A/N: Decided I needed to work on my drabble-writing. I tend to word-vomit when I write so I thought doing something short would be good, that and my concentration is currently shot to hell and I can't focus on anything more substansial (stupid meds).

Kakashi knew that Iruka had never really considered himself a particularily 'handsome' man. To quote the brunette himself he was 'plain, boring and brown.' and he couldn't really understand how the infamous copy-nin could find him attractive in comparison to himself.
However the Jounin thought very differently about his lover and he tried to explain it to him at every given moment. Not that Iruka ever listened to him, far to wrapped up in his own insecurities but that was besides the point.
The two men lay in bed together sweaty and sated from a rather rigorous bout of love making, the silver-haired curled into the brunette's side and pale arm draped across the tanned stomach. He stroked along the smooth plains of flesh marvelling at how the shifted and twitched under his ministrations. Kakashi just about held back a smirk at the undignified giggle that erupted from Iruka's lips as he caressed a particularily sensitive spot and looked up into the dark eyes.
He felt his breath catch in his throat at the sight.
The younger man was reclined on the pillow, dark hair splayed across the pale colored linen. His bronzed skin was covered with a thin sheen of sweat that caught the thin streams of diminishing daylight, causing it to seemingly glow. But the thing that truly caught Kakashi's attention was the look of utter peace and contentment on the other man's face.
It was spellbinding.
It was...
"Mesmerizing... You're mesmerizing."
Iruka looked down at the silver-haired man ready to refute the man's words but stopped as he gazed into the miss-matched eyes. Pure love and a sincerity the brunette had never seen before shone through the startling orbs momentarily taking his breath away. Kakashi often told him how attractive he was and blah, blah, blah... And to a certain extent he did believe him. But there, in that moment, he truly felt it for the first time and it rendered him dumb.
"Iruka?"
Kakashi, disturbed by the lack of response raised an eyebrow at his lover in question but the brunette still gave no reply. Instead Iruka just wrapped his arms tightly around the Jounin giving his thanks in a silent intimate embrace.
