Drowning

Omake^^ (Extra)

Iruka wanted to slap himself. What the hell was he suggesting by saying he was free at night as well?! He hoped Kakashi wouldn't think he was proposing for Round 2 tonight! But, it would be nice too–

"Perfect!" Kakashi winked again, his voice so bright and excited out of the blue, "Then, meet me at the gate later. Around 6pm~"

Iruka gasped loudly and stopped Kakashi before he could vanish in a smoke, "At the gate? Hey! Are we going outside the village?"

However, the older simply nodded before quickly disappearing in a swirl of leaves, leaving Iruka stunned there.

The teacher sighed frustratedly. He wondered where could Kakashi be taking him? He was so damn curious.

Iruka kept persuading himself that he didn't even care about his appearance for the evening date with Kakashi, but nearly every minute he would stare at the reflection of himself on every mirror or anything that he could find. He remembered Kakashi telling him that he loved when Iruka let his hair down more. But, it would just be plain weird if he let the hair down now. People would be asking and staring and he really hated that!

So, he decides to just tie his brown hair tightly and make sure everything is neat and smart enough. After all, he still wore his chuunin uniform, so there was nothing to touch up or something.

Strolling around the village, he basked in the calm and the warm breeze surrounding them. The weather was so clear and warm today. He hoped everything would be going well.

And damn, he was so nervous now. He kept rubbing his scarred nose from time to time until he finally arrived at the gate.

He noticed the smirk and sly stares from Kotetsu and Izumo who were in charge of guarding the gate today. He turned to them with a glare, "What?"

"Are you going out for a date, Iruka?" Izumo asked with a snicker.

"What the hell are you on about, 'Zumo?" Iruka asked, freaking sure Kakashi wouldn't be there yet, so why would the two acted so weird and cunning like this?

Kotetsu faked a cough and pointed his eyes toward the gate where Kakashi was leaning against at, his orange porn book covering his face. Iruka widened his eyes in utter disbelief. His annoying guard duty friends were long forgotten already.

Instead, Iruka dashed forward to the older and bowed apologetically, "Ka- Kakashi-san! I'm sorry! I didn't even notice you are already here!"

"Maa, Sensei. I wouldn't want to be late on our first...date," Kakashi said with a leer at the word date toward the two nosy guards there.

Iruka chuckled sheepishly, "Yeah, right."

"Well, shall we be going?" Kakashi knew his voice sounded so calm now, but who would ever imagine his inner feeling would be totally opposite.

He was so nervous and shy.

Why, he was finally able to go out freely with Iruka!

"Yes, let's...get going, Kakashi-san," Iruka smiled softly at him, ignoring the loud cheer from the guard hut.

Outside of the village, Iruka looked up at Kakashi who pretended to be busy reading the porn book.

"Are you fine with that?" He asked curiously and of course, worriedly, "You know 'Tetsu and 'Zumo are very loud gossippers. What if people thought we are really together?"

Kakashi stopped his walk and lowered down the orange book from his nose.

"Why? Does that bother you?"
