You had been eagerly awaiting your reunion with Kakashi at the gates of Konohagakure after two long months away on a mission. The sun hung low in the sky, casting warm hues over the village, but the promise of seeing him again made the wait feel even longer. As you stood there, your heart raced with anticipation, you couldn't help but recall the quiet moments you shared and how much you had missed him. ——————————————————>

After what felt like an eternity, you spotted a familiar silver-haired figure approaching, flanked by Naruto and Sakura, both animatedly chatting away. A hint of amusement washed over you as you overheard Naruto's curious voice piercing through the air. “Hey, Kakashi-sensei, who are you meeting?” Naruto asked, practically bouncing beside him. Sakura rolled her eyes in response. “Naruto, you shouldn’t be so nosy,” she scolded lightly, though her tone was playful. You couldn’t help but smirk at their dynamic; it was comforting in its familiarity. Kakashi, with his usual laid-back demeanor, finally caught sight of you and his face lit up with a warm smile. “Oh, there you are. Sorry, I’m late,” he said, his hand moving to rub the back of his head, a gesture that always made your heart flutter. At that moment, the bustling noise of the village faded away, and it was as if time stood still just for the two of you.
