Chapter 9
Reaching his apartment, Iruka unlocked the door and walked inside taking off his shoes and vest, Kakashi following in behind doing the same.
"Um, it's not very big, but your welcome to use anything you need." Iruka said rubbing his nose.
"It's fine, Iruka. Don't worry about it. Thank you for letting me stay." replied Kakashi
"Would you like any tea or coffee to drink?" asked Iruka
"Tea would be great. Thank you." replied Kakashi
"Alright, why don't you go ahead and sit in the living room, and I'll be back in a minute." said Iruka
"Thanks" replied Kakashi walking over to the sofa and sitting down. "I wonder what I should do" thought Kakashi "I have to be here a couple of days, and I'm not going to want to wear my mask all the time, but should I let him see my face. He is my friend and hope for it to be more, so at some point he's going to have to see it. But I'm actually nervous of what he will think." Hearing Iruka coming into the living room, Kakashi had made his decision.
"Here you go." said Iruka
"Thank you" replied Kakashi, pulling down his mask to take a sip. Looking up to see if Iruka was actually looking. Smirking when he saw the expression on this face. Iruka's face was bright red and eyes wide as saucers. It was actually kind of funny.
Deciding to break the silence, "Like what you see, Iruka?" teased Kakashi
"Um, I'm sorry Kakashi…" replied Iruka. Kakashi thinking that Iruka didn't like what he saw and feeling a little disappointed started to raise his hand to put the mask back up, but Iruka grabbed his hand to stop him "please don't put it back up. I was just shocked you allowed me to see your face. You have a very handsome face, Kakashi." blushing from the words he just said.
Kakashi bending his head down, blushed a little and said "thank you."
"Um, right" said Iruka trying to think of something to change the subject "you can sleep in my bed while you are here."
"But where will you sleep?" asked Kakashi scrunching his eyebrows together.
"I'll sleep out here on the sofa." replied Iruka
"No, your not going to sleep out here. This is your house, you should sleep in your own bed. I'll sleep out here." said Kakashi
"I'm not going to let you do that. You need your rest, and you won't be able to get it out here on the sofa." replied Kakashi
"Then we will both share your bed, because I'm not sleeping in there knowing your out here on the sofa." said Kakashi
"A.. um.. what did you say? I…. we….. sleep together…" Iruka stuttered out, shocked from what Kakashi suggested and turning a bright red from embarrassment.
Chuckling a little from Iruka's expressions, "I won't do anything to you, unless you want me to." teased Kakashi
"KAKASHI!!!!" screamed Iruka, turning even a deeper red.
Laughing out right now, Kakashi looked at Iruka and said "just joking, just joking. But that is the only way I will sleep in there. I can't sleep knowing you are out here on that trying to get some sleep. And I promise I won't do anything."
"Fine" replied Iruka
"Why don't you go back and rest some, and I'll start dinner." said Iruka. "It's the first door on the right."
Alright, just for a little bit." replied Kakashi walking back to the room.
"I never thought I would get the chance to sleep in Iruka's bed." thought Kakashi to himself. Going over to the bed and laying down. "Hmm, it smells just like Iruka." burying his nose into the pillow and falling asleep immediately.
Iruka walking into the kitchen wondering what he should make for dinner. "I'll just make some stir fry" he thought going to the refrigerator and getting the ingredients that he needed. Walking over to the stove and started to make dinner.
________________________________________________________________________
Alright I've got everything ready for dinner, I better go and wake Kakashi up, walking back to his bedroom. He stopped at the doorway, looking at the sight in front of him. "He looks so beautiful laying their. And to think he's laying in my bed. Ugh, this is going to be a long night." Iruka thought to himself.
Walking over to him, Iruka bent over to wake Kakashi up. Iruka started to shake his shoulder and said "Kakashi, wake up…" Next thing he knew, he was on his back on the bed with his arms above his head, and a kunai at his throat. "I shouldn't have done that." thought Iruka not moving to provoke him more.
"Kakashi, it's me Iruka" he said
Kakashi looking straight into Iruka's eyes, finally waking up realizing what he was doing. He jumped back to the end of the bed, eyes going wide.
"Iruka, I'm so sorry. I didn't hurt you did I?" asked Kakashi
"I should have known better than to do that, but I wasn't thinking. You're really quick" replied Iruka sitting up and rubbing his nose with his hand.
"Um yeah. It's best not to touch me when you are trying to wake me up." said Kakashi feeling a little guilty.
Yeah, I know that, now" replied Iruka chuckling a little. "Dinners ready by the way."
