I Don't Think You Understand

...dammit. It's been said that all good things must come to an end, but I really didn't want this to end, despite the way it was winding down on me. This is where I hope I've tied up the loose ends (save for Gai, since I don't think I want to even attempt to tie him up, mostly out of a desire to NOT get my ass handed to me) and brought everything to a conclusion I and you can live with. Thank you so much for your reviews and support!

I do not own Naruto...but considering that I've written him in a threesome with Sasuke and Sakura, would it be bad if I wished I was her occasionally?

Dammit, I’m overheated again. Did I forget to wash my sheets again? No, wait, whatever’s on me is breathing, and I’ve already established that the damn bag doesn’t breathe...

The morning routine was beginning to take shape for Kakashi in a form that he’d probably find himself fighting for a while. Iruka is many things, but a sleeping bag is not one of them...though he could make a fortune if he sold himself out to be a space heater. For the moment, Kakashi let himself lay there and bask in the unaccustomed warmth.

He chose to ignore the urge to throw the chuunin off of him for now. After last night, he figured he’d allow the man to do whatever he wanted to him.

Whatever...he wants? Dammit, now he was blushing and hard, and from the looks of Iruka’s face, it didn’t look as if he’d be waking up any time soon.

Last night... The arousal got pushed to a far corner of his mind as he reviewed the events that had caused him such pleasure.

It came to him more as a series of impressions that anything else. Fear had been there, but it had been quickly overpowered with lust and the ever-present fascination for how Iruka was put together. The man had a graceful musculature that he wanted to examine again sometime---preferably soon.

On top of him, Iruka sighed and fell to the side a little, taking away part of the almost unbearable heat that had been soaking into Kakashi’s chest. Kakashi echoed the sigh, but for different reasons; it had been a little uncomfortable to have all of Iruka’s weight on top of his erection, but at the same time, it had been a...delicious feeling as well.

Memories crashed down on him, making him stifle a small moan. HeatpressurefrictionlustneedIrukagoodwantprotect...

He remembered feeling something similar when that woman had pushed him down and forcibly had sex with him, but it hadn’t been as intense then as it had been with Iruka. Then again, I suppose that is only logical; after all, a woman is built to stretch there, and a man’s ass...well...

Kakashi decided that he now hated mornings with a fiery burning passion, because said fiery burning passion seemed to consistently end up in his cheeks. Really, gods, not that I mind too horribly or anything, but is it too much to ask to have one morning where I don’t mentally or physically embarrass myself? Is it? HUH?!

Carefully bringing one arm up to rest across his eyes, Kakashi allowed himself to change the mental subject. My three students, huh? Who the hell would have guessed? It isn’t as if they’re seen in public in the same place at the same time all that often, what with Naruto and Sasuke being ANBU-in-training, and Sakura being one of the head medico-nin.

He shrugged. Not my affair, though it’s funny how they made me and Iruka theirs...

He knew they wanted him to be happy, and he was pleased that they cared enough for him to nudge him in this direction (if it earns me someone as wonderful as Iruka, they can push me all they want!), but a part of him rebelled at being pushed so easily.

I may be annoyed, but I’m also damn proud of them for turning some of my own tactics against me. He laughed soundlessly. They learned well.

Making sure he didn’t jostle his lover (my lover), he stretched out his pleasurably languid body, and made a small face as something cracked on the skin of his stomach. Looking down, he saw why; Iruka’s semen was coating his stomach in dry splotches, and more of the same was coating his now half-hard erection.

Now why didn’t the diagram include something about making sure to clean up afterwards?

A lot of things remain constant in the world. The sun always rose, the sky was always there (thankfully few crazy people went by yelling about it falling these days), and there were always people to teach.

Another thing that seemed to remain constant was Iruka’s ability to surprise Kakashi. No, I don’t think I’m going to “wake up” yet. It’s interesting to hear him think through a problem.

Before he’d shifted to the side (to prevent Kakashi from feeling his erection), he felt the part he’d recently come to know and like very much wake up and say hello in its own way. Iruka had been hard pressed to maintain his sleeping charade. Guess I have an idea of what’s going through his head right now...

