So now, I bring you the next chapter! Be happy I love you all so much! I wrote this one while I was stuck in school after school!!!!
Yup yup. This one is a bit late. Better late then never though, eh? I COULD have kept you all waiting another DAY!
"Naruto, why are he here again?" Iruka asked, looking to the police station when he was supposed to be off shift for the second time in a week. Once again, Naruto had insisted he take Sasuke and him down to the station and that he wear good cloths. Something was different in the situation though. Naruto also wanted Sakura to come, and none of them were dressed up at all. Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke simply led Iruka along, to the once again dark police station. It was not really a surprise when you hold a party 2 times in a week. None the less though Iruka had decided to come down anyways. Iruka could not help but notice another thing. When he had been their 3 nights ago, there had been cars in the parking lot. Tonight, there were no cars there at all. In fact, it seemed no one was at the station.
Despite all the changes, Iruka would still attend the little party. He was really tired and didn't feel like it, but he didn't want to let everyone down. Naruto was tugging Iruka along, holding onto his wrist, grin plastered on his face. Sasuke looked like he just wanted the entire thing to be over with. They finally got inside the station, and Iruka began walking off with Naruto for the cafeteria. Once they got to the door, Naruto peeked in a little bit again. This time though, he slowly stepped away, holding the door open a bit for Iruka, and motioning for Iruka to go in. Iruka was confused now. No excuses? And Naruto wasn't coming in? Iruka raised an eyebrow, but did not question, opening the door and stepping in like he was told, door closing behind him.
The room was already lit. Not my ceiling lights though, there was a dim light in the room caused by a mass amount of candles all piled up on a table. It took some time for Iruka's vision to adjust, and when it did, he almost didn't believe his eyes.
All the tables were gone. The entire cafeteria didn't look anything like one now. Instead, it had a single table in the center with two chairs at it, plates, silverware, wine, and roses right in the center of the table. There was a satin cloth covering the table and the two chairs that were there looked like they belonged in a fancy restaurant.
"What the..." Iruka said, unable to believe what he saw. He did not have a lot of time to finish his thought process, for suddenly he felt pressure on his shoulder. He looked over the shoulder he felt the sudden pressure on, trying to see who had placed their hand there. Kakashi stood next to Iruka, smiling down at him. The odd part about it though, was the fact that Kakashi did not have his normal 'joking around and mischievous' smile though... it was a sincere smile. Iruka almost couldn't believe what was happening. Did Kakashi arrange all of this?
"Kakashi? What is going on?" he asked. "If this is some kind of joke or some-"
"Iruka." Kakashi said to cut him off. He stepped in front of Iruka, serious expression on his face now. He put both of his hands on Iruka's shoulders now. "I am serious. Believe me." he told him. Iruka couldn't remember him being so serious, except for when Mizuki attacked him. He knew Kakashi was not joking around about anything. Iruka looked into Kakashi's eyes, not seeing anything in them that should make him think otherwise. He nodded to Kakashi now, to say that he understood. Kakashi slowly smiled again after this, which soon turned into the smile Iruka had seen on Kakashi while he was in the cell.
"Comon Iruka, we do not want to keep the waiters waiting. They made a special dinner for us." he said, standing next to Iruka again, wrapping an arm around his waist, and leading him off towards the small table. Once he got there, he went to his side of the table, leaving Iruka to go and sit in the available seat. Iruka was totally lost by now. He had no idea what was going on, or why Kakashi had set this up... or who the supposed waiters were. His answer for the last question soon came though, as the doors of the cafeteria opened.
Sasuke held the door open, suddenly changed into a waiter's outfit, tray with drinks in his hand. Naruto (also clad in a red and white uniform) rolled in a cart, with silver platters on it, while Sakura followed up behind, also dressed in a special outfit. Sakura came up to the table, while Naruto stood behind the cart, and Sasuke followed, setting the drinks down before Kakashi and Iruka.
"Good evening Gentlemen. Thank you for coming to Le Cafe de Seven. For meal for tonight includes an traditional Italian dish, spaghetti and meatballs..." she said, as Naruto opened the lid to one silver platter, and Sasuke picked up the dishes of pasta from both and set them in front of Kakashi and Iruka. "... and we also have a side salad..." she continued, and the same thing occurred, but with plates of salad this time. Usually salad came first, then the main dish was set out... but Iruka could not help but to find it cute how hard they were trying, and the meal looked delicious. And it was so nice to see Naruto and Sasuke working together.
