Kakairu

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

-Mm. The quiet sound was lonely in the dark room but not alone, with it you could hear the breathing of two Konoha village ninjas' silently resting after a long day and night.

The jounin slowly opened his eyes, he felt refreshed, and something felt heavy on his chest. He gazed down to find his nose buried in a sea of silky brown hair, the person sleeping beside him, resting his head on the ninja's right arm and with his arm over Kakashi's chest, was his beloved. Seems that I was a bit too rough, sorry Iruka.. For Hatake Kakashi, the famous copy ninja, this was the best feeling, to be near his most beloved person. Even though his younger lover had to go through a lot of teasing and needed to be mentally prepared to be able to live together with someone with a personality like Kakashi's, he knew how much Iruka loved him back. And he lay there, just watching his peacefully sleeping one for a very long time before he fell asleep again himself.

"Kakashi, wake up! Breakfast's been ready for a while now, get up!" Someone exclaimed from the other room. The sun shined through the thin white curtains and the birds were singing up to each other, competing over which one of them could make the most noise. Kakashi smelled coffee and he could hear the noises of somebody busy in the kitchen.

"Nn…" was the only sound slipping through the tired jounin's lips. Trying to make Iruka enter the bedroom again, he saw the bouquet of white and red roses, together, unity.

"Just a little while more." He pleaded. What time is it? I fell asleep again after watching him. It had been a few hours since then considering the light outside. It must be past nine. Kakashi got up in sitting position and a head appeared in the door to the bedroom.

"No way, I've already tried to wake you up for one and a half hour, you can't be lying in the bed all day, we have plans." The pony-tailed man replied, looking both frustrated and disappointed.

"I'm sorry I'm not as energetic as you in the mornings love, but that's because I'm using up all of my energy in the nights." He said and grinned wide. Resting his chin in his hand waiting for the reaction he wanted so dearly.

"Wha…!" Iruka said before he looked away, his face burning in a crimson color by the thought of the previous night. This sight was irresistible for Kakashi who within one second was standing behind Iruka and hugging the chuunin tightly. There was a slight smell of soap and Iruka's hair was damp so he must have had taken a shower this morning, Kakashi caressed a piece of Iruka's hair and gave it a light kiss.

"What were you thinking of love, your face is red" Kakashi teased and felt amusement when Iruka didn't reply. Iruka looked up in Kakashi's mask less face, the only time he did not wear his turtleneck was when he was sure that they were alone, it would get in the way of kissing, Kakashi thought to himself. Kakashi had his scarred sharingan eye closed and gazed down into Iruka's brown ones with the other one.

"Ka, Kakashi, what're you doing?" Iruka stammered, Kakashi touched his cheek and turned his head to kiss him, Iruka was swept away by the passion and dropped the ladle he had brought from the kitchen. He turned around and Kakashi tightened his grip around the chunin's waist while Iruka himself laid his arms around Kakashi's neck. The kiss became deeper and to Kakashi's amusement, Iruka gladly invited him to play all he wanted. Just like in the latest volume of Icha Icha, ch 7. That's what Kakashi was thinking. But if he'd said that out loud, he was sure he'd receive a kick in the ass, so he suppressed the impulse. They slowly parted and Kakashi placed Iruka's head gently against his chest.

"It's so great that I can wake up to see your blushing face in the mornings, love." Kakashi said and Iruka turned red once again but he came to his senses when he felt a weird smell coming out from the kitchen.

"Kakashi, let me go." Iruka said and pushed Kakashi a little. The thought of getting free was top priority right now.

"Not a chance, I could stay like this forever." Kakashi murmured and hugged Iruka even tighter, making it a bit difficult for his younger lover to breath.

"NO KAKASHI! THE SOUP! THEY SOUP'S ON THE STOVE!" Iruka was now yelling and pushing Kakashi harder, to get the ninja to realize that the condition of the kitchen was in danger and with his plans for the day he did not want to spend it cleaning up the kitchen after a miso-bomb.

"Oh damn." Kakashi replied and they both runned out in the kitchen to find the miso soup that Iruka had been preparing for breakfast was over boiling. Iruka grabbed an oven glove and shoved Kakashi to the side, whom had tried to take the casserole in the hot handle but, of course, got burned. At least nothing was on fire but the soup got slightly burned and Iruka insisted on making a new one.

"Love, there is no need for you to make another set of soup, I'm perfectly fine with yesterdays leftovers." Kakashi tried not to make Iruka's work this morning a bigger nuisance since they hardly ever had the opportunity to take a day off from school/missions together. He rinsed his hand under the cool water and received a tube of Aloe Vera from Iruka whom looked down at the floor.

