The jounin grinned back as the container in Iruka's hand wobbled slightly. Make that 23 cookies.
"You know, those are supposed to be for the teachers."
"I'm a teacher," Kakashi mumbled around a mouthful of sugar cookie. Iruka had yet to actually catch Kakashi with his hand in the Tupperware or putting a cookie in his mouth, but the crumbs decorating the front of Kakashi's mask were a dead giveaway.
"The teachers at the Academy." Iruka switched the Tupperware to his other hand, putting himself between Kakashi and the cookies.
"I'm sure they won't mind." A hand brushed along Iruka's back. He shivered, then pulled his scarf tighter. Apparently he was colder than he realized.
The Tupperware felt a lot lighter - probably because it was in Kakashi's hands for the moment, lid open as two more cookies were liberated. Iruka pinched the bridge of his nose and reminded himself that throwing kunai was not the appropriate response to a cookie thief. No matter how satisfying it would be. Besides, Kakashi would just dodge. Really, there was no winning against Kakashi.
The jounin was still grinning as he offered the Tupperware back to Iruka.
"Keep it," Iruka sighed. "I'll make another batch over the weekend."
If anything, Kakashi's grin seemed to get wider as he tore the lid off the Tupperware to devour cookies unhindered. "Will you make some for me?"
Iruka half-glared at the jounin. It was hard to be really mad when Kakashi looked so happy over a few baked goods. "I suppose I'll have to, if only to keep the rest from disappearing before I get to school. Again."
He shivered again as Kakashi practically beamed at him. He needed to remember to dress warmer from now on.
