Termophile57~ I had honestly totally forgot I had an account and a story after not looking at this for a few days and only came back because I had been reading other stories here. Plus I have had a lot of down time lately. Thank you so much for coming back! When I read your review I was like, "no way! They waited for me?" XD Thank you again
Nothing too extreme in this, next chapter though, hehe…
Iruka looked up at the Moon one last time wishing for luck for that night, he would need it. How am I going to do this? I think, hope, he will listen, he should, I mean he did agree to go out so…he should listen.
"Iruka! You made it!" Kakashi called out, he was at the park's entrance. When Iruka looked up at the man he was yet again in awe of the other man's beauty. Kakashi wore a red polo, which showed off his arms, and a pair of black slacks. He had the air about him that was laid back but with his cool expression he could easily be taken to a fancy party.
"Hey Kakashi, sorry I'm a couple minutes late, I uh, had a couple things I needed to do." Iruka said as he scratched his scar again, it was a nervous habit of his.
Kakashi chuckled and slung an arm across Iruka's shoulder, "its fine, I was running a tad late too so its no problem. If you don't mind I figured we could talk here? I know a great place that's a bit secluded enough for our talk." Kakashi began to walk into the park, gently dragging Iruka along with him. Iruka simply followed the lead he was given, against the will of his wolf.
They walked for several minutes through paths and animal trails Iruka wasn't even sure existed. He was trying to keep up with all the twists and turns they made but he couldn't, there were just too many. He didn't mind that much though, nor did he mind the fact they walked in absolute silence. Iruka was perfectly content with it all due to the simple fact that since the path started extremely narrow Kakashi had grabbed Iruka's hand and walked in front of him. With their fingers intertwined Iruka would follow Kakashi mostly anywhere because he knew Kakashi would be there with him.
Suddenly Kakashi stopped and Iruka looked away from their linked hands to see a beautiful field with a smooth creek. At that moment Iruka was positive he had never seen this place or else he would have brought Kakashi here himself. With the sun just beginning to set Iruka got to see the creek shine with the colors of the sky, the reds and pinks, and even from the distance he was at he knew it was a perfect reflection from up close. There was but one solemn tree in the middle of the tall grass. The Japanese weeping Pagoda, similar to the western Weeping Willow, stood with its twisted and warped trunk and branches lower to the ground than your average tree and its leaves creating great shade from any extreme heat. Wild flowers dotted the space with bright whites, blues, and pinks, it reminded Iruka of a place he would go in a dream.
Iruka turned back to Kakashi only to find the other man had been watching him. "So you like this place I take it?" Kakashi asked, a slight smile on his face.
"It's amazing Kakashi. How did you find it? Certainly you didn't know this existed for a while, I mean the paths we took are well used."
Kakashi looked back at the entrance to the woods and smiled bigger. "It's a family secret I guess. My mother told me about it when I was very young and knew nothing of the world. She said that it was a very big secret because if a lot of people found out, it would become overrun with people and they would destroy it. She made it quite clear I shouldn't tell many people." He answered, his eyes shined with memory.
"Well, thank you for making me one of the few to know about it," Iruka said, a blush spreading across his cheeks. "So I guess we have a lot of talking about, don't we?"
"Yes, yes we do Iruka. Let's sit by the stream though, the water should be fairly warm." Iruka nodded and they made their way through the knee height grass.
They sat on the sandy bank of the stream, Iruka looking at the water, his heart began to pound. "Where do you want me to start?" He asked as he slowly turned his gaze to the other man.
"The beginning, I suppose. When it all began," Kakashi replied, he made eye contact with Iruka, which made the brunette even more nervous.
With a gulp and a nod Iruka began. "When I turned thirteen I hit puberty, and with that first full moon I shifted. It hurt something awful. Imagine all your bones breaking and reassembling under your skin, your teeth growing at an exponential rate, and all your senses heightened to an extreme level. My parents had no clue what was going on, how to deal with it, and so they did the one thing they knew, they let fear control them. I won't give you all the gruesome details but just a short description, there was a cage, lots of yelling and curses, prayers said, and a belt. Over the years I got through it. When I moved out I learned how to control myself, I began to shift when I said so and got to go out when I was the wolf. I went to college, got my degree in teaching, landed me a job at the high school, adopted three girls, everything was going great." Iruka smiled and looked at the sky. "It was perfect until the night the hunter shot at you." Kakashi looked away from the other man then, his heart heavy with grief. "I didn't make it home that night, some people like me kidnapped me. Took me to a place I have no clue where. Silver still hurts us, burns us and can leave scars. I was in a cell for that whole time, Kakashi; bound to the floor with silver cuffs. The only things that kpt me sane were my girls, my job, and you."
"Me? Why me Iruka? I cursed you, like your parents. I yelled and screamed questions that night at you. Barely let you talk when you answered my questions." Kakashi interrupted. He looked back at Iruka and saw the kindest look in his eyes.
