The next day, after classes Iruka waited at home for Kakashi and Gai to show up. He was in the kitchen, baking some cookies for something to do. Kakashi showed up first. Iruka opened the door for him and smiled widely when he saw who it was.
"Hey!" He greeted cheerfully, standing on his tip toes to give Kakashi a kiss on the cheek. The jounin's eye curved up into a smile.
"Yo. Nice apron." Kakashi said, pointing to the apron Iruka was wearing. It had little pictures of ramen all over it.
"Thank you. Naruto bought it for me a while ago since I like to cook and my old apron was ready to fall apart." He shook his head with a laugh.
"Sounds like him alright." Kakashi remarked, removing his sandals and vest. It was a very thoughtful thing for Naruto to get Iruka, the fact that it had pictures of ramen on it...subliminal message perhaps?
"Cookie?"The chuunin offered, gesturing to the tray on the kitchen counter. Kakashi pulled down his mask and took a bite of one.
"Mmm." He picked up a couple more and sat down on the couch. Iruka laughed and followed him, setting his apron on the armrest.
"I'm assuming you like them?" Iruka asked and Kakashi nodded his head, curving his eye up happily. "That's good, I wasn't using a recipe and I kept modifying the one in my head."
"Hmm?" Kakashi frowned when he saw Iruka's expression change from a lovely smile to a sad frown. "Iruka, what's wrong?"
"I...I'm just worried...a-about Sasuke's reaction the other day. You know it's still bugging me." Iruka shrugged and Kakashi put his arm around the chuunin's shoulders.
"How about I talk to him, I can get him to talk to you about it." The jounin offered, smiling hopefully. Iruka's face brightened up.
"Thank you, I would feel a lot better if I could talk to him." He snuggled into Kakashi's side and kissed the other man's cheek. "I love you."
"Mmm I love you too." He replied, catching Iruka's lips in a slow, languid kiss. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. They pulled apart reluctantly so Iruka could answer the door.
"Hello Iruka-sensei!" Gai greeted enthusiastically. Iruka smiled and moved out of the way for him to enter.
"Hello, Gai-sensei. Have a seat." He greeted in return. Gai nodded happily and took a seat on the sofa chair next to the couch. Kakashi waved lazily, having pulled up his mask when Iruka stood up, his content smile was hidden.
"Hello, Kakashi." Gai said, smiling broadly. He felt very good that day, just seeing Kakashi and knowing then that his feelings for the silver haired man were really dissipating made his day.
"Cookie?" Iruka brought the plate of cookies into the livingroom, setting it onto the coffee table after Gai took one. "So what was Anko's answer?"
"Well, she was surprised, but she agreed." He replied, taking a bite of the cookie. "Mmm, these are really good!"
"I'm glad you like them!" He said happily. "Kakashi agreed as well. So, where are we going to go? What movie should we see?"
"I was thinking that for dinner we should go to that new place. Down the road from Ichiraku." Gai said, enthusiastically waving his hands. When Iruka nodded with a grin he smiled hugely, proud that he'd come up with a perfect place.
"Sounds good, and the movie?" Iruka asked, frowning at the silver haired man with his visible eye closed and poking Kakashi in the side to make sure he wasn't sleeping. He twitched and peeked at Iruka. The chuunin just smiled brightly while Gai continued to scratch his chin in thought.
"The one that just came out." He said the title, "It's supposed to be a comedy." Kakashi shrugged and Iruka's eyes lit up.
"Is that the one that's subtitled because it's in English?" He asked excitedly, the silver haired jounin shifted a little away from Iruka.
"Er...yes?"
"I've been dying to see that one! Sound good, Gai-sensei?" He turned to the green clad ninja who was still scratching his chin. Iruka was beginning to think he'd gotten some kind of rash on it. He finally nodded and stopped scratching, using that hand to give Iruka a thumbs up sign. "Excellent. So we'll meet you at the restaurant Friday night?"
"Yosh! I shall bring the lovely, youthful Anko!" He said loudly.
"And I'll bring Kakashi. Good, We'll see you then!" Iruka waved cheerfully as Gai went out the door. He turned back to Kakashi who was looking at little weary. "Oh it'll be fine!" He swatted the silver haired man's arm and crossed his own as he sunk back into the couch.
"I don't doubt that." Kakashi replied with a happy curve of his eye. "Just...Gai..."
"Shut up." Iruka laughed at Kakashi's shudder. "It'll be fun."
"Mmm, you know what I'm thinking?" The jounin asked huskily, trailing a finger up Iruka's leg.
"Will I have to hit you for it?" Iruka dead panned, raising one of his eyebrows skeptically.
"Ahem, no. I was thinking I still owe you a massage..."
