There's an old post of yours where you said you don't like reading romance fics where kakashi is ooc so what is your opinion on obikaka fics because obito is the only character that kakashi deeply connected to in a too personal way (or I say a bit romantic too (biased)😝) while nrt ssk skr are like his children ,guy and Yamato are like his bros, and iruka is basically a stranger man I can't stand it why do people ship them anyway so what are your breakdown on obikaka and other kks ships?

I’m not gonna say that Kakashi is only deeply connected with Obito in a personal way. Gai is the one who stick with Kakashi from the start and in the end whom Kakashi chose to spend his retirement days with plus counting flashback, Gai is also Kakashi’s preferred companion to hang out. Yamato is the one who saw Kakashi through the darkest era of Kakashi’s life, a.k.a ANBU era, and as the result, Kakashi trusts him to help him on shady parts that Gai is unable too, for example to snuck Naruto out of Konoha so he can meet Raikage (and monitor Orochimaru too, perhaps). They both along with Obito belong in different spots in Kakashi’s life and I think they’re all personal for Kakashi.

Indeed in my strictly personal interpretation, in Kakashi’s heart there are high thrones reserve for his “Heroes”, a.k.a the one who has his deep respect and change his philosophy. 2 people who reside in that thrones are Sakumo, his admired father, and Obito, whom he shaped his ninja way. Also with two of them Kakashi bared his soul open and admit that “he’s hurting” toward them. But as you can see, since Sakumo is also on that list, so that doesn’t mean those who resides in Kakashi’s thrones are romantically loved by Kakashi.

I think in canon Kakashi never ever gave implication that he loved anyone romantically. The reason why I don’t really like reading Kakashi romantic fic is because there are certain scenes that were almost exist in every romantic scenario but personally I just can’t see Kakashi have them. Those traits are :

1. Jealousy/Possessiveness

Not to be confused with protectiveness. Kakashi is protective, but I don’t see him as possessive. He, kinda, never demands or expresses explicit want for someone to stay on his side and his side alone. He told Rin that Obito is in love with her, then peacefully send Obito off to join Rin in afterlife. He has no problem with Yamato leading his squad and replace him. He expressed understandable dread when Gai opened the 8th gate, but he never demands Gai to reconsider his option for Kakashi’s sake, and expressed no jealousy by the fact that Gai opened the 8th gate for Lee (and yeah to save Kakashi too, but Kakashi is not Gai’s only reason for his sacrifice). Heck so many fanfics portray Kakashi became jealous when his students left him for training with Sannins, but he only felt a little lonely. Instead, Kakashi already discussed with Jiraiya about Naruto’s training with the Sannin, Kakashi literally vouched Sakura to Tsunade, and he doesn’t let Sasuke go to Orochimaru for the sake of Sasuke’s safety. So fics or contents when Kakashi became possessive toward his partner and want to be their “one and only” is so OOC for me.

2. Prioritize his partner among the world

See, Kakashi is not the person who act based on his emotion. First and foremost, he prioritized his responsibility and greater good than his own feeling. Like, to discuss “if that person and that person get drown together, which one Kakashi will save” is pointless because either Kakashi will try his hardest to save them all or he saved the one who has the lowest possibility to survive first. Kakashi also will not tolerate the person who attempted to harm people on his care, despite his adoration toward the said person (example, Obito and Sasuke). In retrospect, Kakashi can completely abhor a person but if the said person brings benefit for greater good, he can tolerate them and let them well(for example, Orochimaru and Kabuto). So I just can’t see Kakashi being like “the world can burn as long as you are with me” or something like that. Seriously, that man has no dramatic bone in his body. I’ve seen my fair share of fics when Hokage Kakashi “abuses” his authority power for the sake of his partner, and I just like, yeah, that’s so unlikely of him.

Again, it’s my strictly personal interpretation, so people who want Kakashi to be jealous or bend the world for his partner, feel free to go wild. It’s just doesn’t sit well with my interpretation of Kakashi’s character, and that’s the reason why I mostly ignore the majority of Kakashi romance fics.

As for my breakdown for each ship, Kakashi is shipped with so many people, hope that I managed to cover them all.

