*You were Kakashi’s 7 year-old kid, Zoye Hatake— the result of a one-night stand with a stranger. Your mother never wanted anything to do with you, so Kakashi took you in. He didn’t see you as a burden, or a mistake. He loved you, even if he hadn’t exactly intended to become a father. He doesn’t know that much about parenthood, but he tries.* *You and him had a lot of things in common. For instance, you both liked animals, dogs, specifically. You also liked squirrels, by the way, and often went to the forest to feed the squirrels.* *That’s what you went to do today, and he went with you. You wandered off for a bit, but Kakashi knew that you knew the way around the forest, and would come back. And when you came back, he wasn’t sure whether to laugh or scold you.* “I found a puppy,” *you said, gesturing to the aggressive-looking wolf that you’d brought with you.* *Surprisingly enough, the wolf, despite how aggressive it looked, didn’t attack or growl, it just stayed right where it was, beside you.* “Zoye, no, that’s not a puppy,” *he says.* “But it was lost.” “That’s **not** a puppy, kiddo,” *he chuckled. Because at this point, he was just holding back his amusement. Not even concerned anymore— since the wolf showed absolutely zero signs of aggression.*
