"Kakashi," Iruka moaned wantonly, a deep blush spread across his face as he stared at the man hovering above him, "please, I want you inside me, badly."

Kakashi gulped, almost loosing all control at the sight of the tanned man before him- his brown hair framing his delicate face, his chest rising up and down slowly with every breath, his flush lips parted slightly in a silent moan.

"Iruka..." the pale man breathed out, slowly pushing into the younger man beneath him, eliciting a cry of pleasure out of plump, delicious lips.

"Ah! Kakashi!" Iruka called out, back arching against the other as his fingers dug themselves into pale flesh.

Kakashi lowered his head towards his love's neck and gently bit down on a sensitive spot, causing the tanned man to whimper in delight.

"Are you ready?" Kakashi asked, nuzzling the slender neck.

"Yeah..." Iruka breathed out, mind almost drifting out of consciousness.

Kakashi began rocking his hips slowly into the other's warmth, relishing the feeling of the tight heat that was surrounding his aching need, grasping a small hip with one hand while he braced himself up with the other.

"So fucking good, 'Ruru," he groaned out, eyes half lidded with lust.

"'Kashi, faster," Iruka panted out.

Kakashi nooded and began speeding his pace up, to the point where he was forcefully slamming himself into the smaller body beow him.

"Fuck" he grunted, throwing his head back as a string of curses escaped his mouth.

"K-Kakashi, I'm gonna..." Iruka moaned out, fingers releasing their grip on pale flesh, only to entangle themselves into the silk sheets below. "Kakashi!"

Kakashi immediately sat up in his bed.

"Iruka?" he called out, glancing towards the left side of his bed, finding the space beside him empty. "It... it was just a dream." He looked at the clock. "Shit, it's still two am. I don't even feel like going back to bed after that episode."

"Ruff!" came a tiny voice, resembling the squeaking of a mouse.

"Pakkun?" Kakashi called out, chuckling softly when he saw the young pup staring at him on the ground. "How did you manage to fall off of the bed? I gave you more than enough room to sleep, haha. Come here." He picked Pakkun up and placed the dog on his lap, wincing when the dog's foot prodded against a sensitive area. "Damn, looks like that dream gave me more than a scare. Ok, gross thoughts, gross thoughts... um, Gai in a bikini? That's better." he placed the dog in his lap once again, and laughed when the bandanna wearing animal looked at him with confused eyes. "I'll explain to you when you're older," the silver haired male teased, ruffling the fur on the dog's head. "I wonder how Iruka's doing..."


"Thanks again, Tachibana, for letting me and Sango stay here," Iruka thanked for the thousandth time.

"Iruka, I told you that you can stop, haha. You know you're like a brother to me, and you already know I adore Sango, right girl?" The dog gave a happy bark and returned to exploring the new house, sniffing in between every nook and cranny. "I'm guessing that's a yes."

"Yeah..."

"Iruka, would you like to talk some more?" the blonde asked worriedly.

"No, I spent the last few hours doing that, and I think I just need a break... Oh who am I kidding? It's just that when I was with my parents for those few years before they died, they raised me to be a good and honest person. I honestly used to play pranks from dusk until dawn, wrecking everything in sight, but one day they sat me down and had a stern talk with me. They explained the positive aspects of virtue and of an overall good character. They also explained how honesty and faithfulness is the key to happiness; the reason as to why they were able to stay together for so long. I guess I was so inspired by them and their story that I began to heed to their rules. When they died I began living by those rules as if they were engraved into my heart and soul." Iruka whispered, with a sad, longing smile on his face. "Having all of these morals suddenly broken in front of me was too much to handle."

"I see," Tachibana said, folding his arms across his chest, "and how does that make you feel?"

"...What?"

"I saw this on T.V. before, so it has to work," the waiter explained, leaning back into his couch. "How does all of this make you feel? Can you describe the rush of emotions?"

"Well I feel hurt, confusion, rage and- and- Tachi, stop making that face!" Iruka demanded, covering his mouth in an attempt to hold back a laugh.

"What face? This is the face I make when I'm thinking!" Tahibana responded, screwing up his face once more.

"Haha, quit it!" Iruka exclaimed, burtsing out into a fit of giggles, falling onto his side in the sofa.

"Well I wasn't quite going for laughter, but that works too. I'm glad to be of help. Doctor Tachibana has worked a miracle once again."

"Doctor my ass. Anyways, I think I need some sleep. All of this drama has made me tired."

"Wait, before you go, tell me one thing. Do you think Kakashi san still has feelings of love for you?" Tachibana asked, eyeing the other with a serious look.

"Feelings? I don't know... I think maybe, but then again I-"

"Iruka, he was distressed before I left- honestly sorry. That was definitely not a false act. Before you decide your course of action towards all of this, I just want you to realize that the man still cares deeply about you, and that he's probably at home worried about you, ok? Please don't be too harsh towards him. I'd hate to see such a wonderful couple fall apart."

