Chapter 7
June 2 Floral Island
"So what's it like gettin' freaky with a snake thing?" Kiba asked Neji suddenly.
The long haired brunette sputtered, making him choke on his tea that the snakes had gladly given him. It had been two weeks since they were first washed up here and two weeks since Neji and Gaara had been seeing each other in private to continue there little 'meetings.' Neji never thought that first night with the coral snake would continue on; he didn't even know what to call it. They weren't friends so he couldn't call it 'friends with benefits.' It sure weren't no one night stand and the only time they saw each other was when Gaara wanted to be fucked, as the snake gladly said.
"What in the hell are you talking about?" Neji snapped back after he gathered his senses, wiping his mouth and chin.
"Ya and that Gaara guy, ya two have been screwin' for a while now, right?" The larger male had a look of interest on his face as he gazed at the other, gaining the attention of Kakashi and Iruka.
Narrowing his eyes, Neji took a delicate sip after saying, "Whatever I do in private isn't of your concern."
"Aha! So ya two have been fuckin' each other! What's it like?"
Neji let out an irritated sigh, figuring that if he didn't leave now, he wasn't going to be able to finish his tea in peace. Standing up, he made to leave, accept for one little problem; Kiba had grabbed a hold of the yukata the long haired brunette was wearing (the very same one that Naruto had worn two weeks ago, only he tailored it to fit his size), making him trip and drop his cup. Neji yelped when he lost his footing, preparing himself for the pain of hitting the ground... only to feel arms wrap around him and catch him.
Looking up, Neji sighed in relief when he saw it was Naruto. "Oh thank god. Can you please entertain your friend for a while and keep him under control?" He left without waiting for a reply with a huff, closing the door of their room none too gently.
Kiba winced, especially when he saw the now empty cup on the floor, the tea now being licked up by the dog, now named Akamaru. That was the last cup of tea Neji was going to have for a while. "Shit, maybe I should keep my big mouth shut."
"It would help in many ways," Kakashi muttered behind his hand that was holding his head up, elbow sitting on his knee.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kiba rounded on his captain, glaring at the way the older man was smiling at him.
Iruka, not wanting to get in the middle, moved towards Naruto; glad he did so soon when Kakashi made a snarky remark, which in turn had Kiba jumping towards the captain, aiming for the man's neck.
?
Sighing in sadness at the thought of not being able to finish his last cup of tea, Neji stopped where he was after making sure he was no where near his and his friends' room. How in the hell did that stupid dog breath know he and Gaara were messing around with each other? They kept themselves scarce from the others when they did it, using a part of the palace or a room that wasn't in use. So how could Kiba know?
"Stupid mutt..." he murmured to himself, letting himself slide down the wall he had been leaning on so he could sit down. It was quiet where he was and he liked it, giving him time to think to himself without anyone breathing down his neck.
Speaking of breathing down necks, Neji jumped when he felt a puff of hot air blow across the flesh beneath his jaw. Looking towards the direction the blow came from, the brunette saw that it was none other than Gaara, who was looking at him with lust filled eyes and a lazy grin. Neji knew what that meant, the snake was horny and wanted him to satisfy him.
Turning away when the redhead went to kiss him, Neji grumbled, "I'm not in the mood right now Gaara."
Gaara pouted at this, but it soon disappeared when he saw how stressed the other looked. Curling his tail around the other, he stated, "Something's bothering you. What is it?"
"It's nothing, just a little angry at the mutt."
The redhead had come to the term of mutt as Kiba's nick name for the long haired brunette and knew immediately why Neji was upset right now. Those two hardly got along, more so now ever since they were washed up on this island. On the boat, they hardly crossed paths, but here they were constantly around each other and their different personalities always bugged one another to the point where they would almost always get into a wrestling match.
Smirking softly, the redheaded snake pressed his torso up against Neji's side and began to nip and kiss at his neck, causing the other to gasp. "I can help you with that," he whispered against the brunette's neck.
It didn't take long to convince the human and soon enough, the creature was dragging Neji to a secluded room.
?
"What did you do now?" Naruto asked in a way that said he rather not deal with this right now. He was tired from trying to avoid Sasuke ever since the black snake had almost kissed him four days ago... and the blond almost let him.
Kiba looked offended. "I didn't do anythin'! All I asked was what was it like havin' sex with a snake!" He received a smack from the blond, making him whine and rub where Naruto had him. "What the fuck was that for?"
