    Summary

    It could have been any number of things, really, that caused Hatake Kakashi to punch out the glass of Umino Iruka’s bedroom window at three in the morning and drag his half-dead carcass, blood pouring from his skin like sweat, across the ledge to collapse at the foot of the bed like a dog.

    Summary

    Some of Konoha's chuunin take part in a jonin-training exercise over the summer, where each participant is paired with a jonin instructor chosen by Tsunade. Except not all the pairs are a match made in heaven, as Iruka can attest to when his own partner tries everything he can to get out of it. Joke's on Kakashi - Iruka is determined to see this exercise through, with or without him!

    Summary

    “Naruto’s a strong kid,” Kakashi says, who has sauntered up to them in the meantime. “He’ll be fine.”

    Iruka smiles sadly. “I hope so. Thank you for helping us." He says and bows as deeply as he can manage with Naruto clinging to him – which isn’t very deep. “If you hadn’t been there…” He pauses, the imagery of what could have happened too violent in his mind. and he shakes his head to get rid of it.

    “Please,” he says. “Can I do anything to repay you?”

    “Maa, sensei,” Kakashi says, sticking his hands in his pockets. “I didn’t do it to get anything in return.”

    “I know that, Jounin-san, but I want to,” Iruka says, and blurts the first thing that pops up in his mind, “how about dinner?”

    .
    .

    A fight late at night sparks an unlikely friendship between two unlikely people. Naruto is just along for the ride.

    (Featuring; mommies, late-night conversations, the things they do not say, guilt, hugs, and the general weirdness of a four year old)

    Summary

    "Someone came and got you." Kakashi's voice was barely a rasp. Iruka couldn't look up.
    "Yes," he whispered. "Someone got me. They picked me up and now I'm here."
    The silence was deafening. Iruka didn't know what to do, what to feel, even how he was feeling. He couldn't move, couldn't look up, couldn't not look up
    "Is that all you remember?"

    -

    Iruka, believing he is dying, confesses his feelings to Kakashi. What happens when he survives, and now Kakashi wants closure?

    Summary

    "Iruka-sensei! Do you have a moment?"
    "Yes? Tsunade-sama?" Iruka's voice came, drawing closer with every syllable.
    "Someone has a stupid favor to ask you."
    Shifting cloth and more clicking of shoes said Tsunade had come back into the room, followed by another person, whom Kakashi assumed was Iruka.
    "The brat either needs to stay in the hospital or to have a babysitter for two days," Tsunade said bluntly.

    OR, in which Kakashi is blind and sans chakra for two days but is desperate to find a way to leave the hospital until his sight and chakra can be restored.
