I was in a good mood and decided I wanted to write something vaguely ObiRin. This was the result. Just a fluffy little oneshot about Obito and Rin watching over camp together, not sure what else to say about it. This'll be the first one of a series. Pre-Kakashi Gaiden, though future stories might be Post-Kakashi Gaiden.


Shooting Star

"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

'That's not the beautiful thing.' Thought Obito in response to his cute female teammate's comment. "Yeah" he said in the same lighthearted tone she used as the pair stared up at the night sky. It was their turn to watch over the camp while Kakashi and Minato slept. Rin seemed to be enjoying the night in a cute way of hers and Obito was grateful for the time alone together.

Obito tried not to stare at her as Rin closed her eyes and let out a deep breath, leaning further against the tree they both rested against. "This is so relaxing," she stated with a dreamy smile. Obito guessed she meant not having to listen to Kakashi bickering with him or deal with the troubles of war. It was a wonderful sight to see Rin the content, one that he didn't get often. And they were alone, that made everything better.

'Tell her!' The thought seemingly came out of nowhere, but it was right. This was his chance to admit to Rin how he really felt. They were alone, she looked happy, and it was a perfect opportunity. And maybe, just maybe, if she knew how he felt she might stop liking Kakashi and turn her affections on him.

"R-Rin?" She turned her head to look at him, seemingly concerned. He figured it was only natural due to his sudden shyness.

"Yeah?" She said in a somewhat worried tone.

"I… I-"

Rin interrupted him, much to his surprise. She grabbed his wrist and pulled them both upright. "Look! A shooting star!" Just as the words started to leave her lips a beautiful blaze of white shot across the sky.

"Amazing…" the young Uchiha muttered as the star blazed across the sky. The two stood, Rin still holding Obito's wrist, and watched the last traces of the tail fade into blackness.

"Make a wish!" Rin proclaimed and quickly released his wrist, clasped her hands together with interlocking fingers and closed her eyes. After a moment of watching the medic, Obito did the same. 'I wish… For the courage to tell her… And the strength to beat Kakashi…'

"What cha' wish for Rin?"

"I can't tell you or it won't come true!"

"Oh… Yeah."

"So what were you going to say?"

'This is your chance!' Obito thought, his gaze going from Rin to his shoes. He wanted to tell her, he had to tell her before it was too late! He took a deep breath.

"I… I-"

"Rin, go get some sleep, Obito and I'll guard for the rest of the night." 'WHEN DID HE GET HERE?' Obito thought angrily as he was cut off by that stick-in-the-mud, so called genius, show-off, Kakashi!

"Okay!" replied the medic a little too cheerfully as she walked to where her sleeping bag lay next to Kakashi's now empty one.

"Geez, Kakashi! Why do you have to ruin everything?" Obito demanded while raising a fist to Kakashi. The silver-haired boy only raised an eyebrow.
