Title: Rest
Summary: Sometimes it OK to be tired
Warnings: Fluffy as hell
A/N: I wrote this one back in 2011 and decided to pick it as my first post here. ^_^
With a precise kick, Kakashi closed the front door behind him and sighed. "Tadaima."
"Okaeri," Iruka's voice answered shortly, but it didn't come from the usual spots like behind the kotatsu or from their kitchen. Frowning, the jounin realized that the other man's voice had floated from the bedroom, which was kind of odd since it was only four in the afternoon.
Placing his sandals on the genkan and hanging up the vest, Kakashi padded to the open bedroom door. He stopped there, leaning tiredly against the door frame and rested his eyes on the slender form on the large bed.
Iruka was lying on his side, one arm curled underneath the pillow that was tucked under his cheek, the high pony-tail was now resting at the nape of his neck. The closed eyelids flickered open, brown eyes peering behind the dark eyelashes and a small smile spread on the chuunin's lips.
"Hey," Iruka murmured, but made no move to rise up, "how was your day?"
"Boring, it was very simple mission," Kakashi told and crossed the distance to kneel in front of the other man, arms crossing on the mattress as Kakashi leant his cheek against his forearms. "And yours?"
"Not really interesting, just normal day. The kids were actually quite good today." Iruka yawned slightly and raised his other hand to touch the still clothed face. "And yet, I feel exhausted."
Turning to nuzzle the caressing hand, Kakashi kissed the palm of Iruka's hand. "I can see that," he said and smiled, "sometimes people get tired for no apparent reason."
"Yeah."
For a moment it was silent, Iruka stroking gently Kakashi's face with eyes closed and Kakashi kneeling on the floor and enjoying the affectionate touches.
"I'm tired," Iruka murmured, yawning again and his hand slowly fell down.
Kakashi hummed and stood up. "Then let's sleep", he declared with a smile. Climbing over Iruka, the silver-haired man settled to lie behind the smaller form, wrapping his arms around him. The dark-haired man made a small noise, snuggling closer to the warm body and then tangled their legs together.
"That's a very good idea," Iruka yawned, smiling tiredly when Kakashi nuzzled the right spot where Iruka's jaw met his ear.
"See you in few hours, love."
