Authors Note: The last of my fics for the kakairu christmas festival. For those who have clicked on the 'fast forward' button, I thought i better let you know that I've posted up about 8 chapters today so you might want to go back to 5: Gingerbread Man if you haven't read from there already :)
Contentment
The lights shone brightly against tan skin, a multitude of colours dancing across the lithe body as Iruka swayed unconsciously
to the soft tune emitting from the stereo gracing the mantle. Kakashi
grinned from the couch, Naruto sleeping across his lap, watching the unconscious display his lover unwittingly
put on as he placed several items within the stockings hanging above
the fireplace. Christmas had been an overall success, despite the few
setbacks earlier, and seeing how happy Iruka had been when he served up
the promised hot cocoa to Naruto, laughing as he moved about the
kitchen preparing the last of the christmas dinner (or what had been
salvaged from his and Naruto's misled attempt), made each moment worth
more than any present (though Iruka's secret present came a
close second...). Sighing in contentment, Kakashi reached out his hand
towards the tanned man, drawing Iruka in for a chaste kiss. Yes, every
moment with Iruka was worth more than the world to him.

Iruka
placed the small items within the stockings he had prepared for Kakashi
and Naruto (his one already filled by Naruto), smiling softly as he
hummed along to the nameless tune on the radio. Life was good, he
decided as he watched Kakashi beckon to him, hand reaching out. Curling
his fingers around Kakashi's, he allowed himself to be drawn to the
sitting man, lips touching in a soft kiss. He pressed more firmly
against Kakashi's lips, tongue reaching out to gently lick the
uncovered mouth, sucking on his bottom lip before pulling away, eyes
glinting with promise as he turned, the sway of his hips enhanced but
the colours radiating from the lights embracing the Christmas Tree.
Laughing at the pout on his lover's face, Iruka placed the last of the
items within the stockings. Life was better now that his family was
finally complete. He wasn't sure when Kakashi and Naruto had reached an
understanding, but he was grateful not to have to walk on tiptoes
around them, wanting to act but needing to let them sort it out for
themselves. If he had intervened, they would of accepted a truce, but
never move forward from the forced peace. It made for a few stressful
weeks, (though some of their antics were worth a laugh - particularly
the gingerbread wars...), but seeing Kakashi uncousiously stroke
Naruto's hair as he watched him dance softly to the music, eyes filled
with obvious desire, Iruka decided that it was worth every moment to
have his family together.

He might even replace the dye infected shampoo he'd placed within their stockings...
Naaaaa.
AN: I just want to say thank you to all my readers and reviewers :) Hopefully this mega posting appeases all those forced to wait so long for an update.
