Author's Note: I just had to write this. There are barely any good Irunaru fics. So, this one was kinda random..hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...wish I did...don't. It sucks, but life in general sucks...
Iruka was annoyed. Really annoyed. When school had ended, Naruto had walked into the class room, which surprised Iruka. He hadn't seen Naruto for a week. Apparently, Naruto was in a A rank mission. He was an ANBU now, but he was still young.
He was only 18, but he changed dramatically. He was now taller then Iruka and had hair that was slightly passed his shoulders. He wore a black shirt with a white Konoha symbol in the middle of his shirt. He wore a black, sleeveless hoody, and black pants. With that, he wore fingerless gloves and his headband around his neck so that his slightly passed shoulder length hair would drop carelessly around his face. His bangs weren't as long, but slightly passed his eyes. His personality was a huge improvement. He was so mature, and lost that kiddy voice he had. He also developed a well-toned muscled body, which, if anyone saw him, screamed out, 'HOT!'.
Anyway, Naruto had asked Iruka if he wanted to go out for some dinner. Iruka gladly agreed, happy to finally spend time with Naruto, and eat something other than ramen. So, they were walking in the streets, having a friendly conversation. What annoyed Iruka though, was the damn looks Naruto was receiving from the women and some guys that spotted them. It pissed him off to no end when they looked at Naruto as if craving for him. They looked at him as if he was a piece of meat. Sure, he was glad people had stopped calling him a demon or a monster, and decided to look past that, but when they looked past that, they went straight for his looks! Iruka glared at them, and Naruto noticed, but decided not to question. When they sat down at the restaurant, Iruka saw the waiters arguing over who was going to serve Naruto. One waiter banged the head of the other with a plate and ran to Naruto. She blushed furiously at him.
"H-hello! My name is Mai! Are you ready to order?" she asked sweetly, staring at Naruto as his eyes stayed glued to the menu.
"Um...I'll just have a dragon roll and some shrimp...what about you Iruka-sensei?" he asked calmly.
Iruka narrowed his eyes at Mai, who wouldn't take her eyes off of Naruto! He snapped back when Naruto had spoken to him. "Oh! Um, I'll just have a salad, ongari, and the dragon roll as well..."
Mai wrote down their order. "Okay!" she chirped. "Would you like anything to drink Naruto-kun?"
"Water is fine." he said with a small smile, making Mai almost squeal. "U-um, and you, Umnio-san?"
Iruka gritted his teeth, and forced a smile. "Water, is fine.." he managed to get out.
Mai nodded. "Alright! I'll be back soon!" she went off to the kitchen, only to get yelled at by the girl she hit over the head with a plate.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at Iruka. "Is something wrong Iruka-sensei? You seem a bit..annoyed."
Iruka snapped back to reality once again, scolding himself for not listening to Naruto earlier.
"Oh, yes, I'm fine. Just a bit distracted." he smiled.
"Oh? At what?" he asked curiously.
Iruka shrugged. "Just the looks people keep giving you.." he said as if it was nothing. On the inside though, he was fuming about it.
Naruto tried to think about what Iruka meant, then he looked around the restaurant and saw the 'looks' he meant. Some girls were drooling at him.
"Ah, those looks. Yeah, I have gotten them a lot lately. I even have a fan club. I will never, make fun of Sasuke running away from girls ever again." he chuckled.
Iruka blinked. "Fan..club?" he asked in fear. "You have fan girls!"
"And boys." Naruto added. "I caught a few of them stalking me. Remind me to never play a guitar where people have cameras and post them into the internet." Naruto sighed.
Iruka's eye was twitching, a vein on his head. "I...see.." he said through clenched teeth.
Naruto grinned. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're jealous." he teased.
Iruka blushed. "W-what? No! I-I'm not jealous!" Iruka's heart was racing, did he figure it out? He had hoped not.
He had felt strange feelings for Naruto ever since they boy was young. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it. He hid it from Naruto, because he didn't want to corrupt him. He did wish he could be closer to Naruto, not just a brother relationship. He inwardly sighed, knowing he could never have that kind of relationship.
Naruto smirked. "Really.." he drawled. "If you say so, Iruka-sensei." he said, making Iruka blush even more.
During their meal, Naruto kept stealing some of Iruka's food. Iruka glared at him, and tried to snatch it back, but Naruto kept eating it. Naruto laughed at him, making Iruka glare at him, but inside, he was really enjoying himself. Naruto took a bite into a bread that was on the table, and then offered the other half to Iruka. Iruka blushed since Naruto had it near his mouth. Instead of taking it with his hand, he opened his mouth so Naruto could put it in, which he did. His heart beat was increasing again, and Naruto just smirked at him. He went back to his meal as if it was nothing, but Iruka couldn't help but keep his blush up.
