Kakashi's eyes snapped open. He stared at the white ceiling as last night slowly floated into his mind. He sighed. They had somehow managed to shower and get to bed. Soon after, he had fallen asleep. Iruka rolled to his side and wrapped an arm around Kakashi. He snuggled closer, pushed his nose against Kakashi's neck, and snuffled in his sleep. This sure feels nice. He smiled to himself. What was I thinking last night? Like sex with Iruka could help me get over him. Yeah right!

The sex had been great. No, it had been perfect. It was the first time ever for Kakashi to come before his partner. Well, at least the first time after his teenage years. He had always been considerate and taken care of his uke's gratification. This time, he had actually been scared. He had been mortified. Fortunately, Iruka had come as well. He did not know what he would have done if... well if he had come prematurely and... Yeah, it had been perfect.

And now the chuunin was sleeping beside him, hugging him. Well, at least the sex did solve one problem; now I don't have a slightest doubt about how I feel about him. Kakashi smirked. He closed his eyes and savored the moment. I really should get up and go home. But oddly, I don't want to. He thought about the awkward morning and breakfast, the pressuring silence, but somehow, he could not imagine such a morning with Iruka. No. All he could see in his mind's eye was the chuunin smiling warmly and asking if he wanted coffee. Iruka sure was nice. Such a warm and loving person. He did not deserve someone like him. Iruka could get hurt. I could get hurt.

'Are you always so selfish?' Iruka's words echoed in Kakashi's head. I'm not selfish. I try to protect people. I don't get involved with anyone so I won’t hurt them, Kakashi defended himself. Iruka's soft breath caressed his neck. Maybe it was not the whole truth. It was just too hard for him to admit that he was the person he was trying to protect the most. He was protecting himself from the unknown perils of committing to someone.

Shit. What should I do? If I stay, it would be the start of a relationship. I would have to think about Iruka whenever I make a hard decision. I would develop deep feelings for him and then I would be worrying over him. Fortunately, Iruka is an academy teacher and doesn't run on missions. He's mainly in the village surrounded by skillful shinobi, safe.

Iruka's hand petted Kakashi's chest like it moved of its own volition. Kakashi stiffened. He held his breath and listened before he let his breath out slowly. Iruka was still in deep sleep. He thought about Iruka getting hurt, about an attack and blood seeping from freshly cut wounds. The glazed look that suffused eyes just a moment before death, before they turned dull and lifeless. A sharp pain struck his heart. He could not live through the pain of loss again. Even thinking about loosing Iruka hurt indescribably.

I failed them. All of them. Kakashi could see Obito bleeding, buried under a big rock. 'Emotions are unnecessary things!' his own words hounded him. 'Those who don't care about their companions are even worse than trash.' Obito had been right. Kakashi had been worse than trash, and, after Obito was gone, he had tried to protect everyone. Emotions were not unnecessary things. No, they were the things that made him strong. A true shinobi cared and drew his strength from protecting his companions.

Maybe this was the same thing. Maybe he could become even stronger if he let someone in his heart. Maybe love, a precious lover, could fuel him to be an even better protector of this village. To fulfill his silent promise to Obito. Could it be that Iruka is the thing missing in my life?

The caressing fingers circled on Kakashi's chest every now and then, brushing over his nipples, making them hard. They traced invisible paths like they were slowly writing a story on his skin. Kakashi's resolution mounted. It couldn't hurt too much to try, could it? he thought as he wrapped an arm around the sleeping teacher. Iruka's lips touched Kakashi's neck softly and his hand moved lower. The fingers toured his lower abdomen, colouring his thoughts with sex and making his spine tingle. Blood rushed into Kakashi's member, making it rise up. The gentle fingers continued their way on Kakashi's skin, touching the sensitive spots on his haunches and his stomach, skillfully skirting his growing erection.

Wet lips touched Kakashi's neck again on a spot not covered by the mask. This time, there was no doubt that it wasn't an accident. They nibbed on the thin skin affectionately, slowly sucking it in. Iruka's hips thrust forward and Kakashi could feel the hard flesh push against the side of his leg. He's this hard already? Kakashi turned to his side, facing Iruka. Iruka moved to kiss his throat and pulled Kakashi’s mask off with his other hand. Kakashi sighed in pleasure when Iruka's surprisingly skillful fingers curled around his arousal. They slid up and down, barely touching the sensitive flesh.

Kakashi explored Iruka's back with his hand. Iruka was more slender than he and it was easy to wrap his arms around the younger man, to reach down. Maybe I shouldn't. He might be too sore from last night, Kakashi thought and pushed himself closer to Iruka. He wanted to feel more of Iruka's hardness against him. Iruka sucked his throat and closed his fingers more tightly around Kakashi's now fully erect member.

"Mm" Kakashi muttered, encouraging Iruka.

