Observation – Iruka, Kakashi, Gai
Iruka's chair wheeled across the room and stopped, curiously, just before the end of a bookshelf. Leaning back until the backrest tilted just enough, he peered around the edge.
There it was. What Izumo and Kotetsu were talking about...
The way Gai was leaning, putting an edge on his height that, despite the near exactness of his and his rival's heights, made him almost tower.
The way Kakashi shrugged, playfully, coyly?--Iruka considered the word a second--and how his smile quirked beneath the mask, visible only when the light caught the fabric just so.
The way Gai's brow arched at something particularly interesting Kakashi said, and his smile didn't quite look as much friendly as promising.
And Kakashi took a step closer, just a few centimeters more before he was into Gai's personal space...
"We're being watched," Gai said, looking a tad smug as he glanced over his shoulder towards the bookshelf. Iruka remained still.
"It took you this long to realize?" Kakashi replied coolly, with a confidence well honed.
And then Gai spazzed, his arms flailed a little, Kakashi took a step back to avoid being hit and relaxed into a slump, the effect was ruined, and Iruka wondered if he had seen anything there, really, at all.