After their meal, they walked along the streets of Konoha. Iruka was irritated again. That damn waiter that must die, Mai, kissed Naruto's cheek!
Flash back
A few minutes ago...
Naruto sighed in satisfaction. "That was great!"
Mai was standing next to him, collecting the bill. She beamed when she heard Naruto. "Oh? You think so?" she asked with a small hint of a blush on her face.
Naruto looked up at her and nodded. "Yeah, say thanks to the chief when you have the chance, I'd appreciate it."
Mai giggled. "You just did!"
Naruto and Iruka blinked. Naruto smiled. "Oh? You cooked this?"
Mai blushed and nodded. "Y-yes, It was nothing!" she added quickly.
"What? Of course if was something! That was fantastic! You should be promoted to a chief, you're an awesome cook! I'd love to have someone cook me meals like this all the time!" he grinned.
Mai smiled. "Well...maybe you'll get lucky! You never know!" she bent down and kissed Naruto's cheek. "Bye Naruto-kun! Hope to see you soon!" she bowed at Iruka. "Have a nice night." Iruka's eye began to twitch again. Naruto blinked in confusion and shrugged. Iruka bent the fork in his hand.
End of Flash back
Naruto sighed when he saw Iruka's expression. "What's wrong now Sensei?"
Iruka shook his head and forced a smile. "Nothing! You seem to get a lot of attention from these women, Naruto.." he searched Naruto's face for a reaction. He received none, which had him a bit curious.
Naruto shrugged. "It's nothing really. I kinda feel bad. They get their hopes up, thinking I'll like them back. I don't though, I'm not really interested in girls." he said that last part without even realizing it.
Iruka's eyes widened. "You're-you're gay?" he asked in hopes and shock.
Naruto looked at Iruka in a confuse expression, then mentally slapped himself. Great. Now his sensei knew he was gay.
"Heh, yeah...I am."
"But..but what about Sakura-chan?" Iruka asked confused. Didn't Naruto, like, worship the ground she walked on?
Naruto lightly laughed. "Oh yeah. Sakura-chan...err..I got over her a loonngg time ago. She seemed to need attention, since Sasuke wasn't giving it to her, so I did..." he grinned sheepishly. "Don't get me wrong, she is pretty, but, I never really..like liked her. I think it was only for a day that I did. It was just for her self-esteem. There really was no consequences, she was too wrapped in Sasuke to consider dating me."
Iruka raised an eyebrow. "But..didn't she try to date you last year?"
Naruto nodded. "Yeah, she started flirting with me and trying to get close. I told her that I liked someone else, and that she should go for Lee...I didn't think she'd listen."
Iruka laughed. "I see. You still like someone?" he asked carefully.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah."
"A guy, I presume. Hmm..is it..Sasuke?" he asked, hoping he was wrong.
Naruto grinned, making Iruka's heart shatter. "No, it's not Sasuke. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, he has to 'revive' his clan. His bro is waay ahead of him." he mused.
Iruka blinked. Okay, if it wasn't Sasuke...then who? "Um..Kiba?"
Naruto looked at him as if he was the craziest person in the world. "Kiba's okay, but just..no." Naruto shook his head at the thought.
Iruka really wanted to know who. If he had to say every name he knew, he was going to say every damn name he knew. "Gaara?" Naruto shook his head and grinned. "Okay, how 'bout..Shikamaru?"
"Are you kidding me! Shikamaru! No way. Besides, isn't he dating Ino?" Naruto asked.
"Oh. Right. Okay then...aww come on, tell me, who is that you like?"
Naruto chuckled. "I'm not telling you. What about you though? Do you like anyone?"
Iruka slightly blushed, then smiled. "Yeah, I do."
Naruto grinned. "Oh? Who is it?"
Iruka grinned. "I'm not telling you!"
Naruto pouted adorably. "Aww..you're so mean, Sensei!"
Iruka smacked him behind the head, causing them to laugh.
After awhile of silence, Iruka spoke. "You don't have to walk me home, Naruto. I can take care of myself."
Naruto grinned. "I know. I just want to stay over your house tonight, if you don't mind."
Iruka's eyes widened. "Of course I don't mind! You know you're always welcomed!"
"Thanks." Naruto said with a smile, and Iruka smiled back.
