It is a cool, crippled look from the silver haired teen that breaks down all of the Yondaime's walls, that makes the fated man close his eyes and clench his teeth (because the look hurts like death and he loves Kakashi not).
Loves him - not.
The chill of painful not-understanding comes from the powerful young ANBU, and Kakashi does love the blonde Hokage so. He adores him. He kisses him suddenly, but the Yondaime has been growing more distant for so very many passing seconds that the aching gap between them is too far to bridge and their words echo in the cold.
"I love you!" And it's a hoarsely pleading shout, a desperate (isn't my love enough, sensei?).
"I know." (no, it's not. not anymore, and you should stop now, kakashi.)
Not understanding that these aren't the magic words, never having used them before: "But I - I love you. I'd die for you!" (i will end in thousands of painful ways that don't matter to me as long as you're safe.)
Not opening tired blue eyes - the Kyuubi is three too-short days away from his beautiful Konoha - while quietly voicing an equally tired reply to the ANBU who has always been too perfect a ninja: "Yes." (and that's why it's not enough. you're not enough.) "But you wouldn't live for me."

A/N: Something short I scribbled up. Look, guys, I'm going to be posting pretty inconsistently. My best friend was in a very bad car wreck a few days ago, and this is the second time I've been online since then. Wait, is today Sunday? More than a few days. Time goes funny in the evil clutches of the hospital, huh? Anyway, I'm hoping she'll get out of ICU for Xmas, but I doubt it.
So, distract me! Tell me what you think of this little drabble-y thing. I know Kakashi's a little weird - not mellow and uncaring - but he's a teenager in love with a man who will die very shortly who still refuses to accept said kid's love. I love Yondaime/Kakashi fics, but I'm almost completely incapable of writing happy endings unless they're humor. If you know any good Y/K fics, tell me! Please! Leave me pretty reviews for when I next get a chance to check my inbox. (Yes, this is shameless begging. My friends aren't letting me get drunk and I'm not writing well at the moment. I need a distraction from horrific medical terms and will-she-lives.)