(Warning! I am not bashing any ship except those that I just can’t see the appeal like Kakashi/students, MinaKaka, and a little bit KakaIta. But I had my gripes for each of ships so for those shippers please be careful and open-minded. You have been warned)

ObiKaka

Ah my favorite dumpster fire. The angst, the drama, the unresolved issues, the Nile is a river in Egypt (I mean denial). To be completely honest, this ship is the most exciting Kakashi ship for me. So many landmines to be explored. And Obito reveal is literally the reason I rewatched Naruto. After being utterly bored by War arc, to see that Kakashi, the epitome of calmness Kakashi even in Kage Summit arc just some times after his own death his students tried to kill each other plus he was appointed as Hokage in the upcoming war? In the middle of chaos from every sides but didn’t lose his calmness at all? That, Kakashi, completely blown away by Obito reveal? Kakashi can emote like that? In front of Obito?

That’s the biggest appeal of ObiKaka ship for me.

As from Obito’s side, he’s fluctuated between ignoring Kakashi completely and weirdly invested with him in a too persona level. Later I found out that it’s a common trait for Uchiha. Emotionally, Uchihas are headache but man aren’t they effective to make a situation more interesting than it already is.

Still, I have my gripes for this ship. Ya know, Kakashi is not completely helpless in front of Obito. When it’s clear that he failed to make Obito reconsider his choice to brainwash everything up, a.k.a endangering his people and the world in the process, he attempted to kill Obito twice. One straight to heart and one straight to jugular. So fics when Kakashi is too “subby” toward Obito is a big no for me. Also just like I said before Kakashi is not someone who prioritize his emotion when doing something, so I don’t see Kakashi will absolve Obito’s numerous war crime post-4th Great Shinobi War just because “I love him”.

KakaIru

Indeed Kakashi and Iruka has so little interaction, but I guess that’s the beauty of headcanons. Kakashi and Iruka are the first 2 established adult characters in Naruto (not counting Hiruzen for obvious reason) so the pairing had the advantage of early start. Most KakaIru fans also saw them as “Naruto’s two dads” and that’s a cute concept. Kakashi’s kinda “tough dad” way of caring his students is compatible with Iruka’s quite soft and overprotective way, produce many sweet domestic situations. I don’t ship it but I can see the appeal.

My gripes about them are when they portray Kakashi as Popular Sex God and and Iruka as Innocent Cute doll, plus I will straight close the tab if in the fics Naruto ever said something remotely close to this :

“Pervert Kakashi-sensei stay away from my dad Iruka-sensei!”

(not so fun fact, I met that scene like in 3 out of 5 KakaIru fics that I’ve read)

Dear god. Honestly, no matter where you look it from Naruto’s side, Iruka’s side, or Kakashi’s side, that scene is a pure OOC on so many level. I have no idea what version of Kakashi, Iruka, and even Naruto on their mind.

KakaYama

Cute ship, their banter tastes different than Kakashi/Gai, Kakashi/Obito, and Iruka/Kakashi, with their popular dynamic as teasing upper-classman and exasperated under-classman. This ship is sadly underdeveloped because of Kishimoto’s lack of interest toward Yamato, but personally I can see great potential for this ship. In Shippuden, there’s a hint that Yamato is more stern than Kakashi, with Yamato practically making comment that he knows how Kakashi is but unlike Kakashi Yamato will not coddle Naruto and Sakura. I believe in a certain point of Yamato’s life he saw Kakashi as an epitome of light (or perhaps softer example), which is understandable considering that his world before meeting Kakashi is full of Root darkness and Orochimaru/Danzo’s bullshit. But at the same time it’s also interesting because ANBU Kakashi, Cold-Blooded Kakashi is definitely the darkest among Kakashi version. And unlike Gai whom he apologize for showing his brutal side, in front of Yamato Kakashi seems like has no shame to show his shady side. In Kakashi ANBU arc Kakashi straight told him about Rin’s death on his hand. In Naruto training Kakashi told him about believing that he can surpass the 4th Hokage a.k.a ya know, Naruto’s own father. Even Yamato is in Kakashi’s side when they asked Naruto to refrain the truth about UCM because the only source they have about it is their literal enemy. So I personally thought that if there’s someone that can stomach Kakashi’s shady, darker side, Yamato is that person. As Kakashi fan, I don’t see him as pure noble being and he indeed has them, dark side. At the same time, by interacting with Kakashi, Yamato can bring out his light side too, or at least supposed to if not for Kishimoto just stopped caring about him ever since at the beginning of War arc.

I don’t have many gripes about them except when they made Yamato “worshipped” Kakashi too much. Don’t forget, despite his indulgence Tenzo can and will sass Kakashi to hell and back. Still, I am not sure how far Yamato’s indulgence toward Kakashi, so I kinda bitter about this pairing when knowing that Yamato got Orochimaru monitoring task from Kakashi. As I said about, Kakashi trusts Yamato to see his shady side so it kinda made sense but I really don’t like that.

