Same Old Antics

Chapter 16 - Counting The Hours

Obito arrived back at the villages gates. "Welcome Obito!" Izumo and Kotetsu cheered as they sat by the entrance. Obito nodded and smiled weakly, his eyes appeared tired. It was 5 am in the morning and the night sky was lightening up. Obito had told Kakashi that he'll be out during the night. Not that Kakashi was suspicious of him, but it was rather tough for the Uchiha to leave and head to Kabuto and some other medical ninjas on the abandoned villages and caves outside the leaf. Kakashi was worried Obito would be endangered, what if the Akatsuki came after him and he wasn't around to save him. Obito only smiled amusingly and told him, "Don't worry. We share the same eyes. We have the same ability." And left out the door. Kakashi slept fine and believed in his safety. Little did he know that Obito had some other plan outside the village.

He arrived down the street where Kakashis apartment was. He unlocked the door and stepped inside the dark hallway taking off his vest and goggles. Kakashi was still asleep upstairs. He usually went down at 7. Obito leaned his hands on the table sighing. He pressed his hand on his abdomen, rubbing it. He glanced around at the gloomy dark living room and kitchen. He felt bad for not letting Kakashi in his plans. He shut his eyes in guilt and bit his bottom lip. He heard footsteps down the stairs, "Kakashi..?" He spoke. Kakashi rubbed his tired eyes then smiled big, "Obitooo..!" He softly cheered and went to hug his partner. "You ok..?" Kakashi asked in concern as Obito barely hugged him. Obito sighed, "Yeah...just alittle tired Kakashi.." He smiled. He always loved Kakashis caring personality. "What'd you do? You look so tired hahahaha." Kakashi observed. "I...uhhh..took a couple drinks and...managed to get home this morning." He lied. Kakashi smirked, "Didn't know you were the type Obito." He teased. "Well I'm going to make some breakfast." Kakashi spoke. "You're usually up around 7?" Obito interrupted. "Well I heard you come home and I was just dying to see you." Kakashi smiled with his eyes shut sheepishly. Obito smirked and wrapped his arms around his neck, "Babe...I love you so much..." He spoke before kissing him. Kakashi held his waist and pulled away, "I love you too Obito." He smiled and kissed him one more time.

The day went on normally. They played their usual board games, cuddled in the couch and drank smoothies. It wasn't until they went out that it began to feel strange. Obito held onto the resturant table with a hotflash. He sighed and slid his goggles to his forehead after wiping his face. Kakashi finished paying up the bill, "You alright Obito? You don't look so hot." He asked. Obito smirked, "Heh...it's nothing. I'm fine.." He replied. "Want to get some icecream? The weather is really hot today." Kakashi asked. Obito paused staring at the floor feeling nauseous, he held his head, "Sure..." He blurted out with his eyes shut. Kakashi blinked and held his partners face, observing him, "Why don't we take this off." He thought as he unzipped his Jounin vest. "Mmm..! I'm fine." Obito interupted. "No Obito I don't think so.." Kakashi pulled it off his sleeves. Obito held his stomach, bending forward alittle. Kakashi noticed his black hair was sweating up on his forehead. He grabbed a napkin and wiped it. "This should be better. No you can breathe better without so much clothing on you. Here let's go outside." Kakashi placed his hand on Obitos waste. Obito stared at the floor thinking, 'Damn it...I agreed to Kabutos suggestion for the growth to be complete in a month...after the procedures he did say the pain will be more greater for such a short span but still...I wasn't prepared for this...Well he did say it'll be over the first week...' his mind thought. He shifted his gaze at his beloved. 'Kakashi...' his mind pondered.

The afternoon in Konaha was bright and busy. Obito breathed the summer breeze and felt better. "I think the ice cream will help." He chuckled. Kakashi chuckled along as they walked down the streets.

"Here is nice." Kakashi spoke as they sat on a rooftop safely guarded by trees towering over it. "I always read here." He added he slid his mask down. Obito licked his ice cream cone with a smile, "Yeah..?" He asked. Kakashi licked his cone, "Wow this is really good..." He spoke. "Yours is huge Obito. You got like 5 scoops? And random flavors." Kakashi chuckled. Obito chuckled, "I couldn't choose but I knew I wanted alot." Kakashi giggled. They sat close together enjoying their ice cream and the view of Konaha. "Ahh..man...Obito...I love this.." He sighed. Obito nodded with a smile. "We also need to go to the grocery store after." Kakashi spoke. "I'm running out of food. I'm not used to having two people. Usually food lasts me a little over a month. But I haven't shopped in 2 and a half weeks." He added. Obito chuckled, "I'm have a bad appetite." He smirked. Kakashi laughed, "No Obito. I don't mind. Trust me, having you with me is all that matters." He hooked his arm around the Uchiha. Obito smiled weakly as his thoughts came to disturb this peaceful, happy moment.

"I wish to go to sleep..." Obito sighed as they finished groceries. Kakashi chuckled, "Don't worry we are almost home Obito." "You ate alot of sweets today too. I didn't know you were a sweet tooth." He teased. Obito blinked in thought. 'The side effects...they're faster than I think...' His mind spoke. He came back to reality, "Hahahaha...I eat anything Kakashi." He replied.

"Turn the key and here we are..." Kakashi muttered. Obito groaned and placed the bags on the table. "My fucking back." He muttered. Kakashi placed the bags down, "Were those heavy for you?" He asked. "Hehehe...Hell no, I'm just...whining as the usual." He smirked. Kakashi smirked at that, "I wouldn't have you any other way to be honest." He teased. "But I think it's time you get to bed early. Here I'll help you up." Kakashi offered as he held one of his arms and walked up the stairs. "Oh thank you..Kakashi.." He sighed as he lyed on the bed watching Kakashi darken the room by turning it blinds from the sunlight. "Anything you need ring this bell." He pulled out a bell from the drawer. Obito smirked in amusement, holding it high, "Why the fuck do you have a bell Kakashi..?" He observed. "Well...you never know Obito.." Kakashi rubbed his hands together with a weak smile. Obito licked his lips and shook the bell. "What is it Obito?!" He overreacted. Obito loved his strange personality. He grinned big, "I want a kiss." He joked. Kakashi blinked and then knelt forward. They kissed. Obito chuckled, "Ok babe. Thank youuuuuu!" Kakashi itched his hair blushing, "Of course Obito." And left out the door, shutting it slowly. Obito sighed and got up off his bed trying to walk through the dark room. He went over to the mirror and took off his goggles and leaf headband. He sighed and leaned on the table, shutting his eyes for a couple minutes. He awoke from his thoughts and stepped back placing his hand over his shirt, rubbing his stomach.
