[FIC] Introductions - Pakkun POV

Title: Introductions
Summary: Their contract was made with the Hatake clan generations ago; it's inevitable that Hatake Kakashi will have a pack.
Notes: Based on this comic about Gai meeting Pakkun by shittilydrawing

All of Hatake Sakumo’s dogs had been white, most of them big and fluffy. Sakumo — who’d died before Pakkun was even old enough to speak — had had one specialized tracker, three combat-specialized dogs, and one dog that could do either but was also suited for carrying messages over long distances.

The humans had called him White Fang, and when Pakkun was a pup those white dogs had lolled in the grasses of home and talked about how strong their human was, how fierce, how loyal. Thrilling stories, like myth and legend, and none of them had ever, ever wanted to talk about how Hatake Sakumo died.

“Kakashi’s my summoner now, so I have to know,” Pakkun had eventually argued, hardly realizing at the time that he was even more of a child than Kakashi, unblooded and idealistic. He had not been deterred by offers to play, by friendly roughhousing, by the oft-stated promise that knowledge would come with time. “Some things can’t wait,” he’d told Sakumo’s pack.

“This one isn’t white, either, right?”

Wow, wow I'm just going to lie down and not get up yes thank you. Kakashi feels, SAKUMO FEELS, pack feels, and Gai. Literally there is nothing more in the world I could want. This hits everything.

I haven't signed up because I'm wayyy too busy and also not super into ships, but I always creep on the sign ups for things I might want to treat.
