A/N: Okay look guys. It took me so long to actaully want to write this stupid fic. Maybe it's because I'm not so into Naurto anymore and maybe because I just hate this fic in general. But I'm going to keep writing this because so many of you seem to actually like it for some reason.

SO to make me enjoy writing this fic, I made it gay.

This is going to be a Kakashi/Obito fic my dudes. Not very heavy though since I had planned this to be more friendship oriented but fuck it if i have to write this I'm going to do something that makes me enjoy it. Which means gay.

The shinobi stayed a lot longer than they were originally supposed to. Some of the villagers had started to get nervous and second guessed their small uprising against Gaku and his goons. The village council and every male in the village (because apparently this didn't affect the women) came together and decided to push back the date of the attack, which meant that the shinobi had to stay longer, and Kakashi was the slave to have to fucking deal with them.

He couldn't stand them.

Well no, he had managed to find some sort of respect for Namakize-san ("You don't have to call me that Kakashi. Just call me Minato.") and he guessed that the Rin girl wasn't as bad as he had originally thought, but the same could not be said about the Uchiha.

Kakashi hated him and based on the past couple of days the Uchiha seemed to reciprocate those feelings. Although, the thing that annoyed him the most about Obito Uchiha is that Kakashi was forced to be civil with the asshole (but to be honest Kakashi did have a breaking point and the Uchiha seemed to know exactly how to reach it). It was either be civil to the fucking idiot or get a lashing.

His back still hurt from the last one.

"I think I'm going to practice a little longer sensei."

Kakashi had to resist a groan. He had been standing to the side watching Namakaze-san train his two students for most of the day and now he was going to be forced to stay behind with the idiot because apparently Namakaze-san felt that it would be safer for everyone to be in pairs. Instead of going back to the house and getting the sleep, he deserved in the corner of the laundry room that was supposed to be his "living space", he had to stay here and wait until the Uchiha gave up.

"Alright, Obito," Minato said to his student. "We'll see you two back at home."

And with that Rin and Namakaze-san took the path back to the house.

Kakashi felt the over IQ number of their training area drop by the tens.

"You can leave you know," Uchia said, glaring at Kakashi. "I don't need you here."

"I was given orders to stay with you," Kakashi said, keeping his voice completely monotoned and whatever could be seen of his face emotionless. "but trust me, if I could, I would get as far away from you as possible."

"Baka!"

The council still hasn't made up their mind about if they should stick with the uprising or not.

It's been two weeks since the shinobi were supposed to leave.

It was the fifth day the Uchiha had decided to stay back and train a little longer.

Kakashi watched silently, from where he leaned against a tree, as Obito practiced his shuriken throws and the newest move Namakaze had shown him.

From what Kakashi was witnessing, he could understand why the Uchiha had decided to stay back and train more.

They're doing an actual debate about the uprising as if half of the town weren't illiterate idiots.

Four weeks.

The two of them stayed back for what felt like the millionth time.

The Uchiha's aim has gotten better…but Kakashi didn't voice out the compliment.

He hated this fucking town.

Four weeks and two days.

The Uchiha laid next to the make shift dummy, trying to fight back the frustrated tears.

"Here," Kakashi said, thrusting the water canteen that he had refilled for the Uchiha towards said Uchiha's face.

"Uh…," Obito slowly took the water canteen, obviously not trusting the other boy. "Thanks?"

"You're welcome," Kakashi said. He did a short quick movement like it had hurt to turn around and walk back to his original spot.

"Don't…don't give up," Kakashi said, as if the words had hurt him to say. "You're…improving." He finished saying to the shinobi boy before he went back to his tree.

Five weeks and four days.

"I'm sorry," Kakashi let slip from his covered lips as he sat next to the other boy under the tree, his back pressed against the scratchy bark. "I…I shouldn't have acted the way I did."

"What are you talking about?" Obito managed to ask out between little huffs of breath.

The two of them had been forced to interact with each other for weeks now because not only did Obito want to improve but Kakashi really didn't want to get another lashing, so the two of them were inevitably becoming quite close. Surprisingly, when they weren't trying to get a rise out of each other, the two of them got along well.

"When you asked if I liked being a slave," Kakashi said. "I…shouldn't have acted like that towards you."

"Oh…" Obito trailed off, not knowing how exactly to respond. "It's okay…I shouldn't have asked you that. I'm…I'm sorry too."

