But I'm not his father. And in his case, that's probably a good thing.

Hah? I'm not expecting you to scold him and ground him.

I only have so much right to meddle as a teacher.

I only meant that it's probably fair for you to know. He's an adult, after all.

Yes, and as such we should trust his judgment.

...

I guess.

Not that I blame you for being worried.

It's not that I don't trust his judgement. I know I'm not being entirely rational with any of this.

It's okay. I understand the kind of feelings that come with being master and student. I've been on both ends of it.

It's not really that, either... but thank you, Minato.

[cautiously]

Is it something more...?

[I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS QUESTION]

Something more?

You're both adults, I wouldn't stop you, even if it isn't something we usually condone.

[wait. Wait. You did say YOU WANTED TO GIVE ME AND KAKASHI MORE SPACE]

Stop ... what?

Stop two consenting adults.

[this is awkward for him, too]

[OH MY GOD]

WE'RE NOT CONSENTING TO ANYTHING! That's not what's going on at all!

[considering for a moment]

Kakashi is hard to read sometimes. He may share your feelings and just not know how to show it. Give it time.

I don't have feelings for Kakashi! He's my teacher!

Don't worry, I won't say anything to Kakashi about this. That is something you will have to handle yourself.

Would you listen to me already!? Don't go on assuming such weird things. That's not how I view him at all!

Then I'm not sure I understand. You care about him as more than just a teacher, but not in a romantic way?

Why would I care about him in a romantic way? He's twice my age, constantly messes with me, and I haven't actually even ever seen his face.

And I didn't say I care him more than just a teacher! Of course I see him as a comrade and a friend too, but that all goes together.

You wouldn't be the first person to fall for their teacher.

And I would think all those things are inherent in the relationship you already have.

I didn't fall for him! Exactly what gave you this impression!? Is that why you want to give us more space!?

[that is a very convenient lie]

Now that you mention it...
