The boy chewed on his lip, tears threatening to spill over and down his cheeks. The soft brown hair framing his face and the pink skin of recent scar cutting across his cheeks only seemed to add to the dejected look. He looked utterly pathetic standing there looking up at Kakashi with that pleading expression. It made Kakashi feel liked he'd kicked a puppy, a big, brown-eyed, overly cute one at that. How could such a simple 'no' have led to him getting this look. It wasn't fair, he had a weak spot for dogs and the little boy in front of him did the kicked puppy look better than Pakkun. "No," he grumbled again.



The boy swallowed, looked down for a moment then tilted his head up enough to look up at him. "Please? I promise not to tell anyone..."



"You're just going to keep bothering me if I say no right?" Kakashi said, sighing and getting an exasperated look on his face as the younger boy nodded. "Fine..." he sighed again, knowing it would bug him until the end of his days if he didn't make the puppy eyes stop.



The brown eyes lit up as the boy grinned and threw himself at Kakashi, wrapping his arms around the young shinobi and knocking the unsuspecting boy to ground. "Thank you!" he chirped then leaned over and kissed Kakashi on the nose.



"Gah, don't do that," Kakashi whined, blushing furiously. He didn't however push the other boy away. "What's your name anyway?"



"Iruka," the boy laughed, rubbing the back of his neck and laughing, clearly embarrassed by his own bad manners. "Sorry," he said getting up.



"First rule of being a ninja..." Kakashi said, standing and dusting himself off. "...don't attack your teammates."



"Okay," Iruka laughed, the over enthusiastic giggle of a small child that seemed to cause their entire body to be incapable of remaining still.



"Second rule... no more puppy eyes." It was an unfair advantage and none of his training had prepared him for how to deal with it.



Iruka laughed again, then grinned mischievously up at Kakashi. "What about on the enemy. If we get in trouble I can get us out."



It was obvious even to Kakashi, that given that grin, Iruka got into trouble a lot and likely out of it just as often. "Fine, but only on the enemy," he said, taking the younger boy's hand and pulling him towards the courtyard of the family estate.
