Destined (Obito x Reader)

Sense of home

Obito's POV

Everything seemed to go out of hand. As my goal is so near, all these obstacles just keep getting thrown in. Damn you Nagato. Fucking traitor. I need to get his eyes and get Madara resurrected, why would he fall for those childish and naive beliefs Naruto told him?
I shift my gaze off the moon to my house. I walked through living room to my bedroom. There was zero light since I prefer to be in full darkness. Yet I could see her figure so clearly. She was shining, yet to reach out to such light would be just a distraction. My hand moved only with my subconscious will, my fingers traced her cheek, till I held her jaw as i continued to trace back and forth on her cheek with my thumb.
"Because of you I couldn't think straight" I whispered. I couldn't let this go on, right now it's perfect time since she's asleep, I don't have to feel guilty or hear her cry. I finally grabbed kunai, feeling that cold blooded adrenaline rush in. I spent majority of my life into obtaining The Moon project, small obstacles like her can't stop me.
My hand finally moved now with my conscience will, but my mind suddenly paralyzed me as I started to see those purple marks on (y/n) cheeks, her (h/c) hair started to shrink and darkened.
"Rin!" I stabbed through the pillow, only centimeters away from her neck. I fell back getting cold sweat.
"Again?! I can't kill her, again?!"I held onto my heart. "Rin..." I barely had any hallucinations, even from amount of despair I was in, I never got to even see her in my dreams. But now it felt so vivid, it was her, so real. I carefully walked up to her, (y/n).. she was smiling, then she whispered "I will".
Sleep talking huh. Finally I had an idea, more like an excuse to tell myself to why I kept her alive. She's gonna be the carrier of Rinnengan, this will be my excuse to why she has to stay close, why I won't even leave a trace of someone who dares to threaten her, why she's so dear to me.

Your POV
I don't know for how long, but I sat here starring into the space. Everything was glittery with small clouds, I felt a little paranoid but at peace at the same time. The pastel colors shifted each second. Have I died? Did I hallucinate seeing Tobi?

"Nothing to be scared of here" a soft voice echoed through the space.
I turned around to face this girl I saw many times in my visions.
"Rin?"

"Mhm" she cheerfully nodded.

"Am I dead?"

"Oh no no! You fainted. Your body needs a good rest."

"I've been getting so exhausted lately, I was never prepared for... just all of this"

"I understand, but you're still strong willed, no matter what" she smiled

"Eh? You watch over me?"

"Sort of...I have to make sure you're okay" she looked looked to the side.

"Have to? Is it some mission?"

"It's my promise to Obito, he has really got lost in his pathway"

"Obito?"

"Oh I forgot he goes by Tobi" she giggled

"So it's true.."

"Mhm, after I died, I saw Obito, I wanted to scream for him to snap back, I yelled for Kakashi to wake up, but it was all in vain. I watched it all from the side. The bridge I tried to build within Obito and Kakashi, it crumbled, once again."

"It's painful, I'm so sorry Rin, I've seen it too, I felt your hopelessness. Wish there was a way for them to hear your words somehow"

"There's a way, but it's not so straightforward, we - spirits can only leave hints and bring circumstances in your lives, but again, all humans have the power of will, they choose what they'll say or do about it. Obito clearly denies it, no matter how I reached out."

"But how, he should be connected to you, the amount of love he has for you.."

"His heart became untouchable, his love for me turned into illusions. He loves the memories I bring, of happier times, but that's it"

"Ri-"

"I then made the decision, which is the last thing I wanted was to.. bring in a person to help him feel a light, be able to feel something more than anger, I chose you (y/n)"

"No way" I was in such trance, everything inside of me was turning, I felt like I wasn't in my body.

"You have all the right to hate me, but.."

"You said we have a free will, so I was the one to accept your offer, but why out of all people is me?"

"That time you and your family went to Konoha, you were around 8-9, you were right next to the Uchiha residence, I don't know what, but you caught my attention."

"So my intuition is all you too?"

"Yeah, I was the one giving you the information and reassuring you"
I burst into tears

"Rin you didn't deserve it! You should be alive, being there with Obito! This makes me even more depressed.. he doesn't need me, he needs you!"

"It's none of our faults, someone else is responsible for all the chaos. Obito needs you, I'm from his past, and I can't go on when my soul isn't at ease. I'm so thankful how much you've done for me"

"All this time you were the one protecting me, I would be miserable without you"

"You're so strong and you're very kind, you're able to change people, see the light. I promised Obito I'll always watch over him, will you carry on my promise?"

"Of course, of course I will!"
We hugged each other. She felt like the closest person ever.

"It's time for you to wake up, I believe in you"
Everything started to fade into white, I felt tears again, this is such a heartbreaking story, they both truly cared for each other. Rin is far stronger, for witnessing all the mess Obito did, yet I... love him.
I was laying in some bedroom, it was more like a cabin. This whole place was filled with Obito's energy, the brighter side of him. I saw there was a huge hole on my pillow, and a knife on the floor. Was it Obito with his shenanigans? I left the room, and I was now in a big living room. Huge rug was in the middle, shelfs with books, a table with lots of notes. There was a kitchen built in with a living room. I turned left to find a very small corridor with an exit door open, there was him. He was sitting on the stairs, I had a feeling he was asleep. The sun was rising, it maybe was around 6 am. I missed him, but I didn't wanna wake him up since with how much stress he deals with for over a decade. I sat down on my knees and rested my head and hands on his back. I could fall asleep again right now, yet his raspy voice woke me up.
"I gave you a whole bed to sleep on"

"It's more comforting here"

"Okay then spread some blankets here"

"Ugh Obito you know what I mean"

"Huh?" He moved to the side and turned to face me as I almost fell forward.

"I meant that it's more comforting being with you" I crossed my arms

"I don't care about that, why you calling me Obito?"

"That's your real name. In case you forgot"

"Fine, call me whatever you want. I have to head out."

"Already?! For what?"

"Have to see someone who's owning something of mine, you stay here and don't leave"

"Aw Obito you like my company, don't you?"

"Enough" he was so defensive and monotone, but after meeting Rin I was able to read his emotions more clearly.
He stepped down and I ran to hug him, after all these days that felt like months, I was finally somewhere safe. He's been hiding his emotions for so long, so I have to make these small steps to break that cage around his heart. He has no choice but to accept it.
"(y/n) I said enough"

"Mhm, but I won't stop, deal with it"

After few moments, he lifted his hand, and ruffled my hair. This made my cheeks so red, so I stuffed my face into his chest. I didn't even realize he vanished. How?! I was holding him! That stupid technique of his..
"Tsch baka" I crossed my arms just to try keep my rambling emotions inside
