"So how would the pity sex go?" Obito asks. Rin considers.
"Well. I assume you wouldn't date anyone, so you'd still be a virgin." She grins wickedly. "Kind of like it was now-"
"You were a virgin too, you don't get to make fun of me."
"I was dead, I was haunting you."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Hmm, and let's see. After I'd be done having pity sex with you, I'd probably sleep next to you, and you'd be really cuddly...And, let's see...we'd probably have sex again in the morning. And it'd probably feel good and I'd probably want to do it again, and I probably wouldn't want to have sex with anyone else, and that's how you'd end up dating me."
"You really have this all thought out."
"Uh huh."
"So would this be straightforward or a tortured friends-with-benefits thing?"
Rin considers. "If you told me you loved me, I'd probably tell you I loved you too. Even if I didn't feel it because I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings."
"Ouch," Obito says. Rin giggles against him.
"I'd trust that I'd start loving you eventually." Rin hugs him, smiling. "Maybe I'd figure it out after a few weeks of dating."
"So pity sex, pity date...pity marriage?"
"Probably."
"Is it strange that I'm not offended?"
"Why aren't you offended?" Rin asks. Obito considers.
"Because I was a pain in the ass. I'd just be happy knowing that you cared that much for me."
"That's because you had low self-esteem."
"So then we'd have a pity baby?"
Rin laughs. "Probably."
They kiss. She feels him grin against her mouth, laughing quietly.
"I wish we could have sex," Rin says. She nestles against him.
"Rin?"
"Yeah?"
"You really were my best friend."
"Mine too," Rin says. She smiles at him.