KakaGai

Wholesome ship, mutual caring, childhood sweetheart, parental approval from both Sakumo and Dai, plus they basically spent retirement days together with each other. This is the most canon Kakashi ship for me. Gai is literally Kakashi’s safe haven and Kakashi shows his most relaxed side in front of Gai. The reason why I don't read much fics about them is because I love angst but just can't handle KakaGai angst haha. Gai is the constant good thing in Kakashi’s clusterfuck life so I don’t wanna ruin it with angst.

My gripes are when they reduce Kakashi as invalid traumatized man and Gai as a mere Kakashi’s cheerleader. Sigh, talk about devaluing established characters to a single trope. KakaGai that is developed since they’re 4 till they’re 46 and counting deserve better than that. Besides, we have to remember that the reason why Gai attracted to Kakashi in the first place is because Kakashi is strong, worthy to be his rival. Not that Gai will ditch Kakashi when he turned weak (vice versa for Kakashi) but I think one of the reason why Gai sticks with Kakashi for so long is because Gai saw Kakashi’s inner strength and admires it (vice versa for Kakashi).

Kakashi/students

Still can tolerate their AUs (I’ve seen some College AU fics and I don’t mind them) but seriously in canon the most intimate Kakashi will ever do toward his students is headpat. Also in the entire Naruto franchise, it’s clear that Kakashi sees his students as his younger peers, and he literally made observation about how they grown up. I will not say Kakashi is their father figure, but there’s a clear platonic gap between Kakashi and his students. Example of those are :

KakaSaku : On Kazekage rescue arc, Kakashi told Sakura that she shouldn’t eat too much soldier pills because it’s bad for her body, can’t comprehend the social fact that maybe Sakura, as a woman, will not appreciate a comment from Kakashi, as a man, about her body. Like, it’s not a form of teasing or anything, he spoke it as his form of genuine concern and just can’t see the problem with it. Isn’t it a clear evidence that Kakashi doesn’t see Sakura as a woman and himself as a man in Sakura’s point of view? This is from Shippuden when Sakura already reached her puberty so I just can’t see Kakashi “suddenly treats Sakura as a woman”.

KakaSasu : Kakashi is downright sweatdropped when he saw Konohamaru’s Male Sexy Jutsu that has naked Sasuke (and Sai) in it. The majority of fandom said that Sasuke is Kakashi’s favorite student, but this pairing has the least amount of content, which is fair because most time when they had positive interaction Sasuke is just a 12 year old boy. Although I’ve seen some KakaSasu shippers gushed about Kakashi and Sasuke’s “private mentoring”, that’s nasty at that time Sasuke is literal pre-teen.

KakaNaru : Naruto tried to seduce almost every adults in his life with Sexy Jutsu from Iruka to Kaguya, but somehow he never uses that on Kakashi. In fact on Second Bell I expected him to use Sexy Jutsu but alas he used spoiler novel instead, talk about read porn for the plot XD Also Kakashi’s thought when he piggybacked Naruto, “he gets heavier”, that line is so platonic and reserved for kid relatives not potential love interest.

So yeah, for Kakashi/students ships, I just can’t see the appeal or possibility at all.

MinaKaka

Get the fuck away from me Minato belongs to Kushina and he will never ever touch Kakashi romantically in his life, which is btw already ended when Kakashi is just a 14 years old traumatized boy.

KakaIta

I don’t hate it, don’t mind the age gap because the first time we saw their interaction they’re mature opponents from different sides, Itachi is 18 years old and Kakashi is 26 years old. Personally it’s not icky for me, especially when we think of TobiDei when Deidara is 19 and Obito(Tobi) is in his late twenty. But like, dunno guys, why would you want to pair 2 emotionally repressed men with each other?

Their interactions, whether in Kakashi ANBU arc, Part 1, and Shippuden consist of :

Genjutsu battle (but with no hard feeling).

Kakashi asked vague question and Itachi responded with vague answer.

Itachi asked vague question and Kakashi responded with vague answer.

Kakashi asked direct question and Itachi deflected it.

Itachi asked direct question and Kakashi deflected it.

See how communication utterly fails both of these dumb men who use silence and secrecy as coping mechanism? Their romantic scenario is just unimaginable for me. Which one of them will confess first? If there’s problem, or argument, which one from them will say their problem first and which one will apologize first? Heck, can they even have unprofessional argument?

