20. Yawn

Jiraiya did not even bother to stifle the yawn that escaped him as he walked down the hallway toward Iruka's office. It was early in the evening and he had been doing paperwork for Tsunade all day long… unfortunately most of it was supposed to be turned in the day before. Which was Jiraiya's reason for visiting Iruka after hours.

Upon reaching the chuunin's office, Jiraiya was surprised to find that the door was closed and the lights off. Funny thing was, he could definitely sense the man's presence on the other side of the door, not only that, but Iruka was not alone in his office. Jiraiya frowned and leaned his ear closer to the door.

It took a few minutes for him to decipher the conversation, but once he did, a grin spread across his face.

"…let me take you home," a slightly demanding voice was saying.

Iruka let out a long sigh. "I still have work to do-wait… Kakashi! Not here!"

After a few moments of shuffling and rustling papers, there was a pause that went on a little bit too long. "Kakashi…" Iruka was whispering, but Jiraiya could still hear the strained tone of his voice.

Smiling, Jiraiya slipped his papers under the office door and teleported away as fast as he could. Better to leave young love alone, he thought to himself.

Did you know that being tired, watching yawns, reading about yawns, talking about yawns, writing about yawns, and thinking about yawns all make you yawn? Did you know that one time I had to read a whole in depth analysis of yawning whilst taking the SAT? It was painful. And now I'm yawning again. Sucky chapter, sorry. Hooomwork.
