Best Laid Plans

Kakashi jumped to the ground, right in front of Izumo and Iruka.

"A little too much to drink tonight, Iruka?" He noted with satisfaction that both men were highly agitated and embarrassed. He noted with even more satisfaction that they both still had delicious looking erections.

"How are Raidou and Genma?" Iruka tried to glare at Kakashi, but his flushed, sweaty face couldn't quite pull it off. He settled for frowning while he smoothed down his rumpled clothing.

Kakashi silently noted Iruka's bitter acknowledgment of where he had just come from, then turned to watch Izumo kick lightly at the sidewalk, squirming a little as he tried to discretely adjust himself. Kakashi watched the attempts at adjustment, thinking about what was waiting in those pants as well as who had gotten him so hard, and how. He wet his lips under his mask before continuing his conversation with Iruka.

"Lucky thing I came along when I did. I'd hate for you to do anything you'd regret, like go against your strict moral code." He smiled a friendly, conversational smile. "So, where were you guys headed?" He pushed his hands into his pockets and started walking in the general direction of Kotetsu's apartment. After only a moment's hesitation the other men trailed along behind him.

Iruka walked unsteadily by Izumo's side, calling ahead, "I'm in the middle of a plan, Most Revered Copy Nin. If you're still ready to go after already screwing me, Genma, and Raidou tonight you can just find someone else. I had a plan that I'm not going to unplan just because you're lurking around in the trees, jumping out at the worst fucking time."

The surprise Kakashi felt at the actual venom in Iruka's voice was overpowered by the fact that Iruka struck him as so freaking- there was no better word- cute. He sounded so cute stumbling around back there, all fussed over his disrupted "plan" and interrupted grope session.

Kakashi allowed himself one quick smile. "I showed up at the worst fucking time, eh?"

He heard Izumo nervously clear his throat, then murmur something to Iruka. Iruka answered in a low voice, and whatever he said made the two of them laugh softly. Everything was going according to Kakashi's own plan, although... There was something about that shared laugh... Something that felt not quite right. Not so cute. Kakashi shook off the undefinable, odd feeling and returned his focus to the game at hand. Sasuke had told him to "figure things out" and that was exactly what he was doing.

He slowed down so that the other men had no choice but to catch up and walk alongside him. Peering past Iruka, Kakashi peeked below Izumo's equator to make sure he was still in the mood. Mmmm.... Yesss. Very nice. Slightly-weaving Iruka was clearly up for more playtime, as well.

Kakashi decided it was time to get things moving again. He took a wide, sliding step sideways to be almost-but-not-quite brushing up against Iruka as they walked. They walked in uneasy silence for a few moments, then Kakashi leaned just a little bit closer and spoke softly, close to Iruka's ear.

"Were you disappointed by my interruption? Maybe you're wishing you were still running your tongue over Izumo's..." Encouraged by Iruka's sharp intake of breath he continued.

"Are you wanting to finish what you started and unfasten his pants, reach in, and touch what you've only seen on a poor quality video? Maybe you're thinking of the video we watched... Thinking about Izumo, tied to the bed, begging Kotetsu to talk to him, to touch him, and then being pleasured by Genma while Raidou and Kotetsu watched. Maybe you're thinking about how well your friend Izumo plays games. Are you thinking about any of those things, Iruka?"

Neither man verbally responded, but Izumo's blush was a pretty thing to see, and Iruka moved even closer to his friend.

Kakashi leaned forward and looked past Iruka, addressing Izumo directly. "You'll have to watch the video sometime. You and Genma are both very photogenic, but I believe Iruka's favorite parts involve you. Specifically, the scenes involving you being tied to Genma's bed. Do you like the thought of Iruka watching you being touched, tasted, and fucked... and touching himself while he watches?"

Iruka closed his eyes for several steps, drawing his bottom lip into his mouth and gently biting down.

Izumo reflexively covered his face with one hand, studiously avoiding eye contact with Kakashi and trying to give himself another discrete adjustment.

