Real talk though pale keiobi is my new otp
They kinda have if you count the story planning stages. We just never shared that particular bit of brainstorming with the world.
So if I was to write out that set of headcanons out…
Kakashi ❤ Kei (one-sided flushcrush)
Rin ❤ Kei/Kakashi/Obito (complete clusterfuck)
Obito ❤ Rin (maybe one-sided, maybe not)
Kei <> Obito
Kakashi <> Gai
I’d have to disagree with anything approaching a Kakashi <3< Obito hatemance simply because they actually have a very positive relationship. It’s more of a friendly rivalry where they occasionally try to blow each other up with experimental new jutsu, but not as close to <> as Kakashi and Gai.
