I came up with this
after a long, two thousand three hundred mile trip with two close
friends and just need something to let it out. That, and after
getting a pic of me drawn with Kakashi and Iruka at Ohayocon, I can�t
beat down my inner Naruto fangirl.
And yes, I know there
are probably dozens of stories like this written, but honestly, I
haven�t read any of them and I want to develop Kakashi and Iruka�s
relationship. You don�t need to read Escort Duty to understand
this, but it�ll make me happy if you do. Please enjoy!
HKUI
Iruka stifled a yawn
from behind the mask he wore, and then stifled a sneezing fit that
threatened to overwhelm him. The conference that he was escorting
the Hokage to was taking longer than was expected and Iruka just
wanted to get home and get to sleep, maybe read a chapter of the new
sci-fi book he got just before he left.
A few hours later, the
conference was released and the Hokage asked if they could push to
get home before night fall instead of having to camp over night
somewhere in the wilderness and Iruka felt like he could kiss the
woman for suggesting it. He managed to restrain himself and gave a
tired but heartfelt �yes� from behind the mask. When Shizune
also agreed, they began their way back, the Hokage taking point while
they flanked her.
The trip went by in a
large blur for Iruka. Luckily, Konoha was warm enough that it didn�t
snow, but it was still cold enough at the end of the year to make
some of the ninjas that didn�t take outside missions shiver.
Despite how much he complained about the children in his classes,
Iruka actually missed teaching. Not only was his classroom warm and
the class predictable (going for practice weapons when they had the
littlest chance), being around so many children brought his immune
system up.
The Chuunin tripped on
a roof shingle but managed to catch himself before falling over the
edge, continuing to follow the Hokage and missing the studying gazes
of the two women. He blinked in surprise when Shizune actually
stopped him with a strong grip on his arm as the Hokage continued on
toward her office� supposedly�
�Tsunade-sama won�t
need your report for a while. Why don�t you head home and rest?�
�All right. Thank
you, Shizune-sama.� Iruka turned off of his original course and
headed back to his apartment, feeling the mission�s stress settling
on his shoulders with an unfamiliar weight. He fumbled slightly with
his keys to open his door, smiling slightly behind the mask he still
had on.
HKUI
�Why do you lock
your door?� Kakashi asked after walking him back to Iruka�s
apartment after the first fateful mission. �I mean, this is
a village full of ninja.�
�Children have a
habit of dropping in for a visit unannounced.�
�Ahh��
Iruka stole a quick,
cloth covered kiss before smiling sweetly at Kakashi and gently
closing the door on the glazed eyed ninja.
HKUI
Iruka pulled down mask
as he fell into a coughing fit, hunched over in the doorway to his
apartment for a few minutes. When he was able to stand straight
again, he stumbled into the living room, barely remembering to take
off his sandals, and fell onto the couch. He laid there for a short
while before the responsible part of his mind kicked him, reminding
him that he still had a report to write up, despite what Shizune had
told him.
�Might as well get it
done and turned in now rather than later,� he muttered to himself,
forcing his body to move.
HKUI
Kakashi walked in to
the mission room, absentmindedly handing his mission report that he
wrote on his way back to the ninja behind the desk while having his
nose buried in his favorite, bright orange book. He had just turned
away when the ninja called out.
�Hatake-san!
Umino-san was here earlier. He said to tell you he got back from his
mission if you got in before he started his shift.�
�Thanks,� Kakashi
said as he left, still reading his book.
He made his way back to
his small apartment slowly, forcing muscles to relax as he walked the
streets and alleys. He made it to his apartment without incident and
let himself in. He blinked in surprise as something crunched under
his foot and frowned down at the small paper.
Kakashi-san,
I�ve left on a
mission with the Hokage. If you get back after I do, you�re
welcome to come over. I�ll even make dinner.
The note was signed
with the katakana character of �I� and an unintelligible
scribbled, probably the last two katakana characters of Iruka�s
name. Kakashi placed the note on a small table by his bed and
stretched his arms, letting a few joints pop. Hopefully Iruka makes
good dinners.
HKUI
Kakashi knocked, waited
a few minutes, and knocked again. When no one answered, he stretched
out his senses, feeling for any familiar chakra and he could detect
Iruka�s distinctive signature in the back of the apartment, flaring
very faintly.
Kakashi tried the door
knob, faintly surprised when it opened easily. �Iruka��
Kakashi slipped off his sandals and padding softly through the living
area, making sure to make enough noise to alert the Chuunin. The
bedroom door creaked open at his touch and the lump under the covers
moved slightly, coughing weakly before falling still.
The Jounin walked over
to the bed and pulled back the covers gently, looking down at the
sleeping Chuunin. Strands of hair framed Iruka�s face from where
it fell from the ponytail and he was snoring slightly. After
spending a few weeks in the same room with him, Kakashi knew that
Iruka didn�t snore.
��Ruka-kun��
Kakashi murmured softly, shaking his shoulder.
