Kakashi was removed from his ANBU duties and was moved to Jonin leadership. Not long after, Tenzo by the name 'Yamato" became Kakashi's replacement while he was incapacitated.
On a nice clear day, Yamato went out for a walk around Konoha. He stopped by at a hill surrounded by lots of trees and he sat down.
He stared at the clouds and was reminded of Kakashi. Oh how Kakashi loved to stare at the clouds. He spaced out from a few years ago, at the time he confessed his feelings to Kakashi. He received nothing but pain from denial.
He looked down the ground like he always did and felt that nothing's changed. He still loves Kakashi.
He heard someone walking to his direction so he immediately fused with the tree. Kakashi arrived and sat to where Yamato was earlier.
"It's okay to come out Yamato." he said while pulling out his pocket book.
Yamato emerged from the tree and stood in front of Kakashi. "Impressive as always, Kakashi."
"You forgot to erase your scent when you fused with the tree so I inevitably caught a whiff of your smell. Not that I don't like it but you always smelled good."
Yamato scratched the back of his head "Well I better be going now."
"Do you have somewhere to go to, Tenzo? Rather, Yamato?"
"Ugh... I was just taking a walk."
"Then you can just stay here and stare at the clouds with me." Kakashi closed his book and lied down the ground.
Yamato lied beside him and they both stared at the clouds. The silence was comfortable unlike the last time.
"Say, Tenzo, have you finally moved on?"
The question Kakashi asked made Yamato uneasy and he suddenly shifts to a sitting position curled up.
"Y-yes." Yamato answered hesitantly.
Kakashi haven't spoken a word and so did Yamato. The comfortable silence became awkward like the last time. "I see." Kakashi said as he stood up and walked away, leaving Yamato on his spot.
"Wait..." Yamato called but Kakashi ignored him and kept on walking. "Now what did I do?" he whispered to himself.
"I don't know if he likes me back or not. He sometimes act so sweet and then suddenly changes. I don't understand if he's volatile or not."
Yamato ran deeper to the woods to let out his sorrow and confusion. He stopped at the middle of the forest and let the tears wash away the pain.
Then a voice from behind him asked "Captain Yamato?"
He turned and saw Hinata. "What are you doing here, Hinata?" he asked forcing a smile.
"I always come here to train during my free time. Is something bothering you?"
"Ugh no no. I'm fine. I just had something in my eye while I was running. Continue on with your training."
Yamato left and went to shop for some errands. After shopping, he spent the day just roaming around and entertaining himself with his wood element technique.
He went back home and dropped the errands at his table. He took off his vest and went straight to bed without even bothering to turn on the lights.
Yamato felt someone grip his hand. He quickly yanked his hand and jumped off the bed. When he turned on the lights, no one was there.
"Maybe it was my imagination" he said to himself. He felt someone push him to the bed and a hand covered his eyes and mouth. He felt someone sat atop of him and his hands were pinned down.
As his blurry vision clears, he saw Kakashi.
"Kakashi. What are you doing?" he asked, his whole body heating up. Kakashi looked at him with regretful eyes.
"Tell me Tenzo... have you really moved on?"
"I-I can't answer that..."
Kakashi gripped his hand tighter until Yamato grit his teeth. "Answer me."
"S-so what if I have? You never loved me back anyway. P-please let go." Kakashi let go and went out through the window.
"What was that all about?" Yamato asked himself as he caressed his sore wrist.
