DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or any characters in this
"I hate breaks!"
Naruto ignores the glances of the other people that were in the park. The scarred blond with azure eyes was sitting on a bench, arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
He glared at the ground, "Every year it's the same old thing." He mumbled, "My friends always say 'I am busy' or 'I will be out of town' or even 'Someone in my family doesn't like you'! Just because I am an orphan and being the adopted son of my high school homeroom teacher, Iruka! You would think I was gay or something!"
His parents had died when he was born, in a car crash. Iruka had adopted him one day, on a whim. The calm, brown haired man was a decent father, caring and firm. He was always working though. Even on holidays, he was either making lesson plans or at conventions and conferences on how to improve teaching methods and learning habits for the students. He just wasn't good on a festive note. He would take Naruto out to his favorite restaurant, but then it was back to work.
Naruto kicked the bench leg and stood up, shrugging on his black and orange jacket. Still grumbling to himself, he started making his way to the small house where Iruka and he lived. It was in a quiet neighborhood, being the fact that everyone else were a little on the elderly side. It was all Iruka could afford with his meager teaching salary.
"I'm home!" The blond teen yells as he opens the door. He took off his shoes and hung his jacket up. He walks into the kitchen to find his scar faced adopted father talking on his cell phone. The older man held his index finger up, showing Naruto that it was a business call and to be silent. Naruto rolls his eyes and walks the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. Waiting to talk to Iruka, Naruto walks to the window above the sink and stared out it. He finished off the water with a couple of gulps and started listening in on Iruka's conversation.
"Yeah, Naruto and I don't have anything planned for the winter break." He pauses as he listened to the other caller.
"You want us to come over? … Can you afford two guests with your godsons being there? ….. I also have work. ….. I haven't had a break since I started teaching. …. Never had crossed my mind to have a break. ….. Sure, we will come. I have to talk to Naruto about now, I will call you later."
Naruto looks questioningly as Iruka hangs up with a snap, then turns to his son. The two stare at each other for a few seconds.
With a grin, Iruka asks "Are you and Shikamaru still planning on hanging out with each other this break?"
Naruto scowls and growls "No. He bailed on me. Everyone has. Neji, Choji, Lee, even Kiba. It freakin' sucks!"
"Well," Iruka says, "Would you like to go to the mountains for this winter break? An old friend of mine invited us, and he has two godsons you could play with. One is your age while the other is a few years older."
Naruto looked at his father suspiciously, finally asking "Is this invite for real?"
Iruka smiles and nods, ordering "You better go start packing. Be ready for hiking, trail riding, and bonfires outside. It'll be cold, so bring warm clothes. Pack whatever you want that can fit in the travel bag and your backpack. Anything bigger will be left behind."
Naruto jumped up and raced to his room. This break will actually be fun. Just five guys living in the mountains for two weeks by themselves, what could possibly go wrong? He threw a bunch of t-shirts of various colors, mainly orange or black, jeans, socks, and underwear in his travel bag. He sat on it to get it closed and once it was, he stuffed deodorant, his toothbrush, and toothpaste in the front pockets. Once that was done, he zipped opened his backpack and dumped all the books and school supplies out, emptying the bag of all student torture tools. He then proceeded to stuff a book he was currently reading, his DS, DS games, his phone, chargers, and whatever else he thought he would need to entertain himself there.
After packing, Naruto walked back into the kitchen, as Iruka walked in, both done packing.
"Now what?" Naruto asks, getting himself a glass of milk.
"Now we wait," Iruka explains, "I had just called Kakashi, my friend, and he said that they would be here around 5:30 this afternoon, but most likely later, it depends on how bad the traffic is."
"Is Kakashi picking us up and driving to the mountains? With all five of us?"
Iruka nodded. "He said you would have to be in the middle since his godsons, Itachi and Sasuke, can't stand sitting beside each other for more than five seconds. They start arguing if they do." Iruka laughs at Naruto's scowl.
It was only 3:50, and the two decided to put in a movie while they waited. It was sort of a habit of theirs to waste time with the magic box and its moving pictures. Neither one of them noticed the time fly by, the movie entertaining them.
A knock on the door right when the credits started signaled that their gateway to relaxation for two weeks has just arrived.
"Naruto, go get the bags while I welcome them in." Iruka said, already heading towards the hallway that led to the front door. Naruto jumps and rushes through the kitchen to his room, swinging his backpack on his shoulder and grabbing his travel bag. As he entered the hallway to head to Iruka's room, he looked toward the door to get a glimpse of Iruka's supposed friend.
The man was lean, but had plenty of muscle, like a runner or acrobat. He had silvery hair that shone in the light. The one eye that showed was a dark black color; the other was covered by a headband with a leaf on it. The bottom half of his face was also covered by a black mask. Kakashi was also taller than Iruka. Kakashi was wearing a black t-shirt with a gray jacket, jeans, and black combat boots. He also had Iruka pinned to the wall, his face dangerously close to the smaller man, to the point that he was practically kissing Iruka on the cheek. Naruto just stood there, stunned.
Iruka looked a little uncomfortable and, at the sight of his shocked son, he pushed Kakashi off him, clearing his throat uncomfortably. "Naruto, have you grabbed the bags?" Iruka prompts.
Naruto shakes his head and races to Iruka's room, and grabs his bags. 'I hope the godsons are not like that freak.' he thought. He walks into the hallway where the two men were waiting, now conversing normally. Iruka takes his bags when Naruto handed them to him.
"I will take those to the car." Kakashi says in a smooth, relaxed voice. He grabs all the bags and walked outside.
Naruto looks at his still blushing father and mutters "Is Kakashi going to be like that the whole time?"
"No." Iruka says firmly.
They start heading out the door when they hear Kakashi call for them. After Iruka locks the door and hides the spare key, they walk towards Kakashi's dark blue truck with a silver leaf design, similar to the one on his headband, on the hood. The windows were tinted darkly, so Naruto couldn't see the two brothers that were supposed to be in there.
Once Kakashi throws the bags into the back of the truck, he turns with a smile (or what seems to be a smile, Naruto couldn't tell with the mask) and says "Are we ready to go?"
