Title: Goodnight Kisses Part 3/5
Chapter 3: Coward
Chapter Rating: PG
Summary: Series of shorts on kisses Part 3 of 5.
Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine because if it was we know Kakashi would be tied to the bed and Iruka would never make it to class on time.
Iruka downed the last of his coffee and rubbed the scar across his nose unconsciously. The monitors beeped in their odd but steady patterns as the numbers and lines flickered on the screen. The oxygen level danced slowly from 97 to 98, and then back again, while the jounin's heart rate remained a steady 63.
He could feel the way sleep tugged at the edges of his mind, trying to draw him away again into the comfort of its arms. Instead of giving in to the desire to simply rest his eyes for a few moments, the chunin stood and paced around the room. In truth, he should leave, and he knew it. He had to be up at the academy by 7:00, but he couldn't bring himself to go.
Hours passed and the sky outside darkened as its only light became the stars and sliver of yellowish-white hanging in it's depths. A nurse came in and removed the dinner tray she'd brought for him when she realized he was still here. Most of the rather bland food was still on it, a crust forming over it's now cold surface. She told him that visiting hours really were over and that he should go. Her voice was gentle but held a warning tone.
Iruka sighed and walked to the bedside again, looking down at Kakashi as the man slept. "I'm glad you're okay." Sleep tugging at his mind even more persistently, he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss against the fabric covered lips. "Goodnight, Kakashi."
The surprised squeak from the direction of the door drew his attention, and he looked up just as Sakura dropped her clipboard and fled out the door. His exhaustion vanished as the blood rushed to his face.
He'd just made up his mind to find her and explain that it wasn't what it seemed, he'd even moved towards the door, when Tsunade walked through it.
"Sakura tells me you're in here molesting my patient?" The Hokage asked, smirking.
"I... it..." he stuttered, trying to force the explanation out.
"He'll be fine. You, however, look like you're about to pass out," she chuckled. "You should get some rest. You've been up since yesterday morning, correct? And, I believe you have a class to teach tomorrow?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama," Iruka said, finally recovering slightly.
She showed him towards the door with one hand as she walked over to the side of the bed.

"You can stop feigning sleep now, he's gone," she said as she scribbled a few things on the clip board. The man's eyes remained closed.
"If you don't stop pretending, I'm going to stick a very cold thermometer someplace 'very' uncomfortable." One gray eye opened to scowl at the blonde woman.
"That's better." She smiled before scribbling more notes down then began taking the man's vitals. He yelped and glared at her again when she slid the ice cold stethoscope against his back. "That's for being a coward."