Last night had been beautiful and special to Iruka, and he was truly happy with the way things were now. The sexual tension and frustration between him and Kakashi, while still very much there, was now a more relaxed thing. Now that we’re both getting some, it doesn’t seem as difficult to do without the other.

Making sure to keep his face still, he inwardly chuckled. I think I can also say that this is a vastly better way to wake up then by getting hurled nearly off a bed because my psychotic boyfriend didn’t remember where he was... Entertaining as it was to laugh about later, it really was not the way Iruka would have chosen to wake up, had he been given a choice.

And waking up with an eager boyfriend is certainly near the top of the list... Inwardly, he again laughed as he felt Kakashi stretch near him, then softly groan in what sounded like disgust. Disgust? What would be...oh, yeah...we didn’t clean up last night, did we?

Iruka decided to “wake up” around that time. I think it’s about time to introduce my lover to the joys of sharing a shower. Besides, it’s one of the first things I teach my students; “if you make a mess, you should be the one to clean it up.” Sitting up slowly, he grinned down at the sleep-rumpled Kakashi. Cleaning up is going to be fun.

“So they--”
“Yep.”
“And they--”
“Yes.”
“And you just--”
“Oh definitely.”
“...I think I want to hurt them.”
“Why? They did a good thing.”
“Yeah, just...I feel manipulated.”
“I could do that for you later.”
“Oooh, you promise?”
“Of course.”
“Mmm, I’ll hold you to that. So, what are we going to do about them...wait. I have an idea.”
“I’m all ears.”

“Naruto you idiot, can you move over a little?”
“Love you too, Sasu-chan...oh, that’s good....”
“Guys, not that I’m complaining, but you’re squashing me a bit here--oh, never mind, that’s great, that’s good...”
“A little to the left, Na---yeeeess, right there....”
“Sasuke-teme, have a little patience, not that the view isn’t bad or anything...”
“Gods, you two, yes, please--”

A discreet cough. “Excuse me...didn’t mean to interrupt your mating--”

“WHAT THE--”

Naruto, naked but for his boxers, leapt for the kunai he always kept on the bedstand next to the lube and turned to face the intruder.

A dog wearing the hitae-ate of a Konoha shinobi and a vest sat placidly on the end of the bed.

Sasuke had rolled onto Sakura to cover her nudity from the intruder (no mean feat considering where Naruto’s fingers had been earlier), but in realizing that he was only exposing his now well-slicked up crevice to the dog (and pressing his now slightly softened erection at her entrance), he blushed and moaned incoherently.

Sakura gasped in recognition. “PAKKUN?! What are you doing here?!” She wiggled a little away from Sasuke’s arousal, trying desperately to get some of her breath back.

“Got a present for you three,” the dog said irreverently, pawing a scroll and small package that was sitting between his forepaws. “Sorry to interrupt.”
“Don’t worry about it, I guess,” Naruto said, lowering the kunai. “Thanks, man.”
The dog nodded and disappeared.

Silence ruled for a moment. “Well, that was a mood-killer.”

“Agreed, Sakura,” Sasuke said, sighing and rolling off of her to lay at her side. “Go on, dobe, open the note.”

Muttering something about sexy bastards ordering him around, Naruto reached for the package first and without a care for the wrapping, shredded it.

One second. Two.

“I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!”

“What?!” Sakura yelped. “What for? What is it?”

Blushing so red he could have been mistaken for an overripe cherry with blond hair, he passed her the contents of the present.

Looking over at what Sakura held, Sasuke hummed in agreement. “I think I’ll join you on that quest, dobe.”
“I’m coming too,” Sakura said after she took a moment.

Naruto suddenly grinned and leaned down. “Not yet you two haven’t.”

The present, tossed unceremoniously to the side as they re-engaged in their delayed “mating,” was a small book, entitled Icha Icha Paradisu Supecialu: The Three Becoming One.

The Content Of The Unopened Scroll (which would be discovered later):

Dear You Three;

Thank you for helping us get together. However, we don’t think you understand something; your methods in doing so have led us to two conclusions.

First, we guess this means that there is always something new to learn, and that’s it’s a wonderful thing to always seek to increase your knowledge.

Second and last...this means war.

Love,
Kakashi and Iruka.
