The next day Iruka came to school early as usual. Kakashi had distracted him, so he still hadn’t finished filing the paperwork from his students. He was organizing the paperwork by class and last name, giving each student a folder for their work. Partway through his filing he stopped and looked at the chair that was still sitting there from Kakashi’s visit the previous day. Iruka sighed thinking about how he really wished that Kakashi hadn’t left so suddenly. It confused him, but as long as the older man talked to him today he was sure that it was nothing to worry about.

The warning bell rang out as students started to trickle in to their seats. Iruka put away the last of his student folders as he noticed Kakashi across the hall. He was ready to wave to the other teacher, but Kakashi never turned toward his door, disappointing Iruka, miserable as he went on to teach his class.

The day continued on much like the morning had. When it came to lunch Iruka walked over to Kakashi’s room, only to find it already locked up. “I guess he must already be over at the cafeteria...” Iruka mumbled to himself, walking alone to the Teacher’s Lounge. When he got inside he looked around searching for the silver haired teacher, finding him nowhere around. Finally giving up when Asuma and Kurenai flagged him down.

Iruka ate his lunch silently, letting the happy couple entertain themselves. The lunch period went by slowly, Iruka perking up anytime he heard the door open, hoping that Kakashi would just walk in late. Kurenai noticed Iruka’s downtrodden mood, “Are you ok Iruka? You look worse than you did yesterday morning.” He looked up at her, barely having the energy to talk, “Yeah, just missing Naruto still,” He lied, not sure of anything with Kakashi enough to mention it.

“Ohh you’ll be fine, Shika headed off to school this year too, so I know what you’re going through.” Asuma said putting a hand on Iruka’s shoulder attempting to comfort him.

“That’s nothing a like,” Kurenai whispered to Asuma, “Shikamaru was pushed to go to college, and he’s not your only family, you aren’t even related to the kid.”

“Shh, I was trying to help. Don’t make me look bad.” Asuma whispered louder.

Iruka just ignored them, ready to head back to his class. He waved at the two still arguing, as he threw out his uneaten lunch and walked back to his room, speeding up as he got closer hoping Kakashi was back in his own room.

Iruka huffed, out of breath just short of sprinting back to his room, but he wasn’t in any luck as Kakashi’s room was still closed up. He sighed again unlocking his own room and plopping down in his chair. The bell rung, signaling all the students and teachers back to their daily grind. Iruka soon noticed that Kakashi’s door was open again, as he got up from his seat, heading for the door, just begging for a glimpse of the man that had captured his attention.

Kakashi stood at the door, collecting paperwork from his students as they entered his class. The teacher looked up noticing Iruka before looking away abruptly, avoiding eye contact. Iruka grew angry at his behavior, if Kakashi was going to avoid him, he at least had to know why. He started towards the other teacher when the bell rung again for the start of class, ruining his plans once again.

Iruka sat down as he told his students to get some of their reading done, he himself was working on a plan to force Kakashi to talk to him as soon as school was out.

The last bell rang, sending students on their way to freedom. Iruka quickly left his room and watched the students file out from across the way. He watched the last student head towards the door, quickly sneaking into Kakashi’s classroom as she left. He pulled the door closed behind him as he stalked over to Kakashi’s desk. “Why are you ignoring me? If I did something, you should tell me not avoid me!” Iruka said as he firmly planted his hands on the desk and leaned in towards Kakashi’s face.

Kakashi, who had barely noticed the man enter, pushed away from the desk a bit, “I’m not ignoring you, and you didn’t do anything wrong.” He said as he tried to smile for Iruka.

“That wont work this time. It’s only the second day and I’ve barely seen you at all, and when you caught my eye after lunch you purposefully looked away.” Iruka huffed as his cheeks turned pink, from a little bit of anger and embarrassment.

Kakashi looked Iruka in the eyes before looking away, “I just know I was a little forward yesterday, and didn’t want you to be upset with me.”

“Upset with you?” Iruka asked confused, “I thought you were upset with me,” He mumbled barely loud enough to hear.

“You didn’t do anything to upset me,” Kakashi said as he stood up to look Iruka eye-to-eye for the first time that day. There was a flash of ferocity in his eyes, as Iruka startled a bit in surprise.

“Umm ok, well I guess…” Iruka stuttered, as he headed back towards the door, “I’ll talk to you tom-“ As Iruka grabbed the handle to the door he was stopped with a hand resting on his, and another on the door itself near his face.

