Warning: Super Sexiness in the form of Kakashi x Iruka. Rated T for language, adult themes, the like.
Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto...I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue if I did.
Notes: Forgot to mention this on the first chapter. This story takes place during Naruto's 2 year training hiatus. Also, in case anybody didnt catch on, this chapter picks up after Kakashi already spent his morning at the academy. He is on a lunch break.

The copy nin scowled as his toe throbbed with pain. He was tempted to kick another rock in his frustration, but he was sorely reminded of what might happen if the rock happened to be stronger than his foot.
"Stupid brats, stupid rock, stupid Ebisu…" He ranted, adding more names and objects to his growing list of things he deemed stupid. Nobody on the street around him seemed to notice. Not that they would see anything out of the ordinary. It was just Kakashi, slouching around, mumbling things to himself. As usual.
He looked up at the sky, and judging by the position of the sun, his lunch break was almost over. His escape would have to be now or never. He knew he couldn't shirk off his responsibilities to the Hokage, no matter how much he wanted to. But he was attracted to the idea of just ditching, maybe going to a bar or reading his novel in peace somewhere. With a defeated sigh, Kakashi shuffled his way down the street and towards the ninja academy, careful not to agitate his possibly broken toe.
He made it to the front doors, and was about to go in when he heard a certain chuunin call out his name. He turned to face the teacher, trying to appear less haggard than he felt.
"Konnichiwa, Iruka Sensei. I was just looking for you." The jounin greeted, his voice lackluster.
"Kakashi Sensei, how was your class this morning?" Iruka inquired in a seemingly innocent tone, taking note of the Jounin's fatigued appearance. Was his class really that bad? He questioned, glancing up into the solitary steely eye.
"Maa…" Was all Kakashi said. He wanted to scream and yell and curse those demons to the darkest reaches of hell, but he was too tired to say anything more. He was dying to know how the teacher put up with the monsters five days a week, when he, Hatake Kakashi, the Copycat Ninja, former Anbu, could not handle more than a few hours with them. His respect for the chuunin multiplied tenfold after he thought about that.
"Well, I heard that a number of your students were sent to the nurse after the morning exercise. Care to explain?" Iruka queried, a hint of irritation in his voice. Kakashi gingerly rubbed the welt on his head that he still had from their morning obstacle course run. That little Inuzaka punk got what he deserved, along with his mongrel horde.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just a little…discipline, that's all." The copy nin replied, uninterestedly.
"Discipline?! Those children not only had to go to the hospital, they might be mentally scarred! How could you do such a thing to innocent kids?!" The chuunin reprimanded, his voice flaring up. His face was red, but it was not that cute blush that commonly overtook his cheeks. It was red with rage.
"We all have different teaching methods, sensei." Kakashi retorted in a bored voice, shrugging off the death glare that was shot at him. Pfff, and to think that he was actually warming up to this psycho teacher. After a quick wave, Kakashi turned and walked into the building, hurriedly. He didn't want to admit it to even himself, but Iruka was scary when he was mad. Maybe that's why all those kids actually listen to him.

Iruka sighed, the color draining from his face. Poor Kakashi…I should have been a little more understanding. He thought as he wrote on the blackboard. But, he didn't have to impair those children! Iruka dotted an I with a little more force than necessary, and received a wave of "oohs" and "ahhs" as he crushed part of the chalk. Only one hour left. He can make it, right? The chuunin couldn't help but feel worried.
When he learned the reasons behind Kakashi's harassment of the students, he had immediately felt like an ass for yelling. Those kids shouldn't have insulted him like that. They also shouldn't have tried to yank off his mask! And the rock throwing wasn't nice either, and… Iruka's thoughts conjured up all the abuse the jounin had taken, and he decided that he might have snapped too, given the circumstances. He would have to apologize later…
"IRUKA SENSEI!" Konohamaru screamed, wadding up his paper and chucking it at his teacher's head. This managed to snap him back into reality.
