Summary:

“Dad. That is the ugliest shirt I’ve ever seen.” A young, high voice rang out, cutting through the din of the room.

Sasuke, six years old and usually quiet, sat on his adoptive father’s lap, chubby finger pointing straight ahead so there could be absolutely no doubt who he was referring to. His older brother Itachi, age nine, sat on a chair beside them and stifled the laugh brewing in his throat with one hand while the other went to quickly cover Sasuke’s mouth, earning him a lick to the palm and leaving Kakashi with two disgusted, bickering children, absolutely fucking mortified.


Maybe by the end of the night Kakashi can persuade Iruka to take the shirt off, preferably forever. Preferably with him.

Lost in thought as he passed by the small opening to a back-alley, he did a double take when he heard a noise. It sounded like there was something there. His eyes darted into the dark corner and he focused in on the soft panting emanating from the shadows.
