A/N - Exams! Are. Over! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Until March... -_- I always manage to burst my own bubble, oh well! To celebrate the end of the first series of my dreaded science exams, I wrote a chapter for you guys so you could share my joy! (And also because I have far too much spare time again now!) So you can expect a couple more chapters a week! Unless I have homework of course! Sooo, welcome to chapter 26! The morning after the night before which so happens to be Christmas! Enjoy my pretties! ^_^

Disclaimer - I do not own any form of Naruto or the pairing Kakashi x Iruka (however, the person who did invent it is a bloody genius!)

This is A/N

This is rather exaggerated words and dreams/thoughts etc

This is normal story.

Be warned, I'm English, we like to swear and drink tea (there will be a lot of references to coffee in this fan fiction) -_-

...

Merry Christmas, Everyone -

"A little bit of fun?" I remember him saying, as he pulled away from my body, smirking. "Is that what this is to you?"

I'd nodded, eyes closed. What was this sensation? I'd never felt it with any girl before. Maybe it was the fact that this was man on man action. Maybe that's why it had felt so... Masculine and rough.

The bed had rocked under our weight as I bent over and received something far better then that of my dreams.

As Kakashi penetrated over and over again, I couldn't help but think: 'What the hell, I've been good till now'. Because what we'd been doing had truly felt bad, but not wrong. Like we were the two bad boys of our class getting it on when all the teachers had left. What a sexy thought, I had imagined, trying to think of the bed as a polished desk and the bed covers as sheets of paper crumpling under my fists.

"I'm gonna cum", Kakashi whispered, trying to preserve himself for a second longer.

I'd braced myself, and the orgasm was beautifully loud.

...

'All my life, I've been good, but now, oh baby I'm thinking what, the hell?'

I slammed the alarm to make it shush. Moaning, I turned over, allowing the warmth of a body next to me make all the receptors in my brain react. There's a man. In your bed, Iruka. Get him out.

Jumping, I swung back the covers to reveal a very naked but wonderfully warm Kakashi lying on his stomach, one eye staring up at me.

"Something wrong, Iruka?" He sat up, the bed covers threatening to reveal more then they probably should. "What are you panicking about?"

"Y-You", I stuttered. "What the hell are you doing in my bed?"

Kakashi breathed a laugh into his hand. "We did stuff last night, don't you remember?"

I vaguely did. If you called the crumpling of paper and a polished desk remembering. Wait, that wasn't part of what actually happened. Oh man, I could only remember what I'd imagined.

"Of course if you want me to leave-" Kakashi got up, his back to me, the start of his strangely attractive bum crack in view.

"-No!" I jumped forwards, gripping onto his strong arm. "I don't want you to leave". What's he going to do Iruka? He can't exactly stay here forever. He has no clothes, no toothbrush, no gel, no nothing. Although, now you think about it Iruka, his hair hadn't felt like he used gel. And this morning it looks exactly the same as last night.

"I'll have to go at some point", Kakashi sighed, slipping his trousers over a very small waist.

"I know". What day was it today? I pondered.

"Merry Christmas Iruka", Kakashi said, nodding at my calendar. "Doing anything special?"

I shook my head. "I don't really do much for Christmas.

"Good". Kakashi said it with such sincerity that I didn't really know how to perceive it.

"Cause I've got nobody to spend it with this year".

Oh, Faith. Christmas had touched a button on Kakashi's brain. Well done Santa, now see where your fat red belly's got us?

"What are you proposing?" I picked up some fresh clothes from a chair, realising that I too, was naked. How Kakashi had managed to keep a straight face at my well... thing was beyond me.

"That you come back to mine and we have a good time". The man smiled at me as I pulled on a loose t shirt. "Robes, slippers, presents and all".

Well Kakashi dearest...

"How could I refuse?"

...

I hadn't actually gotten Kakashi anything for Christmas, but I could give him something belated... If it still counted.

His house was warm and welcoming, despite it being empty for the night. Normally you could tell if a bed or a room hadn't been stepped in, but in this place, you couldn't.

To the right of Kakashi's living space was a small memorial for Faith. As he passed it, Kakashi glanced at a single portrait picture and sighed. "Miss you", he whispered, planting an index finger over her cheek.

Instead of carrying on his mourning, the man turned to me and ran a hand through his hair. "Right", he said. "Let's get the dogs in".

...

"Rex, down!" I scolded, laughing as the bulldog thanked me for a bone I hadn't actually brought him.

Kakashi chuckled to himself, the other seven dogs surrounding his lap on the floor, a mass of shredded wrapping paper at his feet. Each chewed their dry hide happily, leaving slobber patches where the food was obviously too good for any human to miss.

"Urm, Iruka". Kakashi reached behind him, underneath the sofa. "I actually got you something".

Blushing, I reached forward for the small box wrapped in bright paper and a ribbon. "You really didn't have too".

"Of course I did!" Kakashi scolded, jumping forwards defensively. "Your my friend!"

I flinched. "But I didn't get you anything..."

"Bah, don't worry about it 'Ruka".

I cocked my head and smiled at the new nickname he'd accustomed to me.

"Well, go on, open it!"

I held my hands up in surrender, showing I was taking my time before tucking into the delicate wrapping. I peeled one edge off first, and then another. The box was taking shape and colour. A deep green shone back at me, with a small, golden catchment that kept it closed. I undid it, revealing the silver bracelet inside.

"Kakashi", I breathed, marvelling at it's beauty and most probably how much it had cost him.

"Just a little present to say thanks", he smiled.

"Will you help me put it on?" I asked, having already attempted and failed. "What, right now?" The man seemed surprised.

"Of course!" I mimicked. "I always put things on as soon as I get them".

"Even if they can't be worn?" Kakashi smirked, shuffling closer to do the same golden catchment up that was on the box. "Silver suits you".

"Thanks". I held the bracelet to the light. One of the dogs sniffed it, detesting the stench of new metal before sitting at the foot of Kakashi's figure, wagging it's tail.

"Alright", Kakashi laughed as the others joined it. "We'll have our yearly walk into town".

"Town?" I asked.

"Yeah, town, centre of Konoha... We work there?"

"Oh, right". But it wasn't the location that bothered me.

It was the people. What if they guessed I'd had sex with Kakashi last night? What if they could tell by the look in my eyes, my posture? What if the rumours started to spread?

A/N - Right, well, I apologise for it not being as exciting as the chapters before it, but, that's life sometimes! Anyway, I have a wonderfully strange and unexpected twist for next chapter, so, stay tuned! =D Ahh, Kakashi's past excites me! (not like that dirty readers -_-) It's very interesting and you can add bits here and there! Ahh, well, until next chapter then my dearest readers, Chao for now! (Reviews very much appreciated and thanks so so much to all those who have already reviewed! ^_^) xxx
