scared of the stars

Chapter 15 - Kakashi

Kakashi sat at his usual place by the window, replaying the events that happened the night they stayed over at Sakura's house. It had been two days ago, yet he couldn't erase the image of Obito looking at him, his fingers slowly trailing his cheeks. He had been so enthralled he almost forgot why Obito even wanted to feel his face. He had raised his hands to touch Obitos but stopped himself before they reached his skin.

«Aren't you ready?» Shouted Obito from the hallway, overly excited for their mission. It would be his first for many years, and Kakashi liked the enthusiasm.

Sometimes he got a little too excited though.

«I'll just go like this. It's not like they have a strict dressing code.» Kakashi responded and stretched out his legs, feeling stiff all over. He had been lazing around too much lately, but he had declined every mission since Obito returned in order to spend more time with him.

«I refuse to believe all you do before a mission is waking up. You gotta do something more.» Obito said and walked into the room, staring him down and holding his hands on his hips.

«What do you want me to do then?» Kakashi asked, over exaggerating a sigh.

«For you to strangle my hips with yours and push me against the wall.» Obito mused, voice husky and low. Kakashi turned around and stared bewildered at his roommate, though feeling hopeful.

Obito looked confused at his strange expression and raised his brows questioningly.

«What?» He asked and leaned down to put on a pair of socks.

Kakashi looked Obito up and down, taking in everything he could before Obito was finished. «What did you say»?

«I said I wish for you to take things more seriously and to stop acting like a wall. You're too emotionless at times, it's creeping me out.» Obito looked disgusted at his socks, and Kakashi for a second thought it was because of him, but then he realized that Obito had grabbed a mismatched pair and one was much longer than the other, which only went up to his ankle.

Kakashi sighed in disappointment and hated his brain for playing tricks on him.

Of course, Obito wouldn't be so bold.

Maybe he should change into proper clothes and brush his teeth before meeting up with Tsunade.

And maybe he should smile some more since according to Obito he was as emotionless as a wall.

--------------------------

Obito was fidgeting, clenching and unclenching his fist. He tried to look calm, but his nerves were obvious. He wanted to become a proper citizen again and start to work for the hidden leaf, but he had begun a war and was even responsible for Tsunade almost dying.

Tsunade was staring hard at him. Her mouth was in a tight line.

This could either go well or very very badly. Guy was standing beside Kakashi, a cocky smirk in place.

«I have gathered you all here to inform you of your next mission. I thought you three would be the best option here and thought that your teamwork would work the best.» She said and looked through the paper in front of her.

«I know you didn't want to be on any other missions in order to spend more time with Obito, Kakashi, but I thought that maybe it would be okay if he came with?» She framed it as a question. It wasn't exactly a question.

Obito looked down toward Kakashi's feet and, though it was barely noticeable, the corners of his mouth moved upwards a bit.

Kakashi smiled back, even if Obito couldn't see it.