"But I'm not, I wanted to make it special for you Kakashi, but I messed up again, it seems that I can't do anything right." Iruka started to chop a piece of Tofu and tried hard to smile a bit.

"That's not true Iruka! It's my fault that the soup got burned, because I'm the one who's lusting for you so early in the morning!" Kakashi knew it was his fault for causing Iruka such a lot of work, he's always cleaning and cooking, taking care of him and never tells me what's really on his mind, keeping heavy burdens all to himself.

Iruka didn't say anything for reply but quietly continued with the soup and seemed to be thinking about something important. Kakashi whom noticed this, got closer to Iruka and smiled happily.

"Come on Iruka, there's nothing special with this day, you can make soup another day, I'm sure it would be delicious." But right after finishing that sentence, he realized his mistake. Iruka looked up with a slightly hurt expression that made Kakashi's heart skip a beat.

"Err, there is something special with today, is there not?" Kakashi's brain made a fast system check. What's today's date? When it comes to time,Kakashi must be the worst in planning and getting to a place in time, even though few knew the reason for this, he was not the kind of person to blame it on that reason. Especially not that reason.

"Well I didn't really expect you to remember anyways, so I guess that it doesn't matter." Iruka said and looked down in the saucepan with the ruined soup.

Kakashi didn't really know what to say in response, he searched through his mind, what is it that is so special with today? Then he realized that Iruka had put the new soup on the stove and already left Kakashi by the dining table.

"I'm so sorry Iruka, I, I can't find it in my mind, I can't even remember today's date." Kakashi whimpered with a desperate face. Iruka thought that the man looked like a wounded puppy.

"It's your birthday you good for nothing jounin!" Iruka said while he smiled. Handing over a tube of aloe vera to a confused looking Kakashi.

"Huh?" Kakashi replied, who received the tube without thinking about what he should use it for but still wondering over today's date.

Iruka stepped closer and pressed his lips softly against Kakashi, took the tube once again and squeezed out a small amount of the transparent gel on his finger, starting to rub it were Kakashi had burned himself. "I said that it is your birthday Hatake Kakashi, September 15th."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Kakashi said, his eyes crooked in a happy smile but a hand covering the big grin he had on his lips. Iruka started to sense danger, when it comes to make use of the opportunity given, Kakashi was unbeatable.

"So that means you'll do as I request today love?" Kakashi sat down on one of the kitchen chairs, his head tilting to the side and with a facial expression of total satisfaction. "Well I could live with that" he continued, the wind blew in the curtains, making them move aside and let in more sunlight. Kakashi's vision of Iruka was that he looked golden in the morning light, making his fantasy go wild.

Iruka could see the dreamy face of Kakashi's and as for to hide his blushing face he threw a dishcloth at him but Kakashi easy parried it and the dishcloth continued on its own adventure, out of the window. Both of the men looked after it, staring at the window and waiting for a scream from somebody on the street who unwillingly had received a new hat. But no scream came; Iruka sighed and sat down on a chair at the other side of the table.

"You should be more careful love, so that you don't do anything you'll regret" Kakashi teased. Iruka looked up and glared at Kakashi.

"Anyways, we'll go shopping for dinner later, I'll make you whatever you want." Iruka said and reached for the piece of paper and a pen he had put on the table earlier, ready to make a shopping list.

"Hmm, then, would you make me a buffet?" Kakashi asked with a happy face.

"A whole buffet? I don't think we'd eat that much food Kakashi" Iruka replied.

"Well, it doesn't have to be a lot of all but more like small dishes that are easy to just put in your mouth, a few dumplings maybe and some squid rings" Kakashi said as he thought of how yummy Iruka's cooking is.

"Don't you want dumplings served with rice then? It wouldn't get so sticky as it would if you pick a lot of small dishes." Iruka said and thought about the cleaning up.

"Well that doesn't really matter since it's going to be sticky anyways, since I plan on using you as a plate love." Kakashi said and smiled when he had now told Iruka the plan.

"What did you say?" Iruka asked in disbelief.

"Well, yes, I've always wanted a human plate, licking and biting you all over as I can enjoy my favorite flavors altogether (that includes you) seems like such a wonderful thing, and since it is my birthday I thought that you might agree to that." Kakashi's eyes were now shaped as inverted U's.

Iruka didn't have the chance to more than open his mouth because at that moment someone knocked on the door. He turned his head and looked out in the hallway, a fast glare at Kakashi and an expression saying "you just wait" before he stood up and started leaving the room.

