.o0o.o0o.o0o.o0o.o0o.

The sky was a dark blue as the sun had set. The moon was an orb in the sky, casting a dim yellow glow on the citizens of Konohagakure. The wind gently blew and pushed the thick clouds of smoke away. The night was cold and brisk. The air was crispy and clear. This night--tonight--couldn't have been so beautiful.

Iruka sat back on his house's rooftop and watched the sky. He carried with himself only a blanket and some alcohol, but not enough to get him drunk.

The sky was suddenly set ablaze with light. Dazzling beads of amber and gold, shards of amethyst and jade--the colors where like beautiful crystals set free upon the darkened backwash.

Iruka smiled to himself, despite his day. Naruto would have probably enjoyed today. Moron doesn't really understand why he was so happy when Sasuke asked him out today. I can't wait until he realizes what he really feels... Iruka chuckled to himself.

"What's so funny?" A voice called out from behind Iruka. Iruka turned and smiled. Kakashi stood in civilian clothing--he wore tight black pants with a dark gray muscle shirt, though he still wore that mask and hitai-ate.

"Nothing. Would you like to take a seat?" Kakashi walked forward to the offered seat and sat. There they sat in silence. Iruka had, apparently, not gotten over how Kakashi had acted that day. "How did you find me?"

Kakashi seemed to take a moment to think this over. "When you have something really important to tell someone, you can always find a way to get to them." Kakashi finally responded. Iruka stayed deep in thought for a moment, simply watching the fireworks. Kakashi, however, stayed looking at Iruka. He looks so beautiful when he wasn't chucking things at me... Kakashi thought. The light got Iruka at the perfect angle, splashing his face with a multitude of colors.

This only made Kakashi more sure of what he wanted to tell Iruka.

"What did you want to tell me?" Iruka asked, turning around. His breath hitched in his throat and he could feel his face heating up with color. Kakashi had seamlessly removed his mask. Kakashi's face was a tad bit lighter than the rest of his body, and each detail of his face was finely chiseled. He's so...cute--I mean Handsome!...right?

Kakashi was so close to Iruka--their lips nearly meeting. "Its not as much say as it is do" Kakashi whispered. He closed the short distance between their lips, brushing those delicious lips when--

"Kakashi-sensei! Iruka-sensei!" Boomed a loud, obnoxious blonde from behind the two. Iruka's face exploded in blush as he looked at Kakashi, who already had his mask up. His mask wasn't so thick as for Iruka not to see the light pink blush on these marble cheeks.

"Did we interrupt something?" Sasuke asked with a snickering tone to his voice. Iruka looked at Kakashi with pleading eyes. Kakashi plastered a false smile to his face and turned to Sasuke and Naruto.

"Are you guys on a date or something?"

Iruka smiled. That surely shut Sasuke up. The four of them sat--Kakashi, Naruto, and then Iruka--in that order. Iruka couldn't help but notice the light blush that was almost plastered to both Sasuke and Kakashi's faces. Time pasted so quickly, and the two pairs found themselves walking the streets of Konoha at dusk. Iruka, tired and well, tired, decided to walk home with Kakashi.

Iruka thought about that almost kiss, and pouted. He had gotten a taste and wanted more. Exactly across the street from Iruka's house was an alley, and he decided to act.

Kakashi was walking quietly, until he felt his back rammed against a wall. Then his face got cold, and he felt a nice, warm, and tingling feeling. Iruka was kissing the living daylights out of Kakashi.

A few more fireworks popped in the distance The colors shot far in the sky, disrupting the already calm village.
