So i just went through the entire blog till the very first page(love this story) and i was wondering about your describe-Kei-in-one-word post. Kakashi called Kei: anchor. Wasn’t Minato his anchor? Like that’s a pretty big thing to call Kei. And how is Kei his anchor? And what’s Minato to him then? If you don’t mind me asking. Kakashi’s mindset is very hard to understand.

cyb-by-lang:

Minato occupies the slot called “Parent” or “Older Brother Figure” or “Mentor.” Or rather, all three.

The reason Kei is Kakashi’s “Anchor” is because the term can be used two ways. Both as a point of stability–what with Obito having vanished after Kannabi and Rin not actually being on their team–and as an occasional dead weight that might be considered holding him back. Such is love.