“Did something scare you Iruka?” Kakashi teased, whispering into Iruka’s ear.

Iruka shivered, unable to move at all, “No… I…I’ve just got some work to finish up,” He mumbled out.

“What was that? I couldn’t hear you.” Kakashi said as he took his hand off of Iruka’s and softly turned Iruka’s head toward his own. Iruka shut his eyes tight, not ready for another fierce glance from the man. “I’m not that scary am I?” There was silence, but Iruka started moving his head side-to-side, “No,” He said as he forced his eyes open.

They were met with the kind eyes that Iruka remembered from yesterday. Iruka smiled, feeling a little better, although a little ashamed of his behavior.

“It seems like I’m doing it again,” Kakashi said, as he leaned toward Iruka. Iruka’s eyes grew wide as Kakashi kissed him on the cheek. “I’m sorry to be too forward, but I still mean what I said yesterday. I want to know more about you.” Kakashi whispered in Iruka’s ear as he pulled away from their simple embrace.

Iruka stood still staring at Kakashi, he closed his eyes breaking the contact this time as he rushed out the door and back to his own room. Closing the door, he sat as his desk, sighing in contentment.

He really was on his way to something, but was he ready for it? Iruka was trying to decide, but knew that he was happy regardless.

~~~

“How have your classes been going?” Iruka asked as he juggled his phone and a plate of food, walking towards the couch.

“Not too bad, Sasuke’s been helping me get my work done on time.” Naruto’s voice came through the speaker.

“One would think you were good with that part by now, everyone knows that I never let you get away with not turning in work.” Iruka said as he placed his plate of food on the coffee table that sat in front of him.

“Hehe,” Naruto chuckled through the phone, “Well of course you wouldn’t, and you’re staying that way to the rest of the students aren’t you?”

Iruka smiled, “Well it has only been a week of school here, so I haven’t had much for them to turn in yet.” Iruka and Naruto were silent for a bit, “You know if you ever want to come home for the weekend I’ll come get you, right?”

Iruka heard a sigh from Naruto, “Of course I know that, you’ve told me every time we talk. And as I said all those other time, if I really want, I’ve got Sasuke here to drive back if we want, it’ll be less out of your way.” There was silence again as Iruka thought about how the next few years would be just like this. Naruto’s voice came through once again, “And I’m still coming home for Thanksgiving, so you know you’ll at least get to see me then.” Naruto knew that Iruka was lonely, but he was hoping that it wouldn’t be for long.

“Yeah I know, so have….

Their conversation continued on Iruka just happy to get the chance to talk to his brother, knowing more about what he was missing every minute.

“So is there anybody new at school?” Naruto asked, shocking Iruka into silence.

Iruka thought about Kakashi, and their interactions since they’d met. Although the kiss was the most that had happened they’d still hung out though the rest of the week, mostly for lunches, where Iruka got the chance to listen to more stories about Kakashi.

Kakashi hadn’t ignored him since the incident and they hadn’t really been alone since then.

“Iruka?” Naruto’s worried voice filtered into Iruka’s ear.

“Ohh, yeah we’ve got one new teacher. He’s teaching the Japanese classes. He’s just across the hall so we’ve gotten the chance to talk a few times this week.” Iruka said skimming the truth of how much he knew Kakashi.

“Cool, maybe I’ll come with you to school sometime when I’m home to meet him,” Naruto said, he’d actually made pretty good friends with some of the teachers that really liked Iruka, and was sure this new teacher wasn’t much different.

“Yeah, I’m sure he’d like you.” Iruka said, not really sure if that was true of not.

“Well I’ve got to go, you know class in the morning.” Naruto said disappointed, “Maybe I shouldn’t let Sasuke make my schedule next semester,”

Iruka laughed with him, “Sleep well Naruto, I’ll talk to you later.”

“Later!” Naruto hung up as Iruka pulled the phone from his ear. He turned it off before he picked up his food and started eating it.

The thought was stuck in his head now, if he did pursue this relationship, what would Kakashi and Naruto think of each other. “I guess that doesn’t really matter unless something actually happens,” Iruka thought out loud.

~~~

Monday came around, students already groaning at the loss of their weekends, and it was barely a week into school. Iruka stood at his door talking with some of the students that had come to visit. Most of them were older students that had him in a previous year, telling him how much they wanted to go back to his class. He laughed, waving at some of the younger students whom he’d known because of their siblings.

Kakashi stood by his door watching the other teacher interact with the students. The smile on Iruka’s face told him everything about the man, how much he cared for his students, every single one of them.