Kakashi arranged his features into a look of innocence. "What's wrong? We're all adults here. We can talk about these things. We'll just talk while we walk, killing time while you two sober up a little. You were going this way, right?" He quickly continued before Iruka could stammer through any more protests. "You don't have to tell me where you're going. I don't want to mess up your plans."

He continued walking serenely down the sidewalk, assuming an air of ignorance regarding Iruka's hand sneaking over to brush Izumo's ass, and Izumo's deepening blush preceding an answering, lightning-fast grope. The under-the-breath moans went unacknowledged, as did each sharp intake and soft exhalation of breath. Kakashi felt his body responding to each "secret" touch until Iruka finally remembered his presence enough to directly address him.

"So, exactly how much did you... um... hear... before you came down from your spying perch?" He and Izumo brushed together with more force than usual as Izumo turned to walk down the long street leading to Kotetsu's and Iruka kept moving forward. They reached out to steady each other, sharing another one of those laughs that did that strange thing to Kakashi's stomach. They got themselves sorted out and the three of them started on their way again.

Kakashi ignored the odd, fleeting feeling and Iruka's sassy attitude. He thought through his answer, and had a moment of deep respect for Ibiki and his wisdom in hinting that Izumo would be the perfect man for this particular mission. "I heard Izumo explaining about different levels of intimacy. So well put..." He nodded his respect towards Izumo, just as Izumo was reaching for Iruka's backside.

Ignoring the clandestine grope, Kakashi turned back to Iruka and continued. "His reasoning explains exactly why I didn't mind seeing him running his hands over your ass and pulling you closer for an even deeper kiss. I wasn't upset when you unzipped his pants and reached for what I"m sure is still an extremely hard erection, because I'm secure in our relationship."

The other two men exhaled audibly at this, and Iruka stumbled to a complete stop. Kakashi watched him wrestle with drunken confusion, his sense of propriety, and frustrated lust as he reflexively reached for Izumo, hesitated, reached a little more, then frowned and jerked his hands back to his sides, clenched into fists.

Kakashi tried to read Iruka's facial expressions and body language, planning his next move as expertly as a veteran Shogi player. He noted Iruka's struggle, then slid his gaze over to Izumo. He closely observed the other chuunin's obvious crumbling resolve, fueled by his primal love of exhibitionism and multiple partners.

Kakashi filed this information in his mind, silently warning himself: Careful now... Careful...

"I personally don't begrudge you the opportunity to give and receive sexual pleasure on a level of companionship from other people. That's the reason why I wouldn't mind if you shared another kiss with Izumo, or reached out to stroke down his hard cock, or if he did the same for you. But this isn't about me and my views of morality. It's about what you, from the core of your being, feel is morally wrong. You need to stand by your beliefs."

Even as Izumo visibly reacted to the sensuality of this speech, he frowned slightly, as though trying to add up some oddities from the evening.

Kakashi began mentally preparing a speech to nudge Izumo back on track, but Iruka spoke up and saved him the trouble.

"It didn't feel wrong to be kissing, and touching. And it didn't feel wrong to want to do what I was about to do before you..." He broke off, blushing and embarrassed. His hand wandered over to slowly lift up Izumo's shirt and trace the waistband of his pants.

The frown lines smoothed from Izumo's face as he gave in to temptation and reached for Iruka, pulling him close enough so that their aching, clothed erections brushed gently against each other. Both men were blushing and looking shyly down.

Kakashi slipped closer, but didn't actually touch either of them. He couldn't place the reason why, but somehow it just didn't feel right to interrupt, or disturb, or ...or something. Irritated with himself, he once again shook off the odd feeling and decided to give the other men another verbal nudge, moving the pieces of his plan one step further on the gameboard.

"Well, this might be a good time to try and define our exclusivity, Iruka. Don't look at it as cheating, but as strengthening our relationship. Especially since I'm right here. You could try different things with Izumo, then when you feel uncomfortable, or that it's going too far, you can stop. And then we'll know where to draw the line."

He waited half a moment until he noted they were pressing together with slightly more pressure, then continued."And I swear to you.. Where you draw the line with Izumo tonight will be where I draw the line with my friends. That way, you will have complete control over this aspect of our relationship and won't feel victimized or unhappy anymore. You may even leave the door open to some more creative possibilities in the future... But we don't need to talk about that tonight."