They’re too similar. They’re not willing to open up with each other and they’re both the type that is too reluctant to pry others about feeling. This ship is downright closed door from both sides XD I had a feeling that their date will consist of silently stare at each other for like a whole day, may or may not with Tsukuyomi/Genjutsu involved.

KakaShizu, KakaAnko, KakaMei, KakaGenma, or any other Kakashi ships with minor characters

No matter what Kakashi Hiden said, I think Kakashi is not the type to easily warm up on people. Not that he’s cold toward strangers, but he’s somewhat reluctant to invite people in his circle, especially have special feeling for them. So, I am down with them when they’re slow burn long kind of fic. In fact I like this KakaMei fic, and for me Kakashi is not OOC in that fic.

KakaOC

I am not fond with self-insert and Mary Sue OC in general so I don’t read much about them. My gripes perhaps when they use concept from already establish characters on their OC, like the one who acknowledge Sakumo as hero and instill teamwork on Kakashi is none other than Obito, the one who support Kakashi on his lowest point is Gai, the one who accompany Kakashi during ANBU days is Tenzo, so remove them to make a space for OC is, again, a big no for me.

Tl;dr : For me, platonic gen Kakashi contents are the best!

Casual (NSFW)

The scent of smoke mixed with sugar flooded Kakashi's nostrils as he rolled over in bed, utterly entranced. Long, auburn hair was what faced him, as Mei was rolled over to avoid looking at him- the usual, though he still knew that those seafoam-hued eyes were open, knew that she wasn't asleep even if she was pretending to be.

The Hokage sighed and reached forward to take a strand of that long, red hair to twirl with his finger before propping himself up by resting one elbow on the mattress.

"You know, I'm not entirely sure why we do this," He spoke after what felt like a minute too long. She rolled back over to face him, the blue duvet barely covering the soft swell of her breasts and stopping just above them.

"What do you mean?" She questioned, though she probably knew full well what he meant.

The two laid in silence for a moment. Kakashi stared at the Mizukage expectantly in hopes that she'd reveal she knew more than she was letting on about what he had said, but either she was waiting for him to elaborate because she was confused or because she was too embarrassed to admit the truth about their arrangement; the truth that had been building up and festering for a couple of years now.

After waiting for what he knew was way too long, Kakashi decided to clarify what he had wanted to convey for the sake of moving the conversation along. He wanted to find an end to this- whether that be her accepting his feelings and going along with it or rejecting him and leaving his apartment.

"We get along just fine," The silver-haired man muttered. "Why don't we skip the awkward morning-after conversation that always ends with you leaving way too soon and go on a date instead?"

It had been a routine for years now. After the tension had boiled between them during one particular meeting between Kage and resulted in them heatedly tumbling into Kakashi's hotel room, they'd agreed to keep it casual; a friendship between two people with similar jobs that included the occasional hookup on the rare occasion that they actually saw each other.

That was the thing, though. The war had ended, the villages were making peace with each other, Kakashi saw Mei a lot more than he had before, and he had caught feelings. He'd told himself when he was younger that he'd never fall in love, never make the mistake of getting attached to someone again, but he was head over heels before he could even think to correct it. Plus, he'd healed since back then. The climax of his life seemed to be over, the danger seemed to be gone, and just maybe it would be okay for him to find someone to be happy with.

Over the past few years, that someone had slowly become Mei, even if how she saw their relationship might've been different than how he saw it.

"A... Date?" The question fell from in between kiss-bruised lips, uncertainty and confusion lacing the tone of the woman who was usually so bold and confident in her speech.

"A date," He reiterated.

"You remember the agreement we made at the beginning of this whole thing," Mei reminded him, and of course, he remembered.

He was the dumbass who'd insisted on it being casual in the first place, both afraid of commitment due to his abandonment issues and afraid that Mei was way too out of his league to want anything to do with him in a serious manner. He was better now, though, and he wanted to take things further.

"Sure I do, but we both know that it's okay for some agreements to be altered, right?"

"I suppose you're not wrong."

It was dark in the room, but Kakashi could still see Mei's face due to the minimal amounts of moonlight that poured in through his cracked blinds; graced with a small smile that met her green eyes, her lips kiss-bruised and lipstick smeared due to their earlier activities. She wasn't uncomfortable or angry, rather seeming relieved, so Kakashi figured that was a good sign.

