Hey, wha--

Rin's eyes went wide as Kakashi leaned closer, but she trusted him, so she didn't flinch or pull away. Still, she felt her cheeks go pink at the brief touch of his lips against them.

A little startled, she raised a hand to her face, her fingers hovering over her cheek for a moment, but not quite making contact. The focus of her gaze flicked back and forth between his eyes, and once again she wondered just how literal Obito had been when he’d said he would become Kakashi’s eye, or if he'd been being entirely figurative. She wondered if Kakashi even knew.

...From Obito...

I'm sorry, she thought, focusing her gaze on the scarred side of his face, on the eye that showed red by the gleaming city lights below, and this was one decision that she didn't feel at all guilty about. I cared for you, too, and miss you so much, and I'm sorry, but if things hadn't changed, I still... Her focus shifted to the right side of Kakashi's face, that single dark eye--one of the things that had stayed the same.

Closing her eyes, she breathed a soft laugh; when she looked up again to give him a shy smile, she met both his eyes equally again, as usual.

"Thanks, Kakashi."

He could tell by the way her eyes had shifted from one side of his face to the other that Rin was thinking about something - or someone in particular. Kakashi's smile was still in place as he patted Rin on the back once more and pointed to the tissues still in her lap.

"..Guess you don't really need those anymore, ne?"

Now, in the cooling breeze, he could feel a dampness on his skin where Rin's tears had soaked into his shirt, not that it bothered him. Above them the sky had deepened to an inky blue with only the brightest stars shining through, the moon continuing its slow ascent into the sky.

"I guess not," she agreed a bit sheepishly, though she soon found a good use for them--trying to pat the wet spots she'd left on his shirt dry. Once satisfied that she'd done the best job of it she could, Rin tucked the crumpled tissues into her medic's pouch to throw away later, then leaned back on her hands, looking up at the night sky.

The city lights were too bright for any but the brightest of stars to show up, but the night was clear, so there were still a few handfuls of them scattered about. Even the stars looked different here, she thought, though that could've just been because she could see so few of them.

It was an curious sort of peacefulness, sitting up here beneath the open sky with Kakashi while the City hummed and pulsed beneath them, enjoying a silence that was companionable rather than awkward and appreciating the simple pleasure of her teammate's company.
