Sasuke watched with annoyance Naruto glomp Iruka. Honestly, the boy was 18 already! He should at least stop glomping Iruka every. Freaking. Time! They were by Iruka's apartment since Naruto spotted Iruka at the front of his apartment and went over to greet him. Sasuke only followed along because Iruka was there, and Kakashi had his own reason. Sasuke almost let slip a sigh of irritation when Naruto squeezed Iruka in a hug. What the hell! That was not necessary!

He was just looking out for Iruka's well being...It's not like he was jealous or anything...He scowled when he saw Iruka hug Naruto back and ruffle Naruto's hair teasingly. Kakashi stood beside Sasuke, watching Naruto playfully yell at his ex sensei for treating him like a child. Kakashi glanced at Sasuke and saw the scowl the boy had on his face. He raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"What's with the sour face, Sasuke-kun?" Kakashi asked curiously.

Sasuke looked at Kakashi with his scowled face. "Nothing." He said bitterly.

Kakashi blinked. "That doesn't sound like 'nothing' to me. You seemed...annoyed."

"How observant of you." Sasuke replied dryly.

Kakashi gave him a flat face. "Well...someone's cranky."

"Oh shut up."

Sasuke turned to watch Naruto and Iruka again, then narrowed his eyes. Naruto had Iruka in a headlock and was giving a very distressed Iruka a noogie. Since Naruto was now tall, it was easier, and more hilarious for him. Kakashi followed Sasuke's gaze, and his eye widened when he realized why Sasuke was probably annoyed. Scowling, he said,

"You know he's taken, right?" Kakashi said viciously.

Sasuke stiffened. He looked at Kakashi, his stomach churning. "W-what? Who? Iruka?" He stuttered. Was Kakashi with Iruka? He frowned, and felt depressed.

"No. Naruto." Kakashi said, keeping his tone.

Sasuke sighed in relief. "Oh. He is?" He asked, wondering who Naruto was with, hoping it wasn't one of his fans because then he'd have to beat Naruto for being stupid. Fans aren't the best choice for a boyfriend or girlfriend. Some are very annoying.

"Yes. So I hope you're not eyeing him." Kakashi narrowed his eye(s) at Sasuke.

Sasuke gave off a pink flush. "Err..no."

Kakashi looked shockingly at Sasuke. Then who..? He smirked knowingly behind his mask. "Ah. Okay." Kakashi put a hand in his pockets and shouted loud enough so Naruto could hear, "Oi! Naru-kun! Let's go!"

Naruto let go of an angry Iruka, grinning, and ran off before Iruka could punch him thoroughly in the head. Naruto grabbed Kakashi's hand as he was running and dragged Kakashi to run with him.

"Bye Iruka-sensei! Later Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, laughing and Kakashi grinned and ran behind Naruto.

Sasuke blinked and watched the spot that Naruto and Kakashi and disappeared to when they ran. 'Oh. That's who Naruto's with. Huh. I'm blind.' He faced Iruka again, and blushed when Iruka untied his hair to fix it. It was a mess since Naruto gave it a good ruffle. Iruka pouted in slight irritation, then looked up to see Sasuke watching him with a slight blush on his face.

"Oh! Sasuke-kun!" Iruka smiled warmly. He didn't want to say 'I didn't see you there', because that would just be rude. "I haven't seen you in awhile." he said instead.

Sasuke shook off his blush and nodded, walking closer to Iruka. "Hn. How have you been?" he asked with his normal attitude.

"Ah, I've been okay. I just have to fix my hair since Naruto messed it up." He frowned and looked annoyed, almost making Sasuke smile. Iruka chuckled, "Well, enough of me complaining, would you like to come in?" Iruka was proud of himself. He refrained from blushing.

Sasuke looked as if he was thinking about it, only because he didn't want to shout excitedly 'Yes!' like a small child who was saying yes he wanted a cookie. That would just be embarrassing. Finally, he nodded. "Sure. Thank you."

Iruka opened the door and waited for Sasuke to enter. When he did, Iruka entered as well, closing the door behind.

"Would you like anything to drink? Tea?" Iruka asked in his usual politeness.

Sasuke nodded. "Thank you."

"Make yourself comfortable Sasuke-kun." Iruka kept up the politeness.

Sasuke, again, nodded. "Thank you, Iruka-sensei."

He watched Iruka walk into the kitchen to make the tea, his hair still a mess. Sasuke looked around Iruka's apartment. It felt so small compared to his mansion. He walked to the couch and sat down. He looked at the picture Iruka had on the wall. He blushed, looking at one when Iruka had his hand on his head, he was 12 at that time.

He still remembered when he first developed his crush. It was when he was still at the academy, and Iruka was his teacher. It was a small teacher crush, he enjoyed it when Iruka would sometimes praise his good work. He would do anything to impress Iruka, until Naruto came in the picture. He noticed how Iruka would always spend his time with Naruto. He thought it was no big deal, he'd get over this 'little crush' eventually.

As he got older, he would always look forward to handing his mission reports because sometimes, it would be Iruka he'd hand it to. He liked seeing his former sensei blush, it made him feel glad it was him doing it. He was about 15, and Naruto had brought him back from Orochimaru. He thought Iruka would hate him, because he betrayed the village. Iruka was very loyal to the village, so naturally, he figured, Iruka would ignore him and look at him with hatred. But he didn't. He slowly welcomed Sasuke back, and smiled at him like nothing. That's when Sasuke felt his feelings growing stronger for him.