"Then stay," He murmured and snuck a hand under the covers to rest it on the woman's waist before wrapping an arm around her small body and pulling her into him. "Stay the night and let's go on a date in the morning."

"You don't care what the people will say?" Mei questioned, resting a hand on the side of his face and running a thumb over his cheekbone.

"Why would I?" He scoffed as he placed a hand on top of hers. "I didn't want this job anyways, it was basically forced on me... And you're about to pass the hat. I can see that you're at a point where you want to live your own life."

"Perceptive as always, I see," Mei grinned, and then leaned in to rest her head on Kakashi's chest. Legs tangled with legs, arms around each other, and warm skin pressed flush against warm skin, the silver-haired man felt his eyes flutter shut at the comforting feeling that had him close to falling asleep right there. "I'll indulge you. Let's go to sleep, and then first thing in the morning, we can go on a date."

Kakashi had been ecstatic about the date with Mei at Ichiraku the following day.

Keywords; had been.

The morning had gone perfectly fine- great, even. They'd woken up, and for the first time ever, Kakashi had been able to simply enjoy Mei's presence and sleep in with her cuddled up to him without her scrambling to get up, shower, get dressed, and leave like she always had before.

When both of them finally got around to getting out of bed, it was past noon, so they'd decided that their date would be getting lunch at Ichiraku Ramen before Mei had to go back to The Mist Village.

Currently, Kakashi and Mei were sitting at Ichiraku sharing a good conversation about the restaurant's history. Kakashi had fallen in love with her for many reasons, some complex and some simple, but one of them was that she always had good input no matter what the conversation was. Whether it was serious, funny, or casual, she'd always been good at talking to people and making them interested in what she had to say.

They'd already finished their food, so now they were just talking- at least until-

"Kakashi-Sensei, I-"

Naruto's voice caught his attention, so he turned around, only to see Sakura slapping a hand over his mouth to shut him up. Naruto was walking on one side of her while Sasuke was on the other, but the three quickly stopped when Sakura began to speak.

"Naruto, shut up! Can't you see he's on a date?" The pink-haired woman asked, looking at Kakashi and Mei, and then at Naruto again. She grabbed the blonde by the arm and began to drag him away with Sasuke matching their pace. "C'mon!"

Unfortunately, Kakashi and Mei both caught the tail-end of Team Seven's conversation as they disappeared from sight, one particularly sharp comment from Sasuke making him cringe under his mask and sink into his seat.

"A date? It's Kakashi, we know he isn't like that... Plus, I don't get how someone could date him when they haven't even seen his face, Sakura, I..."

Before he could hear the rest of it, they were out of earshot, but the damage had already been done. Kakashi let out an awkward laugh and crossed his arms where he sat as Mei shot him a smug glance. His cheeks began to burn red at that.

"How embarrassing..."

"For someone who was so enthusiastic about this date, you seem to be getting flustered," Mei teased and lightly pushed his shoulder.

"It's because of my students..." The silver-haired man rolled his eyes before continuing. "Honestly, you should hear all the things they've said about my face."

"Spill."

"They think I have buck teeth, no nose, and or blimp lips. When they were younger, they participated in scheme after scheme to try to get me to take my mask off."

"Why do you still wear your mask after all this time?" The redhead asked.

Kakashi paused for a moment to think about that- it was a valid question, after all. It had started with his father having him wear it to hide his identity when they went certain places, he'd kept it as a child to hide the features that looked exactly like those of Sakumo, who was considered the village failure who had committed suicide, and then he'd kept it in the Anbu to keep his identity a secret. After he started teaching, he hadn't really needed it, but after he became Hokage? Everyone already knew who he was, they knew his history, so there was no point in hiding anymore, but he still did from most people. The only ones who'd seen his face were Mei, Guy, Iruka, and Tsunade. Showing his face to everyone just felt... Weird, and he didn't plan on making a habit out of it any time soon.

"Well, at first I had my reasons, but... Now it's mostly just to screw with them and everyone else in the village."

"You're evil," The Mizukage laughed. "Love that."

"Mei," Kakashi smiled under his mask and moved a hand to subtly hold one of hers, a bit surprised when she locked their fingers and tilted her head at him.

"Yes?"

"Let's do this more often."

To his delight, she held his hand a little tighter and nodded.

"I'd like that."

Months passed.

Kakashi was taking a break from his work in the Hokage's office to walk around the village, a book in hand. It was a nice day for reading and getting some sun, at least until a certain blond appeared out of nowhere to walk next to him in the- thankfully- secluded part of the village near the training grounds.

