A/N: This story contains yaoi. Don't like it, don't read it.

Disclaimer: Don't own nothing. (That means I own everything. Including you. So think twice if you're gonna sue.)

This is actually a one-shot, two-chapter thing --- almost a PWP, but I've decided to try a little experiment in building suspense and drag it out. If I find that FFnet doesn't allow explicit content, I'll post the first, clean, part of the fic here, then post a link directive to the actual, full, uncensored, DIRTY fic

--- Setting the stage ---

Two days later, Kakashi notices Iruka acting odd. He looks depressed whenever he thinks no one's watching him and his voice is unnaturally bright when he's talking to friends. Kakashi observes that Iruka isn't eating well and is always 'not hungry' when he takes him out for lunch. Kakashi also catches Iruka looking sadly at him from time to time.

As is his usual reaction to such situations, Kakashi falls back on his preferred method of physical therapy. That is, to get it up with his 'ruka every night. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work as well as it always does in the Icha Icha novels because his little sensei is always tired when he gets back from the academy.

Lately though, he's begun to suspect that these were excuses. Iruka returns his embraces and kisses every night and his hands wanders in delicious ways that make him shiver just thinking about it. But he doesn't follow through on it and if he does, he does so unenthusiastically, making him finish quickly with only his hands and mouth before Kakashi even gets a chance to suggest what he really wants to do.

--- The performance ---

"'ruka…" Kakashi whispers as he nibbles on the neck of a studiously marking Iruka.
"…hmm?..." the distracted tone doesn't encourage Kakashi much but he's not one to give up so easily.
He slides one hand up the front of Iruka's shirt, searching. Iruka pulls away and deters him.
"Stop that, 'kashi, I'm working."
"but you can do that tomorrow can't you? It's the weekend… we haven't been – "
"I'm just really tired 'kashi, alright? sorry, I'll help you out later when I've finished this ok?"

The past weeks of 'frustration' have really gotten to Kakashi. He's worried that something's going on with his 'ruka and that he's not talking to him about it. The combined stress and anxiety has made Kakashi unusually careless and he says without thinking,

"…but you teach kids at the academy! And you don't even bring that much work home anymore now the mid-year exams are over. How can you be 'tired' every night?"

Iruka's eyes glint in fury for a moment; then he smiles inwardly and launches into his act. His face falls and eyes start to water, then he pulls out the trembling lower lip, gives Kakashi a moment of the full frontal view for effect, then turns away and hides in the bathroom.

Completely floored by having made his 'ruka cry, Kakashi's overcome with anxiety. He starts apologising from the outside while Iruka is in the bathroom. Iruka emerges after a while, eyes red, and starts apologising for breaking down and stammering things along the lines of 'we should break up' and 'I'm not good enough for you…' He 'allows' Kakashi to weasel out that he 'feels insecure about their disparity in rank' ("but I don't care about that!") and Kakashi can 'do so much better than just a weak chuunin schoolteacher' ("but I don't want someone better, I want you!") and starts babbling that he can't even do high-rank missions like Kakashi does all the time and doesn't have control over anything – even in their relationship, Kakashi has to keep taking the lead every time and he feels like such a woman…

Kakashi is in despair, "I didn't know you felt that way, I thought you liked it", he protests (so you think I'm so weak that I like being dominated all the time?) and finally says what Iruka has been waiting to hear. "How can I show you I'm completely yours? Why don't you be seme this time? That way you can see for yourself that you can take the lead and be in control just as much as you want."

By now, Iruka is only sniffling and has calmed down a bit. He voices a protest, pointing out, "but I couldn't. You're much stronger than me and I couldn't make you do anything you didn't want to even if I tried. And how can I be seme? I mean, I do know what to do and I wouldn't hurt you but I've always been uke before. – You've always been seme… You're a trained ANBU and a jounin, how could you trust me that much --/sniff/-- I'm just a chuunin…"

Kakashi, wanting to soothe him, tells him, 'Iruka, you know I trust you completely. It wouldn't matter who's stronger. Look, tonight I'll be yours to command, I promise to do everything you say and I won't do anything you don't want me to. You can do anything you want with me.'
"You promise? Anything?" Iruka seems to brighten a bit now.
Then he says with a little hint of disappointment, 'but only tonight?'
Kakashi hastens to reassure him as he doesn't want a repeat of his 'ruka crying. 'Anytime you want. You just have to say the word. I'm yours, body and soul' he pledges.

Iruka smiles at him then and the happy look on his face takes Kakashi's breath away. He thinks, anything is worth it for his koibito so long as he can make him smile like that. 'I won't have to make you? I just have to ask? I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to.' Iruka bites his lip and looks worried.

'Iruka, look at me. I promised you tonight and I'll keep my promise. You wouldn't be making me do anything I don't want to. – I'll want to do it because you want me to.' Iruka doesn't let him continue. Instead, he captures his lips in a kiss, his tongue licked across his lips, probing into his mouth, running across his molars and he groans, completely lost in the moment. Tongues tangled and time passed before they had to break for breath.

'Kakashi, come with me to bed now?'
'God, yes.'
'Remember, you promised. Anything I ask.'

Something in the way Iruka said that made alarm bells ring in his head.
He hesitated but answered affirmatively, not wanting to spoil the mood.
After all, looking at that sweet, innocent face on the schoolteacher, it couldn't be that bad, could it?