Kakashi slid his other hand along Iruka's stomach. He stretched down to stroke Iruka's erection as Iruka's mouth left his neck, moved down, and licked his nipple. An almost inaudible moan came from Kakashi's throat. The wet tongue played with the hard pearl as a delicate hand stroked his member. Kakashi closed his eyes. His hands petted Iruka's shoulders, every now and then sliding up and entwining his fingers with wisps of nut-brown hair.

Iruka bit Kakashi's nipple a bit too hard. Kakashi gasped and the pain was gone, replaced with Iruka's soft tongue and kisses. The winsome mouth left Kakashi's nipple and proceeded further down with licks, kisses, and gentle bites. The hand, fisting Kakashi's shaft, eased its pace, and then it was gone. The mouth over his stomach was gone as well. Gritty hands pushed him to his back. Kakashi held his breath, zestfully waiting. The anticipation made his skin even more receptive.

"Ah. Oh gods..." Kakashi let his breath out with a moan as Iruka's wet tongue grazed the tip of his arousal.

It was warm, slick with saliva and precum. It slid along Kakashi's throbbing member. So soft, so warm. As it came back up, near the tip, Kakashi's erection twitched, trying to get into that hot cavern, but the tongue slid back down. Kakashi opened his eye and looked down. Iruka was kneeling over him, half of his naked body still covered by the blanket. He had pulled his hair behind his ears, a few tendrils had escaped, but it did not seem to bother him.

What a sexy sight, Kakashi admired. He watched, spellbound, as the tip of his erection vanished into Iruka's mouth. It was warmer than he had imagined. The hot wetness engulfed him all the way and his eyes closed with the pleasure of it. A soft and slippery tongue played with his member between the suctions. Gods, where did he learn all this? This can't be the same shy academy teacher.

Kakashi's breath grew louder as his erection drove deeper and deeper into Iruka's mouth, into his throat. The familiar pressure built in his stomach, and he felt the lightheaded rush wash over him. The climbing on the ladder of bliss was painfully close to its vertex.

"I-Iruka-san..." Kakashi panted.

The chuunin understood. He gave Kakashi a few more excruciatingly gentle suctions before letting it go with a pop. Still in a near orgasmic fervor, Kakashi flipped Iruka under him. He attacked Iruka's neck, sucking and biting it. His tongue licked the salty skin from the nape of Iruka's neck up to his ear. His hips moved alluringly, pushing their erections together as he nibbled Iruka's earlobe. The chuunin moaned beneath him, rewarding him.

Kakashi's hands were caressing Iruka's sides, his arms, his chest. Doting on the well-formed body. Their members touching made Kakashi want to run his semen over the soft, tanned skin, over the taut stomach, over Iruka's beautiful face, to those ruby lips and into his tight ass. The wave of lust made Kakashi leave Iruka's ear and go lower to his chest. His lips found the hard, pellet-like nipple. He pressed it between his lips, easing and brushing it with his tongue. Iruka's hips bucked up, pushing his stiff length against Kakashi's stomach.

How wonderfully responsive. The hard pearl rolled under Kakashi's tongue; he closed his mouth around it and sucked, hard. Iruka moaned. Kakashi could have continued this voluptuous teasing for the rest of the day if it wasn't for his painfully engorged erection demanding him to finish its interrupted climax.

Kakashi's hands clenched Iruka's hips, keeping them immobile. His mouth reluctantly left the hard nipple and trailed soft kisses down Iruka's chest, his lips skimming the soft skin, following lines of tensed muscles. Iruka shivered under his touch and tried to buck his hips. Tantalizingly slow, Kakashi's lips moved lower to their target. He breathed on the gleaming wet tip of Iruka's arousal. It twitched, and Iruka tried to thrust his hips with more force.

Kakashi slid his tongue out and let it glide over the dripping tip. He tasted the salty precum. His tongue played with the head of Iruka's length, gliding over the oozing slit and lapping over the vein on the underside. Iruka shook his head and moaned. His hips were warring with Kakashi's hands, trying to move, trying to buck up and make Kakashi suck his erection.

"Ah, Kakashi-san..." Iruka's voice was beseeching.

Iruka's fingers entangled themselves within Kakashi's hair. They were making wonderful circles against his scalp. Kakashi waited for Iruka to gather the resolution and direct his mouth over the head of his erection. The fingers curled and tightened on the hair between them. They pushed Kakashi's head down. The rock-hard erection slid into his mouth.

"Oh, gods! Oh, fuck!" Iruka panted.

Iruka's hands pulled his hair, and the pulsating arousal slid from his mouth only to be pushed back in. The hands pushed and pulled his head a few more times before disentangling themselves from his hair.

Kakashi continued to suck the chuunin from his own resolve. His hands released Iruka's hips. One hand went up to tease Iruka's nipple while the other cupped his tight balls. They had retreated upward, and Kakashi gently pulled them down to draw Iruka from his completion. Iruka moved his hips, driving deeper into Kakashi's mouth. He didn't mind. He relaxed his throat and took it all in, earning yet another loud moan from Iruka.

