Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

Since I didn't have anyone for a long time growing up, there's a lot I don't know. I told Minato about it, and he said he would teach me about what I was missing. Which is why I was now sitting in one of the classrooms at the academy with Minato writing on the chalkboard. I rest my head on my hand, this was already his sixth lesson. I've learned a lot, but sometimes this gets pretty boring.

I think today's lesson has something to do with bodily changes, I'm not too sure. Minato stops writing and turns around, he says,

"Alright, today I'm going to tell you about what to expect as you grow older." 

I looked to my left, out the window. Sometimes my brain thought the clouds were more important than what I was supposed to be learning. I don't know, maybe it was. Minato clears his throat, and says,

"You're going to want to pay attention, Keira. What I'm saying is important." 

I look back over to him and reply,

"Sorry Sensei, I'm paying attention now."

"Good,"

He turns back to write more on the chalkboard, while writing he continues saying,

"You're going to be experiencing a lot of changes. For instance, you'll start to take interest in things you never have before. An example could be boys, I know someone your age definitely will have an interest in them."

I felt my cheeks get warm, what's wrong with me? I was fifteen for goodness sake! I should not be getting embarrassed like this! I mean, I've thought about it before, sure. Who hasn't? It's just weird to think about how you'll meet someone and eventually realize,

'This is who I want to spend the rest of my life with.' 

It was all just too confusing for me. Which is why I never really took an interest in it, love wasn't exactly at the top of my list of priorities right now.

"I'm sure you've got someone special to you by now, right?" Minato says.

I shake my head,

"I'm not sure."

I think I have feelings for someone, but I'm not entirely sure what they are yet.

Kakashi.

Lately, when I'm near him my brain gets all stupid, and I fumble with my words. Sometimes my face gets kind of warm. I like to think that's because of the weather, at least, I'm hoping that's why.

"Oh, yeah?" Minato crosses his arms with a smile.

"Yeah..."

As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I can't help but think back to what Minato said earlier,

'Someone special...'

Maybe that someone special was Kakashi, and I just wasn't ready to accept it yet. I mean, yeah, he's kind of cute. Well, when he doesn't have his mask on that is. But who am I kidding? I'm being stupid for thinking I'd have a chance with him.

Right?

Yes, I need to stop letting simple things like this bother me, it's getting too distracting. I just need to focus on my training, and improving my skills. 

Then again, I bet it's nice to kiss someone.
