…..Several minutes had past…..
A strong gust came in throughout his room sending his curtains flying up in the air. Obito continued on,
screaming and moaning into his pillow. His eyes were closed shut and all he could feel was the
steaming tears emit from his eyes. But he didn't acknowledge the fact that Kakashi had been there
sitting on his window for quite some time, he was paralyzed by the tragic feeling of isolation and being
unloved. Kakashi was staring at him in awe for a moment, paused, then spoke
"Obito…..?" he asked in a stammered tone, but whispering not to startle him.
His heart dropped and turned his head slowly. Obito didn't expect to see him there. His eyes were so
red and puffed up from crying so much. Kakashi stared at him for a few moments, still awestruck and
seeing Obito like this, he's always so goofy and happy so this was so unexpected. He then broke the
silence.
"What happened, why were you crying"
sounding more concerned and caring, which Obito took a surprise, Kakashi plopped himself on his bed
now sitting not next to him, but close enough.
Obito jumped up right away rubbing his eyes and gave off an unconfident chuckle
"I'm not crying, something got in my eye, and it was really bad this time….. heheh"
Obito's voice cracked. Kakashi was staring back at Obito now. Again more silence.
"Well… exactly how long were you here….."
giving in a little, Obito conceded giving off a crooked smile that couldn't even fool the more challenged of people.
"Long enough" he replied
. Obito couldn't keep his lips straight, his eyes were unable to meet Kakashi's and felt like he was going
to have another outburst of grievance. The Jounin boy got up, his arms wrapped around him abruptly,
holding him close and tight. It felt so warm and good but Obito still tried to pull away. Holding him
closer to silence his words, Kakashi hesitated to speak.
"I'm sorry you're going through this Obito."
Stopping for a second, he felt something build up in his throat not being used to these kind of things,
but got brave enough to finish
"I Know what you're going through"
These words silenced Obito. This jerk, stupid dumb face, asshole, ladies man, indecent closet pervert
was acting so different which stunned him, It took a moment to process all of this through his head, but
Obito actually appreciated this moment and it felt so good to feel like someone cared. But the simple short words that were spoken to him to embrace the white-Haired Jounin boy back.
"Thank you Kakashi..."
...Silence arose for a few moments, which had felt like minutes...
Kakashi pulled away from the hug, because all the hugging started to get to awkward for him to
handle. Obito's eyes looked swollen and all the dry tears left a trail down his cheek. He breathed,
releasing a gasp of breath and slightly smirked feeling better.
"You better not say anything to anyone about this"
Kakashi implied with a smile visible through his mask. The mood of the Uchiha was more elevated
and it was as if he was never sad. After all the crying, he felt an uplifting feeling course all throughout
his chest that he couldn't even help but to make a ridiculous noise. It was an embarrassing noise but it
made them both laugh.
"Don't worry Kakashi, my lips are sealed"
Still laughing Obito gesturing an invisible key across his lip, and giving off his famous big goofy smile he
was known for. Kakashi felt odd in a way showing of his more 'sentimental' side to Obito, slightly
regretting it, but not in a bad way. At least Obito isn't making it uncomfortable in conversation. He just
feels too... exposed about it.
"Thank you again Kakashi... really I don't know what to say"
The rain can now be heard from outside, like there were bullets shooting at the roof of his house, the
wind was howling and the curtains continued to blow all over the room. They could feel the light
sprinkles of rain touch their cheeks from outside the window.
"You're Welcome"
He said, shutting his eyes smiling; now not regretting the feeling of being exposed as much.
Changing the conversation he started
"Oh yea and Obito, I came to tell you we have a mission tomorrow, today was canceled because of the storm that's passing"
"Mission? What mission!? Oh yeeeaaaah... I forgot we were supposed to have a mission today"
He replied putting his left foot behind his right with arms behind his head. "Attempting" to show off and act cool he fell backwards in the process of it and the back of his head hit the floor. Clumsy as always.
" ow!Owww!ow!"
he yelped getting up gently touching the lump that was left on his head.
"So what's mission, ugghh don't tell me, is it somethin' dumb again?!"
he continued rubbing his head and listed to his team-mate
"I wouldn't say necessarily dumb... well yea it's kinda, um how to put this…."
He pinched his fingers on the bridge of his eyebrows squinting his eyes he looked back up at Obito
"We have to go help that granny again with her garden"
Kakashi answered.
"Ughh NO WAY! come ooonn, again?! Its gunna be like, 100 degrees tomorrow!Why not on a day that's not so hot, and she complains soooo damn much!she dosen't ever shut the HELL up! You sure we have to do this!? Stop messing with me. I really hope it's a joke, I know deep down inside YOU don't want to go either, now tell me wrong Ka-Ka-Shi?!"
Obito complained and putting emphasis on his name in a mocking way. Kakashi sighed at the sight if
the carefree, irresponsible, outgoing Obito he knew, but he definitely preferred to see his annoying
antics instead of him mourning and crying. In a nonchalant tone he began to speak again
"I'm afraid so, that's what Minato-Sensei told me"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok, fine fine, what time though so I can be ready at least"
"9 'o' clock A.m."
Obito conceded on felling quite pissed, he was about to prattle on but Kakashi cut him off
"Try to be EARLY! E-A-R-L-Y!" He said it sternly letter by letter, poking his Obito's forehead white each syllable.
"You know how much of a pain in the ASS that granny can be"
Obito nodded his head, keeping his complaints to himself. Puckering his lips as he clucked
"I knowww I knooow my oh great master Kakashi"
he put his hands together and bent forward as if he were giving praise and worship to him.
"Obito really! ON TIME. Seriously. Don't be late"
and in an instant Kakashi dashed out the window into the pouring rain and thunder.
Obito went to the window and could see Kakashi getting farther and farther away, jumping from house
to house. He gazed out his window, rain hitting his face. The rain was so heavy it was hard to see from
a distance, it almost looked like a thick fog. He all of a sudden realized it seemed like he never was sad
or crying. He actually felt happy, and maybe also due to the fact he let a lot out. He lay on his bed
ecstatic, feeling quite airy. And boy did that feel good after all that damned depressive crying. He took
the picture of him, Rin, Kakashi and Sensei off his dresser. He looked at it again for a small amount of
time then taking the tape of Kakashi's face and held it to his chest. He closed his eyes and the thought
of Kakashi made him pause and actually feel cared by someone even if it wasn't his beloved Rin. He still
couldn't believe Kakashi was somewhat sensitive, well that he wasn't the heartless bastard he thought
he was. But he was somewhat sensitive, and he cared. He didn't question his actions though. His
blissful thinking made Obito smile and drift into his deep slumber, the picture frame still close to his
chest.
