Ch. 2 ^.^ All I'm doing with this is just writing it off the top of my head... It seems to be going well. I dunno if it will be an Iruka/Lee, but Lee seems to at least want to be a very good friend... O.o I don't ask how my tortured little mind works.
Oh ya, Though no matter how much I wish it, Naruto isn't mind. It'd be screwed up anyway... ^.^

Lee woke to the smell of breakfast being cooked. He got up and walked to the kitchen when Iruka was making scrambled eggs and bacon.
"You're awake! Good, you can help me. Could you toast these?" Iruka handed Lee some slices of bread. "The toaster is over there." He pointed it out on the cluttered counter.
Lee nodded, still slightly sleep-grogged, and made the toast.
"Lee-kun, when that's done, could you put it on the table and get the butter and jam out? Those are in the fridge door." Iruka asked while still cooking the eggs and bacon.
Lee put the things on the table just as Iruka finished making breakfast. Lee goggled at the amount. "You made a lot!"
"Naruto usually eats breakfast with me. He should be showing up soon, as a matter of fact. You want coffee, milk, or juice?" Iruka asked while pouring himself some coffee.
"Ummm... coffee with milk would be nice."
"Okay." Iruka poured Lee his coffee with milk and handed it to him. "Here you go."
"Thank you." Lee took a sip just as the doorbell rang.
"That's probably Naruto, hold on a sec." Iruka opened the door to Naruto and... "Sasuke?"
Naruto grinned. "I convinced him to come eat breakfast with us!"
Sasuke grunted. "I can talk for myself, baka."
Naruto shrugged and came in, noticing the pillow and blanket. "Who stayed over?"
Sasuke had come in, walking past Naruto and into the kitchen. He nodded hello to Lee, who Naruto hadn't noticed yet, and poured himself some coffee.
Iruka gestured to the kitchen. "Lee did."
"Really?" Naruto bounced into the kitchen. "Hey Lee!"
"Hello Naruto-kun." Lee greeted while Naruto was getting himself milk and raiding the fridge for chocolate syrup.
Iruka followed and put the eggs and bacon on the table. "Breakfast is served."
All four of the ninjas made short work of Iruka's breakfast.
"as great as always, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto crowed over his empty plate. Sasuke nodded his agreement.
"I really liked it, thank you." Lee smiled in complement.
"Oh, it's not much trouble. I cook in bulk for Naruto's appetite anyway." Iruka smirked as Sasuke snickered.
"Hey! And stop laughing!" Naruto turned and punched Sasuke in the shoulder. Sasuke punched back. "oww... that hurt." Naruto pouted.
"It was supposed to." Sasuke smirked.
"I wonder why I invited you at all." He stuck out his tongue.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, causing Naruto to immediately retract his tongue.
Iruka sighed. "Naruto, that attitude of yours is going to land you in trouble after trouble."
"What's wrong with my attitude?"
"A lot." Sasuke replied.
"Aw man, Sasuke..." Naruto pouted.
Iruka slightly smiled. "You can come eat breakfast with us more often if you want, Sasuke. You too Lee."
Lee looked up. "Thank you for the offer. I just might take you up on it."
"You're always welcome." Iruka smiled.
Naruto snickered. "Come on Sasuke, we'll be late."
"When did you ever care if we were late?"
"Just come on!" Naruto dragged Sasuke out of Iruka's apartment.
Iruka and Lee traded confused glances. Iruka shrugged. "I don't know." He glanced at the clock. "It's close to the time that I leave. You ready?"
"Not quite yet." Lee walked back to the living room and put on what he took off for bed.
Iruka followed and watched. "Now?"
"Now I am. Are you always impatient first thing in the morning?" Lee followed Iruka to the door.
"I just don't like being late."
Lee raised an eyebrow. "We have two hours until school starts, and it will take us ten minutes at a slow stroll."
Iruka blushed a little. "It's a habit."
They walked to the school in companionable silence. Each went their own way after arriving, both needing to prepare for their classes.
Oh ya, Though no matter how much I wish it, Naruto isn't mind. It'd be screwed up anyway... ^.^
