Wow this week was sucky. I had food poisoning and was stuck in a hospital because of those stupid salmonella infested eggs T.T But I snuck my journal in and kept writing this story, even though I was supposed to be "resting." Enjoy!
Arctic0Kitten: Lmao, I thought I was the only one. My head was spinning after re-reading it
Ryu Earth: Haha Kakashi did day he wouldn't be gentle XP And yeah, that would be a little too cruel if I had forgotten it lol
Lo: Thank you!

"Kakashi, do I really have to go?" Iruka whined, taking a seat next to his boyfriend on the sofa in their living room. "You know the bar scene isn't my thing."
"Come on 'Ruru, we owe it to Genma and Raidou. I mean they've been asking for so long, so it only seems fair," Kakashi countered, draping his arm lazily around the other's shoulders.
Iruka remained silent, scanning the room, trying to formulate a reasonable excuse so he wouldn't have to go.
'Hmm. The T.V.? Maybe my favorite show could be coming on,' Iruka pondered. 'No… that would make me sound pathetic. What if I said I promised to take Naruto out for ramen? No, Kakashi would have known about it already. Besides, Naruto already made plans with Sasuke.' Iruka mentally cringed at the image he had just painted in his mind. 'Sango? Sango! That's it!'
"Hey, what if Sango misses us and wrecks the house out of doggie frustration?" the tanned man questioned, watching mindlessly at the comedy skit that was currently playing.
The silver haired man turned towards the other and smirked, seeing right through his plan.
"Doggie frustration? It's not like this is the first time we ever left her alone. She knows how to behave, don't you girl?" Kakashi asked the dog, who gave an enthusiastic bark and promptly returned to sleeping on the small, plush, burgundy pillow that the two had recently bought for her. "I'll take that bark as a yes."
"Ugh!" Iruka groaned out, letting his head fall back against the couch.
"Do I have to punish you?" Kakashi teased, leaning over to nibble on the exposed neck.
Iruka let out a soft gasp and playfully pushed against the other's chest. Kakashi gave him a chaste kiss on the lips before pulling back and locking gazes with the other man.
"So what's it gonna be, 'Ruru?"
"Huh?"
"Do I need to punish you?" Kakashi repeated, snaking his hand around his lover's waist.
Iruka paled as he remembered the last time Kakashi had severely punished him.
'I couldn't walk or think right for weeks,' Iruka thought in slight fear. 'But I have to admit that that was one hell of a night.'
He was snapped out of his thoughts when the other began waving his hand in front of him.
"Earth to Iruka. You had a glazed look in your eyes," Kakashi laughed, trying to imitate Iruka's look.
"I was just trying to decide if I wanted to be punished or not," the tanned man chuckled.
"Wow, you're worse than me."
"Worse than you?" Iruka exclaimed. "Compared to you, I look like Bambi!"
"That may be true, but compared to that one student in your class, you know, the shy one, you're like a super perv," Kakashi joked, poking the other in the cheek with his finger.
"Hey, what's with the poking?" Iruka giggled, grabbing the other's finger in mid-air. "Hinata? Anyone would look like a freak compared to her. She's just too innocent."
"Haha, I guess you're right. So will you go?" Kakashi solicited, pouting ever so slightly.
"The great Hatake Kakashi, pouting right before me," Iruka mused, beginning to lose the willpower he had to say no to the older man. "All right, I'll go, but you owe me big time mister," the school teacher said, letting out a sigh as he was once again defeated by his love's pout.
"You will? Great!" Kakashi exclaimed joyfully, pulling the younger into a spine crushing hug. "We're supposed to meet them in front of "le Comptoir" at five."
"Kakashi, I can't breathe."
"I'm so sorry!" Kakashi apologized, immediately releasing his hold on Iruka, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
Iruka glanced at the clock, immediately jumping off of the couch when he saw what time it was.
"Oh no! It's already four-thirty!" Iruka yelled, waving his arms in the air frantically. He tugged at the other's arm in a desperate attempt to pull him off of the couch. "We have to get ready right now and-wait. Why did you wait to tell me about this right before we had to leave?"
Kakashi slowly rose from the couch, laughing softly at his love's question.
"It's simple," he replied. "I knew you couldn't resist my charming good looks."
"You're a despicable man, you know that?"
"If that's dolphin for I love you, then you're despicable too."
Iruka giggled at his lover's absurdity, punching him lightly in the arm. Kakashi immediately grasped his arm a made a pained face.
"Ouch! That really hurt. I think I'm crippled now. Looks like you'll have to dress me," the elder joked.