"Coming." He said and reached for the door handle. When he opened the door, there was a tall man in chunin clothing, with black hair, an unshaved face and with a dishcloth on his head standing in front of him.

"Asuma-sensei, what, aah!" Iruka quickly took the dishcloth from Asuma's head and bowed in an excuse.

"I'm sorry Asuma-sensei, I ,missed the real target." Iruka said and stood up straight again.

"And the targeted one was your idiot for a lover I guess?" Asuma sensei said and fished up a cigarette from his pocket, Iruka stood there just looking at his colleague, idiot for a lov… does he know about me and Kakashi? Iruka still didn't say anything and suddenly Kakashi had popped up behind him.

"Who do you call an idiot?" He asked, now with the turtleneck on so that it was harder to read an expression based on just his face.

"You of course." Asuma replied and lightened the cigarette.

"Okay, guilty as said then." Kakashi said and his eyes curled into a smile. With the three of them still standing in the door, Kakashi and Asuma smiling and Iruka with a confused expression on his face.

"Well, I just came to your house Iruka-sensei, 'cause I thought that this is where he'd probably be, to deliver a present when I suddenly got a dirty cloth in my face, coming from yer window."

"What present?" Kakashi asked, now interested in what he might receive from a good old drinking partner.

"Well, I heard it's yer birthday today and I thought to give ya somethin' nice." Asuma said and handed over a badly wrapped up present.

"Ooh, thank you, I'll open it later together with the rest." He was referring to when he will 'open up Iruka' and smiled at the thought.

Asuma leaved after Kakashi apologized once more for the dishcloth and when he'd closed the door after him he met Iruka's angry face.

"Don't look at me like that love, he and I are good friends."

"Kakashi, our relationship is supposed to be held a secret, right?" Iruka growled.

"Dear, you can kick me again tomorrow, but please let us go out shopping before its lunchtime and the streets will be so full of people that I can't squeeze your hand once in a while." Kakashi said and looked at Iruka with puppy eyes.

"Alright, we'll take this later, but you'll see we'll talk about it." Iruka replied and started to put on his shoes, it was still warm outside so he didn't need a jacket.

"Yes love." Kakashi said and just smiled.

About fifteen minutes later, the two ninjas had entered the market, picking out the best vegetables and the finest pieces of meat. Kakashi's only mission today was to find some nice sake for the two of them to drink. Iruka had no intention of letting the whole 'human plate' thing come true, but he decided that he'd make a lot of food fitting for a buffet.

They were walking and socializing with others in their own ways, they would have wanted to stay close but had to hold at least a little bit of distance not to make a ruckus. Iruka was talking to the children about not running on the streets because it's dangerous and Kakashi was joking with the man at the bookstore. On their way to the ceramics shop to buy new plates since there had been a few plates and glasses broken the last few days because of Pakkun, the dog that Kakashi kept, they bumped in to Jiraiya who gave Kakashi a fresh unpublished copy of Icha Icha paradise. The reason for them to bump in to Jiraiya was that the red light district is pretty close to ceramics shop; you could either go right or left. Iruka had walked away, to the right, a bit embarrassed but still a little happy since Kakashi really love those books.

As he continued towards the ceramic shop he almost got hit to the ground by a hyper Naruto, he scolded him and they talked for a bit, Iruka told Naruto that it was Kakashi's birthday and Naruto told him what a jerk Sasuke was and that Sakura-chan ignored him. That Naruto has got a crush on Sakura is not how Iruka see it, the love that Iruka sees is that of a fan has for an idol. That the three of them are best friends though, is something that he is sure of. When Iruka once again found Kakashi after he had bought the last things needed, they returned to the apartment without any more interruptions.

Right after they got home they started unpacking the food. Iruka picked out a few bowls and different knifes, Kakashi who was more dangerous in the kitchen than a Rhino in a glass shop started to clean the living room since he basically didn't think that his birthday was that special a day and he would rather see Iruka happy than receive gifts. Pakkun was resting on the sofa, he had just barked a little when they came in but quietly continued to snore on top of a blue pillow. Right now Kakashi thought that Pakkun looked like the real birthday boy, relaxing all he wanted like that, but I shall enjoy that book in the near future, he thought for himself and continued to swipe the floor.

Iruka was standing in the kitchen chopping onions for the minced beef meat which was meant for the dumplings. He took the dough he had prepared and put about a spoonful of the meat in there, wrapped it and twisted it, in the meantime as he waited for the water to boil, Iruka fried the squid rings. The squid rings are one of Kakashi's favorites he thought and concentrated, not to make them overdone.

