I know I said this when I first wrote the story, 'The Trouble with Popsicles' and I had every intention of not continuing the story, but then I got so many great reviews from everyone who posted and comments on wanting me to write a KakaIru pairing that I decided to do this side story for you guys, So I hope you like it.
'The Trouble with Popsicles' Flavor-Berry Lemonade: by KitsuneFun
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, that honor is held by Masashi Kishimoto, I am just a fanfiction authoress spreading the love of her favorite characters, so enjoy.
Kakashi froze as he felt eyes staring in his direction hungrily, he slowed turned his head to look at a younger man with snow white spiky hair that fell just past his shoulders, framing a handsome thin pale face with high cheekbones and large slanted green eyes... the first thing he thought was this guy looked a lot like a younger version of Jiraya, Naruto's other sensei.
Placing his hand along with his book down, he strode over to the counter to stare at the long spherical object the other man was holding in his hands, "A popsicle?" he found himself staring at the deep blue color in fascination, it seemed to be calling out to him, though for the life of himself, he didn't know why.
"Yep the best thing to hit Konoha since ramen," Kakashi's one visible eyebrow rose in surprise at the comment, 'I wonder if he knows Naruto,' it wouldn't surprise him if the other boy had somehow come in contact with the other man.
The other man continued to give that eerie smile as he leaned closer over the counter till Kakashi could feel his breath against his face, it was way too close for the jounin's comfort, "Aren't you hot?"
Kakashi's brow not only rose, but his lone visible blue eye widened in shock, "Excuse me?" inwardly he wondered, 'Why Iruka couldn't be as forward as shopkeeper.'
A slow grin overtook the younger man's face, as his one hand that wasn't holding the popsicle, lifted and pointed to his hitate and face mask, "Doesn't that become cumbersome? I am sure your mouth has better things to do than be covered up," he waggled his white brows for effect, making Kakashi decidedly uncomfortable for once.
Now the jounin would admit that he liked porn, hell if it was a religion he would worship it and make Jiraya the Dali Lama, but this younger man practically oozed sexual perversion at a level even Kakashi couldn't handle without breaking into a sweat... which ironically was starting to trickle down his neck despite the air-conditioning in the shop.
Kakashi backed up from the counter quickly and decided to leave, "Look you... I."
"Pero," the man interrupted giving him a smile.
"What?" for a moment Kakashi felt what it must be like to be Naruto... dense.
The white haired youth chuckled, slapping the counter with one hand, while trying not to damage his creation, "God your cute... its my name, Pero."
Kakashi's head nodded once, still trying to process the information, which unlike his normal genius qualities, seemed rather hard for him to comprehend, "I see... well Pero, I have to go I can't keep my students waiting you see..."
The younger man nodded slowly in understanding, "Then I won't keep you, but take this," he held up the blue popsicle in front of Kakashi again, this time holding it out for him to take.
"No that's ok... I really don't have any money on me," The jounin stated walking back slowly, it wasn't always good to show either fear or one's back to a pervert, they usually saw it as an invitation.
Pero looked at him a moment before giving that eerie smile again, like he wished Kakashi was one of his popsicles, "You can have it for free..." he gave a slow wink, "Just tell your friends about my shop... ok?"
For a moment, Kakashi was suspicious of the other boy's motives, but shook his head thinking it was silly to think so and instead to the popsicle from the other boy's hand, "Thanks, I'll see what I can do," and with that the jounin left the shop, leaving a pleased Pero behind.
Pero stared down at the book that the older man unconsciously dropped, he walked from behind the counter and picked it up to look at the bent spine, crumpled cover and folded pages, "It is a fair trade after all... giving up something you love to gain what you desire," he gave a slow smile as he read the name, 'Icha Icha Paradise-Yaoi Spring Edition', "And its porn... what's not to love."
Kakashi paused a moment in his steps as he left the shop, he felt as though he was forgetting something, but shook his head at the idea being silly, it brought his attention back to the blue popsicle in his hands, he eyed it thoughtfully for a moment and considered throwing it away, but decided that he might as well try it... it was free after all, he pulled down his face-mask and gave it a slow lick.
His mouth was suddenly filled with the slightly tart taste of lemonade with a hint of berry, that gave a feeling of icy coolness as it touched his hot tongue, the sides of Kakashi's mouth unconsciously curved up in delight, before he leaned down to lick the treat again, 'It's good,' he thought, enjoying the taste as he continued to alternately lick and suck at the popsicle, unaware that women and men had both stopped in their tracks and blushed as he walked past.
"Kakashi!" the jounin was so focused in the desert that he almost missed the strained yell in his direction, looking up he spotted Iruka eyeing him with a bright red face.
'Kawaii!' his inner fangirl thought, spotting Iruka sitting casually at a stool in front of Ichiraku's Ramen Stand, while his inner pervert wanted to just molest the hell out of the cute site, outwardly he lifted the one hand not carrying the popsicle, "Yo."
'Was it his imagination or did Iruka look nervous and was his face redder,' apparently he didn't realize he still had his face mask off and this was the first time Iruka was seeing it, or for that matter the majority of people that passed him.
Iruka wouldn't have know it was him at first, having never seen his face, if he hadn't recognized the white hair that flew off to the side defying wind and half his face wasn't covered by the mask. Overall he felt plan next to the gorgeous jounin and started to think about his own lack of looks, "Are you going off to train?" he managed to mumble as the man walked over with a smile on his face and sat down on a stool next to him..
"I had planned on meeting up with my team, but its still early yet," Kakashi managed to say, finding he couldn't tear his eyes away from the cute brunette, his hair which was normally pulled up into a ponytail had fallen a bit around his face and was moist with sweat, it brought attention to the other man's face that had lightened a bit, but was still slightly red, highlighting the scar that ran across his face and over his nose.
