Lovestruck

Ch. 5

When Iruka looked up, there was a faint pinkish color to his cheeks. 'Was he blushing?' I asked myself.

"Kakashi.. I was really worried when you didn't wake up." He said. I smirked. "I don't give up that easy." I said. He chuckled. "No, I guess you don't." He said.

"How long was I out?" I asked, looking around. He looked at the time. "About six hours." He said, looking back at me.

That long? I sighed. "Has anyone come looking for me?" I asked. He looked as if he blushed more. "Yes. But I said I haven't seen you, since you left." He said.

My eyes grew wide. "Why?" I asked, looking at him. "C-Cause.." He began. Looking deep into his eyes. "I didn't want them to take you away." He said.

'Wait.. What is he saying?' I thought to myself. "Iruka?" I asked. He shook his head. "Maybe that was a stupid idea. I'll go make some tea." He said, standing up.

Before I could say anything, he was already out of the room. I tried to stand up, grunting softly, until I was on my feet.

I waited a minute, so I could catch my balance. After I did, I walked out to the kitchen. Just barely realizing, I was no longer wearing my mask. "Iruka.." I said.

He poured boiling water into cups, and put a teabag in each cup. "Iruka, please don't ignore me." I said, walking closer to him. "I'm not ignoring you Kakashi. Just.. Forget I said anything." He said.

"No. I have to tell you something, and you can hate me after this. But ever since I first met you." I began, standing behind him. "Ever since I met you, I've been-" I was cut off, when Iruka pulled me into a soft, yet passionate kiss.

"Me too." He whispered. Both of us were blushing deeply, as we kissed again. I picked him up, and set him on top of the counter. Holding his waist, as he wrapped his arms around my neck.

I slipped my tongue into his mouth, as he swirled his around mine. Our eyes closed. When we pulled away, I stared into Iruks's eyes, and whispered.