Iruka felt the eyes upon him, looking instantly across the hallway to catch Kakashi staring at him, soft smile upon his face. They caught each others eyes, time stopping for just a moment, soon Iruka snapped his head forward, blushing from the intense connection. The grin on Kakashi’s face grew, quite pleased with the effect he was having on the other teacher.

When lunch rolled around Kakashi stood by Iruka’s door, nodding to the students as they left the classroom. When the teachers were left alone Kakashi made his way to Iruka’s desk. “Would you like to join me for lunch, Iruka?” Kakashi asked smiling. Iruka glanced up quickly, “Umm, sure.”

He grabbed his lunch following Kakashi towards the teachers lounge, or so he thought, but they stopped out in the hallway seconds later.

“What’s wrong?” Iruka questioned the sudden stop.

“Nothing much,” Kakashi responded as he ended up turning around and heading back to his own classroom.

Iruka looked puzzled for a moment thinking that Kakashi had just left something in the room. A moment later Kakashi called to Iruka, “Come here,” He said beckoning Iruka towards the classroom behind him.

Iruka dumbfounded, walked towards Kakashi waiting to learn what was going on. When he got within arms reach Kakashi grabbed onto Iruka’s wrist pulling him inside the class. Kakashi smoothly closed the door behind them, locking it unnoticed by his companion.

Kakashi pulled a chair up next to his desk, patting on the seat to signal Iruka to sit down. “I wanted the chance to get to talk to just you,” Kakashi said explaining himself.

Iruka wasn’t sure what to say, “What do you want to talk about?” he said pulling out his food.

“Anything you’re willing to tell me, about…you,” Kakashi sat back in his chair watching Iruka intently.

“I’m not all that interesting,” Iruka protested the sudden interest, nervously rubbing the scar across his nose.

“Well I think, anything about you is interesting to me.”

Iruka was speechless, “I…Me?” Kakashi stayed where he was, simply nodding to the other teacher.

He closed his eyes thinking about what most people want to know with a first introduction and started out. “My name’s Iruka Umino, I’m 29 years old. I’ve been teaching for about 8 years now. My parents died when I was 11 years old. I have one family member, Naruto. And my favorite food is Ramen.” Iruka finally took a breath opening a single eye to see if his response was what Kakashi had been asking for.

Kakashi held his position still, trying to not to laugh at the very conditioned information from Iruka.

“What? I told you something about myself.” Iruka said confused, at which Kakashi started chuckling audibly.

“You didn’t need to be so nervous, how about a few other simple things? I’ll ask the questions this time.” He replied flashing his smile once again for Iruka. “Mmm, Lets see… Do you have a favorite animal?”

The question was a little trivial, but admittedly one that most people could easily answer, “Well I don’t know about favorite, but I have always favored dolphins, it kind of goes with being named after them.” He felt a little childish, but it kept him connected to his family.

“Well they’re quite beautiful creatures. So…When’s your birthday?”

Iruka blushed lightly at that, he didn’t exactly see that as an everyday question, but was willing to answer the teacher regardless, “It’s May 26^th, and when’s yours?” he responded with something he’d expect someone to ask back.

“September 15^th,” Kakashi responded immediately, pausing before he got an idea, “Did you want to join me for dinner this weekend for it?”

Iruka looked at Kakashi for a moment processing what he’d said, “Are you having a party?”

“No,” Kakashi replied, giving Iruka the chance to work it out.

“Then what do you mean?” Iruka thought he’d gotten the idea of it, but didn’t feel comfortable jumping to any conclusions.

Kakashi sighed, hoping that Iruka would have gotten the hint, but didn’t want to waste all their time on this, “I was asking you out on a date.”

Again confused by the man Iruka had to question Kakashi, “Why would you ask me on a date for your birthday? Wouldn’t a party be better, or someone else?”

“It’s my birthday, shouldn’t I get to decide who I get to spend it with?” Kakashi asked irritated that Iruka wouldn’t value himself as much as others did. The brunette simply nodded in agreement. “And I want to spend it with someone I like, which means you. Will you come?”

For a second time Iruka just nodded.

Kakashi stopped for a moment letting it sink into Iruka’s head, “You do know what I mean when I say like… right?” He asked, not giving the other man the chance to skew this in his head.

“Maybe, as in good friend to hang out with like?” Iruka knew he was playing oblivious, with maybe a touch of actual obliviousness mixed in. He just wasn’t expecting any of this. Sure he’d been attracted to the man as well as obsessively fascinated by him, but he didn’t expect it to really come back towards him.

