"You tell me. Do you mind if I stay with you tonight?" - "But not. You know you are warm
welcome to my place. "Iruka was just turning down his bed. His best friend Kakashi Hatake, 26 years old, was taking a shower. Iruka Umino, 25 years old, had changed. He only had one bed. That was called Kakashi and he himself
slept in a bed. That was nothing new, however. They were all best friends. They did that all the time.
They both lived in the village of Konohagakure. The village under the leaves. Run by Sandaime-sama.
“Are you ready?” Iruka called into the bathroom. “Wait a minute.” There was an answer. Iruka crawled into bed.
It was already 10 p.m. in the evening. Tomorrow they would have to get up early again. Iruka just pulled the covers up to her nose,
when the bed sank slightly. “That was good.” Hatake groaned. "At least you have the towel back
hanged right? "-" Yes, you cleaning devil. sleep better "Kakashi pulled the ceiling higher too. It took a while
not long and both fell asleep.You could already think that the two were a couple.
But this was not so. Iruka was like a little brother to Kakashi. And Hatake was a big one for Umino.
A kind of substitute family. In her sleep, Iruka always snuggled up against the elder. It was like that every time.
Iruka was the first to wake up early in the morning. He slowly opened his eyes. What he saw first was that
His friend's face. "Kakashi, wake up or we'll be late." He shook his shoulder
his opposite. If he didn't wake up, Iruka couldn't get up either. Kakashi had, im
Sleep with an arm around him. "Only 5 minutes left .." he mumbled half asleep. "Oh, I know you.
If you say 5 minutes it will turn into 3 hours .. "Iruka tried to get free. Hardly possible.
Again Kakashi was in a deep sleep. "Hmz !!" Iruka kissed Kakashi on the cheek. How on
Command the elder woke up. “Finally !!” Iruka jumped out of bed and went into the bathroom.
He came out of the bathroom about half an hour later.He was wearing his ninja dress and his hair
tied in a braid. “Did you sleep well?” Iruka went into the kitchen. "It couldn't be better."
Kakashi went into the bathroom. A fresh scent wafted towards him. Iruka made tea. The sun was shining brightly
in the small apartment. While the tea was brewing and Kakashi was in the bathroom, Iruka made the bed tidy.
Put everything back exactly. A few minutes later the friends were sitting at the table and drinking tea.
"Hard training again today?" Iruka took a sip, "mhm. Let's see what I'm doing today .."
Iruka looked at the clock: "Uh. We have to go." Since Hatake often stayed at Iruka he rarely came
too late for duty. Which amazed his students very much. Both were done. They left the apartment and
set out on their way. Iruka looked around dreamily. Their paths parted at a crossroads.
"See you later?" - "I'll pick you up from the academy later." - "Okay bye." You sway again
until they had to go.After the training with his students was over, Kakashi set off
to the academy. Like almost every day, he would pick up Iruka and accompany her home. "Hey Kakashi!" The addressed turned around. Hagane stood behind him. “The Hokage wants to speak to you.” Immediately the Jo-Nin set off. “You wanted to speak to me Sandaime-sama?” Sandaime handed Hatake a scroll. "I have
a job for you. The scroll must go to Iwagakure. A ! A-Mission: Iruka Umino will accompany you. "Kakashi paused." A job? "Sandaime nodded." Yes but. It's too dangerous for Iruka. "Iruka was just walking down the hall.
He had reports on hand for Sandaime-sama. He couldn't wait until everything was ready. He would have a nice evening with Hatake again. He opened the door a little. Heard a familiar voice. "He has hardly any combat experience.
He would only get hurt. I don't want Iruka on the job. "He thought he had misheard.Kakashi didn't want him there? He dropped the reports. That hurt him. Kakashi turned around, “Iruka?” He wanted to go to him, but Iruka closed the door and quickly disappeared. "Damn it .." Kakashi mumbled. "I'm sorry, Sandaime-sama.
But please find another yo-nin. "He bowed and ran out. Iruka had that
misunderstood. First he searched the academy. “Have you seen Iruka?” He came into the room where she is
Jo-Nins stopped. "He said he was not doing so well and went home. To be honest
he looked quite pale. "Confirmed Kurenai" Thank you! "At home, then. It would be difficult
To make that clear to Iruka. He could be so fat-headed. Like a little child. Iruka had dropped into the bed.
