His hand lashed out suddenly and smacked Obito right across the cheek. The sound echoed through the room like a firecracker; sudden and loud and horrible, and then silent again. As soon as he'd done it, Kakashi threw himself forward, arms gripping tight around Obito's neck as he pushed his face in close, hiding his eyes, praying Obito wouldn't feel the damp trickling from his visible one.
"You god-damn moron.." he breathed, and if Obito hadn't felt the tears by now he'd know from the way Kakashi's voice wobbled that he was crying. "How dare you think I'd let you lose me that easily, how dare you think that I won't just always be here for you.. and how dare you act as though Gai would ever pick someone else over you," He hiccuped a sob, held Obito a little tighter. "Especially me."
"He loves you so much, he's yours, and all you have to do is let him in-- You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to be afraid that letting him in will mean you can't have me.." He paused, gave a gentle laugh that turned into a hiccuped sob. "You'll always have me, Obito. I can't escape that even if I wanted to, and I don't.. I was content how we were. All the unsaid, all the subtlety, it worked for me, and everything we've done recently would be fine as long as I wasn't-... I-.. I can't be your boyfriend. For both of our sakes, and Gai's..." He trailed off, voice weak. He didn't know what he was saying because he wasn't thinking about it; he'd given up, let his mouth open and his words fall out unabashed along with his tears that seemed a long time coming despite the fact that he'd only cried a few days ago.
