Wow, it has been way too long since I did one of these. I've had this one for a while too, and I figured it was about time I put it up. It's a pairing I haven't written in here before, but I hope you guys like it anyway. Enjoy!

I do not own Naruto.

"What are you staring at, Iruka?"

Iruka Umino jumped a little, startled out of his reverie by Kakashi's voice, and blushed slightly. "Oh! Nothing!"

Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow and tilted his head to look in the same direction Iruka had been looking. Anko Mitarashi was arguing with some of the other teachers. "Ah. Nice choice."

Iruka's blush deepened. Kakashi continued as though he didn't notice. "You two were teammates when you were kids, right?"

"Yeah… us and Ebisu."

Kakashi paused for a moment, his expression even more unreadable than usual. "That is possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard."

Iruka, over his embarrassment at this point, smiled. "It was then too. We used to play pranks on him."

"Hm." Kakashi looked at Anko again. "Anko's good if you want to ogle, but I think- despite the advantage being teammates gives you- she's a little too much for you. You need a nice, quiet girl."

Iruka gave Kakashi a mild glare. "What do you mean by that?"

"Anko is… wild. You're not."

Iruka stood up. "You can't learn everything from the Icha Icha series, Kakashi." He walked over to where Anko stood and kissed her, cutting off whatever argument she was still having.

Anko caught Kakashi's wide-eyed expression out of the corner of her eye and smirked, deepening her kiss with Iruka. When they separated for air, he smiled at her.

"He didn't know we were dating, did he?" Anko whispered.

Iruka grinned. "He does now."

I know Ebisu, Anko, and Iruka weren't actually teammates, but it is a funny image. Thanks for reading, and please review!
