A.N. Now, one of you already guessed right about what was to come, but still ;)) No angst here, like I promised, only fluff beyond fluff, and some mature content, since I haven't given you much since their first time, huh? Well, here we go ;))

Chapter 11 - The most perfect day

Iruka could tell something was wrong with Kakashi. He was almost all the time "a bit carried away" and there was an evident frown in between his brows like he was planning something. That something most likely included Naruto, since both of them disappeared at the same time from Iruka's view. Iruka got worried – what if they were planning something against the Akatsuki again? Iruka couldn't stand the thought of Kakashi getting hurt, especially now of all times!

"It's nothing like that, Ruru. It's just that Naruto is leaving in a couple of days and there're a few lessons Jiraya sama wanted me to teach the brat.", was Kakashi's explanation, which Iruka had to deal with.

He was sure he once saw Kakashi having a highly conspiratorial talk with Kotetsu and Izumo – their heads were close and they were whispering. Iruka asked Kakashi about that that night and the Copy Nin denied. Iruka felt his heart sinking. Was Kakashi lying him already? Although he didn't show it, he felt small and vulnerable again.

Kakashi was frustrated. He was going crazy, that was it! He had to plan a… an event of this sort in two days! TWO DAYS!

"Just breathe, brat!", Tsunade couldn't hide the grin on her face. "Damn it , Hatake, in all those years I haven't seen your heartbeat being that quickened!"

"Hokage sama… just… give me those tranquilizers cause I really need to go…!"

"Relax, Kakashi, all that is Konoha is helping you right now!", she laughed. "Show me the ring."

The Copy Nin sighed and pulled a small box. He opened it and Tsunade gasped.

"You think he will like it? I.. didn't want the stone to be that big, cause he's always whining about being a man and a ninja no matter that he's carrying a child and…"

"It's beautiful, Kakashi. He will like it", she winked. "Show me the other."

Kakashi pulled another box, but just then a panting Shizune came through the door and said breathlessly: "Kakashi san… we… need you… by… the arc…"

"What happened?", Kakashi asked, his voice getting panicked again. Tsunade rolled her eyes.

"Kurenai san … and Anko san… are having an argument… about the decorations…"

"ANKO! No snakes! I said NO DAMNED SNAKES!", Kakashi jumped from the examining table next to Tsunade and was gone before she knew it.

Iruka walked through the streets, slightly confused. Not only were people smiling at him more than usual, but it seemed like every single person in Konoha was decorating the main city square. There were flowers everywhere – garlands, bouquets, petals in the fountain. "What the…", he thought.

"Kotetsu, Izumo, what's going on here?", he asked his friends when he spotted them in the crowd.

Both turned wide eyed to face him and Izumo immediately started stuttering: "I-i-it's nothing, Iruka! Just the Konoha's Independence day festival coming soon!"

"Konoha's Independence day festival? Why haven't I heard about such a thing? In all those years?", Iruka frowned, not believing a single word.

"It's new!", Kotetsu interjected. "A wonderful new tradition! Don't you like festivals, Iruka?"

"I do, but…"

"You should rest now, you mustn't strain yourself…", Kotetsu stated, pushing Iruka back towards the Hatake compound.

"But I just went out for a walk!", Iruka tried to protest, but was quickly silenced by Kotetsu's convinces to rest more.

Izumo sighed and walked away, in the opposite direction, towards Naruto's apartment. He was quickly there, knocking nervously on the door. It was Naruto himself who answered him and stepped back to let him in. "Is he here?", Izumo asked directly.

"Kind of", was the blond's response.

"Nerves again?", Izumo grinned.

"You askin' me or you know it already?", Naruto asked grimly. Izumo laughed.

"Where?", he just asked. Naruto motioned the closest door. Izumo knocked lightly. "Kakashi?" he asked. No answer. "We almost finished decorating the square. The flower arc is also ready…"

"There would only be any use of it if he says yes", came the muffled response through the door.

"Kakashiiii….of course he will say yes. Haven't you seen his eyes when he looks at you?", Izumo noted.

The door opened just a tiny bit. "You really think so?", came a quiet voice. Izumo couldn't believe that was the voice of the unbeatable Hatake no Sharingan Kakashi, the Copy Nin. He sighed, but smiled anyway.

"Yes, Kakashi. Now get your ass off that place and go get your formal kimono!"

"Ruru, are you ready yet?", Kakashi asked, nervously tapping his foot on the wooden floor. He had told his lover they were going to the so called "festival" tonight and was now waiting for his Iruka to get dressed in the bright green formal kimono he had purchased for him. Kakashi himself wore a simple dark blue kimono with a sky blue sash Iruka had bought him some time ago.