Kakashi glanced towards the door before looking back at Iruka. He got up from his seat still hunched over a bit getting closer to the brunette. He steadied himself, as he was inches from Iruka’s face. Eyes wide, the younger man sat motionless, though as the distance closed he relaxed, eyes fluttering shut. They grew closer both moving inward, until the moment their lips touched. It was a simple kiss, lips barely parting, but Kakashi restrained himself as he gently pulled away.

“That kind of like,” He said, smile returning to his face. Iruka’s face was red, elated that everything he felt wasn’t one-sided.

A ring or the bell came seconds later, lessening the mood in the room. Iruka leaped up instantly, grabbing the lunch that was left mostly uneaten. Kakashi opened the door for him as he watched Iruka cross the hallway to his own door. He looked back, Kakashi smiling as he waved at his own door. Iruka blushed lightly, putting his hand up to acknowledge Kakashi’s wave before entering his own classroom.

~~~

It was Saturday night; Kakashi had worked out the details with Iruka of picking him for their date. Kakashi hadn’t told him where, just that it might be something to dress up for a little bit. Iruka didn’t even know what he had to wear for something nice like a dress up dinner. He had occasional nice clothes when he’d been forced too, but he wasn’t even sure if they’d still look good on him.

Iruka stood looking at his clothes for a moment thinking about the styles he saw every so often while he’d been out, or on TV. He usually wasn’t adept at picking them up, but if he thought about it he was sure he could think of something.

He grabbed one of the mostly plain t-shirts he’d had hidden in his closet, often worn on the weekends. It had been his sports jacket that really caught his eye for the outfit, a simple black coat that he’d gotten to take Naruto out after graduation. Pulling out a dark pair of jeans from his dresser, Iruka put the outfit on all together. The maroon colored v-neck, a dark blue wash of jean, and the black sports jacket. Together they fit the bill of being dressed up, but wasn’t quite to the suit and tie level. He looked in the mirror feeling not too bad about how it all came out for such a last minute put together.

His eyes wandered up and down, examining the overall look, as they got to the top his eyes settled on his ponytail. He’d never quite known what to do with his hair, especially for anything dressy. He let down his hair, brushing it one more time hoping it would be good enough. Iruka looked at his hair for a moment as it sat down at his shoulders, getting an idea for it, something he’d see a student do with their hair. He took his thumbs, hooking them in his hair just at his ear level, pulling the top layer of hair back into a small ponytail. Grabbing his hair with one hand, Iruka reached for a hair tie with the other. He wrapped the hair in the band a few times just enough to get it to stay.

He looked again at the mirror, it didn’t quite feel right, but that was probably just because he was so used to his normal ponytail instead of this Pollyanna. A knock came from the door, Iruka glanced at himself once again, before heading towards the door. “It’ll have to do,” He said to himself as he opened the door for his guest.

“What’ll have to do?” Kakashi asked looking at his date. Iruka took a survey of Kakashi’s outfit as he invited the man in. He was wearing a black pair of jeans with a turquoise dress shirt. With it he wore a slack white tie, and a short black pinstripe vest that hung open. Kakashi looked Iruka in the eyes, “If you were talking about yourself, you look more than wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with you as my date.”

A pink hue came over Iruka’s face, something that seemed to happen a little too often around this man. “Are you ready?” Kakashi asked, breaking the silence between them.

Iruka looked down, “Not quite, but it shouldn’t be much.” He said as he walked back into his room to put his socks and shoes on. He looked at himself in his mirror one last time, “I guess it doesn’t look too bad,” He mumbled to himself as he smiled to head back out to Kakashi. Iruka grabbed his keys and his wallet, stuffing them into his jeans as they walked out the door.

~~~

When they returned from dinner Iruka invited Kakashi in continuing their discussion from the car.

“Yeah well, you know tricksters, they do anything to get attention. Naruto’s gotten much better about it, but he’d even do it to me. Not that he really needed my attention in school.” Kakashi smiled, the majority of their conversation had included the boy. He walked over to the mantle across from the couch that Iruka settled down on, who pulled off his jacket to be more comfortable. Upon the mantle sat a few images, ranging from birthdays, to what he assumed was the recent graduation. Kakashi picked the graduation photo up and sat down next to Iruka.

