Prompt 1 â PĂ©talas
As pétalas de cerejeira cobriam o caminho que o levava até o homem que amava e que estava o esperando com um sorriso. Era o que esperava, porque aquela bendita måscara estava lå, o escondendo. Não era como se não pudesse ver, o conhecia muito bem para ler suas expressÔes mesmo cobertas.
Iruka parou diante de Kakashi, as mĂŁo tremiam um pouco, era um sonho se tornando realidade.
Para o Hatake, o Umino parecia um anjo naquele momento. Escolher casar na primavera foi a melhor escolha. A chuva de pétalas da grande cerejeira o deixavam ainda mais etéreo, mais belo.
Prompt: Petals
It was a grim kind of spring day. Spring only by virtue of the date, not by warmth or shining sun. The wind had been slicing through him like knives and pulled his hair out of its ponytail so often that he gave up on fixing it long agoâresigned to the birdsâ nest atop his head. Kakashi would be both delighted and dismayed to help him sort it out later. Where he should have been planning an anniversary picnic beneath a sky of pink petals, he was instead staring out frost-covered windows.
âGuess Iâll need to plan a night inâŠâ
Prompt 2 â Amigos
Eles eram amigos, melhores amigos, inseparĂĄveis, daqueles que contavam todos seus segredos. Aqueles que precisava manter por perto poque sabiam demais.
NĂŁo deveria ter sido surpresa quando Kakashi se viu apaixonado por Iruka, mas tinha medo de se declarar a acabar com a amizade.
Piorou quando Obito e Rin disseram que Iruka estava apaixonado.
Então, Kakashi se afastou e evitava o melhor amigo, até ser surpreendido por um Iruka furioso.
âO que eu te fiz, idiota? Por que estĂĄ me evitando?â
âVocĂȘ estĂĄ apaixonado.â, havia tristeza ali e Iruka apenas riu.
âSim, estou. Por vocĂȘ, idiota!â, declarou antes de beijĂĄ-lo.
The sound of laughter followed the man down the hall. As much as he loved all of their friends, he could only handle so much socialising before he needed to retreat to either reset or recharge his social battery, depending on how long the gathering was expected to last. He was so, so grateful for his wonderful partner who covered for him without questionâor excused him when he recognized the signs that he was losing focus and needed to duck out for a little while. He slipped through their bedroom door onto a comfortable oversized chair and opened his book.
Prompt 2
âAnd then he got up close to him, poked his chest, and said, âif you turn in one more horrible report, so help me,â and HE said, âmaa, sensei, if you want to get that close to me, at least buy me dinner firstâ!
âAnd then IRUKA said,â Kotetsu tried to catch his breath from laughing. âHe said, âFINE. 8 oâclock?â I felt Kakashiâs jaw hit the floor. It was priceless!â
Iruka and Kakashi sighed quietly from the other end of the table as laughter erupted around them. Friends. You loved them, but also you sometimes had to endure them.
Prompt 3
Iruka carefully placed the freshly laundered blue sheet on the bed and tucked in the corners, smoothing out all the creases. Just as he turned to replace the pillows, a gust of air blew past him. Before he could blink, the bed was occupied by a grinning Copy-Nin, who had spread his long arms from side to side looking expectantly at Iruka.
Iruka put his hands on his hips, scowling. âYou couldnât even wait until Iâd finished making the bed before messing it up again?â
Kakashi winked. âWhatâs the fun in that? Iâve been waiting to cuddle you all day.â
When Iruka arrived at the Hokageâs office at the beginning of lunch, Shikamaru looked at him with a mixture of relief and exasperation. Iruka didnât even try to hide his smirk as memories of Shikamaru putting that look on his face rolled through his mind.
âIruka-sensei, please!â
âWhatâs he up to today?â Iruka asked.
âYou have to talk some sense into him! Representatives from Mizu are due this afternoon!â
Iruka raised his eyebrows.
Shikamaru sighed, âBetter to see for yourself,â and waved toward the door for Iruka to enter.
He was greeted by blue sheets hanging from every possible surface.
Prompt 4
Kakashi hummed happily as he unpacked the items from the picnic basket. It had been ages since Iruka, and he had been able to do something just for themselves now that he was Rokudaime and Iruka Headmaster. Preparations complete, he walked to the riverbank to retrieve his husband, who stared into the water contemplative.
Iruka smiled as Kakashi approached. âIâm glad weâre here. It reminds me of everything weâve gone through, and how, despite everything, weâre still here together.â
Kakashi returned the smile and slipped his hand into Irukaâs. âI wouldnât have wanted things to turn out any other way.â
Prompt 4 â Piquenique
âToalha? Cesta? Petiscos? Bebidas?â
âTudo aqui, papai!â
O clima estava favoråvel, tinha uma folga nas funçÔes como Rokudaime, suas papeladas estavam em dia, faltava apenas uma coisa para tudo ficar perfeito. A companhia. No caso, mais uma.