"A black belt, not one or two, but a tenth degree black belt, who can take on all of his students and then some at once, can't take a small punch?" Iruka teased, feigning surprise. "I guess that means we won't be able to have some fun for a while."
The older man instantly froze, eyes wide in disbelief.
"You wouldn't seriously do that, would you?" the pale man asked in fear.
"Well I wouldn't want you to injure your arm any further. That would be cruel and selfish of me. Now let's get dressed," Iruka answered, walking past the other, a smirk plastered firmly on his face.
"You're good at this," Kakashi commented, trailing behind the tanned man as if he were a lost dog.
The two quickly dressed; each throwing on a pair of jeans and a casual shirt.
"It always amazes me how you manage to eat and drink with that mask on," Iruka stated, pulling his hair back into a ponytail, tying a black band around it.
"The key is in timing. I steal a bite and a sip here and there when other people are too distracted to even notice," the silver haired man confessed.
"Steal a bite here and there? You practically inhale your food in a blink of an eye. Man, we need to hurry. It's already four-fifty five," Iruka said, hastily pushing the other man out of their bedroom and towards the front door. "Bye, Sango. Make sure you behave!" he yelled, as he opened the front door.
The dog, still half asleep on her pillow, wagged her tail a few times, and promptly fell back into a deep sleep. The couple smiled and gently and closed the door behind them. After a few minutes of walking down the busy streets of Konaha, the two arrived at the bar. Genma and Raidou were standing right outside of the front entrance.
"Yo, Genma and Raidou," Kakashi greeted, walking up to the duo.
"Hey," Iruka said, giving a slight wave with his hand.
"You two are ten minutes late! I should fine you or something for making me wait and-" Genma began, but was interrupted when Raidou slapped him.
"What this idiot means to say is that we're glad we finally have the chance to catch up with you two," Raidou said, smiling brightly.
"Geez, did you have to hit me that hard?" Genma complained, rubbing the back of his head.
"Why don't we go inside and find a table," Raidou offered, completely ignoring the other's whining.
"There's an empty table over there," Genma informed, nodding his head in the direction of the table.
The four made their way towards the mentioned table, twisting and turning every which way to avoid the numerous dancers. The bar was particularly lively- packed wall to wall with customers who just wanted to drink and dance their sorrows away. The seats were arranged along the edges of the room, allowing ample space in the center for people to party. On the opposite side of the main entrance against a purple wall was the bar isle, where the bartender stood, performing awe inspiring tricks to entertain his viewers. The servers delivered their customers' requests on rollerblades, occasionally rocking back and forth to the music and the rhythmic flashing of the neon lights.
"Well this place sure is something," Iruka mumbled, but it got lost in the heavy beat of the current song.
The four friends took their seat at a table off to the far right corner, and before long, a young woman with short, choppy, black hair approached them.
"My name's Kagame. What can I get you guys?" She asked, pulling out a notepad from her uniform's pocket.
"We'll have four Pelforth's," Genma responded, smiling kindly at the woman.
"No problem, it'll be out in a flash," Kagame said, turning around and skating off into the dancing crowd.
"Hey, Kakashi, I think that chick had her eyes on you. She was staring at you the entire time," Genma teased, making kissy faces at the silver haired man.
"Shut it, Genma," Iruka seethed, glaring daggers at the laughing man.
"Oh come on Iruka, you know I'm just joking," Genma chuckled out, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Yea, well I hope you choke on your senbon," Iruka retorted, huffing in frustration.
"You know you're the only one for me, 'Ruru," Kakashi cooed, wrapping an arm around the tanned man's waist and placing a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Get a room you two," Genma snickered.
"You should be one to talk," Raidou chided. "Weren't you the one who wanted to have "wild monkey sex" on our boss's desk? Tsunade would have fired us if she had found out!"
"You just got told by your boyfriend," Iruka said, snickering when Genma failed to make a rebuttal.
Iruka decided to rest his head on Kakashi's shoulder, closing his eyes as he listened to the song that was playing in the background.
"Here are your drinks," came a cheerful voice from out of the blue.
Iruka opened his eyes and looked at the girl, only to find her looking back at him. She glanced from him to Kakashi, and then back to him again. With an appalled look on her face, she grumbled an "enjoy," and left.
"Someone's on their rag," Iruka muttered, grabbing his glass and bringing it to his lips.
"Cheer up Iruka," Raidou said, swirling his drink around in his hand. "We came here to have fun, and that's just what we'll do, even if that means ignoring a few bitchy women."
