Chapter 7

Hello again. It's me, the author (no duh). I updated some of the other chapters because I just re-read them and there were quite a lot of mistakes heh heh. I was a little embarrassed so I changed them. No more repetition of lines or words missed out! No more repetition of lines or missed out!

Enjoy!

"BWA hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Kakashi had fallen off his chair and was now rolling on the ground, crying. Not only had he just seen Naruto on stage in a dress but he had also seen Iruka's reaction to Naruto on stage in a dress. Although the dress was expected the rather 'suggestive' movements, were not.

"Oh do shut up Kakashi-san!" Iruka had clearly recovered. Kakashi wiped the tears from his eyes. Iruka was sitting up, quite primly, in his seat with his lips like a cat's bottom. The masked ninja used him as a prop to stand up. This clearly annoyed Iruka.

"Don't be so uptight Iruka. If the wind changes, your face will be stuck like that." He was rewarded with a glare.

"Aren't you even a little ashamed? How can you laugh so callousely at your student? AND you've been laughing the entire time! It's shameful."

"Hey, you asked me to go with you."

The previous day

Iruka and Kakashi were having another coffee chat. They had been having them frequently after that day with the dresses. Kakashi had spotted a V Day advertisement and they were discussing the pro's and con's of the event.

"I mean, on one hand it brings trade to Konoha but on the other it clogs up the streets…"

"Kakashi-san?!" Iruka didn't usually interupt so naturally Kakashi was shocked.

"Yes, Iruka-kun?" He was intrigued by the blush that was spreading across the scarred face of the chuunin.

"Um..ah,well…would you,um, like to, ah, go to V Day,umahwthem?" Kakashi could have fainted. Iruka was asking him on a date?Although the words were mushed together it was obvious what the chuunin had wanted to express. He leaned forward.

"Are you, Umino Iruka, asking me, Hatake Kakashi, on a date?" he smirked. Iruka looked up in shock, pink spreading across his face.

"No no no I just..as friends…because, well, every one is on missions and you know..to go on your own…um. And we have to…support Naruto and you know" Oh Kakashi knew. Inner Kakashi did a wee victory dance. He placed a hand on Iruka's.

"Of course I'd like to go with you." He winked. "We can't let Naruto be alone now can we?" He could practically feel the heat off Iruka's face. 'Handy in winter' he thought.

Iruka turned away.

"Well, now I'm regettting that decision." Kakashi's heart dropped a little. He laid a hand on Iruka's arm.

"Really?" His plea was so earnest Iruka's heart softened. 'He's kind of cute when he's worried.' he thought. He decided to forgive him.

"No, I'm not. I've actually really enjoyed myself, thankyou." He couldn't resist smiling as Kakashi's face lit up, even with the mask. Iruka didn't realise he was staring until Kakshi asked,

"Something on my mask?" coughing to cover up his embarressment, Iruka shook his head. His head was all fuzzy with Kakashi's presence. 'I can't believe I let myself do that. There is no way he is seriously interested in me.' He turned his attention back to the stage, furiously trying to de-fuzz his brain. Unfortunately the 'fuzzer' wouldn't let up. The masked ninja cupped Iruka's face with his hand, turning it to face him. Iruka felt his face heat up.

"Wha.." but he stopped. Kakashi was staring at him with such a heated intensity he suddenly lost all ability to move or think. All he could do was stare into that incredibly sexy eye. And the eye was coming closer.

Kakashi stopped his face just short of brushing lips with Iruka. He inspected the other mans mouth. His lips were partly open and his breathing was fluttery. Looking up into Iruka's face, Kakashi saw that the chuunin's eyes were almost fully closed, eyelids fluttering like his breath, and his face was a rosey colour. 'Hmmm' he thought. 'Time to take this to the next volume*'.

"Iruka?" he whispered huskily.

"Iruka?" came the incredibly deep and sexy voice. Iruka could have melted right then and there. He looked up into Kakashi's grey orb (quite longingly in Kakashi's opinion).

"Yyes?" he ashed tentatively. He swore he saw a playful glimmer in the jounin's eye and the shadow of a smirk before he pulled away suddenly, leaving Iruka feeling used, confused and quite a bit embarrassed. He suppressed a pouty glare as he looked up at the now stretching ninja.

Kakashi giggled inwardly. Iruka was glaring at him while failing to hide a pout. 'So cute.' He thought. He appreciated the sight for a while, pretending to stretch. Then he decided to end poor little confused Iruka's misery.

"I'm a little bored of watching this. Want to come back to my place so we can do something more….fun?" He smiled at his use of a delicious pause. 'Now we wait.'

He couldn't help it. He was pulled in hook, line and sinker. His head was still fuzzy from the near kiss and he wasn't thinking straight. Seeing the white haired man extend those muscular arms. Hearing that slight pause. The seductive tone. The suggestion behind the word 'fun'. He couldn't help it.

"Yes."

Ooh I am on a role. Two chapters in two days! Wow. I just hope they are good. But what 'fun' should they have? It is only a T rated fic. Hmmmm

*Kakashi reads Icha Icha so much he now thinks of relationships in terms of 'volumes' instead of stages.
