#kakashi is in love
headcanon: between kakashi and gai, kakashi is the one who shows much more pda.
yes, gai is the one that always proclaims his love and admiration for his beloved rival but once they actually get together? kakashi cannot wait to show people that they’re a couple.
i mean he could barely contain himself before they were even official.
the whole division is facing the enemy and yet…
kakashi only cares about gai.
when gai asks if kakashi wants to meet naruto after not seeing him for so long, he responds with this.
and he sees naruto as his son. that type of utmost trust, even in front of another official captain of team seven (yamato)… that’s almost as if he’s acknowledging gai is naruto’s other dad.
and then there’s also this.
kakashi could’ve said it in the private moment the two of them had together just moments earlier but no. he just has to say it loud enough for yamato and aoba to hear.
and in the kazekage rescue mission, look at that very pointed glance. not subtle at all.
baki didn’t ask for this. relax.
and how can we forget about this.
rin was literally right there. i know she was sick of seeing this gay behavior.
during his mission to infiltrate the uchiha district, he just had to hang out with gai of all people.
he chose mr. maito not-stealthy-at-all gai as his cover, feeling completely comfortable to show how affectionate they are. he could’ve chosen another anbu or someone better suited for infiltration but no.
then the war ends, they get together. this is where it gets sickeningly unbearable.
during “the last”, kakashi has gai right there with him on the commanding podium. gai, who’s already retired from being an active shinobi, is right there with the hokage among other very important people. this proves just about how much gai means to him and he’s not shy from letting other people know.
the moon is either going to crash into earth or blowing up, both very hard decisions to make and face the consequences of. kakashi wants gai there with him when it happens.
years later, when kakashi finally retires and go on that legendary vacation with gai, poor mirai is the one facing it all.
kakashi is the one constantly bringing up their time together. the bull-headed shrike story? the tempura? the festival?
even the damn villains cannot catch a break.
“the recklessly strong man is not me”. recklessly strong. you are here to fight people, kakashi. you don’t have to show them that you’re head over heels for your husband.
kakashi is so whipped.
