AN: First off, I'd like to thank KakashiLvr, who inspired me...THANK YOU ICEHEART19!!!! I read the doujinshi you suggested...it was so cute but so sad at the same time!!! Also, I have no clue if there is an ocean near Konoha, but let's all use our imagination and say it's right next to that big cliff with the faces of the Hokage carved into it. Ok? (The actual taking care of Iruka is in this part, for whoever was wondering...) I AM ON A ROLL!! Go me!! Go me!! Thank you everyone for the lovely reviews!! I love you all!!!!!!!

Dolphins Are Supposed To Swim

Chapter. 4

"Wha ares yu doin'?" Iruka asked groggily from the bed. He was shivering more now, and he looked like a huge marshmallow, he was so wrapped up in the covers. [AN: SO CUTE!!!!!!] Kakashi meanwhile (after making himself an icepack for his throbbing head), was busy digging in his dresser, throwing things randomly behind him. He looked up, eye curving happily.

"I'm looking for a hair dryer." He said, searching again. Iruka just dazedly stared him. Well, more dazedly than he already was.

"Wha fore?" Iruka was too weak to dodge the flying t-shirt, so he just let it fall on his head, watching as it fell to the floor. Pretty colors...He thought, grinning childishly.

"So I can dry your clothes." Kakashi replied, answer muffled since he had stuck his head inside the drawer. He stood up again, putting one hand on his hip and another on his head, scratching it thoughtfully.

"Damn! Ta think that he doesn't need one..." He mumbled to himself, glancing over at Iruka. His eyes (eye) widened comically, as he laid eyes on a tangled Iruka, who was struggling to get his t-shirt off, flak jacket already lying forgotten on the floor. He raced over, pulling the shirt down.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??!!"

Iruka whimpered at the loud voice yelling in his ear, and blinked rapidly in an attempt to stay awake. Kakashi froze. Iruka...panting...bed...whimpering...red...cute...He was torn between the different ideas of hugging and/or fucking the sick Iruka senseless, who just looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"Tha's wha yu said ta do...righ'?" Kakashi blinked. He was suddenly given the very arousing mental picture of Iruka, panting and flushed, naked on his bed. He felt himself grow hard. Shit, shit, shit!!!! He thought, but he took one look at Iruka and he knew that he needed to get his damp clothes off before he got any worse. He sighed, and helped Iruka take off his t- shirt.

Iruka's skin was a nice caramel color, with scars littering his torso here and there. He obviously worked out, but his body still stayed lithe and feminine looking compared to the other shinobi in the village. That and the scar that crossed the bridge of his nose, coupled with the way he kept his hair up in a bushy ponytail, gave him an all in all adorable yet exotic outlook. Yes, Iruka was quite a sight with his shirt off.

Thank Kami I have this mask on...I don't want to get drool on Iruka's bed sheets...Kakashi thought as he stared at the inviting sight before him. In some alternate universe he would pounce on the chuunin, declare his undying love (insert dramatic pose here), and the both of them would have crazy, hot, animalistic sex all night long. And while I'm dreaming I'd like a pony...and more {Calvin & Hobbes books... Kakashi thought sadly to himself. He was brought back to reality when Iruka swayed dangerously.

"I...don't fel...so goOoood..." he muttered, before collapsing into Kakashi's arms. Kakashi was sincerely freaked. Not to mention he was painfully aroused. A sick, flushed, half-naked, unconscious Iruka was in his arms. He could just feel the hormones buzzing. He looked around the room, and spotted the medicine bottle he had placed on the night table before looking for the hairdryer. [AN: sweat drop]

He reached over, leaning as far as possible without the unconscious dolphin in his arms falling over. The tips of his outstretched fingertips were less than a few centimeters away, when Iruka just happened to decide to snuggle into Kakashi's chest. Uh oh...

THUMP

In a bundle of bedclothes Kakashi tumbled over rather painfully on the floor...with a softly snoring Iruka sprawled on top of him. He sweat dropped. Well...this is...compromising...He froze when he felt Iruka snuggle into his chest some more, clutching at his shirt.

"Mmmgf...Kakashi...don't leave the...mumble...kids alone...not responsible..." Iruka continued to babble incoherently, nuzzling his head into his chest. Kakashi's eyes softened at the adorable sight. It's funny...how even asleep, Iruka looks so cute...Kakashi couldn't help it. He leaned in, kissing Iruka's cheek tenderly. His skin's so soft...He thought, gazing into Iruka's passive face, and stroking the spot where he kissed him gently. Iruka shivered again, but leaned into the touch. Kakashi sighed, reaching out for the medicine bottle again, stopping in mid-air as Iruka started mumbling.

"Love you...Kakashi..." He blinked and blushing furiously, looked down. Iruka was still asleep, face buried just below his collarbone. What the--? Kakashi stared in wonder as Iruka continued mumbling things that he couldn't make out. He was suddenly reminded that the dolphin was sick when he clutched his shirt tighter, shivering violently. Kakashi blindly reached for the bottle, opening it and pouring the contents into his hands clumsily. He grabbed two of the pills, and shook Iruka gently. He sighed. He's probably just delirious...BUT, OH PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! He thought, crossing his fingers to himself as he continued to shake Iruka awake.

"Iruka, Iruka wake up...you have to take this..." Kakashi whispered quietly to the half-awake dolphin. Iruka blinked, and took the medicine shakily without water. When he swallowed, he buried his face into Kakashi's neck once again muttering something about psycho killer bananas. Kakashi stammered, and blushed as Iruka cuddled into him once more. He felt his breathe waft hotly over his neck like it had done before on his scalp. He couldn't help but shiver. Might as well take advantage of the situation while I can...Kakashi thought as he proceeded to wrap his arms around him, bringing Iruka closer. He placed delicate, soft kisses along his jaw line as Iruka shivered. Kakashi buried his face in Iruka's hair, breathing in. I wonder if he tastes as spicy as he smells...He thought, as Iruka leaned into his touch. He smiled through his mask, as Iruka's feverish-ness decreased. Guess the medicines finally taking its toll...

RING!

He looked up as he heard the ringing of the doorbell. Crap, crap, crap!! He thought as he looked down at the seemingly comfortable Iruka. He reached up and grabbed a pillow off of the bed, fluffing it up a little. [AN: I sense a double meaning!!] Carefully, he replaced himself with the pillow, smiling again as Iruka contentedly sighed. Meanwhile, the ringing had turned more constant and Kakashi was getting quite annoyed. He stalked over to the door (but not getting lost at least once, mind you) and opened it jerkily. A confused Naruto stood on the doorstep.

"Kakashi-sensei? What are you doing at Iruka-sensei's house?!"
