Summary: Kakashi's POV to Gray

Disclaimer: Kishi pwns us all.



Kakashi brushed a hand through his hair wishing he'd brought his umbrella. He knew it was going to rain. Sighing, he considered his options.



Going home wasn't going to work, he didn't have anything in the house to eat. The downside to being on missions so much meant everything spoiled and he had to replace it whenever he returned. The few things that didn't rot, weren't exactly food. Stuff in can and instant ramen did not constitute a meal. It was stuff you hate until you could find real food.



He could, he supposed, actually /go shopping/ but that would take more time than the weather was willing to give him. Then not only would he be soaked, whatever he bought would be. And, although, that wasn't exactly a problem, juggling wet bags while fishing out keys was. It required more effort than he wanted to put forth.



Coming around a corner, he spotted a familiar brown ponytail and decided the shopping could, most definitely, wait. The chunin sat in an open air stall with nothing but a few bits of fabric and faded wood between himself the threatening weather, seemingly lost in his thoughts.



Iruka didn't seem to notice him as he ducked inside the small food stall before the rain could come down on him. "Are you alright Iruka-sensei?" Kakashi asked, slipping into the chair across from the chunin.



Only then didn the other seem to notice him, blinking in surpise. "Did you say something Kakashi-sensei?"



Is there something troubling you, Iruka-sensei?"



"No." Iruka sighed. "I was just thinking that it seems very... gray out today."



The response surprised him. He hadn't expected it to be the weather that had the man looking... lost? "I suppose your right. It does look like we'll be getting some rain soon. That's too bad, I was enjoying the sunshine."



"I like the rain," Iruka said smiling and not even looking outside where it was just now beginning to drizzle.



Kakashi laughed, shaking his head. "Really?"



"Mmmhmm... didn't you know? Gray's my favorite color..." Iruka said, his eyes never straying from Kakashi's.



"Oh?" He wondered what the chunin meant. Not that the question was out of place but there seemed to be more to it than that from the way the other was staring at him. He ran a hand through his hair, blushing as the realization hit him that Iruka meant him. "Oh..." Kakashi said smiling beneath his mask.



The silence hanging between them had a strange comfortable warmth to it, despite that they were sitting under the rain.
