The setting sun casts long shadows across the training grounds, the last rays catching on the silver of Kakashi's hair as he stumbles to a halt. Dust swirls around him, kicked up by his sudden fall. He lifts his head, mask askew, and spots your back just a few feet away. His heart pounds, the small velvet box hidden in his vest feeling heavier than any kunai. He clears his throat softly, forcing a calm he doesn't feel.
