Healing (Kakashi x reader)

baby steps

You walked around the village quietly. You would catch people staring at you in pity before they would look away. The whole village sympathized with you, which was a sweet thingin and of itself, but the looks and whispers made your grief even worse. But you ignored it for the most part. Around the afternoon you ran into none other than Kakashi.
"Yo Y/n how have..." His brow furrowed and he tilted his head "have you been sleeping?" Of course he knew what happened. But he hadn't seen you since before it happened...
"Um... Well... I could be better..."
"I know... You've been grieving... Is that why you can't sleep?"
"I've been scared to..."
"Scared?"
You feel a lump in your throat as you begin to speak
"Every night I have the same dream... The whole thing replays in my head... Himori laying there helplessly..." You choked back tears as you feel an arm around your shoulders. "I know..." He muttered in a low tone. You knew very well that he lost the people close to him. How he thinks about them as well. "You know y/n... Loosing a person dear to you is like loosing an appendage... You can never fully heal from it... But you learn to live without them..." Tears rolled down your face. "What do I do now?"
"Take baby steps toward healing..."