Comfortable silence settled between the two. The rustle of cool wind passing through and knocking down leaves that fell onto the ground and the boys' hair, being the only source of sound in the area.

Eight weeks.

Obito was practicing his punches and kicks on the wooden dummy while Kakashi tried to read the book Obito had managed to steal from Ryusaki's office. Obito had been stealing and returning books for Kakashi since the silver haired boy had told him that the only reason he could actually read was because Kakashi was in charge of getting the groceries. So, they taught him how to read what was on the grocery list, not from actual books.

Obito snuck in to Ryusaki's office that night and grabbed the first book he saw, the same day Kakshi told him.

"What's today's book about?" Obito asked, pushing the dummy causing his already bruised knuckles to bleed a bit.

"It's about these two friends," Kakashi said, turning the page. He was already on the tenth chapter. "and they have to travel to this other world to save their third friend. I'm pretty sure these two are in love with each other. No matter how hard the author tries to brain wash me by forcing the so-called relationship between the loud mouth friend and the quiet girl that isn't even important to the story line."

"Uh…" Obito said, his attack faltering a bit. "Okay…sounds great dude."

"It's mediocre at best," Kakashi said.

The two boys went back to doing their own thing, until Obito got bored. He had been practicing like this for weeks, waiting for some old dudes to decide if him and his team coming here in the first place was necessary.

"Do you want me to teach you some of this stuff?' Obito asked, having voiced the idea out before he had thought it through.

"Teach me what?" Kakashi asked. He ripped some blades of grass and used it to save his place in the book before he settled it onto the ground and gave Obito his full attention, knowing that the Uchiha really appreciated it when he did that for some reason.

"Teach you how to be a ninja," Obito said with a shrug and a little more shyly then he had the first time.

"Okay," Kakashi said. He got up and dusted his pants before he stood in front of his friend, waiting for him to "teach him".

"Oh," Obito said, not having expected Kakashi to give in so soon. "Oh, okay. I uh…"

He looked around their little area, trying to see what exactly he could show Kakashi, where he could start.

"Oh! I know!" Obito exclaimed as he picked up a stray leaf from the ground.

"Okay so we all have this thing called chakra," He said as he placed the leaf on his hand. "Every living thing basically has this energy we call chakra, but shinobi have to learn how to control it because, you know, it's how we do our jutsu."

"So, this leaf thing," Obito said as he channeled enough chakra to make the dying leaf float a few inches above his hand. "Is a way for us to practice how to use our chakra."

"So, uh," Obito let the leaf fall back to his hand before he grabbed Kakashi's hand and forced him to hold it out in the palm facing upwards position his had been before he placed the leaf in his hand. "You try. Just…think about moving energy towards your hand."

Kakashi looked at the leaf that was now in his hand and then looked up at Obito. He didn't say anything to make Obito feel like an idiot, but he really didn't have to, the one flawless eyebrow Kakashi had raised at him was enough to do that.

"Look, just," Obito stumbled over his words, his cheeks colored pink. "Trust me, okay?"

"I do," Kakashi said, a little too quickly and way too easily for the silver haired boy's comfort. "I trust you. Promise."

"Oh…okay, cool," Obito grinned, his cheeks still pink but this time there was a small warmth in his chest.

"Yeah…cool," Kakashi said, smiling from behind his dirty green scarf. He coughed a little, trying to get rid of whatever this feeling of…whatever.

"So I just focus my…energy to my hand," Kakashi said, trying to recap what Obito had said. "How…how do I do that?"

"I like to imagine the chakra moving from my stomach to wherever I need it to go," Obito said with a shrug. "Maybe try that?"

Kakashi nodded. He spaced out his feet and shook his shoulders a bit, not knowing exactly what to do. He wiggled his fingers before he started to imagine his chakra to move from his bellybutton to his hand. Immediately Kakashi felt a tingling sensation travel to his hand until the leaf floated effortlessly in his hand.

"No way," Obito whispered, completely dumbfounded with his mouth hanging open. "That…that took me days to figure out. How did…how did you?"

"I don't know…" Kakashi said. "I just…did what you told me to."

Obito and Kakashi stared at the leaf, both completely stunned by what Kakashi was already able to do.

"What now?" Kakashi asked after a couple of minutes.

"Well shit, I don't know," Obito said. "I thought this would take all day."
