#To Begin With, with you#
Iruka did his best to catch up to the jounin.
He was incredibly fast! Therefore, Iruka was running on top of his abilities and even shouted for him to stop, but it seemed Kakashi's ears were filled with the howl of the wind. Well, so were Iruka's.
All of a sudden, Iruka stopped. He lost the jounin!
Impossible. Just a second ago, he ran in front of Iruka along the rooftops. And now he simply disappeared. Where to?
Iruka looked around. The way was clear in every direction. He must have jumped down, then! Iruka looked down from the side of the roof. No one similar to Kakashi caught his eye.
Well...
Iruka was ready to jump down and start to look for the jounin there, but then he noticed the chimney. He thought for a second, and then carefully crept around the corner and glared behind the chimney.
Kakashi sat there with his bare cheek pressed to the chimney's side. And stared at Iruka's stunned face.
So, that jerk was playing hide-and-seek. No way would Iruka go easy on him after that!
Iruka jumped to the jounin and pushed him down flat at the roof. Kakashi was startled, but he only blinked in unbelief, when Iruka caught his wrists and additionally pressed him to the roof with his body.
"You," Iruka cried at the top of his lungs into the jounin's face. "What the..." he realized he was wrong shouting like crazy, caught his breath, exhaled and began once again. "What are you doing, running away from me? Playing games?"
Without saying a word, Kakashi continued to stare at him, who was so demanding, and powerful, and on top. Moreover, he didn't make any efforts to free himself from Iruka's hands, although he surely could.
For Iruka, it was rather pleasurable to lay like this, but solving the problems came first.
"Kakashi, I ask you again." Iruka mumbled. Very slowly, his racing mind was returning to its senses.
Right that moment he realized what he was actually doing.
He caught one of the most dangerous men miles and miles around. The man he wanted to get closer to, but was afraid even to look at. In addition, now he was pressing him into the roof in a very impolite manner.
"Go on, ask me again," the deep voice of the jounin broke the flow of Iruka's thoughts.
Kakashi's relaxed muscles became tense and Iruka felt the jounin's legs start to slide up and entwine around his legs, tug both of them closer together.
"Ah, I..." Iruka mumbled quieter.
The jounin's touch felt very, very good. So good that Iruka's eyes closed on their own accord. "I don't remember anymore, but anyway..."
"Yes?" Kakashi's legs tugged him even closer and their crotches touched.
To Iruka, that sensation was as if a lightning went through his body and heated all of him on its way. He exhaled a moan of pleasure, his muscles relaxed, and the very next moment he found their positions reverse.
Now it was Kakashi, who pressed him forcefully into the roof.
"You are an amazingly sly man, Iruka-sensei. It's you, who plays games. And you play dirty."
Iruka opened his eyes; it was his turn to stare.
"How dare you! I play dirty? Look who talks!"
Kakashi smiled sheepishly, as only he could. Iruka's heart skipped a bit.
"Why were you chasing after me, if you already have a date with Genma this night?"
"D-d-ate? Me? With Genma? Ha!"
Iruka continued to stare. He didn't understand what the jounin was implying.
Because what he promised to Genma was to lend him his set of kunai. Genma lost his own set during the previous mission and didn't manage to buy himself a new one. Iruka didn't think much of people who spend all their money on toys and don't leave any cash for special cases (like urgent supplies). Still, Genma was his friend, and he had a mission very soon. Of course, Iruka couldn't abandon him in this situation.
Kakashi laughed bitterly.
"You flirt with me when you actually have plans with Genma. Or, maybe you have not only Genma, but several other men who wait for you today? How many are there, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka gulped. This moment Kakashi looked and talked so evilly, it thrilled Iruka to the very core.
Iruka saw perfectly well the jounin was angry and somehow hurt, but he didn't get the clue how it was him who was the reason of that. Because Iruka had no men awaiting for him. He even didn't have a boyfriend, for that matter. His head was so filled with Kakashi, he had no desire to as much as look around and notice anyone else.
That was why Kakashi's words hurt him, too. If the jounin knew the truth, he wouldn't be able to look down at Iruka!
"There is only one," Iruka said bitterly while looking straight into Kakashi's angry face.
Kakashi's eye narrowed.
"Genma, after all," he stated.
"No!" Iruka cried desperately and made an effort to free himself from Kakashi's hands. However, this forceful effort only caused them to touch each other more.
"Then, who is it?"
Now, that felt embarrassing! For Iruka to say to Kakashi that it was he, who filled his thoughts? Iruka was not ready!
"Why would you want to know?" he wondered accurately.
Kakashi growled and pressed his body further into Iruka's. Again, Iruka couldn't suppress the moan of pleasure. Heated Kakashi felt really good. If only he wasn't angry with Iruka.
"I wish I could beat that man into a pulp, so he won't be able to approach you ever again," Kakashi hissed through the clenched teeth and for a short moment made their crotches rub against each other.
"Stop with these jokes," Iruka tried to wiggle out of the jounin's grip, but it only made the sensations intensify.
"I'm not joking, I want to," insisted Kakashi.
And Iruka gave up.
"Then, why don't you beat yourself into a pulp right now? How about it?" he sounded annoyed, because he was losing control over his body.
The jounin frowned at him.
"Me?"
"Yes, exactly. You. You get it, don't you? Go on, start with it already."
They froze and continued to stare at each other. Slowly, Kakashi's expression softened.
"Iruka," he exhaled and lowered his face closer to the teacher's while whispering, "don't tempt me like this."
Suddenly, they heard the loud sound and the hasty steps approached them.
"What the hell are you two doing, again?" cried Genma. He pushed Kakashi's shoulder, and the jounin rolled to the side together with Iruka. "Why are you having fun here, while I still don't have a single kunai? I have to leave for a mission in two minutes!"
"Yeah, yeah," Iruka said quickly. He pushed Kakashi's hands off himself and stood up.
Without as much as another glance at Kakashi, he jumped from the roof down to the street and ran to his home as fast as he only could. Genma followed him in tow.
At home, Iruka immediately pulled his set of kunai out of the shelf and pushed them into Genma's ready hands. Genma nodded and quickly left.
Very much relieved, Iruka sighed.
Nevertheless, what he didn't expect at all, was that Kakashi followed him, too. Now, the jounin stood in Iruka's corridor, leaning at the doorframe and watching the teacher closely.
As soon as Iruka noticed him, his hands and knees became weak. He leaned at the nearest wall.
"What?" he asked in a low voice. It sounded like someone else's.
Kakashi shrugged.
"So, it was like this? Why didn't you tell me, to begin with?"
"Did you ask me, for me to tell you?" Although Iruka was nervous, he still pouted.
Kakashi laughed.
"Aren't you smart?"
"No, I'm not." Iruka stated in a harsh voice and openly looked at the jounin. "Now what?"
"You tell me."
Iruka's breath caught. It was his chance to tell the truth about his feelings. However, somehow, it became unbearably hard to open his mouth and form the right words.
Iruka realized he was afraid to the point he could faint. He closed his eyes. What frightened him so much? Iruka looked for an answer inside his somehow very clear head.
He was afraid Kakashi can reject him and then everything will be over. But, wasn't it already over from the very beginning?
Iruka smiled at his own stupidity and opened his eyes just to see Kakashi's lazy posture. He looked the jounin straight into the eye and, in spite of all the stuttering and confusing words, managed to say.
"Ka… kashi. I... like... all of... yours. I'd like... for you to... try to be... my fr... No, boyfriend. My boy… friend."
There, he said it.
And, judging by the fact Kakashi's posture wasn't lazy anymore, and the way his eye widened in shock, the jounin didn't expect it at all.
