Sometimes Obito thinks about just grabbing Rin and kissing her.
He does this a lot, actually – making up different scenarios inside his mind about what would happen if he did it one day. Would she be disgusted by it or would she kiss him back? Would she like it or would she hate it? These questions plague him with each fantasy he has about her; unanswerable, taunting him with what ifs' that keep him guessing all the time.
What would Rin do if he just grabbed her and kissed her one day?
Sometimes, he thinks about doing it – and she'd gasp from the brazen, unexpected move, but then slowly start to kiss him back. They would slowly pull away from each other, blushes adorning their faces and he'd say something cool, and Rin would giggle at his joke, smiling cutely at him.
Then he would say: I like you, Rin-chan.
And she's say it back.
Sometimes, the happily ever after doesn't happen, though. Those daydreams usually happen after a bad mission or when he watches Rin pin after Kakashi during training. It's the same theme: he kisses her on a whim and it progresses from there. She might kiss him back and confess her love for him, or she might not. Instead of loving or kissing him back, she pushes him away and whispers corrosive words that sound so strange coming from her sweet voice.
I like Kakashi-kun, not you, Obito-san.
It hurts when he has those daydreams – which are more like nightmares, really – and he can't stop them. They come and go; some good, some bad, each of them different, but the theme is the same. He kisses her and she either likes him back or doesn't. Really, it's simple when he thinks about it.
(Only, it's not.)
What would she do if he actually does it one day?
"What are you thinking about, Obito-san?"
The suddenness of her voice (that sounds so much better in real life than in his daydreams) was completely unexpected. Startled, he jumps a little when she sits beside him, laughing softly at his embarrassing display of nerves. His face burns scarlet at her close proximity, but he tries to feign ignorance to her question.
"I-I wasn't thinking about a-anything, Rin-chan – h-honest!" he says hurriedly, wiping furiously at his cheeks to cool them down.
Rin giggles (why does it have to sound so cute?) and nods, "if you say so…"
"I-I do!"
She nods and turns away from him, watching the rest of Minato's and Kakashi's spar, leaving her profile completely open. He openly stares, taking in everything from her brown hair framing her face to the gentle curve of her nose, the soft protruding outline of her lips, the red markings on her pale cheek, down to the sharp drop of her chin to her neck, and back to her lips once again.
She's beautiful.
He swallows thickly as the sudden urge to lean over and kiss her becomes almost too much to bare. Her pale pink lips look so inviting stretched out in a soft smile…
She turns to him then, catching in him the act. He blushes profusely and tries to apologize for staring so openly, when he glances in her eyes and catches the amusement shining through the endless pools of brown that always seem to captivate him.
His breath catches in his throat when she smiles playfully at him, sending his heart into a panicked frenzy and igniting his cheeks. He must look like a tomato by now, but being so close to Rin always did that to him.
One day he might actually do it – just reach over and kiss her. She might push him away, tell him that she doesn't have the same feelings for him – and it would hurt, of course it would – but he wouldn't mind. At least he got to kiss her, right? And besides, she could also kiss him back, and return his feelings.
Who knew what she might do?
(Rin was kind of hard to read behind those soft smiles and cute grins.
But just sitting right beside her was way better than any fantasy could ever be.)