"Kiba..." Naruto sighed. "When will you learn that Neji isn't like us? He's not as... crude as we are and keeps to himself. And he's easily embarrassed. I know you would tell us all about your sex adventures, but that's not Neji. So I suggest you apologize and try not to annoy him; you are the one that annoys him first." Lecture done, the blond took some fruit and meat and put them in the basket Kiba just now noticed, before leaving the group to do who knows what.
?
It was about time that Naruto had a talk with Sasuke; the blond could feel the other's aggravation even from outside the room. Knocking once, Naruto opened the door, only to see that the snake was fast asleep by the window. Sasuke had his head on his arms, which were leaning on the windowsill, tail curled around him and eyebrows furrowed in frustration. The human couldn't stop the soft smile that curled itself upon his face.
Setting aside the basket on the low, small table that was in the middle of the room, Naruto made his way towards the snake, shaking the snake awake once beside him. Sasuke breathed in sharply and stretched after a few shakes, making a few squeaky groans when he stretched his arms out. He was surprised to see the blond there, smiling down at him as if Naruto hadn't been avoiding him for four days.
Sitting up from the windowsill, Sasuke growled out, "What do you want? Last time I checked, you were avoiding me like the plague." He glided across the floor towards the basket of food, now noticing how hungry he was. Without asking, the snake began swallowing everything in the basket while waiting for an explanation from the blond.
Naruto sighed, the smile long gone. "Why did you try to kiss me?"
Sasuke stopped, a piece of meat hanging from his mouth. Recomposing himself, the snake swallowed what was left in his mouth, scratching the side of his nose as he thought of what to say that wouldn't make the human angry. "Well," he started, "who wouldn't kiss you? I mean, you're delicious looking."
Ok, maybe he could have worded that better. And by the way Naruto was looking at him, the blond thought so too.
"Really? Is that all you could come up with, 'I look delicious?'" Crossing his arms over his chest, Naruto strode over towards the creature, tilting his head. "Why not tell me the truth? You're not a very good liar anyways."
Sasuke glared at the human, but Naruto wasn't fazed by it and glared back expectantly. The snake looked as if he was trying to come up with some sort of excuse again, but in the end, he sighed in defeat while his gaze softened. Naruto continued to gaze at the other, getting rather impatient from Sasuke's stalling. However, what Sasuke said next had Naruto pale quickly.
"I want you," the snake murmured, not looking at the other. "And I don't mean I want to fuck, I do want to do that though, but I want all of you; I want you to become my mate." He stilled couldn't look at the blond, but he knew he had surprised the human when he heard Naruto take in a sharp breath. "You don't have to answer now, but I will come and find you when you have your answer."
Sasuke lifted his eyes to see Naruto was rather pale, eyes wide in shock, and body trembling, but from what, the snake didn't know. Turning away, Sasuke left without another word and before the blond could open his mouth.
?
"Apologize? Pfft, he's the one that should be apologizin'!" Kiba grumbled to himself as he searched for the long haired brunette. Several times he had asked passing servants if they had seen Neji and several times he was pointed to all sorts of directions before he finally gave up on asking. He just hoped Neji wasn't doing anything with that redheaded snake. He could have sworn that he's been down several of these hallways twice.
Taking a sharp left, Kiba finally strode down a hallway he didn't recognize. Further up ahead, he could hear some scuffling and he quickened his pace to see if Neji was in danger. He slowed when he reached a curve of the hallway and pressed himself against the wall, peeking out only to see nothing, but he could still hear something shifting about and now moans and panting went with it. The noise was coming from a room to his right and Kiba could guess what was making all that noise.
The large brunette tiptoed to the door and gently pressed it open, eyes widening when he saw what was making all that noise. Neji had Gaara pressed face first into a wall, thrusting into him harshly while holding onto the snake's hips. The redhead was moaning quite loudly while Neji stayed quiet except for the occasional panting, grunt, or groan. The end of Gaara's tail was wrapped around one of the long haired brunette's legs while his hands pressed against the wall in front of him.
Kiba felt as if his head had exploded.
So into their throws of pleasure, the two had yet to notice the peeking tom... or the mischievous black haired snake that was now sitting next to Kiba.
"Fascinating, isn't it?"
