Chapter 7

Five weeks after receiving the letter Obito managed to get a mission near the Sand Village.

The mission was the first priority, of course, but he managed to finish that in record time so that he could visit Rin and Madara. He figured he could stay with them at least one night, maybe two if he ran the majority of the way home.

He easily found his way to their small house and knocked on the door.

"Obito!" Rin exclaimed happily when she opened the door. "Madara! Obito's here!" She called into the house before pulling Obito into a tight hug that was angled a bit odd because of her stomach's new size.

"Good to see you too." Obito said cheerfully, hugging her back. "You know, if things aren't working with you and my brother, we could run away together. I'd be a great dad." He added with a teasing tone, pulling back enough to wink at her.

"Stop trying to steal my wife, Obito. You don't see me trying to take men away from you." Madara said good naturedly, having come up behind Rin at some point during the hug, while Rin laughed.

"Just men as a whole? All of them? That would be a little hard to do. But I think I could do it better than you. I'll have you know I was the favorite in the village even before you guys left, so clearly I'm the best candidate to get all of the men." Obito declared, pulling Madara into the hug as well.

"Only because you look like me." Madara countered.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Obito said dismissively, letting go of them to step back and take a look. "Besides, I'm sure all of the men want to be enjoyed, and of the two of us, I think I'm more wired for that."

Madara still looked like him, so no change there, but Rin had a big bulge where her stomach used to be flat.

"You sure you don't want to raise that baby with me? With your good looks and mine you'll need someone who can actually fight to protect her from all the people who will be falling over themselves just to catch a glimpse of her." Obito told her.

"My good looks, you mean." Madara corrected.

"You only look good because you look like me." Obito informed him.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Madara mocked.

"Look who's developed a sense of humor!" Obito said with over dramatic shock, raising his hand to clutch his heart for more effect. "So, are you two going to let me in, or are we all just going to stand in your doorway. Not that doorway parties aren't cool or anything." He added, adopting a more casual tone.

They all went inside and found places to sit in the living room. Obito took a chair while Madara and Rin shared a couch.

"So, how long can you stay?" Madara asked once they were settled in.

"One or two nights."

"Two." Rin said immediately.

Obito laughed, but nodded. "Two it is."

"Why was that even a question?" Madara asked with amusement.

"I don't know. You two could have been busy." Obito shrugged.

"Never too busy for you." Madara told him, rolling his eyes fondly at his brother.

"Jealous? Of you?" Kakashi scoffed at the notion.

"Not of me. Of the guy I was talking to." Obito corrected.

"Oh, I'm sure." Kakashi said sarcastically, giving Obito an eye role full of contempt.

"It's understandable. You heard me talking about going to bed with him. But getting jealous of that implies that you like me." Obito said, smirking.

"Or, I didn't need you disappearing with a possible accomplice." Kakashi countered.

The logic didn't throw Obito for even a moment. "That I contacted when? You've hardly let me out of your sight. Even putting that aside, accomplice in what? You said you believed that I didn't do anything."

"Just because you didn't kill anyone, doesn't mean you aren't planning on running off. For all I know, while I'm left here thinking that you're fucking some guy you just met, you could be getting as far away from me as you can to go find your brother by yourself."

"Sounds too complicated." Obito said loftily, waving the idea off with an unimpressed look. "Especially since I turned down his offer to go to bed with him." Obito crossed his arms over his chest. "Which you might have known if you hadn't barged over there like a jealous boyfriend demanding we leave."

That seemed to at least give Kakashi some pause. "You weren't going to go with him." It came out more like a statement than a question, which was odd since Kakashi had a questioning look on the half of his face that Obito could see.

"He opened up with a comment about how I don't look half bad after grabbing me on my way past him while he was also wasted. No, I was not going to sleep with him. If you're going to eaves drop, do it right."

"You certainly acted like you were planning on going with him when I came over. And I was not acting like a jealous boyfriend." The last part was added like an after thought.

"Sure you weren't." Obito said, sarcasm dripping from his tone.

"Would you just drop it and shut up?" Kakashi sounded rather irritated as he asked.

"Make me." Obito challenged.

And it seemed that Kakashi intended to do just that.

With a few quick steps Kakashi was in front of him, cupping Obito's face between his hands and pressing their lips together, the mask having come off somewhere in that process. And Kakashi did have a perfectly normal, handsome but still normal, face under it. Obito really didn't understand the big deal with the mask.

Obito smiled against Kakashi's mouth before he started kissing back, parting his lips slightly and wrapping his arms around Kakashi's shoulders.

"Oh, you better hope I'm not actually a serial killer." Obito said with a small laugh after Kakashi pulled his mouth away with a nip to Obito's bottom lip.

"You talk too much." Kakashi remarked as he trailed his lips along Obito's jawline and down to his neck, Obito tilting his head to give him better access.

"A personality trait I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with." He replied, pulling away from Kakashi and moving towards the bed.

"I'll see what I can do about that." Kakashi said, following after him with a grin.

Obito decided he didn't mind being shut up.
