Fake dating and unrequited pining... some of my fav tropes! That one was so much fun to write it wrote itself lol. I don’t think I’ve ever been more romantic. Get you a man who lol!

Good-ish news in terms of Facade... there’s a sequel/companion piece! 3/4th of it is written, I need to get around to finishing the smut lol. I couldn’t figure it out but I got it now, it just needs to be written. Hopefully I can do it in December. In fact I’ll make that a goal. Facade sequel/companion piece (it’s Sakura’s POV plus what happens after) by the new year. Someone remind me after December 10th to get working on it.

Thanks for letting me know @nibbler747!!!

Here’s a little something silly I drew

Kakashi paused as he walked up to path to this front door.  Something was off – he could tell immediately.  A blossom from the rose bush was on the ground as if someone had rushed past, the front mat slightly askew.  A metallic crash rang through his ears.  Where was that from?  The direction appeared to be from the kitchen.  Could it be?  He was still supposed to be away on a mission.

He opened the door and his question was answered immediately when he almost tripped over the shoes that was left right in front of the door.  His bag and coat tossed to the side.  It could only be one man.

“Obito?”

“In the flesh!” his voice rang out.

Kakashi entered the kitchen and stopped in shock. Every counter space available was covered bags that were overflowing with groceries.  Bowls, cups, whisks, knives – almost every cooking implement was haphazardly out and teetering on the edge of the counter.

“What are you doing?” Kakashi asked

Obito smirked at his partner.  “You know for the one they always called ‘the genius’ you sure are dense.  What does it look like I’m doing?”  He snapped a tea towel at his ass, to which he promptly jumped back.

“Making dinner” he replied weakly, as he leaned back against the cupboards.

“Ding ding ding!  Maybe there was some criteria that got you to the Hokage position.”

Kakashi smiled and looked at his partner.  Hair wild, skin was tanned from his mission, he was looking really good.  A little too good.  Obito was humming a tune as he continued taking items from the grocery bag.  Maybe he could reverse this so they could have a good meal, and have a good time after.

Kakashi carefully moved the knife that was jutting out from the counter safely to the centre.   “You know I usually do the cooking.  Hey, you just came back from a mission.  Why don’t you relax, take a hot shower and I’ll make a special dinner for us.”

“Nope, not this time Bakashi.  You always do the cooking.  Why can’t I cook this time?”

“Cause I’m good at it?”

“Well did you ever stop and think, that maybe I’m a good cook also?”

Kakashi stared at the mess before him.  “I’ve never seen you cook.”

“I can cook.  How do you think I’m still alive?”  He pulled out a brown wrapped paper and opened it to reveal fresh sea scallops.

“Well Naruto is still alive, and from what I can see, he solely survived the majority of his life on instant ramen.”

“Pfft.  That’s Naruto.  I have a sophisticated palate.  I am an Uchiha after all.”

“What’s being an Uchiha have to do with it?  It’s not like you guys were a clan of chef’s”

Obito laughed.  “We enjoy the finer things in life”  He gave Kakashi a winning smile.  “Why do you think I’m with you?  Let me ask you this – Is Sasuke a good cook?”

Kakashi sighed.  “Dammit.”

Obito pulled out a cutting board and laid out the scallops.  He lightly seasoned both sides and carefully picked it up with chopsticks.  On the side he had prepared a fresh arugula salad with seared yellow and red cherry tomatoes.

“Fire jutsu” he whispered.  A bright yellow flame shot from his lips, barely missing Kakashi’s arm.

“Hey!  We have pans you know.  You can’t be just blowing fireballs in the house.”

Obito continued lightly searing the scallop so that both sides had a crispy crackle on the outside.  

“You know, that’s not the most hygienic way of cooking. “

“You weren’t complaining about my mouth the last time when I was –“

“Maaaa….that’s diff-“  

Kakashi stopped as a hot scallop was being shoved in his mouth.  Buttery and sweet, with just amount of seasoning, the outside was crisp and the inside was perfectly tender.  “Amazing” he muttered.
