There is a young man that lives in the apartment next to his. He 's a few years older than Kakashi, though he 's never held that over the younger 's head. He is bright and kind and Kakashi would give his life for the other in a heartbeat.

It takes him until he is seventeen to discover that they are soulmates. He 'd been wishing it were true since he was five years old. Minato has a smile that can lift his heart from even the darkest of the places that it falls to. He has strong arms that give the best of hugs. And he has a mind quick enough to keep up with someone three years younger yet somehow going through the same college course. They had attended high school together as well after Kakashi skipped a few grades, his mind too far advanced for his age mates.
