Yay, my first Shounen-Ai fanfiction:)

Well, this story is going to be a chapter story, not a oneshot, so expect :eventual: updates. It's fluff, and it's regular Shounen-Ai. There will be no Yaoi involved. Actually, I think of the coupling in this story to be plain ol' Shounen-Ai, anyway. With fluff. :)

And at some point in this chapter, something is mentioned about peaches, because I was bored... XD Heck, if anyone wants, I'll write a side chapter showing the conversation about the missions, people, progress lately, and, well... peaches... XD :Sweatdrop:

Also, NO flaming for the couple in this story, and/or saying, "KakaIru is better!". (Besides, you're the one who clicked the link to this story... If you don't like the couple, then... :Points to random door: get out:) )

:Jabs finger: NO! It's NOT! I don't even GET that couple... But don't comment on THAT, EITHER! Unless it's by PM, which it won't be, because even if it IS, I won't respond to it. :) Yay.

Anywayz, on with the fanfiction...

If It's Love

Chapter 1: New Emotions

-----

That pit of loneliness. Darkness. Hatred…

Being uncared for, being useless… Being alone…

That's how Kakashi felt for so long. Always questioning his existence. Even when he was with his teammates and sensei, he was still unsure of how to act. There was a day, however, that was quite unlike the others. It happened during a mission. When a simple C-Rank mission turned into a B-Rank mission, if not an A-Rank mission.

He had made a mistake during the mission. Kakashi was almost killed, but Obito saved him. Kakashi had been depressed over this all through the following night, when Obito came to him in his room. It was pretty late, around 11:00. Rin was already sleeping, and their sensei was speaking with some kind people who had let the team rest in their house, until their mission was over. It was just a long, continuous mission.

"What do you want?" Kakashi asked, obviously still upset from having been saved by his teammate. Hatake Kakashi, a supposedly great Shinobi, was almost killed by making a newbie's mistake in a high ranked mission. He felt like an idiot.

"Um, are you mad at me? For… saving you?" Obito asked, gently approaching his quiet teammate.

"Well, I'd be dead if you hadn't, now wouldn't I?" Kakashi scoffed. How could he even make such a foolish mistake during such a mission?

"Kakashi, you don't have to be mad about it… Everyone makes mistakes once in a while." Obito shrugged. "Even Sensei does, I'm sure."

"Sensei is perfect. He doesn't mess up." Kakashi retorted.

"Well, he is Konoha's Yellow Flash…"

"And I'm the White Fang's son."

"What has that got to do with anything?" Obito asked, sitting on the bed to next Kakashi.

"That he was perfect to everyone, until he made a mistake. The mistake that made everyone go against him." He shook his head.

"So they were arrogant. Nothing you can do about that."

"But doesn't that make me imperfect, too? I was so perfect, and then I go and make a child's mistake."

"You still are a child." Obito laughed.

"I'm thirteen."

"Well, you're not an adult, yet. And just because thirteen is when you become a teenager, doesn't mean people can't call you a child. You're still young, Kakashi. It's not like you can't make up for your mistake."

"But I could have gotten killed." Kakashi said, disgusted. "And to make things worse, it was you who saved me."

"Hey, what's wrong with me? Do you just think I'm not good enough, 'cause I'm not a perfect genius, or something?"

"No, but you mess up too often. It could cost you your life someday."

"Always gotta think about getting killed, huh?"

"No, but there's a possibility that you could be killed during a mission."

"No, no, no… Is that all you're gonna say to me? Can't you ever agree with me?" Obito laughed. His comment made Kakashi smile a bit behind his mask. Obito was actually the one person who could make him smile and laugh. His laughs were more like small giggles, actually, so Obito could hardly tell. He actually sometimes thought Kakashi was laughing at him.

"Well, don't worry on it too long." Kakashi said.

"Me, worry? You're the one who's worrying!" Obito laughed, playfully slapping Kakashi in the head.

"Am I?"

"Sure. You're probably worrying about whether or not you're gonna make the same mistake again the next time, I'm sure. If not, you're probably worrying if you'll just make another, but different mistake, next time."

"Maybe…" Both didn't say anything for a moment, before Kakashi spoke up.

"Obito…" He said gently, moving closer to him.

"Yeah?"

"Wanna stay in my room, tonight? I'll get a mattress, and you can sleep in the bed?"

"Er, sure. Gonna have nightmares about making more mistakes?" Obito teased.

"Hey, at least I'm not one who's always making excuses for being late!" Kakashi laughed.

"Oh, you will, one day. Someday… In the future… You'll take after me and always be late. Just watch, Kakashi!"

"We'll see, won't we?"

"Sure." Both of them laughed.

Both talked for about a half hour, about anything; missions, people, their progress lately, peaches… Yes, peaches. After a while, Obito stopped, and asked, "Have you ever thought about love?"

"Huh?" Kakashi turned his head to him, half startled by the sudden question.

"I asked "Have you ever thought about love?."

"Uh, not really…"

"Not even when you're around me?"

"I just never really thought about it. Why?"

"Well, I'm usually the one you talk to, when you have a problem."

"So, what does that have anything to do with love?"

"I was hoping you might love me, I guess…"

"Hoping?"

"Sure. When it comes to you, if it's love, I'll be right there." Obito said quietly, carefully pulling Kakashi's mask down and kissing him. They stayed silent for a little while, while Obito kissed Kakashi, having nothing to say, only having something to do. Well, there was nothing better to do, than for him to show Kakashi his feelings.

Seeing Kakashi's real face under the mask wasn't what concerned Obito right at the moment. The only thing that concerned him at the time was getting Kakashi to kiss him back.

And he did exactly that.

Please read & review! Remember, this is my first Shounen-Ai, so I'm not EXPECTING it to be too great. As I said before, no flaming. Me no like flaming. Flaming bad. :)

Anyway, this story might get a little better, after I start writing more. :Notice how I said MIGHT: XD

Also, remember, this is fluff. Yay. :)

Thank you. :)

(And man, must I like the happy faces... -Sweatdrop-)
