There may not be an update for a while after this. I want to make sure the story is perfect for you wonderful people!
Iruka sat on the floor of his classroom, angrily scrubbing the dirtied kunai and shrunken from todays exercise, he was slowly teaching the children to take care of their own weapons; unfortunately, they did a terrible job, and poor Iruka was stuck after school hours scrubbing furiously so they could be used again another day.
The reason the weapons were undergoing such a furious cleaning was the fact that after Kakashi had shocked the poor man with his sexual preference, he had up and left! And just a day after that, Iruka had realized that there was only one man that could have been writing those notes, and kept sending him those flowers. The Kunai that was stuck in his wall could only belong to one person … and the man had up and disappeared!
There had been a promise of another day out and about, but Kakashi was nowhere to be seen. Over the next two weeks, Iruka, nor anyone else in the entire town, had seen Kakashi, or known about his where abouts. Was he running away from Iruka and the situation he had created? Was it that Kakashi couldn't stand to be around Iruka any longer? These thoughts only made Iruka scrub harder.
And Kakashi didn't just leave. He left Iruka with far to many thoughts to sort out on his own. Iruka's number one question, why?
Why was Kakashi doing this. Why would he leave him flowers, those romantic notes? Looking back, it made sense, Kakashi wanting to spend time with him just slightly after his secret admirer appeared. But why?
Kakashi was a lone wolf. He often told others he needed no friends, no lover. He was known for his one night stands, and his amazing stories about sneaking out of windows and other odd places before his lovers woke up. Why would such a man want to woo Iruka? Did Kakashi only want sex?
Thinking about it only made Iruka more confused. Did Kakashi only do those things to keep up his reputation? If he was being truthful about being gay then…
Iruka threw one of the clean Kunai towards the other end of the room. "Dammit" He spoke to himself quietly before getting up to get the Kunai.
Kakashi had been on his mission for a long time. He was unsure of how long, the time never mattered for him on a mission, just getting threw with the least amount of damage. He checked in with the Hokoge first, giving an oral report before making his way home as quickly as possible. It had been so long since he had seen Iruka, and right now, he wanted nothing more than to embrace the man.
He showered quickly, picking out some civilian clothes before seeking out the teacher. He wasn't at the missions room, nor was he at home. School had ended hours ago. Kakashi was frustrated. It had been a long time since he had feared death, but during this mission the fact the he might die without getting to say a real goodbye to the beautiful man, or not tell him how he really felt. The mission had felt like an eternity, and all he wanted right now was Iruka.
He tried the school, the only place the teacher could possibly be, even if school had ended hours ago. And there he was, sitting on the floor looking generally displeased with the small weapon in his hands. Kakashi opened the window quietly, slipping threw and walking slowly towards the teacher. "Maa Sensei need some help?" he spoke quietly.
"Kakashi-san!" Iruka almost jumped up, the Kunai in his hand dropping to the floor. So many expressions danced across the mans face before settling on anger, oh boy.
"Kakashi-san … so nice of you to finally grace me with your presence." the last part of the sentence was said with such anger, and sarcasm, that Kakashi took a step back.
"Iruka … Iruka I'm sorry. I got called away on a mission…" He sat down and took a Shrurikin from the pile of dirty weapons, taking a spare rag from his pocket and helping Iruka.
Iruka noticed two things in that statement. One, how easy it was that time for Kakashi to apologize. Usually the man did every thing in his power to avoid giving apologies. And the fact that Kakashi had apologized without any hesitation, said something about how the man really felt. And secondly, was the lack of honorifics.
"Really Iruka-sensei. I had a mission … you know how these things go …"
Iruka smiled, all anger seemly melting away. "If you help me finish these up we can go out for a drink Kakashi-san."
They cleaned the weapons in silence. Neither man knowing how to continue. Kakashi, wondering how he was going to work his confession into conversation, and Iruka wondering how to bring up his knowledge of his secret admirer.
They were down to the last two kunai, Kakashi finishing his first and put it down. It was now or never for Kakashi. As Iruka finished his last Kunai, Kakashi spoke up. "Iruka-sensei. I need you to listen to me … really listen." He sighed looking at his hands. Iruka put the weapon down, his eyes fixed on Kakashi, waiting for him. "Iruka-sensei, I like you." He fidgeted around while he searched for more words. "I really like you Iruka. So much that I actually want a real relationship, and not just a one night lover. And I need you to know." He finished quietly, looking up to Iruka for the first time since saying those dangerous words.