Kiba took in a sharp breath to keep from screaming and jumped away from the voice, glaring when he noticed that it was Sai. Ever since they came here, this snake would not leave him alone when he was free. Not wanting the two mating creatures to notice him, Kiba walked away, knowing that Sai was following him. The brunette frowned when he felt the other's presence beside him, but chose to ignore the black and white stripped snake.
"I have had sex before, but it's kind of hard to go as fast as they are since we have tails and not legs," Sai said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "It makes it quite difficult to do so."
"For the hundredth time, I will not have sex with ya," Kiba snapped back, growling angrily when the snake didn't get the message that he wanted to be alone. "What will it take for ya to leave me alone without havin' sex with ya?"
Sai appeared to be thinking before he shrugged, that damn grin still planted on his face. "How about this, you fuck me once and I'll leave you alone."
This stopped the human, making him turn towards the creature with questioning eyes. "One fuck?"
Sai nodded.
"Then ya'll leave me alone?"
Another nod.
Kiba thought about before he winced with a groan. "Fine. Just one fuck and then I don't want to see ya ever again, got it?"
Sai grabbed his wrist and began pulling the brunette through the halls to his own servant quarters as an answer. At the same time, Kiba was asking himself what he had gotten himself into.
?
Confused, happy, and upset; these were the emotions Naruto was feeling at the moment after that talk with Sasuke. Confused, because he didn't know exactly what to make of this situation; happy, because now he knew that Sasuke loves him; upset, because he couldn't find Sasuke to give his answer. Yet, the blond wasn't sure that he was in love with the snake; more like he really liked the black creature. And walking down the halls by himself wasn't helping his mood. He needed to talk to someone, someone like Iruka.
Looking around to see where he was, Naruto noticed that he was in a hall that he hadn't been in before. With a shrug, he decided to explore while wondering why he hadn't seen any servants running around yet. He passed by many open doors that looked like servant rooms, which made him think he was in the servants' area of the palace. However, one door was slightly open. Curious, Naruto went to go investigate.
As he got closer, he heard some hissing and groaning coming from it. Expecting to see two snakes going at it, the blond peeked in, only to see a long blond male snake hanging onto a looped rope that was attached to the ceiling, its back to him. The snake's tail was bluish-black with a yellow underbelly and it was curled underneath him with a thin mat over it so it could catch the baby.
Wait... baby?
Naruto's eyes widened when he saw that the snake was indeed giving birth; he could already see the head coming out from what the blond thought was the birthing snake's anal where a human's would be. He gasped in alarm when the blond creature gave a small shout as he gave a hard push. His gasp alerted the blond snake and he looked over his shoulder in hope, almost sighing in relief to see that someone was there.
"Well don't just stand there, help me!" the snake snapped.
The human had no idea what the other just said, but knew he wanted help from the pleading look the creature was giving him. Running quickly to the snake, Naruto asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Help pull this bastard out of me!" the snake yelled, in English this time, as another contraction came over him in waves.
Nodding, Naruto took hold of what he could of the baby gently and began to pull as the snake pushed, not even slightly disgusted from all the blood and other fluids that stuck to his hands or came out from the other's body. Hey, he helped plenty of animals give birth and this wasn't any different. Naruto twisted the little body to get the shoulders through, knowing that the rest would slide out easily.
The snake gave one more push, which was just enough to get the shoulders through. The blond creature sighed in relief when Naruto the baby the rest of the way out, blood and other kinds of fluid following out in a heavily gush. It dripped down the snake's tail, splashed some on Naruto's clothing, and fell down to the ground.
The creature fell into a heap on the ground, breathing heavily as Naruto held the little snake in his arms. In just a few seconds, the little one gave a shout, surprising the human. Sitting himself on his cushioned tail, the snake reached for his baby that was still attached to him, which Naruto gladly handed the baby to its mother. The new male mother cuddled his baby close to his chest as he smiled down at his crying child, sweat dripping down his face and body.
The human smiled at this rather touching moment, feeling tears well up in his eyes until something wet plopped onto his boot. Looking down, Naruto was horrified to see that it was the snake's afterbirth.
"S-sorry," the snake whispered, smiling weakly.
"It's alright," Naruto replied as he tried to smile it off, pushing the afterbirth aside with his foot.
"Thank you so much; I was afraid I was going to do this by myself, un. My mate has gone out hunting while the other servants are too busy doing their duties, un. And my mate wouldn't let me out of this room since I was so close to my birth." The mother smiled up gratefully at the human, not even a little bit surprised that it was a human that helped him. Word spread fast around here. "I'm Deidara, un."
