"That's how I got stuck." He crossed his arm. "My lover talked me into... this."

From:

mooneye

At first, more confusion. Then he looked like he might get angry. And finally he seemed half excited, and like he was trying not to laugh. "Tsunade is an awful old woman." He blurted passionately. Because of course she had called him back for this, and of course she hadn't mentioned what this was. Obito leaned forward and took Itachi's face in his hands, rough and playful, and kissed both his cheeks and his forehead. "Itachi! I can't believe you."

From:

youngesthokage

"...I'm not sure how I should interpret that statement." He held still and let himself be kissed though, blinking at him.

"This is--I don't know what this is. Who's the father? An Uchiha? What does it feel like?"

From:

youngesthokage

"And I did? The father is... uh. Definitely not Uchiha." He colored more deeply. "Very not."

He hopped on the next question immediately. "They've started moving, a little. It's... still very strange."

From:

mooneye

Obito's eyes narrowed and his lips curved up a bit at that first part. Not an Uchiha? Very not an Uchiha? That Itachi of all people would find someone outside the clan...

"They?" he asked, distracted.

From:

youngesthokage

He paused and his eyes widened. "OH! No. Nonono. Just... There has yet to be a gender determined so... they. I don't like using it."

From:

mooneye

"It would have been like you, you know. Not just doing this but doing it double." He paused, looking thoughtful. "What did aunt Mikoto say?"

From:

youngesthokage

He winced a little and looked away. "She's happy for me but... I don't really talk to mother very much. I just... It's stressful for me. I know she's there but... I can't."

From:

mooneye

He nodded, thinking of... well, Kakashi. Who he ought to talk to now that he's here. But he won't, he doesn't think, if he can help it. "I know what that can be like."

From:

youngesthokage

"Yes. She tends to send Sasuke as an intermediary most times." He paused a beat and looked over. "Ah... the father spends far more time with her than I do. He's really gotten into the entire 'learning about children' thing recently. His being out of the village is likely why Tsunade sent for you."

From:

mooneye

"...I guess it's good she did. Do you have any idea how kidnappable you were right before I got here? Extremely. And you're sitting right on the edge of this thing! That's like a bazillion foot drop down on a bunch of pointy rocks. Get up. Scoot back." Obito peered at him curiously. "And who is the father?"

From:

youngesthokage

"He's from Kiri." His tone was a bit cautious as he looked sideways at him. "He was a missing-nin that I ah... acquired on one of my trips out of the village since becoming Hokage."

He didn't move one bit from where he was either.

From:

mooneye

The shift in him was immediate. A hard, sudden tension, a total lockdown of expression. A kiri-nin. Ah. Tsunade might have mentioned that part as well. Though it probably wasn't her sense of humor that made her leave it out of the message.

From:

youngesthokage

The reaction made him wilt and he looked away and down to the village. "He's kind to me."

From:

mooneye

Obito didn't reply for some time. "Well. If he's kind to you," he replied, at length. And this was... a man who had left Kirigakure, at any rate.

From:

youngesthokage

He fidgeted a little. "He's very honest as well." He leaned forward on his hands, staring straight down over the drop. "He left Kiri because of the dishonesty."

From:

mooneye

That made him relax just a touch. Honest was good. And--he hurriedly plucked Itachi back from where he was leaning. "Hey, don't! Ugh, just like when you were a kid... Come on, let's go."

From:

youngesthokage

He made a startled noise at suddenly being grabbed, gaze jerking back to the taller man. "Don't -do- that! I could have fallen!" He huffed softly. "I wasn't finished."

From:

mooneye

"You're going to fall leaning over like that! I probably just saved your life." He thought for a minute. "We don't have to go back to the village. We could find... didn't there used to be a couple little safehouses in the woods?"

From:

youngesthokage

"I meant in my attempt to gear up to telling you the father's name." He grumbled softly. "You'd recognize it."

He nodded all the same. "They're still there."

From:

mooneye

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather not tell me and let the whole thing blow up fantastically in some kind of high level battle when I get to meet him face to face and realize oh it's that guy?" He was curious, though. He started ticking off famous living Mist shinobi in his mind.

"Let's go find one."

From:

youngesthokage

"I would like my village to remain standing and both of you alive, and I know him too well to think he wouldn't jump at the challenge if you offered." The reply was immediate, and he got to his feet, starting to pad off along the edge of the monument.

From:

mooneye

"Would he?" Obito sounded a bit eager, there. He followed Itachi a bit behind and to the side, watching his back. And also looking out at the village, experiencing an odd mix of joy at being home and--maybe apprehension, though he wasn't sure about what exactly.
