Summary: Naruto and Sasuke are to be raised by Iruka and Kakashi. Snapshots of their lives together as a family.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Naruto. I just like to borrow them sometimes. No profit is being made off this result of me liking the idea of Iruka and Kakashi raising Sasuke and Naruto.

A/N: This chapter is just a couple of prompts. Not in any particular order.

1. Loved

In the beginning, when there was no school the next day, Naruto would sometimes pretend to fall asleep on the couch, late at night, so Iruka or Kakashi would gently pick him up and carry him to bed. As he rest comfortably, carefully cradled in his guardians' arms, he would wonder to himself if this was what it was like to be loved.

2. Soft

Sasuke wasn't a very cuddly person and normally would never allow anyone – or thing – to lay on top of him, but the kitten was just so soft.

3. Hold

The past few years with his new-found family made Sasuke feel he finally had a hold on life again.

4. Shackles

Kakashi never understood when his friends would jokingly refer to his marriage as a life sentence; his and Iruka's relationship never made him feel as though he was in shackles.

5. Broken

Naruto gave Iruka a sheepish grin and scratched at the back of his head nervously. "Um … Well – You see – It was like that when I got here?"

6. Precious

As Naruto hugged the ramen close to his chest, mumbling "My precious. My precious," Kakashi decided then and there that the blonde wasn't allowed to watch Lord of the Rings ever again.

7. Breakable

The day Kakashi almost didn't come back from a mission was the day they found out that Iruka was breakable.

8. Soothe

Sasuke was kicking in his sleep – another nightmare – and tiny whimpers escaped from his lips, but his fretful mind soon calmed as Iruka gently rocked him back to peace.

9. Push

Iruka beamed when Naruto finally performed the correct hand seals; he knew the young boy could do it – all he needed was a little push.

10. Naked

Kakashi looked back and forth from Naruto and Sasuke multiple times before closing his eyes and sighing. "I don't even want to know."
