a/n: alright Chap 1 is rewritten. i believe it flows better now but i could be wrong. its also a tad longer than the original. now to rewrite chap 2 and finish writing chap 7. dont worry its coming along...eventually. blame work and the economic downturn.

Kakashi had been so horny that it was about time to go to the Castro for another one-night stand. However, he did not feel like sleeping with another random guy. Right now, there was only one person on his mind that he just could't shake.

Lately, other than going to work, sometimes class if he felt motivated, he stayed at home, read porn, and slept. He was not sure what was wrong, it seemed like everything and nothing at the same time. Focusing on tasks were becoming extremely difficult as all thoughts kept wandering to the same thing, Iruka.

Granted the first time he met Iruka he was in a relationship, which ended badly, and thought nothing other than Iruka was extremely cute. Honestly seeing Iruka again never seemed like a possibility due to their having completely different circles of friends. Iruka was an RA in The Towers on campus, whereas Kakashi lived in off campus housing with his roommate Kurenai. Now that he was single he thought it was just lust and wanting to get into the new cute gay boy's pants. Really, who wouldn't? But, through continual meetings because of a mutual friend, Genma, he actually started to like the tan man more than just one-night stand material. It developed into a huge crush.

Summer needed to hurry up to allow more time to relax and actually enjoy going out, without the nagging voice stating he had class the next morning and he REALLY should go to it. Secretly, he wanted his friend's Genma and Raidou to start having more BBQ's at their apartment just so he could hang out with Iruka. Classes were really interferring with his ability to snatch Iruka up.

What could he do to get the adorable pony tailed man to date him? Genma and Raidou already knew of his crush on Iruka. Genma's idea was just to get Iruka drunk and then jump him, tying him to a bed and having his way. It was a very tempting idea. Raidou said Kakashi should just ask him out on a date and ignore Genma's pervertedness. Even though Kakashi was just as perverted as Genma. They did let out that Iruka was starting to become hung up on another RA, who also happened to be straight. Really how was Iruka going to try to convert him? Sure, they had shared a kiss on Halloween but the stupid straight guy had been very drunk and Iruka is looking into it too much. In addition, this guy had a girlfriend on the east coast, so he technically wasnt available.

Kakashi knew he wasn't unattractive but he did know that he seemed unapproachable. He could not really help it, seeing he wasn't too keen on social interactions, especially on campus or in class. His appearance also tended to keep people away. Even in San Francisco it was not every day you saw someone with a vertical scar over the left side of their face with a daunting red eye wearing a mask. His wild silver hair barely made people glance though. They had all seen something more outrageous and honestly so had he. It was San Francisco after all, nothing becomes shocking anymore.

Woke up with yawn. It's dawning, I'm still alive.
Turned on my radio to start up new day Sound disrupting his musings.

Sound interrupted his musings. 'What's that?'

As goddanmed DJ's chattered how to survive
Amazing news got over on the airwave

'Oh yeah forgot I changed my ringtone. Haha silly me.' Picking up usually depended on who was calling and if he felt like talking. This wasn't often. Lazy eyes wandered over the phone.

Tonight, Love is rationed
Tonight, Across the nation

Tonight, Love infects worldwide
Almost another day (1)

'I do really like this song. Should I answer?' Flashing screen read "Genma" his eyes lit up. 'Sweet finally we are gonna hang out. Hopefully we can all have a fun night and get drunk! Wonder if Iruka will be there…hmm' he smirked.

"Yo"

"Raidou and I were thinking of having a BBQ Thursday what do you think?"

"I'm down. Do you want me to bring tri-tip (2) again?" 'FINALLY!' A grin flickered across his face.

"That would be awesome. I was going to have chicken as well. Do you think you could grill it too?"

"For sure," all his friends knew Kakashi could grill really well and usually left the meat up to him. "Who's all coming?"

"Raidou, Iruka, I was hoping you could ask Kurenai, Asuma and Anko for us. Kotetsu and Izumo said they might make it"

"Can do," 'hmm...Iruka will be there. I guess I'll have to make sure the tri-tip is perfect.'

"So, I was thinking of asking Iruka if he wanted to join Raidou and me in a threesome," said Genma grinning madly. "What do you think? I'm thinking he's more of a bottom than a top. But who knows he could be a switch. Doesn't really matter though cause he's hot and probably looks great naked," Genma smirked twirling his toothpick.

Kakashis eye started twitching as he tried to send a glare through the phone. "..."

"Hee hee I was just kidding...for now. But you do need to hurry up and make a move before someone else does. Or straight boy turns gay," Genma spoke quickly with a slight panic, getting the hint from the silence Kakashi wasn't pleased. 'Shit the last thing I need is an angry Kakashi.'

