Kakashi wondered for the umpteenth time why the hell he had agreed to do this. He'd never been big on Valentine's day and had always laughed at those who went to drastic measures over the holiday.
And here he was now, the great Copy-nin, gluing lace to more paper hearts than he wished to count. If only team seven could see him now.
"Remind me again why we have to send Valentines to the entire village?" he asked Iruka, a whining tone in his voice.
It's not the whole village," Iruka protested. "Only my students, and your team and the rest of my previous students, and Anko, and Genma, and Tsunade-sama, and…" He trailed off as he noticed the expression on Kakashi's fully exposed face. "Well, I just like to let people know I care." He stated indignantly.
The jounin startled Iruka by pulling him forward for a chaste kiss. "And that's what I love about you."
The blush on the chuunin's face grew darker as he halfheartedly tried to push the other man away. "The cards…"
Kakashi silenced him by pulling him into another kiss, this one much more passionate than the last. Coffee colored hands entwined themselves in silver hair, as Iruka was pushed back against his living room wall.
The Valentine's Day cards lay on the floor in the middle of the room, forgotten.