Kakashi pushed the mental image of Sasuke from his mind, determined not to push too hard, say too much, and ruin all of his hard work and planning. He used a perfectly neutral voice to ask, "What do you think?"

They had hit one of the critical moments of his plan. He had hoped that Ibiki would have rejoined them by now, but it was too late to worry about that. He forced himself to keep all anxiety and impatience from his face as he watched Iruka struggle to use his alcohol soaked brain to reason through this dilemma.

His uncovered eye followed the movement of Iruka's hands as they reached for Izumo's hips, hovering just above, and shaking just the slightest bit.

Ohhh, perfect... Izumo's body chose that moment to sway forward, pressing directly against the swelling in Iruka's pants. The two men had to grab onto one another to keep from falling.

Iruka closed his eyes, seeming to forget that Kakashi was even there. His attention was obviously focused on the feel of Izumo's hands sliding underneath his shirt, then just underneath the waist of his pants before pulling him close enough to press, rub, and squirm just hard enough to create some of that oh-so-nice friction.

Izumo, on the other hand... Izumo kept glancing over at Kakashi. After each half moment of eye contact, Izumo would grow more bold. Kakashi could see him feeding off of the voyeuristic static building between them, and becoming more desperately needy for sexual contact as well as becoming increasingly hungry for acknowledgement of his performance. Yesss, Ibiki.... Izumo was the perfect choice.

Kakashi took deep, calming breaths as he watched Izumo submerge deeper into the staged scene Kakashi had painstakingly arranged. He understood Izumo's impulses so clearly he felt as though they were thinking with one mind: Fleeting eye contact... Slide hands further down Iruka's pants... Check for watching eyes... Press forward harder and slowly circle hips, making Iruka moan... Glance over again... Slide hands back out and around front, unzipping Iruka's pants... One more confirmation of an audience, then hold eye contact... Pull out Iruka's velvety hard, hot, so-perfect erection while his lover, who had just fucked him hours before, watched and watched and then kept watching...

Kakashi nodded his highly aroused approval of Izumo's actions. He held their eye contact as Izumo started lowering himself to his knees.

As much as he hated to halt matters at this particular moment, he knew Iruka well enough to know it was necessary. "Wait..."

Iruka opened his eyes and swayed, shaking his head a little bit and seeming surprised to see Kakashi standing there. His inner struggle to uncloud his thinking flashed across his features as he asked, "You think we shouldn't do this out in the open?"

Kakashi was yet again amazed by his lover's thought processes. "Fuck yeah, you should do it out in the open- We just need to find somewhere for you to sit down." He gestured to a bench up the block a bit. "How about there?"

The exhibitionist in Izumo visibly thrilled at the idea of more people possibly seeing them. An anticipatory shiver ran down his back as he straightened up and took Iruka's hand, quickly leading his still-exposed friend to sit down.

Kakashi followed, crouching down a few feet away from the other men. He had the best possible view of Izumo as he settled on his knees between Iruka's legs, looking for Kakashi's approval one more time. Kakashi growled that approval and tried to will down the increasing discomfort in his own pants as Izumo looked from him back to Iruka's jutting hardness.

Iruka moaned low in his throat, spread his legs wider, and braced his feet against the ground. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back, arching up into Izumo's touch.

Izumo wet his lips in preparation as he carefully cupped Iruka's sac in his left hand, and gripped the bottom of his shaft with his right.

Kakashi watched his lover respond as Izumo brought his moistened lips down to run gently across the head of Iruka's erection. When Izumo opened his mouth wide and took the entire cockhead gently inside, brushing it softly and teasingly against the relaxed inside of his mouth, Iruka bucked up sharply to wordlessly beg for more, coaxing an answering moan from deep within Kakashi.

Izumo responded compassionately to that plea by quickly relaxing his throat and taking Iruka's entire length forcefully into his mouth, tightening his lips, and pulling his way back up.

