Title: More to Life
Rating: T (For some cussing)
Genre: Romance
Pairing(s): Kakashi x Iruka (Minor SasuNaru)
Summary: His words were confusing, even though it happened a week ago Iruka's words frustrated him to no end…but then again there's always…KakaIru
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did Kakashi and Iruka would be together, but hey, that's what we have fanfics for.
Side Note: Okay, so there is shonen-ai / yaoi (or whatever you want to call it) in this story. Nothing explicit, so don't expect anything like that…but, if you are offended by yaoi and that type of stuff then leave, and if you want to flame me for making a yaoi of Iruka and Kakashi well…I will laugh, it's funny when people hate something and yet they are tempted to look, anyways, on with the story!

More to Life
-----------------
My thoughts have always been about you ever since we met,
We never spent that much time together, but I loved you…
And still do…
-----------------
Kakashi stared at the ceiling of his apartment, his thought running on about a certain brown haired Chuunin, "What else is there?..." he asked himself as a silent night breeze blew through the window making the curtains dance in the wind.
Slowly pulling his feet to the side of the bed to the wooden floor, he stood up and walked over to the window. Pushing the curtains out of his face he pressed his hand against the window frame and stared out gazing at the village.
Few lights could be seen in the houses, no voices just the whisper of the wind could be heard, "I wonder…" Kakashi began to remember the events that had taken place a week ago…
-----------------
It had been around 5:00 P.m and Kakashi was handing in his report to Iruka.
Iruka sighed in frustration looking at the paper he had recently been handed, "Is something wrong?" the silver haired Jounin asked with a dull expression.
Iruka stared at the half-assed report; it was messy and overall…sucked, "No, nothing's wrong." He replied bluntly, he didn't mean to sound so angry but Kakashi having made him wait for what seemed like forever than handing in the piece of crap report, Iruka hadn't been able to keep his cool.
Kakashi didn't seem to care though, he enjoyed it when the younger man scolded him, in his opinion it was 'turn-on', but he also enjoyed having Iruka feel bad for him so he decided to put on his sad act.
"I'm so sorry Iruka-sensei." He said with a pitiful look placed on his (shown) face.
Seeing the expression Kakashi was holding Iruka let out another sigh, "…I'm sorry yelling at you." He said trying not to sound like apologizing to Kakashi (whom should be apologizing to him) was a foreign concept to his tongue.
Placing his hand on the desk the leaned forward, "Do I bug you that much Iruka-sensei?" he asked in flirtatious voice, making a large blush spread across Iruka's face, "U-um…" he looked away from Kakashi and stared at the floor.
"I-I should be going now! I mean there's papers to grade and-and-and---" Kakashi cut him off while he was in the middle of his ranting, "Great, I'll walk you home." He said as his eye curved up.
"No, I-I think I can get h-home---" once again he was cut off by the older Jounin, "I insist." He said still smiling.
"Fine." Iruka replied with yet again another sigh, 'Why does he always have to be so persistent?' Iruka asked himself now collecting all the papers, not even daring to look up at Kakashi, less his face become even redder from embarrassment.
After packing his things the Chuunin and Jounin made their way out of the school. They walked in silence, Kakashi was enjoying himself and Iruka just felt plain awkward.
"Uh…So how was your mission Kakashi-sensei?" Iruka asked carefully, the strange feeling that he had still found within him.
Kakashi stifled a laugh, he noticed easily that the younger man had this nervous aura around him, "It was fine." He replied simply his eye curved up as the man let out a small, almost whisper-like, 'oh'.
The two continued to walk in the silence that was becoming more and more present as the progressed down the streets, finally reaching Iruka's apartment the sun already setting, the Chuunin let out a long relived sigh. Turning towards the Jounin he smiled, "Well, thank you and good night." He stated with a bow.
Unlike the Chuunin whom was happy that there would be no more awkwardness drifting through the air, the Jounin was not as happy, no, actually, he wasn't at all happy. He liked spending time with the Chuunin and watching Iruka be nervous was fun to watch to.
Trying to stall Kakashi decided to try and start conversation, if that plan failed he would have to resort to grabbing the other man's legs and beg him to stay…but first, talking.
"I have a question." Kakashi asked in his usual calm tone regardless of the fact he was feeling slightly panicked to make Iruka stay.
Iruka flinched but kept smile, 'Here we go, he's going to ask something stupid and I'm going to end up getting embarrassed like usual.' He thought wearily to himself, "Yes?" he asked in the most polite tone he could manage.
Kakashi really had nothing to ask, so he decided to say the first thing that came to his head, "Don't you ever get tired of doing the same thing everyday?" Well, great, now he felt like an idiot, but whatever, if it meant Iruka staying for a few minutes it was well worth it.
Surprisingly, to Kakashi, Iruka wasn't pointing at him and laughing 'What a stupid question', he actually looked like he was thinking.
Iruka looked directly into Kakashi's eyes…eye, "Are you?" he asked in calm tone of voice. That startled Kakashi a bit, that wasn't what he was expecting to hear, or how he was expecting to hear it, Iruka was never this calm as far as he had seen.
Kakashi began to think. In truth he had been getting bored with everything, not his usual bored like, I-couldn't-care-less bored, more like not-even-Icha-Icha-paradise-can-rid-me-of-my-boredom bored. Overall, the only thing allowing him to keep his sanity was Iruka.
"Well…I suppose, everything hasn't been as…exciting, as usual." Kakashi replied looking the brown haired man into the eyes to.
Iruka put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, "You know Kakashi." Okay, now Kakashi was confused, not only had Iruka 'purposely' made physical contact with him but he didn't use the suffix at then end of his name like he usually did.
"There's more to life than living." With that said the Chunnin turned around walked to into his apartment leaving a very confused Kakashi standing there.
-----------------
And now, here Kakashi was staring out the window of his apartment, continuing to think about what a certain Chuunin had said a week ago, and still confused on the meaning of his words…maybe, a nice night's of sleep would be nice.
And with that the Jounin laid in his bed and feel into a deep slumber.

I'm hopeless, this was supposed to be a oneshot, but in the end I decided to make it have chapters, bleh, I suck. Well, anyways, this story will probably have two or three chapters in total, so yeah…though it will probably end up having eight chapters or something…sigh…Anyways, review! I'm not going to update if I don't get any reviews.
