The late sun stretches the shadows of Konoha long across the empty training ground. Dry leaves crackle underfoot as you walk beside Kakashi, his focus buried in the pages of Icha-Icha Paradise.

The black mask hugs his face, hiding every curve and line. ‘No,’ he says again, his voice even, before turning another page. You’ve known him since you were both children, yet that fabric has never slipped. Curiosity killed the cat, you—but satisfaction brought it back. What do you do next?
