mistletoe because fuck sad things , it's christmas today !!!!!!
✦ うちは / there are days he feels like doing nothing at all . days he feels on top of the world . days he feels the WEIGHT of life & death & reality heavy ‘pon his broken shoulders . today today is a good day . thick , puffy flurries twirl from a gray sky , DAMP against his cheek & invisible in his shock - white hair . the air is light & his mind CLEAR , depression tucked away for another time . lips , bright & RED from the cold & teeth worrying the tender flesh , part to let out a GUSTY exhale . chilled breath swirls into the air before him , & he feels so ALIVE . ( now if only kakashi would hurry it up , lunch is almost over ! ) he supposes there are WORSE habits to acquire . honestly , deep , deep within him he’s a little embarrassed . head tilts , MISMATCHED eyes sliding shut . colorless locks brush the wall behind him , & he feels RELAXED down to his very sinew .
a voice he knows all too well brings him back to reality . ( & isn’t that ironic ? ) naruto may have been his landline / HIS BUOY ! but kakashi had dug his claws into obito’s skin , pulled him apart & settled inside . two desolate , DESPERATE men , hearts pulled from chest cavities & offered up on dented silver platters . what a MACABRE image they paint , DOGS OF WAR , gods of carnage . force - feeding each other white lies & scrabbling for any sign , any HINT of their previous connection . slowly , steadily , they’d sliced open bits & pieces , until revealing ICHOR spilled between them . TELLING HEART / do you feel what i feel ? speaking with actions & subtlety rather than words . it’s a new language to be learned between them , but obito is patient & starved .
eyes open , charcoal & brilliant , deep violet . with his gaze tilted up , he’s suddenly graced with the little PLANT hanging just above him , jutting out from it’s awkwardly nailed position on the wall . it actually STARTLES him , eyes widening almost imperceptibly . since when did restaurants nail mistletoe outside their entrances ? jaw sets , chin dipping & dual - gaze finally settling on the slouching man before him . kakashi’s two dark eyes FLICKER from the little plant to obito , unreadable . FIERY EXPLOSION , it rocks his core , sends magma streaming through his veins . the air is CHILLED , so the pink to his cheeks is easy to dismiss . IT’S UGLY , he feels , the blush looks so out of place on his ruined / ruined / RUINED features . ( no , no , stop . he’s fine today . today is a good day . )
throat bobs , swallow too audible . he winces , skin prickling & hands beginning to shake . IGNORE IT , IGNORE IT . he thinks , not knowing what he wants or what to think . today is a good day . it’s bright despite the overcast sky & it’s snowing . ( he loves the snow . ) kakashi takes a step forward & obito is suddenly ACUTELY aware of the wall at his back . ❛ what ? ❜ voice gruff , shoulders tensing . discomfort & desire VISIBLY warring across his lithe frame . does he want to ? maybe . PROBABLY . he’s never really thought about it . ( LIE . cold nights , forgotten DREAMS , split - second thoughts . ) another step , & obito wishes he could become part of the wall . & yet he could slip away if he wished , really . will he ? no . he feels like he’s twelve again , pulse throbbing & head DIZZY with heat . ❛ bakashi ❜
the age - old nickname is halted , stuck in his throat & squeezing the air from his lungs . cloth presses , gentle & insistent , against flushed lips . fleeting thoughts of SELF - HATRED boil in his brain my lips are split , my scars are ugly before they sink back down because this is kakashi . kakashi who could probably give two shits about what obito looked like , or if he was covered in dirt & sweat & gore . kakashi , obito knows , doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to . ( when it’s not mission related . )
obito wants to throw up his beating heart & give it to him . he wants to dig his hands into kakashi & DEVOUR him , wants to fuse their souls together & urghk reel it in , REEL IT IN . their lips slide together , cloth on half - scarred flesh . obito’s hands raise & touch gently to kakashi’s chest , the HEAT of his body a sickening contrast to the chilly air . for a moment , he relishes . for a moment , he allows himself to desire . then the moment is over & he’s curling his fingers , shoving the silver - haired man away abruptly . not hard , & not desperately , but enough to SEPARATE them . he ignores the vivid crimson splashed across his cheeks , scowling & twisting the scars near his mouth .
❛ what the hell , kakashi ! ❜ gaze wavers , lips trembling & pulsing with the remnants of kakashi’s warmth . he breathes out , a SHUDDERING motion that belays his conflict . dual - hued eyes slide to the side once they can no longer stomach the UNFLAPPABLE appearance of the sixth hokage . ❛ you half - assed it . ❜
