AN: Why did I post this chapter last week? I wasn't feeling good actually. My soft touch keyboard died and I wasn't able to sleep. I've slept and I'm writing today so it's looking good.

I am working on SO much. Including going through my various hand written stories and I'm going to be working on finishing a few of those hand written stories along with Walk the Edge, Breath Unto Me, and a couple of other stories that I have going.

So I hope you all enjoy today's chapter!

*~*~*~*

Putting the last of the larger scrolls down, Iruka sighed as he slowly stretched his arms up and over his head as Choji groaned, unrolling one of the largest of them. “Why did you have to pack everything up like this?” he asked. Iruka chuckled softly at him.

“Originally I decided to do it just in case some idiot who was under the assholes control, or even someone hired by the Akatsuki, decided to come in and rig the other apartment. It is easier to hide things in a full apartment that is being left alone for months at a time, a few visits notwithstanding. That and I was going to move anyways, this just pushed me to finally do it,” Iruka said, shrugging with a smile. “All of the furniture that I bought myself was shoved into scrolls and I kept the bed though since we had sex on it and to buy the frame and bed was cheap.”

“Ah, that would be a good idea since we did do that multiple times,” Choji drawled, smirking slightly at the soft blush on Iruka’s cheek. “Where did Gai get off to?” he asked.

“Well, since he was allowed to head back home again, he packed his things up and headed to his apartment to clean things out. I think he has asked Inoichi-san over for tea. He said to reconnect and go over a few things that Gai learned while he was working with us,” Iruka mused, shrugging one shoulder. “Or so he said this morning.”

Choji made a considering noise and took the biggest scroll for the living room, unrolling the first quarter of it and unsealed the couch, Iruka helping him to move it into place. They did the same to the coffee and bedroom side tables before they unpacked the bookcases and living room side tables. They unpacked the dining room furniture along with the bedroom and office furniture before flopping down onto the couch while Iruka huffed softly.

“I still have so much to unpack and put away. Fuck moving any time soon,” Iruka whined. Choji chuckled softly and pulled him close, stroking down his side and hip with a smile. He was still dealing with some surprise at just how close he and Iruka had become but he supposed that when you were stuck spending so much time together that it was kind of inevitable.

Especially since he had learned that Iruka was such a cuddle slut that he used any chance that he could to just cuddle next to him, loving his size. The teacher had admitted that he had dated Mizuki because he had seemed nice, but his cuddles had been all sharp angles and hard muscles. Iruka like the fact that Choji was soft and strong, hidden muscles and all.

“I’ll be helping you today, so don’t worry so much about that,” Choji promised, Iruka humming as he curled up against him fully, just relaxing with a sigh. Shifting, the two relaxed into the couch, just unwinding from all of the changes that had been going on in the last few weeks.

They had been under some kind of stress ever since that first attack against their desk chunins. Because it didn’t take long for Naruto to get attack and from there had learned that it was a concentrated effort to get into the Archives and take out Naruto in some way. Iruka had moved into Naruto’s home while Izumo and Kotetsu had moved into Genma’s and Raidou’s apartment, all of them under constant supervision. All of this while still trying to do their jobs and discover just who the hell was stupid enough to try for them.

But they had finally taken out the Akatsuki, brought back new allies and old friends, and taken out Danzo once and for all.

Shifting around, Iruka looked up at Choji and smiled slightly, tilting his head to the side. “How about we head out to lunch before we do any more unpacking? It’s my treat. I have quite a bit left over and you can help me shop to stock my pantry afterwards. I will even make dinner tonight as my thanks, along with that one cake that you liked so much,” he offered.

Choji smiled and gently squeezed Iruka’s hip, thumb rubbing a bit. “How about I make some chocolate mousse with white chocolate dipped strawberries and you make dinner instead?” he said in return.

Iruka blushed and nodded, knowing that the other man was making the offer because he knew he loved mousses. That and the fact that he loved the fact that the dipped strawberries Choji did were always perfectly done. No one beyond Naruto had ever bothered to learn of his weaknesses before and it showed him just how much Choji did care for him.

“That sounds just perfect,” Iruka said, standing up and heading for his bedroom to grab his wallet and make sure that he had his money in it. Choji pushed himself off of the couch and checked his own wallet to make sure that he had some money to pitch in on the food shopping. With money checked, the two slid their shoes on, Iruka locking and using the seals that Naruto had placed down for him that morning, all the while grumping about being out of bed, to protect them. They left with the door closing solidly behind them.

