Prompt: Presents vs. Presence or the lack thereof
Iruka stumbled home from his desk duty; he'd offered to pick up a few extra shifts to let others spend the holiday time with their family, since his wasn't here. Kakashi had only left that morning, but Iruka already couldn't stand being alone.
Just as he was walking up to his home Iruka noticed a small box that looked like a present sitting in wait on the doorstep. He picked it up noticing the tag that said "To: Iruka From: Kakashi Missing you already"
Iruka simply smiled as he walked inside with it. "My sentiments exactly," He set down his stuff as he walked into his living room, plopping down on the couch.
He stared at the box for a moment, it wasn't exceptionally heavy, and it was a fairly small box, but he wasn't quite sure what it was. He undid the ribbon and pulled the top off of the box to see a maroon knit scarf. He pulled the scarf out to see it in full as a note fluttered from inside. "Don't get sick while I'm gone." Was all it said, making Iruka chuckle a little at the idea of him getting sick, which was quite rare even in this weather.
That night he slept in the middle of the bed, scarf wrapped around his neck as he slept peacefully.
The next day another box appeared, A little longer and wider, but not quite as tall. This time it held no note on the outside, but it wasn't needed. Again Iruka walked into his home dropping everything and sat down on the couch to open the box. Inside was a pair of gloves matching the scarf from the previous day. As Iruka started to slip on one of the gloves he felt a piece of paper inside. "Thought your hands might be cold without mine to hold onto."
Iruka held back his laughter, he loved that he was the only one that really got to see Kakashi's dorky sentimental side, but sometimes it was too much for even him.
The presents continued, a picture of the two of them, a small snow globe trinket from wherever Kakashi was, and a bangle styled bracelet. They were great gifts, but Iruka was getting fed up with them, he didn't want the stupid gifts anymore he just wanted Kakashi back. Someone to spend time with, someone to share the holidays with, something he'd wanted most his life.
Iruka sighed as he got within sight of his home, without lights on he knew there was no one waiting. As he glanced again out of hope he saw a small dog with a red box in it's mouth dropping it on the doorstep.
In an instant Iruka was racing to the door as he gripped the dog by it's bandana, "Please don't poof away Pakkun," he asked the startled dog, that calmed when he heard the soft voice.
"What's wrong Iruka?" Pakkun asked as he was held in Iruka arms.
"Why is he doing this? Can't he spend his time more wisely on the mission and just get back sooner?" Iruka asked the dog as if he could answer all the questions in the world.
"Don't ask me. I guess he thinks presents make up for him not being here, it's what his father used to do when he was away at this time too." Pakkun replied jumping down from Iruka's arms.
"Wait!" Iruka cried afraid the dog would just disappear. He quickly ran to write something on a piece of paper before handing it to Pakkun.
"I'm not a delivery service," He grumbled not wanting to take the note.
"Please? It's the only way that I can get something to him…" Iruka said as he placed it in front of Pakkun before disappearing for a moment once again, appearing with a bacon treat that lit up Pakkun's eyes.
"Only this once." He said before scarfing down the treat he'd been given.
"Thank you," Iruka said, as he pet the dog lightly who vanished a moment later.
"I hope he gets that soon," Iruka mumbled to himself as he sat down on the couch to open his latest gift.
AN: As I said yesterday this one directly relates to yesterday's prompt and will also for the next two days.