"And finally, to top it all off, we got you some Merlot wine to add some flavor to your meal." she said, with a grin, and stepped back. Naruto turned the cart around, having unloaded everything, and began to push it for the front doors. Sasuke opened the door for him, letting him out, before stepping outside himself. The last to leave was Sakura, saying "Call us if you need anything!" and exiting through the door.
Iruka looked over to Kakashi, waiting to see if anyone or anything else was going to cut him off. Things had a way of doing that lately. Once it seemed like he could get a word in without interruption, since Kakashi was already starting on his salad, he spoke up.
"I... appreciate this and all Kakashi, but... why?" he asked, looking to Kakashi. Kakashi paused while eating, looking up to Iruka. He put his fork down, out of the way, and looked at him from across the table.
"I do not have a lot of time left before my court date. I might not be able to see you again after... it all depends on what they do with me. I might end up in a high security prison for the rest of my life, or just get community service. I just wanted one last chance to say... thank you. Not only that but I..." he said, trying to word out what he wanted to say. It was oddly hard to be able to get out. Just three simple words, and yet it was very difficult to be able to express those to Iruka.
"I... would you be okay with never seeing me again, Iruka?" he asked, deciding to at least try to see if Iruka might remotely even think the same about him first.
Iruka thought this over, while he started to pick at his salad. Would he be fine with it if Kakashi went away forever? Kakashi had been there with him for two or three weeks now... but it seemed like so much longer. Iruka's job suddenly seemed more interesting when Kakashi was around to badger him. Heck, sometimes Iruka would even wake up before the alarm went off, by instinct, because he wanted to get to work right on time. So in the end, Iruka knew he would be very lonely without Kakashi around. But even if he didn't get sentenced to life in jail, he couldn't stay with Iruka all the time anyways, so he would be lonely no matter what. Could Iruka handle never seeing him though?
Iruka took a sip from his glass of wine, setting it down again after words, and taking a look at Kakashi. "No, I do not think I would be okay with that. You are... a good friend." he said, starting to eat his salad again.
Kakashi mentally groaned. That was about half the answer he had wanted from Iruka. He would miss him... but was it only becaused he valued both of them as friends? Kakashi started to eat his salad now, thinking this thought over.
The two ate in complete silence, both thinking over different things.
Once the food was gone, and nothing left but wine, there was nothing else to use an as excuse to not start conversation. They sat in silence for a moment after the food was gone, both looking at one another.
Iruka spoke up first, getting up suddenly from his chair, and stepping away from the table.
"Thank you very much for the meal Kakashi-san, but I must get back home. Naruto needs to go to bed and I should also b-"
"Iruka wait." Kakashi said, standing up as well and walking right over to Iruka. Once he was close to Iruka, he placed his hands firmly on his waist, looking down at him. He was not going to let this chance slip away. He had thrown this together for a reason, and he was going to definitely use this chance.
"For wait Kakashi? What exactly am I waiting for?" Iruka asked. He had had enough of this. He wanted to know the real reason he was given a good dinner, why Kakashi fought so hard to protect him from Mizuki... why Kakashi had kissed him... everything.
"For the real reason I did all this for you." Kakashi said, and took this as his chance to tell Iruka. He stepped closer, wrapping his arms tightly around Iruka's waist, and bent his head down slightly, and pressed his lips against Iruka's. They had been slightly open, since Iruka had intended to say something back to him before.
They stayed in this embrace for a couple of seconds, before Iruka started to slowly respond. His arms lifted up, sliding around Kakashi's neck, and he pressed into the kiss as well, eyes fluttering closed. They stayed like this for a minute, before Iruka pulled away, eyes open and looking up to Kakashi, questioning.
"Kakashi... why?" he asked, voice quieter then before.
"I love you, Iruka." Kakashi answered, arms around his waist tightening a tad more.
"But... we barley know each other. We can't possibly..." Iruka said, eyes downcast down, trying to avoid Kakashi's gaze.
"I don't know how it happened or why, but I do Iruka. You can't control who you fall in love with." he replied, one hand moving up and catching Iruka's chin between his fingers, gently lifting it to make him look up into his eyes once more. "I will do anything for you Iruka. I was planning on running away before my court date. I have never been to one. But if you wanted me to, I would go to it. I will go to it. I just want to be with you." Kakashi said. This whole pouring his heart out thing was getting harder and harder. He brushed his hand against Iruka's cheek, before resting it on his neck.
