Around 2 AM Kakashi woke up from the sound of thunder and rain.
He sat up and looked at the sky through his window.
"Damn that's going to be a heavy storm…"
Then he remembered something.
"Fuck! I forgot to close the window in the bathroom…" Kakashi stood up slowly and walked to the bathroom.
When he opened the door he saw that the floor was already wet.
"Damn…"
He slowly walked to the window.
Very careful because he still couldn't use his chakra.
He walked over the cold, wet and slippy floor. When he was almost at his window suddenly…
"Kakashi? What the…" A voice said behind him.
Kakashi turned around quickly and slipped.
"Fuck!" he closed his eyes and waited to hit the hard floor.
After a few seconds he still didn't feel any pain, but he felt the heat of someone's body who was caught him.
"Iruka? You can let me go now…"
Iruka quickly released the Jounin.
"Ehh sorry, anyway what the hell were you doing? You're supposed to be in bed!"
"I… realized that my window was still open so I went to close it?"
"You could have asked me!" Iruka walked to the still open window and closed it.
"But you were sleeping!"
"So?"
"I didn't want to wake you." Kakashi said with a soft voice.
"Oh…" Then suddenly a flash of the lightning.
"Eek!" Iruka suddenly grabbed Kakashi's arm. When he realized what he did he quickly released the Jounin and tried to almost run away but Kakashi quickly grabbed his arm and didn't let Iruka run away.
"Iruka…." Kakashi said with a teasing tone, and he pulled the blushing Chuunin closer.
"Is little Iruka-sensei afraid of lightning?"
"No… No way! I'm not afraid of such stupid thing…"
"Liar. But don't worry I'm here to protect you." Kakashi said, stil teasing.
"Oke that's something to be afraid of… The great Copy Ninja is going to…" Lightning lit the room again.
Iruka swung his arms around Kakashi and buried his face against the Jounin's shirtless chest.
The wound on his side began to hurt but Kakashi didn't paid much attention to it.
Iruka mumbled something.
"Sorry? Didn't catch that…"
Iruka looked up with a blushed but irritated face and released the Jounin.
"I said! Okeyourrightiamafraidofthelightningeversincethekyuubiattacked." Iruka said in one breath
"Oke… I was like… Huh? And then like Wha? And then I lost u completely. Say it again! With NORMAL speed this time?"
Iruka sighed and looked at the ground.
"You're right, I am afraid of the lightning… ever since the Kyuubi attacked the village...Oke go ahead… laugh…" Iruka still didn't look up.
"Hey…I'm not going to laugh."
Iruka looked up.
"You're not?"
"No… you have all right to be afraid after something that terrible happened." Kakashi smiled at Iruka… A true and warm smile.
"C'mon." Kakashi walked passed Iruka to his room and Iruka followed in silence.
Iruka put the blankets over his head and curled up in a ball on Kakashi's couch.
"Hey… if you're still a bit scared… you can sleep next to me… I don't bite…"
"Nah its alriii." Iruka quickly put the blankets back over his head. "Don't worry I'll be fine…"
After a moment of silence there was a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Hey… you don't have to play the tough sensei, you know…"
"C'mon." Kakashi lead Iruka to his bed. And laid down behind him. He put a protective arm around the Chuunin.
"Comfy?"
"Yeah…" and then with a little voice Iruka said. "Thanks Kakashi…"
Kakashi probably wasn't supposed to hear it but he did.
"No problem…"
A few minutes later Iruka was asleep.
When the room was lit again from the lightning Iruka trembled and Kakashi cuddled the man.
"Shhh It's alright…I'm here… I won't let anything happen to you." He said with a gentle voice.
He stroke a few hairs out of the sleeping man's face.
"I promise."
After a last look at the peacefull face of the sleeping Chuunin, Kakashi fell a sleep.
Still with his arms rapped around the younger man.