The four laughed at Raidou's remark, and soon began conversing happily.
"So, have you two heard?" Genma inquired suddenly.
"Heard what?" Kakashi questioned, eying the man curiously.
"Well, with the current situation with the war. The Navy is going to begin recruiting all of its retired service members. That must suck for those people," Genma finished, looking down at the table.
Kakashi froze at what the brunet had just said, eyes growing wide and pale hands beginning to shake. Iruka noticed his love's sudden tensing, and looked up at him with a worried expression.
"Are you ok?" he queried, scanning the man up and down.
Kakashi blinked and averted his eyes down towards the tanned man, a small smile forming on his masked lips.
"Of course I am. I was just thinking about something," he answered, turning his attention back to Genma and Raidou. "That does sound horrible. I feel sorry for anyone who has to get called back into duty."
"Yea, that must be the worst feeling in the world," Iruka agreed, resuming his position once again; snuggled up against the older man's shoulder, a worried feeling still buried in the pit of his stomach.
Genma and Raidou exchanged a few glances, before they decided that it was time to leave.
"It's getting pretty late, we should probably head back," Raidou declared, rising from his seat.
The other three followed, leaving their money on the table for the waitress to collect. They made their way towards the front door, where they stood and said their good-byes.
"I hope we can do this again," Raidou said, hugging Iruka and Kakashi.
"Yea, that was fun," Iruka said, blushing as he admitted that.
'I can't believe I actually didn't want to go,' the school teacher chastised himself.
"Guess we'll see ya later," Genma yelled, waving good-bye as he pulled Raidou along with him.
"See ya!" Iruka and Kakashi shouted as they turned and began walking back towards their house.
The duo soon arrived home, remembering to open the door slowly, so not to wake up Sango. They tiptoed through the living room, laughing quietly when the dog began barking in her slumber. She proceeded to roll on her back, paws twitching furiously in the air.
"Someone's having a good dream," Kakashi mused, closing the door to their bedroom and flipping on the switch of the lamp on their nightstand.
"She's probably dreaming about chasing dogs, or playing with a bone or something," Iruka chuckled as he pulled his top over his head.
"I have a bone you could play with," the silver haired man sniggered, earning a glare and a shirt thrown in his face from the other.
"I swear, there's no off button on you," Iruka grumbled, taking off his jeans and pulling on a pair of black sweatpants.
"I can't help it when I'm around you," Kakashi defended, deciding to sleep in his green boxers. He crawled onto the bed, sprawling his limbs across the sheets in a lifeless manner. "You're my heroine."
The younger man chuckled as he crawled on top of his lover, nestling his head on the pale, chiseled chest beneath him. He inhaled the other's scent, fingers drawing lazy patterns across the taut flesh.
'What is that? Spice? It smells so musky and addictive…' Iruka pondered, letting his mind drift off, but it was soon brought back to the incident at the bar. 'I wonder what that whole thing at the bar was about. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.'
"Hey Kashi?" Iruka questioned, eyeing the man curiously.
"Hm?" the elder responded, shifting his gaze down towards the other.
"I was kind of curious about back at the bar, when you tensed up. You looked like you saw something horrible."
Kakashi's breath hitched slightly and he gulped loudly, hands beginning to shake again.
"Kakashi, you're shaking again. What's wrong?"
"When Genma mentioned the Navy situation, it brought back memories of my old friends. My feelings got the better of me. I'm sorry if I scared you." Kakashi apologized, bringing an arm around Iruka's waist and resting it on his back.
"I'm sorry," Iruka said meekly, burying his face in the broad chest, guilt washing over him.
"Come on, 'Ruru," Kakashi began, rubbing soothing circles on the bronzed back. "Do we really need to have this argument again? You and I both know that it wasn't your fault."
"I know," Iruka mumbled into the warm flesh. "I just feel so depressed when you're feeling down."
Kakashi smiled softly at the remark, moving his hand to play with his lover's hair.
"How do you think I feel when you're sad?"
Iruka lifted his head from the toned chest and looked the other in the eyes, before offering a small grin.
"All right, Kashi. I'll cheer up."
"Good."
Iruka slowly crawled up the other's torso and stopped when he was face to face with the silver haired man. He leaned in and pressed his lips tenderly against thin ones in a soft and loving kiss. He pulled away and gazed into mismatched eyes once more before lowering his head back onto the chest.
"Good-night Kashi," Iruka yawned, closing his eyes.
"Night 'Ruru, sweet dreams," Kakashi said, reaching over to turn the lamp off, before pulling his love closer against his body.
