Have you are considered: they are angsty exes who are totally in denial and think they'll be so bad for each other if they actually got together, but there's some part of them that's still pining- but Kakashi also has a crush on Gai, and thus has the option of trying to repress his feelings for Obito while focusing on Gai (and he does have feelings for Gai but there's a good well of angst you could tap here about), and Obito's definitely feeling jealous of this but. who would he be jealous of? Gai, even though Obito definitely doesn't like Kakashi?? Kakashi, even though Obito's not sure what to think of Gai? He's probably just jealous of Kakashi's ability to date people, bc surely no one's gonna date him. and definitely not two people. (spoiler alert: two people end up dating him)
...WELL I'M CERTAINLY CONSIDERING IT NOW
thank you nonnie, this option is truly the best of both worlds
