Hotshot: Something I randomly came up with. If I remember correctly, this was probably the first(and Only) Iruka ship I had. So yeah, enjoy! ...I will say that I didn't know what to do for this one so...sorry if it isn't all that good. If anyone wants, I can make a sequel.
Pairing: KakaIru
Summary: Being a single father is tough until you meet someone.
Rated: PG
Warnings: First meetings
"Papa!" a seven year old Naruto chirped from his spot on top of the monkey bars while waving over to a brown haired man that was relaxing on the bench. The man smiled and waved back, which satisfied Naruto and he began to hang upside down from the bars, entertaining himself.
Iruka sighed deeply as he watched his adopted son playing. It brought a small smile on his face, knowing that the divorce seemingly had no effect on the blond what so ever. He was glad for that, he didn't want his young to change, especially after what Mizuki had done to him- to them. Despite him trying to push that away, he was still feeling a little bit hurt with what the other had done. The cheating, how he began to treat Naruto...how couldn't he see what was going on with his ex-husband? He felt like...a failure of both a husband and a parent for not realizing it sooner.
"Yo." A sudden voice greeted making the man look over.
There stood a tall man with silver hair, sticking up on a defying gravity way. He wore a white button up shirt with dark jeans and dark shoes, he had a patch over his left eye and a mask covering the lower half of his face. At his feet was a small, brown pug with a little blue vest on.
"Never saw you here before." The man continued lazily before he went close to the bench and sat, his pug following him. "Kakashi Hatake and this is Pakkun."
"Iruka Umino."
"I'm guessing that pup's yours?"
Iruka blinked before noticing where Kakashi's looking at. "Ah, yes. That would be Naruto."
"Does he like dogs?"
"Yes, why?"
Kakashi didn't answer. Instead, he bent forward and at Pakkun on the head. "Go ahead."
Pakkun didn't need to be told twice. Once he saw Naruto getting off the monkey bars, he took off, racing towards the blond and skidded to a stop and sat at the kid's feet, tail wagging.
"Doggy!" Naruto gasped before dropping to his knees. Pakkun instantly stood and placed both paws on his lap and started to lick his face, making Naruto laugh and wrap his arms around the dog. Iruka stared at the scene before him, not entirely sure if he was happy or annoyed that Kakashi seemed to think that he was fine with this.
"Pakkun will take care of him." The silver haired man stated after a moment of watching his dog and the kid. He glanced over at Iruka with his visible eye. "So, what's your story? Why move here?"
"And why should I tell you anything?" Iruka raised an eyebrow, causing the man to chuckle.
"It's good to have friends around here, Iruka. A part of being friends is telling the other things."
Iruka stayed silent and, after a moment, sighed. "Cheating husband, started to treat Naruto like shit...divorced, and we moved here to leave that all behind. Anything else you'd like to know, Kakashi-san?"
"Maa, not at this moment. Would you and Naruto like to have dinner at my house?"
Iruka just stared, slowly blinking. "I...uh..."
"I have my other dogs that Naruto could play with." Kakashi bribed with a twinkle in his eye. Iruka swallowed before letting his eyes wonder over towards Naruto, who was running around with Pakkun chasing him.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt..."
Hotshot: Remember to review!
