AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is crap,but I felt the urge..it didn't come out nearly like my imagination well..imagined it,but deal with it.
DISCLAIMER:..fanfiction..and not even well-written fanfiction at that,lol
June 15,Father's Day.This day was like any other simple holiday;cards were given,sometimes gifts,hugs and kisses and stories.For Iruka today was a day that he smiled on,but never celebrated.Having no children of his own,excluding all his beloved students,Iruka spent the day in the missions office,collecting reports and filing missions.He smiled as he listened to his fellow ninjas chat about their children and the cards and gifts they'd received. He smiled as he wished a happy father's day to the men with children,and he smiled as he cleaned up his space and started on his way home,waving to families as they picniced and bonded.He smiled all the way to his house,smiled while he scratched the ears of the neighbor's cat,and smiled as he nodded to others and went inside.He smiled until he was alone,and then he went about making some tea.
As Iruka was setting the water to boil he heard a knock on his front door.Curious,he made his way to the living room,as the door popped open itself and revealed a blonde head.
"Iruka-sensei?"Naruto called,eyes lighting as he caught sight of his old teacher.Iruka waved him inside and smiled
"What can I do for you,Naruto?"he asked,watching as the young man crept towards the coffee table,hands behind his back.
"Oh,nothing,I was just taking a break and came to see what you were doing tonight?Because,if you're not busy..I was thinking,..we could go to dinner?My treat."Naruto grinned,adjusting the hat that hung around his neck,one hand still behind his back.
Iruka smiled,surprised,but pleasantly,"Of course,that'd be wonderful.Thank you."
Naruto grinned and let his other hand come forward,a flat,wide box with an orange ribbon tied around it in his hand.Iruka's eyebrow quirked as the boy pressed the gift into his hand,motioning for him to open it.Iruka smiled,a bit confused,and undid the tie,pulling the lid off.Naruto watched expectantly,and a bit nervously,as his favorite sensei sighed,a real,small smile tugging at his lips.A grin pulled at the young hokage's face as Iruka's eyes met his,a larger smile breaking out on his face as well.
"What's this for?"he asked,pulling a framed photo from the box and setting the box on his table.Naruto grinned,blushing a bit,
"It's a present..for father's day..I mean..I know that technically..but..well..I always sorta think of you as..you know..my father...do you like it?"he scratched nervously at his earlobe,watching as Iruka touched the glass of the frame.The photo was a simple shot,taken on the day of Naruto's inauguration as the newest hokage.It had been taken by Anko;Iruka stood next to Kakashi,an arm around Naruto's shoulders,like a proud parent.A calm Sasuke to the left of the blonde,Sakura's smiling face between the two,her arms around their necks,and Sai,pressed under Kakashi's right arm,a small smile on his own face.It looked like a family picture,and Iruka smiled as he looked up at his would-be son.
"I love it Naruto..I couldn't have asked for anything better..thank you."He set the photo on the coffee table,pulling the smiling boy into his arms and hugging him tight.Naruto grinned into his favorite teacher's chest,"Happy Father's Day."
Iruka hugged him tighter.