Adding more suction, Kakashi pushed the chuunin towards the edge. Iruka moved under him, trying to draw his attention to his hidden passage. Kakashi raised his brow. Is he really okay with it? Kakashi slid his finger down, located Iruka's passage, and circled it. Iruka pushing against Kakashi's finger was all the reassurance Kakashi needed. He slid his tongue down along Iruka's hardness, to his balls. He took one into his mouth and sucked it gently. Iruka panted heavily, wriggled his hips, and tried to draw the teasing finger inside.

Kakashi let Iruka's ball slide from his mouth and bit gently on the loose skin around them. He let it go and watched as the skin tightened and pulled the balls back up. He pulled Iruka's legs together with his hands and pushed them up against Iruka's chest. Iruka's rear was deliciously exposed. Kakashi pushed his tongue against Iruka's entrance. He licked it. He prowled it, making it slippery.

"N-no, please, Kakashi..." Iruka whimpered.

His words say no, but his voice screams yes. Kakashi pushed his tongue against the tiny hole surrounded by strong muscles. Iruka pushed against his tongue and it slid in. Kakashi did not normally do this to anyone, but then again, he normally did not have relationships. Now all he wanted to do was to make Iruka feel as good as possible.

Though Kakashi's tongue did a good job, it was not nearly enough to prepare the chuunin for what was coming. Kakashi pulled his tongue away and groped around for the lube. It was found surprisingly easily. He poured a good amount of lube onto his fingers and slid one finger inside the chuunin. Iruka's legs were spread and offered Kakashi a good view. He made a couple of thrusts and added another finger. He moved them slowly and began scissoring, stretching Iruka further, as the walls around them loosened.

When his two fingers had done their job, Kakashi brushed them over the special spot inside Iruka.

"Oh, gods! Yes!" the younger man spasmed and moaned.

Iruka pushed against Kakashi's fingers, willing them to hit the spot again. Instead of complying, Kakashi added a third finger. Iruka winced and contracted around them. Kakashi waited until the contraction eased before he carefully moved his fingers. He watched them slide inside the tight entrance, his need twitching, begging for release. Soon... he told himself.

Kakashi could move his three fingers more inside Iruka. He thrust them in and spread the hole, preparing it for a more pleasurable part of himself, taking care to hit that sweet spot every once in a while just to make Iruka moan and cry out. Oh god, I love the sound of his voice. He pulled his fingers from the younger man and positioned himself at his entrance. He leaned forward, the tip sliding in, and kissed Iruka's neck. It was sweaty. Slowly, he sank into the younger man, spreading the chuunin wider.

"You feel so good... so tight..." Kakashi breathed.

The tightness around him made Kakashi painfully aware of how close he was to coming. He breathed deep in a slow rhythm. He was almost halfway in. Getting seated fully inside Iruka felt like a long trip across the continent. It was agonizingly long and torturous, but rewarding. After what seemed like a lifetime, he was all the way in. He willed himself to hold still until the chuunin under him loosened up. Kakashi kissed softly against Iruka's neck, sucked on his pulse, and whispered comforting words. His hand wound around Iruka's swollen organ and stroked it leisurely.

Hesitantly, the muscles surrounding Kakashi's hardness let go of their tension. Kakashi made a couple of shallow, experimental thrusts. First Iruka tensed a little, but got used to it. Kakashi stroked Iruka's arousal, enticing moans from the chuunin. He was starting to lose his composure. The provocative movements Iruka made under him were too much for Kakashi. He took a tight grip on Iruka's hips and pulled his shaft almost all the way out before slamming back in. Iruka cried out. Kakashi twisted his hips and rammed into the younger man, doing his best to hit his prostate. Iruka's back arched and he moaned and mewled.

"Oh, yes... Yes... Fuck me!"

Kakashi's mind went blank. He could not believe his ears. Had the decent academy teacher just asked him to fuck him? The words echoed in Kakashi's head, inciting him, exciting him into a whole new level of arousal. He could not hold back any longer. He pulled himself almost out, than rammed into the chuunin with all his force and quickened up the pace. Iruka's moans grew louder. Kakashi's head was filled with ecstasy, need, and lust. He pushed into the chuunin, calling out his name. He was fucking him like he meant it, marking him as his own.

Kakashi's body moved on its own accord. He was not aware of anything else but the soft, wet heaven sucking him towards the apex of bliss.

"Ah, Kakashi! Oh, gods..." Iruka cried aloud under him.

The contractions around Kakashi made him climax, pumping his seed into the chuunin in perfect rapture, hearing Iruka call out his name.

They lay in each other’s arms, basking in the post-orgasmic high. It took a while before either of them spoke.

"So, you didn't flee into the safety of the night this time."

"Disappointed?" smirked Kakashi.

"Not too much." the happiness shone from Iruka's eyes.

Kakashi smiled back. This certainly was not the soft option. He had not completely sussed it all out, at least not yet. But he felt blissful as the warm, chocolate-brown eyes looked at him lovingly. He landed a soft kiss on Iruka's lips and smirked.

"Your breath stinks."
