[ the shock and panic on his face is easy to read. maybe she was being too subtle for him before... here she'd been thinking she was doing an awful job at being subtle and worrying she would ruin things. ]

Yes, with you. [ she reaches out with damp fingers to brush some of his hair off his forehead and then cup his cheek. ] You've done some awful things, I can't deny that. But you're repenting. Atoning. You're a good man when you let yourself be. It wasn't hard to fall for the person who's been my friend and constant support.

[ her team has always been there, of course. but they've had lives and missions over the past two years and change. obito has been there for her quite literally whenever she's needs him. he's a good friend, and almost as good as a second parent to sarada with how involved he is in her life. really, it should almost have been expected that this would happen.

but it's a shock to him. and it doesn't seem like a completely good one. ]

Like I said, I can drop it and pretend this never happened if that's what you want. [ her expression shows just how much she doesn't want that to happen. now that it's out in the open, she wants it to stay that way. wants their relationship to progress. but for sarada's sake, she'll be willing to let it go. ]
