Prompt/Scenario: #14 by jukebox_csi: I’ve read several fics where the ninken love and side with Iruka and don’t have much respect for Kakashi. But, I’d rather see a story where Kakashi starts dating Iruka and the ninken try to sabotage it because they are possessive.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Additional Tags: Romance, Humor, Slow Build
Summary:Long-lost friends manage to unintentionally move in next to each other and slowly realize they have a shared history? Sounds an awful lot like something off of Kakashi’s bookshelf. With the ninken woefully unaware of how human relationships actually work – all of their education comes from Kakashi’s books – their schemes to get Kakashi and Iruka to recognize each other are not so successful.
