Different chapter one
(All thoughts are Gai's)
I walked around the empty training grounds, trying to clear my mind. Being a ninja is a hard and stressful job. It really wears you down after a while. Couldn't I have picked a better job? One where killing people isn't in the job description!? Oh well, I guess it's too late for that... Maybe if I wasn't so different... Is that kakashi siting all alone over there? I haven't seen him in a while! I should challenge him! wait.. Is he crying?
"Kakashi? Are you ok?" I say
He tries to wipe away any evidence of his tears and when he finally looks over to me with swollen eyes, My heart falls. What i can see of his face, that's not covered by his mask, Is red and swollen from all the crying. I have never seen him cry before. Does he do this a lot? He lots so depressed. Who every did this to kakashi deserves the eight gate used on them! I scoop Kakashi into a "I'm here for you" hug and he starts sobbing into my shoulder. All I want to do is stop the pain he's feeling... For the man I've loved for so many years to be happy..
"It's ok Kakashi, I'm here" I say in a quiet voice
Kakashi cries for a good minute, soaking the shoulder of my jumpsuit. I rub his back, and pet his hair, anything to stop the tears.. He's so beautiful, even when he cries... This would be one of the moments I dread, the moments when I know I'm different. All I want to do right is take his face in my hands, wipe away his tears, and kiss him... But I know it's wrong. I'm not suppose to love a man the way I love Kakashi.. I guess I'll always be different...
"Gai?" Kakashi says in a harsh voice for the crying
"Yes, My eternal rival?" I say back
"Thank you, for everything.." He says as he tightens his arms around me. Bringing us even closer to each other.
I could stay like this forever.. With my love safely in my arms. Protected from anything that could hurt him... I am such a hopeless romantic. Kakashi loosens his arms and pushes away to look at me. The evidence of any crying is slowly disappearing from his eyes. Both his eye and the sharingan look at me.
"Can I ask you something Gai?" He asks
"Of course! Anything!" I answer right away
"Is being different a bad thing?" He asks
I think for a moment...
"In some situations it can be. For example! If you are trying to hide and your different then your surroundings then you'll get found!" I answer
finally Kakashi smiles a bit and chuckles. I frown at him, confused by his laughter.
"That's not really what I meant Gai. I meant more on the lines of socially different more than physically different." Kakashi explained
"Socially different?" I ask wondering what he means
"Lets just say I think differently about an important subject then everyone else. Is that bad to do?" Kakashi says
"No! That's not bad! Everyone has the right to think what they want! I answer back
"Are you for sure about that? Even if the different subject I think about is taboo to some people?" He asks
"Other people have no business in your business! If they don't like the way you are, then they need to get over it! It's not youthful to judge people." I say
Kakashi smiles at me from under the mask. I wish I could see his face, I bet his smile is amazing.
"I'm going to tell you a secret." Kakashi says
"Wow! you've never told me any of your secrets before!" I say
"There's a first time for everything right?" Kakashi says
"Yep! Now whats the secret!?" I say
"First, I have to ask you not to tell anyone else this secret. It's really important that this just stays between you and me." He says
"Your secret is save with me! If I do tell anyone, I'll run to the moon and back a million times!" I proudly say
"Well..." Kakashi starts "I like boys the way I should like girls... You know like romantically"
He looks at me waiting of an answer but I am lost for words. This is like a dream come true! Maybe we... Maybe we could...
"Gai? Are you ok?... It's wrong isn't? Maybe I need to stop thinking like this, there must be something wron-" I interrupt Kakashi mid-sentence
"No there is nothing wrong with you!" I say very seriously
"Really?" Kakashi asks surprised
"Yes, because I too feel romantic toward the male gender..." I confess
I am so happy I was able to finally get that off my chest, it was like a billion pound weight! Kakashi looks at me baffled.
"How do you know?" he asks me
"I've just always been attracted to males, even when I was younger.." I answer
"Who have you liked?" Kakashi asks curiously
"I've only liked one man my entire life." I say
"Who is he" he asks
"You" I confess