“You guys don’t look a like at all,” He paused while Iruka looked at him skeptically, “But… you obviously care about him more than some families I know.” Iruka took a hold of the photo that Kakashi had grabbed, looking at it remembering every detail of Naruto’s crushing hug as his best friend Sasuke took the picture of them.

Iruka took the photo away, standing up to take it back to the mantle where it had been sitting, “I’ll be right back,” Iruka said as he disappeared from the living room.

Kakashi couldn’t help but look around, the room was modestly decorated, the photos, curtains, a rug. He wondered how hard Iruka had worked for his brother.

“Here,” Iruka said coming back into the living room with a small box. It had a bit of ribbon holding the unwrapped box closed. Kakashi looked up slightly confused, but started to untie the bow. He lifted the lid, pulling out a black scarf from the box.

“Happy Birthday, You said something about not being used to being this north. I thought you might like this in a few months when it gets colder.” Iruka said as he sat back down next to Kakashi. Kakashi picked up the scarf wrapping it around his neck, not exactly sure how to wear a scarf. Iruka laughing at the older man. He took off the scarf before rewrapping it in a way that fit the man better. He fluffed the wrap up just enough that it covered Kakashi’s mouth.

“You look a little mysterious now, but it’s nice thinking that I might be the only one seeing that smile of yours.” Iruka smiled hoping Kakashi was ok with his sense of humor. Kakashi stayed with a blank stare, as Iruka’s laugher died in fear of Kakashi’s irritation at him. The silver haired man leaned over Iruka, pushing him down on the couch. He hooked a finger on the scarf pulling it down as he leaned in to kiss the smaller man on the lips. Iruka smiled, closing his eyes as he reached around Kakashi to hold him.

Their lips met, instantly parting to share a deeper kiss. Kakashi’s tongue lapped out to catch the younger man’s lips. He memorized the shape of the other’s mouth from corner to corner, before slipping the tongue deeper into the warmth. Their tongues met in Iruka’s warm mouth, touching each other tenderly, twisting around one another. Kakashi slipped his hands under Iruka’s shirt, feeling up the man’s back before continuing on to explore his chest.

When hands flicked across nipples a moan escaped, muffled in the kiss that seemed never-ending. Kakashi’s hands continued to move on their path, discovering lower and lower, reaching the obstacle of Iruka’s pants. He slipped his fingertips into the waistband of the jeans, about to continue in further until Iruka stopped. He broke the kiss, and pulled his hands around to lightly push Kakashi away. He waited until Kakashi pulled his hands free sitting up still facing Iruka, he got close to Kakashi’s ear holding the man’s head still. “Just because I like you, doesn’t make me easy.”

Iruka let go, sitting up next to the somewhat miffed Kakashi. He held a hand to Kakashi’s jaw, as he leaned in for a soft kiss, “It doesn’t mean never, just not on a first date.” He said looking earnestly into Kakashi’s eyes, “And not just because it’s your birthday.” He added giving Kakashi no excuses.

Kakashi turned forward, crossing his arms not even sure what to do anymore. Iruka stayed looking at Kakashi, with a sad smile on his face. He sighed, getting closer to Kakashi hoping to cheer him up some. “You know I really was enjoying that kissing, as long as you behave yourself.” He said teasing Kakashi, although gaining no reaction. Iruka bit his lip afraid to go too far, but didn’t want to just stop. He leaned in closer right next to Kakashi’s ear whispering, “Please?” his tongue escaped his mouth, tracing up the ear.

A growl emitted from Kakashi, as he turned to pounce Iruka. He straddled Iruka, grabbing his wrists and pinning them above him, “That really wasn’t all that nice.” His usually stoic features were now brimming with frustration.

Iruka looked at him endearingly, “I know… I’m sorry,” he apologized.

Kakashi’s frustration dissolved as he got off of Iruka, standing up next to the couch, smoothing out his clothes. Iruka turned toward him, getting up from his seat knowing that the night had pretty much ended. He let Kakashi lead the way, hoping to not give the man the idea that he was pushing him away.

When they reached the door Iruka solemnly opened the door, watching Kakashi head out of the house. Just before Iruka closed the door Kakashi turned back, looking like he was about to say something Iruka walked to the threshold to hear better. Kakashi leaned in kissing Iruka gently. “Thanks for the present.” He whispered before pulling away. “I’ll see you on Monday.”

Iruka lifted his fingers to his lips, still feeling the warm and gentle kiss. As Kakashi pulled away Iruka quickly shut the door, collapsing against it. He slid down to the floor, confused more than ever by the man.
