Cradle
She'd made it very clear to him once that she could not solve all of his problems. A few she might be able to help with; most he'd have to figure out on his own; and some he'd likely live with for the rest of his life. But whichever the category, it still stood to fact that she could hardly provide any of the answers.
So on the nights when she woke up and found him sitting on the edge of the bed, head in his hands, she would merely slide over and hold him. Then to the soundless tune of a lullaby she would quietly rock, knowing she couldn't say anything to make it all go away. A soft kiss on his head without a word let him know that until they did, she would be there.
It was times like those that Kakashi wanted to tell her she was wrong, but for the sake of remaining in her arms, he never said anything either.