"Oh...right." Iruka blushed.
The next day, Tuesday, after Kakashi had trained his team into the ground, he asked Sasuke to stay back for a minute. He started the conversation straight to the point.
"What was with your reaction?" He asked as soon as the other two had left.
"My reaction to what?" Sasuke asked blankly, his expression blank, but Kakashi caught the look of panic in his eye.
"That night when Iruka-sensei and I came out." Kakashi replied, rolling his eye. "He's all worked up with worry, trying to figure out why you reacted that way. So tell me."
"No." The teen began to walk away from Kakashi but the silver haired man appeared in front of him.
"I won't let up. Tell me." He watched Sasuke's reaction to his words, looking beneath the underneath to try and figure out the best way to get him to talk. "Is it...embarrassing?"
"Hn." Sasuke looked away, his cheeks flushing for a second.
"Mmm. Would you rather just tell Iruka-sensei? You know he's accepting and he won't laugh at whatever it is."
"Fine." The genin bite out, glaring at his teacher.
"Great! I'll take you there right now." He dragged Sasuke all the way to Iruka's home and stayed there while Sasuke knocked on the door and up until Iruka answered it. He gave the chuunin a quick cloth covered kiss before vanishing. Iruka stood there, frowning for a moment before diverting his attention to the teen standing before him.
"Hello, Sasuke. Come in, would you like some tea?" He greeted, moving out of the way for Sasuke to enter.
"Sure." He replied, not looking happy at all to be there. They took their tea and sat on the couches, sipping in silence.
"So, Sasuke, what brings you here?" He asked, knowing full well why but not wanting to scare the boy off with a sudden question.
"My reaction the other day." Sasuke said, rolling his eyes at Iruka's acting.
"Oh. You're going to tell me what happened?"Iruka asked, an almost hopeful look in his eye.
"When I saw you two...together I...I imagined that it was me and...uh, I was mostly reacting to that. I never really thought of being...like that...before." He said at a length and taking a deep breath afterwards, almost as if he were preparing to get laughed at.
"Oh, you mean you saw yourself with Kakashi?" Iruka started and Sasuke choked.
"N-no! S-someone my age." He looked away with a blush and Iruka smiled.
"I see, sorry, and you've never really thought of yourself as being gay?" Sasuke nodded, "Well, just know that we, Kakashi and I, will support you." Iruka smiled brightly, the teen stood to leave, having given his explanation and just wanting to go home and brood. Iruka pulled Sasuke in for a half hug, awkwardly patting the teen's shoulder.
"Hn." Sasuke left. Iruka turned around and almost bumped into Kakashi.
"Yo." He greeted, pulling Iruka in close and pulling his mask down.
"Hey." Iruka greeted lamely, leaning in for a kiss.
"So, what was it?" The silver haired man asked with a sheepish grin. Iruka just laughed.
"He didn't tell you?"
"Well, no." Kakashi scratched the back of his head. "He figured I'd laugh at him."
"Seeing us together put an image in his head and he didn't think of himself as gay." Iruka rolled his eyes, thinking back to how he'd never really thought of himself as gay either. Funny to find something in common with Sasuke.
"Ha ha, I always knew he was gay." Kakashi chirped. "Some people are just obvious."
"Like Anko?" Iruka dead panned.
"Er...well, she could be bi, like Gai!" Kakashi said seriously. Iruka rolled his eyes.
"Maybe, but not everyone is obvious you know!" He said, sitting down on the couch.
"Yeah, I know." The silver haired man replied, sitting next to Iruka and nuzzling his cheek. "I only had hopes about you."
"Mmm...who do you think Sasuke has a crush on?" Iruka asked, turning to look at Kakashi instead of the floor.
"He said he has a crush on a boy?" Kakashi asked incredulously.
"Well, no, he just implied it." Iruka replied, leaning in a little closer and resting his chin on Kakashi's shoulder, causing the jounin to do the same.
"I...haven't a clue." He chuckled, his warm breath tickling Iruka's ear.
"Aw, well." The chuunin tried to shrug, hard to do with someone's head resting on your shoulder. He started tugging down Kakashi's mask, which was bunched up around his neck. The silver haired man chuckled into his ear again, making him shudder.
"Are you trying to undress me, sensei?" He whispered huskily, shifting his legs to make them more comfortable and ended up sitting on Iruka's lap.
"Maybe..." Iruka whispered back before licking Kakashi's now exposed neck. The silver haired man shuddered, mentally reminding himself to calm down and just go with the flow, not take the lead.
They ended up making out for a long time, well into the night. Kakashi left Iruka's home amongst many apologies for keeping him so late. He just laughed them off and continued home, smile still plastered to his face.
