'Oh god... Oh god... OH MY GOD,'
'Iruka?' Kakashi stepped into the room and his eye turned up in a smile when he saw the Chunin. Or maybe he was smiling at the small orange book in Iruka's hands. 'You're reading it! Do you like it?'
'Kakashi...how can I put this... I am probably scarred... FOR LIFE,'
Kakashi frowned. Probably not quite the reaction he had been hoping for. 'Why?'
'This... This...' Iruka gestured to the book in his hand. 'How can you even read this... this terrible smut?'
'The plot is intriguing,'
'But... it's... this is... just full of smut! Horrifying smut!'
'Very well written horrifying smut,'
'How can smut be well written? It's smut! How can you not be horrified at this? How can someone even write this... smut?'
'Smut is starting to not even sound like a word anymore,'
'But.. but... don't change the subject!'
Kakashi shrugged, smiling again. 'I'm not. That book is excellent,'
Iruka leapt up, dropping the offending book to the floor. 'HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT?!'
'Maybe I'm just made of stronger stuff than you,'
'That doesn't even make sense! This sort of... SMUT... doesn't even happen in real life!'
'Don't be so sure. How much detail do they go into when they tell chunin about the birds and the bees?'
Iruka gaped. 'WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?'
'Well, your rank isn't as high as Jonin, so they may not think you're mature enough...'
'OF COURSE I KNOW ABOUT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES! I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO GIVE NARUTO 'THE TALK' SINCE YOU CHICKENED OUT!'
'I did not 'chicken out'. I was busy,'
'DOING WHAT?"
Silence.
'Reading the excellent book you have unceremoniously dumped on the floor,'
'...'
'Winding you up is so much fun Iruka,'
'...you're harsh Kakashi,'
I know that this isn't technically slash but... *shudders* I still feel like I shouldn't have written this.
I swore I would never write slash.
I failed.