Meanwhile...
"Anko! Get out of the way! I want to see!!!" snapped Kurenai, as they fought over window space, in order to see into the cafeteria.
"No way! It is just getting to the good part!" said the other officer, standing her ground and looking in. "I don't want to miss it!" she added in, though finally they were able to find a way for both of them to look in.
"This need to come off. Now. I demand my old clothing." Sasuke said murderously. He was not a happy camper, and did not care whether or not Kakashi and Iruka were swapping spit or not. He wanted out.
"Ah calm down teme! You need to have a little submissiveness beat into you! The waiter outfit does you good!" Naruto said, sticking his tongue out at Sasuke.
"Why did I get dragged into this?" said Asuma, standing in the corner and looking ready to kill himself. "Kakashi is a good guy and all... but it is a little awkward to be digging into his personal life like this."
"Do not fret! I for one am happy and joyous about their youthful connection! It is so youthful how my eternal rival has decided to seek out his loved one and try to court him! It is even more youthful that he does not care whether said loved one is man or woman! Certainly a leap of youthful fate from him! I wish I could go in there right now and embrace him and congratulate him on his effort-"
"Oh would you just shut up already ready? I am trying to focus on the scene here!" Anko snapped, cutting Gai off. He continued his rant though, in his head.
"Now everyone shut up. Any of you say another word, and I will personally see to it that a very sharp a spiked metal stake gets shoved up your ass until it comes out your mouth." Anko said, turning to look back.
After everyone got over the shock and horrible mental image, they made sure to stay silent.
"Iruka... could you at least think it ove-"
Before Kakashi could get the sentence out, it was Iruka who had cut him off this time. He pushed himself upwards a bit, pulling down on Kakashi to bring him closer, and planted his lips right over Kakashi's.
'Well, that didn't take very long'
Kakashi was certainly not complaining though. He smirked into the kiss for a moment, before his hand returned to Iruka's waist, and he kissed Iruka back. He decided to be a bit daring in the kiss, and swiped his tongue out, running it along Iruka's bottom lip. This got a slight shiver out of Iruka. Iruka slowly parted his lips now, with silent invitation. Kakashi was not slow to take him up on his offer. His tongue slid into Iruka's mouth, sliding against Iruka's tongue, which slowly responded.
They stayed tangled in one another's arm for a while, before they had to part due to lack of breath.
After the kiss ended, Iruka looked up to Kakashi with a smile.
"You talk too much."
Kakashi rolled his eyes, smirking now.
"Yeah, well you know us convicts. Talking our way out of everything. So, do you want me to go to my court meeting? It is up to you now."
Iruka answered right away without a moments hesitation. "Yes, it would be a good idea. If you plead guilty, they are only going to keep you for a month at most, and lots of community service."
Kakashi nodded, accepting this. Suddenly, he got a mischievous glint in his eye. He bent his head down, mouth next to Iruka's ear.
"You know, Iruka kun... If I am going to be gone for a month, that means that you are going to be alone for all that time. I would not hold it against you to want to make a good memory to keep close to you before I am gone and out of reach..." he said, lips traveling to Iruka's neck now, ghosting over the sensitive skin there.
Iruka stiffened up, grip on Kakashi tightening, biting down on his bottom lip in order to keep in the small whimper that almost came out.
"Kaka-... ah... ashi, no." he said, squeezing his eyes shut.
"No, Iruka? Pray tell... why not? Are you trying to tell me you don't want me?" Kakashi murmured, pressing his lips against Iruka's neck.
"N-no I am not... I ... "
"Then give me a reason why not..."
"We're being watched."
"... What?" Kakashi asked, taking his lips away now, looking completely confused. "How do yo-"
"They're looking from the left right now. We did the same thing when we spied on Kurenai and Asuma. They are not really original. There is supposed to be a tile covering up that wall, but suddenly there is a small window there now." Iruka said, as if it really didn't matter.
"Oh. Well then... I guess it really will have to wait. Unless you want to give them a free sho-"
"No need." Iruka snapped in, turning red. "Let's just wait, okay?"
Kakashi smiled now, and gave Iruka a quick kiss, before detaching himself.
"All right. Fine with me."
Up next... MOMENT OF TRUTH! The Courthouse scene! Kakashi's sentance! Something is fishy though...
Blah blah... reveiw please, and all that jazz.
