It Started with a Kiss
It started with a kiss.
To be more accurate, it had started several hours earlier with an invitation for a drink that he so desperately needed after being impaled by three errant kunai in the last fifteen minutes of class and had continued with the seemingly innocuous suggestion that someone should come up with a plan to surprise the infamously unflappable Hatake Kakashi.
Had his brain not been marinating in nine and a half shots of hard alcohol, his plan probably would have been a great deal more cunning. Even though knocking on Kakashi's door and planting a sound kiss on his lips had a charming simplicity to it, a sober mind would have realized that it was less likely to surprise him and much more likely to make him the object of ridicule and harassment.
It had started with a kiss and had ended…
Iruka raised his head, only to drop it back down when his head protested the movement vehemently.
How had it ended? Something about the situation nagged at the back of his pounding skull.
Not his pillow, and definitely not his bed. I kissed Kakashi, and then….and then… Vague memories surfaced – an arm around his waist, hands peeling off his shirt and lowering him carefully onto the sheets, and a gentle touch running up and down his spine in soothing strokes.
"Oh god."
Once the hangover faded and his brain cells recovered from their soaking, he would slowly piece his memories back together. He would remember kissing Kakashi, that the gesture did, in fact, produce a decently surprised expression, but that the sudden vomiting had a much more profound effect. He would remember being led to the bathroom, Kakashi removing his soiled shirt and, to his own surprise, rubbing his back while he emptied his stomach.
He would remember all of that, eventually. At the moment, however, the scattered dots were easily connected to draw a wholly inaccurate picture.
In the future, he would thoroughly scold Kakashi for not disabusing him of that notion and for taking full advantage of Iruka's assumption that they had already slept together.
OOOOOOOO
First prompt - bet you thought something else was going on, right? Right? ^_^