Kakashi could smell the wonderful aroma of fried squid, he hadn't eaten since earlier this afternoon when the old ladies at the stands offered small tastes of their dishes. Apparently, a ninja like him needs a lot of energy when he has so difficult missions, even though Kakashi had answered that he had a day off and therefore don't need any extra energy (for other than making love to Iruka) but they had ignored him and made him taste anyway.

The food was almost ready for the table, Iruka chopped a few more vegetables and put them in a bowl together with mushrooms. Suddenly he heard something that sounded like a quiet thump, did Kakashi drop something? He wondered and looked out in the hallway where Kakashi was standing holding something in his right hand.

"Kakashi, did you drop something?" Iruka asked and stepped out in the hallway with his eyes on whatever it was that Kakashi was holding. It looked like a piece of paper, something scribbled on the front side.

"Heh, that kid sure is something, ain't he." Kakashi said and wiped his eyes. When Iruka got closer he could see that the piece of paper actually was a homemade birthday card from Naruto, they scribbles said "Happy birthday Kakashi sensei!" and "Make Iruka sensei happy!" with a drawing of Naruto himself with a party hat and a small text saying "let's celebrate with ramen tomorrow!." Inside the card, there was a photo of team seven, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura on line with Kakashi leaning over them, it was one of the best photos Iruka had ever seen of Kakashi and his eyes too became a little cloudy of tears.

"He even made the others sign it huh? I bet he walks around with a bruise somewhere on his face by now." Kakashi said, and he was right, inside the card it said with different style and size on the letters "congrats Kakashi sensei/Naruto", "Congratulations sensei/Sakura" and "Happy birthday/Sasuke", Iruka pressed himself closer to Kakashi and the two of them stood there for a minute, looking down at the card, it was tied to a smaller rock, which was probably the cause of the low thump sound earlier. He wanted us to find it at once, Iruka smiled to himself, yes Naruto, Ramen would be a good way to celebrate.

The silence was broken by a loud sound from Kakashi's stomach, he was pretty damn hungry by now and he chuckled and hugged Iruka tight. "Won't you let me use your body as a plate, just for tonight Iruka? I'm getting really hungry you know." He whispered in Iruka's ear.

Iruka shuddered and blushed, when Kakashi whispered in a low voice like that, he had a hard time resisting. "Then…" he started, "Then you have to feed me too" he said and hid his face in Kakashi's shirt. Kakashi kissed Iruka's head and replied "Yes love."

Iruka lay on the table with his chest covered with food, he was still wearing his pants and he was happy about it. Kakashi moved closer and slowly bent over Iruka, he started to kiss his cheeks and slowly pulled out the string in his ponytail, letting the hair fall down.

"Hey, you're supposed to eat you know." Iruka said, he was nervous and blushing to his ears.

"I know, I know" Kakashi said and tilted his head to the side, then he lowered his head and started to eat, he started in the middle of Iruka's chest, he took a boiled carrot and swallowed it. Iruka didn't look and Kakashi continued, going closer to the nipple and a fried squid that was place there, after he ate it up, he carefully licked the place where it had been. Iruka let out a small sound which Kakashi could hardly define as a moan. He continued dumpling, squid, piece of yakiniku, mushroom, another dumpling, carrot. He licked all of the sauce traces that the food had left on Iruka's chest and stomach, replacing them with a few hickeys. Iruka moaned quietly and when the food on his body was gone, Kakashi took a dumpling between his teeth and held it over Iruka's mouth, Iruka accepted it and swallowed it, the procedure continued a few minutes and at the same time, Kakashi had his hand stroking Iruka's arms, neck, chest and sides. When they had finished their meal, Kakashi kissed Iruka. Iruka embraced him and kissed him back as much as he could but after a while he let go and gently try to push him away. "Kakashi, wait, this is extremely uncomfortable." Iruka said and sat up, the wooden table is not the best place to do such things.

"Hm, maybe we should change locations then?" Kakashi asked and put his arms around Iruka's waist, pulling him a little closer to the edge of the table. Iruka answered with putting his arms round Kakashi's neck, lifting his head and kissed him on the lips. "Yeah." He said and chuckled.

Pakkun whined when they wouldn´t let him join in the bedroom, Kakashi laughed and said that they needed some privacy and that Pakkun could go look in the kitchen for something delicious to eat. "The floor must be full of food since it was so messy earlier." He said and a pillow hit the back of his head, Iruka was sitting on the bed laughing at the ninja who didn't parry the flying pillow. "That's one hell of a ninja you are." He said and smiled as he blushed slightly.