Naruto was sitting on the couch, waiting for Iruka to come with some popcorn to watch a movie. Naruto had suggested a horror movie, much to Iruka's dismay. Naruto convinced him by saying 'there's some humor in it!'. Iruka didn't buy it, but let Naruto put it on anyway.
"Iruka-sensei, the popcorn ready?" Naruto half shouted.
"Almost done!" Iruka called from the kitchen. After about 20 seconds, Iruka walked into the living room with a bowl of popcorn. He sat next to Naruto and slid down a bit so that their legs slightly touched. Iruka slightly blushed, but Naruto wasn't fazed by it. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and started watching the movie. He paused for a sec and stood up. Iruka frowned from the lack of heat from Naruto's side. 'Did Naruto notice? Is that why he stood up?' his question was answered when Naruto dimmed the lights. He plopped back on the couch, their legs and arms touching now.
"It's better in the dark, don't you think sensei?" Naruto asked while turning his attention on the screen.
Iruka smiled. "Yeah. It is.." he started watching the movie.
Half way into the movie, Iruka started to get a bit scared. He wasn't a wuss when it came to horror movies, but he didn't like them. Some made him shiver and get him really scared.
Apparently, this one was one of them.
Naruto was absorbed into the movie, it didn't even seem to bother him. Naruto blinked when he felt Iruka shaking slightly. He looked at Iruka, who looked a bit terrified. Naruto grinned and wrapped an arm around Iruka's shoulders.
"Hey, it's just a movie, remember?" he said comfortingly.
Iruka blinked and looked at Naruto. "I-I know that.." he said with a slight blush, embarrassed to have Naruto remind him, but the blush was also caused by the fact that Naruto hadn't removed his arm. He glanced at Naruto to see his face, but Naruto was looking at the movie again, as if he forgot where he left his arm. Iruka smiled and, to test it, put his head on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto tensed for a sec, then relaxed. Iruka couldn't help but blush and be extremely, extremely happy. He didn't know if it was because Naruto was to wrapped up in the movie to care, or because he enjoyed it, either way, he didn't care.
A few more minutes into the movie, close to the ending, Naruto smirked. Iruka had snuggled onto his side.
"So..Iruka-sensei...did you figure it out?" he asked randomly and calmly.
Iruka blinked but didn't move from his position. "Figure out what?"
Naruto grinned. How clueless. "Who I like?"
Iruka froze. Surely Naruto wasn't implying him?...Was he? "Umm...no..not...really."
Naruto's grin widened. "No? You're way too innocent to be a teacher."
Iruka glared, knowing Naruto knew it was meant for him, even if he wasn't looking directly at him. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just saying..isn't it obvious who I like?"
Iruka blinked, then looked up. Naruto was looking down at him, grinning. "You mean...me?" Iruka asked in shock. His heart was lifting.
"Yes, sensei." Naruto started leaning down toward Iruka's face. Iruka's breath caught in his throat, but then he closed his eyes and titled his head to the side as Naruto kissed him. Iruka gasped as Naruto nibbled on his bottom lip, then pushed his tongue into Iruka's mouth. Iruka sighed contently and kissed back with equal force. After they surfaced for air, Iruka panting and Naruto catching his breath, but smirking all the same, Naruto spoke.
"I love you Iruka-kun, I just didn't want to tell you because I thought I knew you would reject me."
Iruka smiled at the confession. "Actually, I love you too. I didn't say it because I thought you'd be creped out and never speak to me again."
Naruto laughed lightly and nuzzled Iruka's neck. "Guess we thought wrong.."
Iruka smiled and nodded in agreement. He was now the happiest man ever. He laid on Naruto's lap, and Naruto played with his hair. He tugged on the hair band, then removed it so Iruka's hair would fall freely. He threaded his fingers into the hair and massaged it. Iruka sighed happily. Things couldn't get better then this. Naruto turned off the t.v and continued to play with Iruka's hair.
"Hope you don't mind if we stay here tonight Iruka-kun."
Iruka smiled. "Not at all, Naru-chan."
Naruto chuckled. "Night koi."
Iruka blushed. "Night.." he grabbed Naruto by the neck, and gently pushed him down until their lips meant in a good night kiss. They pulled apart, and Naruto shifted his position so that they lay side by side. Naruto holding Iruka's waist, and Iruka snuggling with Naruto. Naruto smirked. Wait till his fans saw them. If they got jealous for them just being next to each other, wait till they see them with Naruto's arm around his waist. Oh, he was going to have fun making Iruka blush!
