A/N: Here, let me clarify exactly what day it is. I'm using 2004's December, so right now it's Thursday, December 16th. I have to slow down. I don't feel like I'm going to have enough chapters… not that I want a lot of chapters…
Chapter Eleven - Admittance
Iruka stood by the window, staring out at the carpet of snow that had hidden the sidewalk and streets. He then averted his gaze to the grown man playing in it. He shook his head with a scoff. It really was pathetic. Kakashi ran back into the house and Iruka turned away from the window. He took a seat on the bed and waited. It didn't take long for the veterinarian to appear in the doorway of the spare bedroom.
"Iruka--"
"There's no way in this lifetime or the next I'm going out there," the brunet said coldly.
Kakashi pouted and leaned against the doorframe. "It's fun, Iruka."
"Don't you have a clinic to run?"
"Only until the end of the week, and I doubt the roads are going to be shoveled by then."
"Why don't you go out and shovel it yourself?" Iruka sighed. He didn't want to go out there. He had no job, and with no work to preoccupy his mind, old memories would resurface.
"Why don't you help me?" Kakashi retorted with a bright smile. "Don't you have an inner child that wants to play and have fun?"
"I smothered it with my black heart. Now leave me alone." Iruka swung himself back into bed and stretched out. "Maybe I can try hibernating…" In truth, his inner child had passed away; it died along with his parents so many years ago in that fatal accident.
Kakashi entered the room, kneeling beside the bed, and took the younger man's hand in his own. "Please," he said in a husky voice, a sly smile tugging at his lips. "Help me make a snow angel."
"You're so pathetic," Iruka growled, yanking his hand away. "You're a child trapped in an old man's body. Get me a coat."
The veterinarian laughed, ignoring the "old" comment, and used his body weight to keep himself anchored on the floor. Every nerve in his body wanted to launch him onto the bed and place kisses all over his guest. Instead, he said "thank you" a multitude of times. He stood with Iruka and went ahead to find a coat for them both.
Once fully dressed, the men headed outside. Iruka stood on the stoop of the house and watched Kakashi launch himself into the snow once again. He wanted to go back inside where it was nice and toasty.
"Iruka!"
"What?" the brunet sighed in exasperation. He stepped down onto the white carpet and stood over the silver-haired man. He took the outstretched hand and, planting his feet firmly, yanked the other up from the snow angel design.
Kakashi stared at his work with a proud smile. "Now your turn," he said breathlessly.
"Why are you so dead set on making friends with me?" Iruka asked, glaring at the snow angel instead of at the man who made it. "I'm grateful for your hospitality--"
"Oh. We need to get more of your things," Kakashi interrupted. "I saw the picture you brought and thought--"
"Stop it! Stop being so damned nice."
"But Genma's nice to you."
Iruka's eyes widened and he snapped his mouth shut. "Shiranui Genma--nice to me? Ha!"
"He's your lover, isn't he? I assumed--"
"You assumed wrong!" They were the only two people out on the block so the young man felt it was safe to express himself to the fullest. "My life does not concern you, especially my love life! In fact, to make things easier... maybe I should just leave." Iruka turned and ran back into the house, slamming the door behind him.
Kakashi laughed softly and sank into the snow, lying on his back. "Wait. All I had to do was wait," he mumbled, berating himself. He closed his eyes and waited; he was waiting for the sounds of Iruka leaving him. Those sounds never came. With a grunt, he rose and headed inside without dusting off the snow. Kakashi found the young lawyer standing at the bottom of the carpeted stairs.
Iruka couldn't bring himself to step up. If he did, it would begin a slippery slope of events that might cause him to lose that small voice inside of him. It was unclear what the voice was saying, but it seemed important. "I want to get some of my clothes," the brunet said softly.
Kakashi smiled, his heart soaring. "We're going to have to walk," he said happily.
"Whatever. Let's go." Iruka turned without sparing the other man a glance and disappeared through the front door once again. Kakashi snatched up his keys from the rack on the wall and followed.