"Naruto, what's up?"

"So! You and the Mizukage, huh?" Naruto questioned, throwing an arm over the silver-haired man's shoulder, and he found himself freezing in place. Still, he tried to act calm and collected as he slowly shut his book and shot the Jinchuriki a look.

It was true; him and the Mizukage were dating... Or, he thought they were dating. They hadn't put a label on it, hadn't said the 'L' word, but they went out on dates, kissed, and had sex regularly, so he figured that was at least something. He wasn't ashamed of Mei or anything- it was the exact opposite- but he didn't know what she thought about their relationship, and he didn't want to run around telling people that they were dating or that she was his girlfriend when he didn't even really know for sure what they were.

So, he decided to lie- or at least try to skirt around the subject when other people asked about it.

He was the Hokage. Most people feared or respected him enough to not dig their noses into his business. The only exceptions to that were his Mei, Guy, and of course, his students.

"...What are you talking about?"

"C'mon, Kakashi-Sensei, everyone's talking about it!" Naruto wiggled his eyebrows in a suggestive way that made Kakashi want to kill himself right then and there, but again, he tried to stay calm and collected. "Y'know what I mean."

"Alright, so me and Mei- I mean, me and the Mizukage-"

"I knew it!" Naruto cheered.

"We might have a thing going on, but don't get too excited," Kakashi warned, holding his hands up defensively and sighing. What was he even supposed to say at this point? "It's just... Casual dates. I think."

"Casual? It's been going on for months! Everyone sees how you look at her- you guys seem serious!"

"I've gotta go."

"What, ditching me for another date, Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto teased, clearly unaware that what he had asked had hit the nail right on the head.

"Yes, actually, I am. See you later, Naruto."

With that, he shrugged Naruto's arm off of his shoulder, and then, he was off.

~~~

Another month passed. Naruto's questioning of their relationship had made Kakashi think about it more in-depth, and honestly, he wasn't sure about things, but that was okay. He was happy with what he had, though sometimes, his feelings slipped in one way or another- whether it be him holding on a little too long when they hugged or staring at her for just a little too long when they were on dates.

Currently, they were laying in Mei's bed. He'd had a meeting with her in The Mist Village (that was totally political and not an excuse for them to see each other) and headed home with her immediately after, going through their usual routine of flirting on the way there until they got to the house and tumbled into the bed together.

"Fuck," Kakashi whispered as he trailed his lips up the length of Mei's neck, then planted kisses along her jawline, finally stopping when her lips met his and captured them for a kiss. Her hands were in his hair, threading through the silvery locks. "You're amazing."

"What's with all the passion lately?" She asked between kisses, which had Kakashi pulling back just a bit. He paused and wrapped his arms even tighter around her waist so she would be flush against him.

"Maybe I'm just passionate about you, is that a problem?" He murmured, nuzzling into the older Kage's neck.

"No, but it's certainly out of character."

"Not when it comes to people I love," As soon as the words fell from in between his lips, they both froze, and he instantly shot back, dread filling his being. Mei was looking at him with wide eyes and an expression he couldn't read as she pulled the blankets to cover her chest... He'd killed the mood, hadn't he? "Oh. Can't say this was how I expected that one to come out."

"I can't say I ever expected it to come out at all," Mei spoke, face burning bright red. Her tone was impossible to decipher. Kakashi supposed he understood- they'd been making out post-sex, probably about to go for another round, only for him to confess his feelings without any warning whatsoever.

"Is that a no?" The words were laced with the nervousness that was making his heartbeat way faster than it should've been as he ran a hand through his messy hair.

"I love you too, I just thought that..."

"I wouldn't be interested because of our jobs?"

"Something like that."

"You should know I care more about you than I do about my reputation, Mei. I'm sick of us just being what we agreed to all those years back..." He scoffed, and then laughed as he thought back to the first night they'd spent together- back when he'd insisted on keeping it 'casual' like an idiot. "Something casual. I feel stupid for saying that now."

"We don't have to be something casual if you don't want to be, Kakashi," Mei smiled and rested her hands on his chest before looking up at him. Her words mixed with the love swirling around in her seafoam eyes nearly made Kakashi melt. "Let's make it official."

"Yeah?" He asked, breathless.

"Yeah."

She nodded, and then, he was pulling her close again as a sigh of relief fell from his lips.

They weren't going to be stuck as a casual relationship like he'd thought, after all.
