scared of the stars

Chapter 13 - kakashi

Guy was reluctant to talk about Kurenai, so Kakashi stopped pestering. He wanted to get to the bottom of it but knew it wouldn't help and would probably make Guy leave instead.

Kakashi grew increasingly bored with each drink but didn't want to be rude and say so, so he instead smiled and continued.

He took down the fabric covering his mouth and took another sip, happy Guy wasn't the kind that would beg to see what Kakashi looked like under the mask like a few certain someones.

He turned around to catch a glimpse of the living room, making sure everything was fine. Obito, Kiba and Naruto had all moved to sit on the couch instead.

Kakashi was extremely relieved that Naruto and Kiba accompanied Obito since if they were here, he would probably have a harder time.

Kakashi was distracted Guy so that he wouldn't make Obito start to drink. It may be that Obito had a very clear head when drunk, but Kakashi didn't want to take any chances.

«So are you ready for tomorrows mission? It will be your last.» Guy said and leaned against the fridge, looking at Kakashi wearily.

He had forgotten. Tsunade had sent him a letter with the instructions, and also requested for Obito to be brought along. Kakashi found It weird but didn't question it. It would be fun to see how Obito performed, and he was sure the Uchiha would be happy to hear the news.

«It will be interesting.» Kakashi simply said and moved the glass to his lips.

He was already tired and really missed his bed at the moment.

«Give me, give me!» Sakura said and moved to grab Kakashi's glass. He hadn't even noticed that she had arrived. Sai followed after, almost tripping over his feet. If Kakashi had to guess, he had never been drunk before. Danzo was probably very angry from where he was buried.

Sakura was laughing, but Kakashi couldn't fathom why. Sai reached for her and then, Kakashi saw he was aiming for her stomach, trying to tickle her.

«You have to stop doing that, Sai!» She said and almost tripped over her feet, making her laugh even louder.

Kakashi was very confused about what was happening.

«Oh, Kakashi! Guy! Get over here.» Naruto ordered from where he sat in the living room. Kakashi honestly didn't mind, since he could now watch over Obito and give Guy the death glare if he tried to pour something to Obito.

Maybe he was getting slightly paranoid, but it was excusable.

He looked over at Guy and received a smile and a nod in response, so they walked to where the rest sat. Sakura and Sai stayed in the kitchen, one laughing while the other walked around like a zombie.

«Hello everyone. I recommend not drinking too much since I am sure most of us have missions tomorrow.» Guy said and walked over to sit beside Kiba.

There was a chair at the end of the table, so Kakashi sat down and looked over at Obito, but froze when he sat the glass in his hand.

«You're drinking,» He simply stated, feeling his stomach drop.

He had been doing his best to hold Guy from doing something stupid, and Obito was drinking on his own free will. Now we really wanted to just go home.

«Yeah, is that wrong?» Obito said and took another sip, probably to get further on Kakashi's nerves. It worked.

Kakashi said nothing, not wanting to complain or tell him to stuff. Obito was an adult and could decide for himself, even if it was rather annoying at the time.
