The bond of friendship: kakashi x iruka

Chapter 5: just an average day

Iruka's pov:

For the past few days Kakashi has been somewhat closer to me. It seems like we have gone back to how it used to be, us almost acting like brothers, but with something hidden between. Kakashi has a smirk on his face whenever I'm around, something that makes me a little uncomfortable, like he's planning something. Not sure if I want to find out what it is...

Finally a day off, with nothing better to do I decided to spend the day in the training grounds working on my new technique. As the hours pass by, my hunger increases.

"Fooooood.." I quietly utter to myself. Turning around to go straight to my fav ramen shop. As I turn around I'm met with Sakura "oh hi" I said caught off guard.

"Sensei, follow me!" As she began dragging me in the direction she wanted me to follow her in.

After a while of walking we ended up just outside one of the training halls "wait here!" As she enter into the hall

"But whhy?" My question left unanswered

Only a minute passed when a voice from inside shouted "COME IN!" Loud enough for me to hear.

I enter the hall, the room pitch black, I attempted to make my way to the centre of the room.

The lights flashed on as I was met with the room full of almost half the town, balloons surrounding them "happy birthday!"

My eyes widened 'I forgot' I began greeting them all, my smile widening as much as my eyes 'I forgot and they remembered'

People made some room for Kakashi and naruto to make their way into the circle surrounding me with a huge cake as they began singing to me.

"Wow guys thank you"

"Don't act so surprised, you must have thought we were up to something!" A student propped up.

"Anyway it was mainly Kakashi Sensei's idea to have a party here, so you should be thanking him" I turned to Kakashi as he placed the cake on the side of the table with a smile, he smiled back.

*spongebob voice* "mainly hours laterr"

As the party continued the younger members of the group left (kicked out) because the alcohol. So it just left anbu members and close friends, getting absolutely wasted.

"Another one" walking away from the dance floor to grab myself more drink, hitting the side of my hip into a table edge. "Arhhhh!" Smacking floor with a few heads turning my direction.

"Iruka!" Kakashi called out while running over.

"Shit that hurt a lot."

"You'll live.." Kakashi whined back whilst lifting me from the floor. "..seems like the birthday boy has had a bit too much to drink, the rest of you can clean this mess up!" Pushing both of us towards the door, with everyone sighing in the background.

We reach the house with Kakashi still holding me up as I continue to hold my hip from the pain. "The great iruka Sensei killed by a table?" Laughing at my soreness.

I ignored him, he guided me to my room and laid me onto the bed, still tossing around. "Let's see what's the big fuss is about.." as Kakashi slowly held my my shirt up and moved my hand out the way. "..already bruising..?" He questioned.

He gave the surrounding area a poke "ouch!" As I grabbed the wound, squirming around again.

I paused to notice I was holding something, kakashi's hand... "errrr" as I moved my hand away, reminding myself about what had happened before.