"You took me to your home, after I turned. You haven't told anyone about me. Kakashi, you have kept my secret, I know because there are Hunters out there, humans that train to kill the supernatural." Iruka made the move to grab and hold Kakashi's hand gently in his own. "Your silence speaks volumes to me. I thought about you every day I was imprisoned and even on the way back. You were the first person I ran to see today." Iruka stopped himself there, he knew he had begun to get ahead of himself and had to be quiet now, to let everything sink in.
They sat there on that bank in complete silence for a couple moments. Neither man looked at the other for too long, nor let go of the physical link that attached them. Iruka wasn't sure what to do next, this situation was foreign to him in every way. He wasn't sure the silence was good or bad, if Kakashi truly understood what he had said, or if he had bombarded the white headed man with too much. Iruka's only reassurance was that Kakashi hadn't pulled his hand away.
Kakashi looked at Iruka and scooted closer, "I'm really sorry I was a jerk to you, you didn't deserve that. I want to make it up to you, however I can." Kakashi pulled Iruka's hand up and kissed it on the top.
Iruka simply smiled and gripped the other man's hand tighter. "You being here and listening is enough, Kakashi."
"I have but one request of you, Iruka. The cuffs you spoke about, can I see where they were?" Kakashi asked, his eyes showed the slightest hint of sympathy. Iruka nodded and gently pulled his hand away. Ignoring the slightly hurt look on Kakashi's face, Iruka pulled his sleeves on his shirt up. The red burn-like marks on his wrists were there, but the slight stinging gone. Kakashi's eyes widened slightly, he hadn't been expecting such bright red imprint on tan skin.
Iruka was surprised when Kakashi kissed his wrists, pleasantly though. A shiver ran up and down his spine, the kind that made his mind wonder to the dark side. Gently Iruka caressed Kakashi's cheek in his hand and pulled they faces closer. With only centimeters separating them, Kakashi was the one to close the gap. This kiss, unlike the one from that fateful night, was calm and tender. It made Iruka's heart skip a couple of beats and want to freeze time. This wasn't the kiss Iruka had imagined in his spare time, the hot and needy kind, this was what a kiss should be, patient and sweet. It made his wait worth every day, every hour, every minute, and every second.
There was no rush in the kiss, no biting or nipping at lips, no panicked tearing off clothes. When the men pulled away they weren't panting heavily, nor were they drastically in need of a bed. They were both smiling, Kakashi more so with his eyes, and relieved that it had happened the way it had. Iruka started to pull his hand away from the other's face, not wanting the Kakashi to feel pressured, but was stopped by when Kakashi held Iruka's hand against his cheek and leaned into it.
Iruka smiled bigger and leaned in again, this time he caught Kakashi slightly off guard and earned himself a gasp. Iruka couldn't pass this opportunity up and, as gently as he could in his excited state, placed his tongue into Kakashi's mouth. He caressed Kakashi's tongue with his own, tempting the man to play and deepen the kiss. Kakashi gathered the hint quickly and soon they entered a battle of tongue. Iruka scooted closer to Kakashi and pulled the other man onto his lap quickly. He placed his hands on the small hips of the older man and continued the kiss. Iruka didn't honestly want to rush anything, but he had waited so long for this moment to happen, and now that it had he wanted more.
Kakashi was surprised by his co-worker's boldness, he had never thought Iruka would be the one to take charge but he supposed the wolf had something to do with it too. Just to mess with the man, Kakashi grinded his hips into the man below him, earning a groan to escape their connected lips, he smirked in the kiss and pulled back. "You seem excited, Iruka." Kakashi joked, a chuckle escaped his pale lips.
Iruka barely heard the comment with his blood rushing in his ears. The poor man didn't realize just how badly he had wanted this night, his body screaming arousal. He could smell it coming off of Kakashi, it wasn't overwhelming but it was certainly there and Iruka wanted more. He nuzzled Kakashi's neck, sniffing, kissing, and biting at the skin, anything he could think of to do to stir Kakashi up more. What he was doing was working though, Kakashi made small grunts and moans, but it also made a bulge grow against Iruka's stomach. Iruka wasn't sure Kakashi knew he was getting this excited so Iruka did his best to move under the man, to show his own condition. This only made Kakashi moan and grind his hips; he wanted more friction, more heat, and more skin.
Iruka pulled back from the other man's neck and looked up into Kakashi's eyes. "Now would be the time to stop, because if we don't now, I won't be able to in the near future." Iruka said, laying Kakashi's choices in front of him.
Without missing a beat Kakashi connected their lips and held Iruka's head in place with one hand, the other sliding between their bodies to Iruka's shirt buttons. After a few moments of the bruising kiss and buttons being either broken off or undone Kakashi pulled back, his body on fire and length completely hard, "If I wanted to stop, I wouldn't be here Iruka. Now I'm sure your inner wolf wouldn't let me fuck you, so you need to do the honors because I'm not going home just yet, or I'm not going home alone."
His eyes completely serious and sober, Iruka just smiled an evil looking smile and growled lowly in his throat. "Kakashi, you may not want to go home with me, because I may just break your bed." His voice husky and deeper, Iruka had never been this excited, this bold, and he just couldn't wait to show Kakashi just what he did to the small and shy Iruka.
