I feel so honored by your lovely long comments, thank you so much ;A;
Probably a good thing it wasn't 19 yo Kashi that showed up because there's no way they would have been able to keep their hands off each other, I don't think. Though I guess at that point, in for a penny in for a pound. This chapter had to be an angst-fest, Kakashi was like how much pain do you want and I was like "Yes". I think the saddest part for ME was them not getting the reunion after Kakashi realized Sasuke, his Sasuke that he lost, had been with him the whole time, alive and well. Because it would have been so sweet and cute and even for Sasuke I'm sure it would have soothed something for him to experience seeing Kakashi so happy at his presence. But alas! It was not meant to be.
From 26 yo Kakashi's perspective, the Sasuke he knows is a very troubled and angry young man who isn't particularly attached to him or the even the team (as far as he knows anyway) so no, he would never think he was the one Sasuke had feelings for in that sense, because he would have no reason to think it. And yes of course he would blame himself for whatever it seems like Sasuke went through because he still feels guilty he wasn't able to stop him from leaving.
Haha, there will be other glimpses of their night together but it won't all be written out, sadly, so feel free to let your imagination run wild. I will say Kakashi absolutely rocked Sasuke's world and scrambled his brain.
I'm going to keep any details about the next chap secret, BUT I will say Yamato and Naruto will remain confused, who knows what they'll say to them later but it won't be much of the focus.