Bury your face deep in the pillow. Even if he didn't really want to, he had to cry.
The words of his 'best' friend touched him very much. Actually, he wouldn't have thought that of him. He knew Kakashi would show up soon.He didn't want to see him. Don't hear his voice. His pillow smelled of him.
He got up quickly, took the key and left the apartment. Just went away, popped up 10 minutes later
also hatake at Iruka's apartment. He knocked. For 5 minutes. He noticed that he wasn't there.
Where could he have gone? He quickly went to look. Iruka had misunderstood that.
He just didn't want Iruka to come along because he was afraid that something might happen to Iruka
Iruka ran through Konoha. Lowered your eyes. Why did Kakashi say such words? They hit Iruka deeply, something like that
he would not have thought of his best friend. "Iruka?" The addressee turned around. "I thought you wanted to
have a nice evening with Hatake? "Kamizuki Izumo stood in front of Iruka." Iruka ?? What is? Do you have something. You look like this .. "Kamizuki couldn't even finish speaking. Iruka fell into his arms and started to cry. After a few minutes they were both sitting next to each other on the bench." Oh, that's it .. "Kamizuki fell back .Iruka had his hands buried in his lap. Still staring at the floor. "I honestly can't imagine that he would say something like that." Kamizuki put a hand on Iruka's shoulder, calming down. “Just talk to him, huh?” He tried to raise Iruka. They were friends. Knew each other for a long time. "I don't know .." Iruka whispered. "Well, it can't get any worse, can it? I also know how much you feel for him." Iruka was shocked. "What? Feel?" - "Come on. You'd have to be blind not to see it. There's nothing left with big brother, little brother. "-" yes, but .. "-" Nothing but Iruka. Be honest with yourself and don't talk it out. You can say it. "-" Say what? "Kamizuki rolls along with you the eyes. “I mean that you love him.” Iruka was embarrassed. Love? “How can you be so sure about that?” It seemed as if Iruka wouldn't admit it to herself. "You can see that just by looking at you when he picks you up. You also shine like that every time he shows up."(I think we got it ôo?) -" You're right .. "Kamizuki pulled the younger one into a hug." Just go over to him. Talk to him about it and then you tell him huh? And when you did that, tell me how it turned out, yes? "Iruka nodded weakly." Thanks again Kamizuki-kun, "-" No problem. "
Iruka went on his way. "So. And now I'm going to eat Haga-chan hihi!" And so Kamizuki went .. Despite the good words of Kamizuki, Iruka didn't know how to say it.
Deep in thought he went on his way. After three more steps, deliberation, he bumped into someone.
"To apologize." He looked up. He stopped. Kakashi stood in front of him. There was an awkward silence. “I have to talk to you Iruka.” He nodded. They went to a quiet place where they could talk. Found them too. They sat down on a bench. They continued to be silent. The silver haired sighed deeply. "Listen. You got it wrong." - "How did you mean it then? I don't see any other meaning in it.“Iruka sounds slightly irritated. Or bitchy.” I said to Sandaime-sama that I don't want you with me because it's too dangerous. It would have been an A job. " - "And further? Because I have hardly any combat experience? How do you think I passed the Chu-Nin exam? Tinker with flowers? "-" Don't be bitchy and listen to me first.
I said that because I don't want anything to happen to you. "-" What happens to me? "Iruka turned her head to Kakashi." Yes, you know. You are my best friend. I would only have blamed myself if something had happened to you. I told Hokagen to hire someone else to do it. "-" You just refused the job? You don't usually do that. "-" Jo. that's how it is. I prefer to hang out with you. "Iruka had to cry involuntarily. Why didn't he know himself. Maybe because it turned out that he had just misunderstood it?
He pressed himself firmly against hatake's chest. Literally clung to the green vest."Come on, stop crying." - "I'm sorry." Iruka mumbled through tears. "What are you sorry for?" Carefully, Kakashi put his arms around the younger boy. "That I was so bitchy." - "It's okay. But we should go home, huh?" - "No. Let's stay seated." Iruka pushed more against Kakashi. It just felt great to be in his arms .. "I talked to Kamizuki earlier. He showed me something important." - "What?" Iruka straightened up. He seemed very embarrassed. “That I love you.” There was a short silence. "You're cute." Kakashi took off his mouth towel and kissed Iruka gently .. "I love you too." They just sat there for another 2 hours. Arm-in-arm.