Recognition dawned on the blond human as he realized that this snake was the one who showed him to his room two weeks ago after that little incident with Kiba and Sasuke. "Naruto. I remember you from before; you didn't look pregnant then."
"You weren't looking close enough to my belly then, un," Deidara said with a giggle.
Naruto smiled, but then frowned when he saw how dirty they both were and that the baby was still attached to the afterbirth. "Let me go get something to clean you and the baby." The human left in a hurry, forgetting how horrifying he must have looked and tried to remember his way back to the main palace to get some help.
He sighed in relief when he spotted Sasuke as he turned the corner of one of the many hallways. The snake heard him coming and turned to see who it was, but what he saw made his dark eyes widen in shock. Sasuke opened and closed his mouth when Naruto stopped just in front of him, catching his breath.
"What in Leviathan's name happened?" Sasuke finally cried out in worry, reaching for the human before Naruto stopped him by quickly answering back,
"Deidara just gave birth, he needs medical attention!" It was rushed and said between gasps, but Sasuke understood and quickly left to go get help, practically crawling on his human belly to make himself go faster. With that done, Naruto made his way back to Deidara, telling the blond snake on what he did.
They didn't have to wait long before Sasuke burst into the room with several female snakes following behind him with buckets of water, rags, and blankets. They quickly began cleaning the new mother and his baby, cutting the cord and quickly getting rid of the afterbirth. The baby snake whimpered as it was cleaned while Deidara winced in discomfort as his lower regions were washed, thankfully already healing. Naruto couldn't look away as he watched how alike these creatures and humans were when handling newborns.
Once cleaned, the mother was placed on a clean mat and wrapped in a thin covering, his baby, also bundled up in thin material, cradled to his chest, close to his slightly swollen nipple. Naruto's eyes widened when he saw the baby latch on and began suckling the milk out hungrily, Deidara grimacing at the feel. By this time, the female snakes were gone with the dirty rags, water, and mats, but Sasuke and Naruto stayed behind.
The blond made to open his mouth, but was interrupted when a redheaded, sidewinder slithered by him, wrapping himself around the blond creature, arms cradling Deidara close to him. "I am so sorry I wasn't here for you! I should have known!" the, obviously, father of the new babe cried out, tears running down his face.
"Shush my cute mate, I had plenty of help and you had duties to fulfill," Deidara whispered lovingly before kissing his mate's cheek. "Sasori, look at our baby; what should we call him?"
The redhead did look and cried tears of joy this time, running a finger down the babe's cheek, chuckling at the hungry noises it was making. "Let's call him Utakata like we had originally planned weeks ago."
Naruto smiled at the sight even thought he couldn't understand what was being said between the two and turned to leave, Sasuke following behind him; they both left unnoticed. The slow walk was awkward, whatever had been said before all this suddenly filling their minds. Naruto thought about trying to start a conversation, but every time he got the courage to open his mouth, one look at Sasuke had him shut his mouth again.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, when really it had only been twenty minutes, Sasuke suddenly grabbed Naruto's wrist and began to drag him outside towards the springs to clean up, practically shoving him in before the blond was even undressed before the raven haired creature left. Frowning at the rough treatment, the blond began to peel off his now wet clothes and scrubbed off the blood that had dried to his skin, feeling a little more refreshed. The warm pool began to turn a little pink before disappearing as it was spread throughout the water.
Cleaned and now hungry, Naruto began to get out of the pool before something soft and light was thrown at his face. He caught it before it fell into the water or the wet ground and looked to see Sasuke standing there with his back turned him to give the human some privacy, which was surprising since the black snake always tried to gain a peek of the blond's genitals. But he was grateful for it and began to pull on the rusty orange yukata that had a black silhouette of a dragon curled up on his back, the tail curving down his left side.
Tying his clothing closed with a crimson red obi, Naruto cleared his throat to let Sasuke know that he was done, not missing the pleased look on the snake's face. Nodding to himself at the choice of clothing he picked out, the snake began to make his way back home, not looking back to see if the blond was following him. And Naruto didn't follow him; something told him that Sasuke didn't want him to. Plus, Naruto needed to figure his feelings out for the creature.
