You Are My Sunshine (Kakashi/Iruka)

"Kakashi!" Iruka's eyes snapped open with his own shot, and he sat up with a gasp. He'd broken into acold sweat, and his blankets were wrapped tightly around his legs. *'It must have been another nigtmare.'* He thought, the memories of the dream fleeting.
He took deep breaths, gulping in air as he tried to slow his heart rate. He jumped as his door open, and Kakashi came in to sit on the edge of the bed. Neither of them said anything as Kakashi slid into the bed next to Iruka, sliding down with him to hold Iruka against his chest. Iruka clung to Kakashi, barrying his head into the crook of the silver-haired ninja's shoulder. It wasn't long before Iruka felt the vibration in Kakashi's chest as he began to sing softly.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" he began melodically, "my only sunshine..."

Iruka paced, the storm raging outside the window reflecting his turmoil within. He worried. Extremely worried for the Chunin exams this year. They were very dangerous, deadly in most cases. Naruto was strong, so were the other genin, but they weren't ready. Not for this. Not after all they'd been through already. Iruka wasn't certain they ever would be.
Iruka's pacing was interupted suddenly as Kakashi's arm wrapped around his shoulders.
"Iruka, what's all this stress about?" Kakashi asked, nonchalant as usual. Iruka sighed, leaning his head back against Kakashi's arm. Kakashi waited patiently for Iruka to answer.
"It's about the Chunin exams." Iruka admitted after a moment of listening to the thudding rain. It was Kakashi's turn to sigh, and he led Iruka to sit at the table by the window.
"Listen, I trust that they can make it through the exams. And you trust me, right?" Kakashi asked, though I was more rhetorical, holding Iruka's hands. Iruka took a deep breath, and gave a curt nod.
"I do trust you." He replied, leaning against Kakashi as he turned towars the window. Iruka smiled as Kakashi's voice rose over the rain.
"You make me happy, when skies are grey." He sang, gently rbbig Iruka's shoulder.

The battle had started suddenly, almost withou warning. The dead had started to walk, the walls were literally closin in on them. It was all they could do to evacuate the village and keep their attackers at bay. And then shit had hit the fan. Somehow, things had gotten worse. Kakashi and Iruka had found thereselves outnumbered, and secluded from the rest of the fighters. They'd been doing their best, but it wasn't enough. They were over run, and they both knew it. They couldn't just run, they needed to keep as many as possible away from the village. Iruka was trying desperatly not to worry. And, it was working.
Until Kakashi had been stabbed. The realization hit Iruka hard. Kakashi could die. Kakashi *would definitely* die, espaically havin been struck by one of the undead. Iruka had frozen, nearly getting hit himself as he dashed towards his lover, the realization sinkin inside him like a rock. His heart dropped, worry pooling in his stomach.
"Oh god oh god oh god." He whispered quickly, dropping to his knees next to Kakashi. Kakashi was clutching at his chest, putting pressure on it.
"Y-ou have...to get out of here." Kakashi struggled to speak, blood beginning to leak from the corners of his mouth as he coughed. Iruka could barelly hear him over the blood rushing to his ears. His eyes were glued to the blood gushing from under Kakashi's fingers instead of the approaching hoard. Then he was moving fast, shaking finger ripping fabric from his vest to cover the wound.
You can't die. Please live. Please, please." Iruka begged, barelly above a whisper as tears poured down his cheeks. He held back a sob as Kakashi's blood soaked his hands. "Hold on." He begged, praying to every diety he knew about as he wrapped his arms around Kakashi to lift him up. Kakashi grunted in pain, curling against him with a hiss. Iruka placed his lips to Kakashi's pale skin in a gentle kiss before taking off, hoping to bring Kakashi away from the danger.
Kakashi was gaspin by the time they reahed a safe distance from the raging battle.
"Come on Kakashi. Please." Iruka pleaded, rocking with Kakashi, despair sinkin deeper and deeper as Kakashi's breathing became laboured. Kakashi pushed against him, and Iruka let him lie on the rooftop. "I'm so sorry..." Iruka nearly sobbed. Kakashi's hand reached up to caress Iruka's cheek, face surprisingly serene.
"It's ok." Kakashi's voice was raspy, and Iruka began to realize there was no hope. Kakashi would bleed out. He was dying. Kakashi, the copy ninja of the leaf, and love of Iruka's life was...dying. Iruka reached down to cup Kakashi's face as well, tears still streaming down his cheeks as he began to sing.
"Y-you are my sunshine," his voice cracked, and he sniffled as he took a dep breath to continue, "my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies.." he sobbed, bowing his head "you make me happy, when skies are grey. You...you never know, dear.." he couldn't stop his tears, shaking with the sobs racking him as he tried to comfort his dying lover. His prescious Kakashi was dying in his arms, and he could do nothing. "You never know dear, how much I love you." His voice was barelly above a whisper as he leaned down to kiss Kakashi's softly. "Please don't take my sunshine away." He finished with a deep, shaky breath. He placed his forehead against Kakashi's, listening closely as his breathin faded until he couldn't hear it anymore.
Iruka frantically searched for a pulse, picking up Kakashi's cooling body to hold him against his chest. He was shaking, with fear and anger and pure despair. His sobs broke ou once more, he couldn't hold them in. They were loud, shouts displaying his pain, releasing his anger into the ajr around him. Kakashi was dead. Dead. Oh gods, please, no! Iruka broke down, curling over Kakashi protectively as sobs racked through him, his entire body shaking. "Please, no." His voice was broken, barelly above a whisper. "You can't be dead. You just can't."

Iruka had to leave Kakashi eventually, but not before bringing his corse away from the fight. He didn't deserve that, to be stuck in the same place he died. The battle had raged until long past morning, espaically after an akatsuki member calling himself "pein" had shown up. Iruka couldn't brin himself to care, couldn't bring himself to feel anything. The entire village was crushed. Nothing but a crater with walls around it. It brought tears rushing back to Iruka's eyes, but he was too tired tired to cry. To worn out.

It was not until those thought dead began to push out of the rubble, that Iruka stood. His eyes widened as hope budded in his chest, but part of him knew that it couldn't possibly be. The body count had lessened, and the hospital was full. He waited, for a week, to see if Kakashi's name would appear on the list of dead. It was of great suprise when his name appeared, not on the list of dead, but of those I injured.
Relief flooded through Iruka, tears springing to his eyes once more as he dashed through the halls to Kakashi's room.
And there he was. Lying in the bed, eyes closed, unconciousness and overed in bandages, but alive. Iruka picked up the clip board at the end of the bed, looking over it quickly before sighing and putting it down.
"It says you'll be ok." He knew Kakashi probably couldn't hear him, but he walked over to sit at the edge of the bed. He picked Kakashi's hand up, holding it tightly. "Your a real jerk. You had me worried." Iruka tried to joke, using his free hand to whipe at tears. Kakashi continued to sleep peacefully, chest rising and falling. Iruka took a deep breath. "The other nigh dear, while I was sleeping.." he began to sin softly, almost absentmindedly. "I dreamnt I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistken, so I held my head and I cried." He sang soft, light, almost a whisper as he watched Kakashi.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine." Kakashi's voice make Iruka look up with a gasp, a smile stretching across his face s relief hit him, bringing tears to fall down his cheeks. "You make me happy, when skies are grey."
"Kakashi!" Iruka quickly pulled him into a hug, making the other grunt in pain.
"That's not how it goes." Kakashi said with a small chuckle. Iruka shook his head, clutching Kakashi tightly.
"Shut up and kiss me." Iruka muttered in repsonse, leaning up only to firmly plant his lips to Kakashi's.