"Oh, sorry. I was, erm, thinking." Iruka explained, his face going red with embarrassment. He looked back at the chalkboard and noticed that his writing had slowly turned into a huge scribbled mess near the end. He cleared his throat, turning his attention back to the class. "Now, who can tell me what the three main types of jutsu are?"
His eyes wandered over to the clock, studying the minute hand. Yea, he'd apologize later. If Kakashi lived that long.

The children in Kakashi's class all but ran out of the room when the final bell rang. The jounin sunk into his chair, his head in his hands. He had a headache like no other, but he had to admit that the second half of the day was arguably easier than the first. Especially because the students had been too scared to even lift a pinky without his say so.
"Brats…" Kakashi mumbled. "I'm done though. I'm free, free!" He suddenly had the urge to jump around in joy, but he decided against it. He would celebrate his autonomy some other way. He stood up and began to walk out the room, when a thought struck him.
"Maybe I should thank Iruka for those worksheets…" He contemplated, scratching the back of his head. He had to admit, those were a life saver, and he owed it to the bronze chuunin, even if he had blown up on him. "Maa…I need a drink." He finally said.
"What a role model for the kids you are, Kakashi Sensei."
The silver haired shinobi almost leapt out of his skin in surprise. How did he not feel the teachers chakra? Or even hear him open the door for Kami's sake? Kakashi tried to play it off, and he just shrugged, turning to look at the chuunin in the doorway.
"I hope all went well. No more visits to the nurse." Iruka teased, stepping into the classroom.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is Iruka joking with me now? Wasn't he just yelling his guts out? He has the mood swings of a teenage girl… Kakashi thought, his cheeks beginning to heat. I got to play this up, make him feel bad for what he did. Yea…that should do it! His mind had concocted a plan that would surely in the teacher over.
"Maa…Sorry about those kids, Iruka Sensei. I-I got…carried away." Kakashi apologized, staring at the ground the whole time.
Iruka's face softened as he heard the apology. Emotionless, lazy, un caring Kakashi had just expressed regret for something he had done. The teacher couldn't help but admit that Kakashi looked like one of his students after they had been caught red handed. It was almost…cute. BLAH! Cute? He's a grown man for Kami's sake, and a perverted, bastard of a man too! His thoughts practically screamed back at him.
"And I'm sorry. I had shouldn't have yelled." Iruka added. He sighed, looking at the ashamed jounin. "You said you needed a drink. Do you still want one?" He questioned. It was the least he could do for yelling at him.
Kakashi's head perked up at the mention of the offer. He smirked under his mask, stifling a small laugh. I am too good of an actor! He complimented himself. His apology had worked, and now he was getting free drinks. This day wasn't too horrible after all.
Just before Kakashi could eagerly accept, he was reminded of another promise he had made. He sighed, loudly and obviously.
"Sorry, Iruka Sensei. I have to meet Gai at the training grounds now. But, maybe a little later?" The jounin asked hopefully. Free sake was free sake, no matter who was with you. Kakashi wouldn't let this opportunity go that easily. He noticed Iruka's crestfallen look, but maybe it was just a trick of the light? Because the next second, the chuunin looked completely fine.
"Sounds good. Where and when?" Iruka asked, crossing his arms. Truth be told, he wasn't much of a drinker, and he did not plan on staying out all night, parading through bars and tipping things over, or whatever the hell drunk people did. One drink, that was all.
"I'm not free again until 10 tonight." He lied smoothly. "I know it's late, so I understand if you don't wanna meet me…" He added a soft, distressing undertone to his voice. Almost like a little pout. Nobody can resist this voice my puppy dog eye together! MUAHAHAHA! He cackled inwardly. His visible eye curved down into the most heart wrenching puppy dog eye the world had ever seen. Iruka was a goner.
"So late? But, I-I…" Iruka stopped, mid sentence, as his heart dropped down into his feet. Kakashi was trying to use the puppy dog eye on him. Well, that wont work on me! I deal with that crap from kids all day long! I'm immune! He thought, but his body betrayed his mind, and his cheeks lit up with a fierce blush. Oh damn it…
"Fine, 10 it is. I'll meet you outside the Izakaya Matsu." He finally replied with a sigh. He was too busy thinking of his thinning wallet to see Kakashi's face light up with excitement. "I gotta go anyways. S-Sayonara, Kakashi Sensei." Iruka said tiredly, turning and disappearing on the spot in a puff of smoke.
