The Fox of burden: Yes, Gai was indeed exaggerating.
I don't think Kishimoto considers Kakashi to be an albino; otherwise he probably would have mentioned it by now. It just seemed logical to me; with his white hair, snowy skin, and mask it just seemed to make sense.
No, I'm afraid this is not leading up to how he got the Sharingan. I am however thinking about making a prequel to this fic in which Kakashi receives his Sharingan, so I think you can expect that sometime this summer break.
And yes, I've realized that the link isn't there. grumble grumble Stupid ff.net...... It won't allow links you see, so.......
I would never give people a false link on purpose!
Grrrrrrrr.....
Ho'kay! Next!

A/N: It isn't mentioned here, but one of Kakashi's reasons for wearing his mask is to cover as much as his face as possible. Because albinos have little to no pigment in their skin, they can't tan; they only sunburn. As an albino, Kakashi probably wouldn't be very interested in walking around with his face peeling all the time, so he chose the mask.
Then he got the Sharingan, and pulled his head protector down, leaving one quarter of his face uncovered; and that's easily dealt with by putting on sunscreen.
So. There you go.

"Someone was very talkative today," Kakashi murmured against Gai's ear.
Gai's face tightened and his hold on Kakashi's waist grew snugger. "Naruto was being a real--"
"Yes, I know--"
"So you can imagine how I felt."
"Yes."
"Well then. There you go."
There was silence for a long while. Gai buried his face into Kakashi's thick hair. Kakashi wrapped his arms more securely around Gai's shoulders.
Finally Kakashi said, "I paid my price. So did you."
Gai traced the scar covering Kakashi's Sharingan. The jounin closed his eye obliging as his lover's fingers gently ran over his eyelid.
"At what cost," he asked sadly.
Kakashi said nothing. What could he say?
Instead he kissed Gai, gently and without any demand for his own.
It was a long while before either went to sleep, plagued by their memories.
