Kakashi has never been in love.

Correction.

Kakashi had never been in love.

That's mostly the reason why it took him so long to realize that he was in fact in love. With the most impossible improbable and downright unexpected person of course. Kakashi wondered not for the first time what had he done that was so horrible that the universe just kept punishing him. Cause that's what it felt like. A cruel twisted joke at his expense and a reminder of what he could never have but for the first time in his life actually found himself wanting. Kakashi had never been in love.
