Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, wish I did but no. What I do own are Kakashi and Iruka (my cats which keep thinking that five in the morning is a good time to have breakfast)

To love a scarecrow

They were on bed, Iruka was sitting down against the headboard and Kakashi was lying between his legs, his head resting on Iruka's stomach. Iruka had his eyes close trying to catch a breath while the other was tracing patterns on his stomach. He moved to get up.

"Maaa, Iru kun. Where do you think you going?" -Trying to hold him by the thighs.

"I need to go to work…." -Trying hard not laugh. -"It's Tuesday and I barely have an hour to get ready and have breakfast."- He was looking for his pants while Kakashi kept rubbing himself against his back, not helping really-"Kashi what would you like for breakfast."

"Mmmm, You."- He whispers it right on his ear making Iruka's body heat rise to an almost boiling point.

"Kakashi… I'm being serious... We still have miso soup I'll make some okayu."-Trying to detach him from the white arm holding him.

"Maaa, call in sick… Ruru."-Almost like a purr, not letting go.

"I called in sick yesterday."

"Say that you have an infection."-Pulling him back to bed.

"An infection named Kakashi!" -He said laughing, kissing him on the forehead.- "Oh don't be mad, you can pick me up for lunch and I'll make you whatever you want for dinner, plus Tsunade sama said you had to rest."

"Then stay and take care of me."

"Kashi, you know I can't. Stop acting like a child. It's getting late."

"Take a shower with me at least."

"Ok just a shower." -Kakashi gave him one of his best grins. -"Just a shower Kakashi. I want those hands where I can see them."

"You want my hands where?" -Following him to the bathroom.

"Kakashi. I mean it!"-Big slap on his head. - "You're making me late!"

"Ouhh. Ok."

They ate breakfast in a rush just soup since Iruka didn't have time to make the rice because of Kakashi's pervinnes, after swearing to Iruka he'll go right to sleep not to read. Iruka left to work. He did slept but just for an hour, after that he went to visit the memorial stone. Then he notices he was late to join Iruka for lunch it was almost six so Iruka must be on the mission room by now. Kakashi arrive to the mission room crowded as always, so he decided to stay in a corner at least until there wasn't as much people. He pulls out his book and sat on the floor.

Iruka had his desk already full, his stomach was growling, and was starting to lose patience trying to explain to Kotetsu the importance of bringing their mission reports on time and neat, while Izumo kept interrupting by slapping Kotetsu on the head saying:" I told you so, you big dumb ass." Iruka just stared at them while Izumo slap him again, for a moment he remember all the times he had hit Kakashi like that and felt embarrassed at least he never done it in public… Oh wait he had more than once, he felt a blush taking over his face that made him get out of his thoughts , just to see Izumo hand in the air about to slap Kotetsu once again starring at him.

"Oi… Iruka sensei… you ok?"

"Yeah… I guess you gonna have to make the report again. And this time you do it please, Izumo."- He gave the old report back to Izumo with a smile… What was he going to do with them, Jounin behave worst than children, at least with kids you just give them a look and they'll stop but these guys… They were helpless! - "Next!"

At least they kept him entertain. It was almost eight and about time to close. He wondered what Kakashi was doing, probably reading and lost track of the time. He was lost on thoughts more thinking than reading the report in front of him when a familiar voice brought him back.

"So my youthful Iruka sensei what do you think of my preposition?"

"Ahh?"- He look up to see Gai standing hands on his hips with a superhero smile- "What preposition?"

"Only the one, to make copies of my immaculate report and give to the other jounins so they can have sample of how to do a perfect report."- Iruka just starred at him trying to understand.-"Or do you think it'll be best to put in on a board so nobody would be embarrassed."

"You misspell the word mission three times."

"What…. That can be… I can not possible be…. I check twice! Twice!!"-Almost crying.

"I'm sorry Gai" -Hiding a simile, Kakashi would be so proud.-" You wanna let it like that or give it back tomorrow."

"Come on Gai take it like a man."-Kakashi says just appearing just behind Gai- "It's late and my Ruka owns me one."- Iruka gives him a deadly look just for warning. - "One… Dinner."

"Ahh… My eternal rival… I don't think you do much better than the others."- Waving the report in front of his face.

"Why do you think I always give them late?"- He gave them a naughty look. - "I check more than twice."

The look on Gai's face was priceless, he look defeated, tears running down his cheeks, no more longer the superhero posture, but then and idea pop on his head and he smiled.

"So, my eternal rival"-superhero posture again-"I'll challenged you! To write a better report than I next time! If I am to loose I'll do 149 laps up and down the Hokage Monument while hoping in one foot, holding a steamy bowl of curry on my head- Kakashi just starred at him in disbelieve- with my right arm tied up behind my back!"

Kakashi just shock his head, from what part of Gai's twisted mind came all this ideas for punishments. Gai was now laughing for no reason, he look at Iruka and made a sing with his head to go home. Iruka took his things and they departed with Gai not even noticing. They were walking down the street heading home and still could hear Gai's laughs.

"So, at least tell me you were late because you overslept."

"Sorry…"-Kakashi hold his hand. - "I was on the memorial stone and I lost track of the time."

"Oh ok."- Iruka just looks the other way, disappointed. - "Hokage Sama told you to rest."

"I did…. For an hour!"-Trying to look him on the eyes. - "Iruka…. You are not mad at me? Are you?"

"Naih… Is just that my day wasn't good, I'm hungry, tired, didn't get much sleep last night thanks to you, and you. You the one who's supposed to be recovering is not. What do you want to have a relapse and have taken you to the hospital?"- He stop about to slap in the head so hard that he'll get amnesia.

"Iruka"

"What?"-yelling

"Calm down…'

"How do you expect me to calm down…"- Kakashi grab his face and give him a kiss that made Iruka's toes curl.

"Better?"- Iruka just nodded not being able to catch his breath.

"Come on lets go home."-Holding him tight- "You own me one."

"Dinner?"

"Yeah that one too."

Before Iruka notice they were on bed again, he was stroking Kakashi's impossible hair which was damp with sweat.

"I love you Kashi."- He got a snore for an answer.-"So guess I'll go to sleep to. See you in the morning love."

Author's Note: Hope you like it. This is my second. By the way I forgot to say that if I did own Naruto, Sasuke's character would not have survived the first chapter. Ok having taken that out of my system, you may carry on reading. Be good with the reviews please.
