#Part 7#
No moves, nothing. Iruka just stays there and looks at Kakashi.
Silently. Calmly.
Kakashi can't bear it anymore. It hurts so much inside his chest!
Finally, he explodes.
"Who are you? You are not my Iruka. My Iruka doesn't keep silent. My Iruka either shouts, yells or cries. He expresses himself and shows his true emotions. He cries out his opinion and demands to be heard and taken into account. He fights for his thoughts. And who are you? You are definitely not him."
Kakashi narrows his eye and stares intensely at the man in front of him.
And Iruka stares back.
He's not wavering under the jounin's intense glare, not for a second. Although he feels deeply offended, he does his best to stay strong.
"If you created 'your Iruka' in your head, then I'm very sorry," Iruka declares levelly. "I'm not him. I'm alive and, occasionally, I can change. Actually, it's you, who caused the biggest changes in me. If you are a coward to meet me as I am now, then go away from the real me here and live with that stupid 'your Iruka' in your head!"
In the end, Iruka starts to yell, indeed.
He stops abruptly, when he notices what he is doing. His head drops and he closes his eyes in annoyance. So much for trying so hard to avoid being loud!
That impossible jounin and his guts!
Iruka bites his lower lip and tries his best to calm down again quickly.
When he raises his head and opens his eyes, he sees that Kakashi is smiling. Iruka can see that idiotic smile even though the jounin wears his mask.
"I knew it, there is no other Iruka except you, and there can't be," Kakashi murmurs in a soft voice Iruka likes so much and steps closer.
He stretches his hands with undisguised intention to take Iruka into his arms.
But Iruka makes an equal step back. He is too angry to receive intimate embraces right now.
Moreover, he is so annoyed he wants to punch the jounin.
This jounin, he deserves a punch right into his face; the face Iruka likes so much - to bruise the only lips in the entire world, which can kiss him senseless.
Iruka hesitates a short moment and tries to imagine it, even though he knows he will never perform the punch.
Kakashi takes advantage of his hesitation and, once again, makes an effort to shorten the distance between them.
He steps closer. And Iruka steps back.
"Go away, you cheater," Iruka hisses through the gritted teeth.
He already understands he lost his calm completely and there is no way it can be restored.
That is entirely Kakashi's fault. Everything is Kakashi's fault!
As if Iruka can let Kakashi to touch his body after what happened!
And thus, Iruka continues to step back, purposefully avoiding Kakashi.
Kakashi doesn't like it. He wants the chuunin in his arms and he wants him there right now.
He growls menacingly.
"Iruka, don't tempt me!"
Iruka knows what this tone means.
He's in trouble.
Not because Kakashi is dangerous, Iruka has no fear of the jounin.
He is in trouble, because he, too, feels the trills of desire.
The horde of butterflies in his stomach, as well as the warm pulsing in his lower parts, clearly tell him, that, if he stays here for another minute, he'll be up and all hot and ready for Kakashi to devour.
That, as practice shows, can happen in no time.
The knowledge makes Iruka even more annoyed. He can't help it.
Somewhere deep inside he believes Kakashi is only his, and, naturally, he is only Kakashi's, and nothing can change it – it doesn't really matter what will happen between them, or in the world.
Even if they fall apart, or one of them disappears from earth, it can't change the basic setting.