Now, at the age of 18, he knew he was in love. There's no way a 'little crush' that started when he was a child, would feel this strong or last this long. He was positive that it was love; it had to be, there was no other explanation. All he had to do was tell Iruka how he felt. That was the hard part. There was no way Iruka could feel that way about him, there was such an age difference...and he was sure that the sensei wanted to have a family of his own one day. He didn't have to worry about that for himself anymore because his brother and him were now friends. It took awhile, but Itachi cleared his name, proving he wasn't the one who massacred the family, and for Sasuke, this was the best part: Itachi wasn't gay. So, he had a better chance of 'reviving the clan' then he did.

He saw Iruka coming with a tea cup, handing it to Sasuke and smiling. "So, Sasuke-kun, how are your latest missions?" Iruka asked, walking to his room, then walking back out with a brush. He never showed anyone what he looked like with his hair down, but Sasuke was an exception.

"Fine. Pain in the ass, but fine. What about your students?" Sasuke drank some of his tea.

Iruka sat down on the couch. "They're hellions. Born and raised to make my life a living hell." he heard Sasuke chuckle. "I love those brats anyway." Iruka grinned, beginning to brush his hair.

Sasuke stared at the brush. "Everyone loves you." He said sincerely, making Iruka blush. Sasuke put the tea down and stuck out his hand. Iruka stared questioningly at it, then looked confusingly at Sasuke. "You're a barbarian when it comes to brushing your hair. Come here." He said in his 'don't argue with me' voice. Iruka pouted. That was his tone!

Reluctantly, he gave Sasuke the hair brush. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him. "Do you expect me to hover over your head at that height? Come here." he smirked teasingly and motioned to the floor spot in front of him.

Iruka blushed and lightly glared at Sasuke's comment. He stood up and walked to Sasuke, sitting on the floor in front of him. Sasuke took the brush and began to comb Iruka's hair, gently removing knots and making it straight. He used his hands to occasionally move Iruka's hair, but that was only to feel the silky strands in his hands. He blushed, not believing he was doing this. Wondering if he was dreaming or not. He couldn't help but notice Iruka's red face as well, and smirked a bit. He put his legs a bit closer, sort of hugging Iruka's arms together, and felt Iruka tense for a sec, then relax. Sasuke blushed and breathed in summon some courage before he lost it, but Iruka's voice made him stop.

"You're really good at this Sasuke-kun, it's very relaxing. Thank you. You didn't have to." Iruka said with a smile.

"Ah, no problem. Hey! Don't turn your head." Sasuke scolded, smiling slightly. "I'm surprised you are, I've never done this." he admitted.

"Never combined hair? Ah. So then how do you keep yours up like that?"

"Good hair product." He heard Iruka chuckled. "And I meant comb someone else's hair."

"Ah. You're doing a good job."

Sasuke snorted. "Only cause you don't know how to do it properly yourself Mr. I'm going to have long hair but not comb it correctly." He smirked when Iruka slapped his leg, shouting an indignant 'hey!' playfully. Iruka chuckled.

"Maybe...but thanks, Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke blushed. "No problem..Iruka..kun.." Sasuke waited for a reject kind of reaction, but only got Iruka's smile as a response. He breathed in a shaky breath. "Um...Iruka..?" He started.

"Yes Sasuke?" Iruka asked, closing his eyes as Sasuke combed his fingers through his hair.

Sasuke started putting Iruka's hair up to a pony tail. "Well..umm.." he was blushing, but he had to say this. "I umm..well, ever since I was little...I um, even now, I.." Damn did he suck at this. "I err..I um...Your hair is brown.." 'Oooohhh smooootthhhh Sasuke...REAL SMOOTH. That'll impress him! GREAT ANSWER!' Sasuke thought while wishing the ground would just swallow him up.

As expected from his stupid answer, Iruka laughed. "Oh thank god, I was hoping I didn't have to walk around wondering if it was brown or black my whole life.." he teased, grinning.

Sasuke was blushing like there's no tomorrow. He took out the band and wrapped it securely on Iruka's hair to make the pony tail. "R-right, what I meant to say is, um...I..is that I...Iruka! I-!" he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Iruka frowned.

"Oh, sorry Sasuke, hold on." he stood up and walked to the door.

Sasuke sighed in frustration and slumped back into the couch. 'If there's a god, he sure does hate me.'

Iruka came back with a ninja that worked in the mission room. "Oi, Sasuke," The tall, male ninja said, "Hokage requests to see you. Urgent mission." and with that, he turned around and sprinted back to the mission room.

Sasuke sighed, and mumbled, "Just my luck.." he stood up. Iruka frowned at Sasuke, a bit depressed that Sasuke had to go.

"Um, Sasuke, is there something you wanted to tell me?" Iruka asked kindly.

Sasuke stood up and stared into Iruka's eyes. "Yes, but..um..later..when I come back..."

Iruka smiled. "Sure Sasuke-kun. I'll wait for you."

Sasuke blushed and nodded, suppressing the urge to kiss Iruka right then and there. "Thank you. Bye Iruka-kun. I'll be back soon." he promised, sprinting off to the Hokage. The sooner this was done, the better.
