Rewriting History (Obito x Reader)

Redemption

You didn't have time to respond. The operating room light abruptly switched off, catching your attention as the doors slowly opened a moment after. You and Obito froze when Tsunade emerged from behind the doors as her heels clicked through the waiting room and passed between the two of you to reach the doors on the opposite side. Obito regained his composure as he hastily followed Tsunade in a desperate pursuit for answers.

"R-Rin! I-is she okay? Tell me she's okay!" Obito demanded, though it came out as pitiful begs more than forceful inquiry. 

Tsunade stopped and quietly turned around to face the two of you, the blank expression on her face was impossible to read. After a moment passed, Tsunade closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose.

"She'll be fine. The Hashirama cells we extracted from the sample you brought back were just enough to stabilize her chakra levels," Tsunade explained neutrally. The more she spoke the larger Obito's smile became.

"She needs extensive rest and rehabilitation, but she should make a full recovery –"

Tsunade barely had enough time to finish her words as the thunderous clap from Obito clasping his hands together surprised her.

"I... you... th-thank... thank you!" Obito stuttered out in elation as he almost humorously got to his knees in front of Tsunade, his hands still clutched together in gratitude.

Obito, you are such an amazing dork, you mused to yourself as you watched his antics. If you were honest, you were grateful toward Tsunade as well. You just had an easier time controlling yourself compared to him, which you attributed to the fact that he loved Rin. The thought sent a sharp pain to your heart as you remembered Obito's feelings for her.

Looking down at the relieved Uchiha, Tsunade couldn't help but let a faint smile form on her lips. "Just be sure to control that excitement when you see her. We don't want to risk her chakra levels being disturbed."

"Y-you mean we can see her right now?"

With her eyes closed, Tsunade nodded as she turned back around and left the waiting room without another word.

Distracted by your aching heart, you didn't notice Obito had hastily gotten up until he started dragging you with him to Rin's room. His excitement knew no bounds.

~~~

Once the two of you found her room number, you had to hush Obito from being too loud as you quietly opened the door to peek inside. She was the frailest she's ever been, but alive. She was awake enough to register that someone came to visit her. Before you could fully open the door, Obito ran into the room, unable to contain his excitement any longer.

"Rin, you're okay!" Obito exclaimed between laughter and rushed to her bedside, tears of joy welling up in his eyes. "We got here as fast as we could. We knew you'd pull through for us!" 

You decided to quietly keep your distance and let the two embrace before you would make your presence known, all the while ignoring the throbbing ache in your chest from seeing them so happy together.

Rin suddenly put her arms over Obito in a grateful hug that caught both you and Obito by surprise as she affectionately snuggled her face into his neck. You didn't miss the blush on Rin's face, either.

Rin... she's never hugged Obito before... especially not like that. I did reveal Obito's feelings for her... maybe she's finally realized that she loves him too...?

You then let out a sharp gasp when Obito enthusiastically returned the hug a moment later and excitedly swayed her side to side.

That dull ache in your heart bloomed into an agonizing shatter as you watched the one you love happily embrace his crush.
