Summary: Prompt #1, due July 1 - Naruto, Iruka/Kakashi: Unexpected role reversal - Kakashi should have known better than to underestimate Iruka
A/N: Posted with a few hours to spare! *cheers* Wait, I have another one due tomorrow! *cries*

***

Kakashi would have kicked himself for his naiveté, if only he were able to move. The ropes binding his arms and legs to the bed - expertly tied, but easy enough for a jounin of his ability to deal with - were the least of his troubles.

No, the naked man currently straddling his torso, happily marking his neck with moist, sucking kisses while rubbing callused fingers over Kakashi’s pale, sensitive nipples is his biggest problem. The rock-hard erection that Iruka continues to ignore is a very close, very painful second.

Kakashi could easily escape his bonds and subdue his captor: while Umino Iruka is a smart, capable fighter, Kakashi’s skills are well above chunnin-level. But Kakashi doesn’t even try. Instead, he licks his lips, then issues a strangled moan when Iruka decides to nibble at his hipbones.

He gave in. He gave in, and now he’s paying the price. And he’s the blasted idiot that started it all in the first place.

***

Kakashi has few friends, no remaining family and lots of people that want him dead. He’s not very good at starting, much less maintaining, a relationship. He considers most people to be irritating, dull, or some grotesque combination of the two. For some reason, people dislike this about him.

It doesn’t help that he’s constantly reading pornography in public.

***

Kakashi looks bored, because he is bored; he hasn’t been on a mission since he was given three genin to baby-sit. The brats, both surprising and amusing at times, aren’t enough to keep him occupied. He’s going to enter them in the chunnin exams, more because they need the experience than out of any conviction they could actually pass, and also to have something to do.

He might even make some money in the process, betting on the kids. Gai still maintains a slight edge in the ongoing rivalry they share, but he’s almost as bad as the legendary Tsunade at gambling.

***

Well, he certainly didn’t expect that to happen at the meeting to discuss the chunnin exam nominees. How dare that glorified schoolteacher questions his decisions! He’d had to put the man in his place, naturally. It was fun, watching that ordinary, pleasant face flushed red with anger, though annoying that he wasn’t intimidated by Kakashi at all. It wasn’t until the Hokage himself ordered the chunnin to stand down that the man finally subsided.

He’d have to pay attention to the hothead during the exams. What was his name again?

***

Kakashi sees him - Umino Iruka, the academy teacher - a lot more these days. Spots him at Ichiraku regularly with Naruto, and wonders how he can afford to pay for the never-ending bowls of ramen Naruto consumes on his teacher’s salary; notices him meeting with Asuma, Kurenai and Gai during the weeks leading up to the third level of the chunnin exams, probably worried about his babies; even takes in the large amounts of time the chunnin spends with Sarutobi, which involves far more than paperwork and grades. Kakashi wonders if Iruka’s been there all this time without him knowing, lurking underneath the underneath.

Kakashi sees him, thinks about him, and questions his sudden interest in the chunnin. Iruka seems normal, ordinary - at least until Kakashi finds out what he thought were sonic booms or Sound attacks over the past few years were in fact Iruka’s outrage over some stunt or other Naruto had pulled - and relatively sane. They obviously have nothing in common.

Iruka sees Kakashi watching, a faint blush coloring his cheeks, but he doesn’t look away. Kakashi’s not sure why he’s pleased by this.

***

Betrayal. Destruction. Tragedy. But in the aftermath of the battle with Sound and Sand there is a renewed purpose, a fresh sense of community, and growing hope for the future of Konoha.

At Sarutobi’s funeral Kakashi doesn’t see Umino Iruka, chunnin, or Umino Iruka, teacher. Those parts of Iruka are still there, no doubt, but that’s not what Kakashi’s focused on. Instead, he listens to the way Iruka comforts Konohamaru, Naruto and all the other children gathered around him. He hears gentle words delivered with determination, admires the strength and honesty that make up the man’s character, and imagines what it would be like to live without a mask.

***

While awake, Kakashi thinks about the important things: Konoha, his genin team, completing missions, how to ask someone out without looking like a complete fool.

While asleep, Kakashi thinks of Iruka, and all the filthy, sweaty, sinfully pleasurable things they could be doing on a bed, in a shower, or up against a wall.

It’s when the two start to combine that Kakashi realizes something needs to be done. He also decides he may need to cut back on time spent with Icha-Icha Paradise.

***

Kakashi suddenly grows very fond of ramen. Ichiraku ramen, to be precise. And at very specific times, meaning when Naruto and Iruka also happen to be there.

Naruto berates him constantly, calling him a lazy, perverted bum; Iruka smacks Naruto on the head for being so disrespectful to a teacher, then insults Kakashi is a much subtler, wittier and rather more insulting manner. This continues on for another two months.

Iruka, Kakashi learns, knows how to carry a grudge. Iruka is also intelligent, fair (once his anger subsides), and brutally honest.