Iruka laughed and smiled as they walked, talking with his lover, feeling content even as his mind went back to past lovers he had been with. As he thought about it, he had never felt quite as comfortable as he was finding himself with Choji. Which said something since the man wasn’t trying, he was just being. Being himself, being who he was, which made him something very special.

Choji on the other hand was marveling mentally at the fact that he was doing more with Iruka then he had thought would have been possible. He had always admired the man, from all the way back in the academy to the present day. And even later after he had learned that the chunin was a strong fighter, but still preferred to teach instead of fight. But to be getting so close to him in such a way hadn’t even been thought of as a possibility.

He had decided while they had been finishing things up that he would see where their relationship went instead of worrying about it much as he slipped an arm around Iruka’s waist. The shy, blushing smile was adorable.

“Well, well, what a surprise to see the two of you here,” Inoichi drawled as he walked up to the two of them, Gai smiling next to him. Iruka and Choji raised an eyebrow at the fact that Gai was dressed rather normally for him. He was wearing a pair of simple pants that most nins wore and a long sleeved shirt that was tight but with enough give for any of his normal fighting movements. He looked different.

Iruka was the one who had the guts to say it. “Keep wearing your green outfit, Gai. It looks better on you. Or maybe go for a slightly darker version without the orange leg warmers,” he said. He shook his head before smiling at them. “Did you finally ask Inoichi-san out on a date?” he asked teasingly.

Gai blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head as Inoichi smirked at him. “Actually, I got to him first. He was planning on doing it once he had done some laundry, thus the rather different outfit. But I heard that he was home for good finally. Ino was very surprised when I asked him out,” Inoichi chuckled.

Choji just snorted at that with an amused look. “Have you told dad and Shikaku-san about your plants?” he asked, Inoichi nodding his head with a smirk. “Good. If you guys don’t mind though, we’re heading off to my family’s new restaurant. Iruka here has been wanting to try it but he hasn’t had any time to do that. Especially not with all the bullshit lately.”

“Oh? We were heading there too. I hear that they have many types of dishes that come from around the main lands of our world,” Gai said, beaming brightly. Iruka just squinted slightly at the gleam of his smile.

Choji chuckled as he nodded. “Yeah, one of my uncles married a really nice guy whose family traveled all over, collecting recipes and ingredients from all over the place. So when they got engaged, they just asked for help with their start up fund for the new restaurant and decided to focus on those collected recipes.” Iruka smiled sweetly at that. “They’re all really good and actually my uncle-in-law is teaching me some of them that he has when we have time. He also is working on creating recipe books for the base recipes that they’ve tweaked and learned. Adding in stories of his family too.”

“Oh, you mean like the books that your mother puts together every so often?” Iruka asked, Choji nodding his head. “Do remind me to show her some of the recipes that my grandmother was able to save from Uzushiogakure no Sato.”

Choji, Inoichi, and Gai all stared at him, getting blinked at by the wide, innocent eyes that they didn’t trust. “How in the world would your grandmother have gotten any of the recipes from there? Some of those family recipes were as safeguarded as their family fuin-jutsus were,” Inoichi finally got out.

Iruka smiled at him. “My great-grandmother was a Keeper of Heritage for Uzushio. Part of being a Keeper is keeping detailed records of everything that happened in the village while also adding that to the records. And that did include recipes from all of the families to keep safe. They included the general recipes from the Uzu no Kuni area. I’ve already given Naruto his family history so that he can add to it using his mother’s diaries and his own story for any future descendants.”

Choji smiled softly and leant down slightly to kiss his cheek. “My mother would love to see any of the recipes that you have that you can share,” he said. “So would my uncle-in-law. They have only about two of them because that’s all they were able to learn before things went bad.”

Iruka nodded as he pressed against Choji’s side a bit more. “I’ve been slowly sending out word about the fact that I’m the current Keeper and have gotten a few letters and journals back to add to the collection. A few lines have died off outside of a couple of people,” he said. “Come on, let’s go eat. I’ll tell you all about my duties over some delicious lunch,” he promised.

Inoichi and Gai shared a look before they quickly followed after the two, still surprised at the fact that Iruka had so many duties that no one knew about. It was nice though, knowing that he was willing to open up and talk about it. And if they got to learn something about the history of Uzushio, then that was all the better for them. Especially if they could use it to get that part of their own history put back into the academy’s curriculum.

Iruka just smiled up at his lover, Choji snorting at the look, having figured out that his lover had just manipulated one of the master manipulators perfectly. It was enough to make him say screw it in regards to lunch so that he could take Iruka back to his apartment and christian his new bedroom.

But he stopped himself, barely. He had a feeling that life wasn’t ever going to be boring with Iruka as his partner, that was for sure.