`-`-`-`-`-`
Genma stood before his students feeling slightly better than he had yesterday. The nurse's "operation" seemed to have been a success. As he dismissed the children for the afternoon, his gaze swept over the chair in the front row that had been empty during class; the one in the back row had also been empty. After sneezing into his tissue, Genma wondered how the two were faring. He'd been hearing about them all morning and thought it was amazing and still ironic how the world worked.
Naruto had never locked his door in the sixteen years of living in the orphanage, but he had last night. He wanted Sasuke to be able to have a proper rest. It was now going on two o'clock and the ebony-haired boy still slept. Naruto was trapped against him. Several times during the day he'd substituted himself with a pillow he had been keeping warm in order to relieve himself in the bathroom. 'Sasuke's bladder must be huge!'
Naruto was now lying on his back, arms tucked behind his head as he stared at the ceiling--they'd moved again. He listened to the other's rhythmic breathing, the only other sound in the room. Sasuke shifted once more in his sleep and draped an arm over the blonde's chest.
Naruto smiled and closed his eyes. When the sapphire blue orbs opened, they were staring up at the underside of Sasuke's jaw. Naruto yawned loudly and rolled over; his head fell from the other's lap. Naruto yawned again, but this time into his pillows. Why was he so tired now?
"Genma came looking for me while you were sleeping," Sasuke said softly as he leaned his back against the headboard. "He was trying to break your door down for having it locked and all the noise woke me."
"What did he want?" Naruto yawned again, trying to push himself into a kneeling position. He succeeded in getting his behind stuck in the air.
Sasuke pushed him over as he replied, "He wants to treat us to dinner."
"Dinner…" Naruto glanced at the clock on his dresser and laughed sheepishly. Apparently he had been even more tired than he'd thought; it was minutes to seven. He shrugged and sat up. Scooting to the side of the bed, he grabbed the edge of the mattress.
Sasuke listened to the other moan as various bones in his back popped in relief after he'd twisted his body as far as it could go. "Doesn't that hurt?"
Naruto grinned, shaking his head, and stood. "Actually, this way hurts a little, but it feels even better." With his arms stretched, he bent backwards as far as he could go until his lower back popped.
"You're strange," Sasuke sighed, standing. He unlocked the door and opened it. "Go shower. I'll tell Genma you're awake."
"Okay!"
People had begun emerging from their homes around noon and now, at evening, stood around in groups trying to find out exactly what places were open and when the streets would be plowed. But nonetheless, they all seemed happy to see the pure white substance.
Genma doubted the plows would open the streets until Friday. He glanced at the boys, more at the brunet. Sasuke still seemed a little unwilling to express himself to others, but Genma knew Naruto had managed to squeeze his way by the iron wall that was set up around the other boy. The Uchiha seemed to be holding his own against the endless chatter, though. "What do you boys want to eat?"
"Something greasy!" Naruto exclaimed. "I want a hamburger meal and a large pizza."
"I thought you only guzzled ramen," Genma said with a smirk.
"At the orphanage. I'm free now! And weren't you, Mr. Shiranui, the one who told me change is good?" The boy's bright eyes sparkled in good humor.
"What do you want to eat, Sasuke?" Genma asked the other, now ignoring the blonde.
The ebony-haired teenager stared at his boots, watching how they sank slightly into the snow with every step he took, and tried to remember. Even unlocking a memory of what he loved most was painful. "Chinese food," he replied softly.
"I know a great place," the man smiled. "Naruto, we'll get your hamburger meal on the way back."
"Uh-huh…" Naruto's mind was elsewhere. He stopped, knelt, and jabbed a finger into the snow. A slow grin spread across his face and he scooped up a handful, rounding it into a ball. Sasuke glanced behind him when he didn't hear the other's footsteps and became the first victim. The snowball hit him square in the face. Naruto didn't have time to laugh; Genma would be turning around soon. When he did, he received the same fate as the Uchiha. The blonde boy then collapsed into the snow in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
Genma stared at him then glanced at Sasuke. The boy glanced back and they both nodded. A snowball fight ensued between the three. It soon became a snowball war zone--children and adults alike joined them. Because of that, they didn't return to the orphanage until almost midnight.
As Genma entered his warm room to retire later that night, he was confident that he'd also made it by Sasuke's barriers.
