Staring at the silver haired man who was still lost in his own thoughts, Sakura's concerned green eyes went back to watching as she was doing her job. She was currently finishing up with the decorations that were hanging from the ceiling, always briefly looking back at her boss to check if he had snapped out of his train of thought. Chewing on his now bruised lip, Kakashi closed his eyes and heaved a sigh, slowly turning around to stack up the glasses again. He had done this about three times since Anko and Gai's visit. Repeating the process like a robot that had malfunctioned.
"I'm happy, yes...of course I'm happy why wouldn't I be? Naruto's grown into an interesting kid and Iruka is happy with teaching. I'm happy with this...Right?...No, no I don't need to question myself, but...am I really happy or am I just satisfied with the fact that Iruka is happy?...No...Did that make sense? No...Yes? No...No...Urgh shut up! I've had enough! I don't want to think about this now."Kakashi bantered within his mind, arguing with no one but himself. His mind screaming in irritation of wanting to forget the brain aching debate and just get back to focusing on the busy night ahead. That obviously becoming more challenging from his constant questions within his head, his real feelings towards his everyday life now trying to be sorted out. The possible denial being realised and could prove fatal towards his family.
"Urgh..." he grumbled under his breath, slowly reopening his eyes to stare at the transparent, shiny glass he had in his hand, his orbs inspecting the awesome glisten that reflected back into his mismatched eyes. "...I'm a bad man" Kakashi muttered. The man's grumbles being heard by his pink haired hostess, although she couldn't pick up what he exactly said, it still caused the current frown of concern to deepen on her brow.
"Kakashi? Are you okay?" She finally asked, stepping down the ladder and strolling up to him, analysing emerald orbs checking out the others expression. Blinking as he heard the woman question, Kakashi glanced at her and nodded.
"Why...Yes, of course, why not?" He muttered, frowning slightly as he looked down at the girl, who in question frowned a little and nodded slowly.
"Ah. Just checking." she smiled, turning around and getting back to work, not believing a word Kakashi spat in an attempt to extinguish her worry.

Naruto yawned as he sat on the sofa next to Kiba, both watching a cartoon of some army men fighting off some giant blob, the blob being a lime green with a chubby penis dangling in between its legs.
"What the fuck are we watching?" Kiba muttered, looking at the television with uninterested eyes, lazily lounging on the sofa sloppily. Naruto looking the same but managing to tilt his head towards Kiba to shrug.
"No idea...that is it's penis right?" He asked, blue eyes whipping to look at the show, the army men screaming as the blob pushed up into the air and came flying towards them, the dangling limp member swinging about. Frowning, Kiba's eyes narrowed.
"Oh...Oh...I thought that was a bit of...it's...stuff. You know...like...The stuff?" The dog lover replied; both boys having been laid back and quiet since their making up in the kitchen. Although they had said it's cool and made a joke about it. They knew it was harder than that. They had sex. And even worse, Kiba was starting to feel more for his dumbstruck blond haired friend. Alright, so there was always a real soft spot for the cheeky sun kissed teen, but the more he thought of their awkward encounter in the bedroom the more his heart would beat. Heaving a short sigh, Kiba slyly looked at Naruto, who was staring back at him.
"What stuff?" The blond muttered, confused by what the other had said, his cheeks blushing slightly as he watched how Kiba's gaze would seem different. The others eyes filled with a little more emotion. Redirecting his gaze back to the television, Naruto mentally slapped himself. "I'm over thinking. We're cool...Right? I...Maybe I'm hoping to see more emotion?...Wait why would I? Damnit I knew fucking men was bad."He thought while chewing on his lip. "Ahah nah! That's definitely a penis." he laughed nervously, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead as he suddenly felt flustered.
Having noticed the others blush, Kiba smiled a little as he went back to staring at the television.
"Oh yeah. I see it now." he whispered softly, his hand cunningly moving closer to the tanned blonds, slowly grasping it and rubbing Naruto's knuckles with his thumb. Swallowing thickly as his hand was held, Naruto's cheeks started to burn more. It seemed their friendship may have taken onto the next level, but was it the right choice? Sighing as the questions bubbled up within his mind, Naruto glanced at Kiba once more. What the hell...He was young, and Kiba was a good friend.
"Wanna stay for dinner tonight?" Naruto asked, slowly holding Kiba's hand back, the brown haired boy looking at his old friend with a warm smile.
"That would be nice." he chuckled, leaning forward, having taken Naruto's hand holding, as a signal that they could go further in their relationship. Heart racing as he noticed Kiba move in Naruto closed his eyes, slowly pressing his lips against his old friends. Yep. Things have definitely changed, this small kissed seemed like a big thing to both of them.

Walking past the living room door, Iruka blinked as he noticed Kiba and Naruto kissing gently, his eye brow raising and a small smile touching his lips as he watched the teens share a loving peck, his warmth slowly curdling into worry and pain as a certain person flashed into his mind.
"Sasuke." Iruka barely whispered, a small frown digging at his brow as he made his way back into the kitchen.
"Teenage relationships aren't all that stable. But if Naruto is with Kiba now Sasuke would only sink lower right? Most Uchiha's are selfish and when they want something they'd kill to get it."A small snarl sounding from his lips, Iruka narrowed his eyes, after working for them he knew all too well how an Uchiha would react. And he wasn't going to allow his precious knuckle headed son be pulled into such a life style. He would do what it takes but he wasn't sure he could return to the life style himself.
"Che...Uchiha's mess everything up." he grumbled, rubbing his face with his hands and leaning against the kitchen counter, staring out of the window. "I better start training again. If I have some ass to kick then I should be in great form to protect my new life and my family." Iruka thought. "I better get to cooking..." He reminded himself as he walked towards a cupboard pulling out a frying pan to cook the boys their early dinner before they had to go off to the bar.