"Tachi I-"

"Iruka, please," the blonde pleaded desperately, "just try and consider it."


"Welcome home!" Tachibana greeted happily, waving at the tanned man from inside the kitchen. "How was your day?"

"Wow, you're awfully happy today. Hmm let's see, it's Monday so could it be that you got a raise? No too soon... nope, I got nothing," Iruka chuckled, placing his small bag on the floor by the door. "Well the kids kept bugging me today as to why Kakashi looked sad and I didn't want to explain everything to them, so I told them that it was a family affair. Naruto saw right through me, though, and he and Sasuke paid me a visit after school and kept prodding and prodding until I finally told them everything," the teacher finished, plopping himself onto the living room sofa.

"And what did they say?" Tachibana queried, balancing two bowls of steaming soup skilfully in his hands as he entered the living room, giving one to Iruka while taking the other and seating himself in a chair opposite the other.

"Well, they told me that deep down Kakashi is an amazing person, even though he fucked up big time, and that he cares deeply about me," Iruka sighed out. "Naruto also told me that Kakashi was so depressed that he didn't even train them properly at the dojo. He just made them do push ups and sit ups until it was time to go."

"You should visit him," the blonde stated blatantly, causing the other to almost choke on his soup. "I'm just saying, it'll do the man some good. Maybe you two could actually talk things out? And you could prevent him from going suicidal too."

"I don't think he'd go suicidal," Iruka responded.

"Have you seen the man's face recently? Try to imagine a kicked puppy combined with the news that "your parents died trying to drive to see your concert," with a sprinkle of "you have cancer," and a dash of "I hate you," and you have his face."

"Ouch... but I can't just drop by and- woah, woah, woah! You never told me why you were happy."

"Oh, I ran into Denji today at the supermarket," Tachibana exclaimed with a big, goofy smile. "I worked up the nerve to introduce myself, even though I stuttered a lot and sounded like a complete idiot. He told me that he thought that my actions were cute and wanted to know if I would like to go to the park with him sometime. I actually began choking on air at that moment, but I think he took that as a yes, 'cause he laughed and walked out of the store waving goodbye, with a smile on his face."

"You're such a dork, you know that," the tanned man bantered.

"Yeah, but enough about changing topics," Tachibana began, steering the conversation back on track, "about you and Kakashi..."

"Tachibana, it's only been a day since the incident, and I think it'd be best if a little time passed for things to cool down. I'll eventually confront him, though."

"You know, Kurenai and Anko figured things out, but not the rest of the group. They're both furious at Kakashi, but still believe that you two should talk things out."

"I know," Iruka breathed out, collecting the dishes while standing up to go and wash them, "I know."


"Sensei!" Naruto screamed, startling Kakashi, "get your ass out of the dojo and go apologize to Iruka sensei!"

"Naruto," Kakashi said calmly, "I'm cleaning up. Secondly, how do you know about this?"

"Duh," Naruto drawled out, "gay people have this sixth sense or something for this kind of stuff. Sasuke knows too, but he figured it out on his own. So when are you going to apologize?"

"Eventually," Kakashi answered, trying to restrain his conflicting emotions. "I think some time has to pass before I can talk to him without him trying to kill me," Kakashi finished, brushing off some dust from the equipment rack.

"You know, even though you did screw up big time, like solar system big, I still believe you're a good person at heart."

"Thanks Naruto," the pale man thanked, unsure of whether or not that was truly a compliment, "I think."

"A good person who made a dumb mistake," the blonde said, offering a soothing smile, trying to coax the other into smiling as well.

"Haha," Kakashi chuckled quietly, smiling ever so slightly. "I just hope he'll at least here my full side of the story."

"Trust me sensei, Iruka is extremely stubborn and furious in the first stages of his anger, but once he passes those, he'll mellow out and become open to reasoning."

"You're awfully wise for such a young person," the silver haired man commented, walking towards the doors, the blonde following close behind.

"Wise?" Naruto repeated, watching the other lock the bolts on the building. "Nah, it's just experience."

"Experience?"

"Yeah, you see, I used to live with Iruka sensei when I was way younger. He took me in and became a father to me. I moved out when I was old enough though, and then I ended up moving in with Sasuke. But when I was with sensei- man, he would never let a prank go unpunished. I remember one time, I drew graffiti on a statue, and he made me clean it up with nothing but a wash rag and some soapy water. He even refused to here my apologies!"

"That does sound like him," Kakashi whispered, turning a street corner as he continued walking towards his house. "I just hope Iruka simmers down by the time I approach him..."

Wow, a lot of persuading going on here, but will Iruka and Kakashi listen?
