Same Old Antics

Chapter 17 - Suffocate

*Obitos Improv

"This first week's been a nightmare. But as I sat on the bathroom floor all I could think of was the beautiful future I would have when it's finally over. Days of nauseous pain during alittle sweet thing called sleep. I fucking cried 5 in the morning everyday when it struck hard. I'd crawl out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom, gagging and doubling over a couple times before hurling my food. I knew I couldn't handle 9 months of hiding this from anyone so Kabuto quickened the process with a certain injection to aid my desires and convenience. But shit...! It's been so rough because of that. Kakashi has been telling me that we needed to schedule a doctor's appointment, I begged him no and laughed it off telling him that it's nothing serious. I can't go to a leaf hospital! I can't afford anyone knowing my timid desires. I didn't know how it happened but I just desperately wanted to bare Kakashis children so badly. I wanted to raise a beautiful boy or girl with him. We are like...the ideal fathers! Coming home from badass missions and kick the babysit ter out to spend hours playing and laughing together with him or her. Watch it grow years and years later. Train the boy to the bone and make him the strongest ninja. One morning I sat thinking if maybe the child would want to be hokage. It brought tears to my eyes. Fuck...but! It's been week 2 and the pain is all gone like the doctors said and I haven't been happier since! Sleeping in peace, dreaming of our future and utter happiness. I've been having cravings for peaches and yogurt. It's been a great week nonetheless."

*End of Obitos Improv

Later that afternoon, Obito sat on the same bench that he and Kakashi always spent their time together. He unzipped his Jounin vest and held his stomach, which was forming a small baby bump. He smiled and knelt his head back sighing.

You could cut my heart my heart into pieces,
I don't care.
Can you see the desperation on my face...?

His fingertips pressed against it, imagining the day when he gets to hold the child in its arms. 'I wanted to adopt a child...but...It wouldn't be the same as having Kakashis children.' He thought. He stared through his goggles at the Konaha sunlight. Glancing to his left he notice someone turning the corner. He zipped his vest, which did a good job hiding. Probably not the best when it expands even more. Obitos had thoughts of fear when Kakashi finds out from the sight of it. Or when they cuddle in bed together and feels it. Obito didn't want him to know until he brought the child home.

"Hey Obito..." Asuma softly spoke. "I knew you'd be here." He smirked with a cigarette in his mouth. Obito didn't want him to smoke around him as he was secretly pregnant and would harm the baby. "Asuma..." He weakly chuckled, "I'm sorry but I can't stand the smell of smoke, it makes me nasueous." He confessed. Asuma dropped it out of his mouth, "Hmph. I apologize old friend." And patted his shoulder before sitting down. "Thanks so much." Obito replied as he placed his arm over his abdomen disguising it. "So what's up?" He spoke. Asuma sighed, "Nothing really. Just wanting to ask you something." He stared straight ahead. Obito swallowed feeling quite nervous, 'Does he know...?!' His mind raced. "Are you and Kakashi dating..?" He asked. "I mean- it's totally okay..-" He stumbled. Obito smirked, "Well...I don't know." He turned away amused from his curiosity. "Oh...yeah..sorry." Asuma spoke. "Um. Why don't we go get something to drink?" He smirked. Obito bit his bottom lip staring down, 'My baby...' He thought, "Nah. I'm good." He chuckled. "Obito? Come oooooon. What's gotten into you? We used to drink together alittle while after you came back home to celebrate. I mean it's not much of a big deal but I also noticed that you're alone..." He thought. Obito shifted his eyes to the village laughing, "Oh wow.." was all he could say. Overwhelmed yet impressed by the man's observations. "I need to get home Asuma. Um...tomorrow...me and Kakashi planned to eat out at the resturant. Do you wanna come?" He kindly offered. Asuma chuckled, "Trying sugar coat eh? Well why not?" He smiled and pressed his arm across the bench. Obito smiled and turned around to walk. Asuma stared at the man with relief. Watching the old friend grow into such a man and to be back here. It still hits him hard at home.