"Really? He's a chuunin?" Kakashi asked himself, staring at the place where Iruka stood seconds before. His tactics had worked though, and now the teacher was taking him for drinks at one of the most exciting bars in Konoha. And 10 is when happy hour is tonight! He thought, giddy with enthusiasm. Now, he had something to look forward to after hours of sparring with Maito Gai.
Just before Kakashi made the hand signs for his transportation jutsu, he was reminded of how cute Iruka's face was when it was glowing like a tomato. This time, he didn't chastise himself for thinking such things about the bronze chuunin, but only smiled as he vanished in a puff of smoke.

"My Eternal Rival! You Are Always So Fashionably Late. You Burn With The Flames Of Youth Today!"
Kakashi was greeted by the Green Beast of Konoha, rambling on about youth or eternal rivals, as he appeared from a puff of smoke on to the training ground. He stood casually, watching Gai with an uninterested eye, while thoughts swam through his head.
"What Is This?" Gai stopped his speech, noticing the jounin's face. "Why, My Eternal Rival! You Are Blushing So Youthfully! Are You Thinking Of A Certain, Youthful Lover? You Are So Hip And Cool! Blush With The Flames Of Youth!" And with that, Gai flashed a thumbs up and revealed a twinkling smile, posing in all his spandex clad glory.
Kakashi had to resist the urge to clap his hands over his face. There's no way Gai saw me blush! Not through my mask! He thought, worried. He hadn't even been thinking about anything perverted or dirty. Well, maybe just a little perverted and dirty. He immediately banished the images of a certain, bronze chuunin seductively sucking the poison out of a bite on his finger. Well, Iruka was a good medic nin, that was for sure!
"Let's just spar, Gai Sensei." Kakashi said flatly, implying that the subject of his blushing was to be dropped without further questioning. Of course, Gai did not catch on.
"Ahh, Kakashi, You Are So Hip! Tell Me, Who Is This Youthful Lover? Perhaps We Might Engage In A Youthful Endeavor My Students Call A "Double Date." You Know, Eternal Rival, I Too Have A Youthful Lover! And Together We Make Youthful Love!" Gai cried zealously, not caring who was able to hear these personal bits of information.
The silver haired jounin's face was contorted with annoyance. His visible eye narrowed into a deadly slit, which he aimed at Gai.
"." He ordered, his tone full of danger. This time, Gai got the message.
"My Eternal Rival! I Did Not Realize This Was So Personal! Look Deep Into My Eyes And Accept My Sincere Apology. Also Notice My Handsome Manly Features." The bushy browed jounin pleaded exuberantly. Kakashi merely sighed. Gai took this as a sign that all was forgiven, then promptly got off his knees and wiped away his streaming tears. "Oh Kakashi, The Way You Forgive So Easily Makes You All The More Youthful!" And then he flashed his signature thumbs up, tossing in an extra wink just because.
"I came here to train, Gai. Lets just start already." Kakashi groaned, bored out of his mind. The sooner they started, they sooner they would end.
"Alright, My Eternal Rival. And If I Lose, I Will Do 500 Laps Around Konoha With Only My Left Leg! And If I Fail That, I Will Do 1,000 Sit Ups. And If I Fail That, I Will Bake 500 Cakes Using Only My Feet…" Gai exclaimed passionately, continuing his list of nearly impossible tasks.
"I might as well just take a nap." Kakashi mumbled as Gai's list grew longer and longer. He pulled out his Icha Icha Violence and started to read where he left off. Gai would figure out he wasn't listening sooner or later. YOSH! Kakashi cheered mentally. Aiko accepted the chocolates Katsu gave her! Little does she know that they are filled with a powerful aphrodisiac! That means…WILD SEX!