A long irritated groan left Sasuke's lips as he walked out of a private building. There was a meeting called about the lack of input Sasuke had been giving since the past week. The higher ups of the Uchiha group were reminding the young one that if he was truly dedicated to his family, he better remove what is distracting him before they look into it and do so themselves.
"Che...Stupid old bastards." the raven ground out, walking towards his car that had been waiting there for the whole hour that had past and getting into the back seat. "Take me home. I have things to do." he hissed, glaring out the window as Neji's words came flooding back into his mind. It seemed that the truth of the clansmen pressuring him to remove an obstacle that gets in his way of work had started to begin. "...Tonight I'll have to make my move...Make Naruto mine by tonight or no one can have him." he whispered softly, onyx eyes hardening at the thought of his last threat. His driver glancing into the mirror to see Sasuke's reflection, his eyes filled with concern about the odd behaviour his master was doing.

Dinner had been a little awkward and quiet, firstly because the moment Kakashi returned to eat, he was very reserved and distant in his thoughts this distressing the cute little scarred dolphin every time he looked at his partner. So when conversation was brought up, it slowly died down as the infection of silence corrupted it.
"So...Busy night tonight, huh Kakashi?" Iruka mumbled, eating his noodles with his chopsticks, trying not to slurp messily like Naruto did, the soup flying everywhere when the blond went to make a move on the noodles, poor Kiba having to be hit with the impact every single time. Blinking, Kakashi nodded.
"Yes...Yes it is." He whispered, looking around the table and glancing at Kiba and Naruto with a curious lift of an eyebrow. "You coming to the bar tonight Ruka?" He asked, his mismatched eyes moving back to his loved one, who was boring holes into his head. This odd expression causing the silver haired man to flinch. Both men seeming to speak with their eyes. Iruka starting with,
'Oh, what are you hiding your moron? It's so obvious you're thinking about something important! If you think you can hide something from me! You are gravely mistaken Kakashi Hatake!' Brow twitching, Kakashi glanced back over at his son, who was laughing at the soup that had landed in Kiba's eye by mistake, safe that his and Iruka's eye contact won't be seen as suspicious, Kakashi chewed on his bottom lip before returning his gaze back to his mate.
'If you come to the bar tonight I'll tell you...Or we can talk about it before we go to sleep tonight.' Puffing out his cheeks, Iruka went back to eating, not caring the soup went flying into Kakashi's eyes, he was purposely slurping away, hoping to aim any of the spit fire at his lover.
"I can't come to the bar tonight. I have papers to grade." Iruka finally replied after their miniature visual conversation to which Kakashi nodded curtly and continued eating, closing his eyes as he could feel the soup spray all over him.

Naruto eyed Kakashi carefully once they reached the bar, the place filled with hand cuffs hanging from the ceiling and blow up dolls perched on the seats that were reserved for the bachelor party, Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Nice?" He chuckled, his azure eyes glancing back at Kakashi to see if he would make a common witty comment, but none sounded from the man's mouth, instead he sighed and walked into the back rooms to change into his uniform, the blond following and undressing along with his father. "What's wrong? You're being too...serious." Naruto grumbled as he started putting one of his slender tanned arms into the sleeve of his white shirt. Glancing at Naruto, Kakashi pulled down his mask and smiled softly, pressing his lips against his sons head.
"It's ...Bedroom problems." He sighed, his eyes watching as Naruto paled and looked uncomfortable.
"O-Oh yeah?" Naruto stuttered, doing up his buttons and swallowing thickly. This wasn't something he'd want to hear, but if Kakashi was in such a ditch about it then he'd have to be a man and stick beside his dad. Blinking Kakashi watched as Naruto swallowed the discomfort and tried to be attentive, being a good son, this causing the man to just stand and stare at the slightly shorter blond.
"I've been so foolish...Look at my son. The boy I helped raise with Iruka. He cares so much that he'd even listen to me go on about my nonexistent troubled sex life. Firstly why would I have trouble in the bed? Even so he's...He's grown into such...a pure boy."Feeling slightly fidgety under Kakashi's gaze, Naruto frowned and looked around a little. "Uh..." He grumbled, scratching his cheek and looking to the floor. "I'm sure...It'll pass...I mean...You and dad...You're meant to be you know? Try some...Different things if...things...dry up." he muttered, voice shaking as the sun kissed teen tried to get rid of the images that were floating around in his mind. Chuckling softly and settling a pale hand in those wild sun locks, Kakashi beamed a loving smile.
"Yeah...You're right kid...Thanks." He said softly, pulling his child into his arms in a manly embrace. Remembering the times of when Naruto could be lifted and snuggled. When his scarred cheeks would be constantly rosy and his hair would look more like a birds nest. Iruka screaming when the comb broke during brushing said boy's hair and then Naruto's eyes leaking as he was pinned to the floor for a haircut. Chuckling happily Kakashi tightened his embrace around the confused Naruto. "Thank you for coming into our lives Naruto." he whispered, the blond's blue eyes widening slightly as he heard his father speak, returning the hug with a smile.
"Thanks for choosing me." Naruto replied, patting Kakashi's back and moving to put on the rest of his uniform, the pale man nodding and doing the same, his mind clear of thought and a constant smile placed on his now masked lips. "I should call Ruka and apologise...I should buy some chocolate and flowers tonight on my way home. Remember not to be late Kakashi."
