The fanfictions may also show how their relationship affects those around them. Some of their friends might be accepting, while others could be initially shocked or even opposed. This adds drama to the story as Naruto and Kakashi have to deal not only with their own feelings but also with the reactions of the people in their lives.
In these fanfictions, their relationship might start with a slow - burn. Maybe Kakashi is hesitant at first because of his past traumas and his role as Naruto's teacher. But as time goes on, Naruto's unwavering affection starts to break down Kakashi's walls. Their relationship could be filled with tender moments, like sharing a meal under the stars after a long mission.
Fans often portray Kakashi as initially shocked but then very protective. He's usually shown as using his ninja skills to keep the baby safe, like creating special seals around the nursery.
Often, they start with a lot of tension. Since they have a complex history as rivals, the fanfictions first show them gradually breaking down those barriers. They might start with small acts of kindness towards each other. For example, Naruto might bring Sasuke his favorite food after a tough battle, and Sasuke might show concern when Naruto is injured. This slowly builds into deeper emotional connections where they start to understand each other on a more intimate level.
Typically, in such fanfics, Sasuke might be portrayed as overly cruel or unlikable. His actions and motives could be misrepresented to make him seem like the 'bad guy' in the relationship with Naruto. But this is a very one - sided and unfair view compared to how he is in the original series.
Often, it portrays their relationship in a more intense and complex way. The hypnosis can act as a catalyst. For instance, if Hinata is hypnotized to be more assertive, she might take the lead in their relationship, which is different from her usual shy self.
Writers often portray their relationship as a complex one. At first, it's usually full of mistrust since Scabior is a Snatcher. For example, in many stories, Hermione is initially very wary of him. But then, as the plot unfolds, some writers show a begrudging respect developing between them. Maybe because of Hermione's intelligence and Scabior's street - smart nature.
In these fanfictions, their relationship development might also be shown through their shared experiences outside of the main ninja battles. For instance, they could volunteer together in the village to help rebuild something. During this time, they get to know each other on a deeper level, sharing their hopes and dreams. Naruto might discover Hinata's dreams for the future of the Hyuga clan and how she wants to make it more inclusive, and this makes him admire her even more. As they spend more time together, their relationship deepens, and they start to fall in love.
Often, it portrays a one - sided pursuit at first. Fem Sasuke is constantly trying to be near Naruto, following his every move. Naruto might be a bit oblivious to her obsession at the start, just seeing her as a friend. For example, she might show up wherever Naruto is, whether it's a training session or just him hanging out with friends.
Often, they portray a relationship that starts with animosity. Given their different backgrounds in the original series (Draco as a Slytherin and Hermione as a Gryffindor), there's initial conflict. But in fanfictions, this often turns into a slow - burning attraction. For example, in many, Draco's initially cold exterior begins to melt as he sees Hermione's intelligence and strength.
Often, they are portrayed as a very close and trusting relationship. Ash is shown as a caring trainer, and Lopunny as a loyal Pokemon. For example, in many fanfictions, Lopunny will always be by Ash's side during battles, ready to protect him at all costs.
Often, they start off with a lot of tension. Draco's Slytherin pride and Hermione's Gryffindor determination clash. But as the story progresses in the shower - related setting, they start to see each other in a new light. Maybe they start to respect each other's intelligence.
