Crumbles to the Ground

Summary: The rules: 50 prompt words, one to be used per sentence. I accept with my own little condition: it must loosely flow like a story. You become the judge, how did I do?

Disclaimer: I'm not Kishimoto Masashi impersonating a fan-girl so he can write his own gay-fluff. If it worked that way…

01 Ring

Gai fingered the box that held the proposal ring as his mind wandered Kakashi and his past to avoid the present situation.

02 Hero

Gai had grown up across from Kakashi and his father but suffered from hero-worship and was too shy to talk to either back then.

03 Memory

The White Fang's suicide had been like a nightmare; because Gai knew it had been a last-ditch effort to support his son financially which meant the village had turned on one of her children.

04 Box

Gai wanted to cry when he realized he had crumbled the little black box during distress remembering his betrayed role-model.

05 Run

Gai realized he should run if he wanted to be on-time to their agreed meeting destination.

06 Hurricane

"Moron, you didn't have to blow in here like a hurricane because you are early."

07 Wings

Kakashi and Gai chatted about what it would be like to have wings as they sipped lukewarm tea.

08 Cold

What seemed like seconds later Gai sipped his tepid tea only to find it stone cold.

09 Red

Kakashi, Gai decided, look best bathed in the gold and maroon ribbons of the sun setting.

10 Drink

Despite having just had tea Kakashi offered to take Gai back to his place for more drinks.

11 Midnight

Their verbose voices rose and fell amongst a sea of belly of laughs when the knowledge it was the middle of the night struck Gai.

12 Temptation

Proposing had been so tempting to Gai this morning, but now that it was so late he was losing the nerve to go through with it.

13 View

Kakashi struck many appealing views but the concerned one on that single eye certainly had to be the most alluring and terrifying.

14 Music

"As great as this chit-chat has been, even that ridiculous musical you insisted on; but you've been terrified all fucking night; care to share?"

15 Silk

Kakashi's silky voice shouldn't make Gai feel like he wasn't the brave Green Beast Konoha depends upon.

16 Cover

Gai knew he couldn't lie to save his precious nephew's life much like pull a cover story out of his ass to placate Kakashi and simply clammed up.

17 Promise

An awkward silence destroyed the gay atmosphere and Gai left promising one day to explain.

18 Dream

His rivalry with Kakashi that was a real-life 'dream come true' now no longer since that night and Gai simply couldn't find the guts to explain why.

19 Candle

While searching for his emergency candles Gai literally collided with the man he had both longed for and dreaded meeting.

20 Talent

The sheer skill Kakashi used to subdue the enraged Green Beast was not lost on him and Gai truly was becoming terrified.

21 Silence

"I'm really beginning to hate these silences of yours Maito so speak already."

22 Journey

"I don't think I can; there are many quests I can accomplish but this journey just isn't in me."

23 Fire

"Where the hell is your fire?"

24 Strength

"Where is your precious inner strength and youth?"

25 Mask

"Not on my face like yours, Hatake!"

26 Ice

By now the guilt had frozen Gai's heart and he couldn't even try to thaw it to cry over.

27 Fall

"Do not mock me over his fall!"

28 Forgotten

"I do not mock the pain that has not healed, but the love that becomes forgotten!"

29 Dance

"Whatever, let's not waltz around the subject!"

30 Body

At that Gai panicked and forced his body into action as he writhed furiously for release.

31 Sacred

Gai knew the moment it happened and kept his eyes averted from Kakashi's sacred sanctity; the lower half of his face.

32 Farewells

What bittersweet fortune snaps Kakashi out of his inquisitions and they part without words of pardon or good-byes.

33 World

The delicate world had come crashing down and the Green Beast finally had to acknowledge it was entirely his fault.

34 Formal

Whispers were pronounced amongst the Jounin since the first day Gai and Kakashi spoke so formally and distantly to one another.

35 Fever

His heart remained frigid but his body had rebuked and heated up in an attempt save Gai's failing heart.

36 Laugh

Gai's morning exercises were interrupted when he thought he heard Kakashi laugh when there was no one there.

37 Lies

Kurenai looked Gai dead in the eye when she accused him of lying to Kakashi and breaking promises.

38 Forever

Gai retorted and stated 'one day' could be forever away but it wasn't tomorrow.

39 Overwhelmed

It was overwhelming how many sided with Kakashi's side of the story and Gai couldn't fathom why but perceived his silent just punishment.

40 Whisper

Nothing was more humiliating when Lee whispered he heard what had occurred between the two eternal rivals.

41 Wait

After that Gai decided he had to corner Kakashi and teach him a lesson about waiting for people to open up in their own time.

42 Talk

"Like you have room to talk, Maito, I waited three years to find out when you loved me too."

43 Search

Gai scrutinized Kakashi's masked face and the obvious horror made him realize Kakashi had for the first time spoken without thinking.

44 Hope

The words revived the hope in Gai's breast and the Green Beast pulled his eternal rival into a bone crushing hug whilst he cried tears of relief.

45 Eclipse

What really stunned Gai and eclipsed the entirety of the event was that it was Kakashi to stutteringly propose instead of the other way around.

46 Gravity

Inundated Gai tipped over as gravity brought him to his ass.

47 Highway

"I don't know what freeway your brain just took but laughing at a proposal is fucking rude!"

48 Unknown

Everything since Gai first attempted to propose burst forth and clued Kakashi in on what he hadn't known.

49 Lock

Since their 'marital spat' as Anko called it ended the eternal rivals might as well have been padlocked together.

50 Breathe

It was equally as entertaining to see how much easier Konoha breathed after the eternal rivals married.

CR~ Very...angsty, out of character, and flat. Kind of funny too if you squint just right. Please, tell me the sentence you liked best! I'm very interested in what has captured your attention! Also, who would you like to see done?
