"Do you know what'd look good on you? Me."
Kakashi had every aspect of a cat despite his protests and adamant declarations that he was a dog person. Iruka thought it ridiculously funny of course. After all, here he was, lying on the couch with a purring copy nin.
Iruka snickered lightly, fingers weaving through the soft shock of silver hair, tugging, and scratching in affection. The academy teacher just loved running his hands through his lover's hair, wondering how it stayed so soft in the first place, what with all its gravity-defyingness.
He was also admiring the way the soft glow of lights reflected over his pale lover's form. Kakashi's chest rumbling slightly as the man purred, leaning in the touch, sinewy muscles rolling beneath the skin as he shifted closer. Iruka smiled, leaning down to kiss Kakashi's forehead, earning him a bleary look from mismatched blinking eyes.
"Just admiring the view." Iruka answered the silent question. He reveled in the pink tinge that spread over his lover's bare face. A slight cough of embarrassment only he could produce from the man.
"I'm guessing you like what you see then." It was Iruka's turn to blush now, Kakashi had always been quick to recover, evidence to the leer now directed towards the tan chuunin.
He wasn't the copy nin's lover of 2 years for nothing though. Iruka could very clearly see the 'underneath the underneath.' He quite clearly heard the slight hesitation and uncertainty in the jounin's voice. Kakashi had always been very paranoid over this matter, very fearful that one day, Iruka would one day realize he deserved someone better.
Snorting, Iruka's fingers tugged lightly at the silver head, "No."
Mismatched eyes lowered, shoulders imperceptibly tensed, "Ru—"
"I don't just like what I see. I love what I see and what I don't. I love what is here and what is not. I love you and only you, forever and always. Now how many times do I have to tell you this?"
Kakashi looked up sheepishly, pouting after a moment, "One more time?"
Iruka rolled his eyes, cupped his hands on both sides of Kakashi's face and kissed his lover senseless, "That good enough for you?"
Kakashi grinned impishly, "Forgot again, I think you'll have to keep reminding me."
The tan chuunin chuckled, "And you're supposed to be a genius?"
