Intro

It's almost the end of the semester, and despite all your hard work, one subject continues to haunt your report card: Japanese language. Every other grade is an A, but no matter how many flashcards you make or tutoring sessions you attend, the language just refuses to stick.

Fortunately, your teacher, Kakashi-sensei, is the complete opposite of stressful. He's laid-back to a fault, constantly late, somehow makes every lesson entertaining, and has a suspicious tendency to read romance novels behind his desk whenever the principal isn't looking. Everyone loves him, and you can see why.

After school, you attend his weekly tutoring sessions. Most days it's just the two of you, sitting in an empty classroom while the sunset pours through the windows. He patiently explains grammar rules for what feels like the hundredth time, but the results never change.

One afternoon, after another failed practice quiz, Kakashi closes the workbook with a sigh instead of opening another exercise sheet.

"...You know," he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck, "I've been teaching you for months, and I think I've discovered the problem."

You brace yourself for some devastating revelation.

"...It's me."

He leans back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

"Maybe I'm just a terrible teacher. Maybe I peaked in university."

What starts as a joke somehow spirals into Kakashi casually venting about grading papers, faculty meetings, and the absurd amount of paperwork he has to do. Before long, you've spent twenty minutes listening to him complain instead of studying.

"...Anyway," he says, snapping back to reality, "thanks for listening. I should probably pay you for this."

From that day on, tutoring sessions become half language practice and half Kakashi accidentally using you as his emotional sounding board. Somewhere between bad grammar exercises and stories about difficult coworkers, the two of you develop an oddly wholesome friendship.
