A/N: This is just a little drabble kind of thing I wrote a couple of months ago when I really wanted brownies but couldn't have any... I thought writing about it would help, but when combining brownies with Kakashi they just got even more irresistible:S Anyway, I thought I'd post it here, so... enjoy!

Brownies. Gorgeous, creamy, dark brownies, neatly cut into squares and placed on a plate. Iruka looked from the pastries to the man now settling himself next to him, a half-eaten brownie already in his hand. He still found it difficult to believe.
Because honestly, you didn't have to spend a lot of time around Kakashi to realize that he had a major sweet tooth, but no one, no one, would have thought that this lethal shinobi, the Copy-nin of a thousand techniques, the man who thought a Katon Jutsu was a completely adequate way to reheat yesterday's leftovers, would be a master at baking, not only brownies, but anything that contained vast amounts of chocolate.
Kakashi had explained it to Iruka, and when applying the Hatake Logic to the case, it actually did make sense. This very unique type of logic was mainly based on an elaborate kind of laziness and worked something like this; To buy sweets you had to go all the way down to the sweet shop, two blocks away, or the bakery, three and a half blocks away. This took time and it would slightly undermine his reputation as a fierce warrior if he were to be seen in a sweets shop full of children every other day. So to save himself the effort and embarrassment, Kakashi could simply sit down in front of the TV for about an hour and use his Sharingan to copy some recipes off of cooking shows. And as a result he could eat chocolate cakes, cookies and muffins wherever he wanted to, without even having to leave the apartment.
Looking at it that way, it did make sense. But still…
"Are you going to eat or are you just going to stare at them?"
Kakashi, already busy with his third brownie, grabbed another one from the plate and shoved it into his lover's mouth. Cupping his hands under his chin to keep the crumbs from falling onto the sofa, Iruka giggled. The best part of this was that Kakashi was still a little self-conscious about the fact that he was actually baking and it was almost unbearably cute to watch.
"Seriously," Iruka licked the chocolate from his lips and, seeing Kakashi watch him, proceeded to carefully clean his fingers, "if people knew about these you'd have to give up being a ninja and open a bakery instead. You'd make all of Konoha look like one big Akamichi clan."
"It's a good thing they don't know, then. Here, have another one." Kakashi pushed yet another of his trademark white chocolate chip brownies halfway into Iruka's mouth, biting off the other end himself, their lips meeting in a sticky, chocolaty kiss.
In the same moment the egg timer rang and Kakashi jumped up.
"That'd be the rest," he said cheerfully.
"The rest?" Iruka looked at the already laden plate in front of him. "Do we really need more?"
"They're much tastier after a night in the refrigerator," answered Kakashi knowingly. "That's why I always make a double batch."
'Normal people would have just made them the day before instead', thought Iruka, but knowing that that kind of logic would not bite on Kakashi, he simply took another brownie, wondering vaguely just how fat his lover would have been if he hadn't trained as much as he did.
