----------------------------------------------------

This was the third time Umino Iruka was assigned to take care of the Copy-Nin after an injury. First, they stayed in the hospital since it was short-staffed. Second was just a week at Iruka's place since Kakashi was still extremely woozy but could at least move. This time, they were in Kakashi's since Iruka was moving to a different apartment and there wasn't much furniture…

But three times!! Iruka was getting annoyed. Why him? Why did Kakashi always request him? But I want Iruka-sensei to take care of me, Tsunade. Iruka is so kind. Iruka cooks well. So he wasn't really complaining about the compliments, because those are always really nice to hear, but Kakashi was messy. At Iruka's he had left towels everywhere, he stumbled around naked when he thought Iruka wasn't looking, he never once let Iruka take off his mask. And here! This was even worse! It smelled of dog, it was dusty, messy, the walls were bare, those damn Icha Icha books were everywhere, there was porn in the bathroom…

"Iruka-sensei?"

"What?"

"Try not to dig your knife into my table."

He stared down at his hand holding a large steak knife, tip plunged into the wood. He had dug a little hole into the table during his thoughts.

"Oh. Sorry, Kakashi-san."

"Mm."

But the one thing that really got to Iruka and what made him glad that this was his last day to watch over Kakashi was something that happened just two nights ago:

Iruka had been in the shower standing under the water thinking empty thoughts to himself when he heard the curtain open beside him and watched as Kakashi - still masked- step in under the water. All thoughts immediately fell from his mind and he could do nothing but gape at the pale man that was completely and utterly naked.

K-k-k-k-kashi? Kakashi? What the "Fuck?"

"Excuse me?" He asked sleepily.

Iruka cupped his hands around his precious and backed into the tiles, mouth agape. He tried- don't look down don't look down, Iruka – not to pay attention to the naked aspect of Kakashi-

"What are you doing?"

"Lathering my hair."

"But-but you don't get into the shower right now."

"But it's my house."

"Yeah, but I'm in here!"

"So?" He rinsed and reached behind Iruka for the soap, expelling a squeak from Iruka who immediately dived out for a towel and rushed for Kakashi's room. He slammed the door behind him, panting and completely nerve shaken. Yes, it was true that he liked Kakashi, at least a little bit, but.. "The drugs, he's on pain killers, lots and lots of painkillers, he didn't know what he was doing, oooohhh Kami." He sat huddled on the floor before he remembered he came in here to grab fresh clothes and leave to tell Tsunade that he was done and Kakashi was fine and-

"Iruka?"

He squeaked again, jumped up and tightened his hold on his towel.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE NAKED, KAKASHI??? Did you ever think that maybe I don't want to see your penis dangling this way and that around your home? It's unsanitary besides! You have dogs around here and it's smelly and you never clean so what kind of infections do you think you could get-"

He was silenced by a cloth-covered kiss and a press to the chest. After a moment's hesitation, Iruka managed to push him back and grab his clothes, running to the main room. He heard the door click and used that time to dress swiftly. Then he left, dodging past Pakkun and out the door, rushing as fast he could to the Hokage's.

"Tsunade!" He screamed, slamming open her office door. "He was naked! I'm done! Get someone else!"

Tsunade blinked once before breaking a smile and laughed. A moment later Shizune joined in and both women where hysterical until Shikamaru entered and stood beside Iruka who was still in terrified-and-scared-for-life-position.

"Tsu-sunade-sama?" He straightened up and squeaked when he saw Shikamaru standing beside him.

"Woah, Iruka-sensei. What happened to you?"

Iruka remembered that he hadn't tied up his hair and he was probably still slightly wet under his shirt which wasn't very neat and Shizune and Tsunade had finally stopped laughing.

"He saw Kakashi naked," Tsunade said. "You scream like a little girl, sensei. And act like one." She sighed, "You have two more days to go. Anyone would kill to be in your position, Iruka."

He looked at Shikamaru beside him who shrugged and offered a half-smile. Iruka sighed and trudged out the door to reluctantly return to the apartment.
