Day 10 - Parties
Everyone who did not have a family to be with gathered on Christmas. Generally, these parties started innocently and ended with property damage or a trip to the hospital. Anko, who was listing to the left so badly she had to right herself with a hand on an unconscious and snoring Gai, looked as though she might be the first to require assistance being dragged to the emergency room. The table they were both perched shivered as if it was going to give way underneath them any moment.
"Kakashi and Iruka truth... truth or dare?" Anko shouted even though they were only a few feet away.
They weren't even playing. Nobody was. But, Kakashi answered for them anyway. "Dare."
"Kakashi, ad-lib a set of marriage vows for Iruka. She gestured with her glass and, miraculously, did not spill. Iruka, do the same for Kakashi. But... each pretend to be the other.
"I do solemnly swear," Iruka started. "On alternating Tuesdays when I am not out of the village, to do my best to make sure my dogs don t barf in your shoes, sleep in the wet spot without complaint when I don t do the laundry so we have no clean sheets and stop when you say safeword."
Kakashi clenched his fist and waxed poetic. "Be my mirror, my dagger and the place to rest my head-"
Iruka blushed furiously. He interrupted, "Shuddup."
"Man, you are both going to be so hung over in the morning."
Anko laughed so hard that Gai slipped underneath her. The table shuttered and collapsed. Kakashi and Iruka gathered Anko and Gai off the floor and walked them home.
