Chapter Text
The feelings had been brewing in your chest for a while now. You thought they’d boil over and you’d move on. You began focusing harder on training but as you did that your feelings only seemed to snowball out of just a simple crush. Oh yeah, you liked him. You really liked him.
You had a massive crush on Kakashi Hatake.
You confessed to Guy, Kakashi’s greatest rival friend. He seemed almost perplexed at your confession, his dark bushy eyebrows in his hairline. You looked at him owlishly, waiting for his response. He seemed to snap out of his trance with a shake of his head, his questionable haircut moving freely with his head’s movement.
“Ah ha! I knew that all this time!” he boasted. Sticking a finger to the sky and offering you one of his famous blinding smiles that seemed to catch the sun perfectly in a way that his teeth reflected the light. You blinked, tilting your head in confusion; something you had picked up from spending time with Kakashi.
“You- you did?” you asked almost as surprised as he first was. He offered you a nod with a confident thumbs up.
“Of course! I know everything about Kakashi! He is my rival after all.” He gave you a closed eye grin as he explained how he somehow knew about your small massive crush on his best friend.
“Sure. So, what kind of food doesn’t he like?” you asked with an arched brow. He seemed to hesitate and look around nervously.
“Uh! Fish!” He guessed you laughed at his very incorrect answer. You laid a hand on his shoulder, wiping faux tears from your eyes.
“It’s actually sweet things but good try.” You giggled, laughing even harder when he frowned at the fact, he was incorrect. He looked at you in concern as you coughed to catch your breath.
Recovering, finally you asked him what you came to ask in the first place.
“So, what should I do?” you asked, almost sheepish as you scratched the back of your neck nervously. He put a finger to his chin, seemingly deep in thought. He was so animated; you would be completely convinced if someone told you he was a cartoon character.
His eyes lit up as ideas hit him. He looked at you intensely. Building the tension about what he was going to say to you. You leaned in quite literally on the edge of your seat.
“Confess to him!” he smiled. You scowled. Rolling your eyes as you realistically weighed your options. You hadn’t really tried showing your affection to Kakashi, too anxious that it would ruin your friendship. With your eyebrows furrowed you look over to Guy who was watching you intently. You avoided his eyes.
You knew he was right; you really had the best chance if you just confessed to him. but you were too introverted and anxious to go through with it.
You shook your head no, and Guy deflated, resting his head in his hands as you both gazed at the floor, thinking.
Defeated and tired you looked at the sky, the sun was beginning to set, its normal white rays now bringing on a brilliant gold color as it entered golden hour. You let out a heavy sigh as you let your head hang in defeat. God why couldn’t you just talk to him.
You run your hands down your face, huffing at the hair that fell in front of your eyes. Your train of thought is lost as Guy stands up from where he was sitting.
“Do not worry! I will help you!” He boasted giving you a thumbs up as he jogged off to god knows where. You let out a groan. Yeah you really should have gone to Kurenai instead.
