Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Grading papers, Iruka was not expecting his boyfriend to appear, shirtless, kiss him, and then disappear once more. Sure he was in Kakashi's house so seeing the other was to be expected, but did he really have to sneak up on him? Especially why he was grading papers. Now Naruto's paper had a big red slash through it. He had yet to see Kakashi without his mask, something that bothered him, but that didn't stop him from kissing Iruka regularly. They had promised to take Naruto out for a picnic dinner before celebrating New Year with him so they had to leave soon. Iruka had been hoping to finish grading before they had to leave but clearly, Kakashi had other plans.

An hour later, Iruka stepped from the bedroom, having not finished grading, followed by Kakashi who had offered the distraction for Iruka not to finish grading. They got to the grassy area they had agreed upon and set up. Naruto strolled over shortly after, gleeful to have a family to spend New Year with. Iruka was sitting back looking up at the sky as the light began to fade, Naruto sitting next to him quietly, and Kakashi behind him, something string and warm to lean back on.

"Are you having fun Naruto?" Kakashi asked, sounding oddly like he didn't care.

"Yeah." Naruto smiled.

"I think this is the quietest I've ever seen you." Iruka teased drawing a laugh from the other two.

"I guess I don't have anything else to say." Naruto shrugged. He was comfortable enough with them to be still, to be quiet. He didn't need to fill the silence with unending nonsensical chatter. They watched as people set off fireworks to bring in the New Year.

"Happy New Year!" The three chorused.
