A/N: Second Drabble. Woot!
Dis: Naruto belongs to Masashi kishimoto-sama, and in no way do I make money for this.
Warning: Shonen-Ai
I'm so sorry.
It had been a plant. It had been a plant. To be precise, it wasn't a plant anymore. It was a dead plant. Of course, this means it no longer was the flora of which it used to be, so the means justified the ends that it was no longer a plant at all.
It had been his favorite, too. Though, now that it was dead, it would obviously no longer be his favorite, but these little things right now were beside the point, because he knew very good and well that it would be HE to be dead next.
He'd killed it.
He'd killed that poor, poor, little thing. Wasn't it kind of a rare exotic species? No, that was himself. Uminos Irukasis: lived twenty eight years, before going extinct due to killing boyfriend's prized plant.
I'm so sorry…I killed Ukki-kun. Please don't kill me too!
I'm so sorry…a cat got in and got to Ukki-kun!
I'm so sorry…but…Ukki-kun, is no longer with us. His will to live just wasn't strong enough.
Iruka sighed. He felt terrible; more terrible than he already felt. It sucked to have a cold and be sick; not being able to breath through your nose, so that when you pick up a cup of clear alcohol that just happened to be sitting next to a cup of water, you pore the alcohol into your boyfriend's plant, and kill it within the hour.
So it was with bated breath that he waited at his other man's place, until he arrived home. He was tired and exhausted, and before a smile could grace his features at the sight of the other, his eyes instantly became concerned and worried as they locked with the worry filled ones of the Chuunin.
Almost leaping across the room, the Jounin reached out to his beloved.
"Iruka, hun, what is it? Are you alright?"
"Tenzou, I'm so sorry…"
"Sorry? About what? Is something wrong?"
"I…I killed Ukki-kun!"
"What?!"
"This damn cold, and I couldn't tell, and I…gave it alcohol instead of water, and I…I…I'm so sorry, Ten-kun! I know he was your favorite!"
"Iru-koi…"
"Forgive me, please, I didn't mean to."
"Iru-koi…it's ok."
Iruka paused, giving him a look.
"It's ok, it was just an accident."
Tenzou smiled and leaned forward to give the other a peck on the forehead.
"Want to know a secret?"
"What?"
"Ukki-kun isn't mine. I was just plant-sitting it. Ukki-kun belongs to Sempai."
Iruka's eyes grew round, and the tears he'd held back started flowing; followed by fits of snorts, followed by Tenzou's silent giggles, followed by full blown out laughter between the two. Needless to say, Iruka no longer felt he was going to die. It did leave one question to be asked, however.
"Sooooo…..what now?"
