Toying With The Past Is What We Do
Chapter Fifteen
Can We Play Dress Up?
Kakashi drags Obito into his house after countless hours of begging from his father. The man wants nothing more than another visit by his son's best friend. He had forgotten how crazy his old man was before that notorious mission, but after a few days, he realizes Sakumo could give Gai's father a run for his money- at least, if daddy dearest ever showed his true colors outside the comfort of their little abode.
And unfortunately for Obito, the man had no problem acting normal in front of him.
He watches as his father tackles the time-travelling Uchiha into a hug with the grace of a drunken fool, rubbing his cheek against the crown of Obito's head and cooing as one does to a beloved pet. Aware of the other boy's temperament, he's certain Obito is barely tolerating such patronizing behavior.
Kakashi, after reveling in the hilarious scene before him, saves Obito from suffocation, reminding his father about the gifts he had bought with his best friend in mind.
It is only moments later he realizes he should have snuck a peek at the items his father had brought home, if nothing else, to at least forewarn Obito of his imminent mortification.
Sakumo looks so proud of himself when he flourishes a baby blue sailor uniform, and just the sight of its signature striped hat and mini-shorts makes Kakashi fall to his knees from uncontrollable snickers.
"For Tobi-chan," his father proudly declares.
He glances at Obito and snorts – Obito seems to be in so much shock. He can't even react apart from his already horror-filled eyes.
The gushing from his father continues as he then pulls out a black shirt and pants littered with tiny Uchiha fans. He proceeds to display the phrase etched into the top's fabric – Brooding Uchiha-sama – and merrily says, "And this is for our moody Madara-chan!"
Kakashi dies then, pounding the wooden floors when Obito lets out a wail, bemoaning into his hands.
His father mistakes it as an excited response, evident in the way he cries out, "I'm so glad you love them, Obi-chan!" with happy tears running down his face.
When Sakumo walks them to the Academy the next day, Obito does a walk of shame, head down to avoid the stares and whispers and the unhidden laughter of his classmates. Beside him, Kakashi whistles with hands in his pockets, every now and then giggling when his eyes meet baby blue.
Who knew Obito would look so adorable in a sailor suit?