"Alright." said Kakashi getting up from the bed. Both walking into the kitchen.
"Go ahead and sit down and I'll finish bringing everything over" said Iruka
Once everything was brought over, Iruka sat down and they both started to eat.
"So how do you feel?" asked Iruka
"Better, just a little tired. Nothing new." replied Kakashi
"You mean this happens a lot?" asked Iruka
Shrugging, Kakashi just replied "yeah." Both going into a comfortable silence while finishing their dinner, thinking about their current situation.
Once they were both finished, Iruka looked over at Kakashi and said "Why don't you go ahead and take a shower and get ready for bed while I clean up in here."
"But Iruka, I just woke up. I'm not really tired now." replied Kakashi
Narrowing his eyes, Iruka said "Just because you got out of the hospital, don't think you are going to get away with not resting. I promised the Hokage that you would rest."
"Fine, I'll go take my shower." replied Kakashi "are you going to bed after you finish cleaning up?"
"Yes. I have to take a shower first though" replied Iruka
"Alright." walking back to take his shower.
________________________________________________________________________
Finishing up in the kitchen, Iruka started to walk back thinking he should probably get an outfit out for Kakashi to wear. "It still sounds like he's in the shower" thought Iruka
Kakashi finished with his shower, turned off the water and grabbed his towel to dry off. Once finished wrapped it around his waist.
Iruka not noticing the shower had turned off, went to open the door to the bathroom walking in and said "Kakashi, I got you some pajama bottoms and…." frozen in his spot when he realized Kakashi was out of the shower and only had a towel wrapped around him. "WOW, he looks like a GOD. What I wouldn't do to be able to touch that body. I wonder what he looks like without the towel." Iruka thought to himself
Blushing at the intense stare that he was receiving, Kakashi replied "Um, thanks" rubbing the back of his neck.
Finally coming out of his musings, Iruka started to turn bright red when he realized what he had been thinking. "Um, yeah. Here you go." said Iruka handing the clothes to Kakashi before running out of the bathroom.
"I wonder what that was all about." Kakashi thought to himself. "Do I look that bad? Maybe he was just embarrassed. Because that look wasn't a look of disgust, but one of lust." smirking at the thought.
Getting dressed and walking out, Kakashi froze in the doorway. Iruka was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down. "Um, Iruka are you ok." asked Kakashi, walking over to him.
Iruka looking up at Kakashi as he started to walk over. "Yeah, I'm fine." replied Iruka looking off to the side, face still a bright red "I'm sorry. I thought you were still in the shower. I didn't mean to walk in on you like that."
Getting down on his knees in front of him, Kakashi looked at Iruka and said "Iruka, look at me." Iruka slowly turning his head to look at him.
"It's alright. There's nothing to be ashamed about. I'm not mad if that's what you are worried about." said Kakashi "I wish you would always look at me that way." thought Kakashi to himself.
"Your not mad?" asked Iruka
"No, why would I be?" replied Kakashi
"I didn't think you would want me to see you like that." said Iruka
"It's fine, Iruka. Don't worry about it. OK?" asked Kakashi
"Alright, I better go take my shower. You can go ahead and rest if you want to. I'll be out in a few minutes." replied Iruka walking over to the bathroom.
"OK" said Kakashi getting up and laying down on the bed.
Once inside the bathroom, Iruka started thinking to himself "This is going to be a really long night. After seeing what I saw earlier, it just makes me want him more. How the heck am I'm going to be able to keep my hands away from him when we are in the same bed together. Not much I can do about it know." starting the shower and getting in.
Once finished, Iruka got dressed and went back out to his bedroom, noticing that Kakashi looked like he was already asleep. Deciding that it would be best to just slip in quietly, he pulled back the covers and got in. Rolling onto his side away from Kakashi, pulling the covers back over him.
"What no good night kiss?" teased Kakashi
"KAKASHI!" yelled Iruka, face turning bright red
"Sorry, couldn't help it." replied Kakashi, laughing.
"Your impossible, you know that? Said Iruka, hitting Kakashi up side the head with his pillow.
"Yeah, I know." replied Kakashi laughing even harder.
Giving up, Iruka turned back onto his side, looking away from Kakashi and said "Good Night."
"Good Night" replied Kakashi, still chuckling a little.

"Hm, something feels really warm." thought Iruka trying to move closer to the warmth.
"I wish I could wake up like this every morning. I feel so rested for once. Wait a minute, warmth. Slowly he opened his and noticed his head was laying on a chest. Oh, no! realizing whose chest he was laying on. Slowly he lifted his and was met with a mismatched pair of eyes staring right back at him.