"I know dear, your dishcloth and pillow attacks are getting hard on me." Kakashi answered and closed the door. He took of his blue shirt and stepped closer to the bed, with a smile that anyone would fall for, he approached Iruka who was sitting perfectly still and red in the face. He kissed his nose and slowly pushed him down on the bed. As he lay over his younger lover, gently pressed together, their breathing started to get heavier as they kissed. He thought that Iruka's lips were soft as satin, he gently claimed the possession of his mouth and was gladly invited, they looked at each other a moment and he couldn't help but to think that he was the happiest man in the world even though those words probably already is just as much of a cliché as gingerbread on Christmas eve, he didn't care.

Iruka pushed himself up against Kakashi, inviting him to continue and whispered "Happy birthday dear." Kakashi smiled and started to place several kisses along the neck and his collarbone, slowly climbing down to the chest where he'd already placed several kiss marks during dinner. One of his hands started to play with a nipple, rubbing and twisting it which made Iruka moan and he started to ground his hips against Kakashi's.

Kakashi started to go even lower to undo the pants, he licked a trace of sensitive skin and Iruka continued to pant lightly. When Kakashi took the top of his erection in his mouth, Iruka moaned loudly, as he took in more of the erection, Iruka curled his fingers in the silver hair of his lover. "Ka… Kakashi, I love you" he said while they continued.

He let go and replied with a low voice "I love you too Iruka." But instead of continuing, he sat up and started to reach for something on the near standing table, what he got hold of was nothing less than the ill wrapped up package that Asuma had come over with earlier that day. Iruka looked at him, wondering what he was doing at such a time, Kakashi pulled off the wrapping and held a bottle of some sort.

"What?" Iruka asked, watching the bottle wondering if it might be whine. Kakashi smiled and opened the bottle, pouring some of the content into his hand.

"It's lube from Asuma sensei." Grinning that perverted smile of his, Kakashi closed the bottle again and waited patiently for a reaction. Iruka stared at the bottle, blushing and thinking that the two teachers have been spending too much time drinking and talking about unnecessary things, but instead of getting mad, he slowly spread his legs and blushed even more deeply.

Kakashi sighed loudly by the sight of this, I'm in paradise, he thought and then he bent over Iruka again, starting to lick a nipple as he slowly pushed a finger inside of him. Encouraged by his moans he slowly stretched him thoroughly before adding another finger, and yet another. Pushing his fingers deep inside of him he ended up brushing against Iruka's prostate which caused him to arch his back and thrust down onto Kakashi's fingers. He slowly pulled them out to replace them with his own erection.

"Iruka, are you ready? He asked knowing the answer but still wanting to be sure. Iruka opened his eyes and looked at Kakashi with half lidded ones.

"Y… yes I am." His voice was trembling, not out of fear but of pleasure. Kakashi slowly pushed his way in and the both of them clinged tightly together. When Iruka's muscles were relaxed he started to thrust in and out.

Iruka wrapped his legs around Kakashi's waist, pulling him closer and urging him deeper, he rocked back at the sensation of the intimacy and he could hear Kakashi moan over him.

The thrusting sounds filled the room together with the both of their moans and the damp sounds of the mattress. The sound of Pakkun whining was long gone and the two lovers kissed passionately, Iruka moaning into Kakashi's mouth, causing him to climax. They were still kissing as they came together, Kakashi pulled out of Iruka and rolled over to the side next to him, holding him tight and this was appreciated since the September night was getting cold. He placed several tired kisses on Iruka's forehead and cheeks.

They lay close, panting and in love when Iruka decided to speak.

"It'll get colder from now on, and before we know it, there will be winter." He said. Kakashi looked at him and thought that he was beautiful, the tanned skin

"But then, the spring will come, the cherry tree on the yard will blossom and we'll celebrate your birth instead, which is the biggest of a blessing that I've ever had." Kakashi said as an answer. Iruka became pink and curled up against Kakashi's chest, happy being there.

"We'll have to thank Naruto tomorrow too." He said, itching his nose and the scar as he said it.

"Yeah… maybe our secret relationship isn't as much of a secret as we thought." Kakashi smiled and pulled the sheets to cover them since it was a bit colder now.

"Haha, maybe not." Iruka answered and soon, the two of them were sound asleep in the bed, this was Kakashi's best birthday ever.
