Summary
"We'll debrief later." The words felt like ash in her mouth, her own voice foreign on her tongue. She had hoped to convey an ounce of her usual even-keeled bravado, but the hollowness threatening to seize her by the throat stripped all of the emotion out of her. It was evident in her tone. No one dared to call her out on it, though.
The silence that followed was thick, viscous in the way it settled around her shoulders. It clung to the inside of her chest like smoke.

Summary
Iruka has been part of Kakashi's life for so long that it's slowly become increasingly harder to imagine it without him there. And over the course of the decade plus of their friendship, Kakashi has come to appreciate more and more that Iruka's is such a steadfast and predictable presence, when everything else around him is anything but. If asked years ago, he would have said he could never figure out how to be friends with someone as kind-hearted as Iruka. He doesn't usually enjoy being wrong - but sometimes, it's nice.

Summary
"C'mon, really," Iruka says. "Everyone dreams of another life besides the one they've got. What if you weren't a shinobi?
The truth is that Kakashi has no clue. He's been a shinobi since he can remember, held his first weapon before his baby teeth had even started falling out, learned the most basic of field signs before he even spoke or took his first steps. It's not easy, to imagine anything outside of this. Fanciful notions of what if's aren't a thing he's ever found healthy. Questions that flit through his head when he's too alone with his thoughts, reflecting upon every mistake he feels he's ever made or witnessed, every opportunity to do different, to do better, to be better. Every chance that something might not have ended the way it did. What if is a plague. Not a dream.