Iruka was frozen from the shock. Kakashi … liked him. The lone wolf, no needing friends, heart of stone Hatake Kakashi liked him. Not just wanting to have sex with him, wanting to be with him. How was he supposed to act?
"Please Sensei… say something?"
Please? The man was begging now? "Kakashi-san I don't… I don't know… what to say."
Kakashi felt those words like the weight of the world, crushing his entire being. "Well… I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you Sensei." Oh sarcasm. Kakashi's best security blanket, Protecting him from pain. But it wasn't enough, the fact that the thought of crying even crossed his mind, spoke of just how terribly this hurt him. Kakashi stood up, walking a few steps away from Iruka, trying to hide his pain.
He heard Iruka stand from behind him, taking the same couple of steps till he could feel the man almost right behind him. "It's not that I'm not Interested Kakashi-san..." Iruka's voice was so low Kakashi almost didn't hear the sentence.
"Well… then what is it Iruka!" Kakashi turned around quickly and stepped towards the teacher, hope springing back up inside him.
Iruka took a few steps backwards, nervous, almost scared by what was happening, Kakashi matching his every step, like a dance unknown to either. Kakashi backed Iruka right up against the cupboard, one arm flat against the cupboard, right beside Iruka's head.
"Then what's holding you back Iruka." The man looked down, not wanting to look Kakashi in the eye. "Iruka, you said you were interested-"
Iruka cut him off. "Shut up you oaf. Let me think."
"What's there to think about? You either like me or you don't. That's It!"
Iruka sighed, finally looking up at Kakashi. "It's not that I'm not interested in… what ever this will become… I just… your incredibly frustrating Kakashi." The teacher grunted in frustration.
"What do you mean you can't-" He was interrupted once again.
"See! Your just so… One minute your cool and indifferent, the next your agitated. You can be completely serious and intelligent one moment, then switch to childish and adorable the next… I'm just not sure I'll be able to keep up with you." Iruka looked away again, and Kakashi was speechless. "I just don't want to be left behind…"
Kakashi felt himself smile. There was hope. He used the hand not on the cupboard and pulled Iruka's chin up so that he could look the man in the eye. "So… so we can… me and you?" Kakashi had never felt so lost of words, so out of control in his own brain. break
"let's just… take everything very… very slowly. And see how it goes. You're a man who likes to think on his feet, right Kakashi-san?"
Kakashi felt himself smile again. He leaned forwards slightly and kissed the trapped Chunin. His mask was up, be he could still feel the warmth of Iruka threw the cloth.
And he wanted more.
"Close your eyes Iruka-kun." And Iruka did. Without a second of thought, the teachers eyes slid shut, slightly nervous about what he knew was about to happen. Kakashi smiled, the hand on Iruka's chin leaving and pulling his mask down his face.
Having Iruka in front of him, eyes closed, practically waiting for him was one of the best sights he'd ever seen. Kakashi wasted no time taking what he had been waiting for, leaning forwards and crushing his lips to Iruka's soft ones.
Both of the men felt the electric shock of the kiss, Kakashi stepped forwards, pressing his body against Iruka's, as the teachers hands surrendered and wrapped around Kakashi's neck. Kakashi's tongue pushed past Iruka's meagre defences, his tongue desperately coaxing Iruka's own into reciprocating the action.
Iruka had never felt so taken in his life. The way Kakashi was pressed up against him, the dominating edge; and the fact he was blind to it all, made it that much better. Iruka knew that Kakashi had a reputation as a ladies man but really, the man could fucking kiss. Iruka would be perfectly fine kissing Kakashi for the rest of his life.
There was a quick intake of breath as Kakashi's free hand found Iruka's hips, the fingers finding their way underneath clothing, Kakashi's cold fingers resting against the skin on his hip. Iruka wasn't sure what to make of the kiss. He knew he enjoyed it. Damn he was enjoying it more he thought he would, but ultimately Kakashi was a male, not that Iruka was a homophobe, he was just… unsure of how this would all turn out.
But then Kakashi was gone, pulling away. Iruka kept his eyes closed so Kakashi had time to pull his mask up. Both were breathing raggedly, something Iruka was a tad excited about.
"You can open them Iruka-kun." Iruka opened his eyes, the faintest bit of blush could be seen in Kakashi's face, Iruka was sure he was also very flush as bit his lip. "Was that ok?" Kakashi asked curiously. He just nodded in reply, not having any words at this moment. Iruka could tell the man was smiling behind the mask.
"We're moving slowly right Iruka?" He leaned away from the teacher slightly. "Let me take you to dinner. A real date."
OH MY GOSH! DATE! XD
