Kakashi stops his movements. What did Obito say? He thinks I'm just playing with him and that I lied about wanting him to be mine?

Slowly Kakashi leans away and looks Obito in the eye. He speaks softly, his voice shaking a bit. "Obito, you think I'm just messing with you? That I'm not serious about my feelings?" Kakashi reaches forward to hold Obito's cheek, tenderly caressing his face. "Why would I lie? I've loved you ever since we were children— Even before you almost died and gave me your eye. Even when we would meet on the battlefield as enemies and fight..." 

Kakashi pauses thoughtfully and his face saddens. He leans closer to Obito and speaks in a voice so low, it's almost breaking. "I often think about you and what would've happened if I never left the village. And a part of me always felt like you often wondered the same thing."

Kakashi smiles at Obito, but his eyes are sad. He drops his hand and steps away. "Perhaps I was wrong. Maybe fate is against us, and we are destined to remain enemies forever."

Obito can't say anything hearing that confession. The atmosphere around them suddenly changed and Obito doesn't know what to do, he doesn't understand Kakashi.

What's with the mood change? Kakashi keeps teasing him all the time and now he's apologizing?

Obito stares deep at Kakashi's eyes. They've been friends for so long and Obito knows when Kakashi is lying or not, but the tone that came out with the confession just now shows that Kakashi is not lying, and it makes Obito feel guilty. Did he hurt Kakashi?

Does it mean Kakashi loves him back? Wait, he can't put too much hope yet. 

Obito looks away. "I-It's because you were teasing me and smirking at me– as if you were looking down on me. So I thought you were just playing with me. I-It's your fault!'' 

Obito closes his eye and a blush appears on his cheeks, suddenly feeling ashamed because he misunderstood the situation. But at the same time, Obito feels happy to hear Kakashi's confession.

Kakashi stays silent for a long moment, studying Obito. He watches Obito turn away and close his eye, face flushed and lips trembling. It's like he's embarrassed, unable to look Kakashi in the eye

Kakashi's lips form into a thin line and he approaches Obito once again. He tentatively reaches forward and tips Obito's chin up, turning his face towards him. "I'm sorry, Obito... I didn't mean to upset you. It's just that… I've been in love with you for so long and finally got to touch you in this way." He chuckles awkwardly to himself and looks down at the floor between them. "I– I just lost my control and got too excited." 

Kakashi purses his lips, then looks up at Obito once more. There is a yearning look in his eyes, soft and genuine. "I'm sorry I was moving too fast. I really messed up and made you uncomfortable." He starts caressing Obito's cheek, tenderly moving his thumb. "Will you give me another chance?"

Obito is stunned to hear another confession from Kakashi. Seeing that laughter reminds him of the Kakashi who he knew before. His heart feels warm, happy, and excited at the same time. He didn't hear it wrong, right? It feels like his dream has comes true.

Without him noticing, tears gathered at the corner of his eye and Obito immediately wipes them away, not wanting Kakashi to see them. He hugs Kakashi to hide his face on the man's shoulder.

"Shut up. Don't say I'm a crybaby." Still hiding on Kakashi's shoulder, he continues his words. "I was late realizing my feelings towards you. I realized it after you left the village. It made me so sad and lonely."

Then Obito slowly cups Kakashi's face. "Silly, of course I'll give you another chance." He kisses Kakashi right on the lips. After a moment, Obito stops the kiss and stays close so their noses are touching each other. His fingers slowly move down to stroke Kakashi's chest. "It's not fair, I'm the only one who almost naked here.'' He leans in to whisper to Kakashi. "And I'm still half hard."
