including the fact that you've been in an on and off again relationship with (e/n) for two years. It's a miserable partnership that frustrates Kakashi beyond belief, so he chooses not to talk about it. "They don't let her do anything, let alone hang out with us."

Kakashi knows that's true, too. You've brought (e/n) around a handful of times to try to integrate them into your friend group. It just hasn't worked. It's obvious that (e/n) is jealous of your friends- including Kakashi- and wants you to themselves to an unhealthy degree. These days, you hardly hang out with them at all. Kakashi has always found the situation to be abusive if anything, but you always say you're fine, and because it's not physical, no one else seems to be as worried about it as Kakashi is. After all, (e/n) is a civilian with an office job who merely lives in the village because it's where their work is located. You're a Jonin. You could take them down if you had to.

The problem is that (e/n) doesn't hurt you like that . They hurt you with words and with toxicity that's a lot more subtle than some evil maniac beating or yelling at his poor girlfriend in the middle of the street. Bad relationships are never like how they are in the books.

"Asuma!" Guy scolds the other man, who lights a cigarette. "That's inappropriate."

"What? It's true," Asuma argues. "They're a jealous, insecure-"

"Asuma, stop it!" Kurenai elbows Asuma in the gut so hard that he nearly spits his cigarette out. Then, she continues. "I think she's coming in."

Low and behold, there you are coming in through the front door of the restaurant, nearly twenty minutes late. Kakashi's eye squints in a mixture of confusion and concern; you're not bright and happy like you are with the Genin right now. No, instead of your neatly-ironed Jonin uniform and headband, you're in a t-shirt and baggy pants, and your (e/c) eyes are red and puffy like you've been crying for hours.

Still, you come and slide into the booth next to Kakashi. He almost tosses an arm over your shoulder, but thinks better of it- because God forbid (e/n) walk in and get the wrong idea. The waiter takes your order.

While Kurenai, Asuma, and Guy try to chat away like nothing is wrong, Kakashi doesn't offer you that same kindness. Instead, he turns to you and asks-

"(y/n), what's up?"

"Oh, not much," You respond with a plastered on smile that Kakashi doesn't believe is genuine for a second. "How about you?"

"No, I mean what's up? " Kakashi clarifies. Your face drops, and the fake smile from seconds before is replaced with a frown. "You look like absolute shit ."