One dark eye opened and
glared up at him before the expression softened. ��Kashi?�
Iruka tried to push himself up but lapsed into a coughing fit,
pulling the thick comforter up around his head to muffle it.
�Ninjas normally
don�t get sick.�
�I normally am in a
warm classroom with two dozen small kids. I haven�t seen my
classroom for three months.� After a moment of silence, he pushed
himself up without coughing. �I promised you dinner, didn�t I?�
�Yes you did, but
that could wait for a while. Just go back to sleep. I�ll be back
in a short while.�
�Okay.� Iruka
curled up and pulled the blanket over his head again, and moment
later Kakashi could hear muffled snores.
Time to get to work,
Kakashi thought, heading to the front door.
HKUI
Iruka didn�t remember
much after turning in his report to the Chuunin behind the mission
desk, except for Kakashi randomly showing up in a dream and the taste
of chicken noodle soup. When he did regain enough realization of the
outside world, he felt someone pressed up against his back. Scarred
fingertips rubbed his arm soothingly before stilling again and Iruka
heard Kakashi mutter something before falling quiet again.
Twisting around in
strong arms, Iruka studied the Jounin in the darkness of the room.
Kakashi still wore his mask, even asleep and with someone who already
saw his face. Iruka frowned slightly and leaned closer to Kakashi,
smelling a faint scent of chicken flavoring on Kakashi.
�I heard chicken
noodle soup was good for colds,� Kakashi said softly.
�I didn�t know that
you could find chicken noodle soup in this village.�
�Can�t. I had to
use chicken ramen instead.�
That sent Iruka off
laughing, which triggered a coughing fit. Kakashi rubbed his back
until he calmed down enough to breath and Iruka grinned at him, eyes
bright. �You got me chicken ramen?�
�Ahh� I actually
made it. The ramen stand is closed because the owner left on
vacation for the New Years.�
Iruka suddenly pulled
Kakashi tight against him, hugging him with what remained of his
strength. He kissed Kakashi on the edge of the mask on the bridge of
his nose. �Thank you, Kakashi-san. No one�s ever gone through
that much trouble for me.�
�It�s nothing. You
want me to help you to the bathroom before I reheat some ramen?�
Iruka frowned at him
before looking over his shoulder at an alarm clock. �How long have
I been out?�
�About a day or so.�
When Iruka suddenly began to struggle to untangle his legs from the
sheets, Kakashi held him until he calmed down. �Tsunade-sama sent
Sakura-kun over to check on you. She says it�s just the flu and a
few days rest would help more than anything else.�
�Aren�t you going
to get sick?�
�Sakura-kun gave me a
shot so I won�t. Come on, let�s get you situated in the other
room.�
Fifteen minutes and a
bathroom stop later, Iruka was on the couch in his living room, a cup
of hot chicken broth and ramen noodles in hand and bundled up in his
blanket. Kakashi gave him one of his masked smiles. �Is there
anything else you need?�
Iruka blushed slightly
and looked away. �Would you stay for a while longer? It gets
lonely around here quickly.�
�Sure.� Kakashi
lifted Iruka feet and sat down in their spot, placing the feet on his
lap after pulling out his orange book. Iruka made a face at the
cover but made no comment as he grabbed his own book from the coffee
table near him, settling in to the comfortable silence around him.
HKUI
Kakashi closed the door
silently behind and slipped off his sandals. Despite the late hour,
he could hear Iruka humming to himself in the kitchen. He stepped
into the warm light and smile at the Chuunin�s back, watching him
stir a pot that held Iruka�s �secret� miso soup. A thing of
steamed rice and plates holding broiled fish were already on the
table, waiting to be eaten.
The Jounin walked up
behind Iruka and placed his arms on the younger man�s hips,
slightly disappointed when he didn�t jump. Iruka leaned back in
his arms, his humming softening for a moment before stopping.
�I could feel you at
the bottom of the stairs,� Iruka said in way of explanation. �How
was your mission?�
�Boring, as usual. I
see you survived without anyone around.�
Iruka shrugged. �I
went by the hospital and got a last check up. I�m now allowed to
work in the mission room again and go on missions.�
�They wouldn�t
allow you before?�
�Liability on a
mission and could have spread the flu to the rest of the mission
room.�
�Ahh�� There
were a few moments of silence before Kakashi pulled down his mask and
turn Iruka enough to capture his lips and a gentle kiss. When they
parted, Kakashi managed not to smirk at the slightly glazed look
Iruka had. After setting the Chuunin down at the table, Kakashi
pulled out two bowls to put the soup in and finished serving the rest
of the late night supper.
Kakashi was glad that
they got together on their first mission. Besides, Iruka made good
dinners.
HKUI
And here is something I
wanted to write that I hope was cute and sweet, if anything. This
isn�t citrusy enough to make it to AFFNet, but it�s going there
anyway... I hope everyone likes!
