Confession of a Sensei and student

Edit 12-17-10: I have decided to go back through this and make it a little easier to read. I have become a much better writer since this and thought it could use an update. At some point I might go back through and add more detail but I don't know. This was my first yaoi/slash story and I'd rather like to keep it the way it is for the most part.
=================================================================

“What are you doing?!?!” Naruto shouted from the doorway. He waited for either of the people in front of him to answer. Both of them just stared at him, one in shock and one in guilt.

“Naruto, its not what it looks like.” The guilty one said and shoved the other off of him.

Naruto wasn’t sure if he was angry or upset. Both emotions were currently in a battle for dominance in his head and in his heart. Upset won and tears started flowing from his eyes. He slammed the door shut and ran down the hall.

As he was running, he could hear his name being called but he didn’t look back. “Naruto wait.” He just ran faster.

Naruto’s vision was being blurred from the endless flow of tears and he tripped over his feet. A pair of arms wrapped around him before he hit the ground. He looked up at the person that was holding him. “Why are you hurting me like this?” He asked as he sobbed into the person’s shirt.

<<< Let’s go back a little shall we<<<

One Month Earlier:

“Thanks for the ramen sensei.” Naruto said with his mouth full.

“Naruto I haven’t been your sensei for seven years.” Iruka said before taking a bite of his own.

“I know, I know. It’s just weird calling you by your name.” He said setting his third empty bowl down.

“You’d think with all the ramen you’ve eaten over the years, you’re stomach would have filled up by now.” Iruka teased as he set down his own empty bowl, although it was only his first.

“Maybe someday.” Naruto said patting his stomach.

“Yeah, that’ll be the day.” The other said as he paid the bill and stood up.

Naruto stood up as well and stretched his limbs a little. “What?” He asked when he realized Iruka was watching him.

“Oh, uh nothing. Sorry.” He said averting his gaze. Naruto just shrugged it off.

“So Iruka, what did you want to talk to me about?” He asked as they were walking away from Ichiraku’s. He didn’t answer. Naruto looked at him sideways. He wasn’t sure but he thought Iruka looked nervous.

“Not here ok?” He said quietly.

“Whatever.” Naruto said putting his hands behind his head.

They continued to walk and chat about random things for the next twenty minutes or so when they came to the river. “This seems like a good place.” Iruka said sitting on a rock.

“A good place for what?” Naruto asked walking to the riverbank.

“To talk.” He explained.

“You know, I’ve never been good at skipping rocks.” Naruto said as he stared at the pebbles around his feet. Iruka wondered what that had to do with anything. The blonde bent over to find a good rock to throw. He could feel Iruka’s eyes on him.

Naruto took a second to sneak a glance at his former sensei. Iruka was in fact looking at his ass. “So what do you want to talk about?” He asked straightening up and looked back in time to see a slightly disappointed look on his face. Then he threw the pebble in his hand into the water.

“Naruto, you know I’m gay right?” Iruka asked without looking at him.

“Yeah, you told me a long time ago.” He said walking over to sit next to him on the rock.

“Well there’s someone that I like and I was hoping you would help me.” He said still without looking at him.

“Its Kakashi sensei, isn’t it? Of course it is, why else would you ask me for help?” Naruto asked rhetorically.

Naruto continued to ramble about how he could get Iruka and Kakashi together.

“No Naruto it’s not Kakashi.” Iruka said silencing him.

“Well then who is it?” He asked.

“Well… it’s someone you know and you’re really close to him.” Iruka explained.

Naruto wracked his brain trying to think of who it could possibly be. “Its not pervy sage, is it?” He asked slightly disgusted that he even thought that.

“No it’s not Jiraiya either.” Iruka said getting frustrated. Naruto may have been a lot older but he didn’t seem to be much smarter than when he was a genin.

“Naruto…” Iruka started and slid closer to him.

“What is it?” Said blond asked. He looked Naruto straight in the eyes and opened his mouth to speak. Instead, he closed the gap between them with his lips. Naruto’s eyes widened in shock and yet he was strangely enjoying it.

“Wait.” Naruto said pushing Iruka away. “I’m not even gay.” At least I don’t think I am.

“I know. That’s why it was so hard for me to tell you.” Iruka said feeling a little guilty.

“How long have you liked me?” He asked looking down at his feet.

“Since you got back from training with Jiraiya, four years ago.” He answered.

“That’s a long time.” Naruto stated. The two of them sat there in an awkward silence for a long time.

The silence was finally broken when they both tried to talk at the same time. “Sorry.” They said simultaneously followed by more silence.

Naruto got up and took a few steps forward. “Iruka, you were the first one that saw me as a person and not a monster.” He started. Iruka listened intently. He waited a couple minutes before continuing.

“You’ve always been there for me and that earned you a special place in my heart.” Naruto said as he whipped around to face the older man. He rushed forward and planted his own kiss on Iruka, who was now very confused.

“I thought you said you aren’t gay?” Iruka asked once Naruto let him breathe again.

“I don’t know if I am. But I do know that I like kissing you.” He answered breathlessly.

“I like kissing you too.” Iruka said in response.

Naruto repositioned himself so that he was straddling Iruka’s lap. He could feel the bulge growing in the older man’s pants which started his own hard-on. They kissed again. This time it was much longer and much more passionate.

“Maybe we should go some place more private?” Iruka suggested ten minutes later.

“Yeah we should.” Naruto agreed and set his head on Iruka’s chest.

“My apartment’s not too far from here.” He said as he wrapped his arms around his blond.

“Then let’s go there.” Naruto said contently.
