Anyhoo on with the story!
A few moments later Irukas apartment was filled with booming laughter of the two teachers as Iruka nodded and listened while Kakashi filled him in with all the details of this mornings meeting.
"So now he keeps calling him Aoi-chan and Sasuke can't do or say a damn thing about it." Kakashi grinned, his eye curling up in laughter.
Iruka shook his head smiling, "That's really evil Kakashi." The chuunin said, "Couldn't you have just changed him back?"
"Maa, if I had wanted too, maybe." Kakashi smirked, "but that way he'll never learn will he?"
Iruka looked at the older man. He would never fathom how his mind works. Maybe that was a good thing. It kept things more interesting.
The pair sat in comfortable silence, each drinking their tea and occasionally glancing at the other only to burst out into laughter once more. Once they had settled, Iruka began clearing away the empty cups. Kakashi stood to help him pausing only when the chuunin spoke,
"I think it's a good thing Naruto found him." He said thoughtfully,
"Yeah." Kakashi agreed, "Imagine if it had been Sakura." Iruka gave a shudder, the mental image of Sakura practically smothering Sasuke. He smiled to himself and placed the cups in the sink, turning his back to the masked man.
"I'm serious though." He said, "Those two are good for each other."
Kakashi looked at the chuunin curiously, "You mean you know?"
"That they like each other? Of course I do. You can't be their teacher for god knows how long and not pick up on these things, even if they haven't realised it themselves yet."
Kakashi smiled, taking that as a good sign and moved a little closer to the chuunin, "And you don't mind?"
"Well I am a bit worried. Naruto has never really been close to someone…" He stopped when he felt the Jounin right behind him.
"No. I mean that they're both…"
"Men?" Iruka asked without turning around, trying hard to ignore the sudden increase in his hearts tempo at the mans proximity, "Why should I mind? Love isn't confined to one gender you know." He said with a knowing smile.
"I know." Kakashi whispered back, his breathing shallow as he shortened the gap between them.
Iruka gasped as he felt a lithe arm slide around his waist. The arm pulled him into a warm, hard body that pressed against his back. Iruka stood still, as something soft brushed his face and he felt the weight of Kakashi's head on his shoulder. "Um, Kakashi?" Iruka asked nervously,
"Mmm." Came the Jounins smothered reply.
Iruka held his breath as Kakashi sighed in comfort, blowing warm air over sensitive skin. Instinctively Irukas hand reached up to cover the one round his waist. The arm around him tightened and Iruka let his head fall back onto the other mans shoulder exposing more caramel flesh to the eager Jounin. Iruka shuddered as he felt the soft press of Kakashi's masked covered mouth dance across his neck. Suddenly Iruka was spun around, facing Kakashi, his back press against the kitchen unit. Iruka stared into that one blue eye and felt the hand resting on his hip. Very slowly Kakashi leant forward, his other hand resting beside Iruka on the unit. He bent his head and captured Irukas mouth in a gentle kiss.
It was strange at first. Being kissed thorough a mask was a new, but not entirely unpleasant, experience for Iruka. He could feel the movement and warmth but not the taste or the feeling you get from pure contact. But it still caused the butterflies to arrive en mass and flitter witlessly around his stomach. When Kakashi pulled away Iruka smiled to see a faint blush just under the line of his mask
"So..." Iruka said, breathlessly.
"So." Kakashi repeated, leaning his forehead against Irukas.
The silver haired ninja watched hesitantly as a tanned hand reached up and traced his jaw, slowly moving up to the edge of his mask. Kakashi looked down to find the chuunin gazing back at him, waiting for permission. Kakashi swallowed and nodded slowly. Gently the soft material was pulled away from his face, sliding down over his cheeks until it pooled around his neck. He heard a soft intake of breath come from the other man and Kakashi swallowed. He felt himself tense under the intense gaze of the brunette.
"Beautiful." Iruka whispered blushing furiously when he realised he had spoken out loud. He looked up to find Kakashi smiling a full, without-mask, smile which sent the butterflies into a full blown frenzy. His heart thudded in his chest as Kakashi leaned in, closing the distance between the pair. A pair of soft, warm lips lightly brushed against his and...
"IRUKA-SENSEI?"
Iruka barely had time to react before a small blonde came hurtling through his front door,
"ARE YOU..?" The blonde stopped mid-yell and stared at the two men. Iruka groaned. How the hell was he going to explain this?
"Oi, oi. What are you doing here Sensei?" Naruto asked, pointing at his Jounin-sensei. Iruka looked over, amazed that Kakashi had already stood back, mask fixed firmly in place. Iruka shook his head; he'd never even felt the man move.
"Maa, I was just, err, discussing your training with Iruka-sensei." The Jounin replied, scratching a cheek nervously. Iruka blushed under the blondes gaze,
"Hello Naruto." he said, trying to sound as calm as possible, and not too disappointed that what he'd been fantasising for the last few months had been so cruelly ripped away from him. "I wasn't expecting to see you today."
"I know," the boy said, still eyeing Kakashi suspiciously, "but I wanted to ask you about Aoi-chan."
Iruka looked at the boy confused for a moment, "Aoi-chan?" Then the sudden understanding dawned on him and he broke out into a wide grin, "Oh, the nin-dog you found. Kakashi-san told me all about it." The chuunin looked down at the blue furred dog with a knowing smile. The dog growled back.
"Hai. I was wondering if you might know anyone's lost a dog?" Naruto continued, oblivious, as always. Iruka turned his concentration back to the blonde and shook his head,
"Not that I know of, Sorry Naruto." he said with a devious smile. Getting far too much enjoyment from Sasukes obvious discomfort. "Looks like you're going to have to look after him for a while."
Apologises, I know alot of that was a repeat from B&I but that's kinda the point! I love blushing Iruka! Aren't they just too cute!
As a special bonus for getting over 100 reviews for B&I I'm writting a extra cute epilouge for the story which I'll be posting soon!
Until next time!
