If Kakashi had been there, maybe things would’ve gone differently.

Every child experienced accidents within their childhood. However, when his kid got injured in his absence, Kakashi’s avoidant and preoccupied attitude towards you did a complete 180. It had been weeks since your little accident, and his overprotectiveness showed no sign of diminishing.

“You can’t go outside. What if you get hurt?”

Kakashi sat before you, his brows pinched with worry. He shook one of your toys in an attempt to capture your attention, though his efforts were fruitless. Days of being stuck indoors due to his paranoia left you restless.

“Why don’t you stay inside with me, hm?” Kakashi cooed, reaching out to nudge your shoulder when you pouted and turned away.
