Kakashi Hatake

It's been a couple of years since Kakashi became your sensei. He was always kind and sarcastic, but his comments always managed to bring a smile to your face. Without even realizing it, a year ago you understood that you were deeply in love with him. The way he helped you, guided you, and took care of you made you love him more every day. However, fear paralyzed you. You weren't worried about what people would say regarding the age difference, but you did fear that he didn't feel the same way.

On a recent mission, while your team and Kakashi were sleeping, you decided to walk toward a nearby lagoon, trapped in your thoughts. As you gazed at the water, you heard footsteps behind you.

—What's wrong? —Kakashi asked in his calm voice.

You turned around, seeing him there, with that gaze that always brought you peace. It was the perfect moment to confess your feelings, but fear made you hesitate. Would you risk everything, or would you stay silent, hiding that love in your heart forever?