This sight sent a jolt of wired heat straight to Kakashi's groin. He subtly lifted his forehead protector, wanting.. no, needing... increased vision to watch as Iruka's good friend Izumo kept his teasing just on the right side of pleasure without crossing over into torture... First sucking quickly and forcefully, then flickering a tongue along the head and edge of the ridge before quickly moving down to suck gently on Iruka's balls, and then responding to his friend's pleading murmurs of "Suck me... Oh, please Izumo.. I need it..." and coming down swiftly to swallow the entire shaft and begin the cycle again.

Kakashi forced himself not to reach between his own legs and stroke, not even through his clothing, as this still-early stage of the plan played itself out. He needed to remain somewhat aloof, completely in control. His cock strained against his pants, confused by this cruel and unusual treatment, jumping to attention when voices could be heard approaching from around the corner.

Izumo ran a flat, teasing tongue up Iruka's shaft, then glanced over at Kakashi as he noticed the approaching voices. He and Kakashi both glanced at Iruka, who sat with his head thrown back, eyes closed, in obvious oblivion as Izumo again took the entire length into his mouth. Izumo and Kakashi glanced at each other as the voices abruptly stopped, but the footsteps continued.

Kakashi had hoped any intruders would happen by a little further into their activities, but this was obviously a gamble he hadn't won. He had no intention of losing, either. He began to speak, hoping to keep Iruka ignorant of their surprise guests.

"Yesss, Izumo. I love the sweet-salty taste of that cock, too. Oh, fuck yeah- Iruka loves that.. Just like that... Tease that hard cock..." And on and on for the few minutes it took for the two shinobi to walk past. Chouji kept his embarrassed eyes averted, feigning a sudden fascination with the tree tops on the other side of the street.

However, Shikamaru... Kakashi and Izumo took turns making eye contact with the slightly slowing down, genius shinobi who ran his tongue slowly along the upper, corner edge of his upper lip as he passed. All three men made a mental note of this encounter... Of a very strong potential for friendship.

Kakashi fell back into observant silence once Chouji and Shikamaru were safely down the street. Nothing was going to interfere with this meticulously thought out plan. He smirked, feeling admiration for his own genius.

Izumo moaned and sped up his attentions, making Iruka moan as the vibrations and speed increased his pleasure to indescribable heights. Iruka lifted his hips to accomodate Izumo's frantic tugs at his pants. Both men worked to get Iruka's pants completely off without Izumo having to break contact.

After that successful mission, Izumo let his hands roam freely across Iruka's heated skin as his mouth licked, tasted, sucked, and moaned with desperate arousal. That arousal increased with each touch and sound of Iruka's, as well as from each glance shared with Kakashi.

As Kakashi shifted his body to a more comfortable crouch, he noticed that strange, unpleasant feeling once again beginning to curl around inside of his chest and in the depths of his stomach. The feeling would sharpen to a distinct ache when the two chuunin would do certain things, such as Iruka murmuring "Mmmm.... Izumo...." in a voice that Kakashi hadn't heard for years, or Izumo rubbing the inside of Iruka's thigh with his thumb, using a tenderness that somehow seemed out of place. A tenderness that seemed... the word escaped him, but the sight sent that nameless feeling coiling through Kakashi's body again, as did the sight of the lovingly soft kisses Izumo would occasionally press against the side of Iruka's erection before getting on with what the man was supposed to be doing.

Kakashi knew what he had reasoned through when he was thinking out loud with Ibiki, but he was on the verge of subtly changing his plan. Surely it couldn't hurt if he joined in just a little bit early. He crept forward a little, figuring that Iruka would welcome the added sensations. After all, the ultimate, long term goal of this evening was to show his lover the advantages of three-player fucking. Would it really hurt to introduce that idea just a little bit early?

A moment before he reached his hand out he heard Ibiki's voice directly behind him.

"Well, well, well... Look at this. I'm right on time to help everyone out with their plans. Kotetsu's apartment is right down the street, Kakashi is getting a lesson in being a selfless lover, and it looks like getting sucked off by friends goes into the Kakashi-Iruka exclusivity definition. Let's see what else you guys can comfortably add to the list..."