Kakashi was almost tempted to lean close and lick along the line of it slowly, he wondered if Iruka tasted as sweet as he looked, he didn't notice how close his face was getting until he noticed honey brown eyes widen in shock, "Uhm Kakashi?"
The jounin hummed low in his throat as he slowly leaned back, wondering what had gotten into him, "I'm sorry..." he managed to mumble uncomfortable now, as he brought up the popsicle and licked it again.
Iruka was confused and slightly turned on by the site, he got an image of Kakashi in his head, slowly licking every inch of his body, like the popsicle and suddenly his body turned hot at the imagery and he shivered a bit in awareness, "What..." he coughed to clear the squeaky sound from his voice, "Is that?"
"Hmm..." Hummed again in his throat as he sucked at the tip of the popsicle, unaware of what he was doing to his secret love.
Iruka licked his lips slowly, eyeing the slightly blueish tongue that escaped the jounin's red, from the cold, lips, "That thing your sucking and licking?" was it him or did his voice sound high pitched.
The jounin's mouth stopped its onslaught on the poor popsicle to smile at him, "It's a popsicle the greatest thing to hit Konoha since ramen."
"So you got that from Naruto," the brunette became uncomfortable with the imagery of his student... slash surrogate son, licking the popsicle the same way.
"No..." Kakashi shook his head negatively, "Some perverted guy named Pero," he eyed the other man a moment and got a sudden burst of inspiration, "You wanna lick?" he held out the popsicle towards the other man who only seemed to turn red at the suggestion.
"I don't..." Iruka started to say.
He was interrupted by Kakashi who gave a little pout, thrusting out his lower lip in a childish manner, "I don't have cooties."
'God what are you 5?' was Iruka's first thought, but having been used to Kakashi's sometimes childish behavior... that Iruka sometimes worried may have brushed off on his students, he decided to let it go, "Fine... just stop making that face..."
Kakashi gave a smile and watched as the brunette leaned in while eyeing Kakashi and gave the popsicle a slow lick from base to tip, the jounin felt his jaw drop in shock at the imagery, 'Is Iruka trying to come on to me,' the thought was more than pleasing, but it was probably the sugar high and heat making him see things.
Iruka's eyes closed to half mast and a seductive looking smile came on his face, making Kakashi gulp and unable to move, "It's really good..." the brunette slowly licked his lips, "Can I?" he gestured at the popsicle, wanting another lick.
Kakashi slowly nodded, finding his brain had shut down slightly, he watched the brunette lean in and before he knew what he was doing he leaned in as well and licked the popsicle at the same time as Iruka causing the tongues to collide slightly, sending chills up both of the men's spines at the touch.
Iruka's eyes widened again in surprise as he leaned back, he could still feel the ghost of Kakashi's tongue against his own, "Why did you?" for once, Iruka found himself at a loss for words, as he eyed the equally startle Kakashi.
"I... I..." Kakashi blushed this time, and ducked his head, which was unusual actions from the normally cocksure genius jounin,"I don't know what came over me."
Hearing confusion in the other's voice made Iruka's heart clench slightly in pain, "It was an accident... I didn't know you were going to lean in when I did..."
"No!" Kakashi looked up seriously at, his secret love, "I have wanted to for a long time... I am sorry... I didn't think about you not wanting to..." he felt embarrassed and wished he had never gotten that popsicle.
Iruka smiled noticing sides to Kakashi that he never knew existed and all were equally cute, leaning close, he decided to be as forward as the jounin for once, "Can we maybe try that without the popsicle in the way?"
Kakashi wasn't know for being the student of the 'Yellow Flash' for nothing, he quickly threw the popsicle to the side and grabbed the other man close, kissing him. The other man's mouth still tasted slightly like the berry lemonade flavoring and he found he couldn't get enough of sucking at the flavoring till it was gone and he could taste the real Iruka beneath it, which was a thousand times better, at the sound of Iruka's moan as it vibrated in his mouth, it sounded like the brunette felt the same.
The jounin was the one to break it off when he started to run out of air, "Damn... I have been wanting to do that since forever," the words made Iruka laugh, it was kinda sexy to Kakashi's ears and he leaned in to continue the kiss only to have Iruka back off with a smile.
"How about we continue this another time... let's say 8 o'clock at my place?"
Kakashi's lips curved up in a smirk, "You mean a date... does that mean you're my boyfriend now?"
Iruka gave a slightly leering smile as he got up from his sitting place on the stool, "Date... sex..." the brunette shrugged, noticing to his delight that the other man's mouth had dropped at the suggestion, "You'll have to come to my place at eight to find out," he gave a slow wink as he left, letting his hips sway slightly, knowing Kakashi would be watching, "See you later... boyfriend."
"Wait Iruka!" Kakashi yelled when he realized the brunette wasn't turning back around, "I wanna have afternoon sex now," neither gave particular attention to the popsicle that slowly melted where Kakashi had dropped it.
Pero laughed as he watched the white haired jounin catch up to brunette and they began kissing rather heatedly against the wall of a building, "Yep trully the best thing since ramen," he lifted his head, hearing the chiming of the bells above his door, signaling someone had entered.
"Welcome to 'Pero's Popsicle Parlor'," he said giving the youth a smile, "Sometimes the sweetest things can come in the oddest packages."
Pero for once got a bad feeling when the boy gave him a slight chilling smile back, "I can think of someone to whom that applies."
Ok I know I left that on a slight cliffhanger... but I decided that in case anyone wanted to see any other specific pairings involving Pero's suspicious popsicles, then I would do that. Thanks again for reading and please review, I love hearing from you guys