Carregando a cesta pelas ruas de Konoha, atraia atenção, pelo fato de ser o Hokage e estar acompanhado da filha, Keiko.
Chegou na Academia e seguiu até a sala do Diretor, que rapidamente permitiu a entrada dos visitantes.
âPapa! Viemos te sequestrarâ, declarou a garotinha empolgada.
Iruka olhou para os dois desconfiados, até ver o que Kakashi trazia.
âAceito ser sequestradoâ, concordou Iruka.
Could be a continuation of PetalsâŠ
A checked blanket covered their futon.
The smell of homemade baking and takeout filled the air.
The sounds of birdsong drifted through the air from the stereo.
Candles provided a light floral scent and some romantic lighting.
The other part of the lighting came from the sheet attached to the four corners of the room and casting everything in a pale pink tone.
There should be just enough timeâ
âIâm home!â
Well nevermind that then. Just when Iruka was counting on Kakashi to be lateâŠ
Iruka shrugged. Kakashi could help pack up the basket.
âWelcome home!â Iruka called. âHappy Anniversary!â
Prompt 5
âSempai, sensei, this is so undignified!â
âDonât get your roots in a twist, tree boy. Itâs only a little fun.â
Tenzoâs eyes widened. âTree boy!?â
Iruka chuckled into his hand.
âLook, all weâre asking is that you help us play a mostly harmless prank on a jonin that needs to learn to respect chunin better. All you have to do is catch him when he leaves the mission room. A couple hours wrapped in tree branches would be good for him, honest!â
Tenzo scowled. âWhile you boobytrap his apartment in glitter.â
Iruka beamed, a dangerous twinkle in his eye.
âExactly.â
Prompt 5 â Ărvore
Hound saltava pelos galhos com precisĂŁo, apesar do esgotamento daquela longa missĂŁo, dos machucados e do baixo nĂvel de chackra, sĂł queria chegar em casa.
Aquele local, aquelas ĂĄrvores, tudo era familiar, nĂŁo apenas por pertencer a Konoha, mas por o levar a um local que lhe trazia boas memĂłrias.
Pousou sobre um galho do que parecia ser a maior årvore dali, segundos depois seus pés tocaram o chão. As mãos tatearam o tronco em busca de uma marcação feita hå muito tempo.
Sorriu ao vĂȘ-la, nĂŁo ainda ali, mas por terem sido renovadas.
K x I
âEstou voltando, golfinhoâ.
Prompt 6 â Sakura
Kakashi nunca contaria a ninguém porque a sakura era sua flor favorita, porque fez questão de se casar na primavera, quando elas estavam floridas. Ninguém precisaria saber.
Ninguém precisa saber que, no fundo da sua alma, antes do marido entrar em sua vida, que ele se sentia como a velha lenda. Ele era sozinho, ninguém se aproximava, tudo ao seu redor era seco e sem vida, até a chegada de Iruka.
Ele nĂŁo era uma fada, talvez um anjo, mas lhe mostrou que era mais que uma arma, mais que uma ferramente e que merecia amor.
E Kakashi aceitou. Floresceu.
Prompt 6
Sakura hands Iruka an envelope.
âwhatâs this, Sakura-chan?â
âKakashi-sensei told me to deliver it to you. So, there you go. Bye!â The girl rushed out the door.
Confused, Iruka opened the envelope to reveal a note in Kakashiâs horrible scrawl.
Roses are Red
Sakuraâs hair is pink
We should go out
What do you think?
A small henohenomoheji beside a cartoon heart adorned the corner.
Grinning, Iruka penned a reply and sent it back to the Copy-Nin with Naruto.
Sakuraâs hair is pink
And so is a rose
Iâll go out with you
As long as you stick to prose
Iruka was paralyzed, Iocked in place by an unending loop of "I shouldââ and âI shouldnât.â The other shoppers, familiar with stories of Irukaâs kitchen adventures, were kind enough to ignore his mutters.
âWhat would I even do with themâŠ?â he finally questioned before he turned away.
âIruka-sensei?â a womanâs voice broke through his thoughts. He turned to see one of his former students, all grown up. âI have a recipe⊠if you want to try themâŠ?â
Iruka graced her with a brilliant smile.
âThat would be wonderful! Thank you!â
And placed the jar of salted sakura in his basket.
Sai looked up from his reading. âIt says here that the way to a manâs heart is through his stomach. How is that possible? They arenât even that close to each other.â
Kakashi considered the saying silently. It couldnât hurt to tryâŠ
Iruka stared down at the gourmet obento on his classroom desk. The vegetables were cut into hearts and the onigri looked like puppies. Clearly someone went to a lot of trouble to capture his attention.
He heard a rustle from outside his window and grinned. âGood food is better when shared, Kakashi. Join me?â
Jackpot, Kakashi thought happily.