"I… think I'm ready.", Iruka mumbled, exiting their bedroom, eyes fixed shyly on the floor.

Kakashi's heart missed a few beats.

Iruka's hair was freed from his usual ponytail and was flowing freely on his shoulders. The green kimono fit him perfectly, showing the small bump on his belly, which Iruka tenderly stroked every now and then. The green kimono had silver petals, embroided by the edges of its sleeves and the edges by the feet and it went with a silver sash. All that was accompanied by Iruka's pink cheeks.

"Ru…Ruru, you look...", Kakashi gulped. "You look amazing."

Iruka smiled shyly, his cheeks even redder, then he came closer and took Kakashi's hand, still not meeting his gaze. "Shall we go then?", he asked quietly.

Kakashi only nodded.

They walked to the main square in silence, that was getting almost eerie for Iruka, knowing that Kakashi wasn't exactly the quiet type, especially not in his company. Kakashi seemed nervous and if he didn't know better Iruka would say he was fidgeting. He was about to ask if everything was ok with his loved one, but he suddenly realized they had reached the square and there was something not quite right with the place. It was night already and there were lanterns lit everywhere and some candles were floating in the fountain, next to sakura petals. Soft light and flowers were decorating the whole place, making it utterly beautiful and romantic. And certainly not festive. All the people were standing silent, except for a few giggles at his confused face and a few whispers.

"Kashi… what's going on here?... Ka…"

Iruka turned around and gasped loudly. Kakashi, maskless in front of all those people, was kneeling at his feet, holding a small box with a beautiful engagement ring in it. Iruka's eyes widened.

"Ruru…. I know this probably doesn't follow the usual order of things. I mean, I should have done this a long time ago, certainly before you told me you were going to make me the luckiest man on earth, carrying my child… But recently a few things happened to open my eyes… one of them is blond by the way…" – the public laughed and Iruka grinned too, shaking his head – "And I've come to realize that I want… I need… to be more than just the father of your child. Umino Iruka… would you do me the honor of becoming my husband?"

A deafening silence. And a sob.

"Yes…!", Iruka said with a thin, shaky voice, between sobs and tears of joy. The public was applauding, and screaming greetings and best wishes, but Kakashi and Iruka heard nothing of that, embracing each other and whispering loving words.

"I love you… I love you so much that it fucking hurts…."

"I love you too, Kashi… More than everything…"

"You're my everything. You're my life now."

"Kashi… Take me home, please…"

Kakashi almost flew towards their home.

The door was opened harshly, then shut abruptly. Clothes were being discarded quickly, feet stumbling in the darkness.

"Ouch!"

"Careful… stairs…"

"We should move the bedroom on the first floor…"

"Whatever you like…"

Kakashi lifted him bridal style and continued walking up the stairs. Iruka giggled.

"Training for the big day?"

Kakashi laughed.

"Well I might as well do. Since it's tomorrow…"

"WHAT! Kashi… you're kidding right! Please tell me you're not serious!"

"That's the last day our best man is in town.", Kakashi grinned.

"But-but… I don't have anything to wear…"

"Yes, you do. White kimono with a green sash?"

"But-but… the invitations…"

"Sent."

"The decorations…"

"Done."

"The… the whole ceremony…"

"Ruru… you only had to say yes.", Kakashi smiled widely. Iruka narrowed his eyes and smiled mischievously.

"You were scared if I would actually say that yes, right?"

"I was terrified!", Kakashi confessed and they both laughed.

While they were talking they had reached the bedroom. Kakashi stepped in and gently laid Iruka on their bed. He hovered above his lov… his fiancée, but hesitated. Iruka's shy look from earlier came into his mind and suddenly Tsunade's permission to have sex wasn't enough of assurance. Kakashi looked into his Iruka's eyes. And swallowed dryly. They were burning him with lust.

"Kashi… make love to me. Please…"

Iruka's last scream mingled with Kakashi's and they reached Heaven together. Kakashi fell over him, embracing him tightly, and Iruka did the same. "I love you", they both whispered, then laughed breathlessly. They remained like that for a while, then Kakashi stood, legs still shaking a bit, and went to the bathroom to retrieve a washcloth for his exhausted fiancée, who was still breathing hard and shaking with his orgasm. Kakashi smiled lovingly. He returned quickly, already clean himself and cleaned his loved one, then climbed back to him and took him in his arms, pulled a blanket over them both and embraced his Iruka with all his love.

"Hatake Iruka….", Kakashi murmured, enjoying the sound of it.

"Mmmm…?", came the sleepy reply.

Kakashi chuckled. "Already answering his new name", he said contently, then lowered his lips and kissed Iruka's ruffled hair. "Sleep, my love. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day…". Kakashi smiled again as they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
