Did he actually think I was going to buy this crap? Just who the hell…

"You believe me, right, Ruka-love?"

"Let me get this straight, Kakashi. You were mugged. By a bunch of rabid…squirrels, you said?"

"Or rabbits…hell, I don't know. I just know that they ran off with the present I got you…"

"…giant squirrels. Or rabbits. You sure they weren't, oh I don't know, gigantic hellhounds sent by the devil himself to scout out Konoha as a potential battleground for his bid to rid the underworld, finally, of those pesky little…"

"Iruka! I'm serious. They really did…"

"…and of course, let's not forget the pink elephants on parade…"

"Now you're just making fun."

"Oh sweetie, I haven't gotten to the part about the Invisible Man making a special appearance…"

"Forget it. If you're not going to believe me…"

"You're goddamn right I'm not going to believe you. Who the hell in their right mind would believe you? Giant squirrels? Who the hell makes this shit up? You must be out of your mind to think that…"

A knock on the door interrupts Iruka's rant.

"Hold that thought you forgetful bastard."

Kakashi stayed in his seat, waiting for Iruka to return and finish doling out his punishment. He was pissed and angry at whoever the hell it was that had ambushed him only a short while ago had in fact taken the anniversary gift that he had bought for Iruka. Even now, he was thinking of ways of hide the body when he heard the front door close and Iruka walking back to him.

"Look, Iruka, I swear, I was attacked by a couple of guys dressed as squirrels…"

"Genma and Anko."

"…and they snatched the gift…wait. What?"

"That was Genma and Anko at the door," Iruka held his hand out, a small box lay in the center of his palm. "Apparently, they thought it would be really funny to pull a fast one on you. They had been following you around all day and when you had left the jeweler's, they pounced. They were at the bar celebrating when Raidou and Gai showed up. After much gloating on their part, they decided to return the box."

"…"

"It seems that Raidou and Gai can be very…persuasive when they need to be."

"Oh."

"Oh god, Kashi. I'm so sorry. I should have…"

"You should have not believed me. I know I forget things a lot, like your birthday, Valentine's Day, hell, even Christmas. Remember last year?"

"Yeah," he said as he walked closer to his lover. "If I remember correctly, you made up for it, many, many times."

"Yup. In the kitchen, in the bathroom…"

"Kashi…"

"…twice in the office, only once on the balcony, although, with this really nice weather…"

"Kakashi," Iruka said, raising his voice as he fought, and lost, the blush.

Kakashi wrapped his arms around Iruka and held him close, "Happy First-Time-We-Said-I-Love-You-versary."

"Happy First-Time-We-Said-I-Love-You-versary to you too."
