Kakashi either must’ve done something incredibly wonderful or gone through something incredibly awful in a past life to deserve this family. He’d gone over every possible situation in his head, if reincarnation was even real. Which he half-wondered sometimes since occasionally there’d be someone on the street who was a complete stranger to him, but their eyes - their souls - seemed so familiar.
Kakashi really didn’t know if he was being rewarded for good behavior or if this was an apology gift for what he’d been put through in his previous time on earth.
There was his father - Sakumo, who was strong and kind and wise. He’d never raised his voice or lost his temper (not even when Kakashi really acted up).
His mother was dead, and considering that he never felt any supernatural connection with someone that felt “motherly”, he suspected he hadn’t known his mother in past lives either.
And then there was his younger brother. The one who admired him to the point of worship. The one who did whatever he said, held a loyalty to him that rivaled Kakashi’s loyalty to their father. Some mix of innocent and terrifying - worldly and naive - dependent and independent. A brother that seemed to realize the same thing Kakashi did - they’d known each other in a past life, all of them had. Yet it was never a topic of discussion between them, nor was it something that weighed on the mind of their father. As far as Sakumo was concerned, they were a happy family, just the three of them. A man and his two sons. Brothers with a bond that transcended time, transcended lives, controlled and ordered by the universe, arranged by the invisible strings of fate so that they were never apart.
The brothers, Hatake Kakashi and Yamato.
My Christmas gift for @kujyou12! She wanted a reincarnation AU with Kakashi and Yamato as brothers. All I could get out of writing was the above short fic, and so I tried my hand at drawing it. I drew it in my new sketchbook and scanned it from there, which is why the right edge is kinda funky (it’s the spine). I hope this is okay! Merry Christmas!!
Kakashi: It’s cold!
Yamato: Papa look! Kaka oniichan and I switched coats! Ha ha ha
Sakumo: My sons are so cute!
