Summary:“You know,” Iruka started as he came close enough for his partner to hear him. “This might give people the wrong idea.”
Kakashi had scratched the back of his head. “What idea? That I’m so smitten with my boyfriend that I can’t even stay away for a day? 'Cus that’s not wrong.”
Oh, there he was, the charmer.
“No,” Iruka had grinned, not willing to let Kakashi off the hook so easily. “I was thinking about the type of ideas people get when grown men stare at playing children, without any of them being his own.”
Kakashi’s face fell for a moment, then he glanced around them, as if to make sure no one had called the cops on him, and cleared his throat. “Well, I guess there’s only one way to avoid that type of misunderstanding in the future.”
When Iruka didn’t catch on, Kakashi had inhaled deeply, straightened up, and apparently gathered enough courage to speak more clearly. “I just… might have been inconsiderate when you talked about having children.”
(Or in which Iruka thinks back to his life with Kakashi before they became parents.)
(It’s just a bunch of fluff, really.)
