Kakashi shook his head, his expression not slipping a fraction despite his rather juvenile excitement. "Perhaps," he mused casually, being purposefully vague. "This is hardly a match, though. Shouldn't the playing field for a challenge always be smooth? If you won against me now it would hardly be a win at all, what with my handicap." he shrugged. If it hadn't been for his mask a silver tongue would most likely be visible, glinting in the sunshine.
Despite his big talk, however, Gai's upper body strength remained unmatched, and most importantly it topped Kakashi's. He was definitely pinned to the blanket, buy his hands were raised to put that same amount of force on Gai's shoulders. He kept them an arms length apart, not giving in despite being in the losers position.
It struck him then, reminded by the memory of a huffed laugh, that the focus of their meeting here had been Obito - yet there he was, taking a back seat and getting away with it. Kakashi feigned ignorance, eyes focused on Gai's determined grin, while his free foot quickly darted upwards to complete his previous intention. He doofed Obito on the head and ruffled his hair playfully, but forcefully enough to make the black locks frizz up and stand on end.