"Hmm..."

"Alright we shall you guys Thurs then. Bye," Genma sighed relived there was no repercussion.

"Sounds good. Bye."

'I hope I can get Anko to go. Hopefully she's not working at the bar that night. I would really like to get her opinion of Iruka and maybe some advice to steer him away from the stupid straight guy.'

They both were from the same hometown even though Anko was a few years older she had been his best friend for years. Both moved to San Francisco to escape the small town for the city. She liked Genma who became his other close friend. Which was good because her opinion mattered a lot to him and wanted all his friends to get along so he wouldn't have to pick and chose whom to hang out with. Lately, Genma's time was being consumed by Raidou, they were practically married, so all three of them have not been able hang out as often.

"Hey Genma and Raidou r gonna have a bbq thrus they want u to come." He quickly texted Anko.

"Sure I'm not working that night."

Sighing he figured he should invite Gai as well since everyone else was going to be there. True he excessively wore green and talked absurdly but he was a close friend/rival from freshman year in the dorms.

"Gai bbq Thurs at Gen and Rai's." He texted again.

"What a great way to enjoy our springtime of youth. I shall be there."

"Ok Gai," Kakashi, sighed. "Just bring some food or drinks."

"Of course. My rivals grilling skills cannot outdo me. I shall make something even better!"

He just shook his head not bothering to respond further. He did not want to be caught up in one of Gai's stupid little challenges.

He looked at his phone. It's only Tues in the middle in the afternoon. 2 days to figure how to ask Iruka out. Pakkun his pug was passed out on the bed snoring. He should probably sleep too but he would end up awake all night with nothing to do.

Mind drifting his thoughts once again strayed back to Iruka. What was it about Iruka that he wanted to be in a relationship with him? All he knew about him was that he wanted to become a teacher, as he loved kids. He also had an amazing smile that seemed to brighten any room he was in, that and his laugh was infectious. It was adorable how it would crinkle the scar across his nose. This whole wanting to be in a relationship was throwing him off. Really all he usually did was go to the Castro and pick up someone he found attractive for the night. He didn't really do "relationships." His last one pretty much confirmed why.

Pakkun suddenly jumped up and ran for the door. Kurenai must be home. 'I guess I should tell her about the BBQ.' Slowly getting off the bed stretching, Kakashi headed towards the living room walking in his classic lazy slouch. He liked living with Kurenai, as he already had lived with her a few years ago when he, Genma, and Kurenai all shared a dorm/suite in the Towers. It made it easier since Kurenai already knew him and the fact that he is extremely messy. Most roommates hated having Kakashi as a roomie due to his reclusiveness and sloppiness, but he didn't care. Actually, he would have preferred living alone but with the price of rent in San Francisco, that wasn't an affordable option.

"Why hello Pakkun."

Snort snort "Bark"

"Yo," Kakashi lazily waved.

"Hey Kakashi," Kurenai sighed it had been a really long day at work. "Did you just wake up?" slightly jealous.

"No. Genma had the happy pleasure of waking me up," smiling. "He and Raidou are going to have a BBQ Thurs. I'm supposed to pass the message along to you and Asuma."

"Oh about time they got their asses in gear to invite us over. It's been way too long since we've all hung out," Kurenai's voiced a little annoyed with their friends.

"True. It also seems that everyone will be there," smiling wider though only his curved eyes showed this.

"Meaning Iruka will be there," Kurenai smirked. "When are you gonna get the balls to just ask him out? Your being a chicken Kakashi."

"...aww don't say that," he pouted.

"Well it's true. Asuma agrees as well. Just get it together. What do you honestly have to lose? If he says no fine then he's a friend. If he says yes then you have one hot little boy," she stated as she wandered into her room to remove her formal work attire. "Have you eaten yet? I don't really feel like cooking tonight. Work was hell today."

"No I haven't left the house since I got home," Kakashi slumped onto the couch. "What happened at work?"

"Just the usual bullshit from the other paralegals not wanting to go get the papers ready for the lawyers," she sighed. "Plus with the budget cut and the firings going on people are not happy."

"Hmm..." Kakashi buried his nose in his favorite orange book.

"Really Kakashi don't you read anything else," 'where in hell did he pull that book out from. I could have sworn I took all copies out of the living room.'

"I'm still listening. Oh you should call Asuma to let him know about the BBQ."

(1) 10 points if you can guess the song
(2) tri-tip is a cut of beef. i think its from the flank area but i could be wrong. not that many people outside the state of california know the cut cause its not a widespread cut.
