#I'm having major Kakashi brainrot

[telleroftime]

Imagine a Kakashi x Reader where Reader not only owns a bookshop in Konoha but they also write their own novels. Kakashi frequents the store to scout out romance and erotica books or any limited-edition copies of the Icha-Icha series and every time he comes into the store the Reader falls more in love with him. So much so their stories grow inspired by him. The masked hero of a poweful village whose heart is sought by many and won by none.

One day Kakashi picks up a book written by the Reader, though the pen name doesn't give them away. He buys it and leaves only to return for more of the series. After a while though he starts to see the pattern. He doesn't want to be too vein but between a "silver haired cat with an all too familiar scar" and a "prince nicknamed the scarecrow" it doesn't take a genius to start assuming he's the muse.

And naturally he tasks himself with the mission to find the author. Like Prince Charming searching for Cinderella, going from bookstore to bookstore to find the author.

And the possibilities from there on are great.

Maybe the Reader gets sick and suddenly there's less books being written and Kakashi pieces together that the owner of the bookshop that suddenly displayed "be back soon" must be the poet.

Maybe the Reader hears rumours from other writers and publishers that Kakashi has suddenly taken an interest in them, only to start teasing him in their stories. A game of cat and mouse between words.

Maybe Kakashi simply finds the Reader writing, studying a specific scene to incorporate into their novel and instantly Kakashi knows who they are.

Ah the possibilities.