The blond human scratched the back of his head, thinking on what he should do now. He knew he needed to straighten out his head, but he wasn't going to do that here in the bathing area. Deciding that the best place to be right now was in the palace in an empty room, Naruto made his way back to the large tree he now called home.
?
This is too confusing to think of by myself, Naruto finally thought several hours later. He knew he thought Sasuke was rather attractive for a snake thing and he knew he rather fancied him, but Naruto didn't think he could return Sasuke's feelings... or could he? "Arg! This is too confusing!" he yelled as he pulled at his hair in frustration.
"Is something wrong, Naruto?"
Naruto jumped from where he sat and looked over his shoulder to see that it was just Iruka. "No," he replied, but then that wasn't right now was it. "Well, actually yes; Sasuke confessed his love for me earlier today."
The brunette teacher didn't seem all that surprised. He smiled softly and let out a small sigh as he sat down in front of Naruto. "I was wondering when he'd finally find the courage to tell you." He chuckled when the blond's eyes widened.
"You knew?"
"Who doesn't know? It's not that hard to see that Sasuke is completely smitten by you." Iruka's grin widened as his ex-student blushed a deep red color. "And let me guess, you don't think you could return his feelings in the way he wants you to." He knew he hit a cord when Naruto looked away guiltily. "Why do you think that?"
Twiddling with his thumbs, Naruto looked down at his feet. "I've never been in love before..." The blush on his face deepened in embarrassment, waiting for the older man to start laughing at him. He was surprised when he heard the other man make a questioning noise instead.
"Never been in love? Not even with your friend Kiba? I thought you two were rather close."
"We are close; once close enough to become fuck buddies." Now it was Iruka's turn to blush. "But I changed that not too long ago when I noticed Kiba was falling in love with me, but I don't think of him in that way."
"Oh..." The brunette gulped before clearing his throat, still blushing. "Well what about Sasuke? You think he's attractive, right?" Naruto nodded. "What makes him attractive?"
The blond's mouth thinned and his eyes narrowed in thought as he wondered what was it about that snake creature that made him so attractive. Well he had a rather handsome face and a toned human body; the snake half just made him more exotic. But... that smile always had the blond blushing as his heart hammered in his chest. He even liked the sarcastic side of Sasuke. And those eyes, such a ruby, blood red. If he didn't know better, he would think that Sasuke and Itachi were brothers. It actually would make sense...
Iruka watched as an adoring look came across Naruto's face and the teacher knew right then that his ex-student liked this snake boy more than he knew. He let the blond think for a few more minutes until a blush formed over his cheeks as dirty thoughts most likely were swarming his mind right now. "Naruto, I think this Sasuke means more to you than you think."
Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and gave the other a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"You'll figure it out here soon enough." With one last smile, Iruka stood up and left.
?
Kiba lay there panting, mouth open slightly in wonderment from what he had just done with the creature beside him, his brown hair wet with sweat and disheveled. Sai snuggled up close with a genuine smile, wrapping an arm across the brunette's stomach with the end of his tail wrapped around Kiba's ankle. Snapping out of his surprise, Kiba let out a long sigh and ran a hand through his hair, wondering what he should do now.
"After that, I'm definitely not letting you go," Sai breathed out, his hair a wild mess.
Kiba sat up at this and glared down at the creature. "Ya said ya'd leave me alone after this!"
"I lied," Sai replied with a fake grin. "How else was I supposed to get you to sleep with me?" He sat up as well and kissed the corner of the human's mouth, licking his cheek as he moved away. "Well, I must go and continue my duties. Until next time." Sai winked at the man as he left, leaving a flabbergasted Kiba behind.
The brunette blinked several times, mouth opening and closing as he tried to come up with something to say back before he realized he missed his chance. He let out a breath of aggravation as he slumped back onto the floor, wishing he had never agreed to have sex with that snake... though it was fantastic hearing that creature scream his name and move against him that no other human could do. And the way that cute face scrunched up in pleasure.
Kiba shook his head, blushing at the image that had began to manifest in his mind. There was nothing he could do now and maybe another round with that snake wouldn't hurt.
?
I hope Naruto's going to be ok? Iruka thought to himself as he walked into his room, seeing Kakashi laying on his side, resting on an elbow with a book in his hand. The brunette couldn't tell what the other was reading since nothing showed on the front on the leather bound book or on its side. He smiled gently when the silver haired man look up and grinned as a greeting.
