scared of the stars

Chapter 17 - Kakashi

Jealousy was an ugly thing. It could consume you and make you think the worse things. Some would say you could measure the amount of control you have by how you react to jealousy.

Luckily, Kakashi had a lot of control.

He may have thought about going up to Obito and the guard whom he was talking with and force them away from each other, but he settled with silently watching.

Yamato could see his stares, and the grin growing on his mouth clearly showed how obvious it was.

If only the guard noticed. That would be perfect.

Unfortunately, he was handsome as well. He had well-toned muscles, and he dressed to accentuate. He had messy blond hair that fell naturally over his eyes, which were light brown. He kept a cocky smirk on his mouth, even when his tone showed otherwise.

He was the type of guy Kakashi hated.

Kakashi was not biased at all.

Kakashi had felt a sort possessiveness, and he did not like it at all. It wasn't as if they were dating or anything, yet he acted like a jealous boyfriend.

He should've stopped, yet he watched over Obito, listening in to his and Guys conversation.

Obito talked about him and it made him incredibly happy. It felt like he truly mattered.

The topic wasn't important. He had talked about creepy dolls and locks of hair, and Kakashi didn't care.

He felt like a fangirl stalking their crush. What was wrong with him?

Kakashi was in love. And what an annoying feeling it was.

His thoughts had grown increasingly worse at night too. The last few days he had even woken up in the middle of the night, mind filled with vivid memories of his dreams. Obito would not have approved of what he had been dreaming about, he was sure.

So he walked to the bathroom every night, making sure not to wake up the sleeping form lying beside him.

Kakashi used to have difficulties sleeping at night.

They seemed to disappear with each night Obito slept over.

«I know its important to get time to yourself and clear your thoughts and all, but maybe you should sleep some more?» Yamato asked, coming up behind him.

The sun was rising, casting its beams across the land and signaling a new day. The orange glow heated the water, calling for the fishes to come up.

It was early, too early for what he was used to.

«I had a good rest,» Kakashi said. He spoke the truth. Last night he had fallen asleep the minute his head hit the pillow.

«I have a hard time believing that,» Yamato confessed and sat down beside Kakashi. They sat on a huge boulder, a couple of meters up above where the others slept.

«You should sleep some more too, I think you deserve it,» Kakashi said and grabbed a rock before throwing it out toward the ocean. It made a huge SPLASH noise, attracting birds looking for fish to eat.

«I will, eventually. Obito just made so much noise I couldn't sleep anymore.» Yamato inspected his side of the boulder, looking at ones to throw as well. He failed and groaned.

«What kind of noises?» Kakashi asked and found another rock from his side. Yamato eyed it warily and looked disappointed.

«The ones you should make in private,» Yamato responded and reached forward to grab the rock. Kakashi decided to throw it before he could reach.
