(Kakashi POV)

As we watched all three boys pass out and swiftly caught them, we all locked eyes and placed the boys in the bed. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that Naru had just explained to me. 'Why wouldn't A'keylah come to me? Why hadn't she informed me? What else don't I know.' Before I could lose myself in my thoughts, I felt a hand grab mine. I looked up to see Iruka looking at me with some much worry and concern. And before I could even get a word out, I was being dragged out of the room and pulled into a hug. "Oh Kashi. I'm not even sure what to say to what we've just witnessed." Iruka said while still holding me tight in his arms. 'My heart is beating way too fast and I'm not sure if its because Iru-chan or Naru-chan. Why wouldn't she tell me? What am I gonna do? Since when did Iru-chans touch feel so calmin- wait wait wait whatttttt?!?!'

"-KASHI!! KAKASHI!!! Please dont overthink any of this, we'll be with you every step of the way." Iruka screamed while shaking me out of thought and looking at me with concerned eyes. "I-I'm ok Iru-chan, calm down. Yes I was a bit out of it but i-i think I'm alright. Especially knowing you all will be with me. Arigato guys." I gave them all my famous eye smile only to be pulled into a bear crushing hug. "WAHHHHH YOUR AS CUTE AS YOU WERE WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE NARU'S AGE!" wailed Kushina, her grip getting tighter. "Ku-kushina you must let him go, he needs to breathe!" Minato sensei said while pulling his wife off of me. Then something it me. "I do have a question Minato-sensei." He looked up from patting Kushinas head who was sulking and mumbling something about being pulled away from a cute bean which made me sweat drop. 'Am i supposed the cute bean??" "Yes Kakashi what is it?" Snapping out of my thoughts again I looked at my former sensei. "Do you think it would be possible for me to send Naru-chan into the academy early? Like maybe the same time the twins go back in from their break next month?" It took Minato a minute to answer. "If that is what you would like then yes I can make it happen, but are you sure he's ready for this? He hasn't had much social experience until now." I looked down thinking. 'Hmm is he ready? Am..am I ready?'

"I'm not sure. I-I'm not even sure if I'm ready for it. But I'll make sure to ask him about it." I said while rubbing the back of my neck. "I think it'll be a good thing. It'll bring him out of his shell and I can watch him for you while your on missions. I'll even walk him home and help him. I'll help you raise him, you can even move in with me if you'd like. I know the memories of this place can haunt you." I looked up a bit shocked at what Iru-chan had said. 'Iru-chan..' I felt my face get hot and quickly looked away and nodded, finding it hard to speak.

-Timeskip to next morning-
~Naruto's POV~

'Itai~ my head. Damn did I get hit with something or some shit.' I winced while opening my eyes and bringing my hand up to my head only to feel more thank just my hair. That's when it all came rushing back. 'Ahhh damnit all.' "Stop all that cursing right this instant mister." I instantly knew who it was. "Sorry Ten-chan, I was kinda out of it." I responded nervously. "Hmpf you better be." I giggled a little shaking my head only to freeze all movements when I heard the sound of my room door opening. I felt my ears and tail instantly stick up as I let out a low growl then pounced on whoever decided to enter my room. "Mā mā Naru, it's only me." I instantly stopped and sat on my tou-sans chest and tilted my head giving him a eye smile while feeling my tails wagging really fast which caused tou-san to chuckle and for me to get embarrassed and trying to catch my tails and make them stop.

"Awwe, you guys are so cute!" I instantly looked up and ran underneath my bed. 'Damnit why am I still so shy. But it isn't my fault hmpf people are just so nerve wrecking. Ahhhh why is this so frustrating.' "Aww come on Naru-chan, it's ok. It's just me and Iru-chan." Tou-san said with a little chuckle while slowly peeking underneath my bed to reach for me. Hesitantly, I reached for his hand only to be pulled into his arms and held close. It was then that I noticed father was looking at me with eyes full of love and adoration which made me hide in his chest only to hear him coo at me like I was a child. I quickly got out of his hold and crossed my arms. "Stupid tou-san treating me like a baby. I'm six years old not six months hmpf." A small chuckle interrupted my mumbling which I just noticed I was still doing. 'OH KAMI IM SO STUPID!!!' "Why hello there little guy, I don't know if you remember me or not but I'm Iruka formally known as Dolphin-san. It's very nice to meet you." Iruka greeted very kindly. For some reason, when I looked into his eyes, i instantly felt safe. Comforted. Almost like-

"Papa." I felt my tails wag and my face get flushed. "I-I'm s-sorry. I-i didn't mean to it just happened." I quickly hid my face in my hands and squatted letting my tails shield me. Tears quickly pooled inside my eyes. 'Oh no oh no oh no here it comes. The rejection. I-i why did I have to say that!? What the hell is wrong with me!' I felt my chest tighten and the tears pouring down my face. My breathing was hard and I could hear the blood pumping in my ears. I was panicking. My head was pounding and I wanted to hide but stayed very still filled with nothing but pure fear. Everything around me seemed to disappear, until.. "-ruto its alright. Everything's ok. Everything's gonna be ok. I'm here, we're here. Papa's here. Open your eyes sweetheart. Papa's right here." At that, my eyes flung open and I clutched on tight to him as he soothed my worries and held me closer. When I felt as if I could breathe again, I snuggled closer to him. "Sorry papa." I said just below a whisper I didn't think he'd hear but he did and kissed my forehead while moving my hair from my eyes while smiling down at me with the same look tou-san gave me. Does he really..care?

(Iruka POV)

'Poor kid, he must have been so scared. I still cant believe he called me papa. I-is it weird that I'm happy about it? What will Kakashi say? What will he do?!' That thought quickly snapped me back into reality. Fearfully, I looked at Kakashi only to see his facial expressions soften. He looked at ease, almost relieved and relaxed which confused me. "H-hey kashi, a-are you ok with this? I-i mean him calling me papa and all. I-it doesn't bother you or anything r-right?" I cold feel the blush reach my ears as Kakashi looked at me. Before I could say anything Kakashi began to chuckle and scooted closer. I was still holding Naru who had dozed off which was the cutest thing ever. My attention was brought back to Kakashi when I felt his hand in my hair. I looked up to meet his eye as he began to speak. "If we're being honest Iruka, I'm glad it's you.
You're literally the closest person to me and I was planning on letting you meet him sooner but wasn't sure how he'd take it or react. Besides we both know I haven't tried to hide how I feel for you for the past year. So if you think about it, i should be asking you those questions." He ended with a eye smile not knowing what he just did to me. Kakashi you big dummy! King dummy! Making my face all flustered like that! Dummy dumb head! Dumb dumb dumb stupid dumb!' "Aww you're just so cute when you blush like that Iru-chan~." Kakashi said looking at me teasingly which made me even more flustered. Shoving his face away from mine stuttered, "S-shut up you damn pervert!" Looking down only to be met with the prettiest luminous lavender colored eyes I've ever seen. I couldn't help but send him a warm, soft smile. Which seemed to make him happy with the way his tails swished slowly.

"Pa-papa?" I couldn't help but smile more at the small shy six year old in my arms. "Yes little one, its papa. How was your nap kiddo? Are you feeling ok? You hungry?" I felt him snuggle closer and nod. I looked up to see Kashi watching us with a soft fond smile in his eyes. 'The family I have now..I hope to keep it forever.'