"Where have you been?" Kakashi asked as marked his place before closing the book. "After Kiba left, you suddenly disappeared."
The younger man shrugged. "I wanted to check out the shack and see if there were anymore tea leaves left." He reached into the small bag tied around his belt and pulled out three leaves. "I think Neji will be rather happy." He set them down on the low table where Neji would find them and sat down in front of Kakashi. "I also ran into Naruto; Sasuke finally confessed."
"Aaah, I bet our little blond is tearing his hair out in confusion on what he should do." The captain chuckled, but then suddenly frowned. "I'm worried."
Iruka lifted an eyebrow. "Why?"
"I don't know, I just am." Kakashi sat up, stretching out his stiff muscles. "Want to go to the springs?" he suddenly asked, surprising the brunette.
"What? Why?"
The older man shrugged. "Just a way to relax." He watched the teacher blush a light red as brown eyes gazed down to his chest and back up, most likely thinking about seeing the silver man naked for the first time. "And maybe we could do more..." he leered as he edged closer to Iruka.
"Relaxing is just fine!" Iruka yelled as he stood up, quickly running away to the springs with Kakashi following at a much slower pace.
At the springs, the brunette was already naked and in the water by the time Kakashi found him again. Iruka chose a small spring farther away from the others so he and the silver haired captain could have their privacy from the other snakes that were bathing. Smirking, Kakashi began to undress, not at all embarrassed about showing his body to the other in the hot pool. He almost laughed when he saw Iruka looking away with a blush after he had pulled off his trousers and underwear.
He slid into the water across from Iruka and sighed in relief as the heat began on loosening his muscles. Silence reigned over them as the brunette tried to keep himself occupied as he looked at nothing in particular while Kakashi enjoyed his time watching the younger man. He was so cute with his hair finally out of its string so it could cascade over his neck and touch his shoulders, a few strands sticking to his cheeks and forehead. The scare over the bridge of his nose was rather appealing as well.
The teacher may not be muscular like himself, but Kakashi could see some muscle beneath that delicious tanned skin. Now he was wondering what Iruka tasted like and found himself thinking about the man in a rather crude way. Before he knew it, he had slid himself around the pool until he was sitting next to Iruka, who was looking at him with a blush. Kakashi made to kiss him, but Iruka was already standing up and getting out of the spring, saying 'I'll see you inside!'
Rats, there goes his chance to woo the little scarred man. He'll just have to wait until next time won't he?
?
By the time dinner rolled around, Iruka found himself eating alone. He couldn't stop blushing after what Kakashi was trying to do, but he didn't want to sleep with someone just to get rid of some tension. Though he did like all the attention the silver haired man was giving, it made him feel wanted after being alone for so long. The only other time he felt wanted was when he was tutoring Naruto all those years ago.
Speaking of which, here's the blond now.
Naruto walked in, looking rather tired, most likely from all the thinking he did today. Without saying a word, Iruka offered him some of the food that was brought to him from some of the servants and some juice. The young man took it with a grateful smile and ate slowly, most likely still thinking. Just then, Kiba walked in with Neji following.
Neji noticed the tea leaves and closed his eyes as he sighed in happiness, picking up the three leaves and putting them over by his bedding in his bag. He nodded his thanks to Iruka and began making his own plate of food, choosing to stay away from the meat for today. Kiba was chowing down greedily, his face still scrunched up a little in anger from earlier today.
Other than that, silence fell over them except for the occasional munch and slurp.
Kakashi finally made himself known after everyone was finished. Iruka blushed and looked away, trying to get a conversation going with Naruto, which only proved to help for a little bit until the blond left to go speak with Sasuke. Neji was no good since he had already settled down into his bedding, reading a book, while Kiba left saying he was going to the springs to let off some steam.
Instead of opening his mouth to speak about what happened earlier today, Kakashi quickly leaned over to give Iruka's neck a quick kiss before moving back towards the table so he could eat himself. The brunette blushed deeply, eyes wide, and mouth opening like a fish in astonishment. Instead of saying something back, Iruka huffed and stood up, leaving the room in a hurry.
Kakashi smirked to himself as he watched the other leave.
Once again, sorry that this took so fucking long. It's hard to juggle between this and a job. I've been forcing myself to keep typing, but then I get writer's block I get bored after a few sentences and stop. But slowly and surly, I finished the chapter. Review please, they always help boost my energy to write the next chapter.
