kakashi hatake

You met him at the academy; he was a great prodigy, Kakashi was THE prodigy of the academy. You met him when he was just a child. He noticed you not as one of the girls who always admired him and were crazy about him and applauded everything he did, but as a calm girl who admired him silently, with a sparkle in her eyes and a warm smile.

You saw him as a normal human being, you admired and appreciated him, you shared silences, you sat together and shared certain words, but it always felt like a warm embrace

They were on different teams, but they always met up. They rarely went out to eat, they shared glances and smiles, and even helped each other despite their teammates getting angry with them.

Everything changed after Rin and Obito died. His eyes no longer had that calm sparkle they usually had; there was a guilty, sad look in them. He refused to go out, feeling like everyone was looking at him like a monster. You supported him. In the first few days, you left food outside his house, respecting his wish not to see anyone. Food, clean clothes, Icha Icha books—that's what you always left for him. Weeks later, he let you in, seeing how his room was a mess, just like his soul. You didn't let him fall apart. You made a copy of his key, left him groceries, did his laundry, cleaned his apartment, and cooked for him. Even though he didn't say it, he loved you and silently begged you not to leave his life.

One night you went to his apartment; it was his birthday. He had gone on a mission, so you stayed at his apartment to make him dinner, a cake, and the new Icha Icha books as another gift. He came in and saw the gift, felt it like a warm hug, and just hugged you, and you felt tears on your clothes.
