A day in the life of Iruka. Yeah, I wanted something fluffy and sweet. I also put in a rather funny play on Iruka’s name just to spice up this story a lil. Soooo, sorry if it’s kinda boring. I was in the mood for something sweet and tasty.

“Iruke-sensei!” A small voice cried out happily. “See you tomorrow!” the kid waved happily and sprinted for the door.

“It’s Iruka-sensei and have a nice evening Terobi-san!” One of Konoha’s finest teachers at the ninja academy sighed as the child mispronounced his name for the millionth time that day.

He started to gather his scrolls into his bag along with the papers he would have to grade when he noticed a shadow.

“Ir…uke?” a voice uttered in surprise.

Iruka looked up, not really expecting anyone else to be there at this time of day. “Yes, Terobi-san keeps mispronouncing my name. It’s rather…interesting.” Iruka scratched at his scar as he observed Naruto’s current lazy teacher.

“…” Kakashi stared at the other. Did he realize what his name, in that sense, really was saying?

“Did you need something, Kakashi-sensei?” Iruka tried not to sound tired and put out but he was in real need of sleep and a little time away from the classroom.

“I just came to hand in a report.” Kakashi pulled out a crumpled and stained piece of paper. Iruka looked at Kakashi and then back to the balled item which had found it’s way in front of his face.

“You know I won’t accept that…and right now even! I’m not working at the moment Kakashi-sensei! Can’t you wait until tomorrow?” Iruka sighed out loud this time. He just wanted to get home and maybe splurge and get some wine to sip on.

“No, I had plans for tomorrow. My team and I are going on a week long mission and I need to hand it in right away.” Kakashi said stubbornly and kept holding out the report.

“Well, why don’t you rewrite it, on a nicer sheet of paper, and then we’ll talk, hn?” Iruka gave Kakashi his best teacher stare.

“...Only if you let me take you out for dinner.” Kakashi smiled under his mask when Iruka took a step back in surprise.

“Wh-What? Why?!” Iruka looked truly baffled as to why his co-worker and higher class ninja was asking him to dinner.

“Why would anyone ask you to dinner? Because I want your company, because I like the way you look, well, look, smell, and probably taste but we won’t get into that, because I want to know why that child insists on calling your Iruke, and so on and so forth. Oh, and I would really like to know why you insist on not going out with all the female teachers that are so keen on getting in your pants.” Kakashi almost laughed out loud as his last statement caused the rather shy school teacher to go completely red and splutter indignantly.

“I-….You!-….fine! Where do you want to go?” Iruka fumbled with his bad as he tried to keep his eyes away from Kakashi’s figure.

“Oh, where would you like?” Kakashi smiled again. He didn’t think Iruka would ever know how much courage it took him to ask the other out. Oh well, such was the world of dating.