Kakashi likes Iruka far more than he should. He wonders what is wrong with him.

***

It takes two blows before Kakashi makes a move. The first blow is from Gai, during a sparring match. That’s not too unusual, given that Gai is a Taijitsu master. The shout of “Are you dating Iruka-san now, Kakashi?” just before Gai’s foot connects with his jaw, however, is new.

So was the softer, “You should make your intentions clear, my friend. Genma-san has been spending more time at the mission desk lately, especially at times when Iruka is on duty.”

Gai watches with concern as Kakashi’s sharingan eye whirls madly, then smiles as Kakashi abandons their contest without a word and rushes towards the academy.

Gai wins the match. Gai wins, but not because he’s the better physical fighter. No, Gai wins because he waged the better tactical fight: he found Kakashi’s weakness, then used it against him.

Gai wins, because Gai is a sneaky bastard. But this way, with Kakashi goaded into action, Kakashi just might win as well.

***

The second blow is from Iruka, who is truly terrifying when enraged.

Iruka is enraged because Kakashi nearly shoved one of Genma’s senbon down the special jounin’s own throat. Rather, Iruka is enraged that Kakashi almost maimed a comrade because he was standing too close to Iruka.

Iruka deals with more than enough childish tantrums during his day job. So Iruka handles this situation the way he would any disruption in class: he screams his displeasure at top volume directly into the offender’s face before delivering a well-placed strike to back of their head.

Iruka looks like he’s about to have a stroke, Genma’s choking on a senbon, trying to decide between laugher and escape, and Kakashi rubs at his injury briefly before grabbing Iruka’s shoulders and pulling him in for a kiss.

Genma takes his leave, and neither man remaining notices.

***

They break the kiss reluctantly, breathing deeply. Iruka is grinning, muttering something that sounds suspiciously like “took you long enough” under his breath. Kakashi is grinning under his mask, imagining them reenacting Icha-Icha volume two, chapter four, pages six through twelve in painstaking detail.

Kakashi’s mental vision derails when Iruka slides his hands behind Kakashi’s neck, massaging gently at his scalp, fingers gently gliding through unruly strands of silver hair. He rubs his body against Kakashi’s maddeningly slow, brushes his lips softly against the now-damp material of Kakashi’s mask, before asking, “Come home with me?”

Kakashi nods his agreement, moving forward to reclaim Iruka’s mouth, but the chunnin steps back slightly, shaking his head briefly but reaching out to take both of Kakashi’s hands in his own.

“I want to make this special for us... for you,” Iruka says, his voice roughened with passion, his deep-set brown eyes further darkened with lust. “Will you let me?” he asked, lightly squeezing Kakashi’s fingers before bringing one hand to his mouth, laving those digits with a quick, teasing tongue. “Give yourself over to me, tonight, Kakashi. It will be so good.”

Kakashi submits willingly, and their lives are forever changed.

***

Kakashi would have kicked himself for his ongoing naiveté, if only he were able to move. The silk scarves binding his arms and legs to the bed - Iruka decided the flimsy scraps of material are far sexier that rope, and much easier to explain to unexpected visitors - were the least of his troubles.

No, the naked man once again straddling his torso, happily marking his neck with moist, sucking kisses while rubbing callused fingers over Kakashi’s pale, sensitive nipples is his biggest problem. The rock-hard erection that Iruka continues to ignore is a very close, very painful second.

Kakashi could easily escape his bonds and subdue his captor: while Umino Iruka is a smart, capable fighter, Kakashi’s skills are well above chunnin-level. But Kakashi doesn’t even try. Instead, he licks his lips, then issues a strangled moan when Iruka decides to nibble at his hipbones.

He gave in. He gave in, and now he’s paying the price. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

OMG! Oh oh this is wonderful! Funny, sweet and oh so hot. I love aggressive take charge!Iruka. Kakashi never knew what hit him. This will surely become one of my very favorite Iruka/Kakashi stories.

Thanks for posting!

Oh, I really, really like this! The format for a start is so playful, lightening what is actually what a refreshingly what-you-see-is-what-you-get Kakashi, which is the other thing I adore here - Kakashi as a bored genius with no healthy attachments to anything, being blindsided by his own ennui and jounin superiority. It's like events are just that little bit out of his control because he just doesn't see them, and meanwhile, Iruka just bides his time and lets everyone think he's a clueless pushover. Guh! Very cool fic!

I enjoyed this very much. I loved Kakashi's voice throughout this fic, and how Iruka wasn't the usual wishy-washy creature he is in 'ship fics. More than anything else, I love the humour that runs through the story.

YES. Oh yes oh yes oh yes. This makes me want to get back into Naruto. (Gai's part was my favorite.)

Oh that was cool. I loved the constant references to Icha-Icha Paradise, as well as the progression from Kakashi's complete nonawareness of Iruka's existence to something almost bordering obsession.
