Live And Love - Obito x Reader

Chapter 5

(A/N: I'm back with some hopefully good ideas); also I own nothing, except maybe the plot 😊)

That night was spent taking turns with your phone, Google Translator and the state of confusion. Like your dear friend Yulia had said, as long as you were able to get the point across, Obito did not care that you couldn't speak properly. In fact, he almost seemed relieved; to an extent though, he also got very frustrated too (which was easy to see whenever he would grab at his hair or pinch the bridge of his nose). Perhaps a beer would make it better?

"Ne, Obito-san, nanikanomimasuka?
(Hey, Obito-San, do you want a drink?)

"Īe, kekkōdesu. Watashi ga doko ni iru no ka, anata ga nani o shitte iru no ka, soshite dō yatte shiritai no ka."
(No thank you. I just want to know where I am, what you know, and how.)

"Ehh, ā... mā, watashi wa nani o iubeki ka seikaku ni wakarimasen.."
(Ehh, oh... ok. Well, I'm not exactly sure what to say.)

"..."

"Wakarimashita, sorede mazu... Anata wa Amerika ni imasu."
(Ok, so first... you are in America.)

"Amerika ttenani?"
(What is America?)

'He's so adorable when confused :}'

"Sore wa watashi ga sunde iru kunidesu..."
(It is a country... that I live in.)

"..."

"50 No shū de kōsei sa rete imasu."
(It's made up of 50 states.)

"Dōshite?"
(Why?)

"Watashi mo yoku wakarimasen."
(I'm not really sure either.)

"..."

"Watashitachiha Ohaio-shū ni imasu."
(We are in the state of Ohio.)

"Kinishinaide. Anata wa nani o shitte imasu ka?"
(Never mind. What do you know?)

And so the rest of the night carried on in a similar conversational manner... You decided that some beer would be good for you, and gave Obito another water bottle. You sat in silence trying to think of what to tell the Uchiha. In the end, you decided that you would show him your manga and anime collection of Naruto. When he first looked at the books, he didn't appear to have any outward reaction. You worried about what he was thinking; even though he was one of the good guys now. You wondered if showing the anime would even still be necessary. The Uchiha had been scanning through the manga at a quick pace and still appeared to be in deep thought. It was even more unnerving with his eyes glowing red.

Obito was sitting in thought, slightly bothered by the situation he found himself in and perhaps a little thankful too. He knew that he was ready to give his life for the sake of the others and had hoped to see Rin. That would let him know that he truly had been forgiven. Unfortunately, since his heroic moment was ruined by the rabbit 'goddess', he wouldn't know now. Although, the books he had been looking at, somehow connect to his world and focus on his sensei's son Naruto. It doesn't surprise him so much given what he knows of the boy and how magnetic and charismatic he is. What does surprise him is that he can feel the connection between this place and his world through these 'manga'. Tracing some words with his finger that appeared to be written by the girl, he finishes with the last book. Apparently, his idea was supposed to work and he would have passed on. Somehow it didn't and even though he can't be sure, he thinks it might have something to do with those words on the page; along with some lingering emotions of sadness and despair. Now to ask the girl and find out anything more. So far he knows that he was sent into another dimension and that the people here are able to read about him and his world. They also may have the ability to affect what's going on in the shinobi world "but how?". He can still sense small amounts of chakra nearby. The girl has some, she might even be able to train with it. There's only one other significant chakra signature and it appears to belong to an older male. Using his sharingan, Obito can see faint traces of it in the living room and even around himself, "he must've helped the girl bring me in".

It was another hour before anyone made any movement. The silence had continued to linger. Thankfully while sitting together on the couch, it hadn't turned into a tense night. Obito had placed all the manga down on the night table and then turned to face you, wincing slightly as it had irritated his wound. He continued to look into your eyes and at your face, like he was trying to find something that he hadn't realized was there. It gave you the chills, or maybe that was alcohol but it didn't help much either way. You held his stare, well you tried and then blinked; which then lead to you getting a fit of giggles as well as a blush and maybe a little aroused. Well, if he knew then he didn't mention anything. He did chuckle a little when you rolled off the couch. He waited until you sat back up and the after a swift movement of his hands, there was a one handed sign and words muttered too quick for your comprehension and then two fingers poking your forehead and lingering. It made you jump a little and you looked a bit shocked, whether it was because the action was so random or that it reminded you of Itachi; you didn't know. Your heart and lungs were on their way to calming when Obito then brought his other hand closer to your face, still looking so serious and yet gentle at the same time. He spoke finally and it took you awhile to realize that you understand completely.

"Tell me what these words mean? Why are they written here?"
