001. Candy beans
"How did you know I was feeling down, Hatake-san?"
Kakashi shrugged in reply. From his slumped position at the desk, Iruka blinked at the small jar of colorful candy beside his head. Dark rings circled his eyes. His hair was escaping from his usual ponytail, ebony strands wisping here and there and everywhere. Kakashi watched as the teacher sat up and carefully took the jar into his hands.
"Candy beans," Iruka murmured, twisting off the lid and selecting a lemon yellow candy.
He smiled, eyes lighting up.
"Well damn, Hatake-san. You're a man after my own heart."
Aren't the green ones supposed to be lucky? -SHQ
