Chapter 9 Final

When you got back from your mission, you raced over to see Iruka. You knew he would be as happy as you are. You got back three days earlier than expected. Tsunade was shocked when you had burst through the door giving your report. Lately you were working a lot more efficiently She didn't question it though.She gave a nod as you took off to Iruka's.

You were grinning the entire run back as you skipped over buildings. When you finally landed at your destination you smiled. You were on the balcony of Iruka's apartment. You slid open the door, stepping into his house. You dropped the bag, kicking off your sandals. You pulled off your jacket, tossing it on the chair behind you. You were now just strutting you vest and tights.

Feeling a bit more at ease, you flopped unto his bed. You laid there content. Before you were even dating you would do this. Just drop by to check on him. You had to admit you were grateful for all those years of friendship. Maybe back then it wasn't the right time. Now that you were together, everything felt right.

"I'll just wait here for him, he's probably still teaching." you flapped your hands against his sheets with a stupid grin. You rolled over, taking a deep breath. "His scent.." you gripped the material, pulling it closer to your nose. "I love his smell." You were so emersed in your own world you didn't hear a door slide open behind you.

You were snapped back to reality when you felt a presence. You raised abruptly, going into fight mode. When your eyes recognized the man standing before you, you froze.

Iruka apparently didn't have a class today, because he was standing before you in nothing but a towel around his waist. His hair as well as his body was dripping wet. He had a smaller wash cloth draped across his shoulder. Probably used to dry his hair. You stared at his toned abdominals. His hair wasn't in the ponytail either. It reached a little pass his shoulder. The sight of him had you breathless.

Iruka seemed just as shocked as you were. (Y-Y/N)?!"

You couldn't form words. It wasn't like this was the first time seeing him shirtless. All the other times you had caught him you always played it off with a snide comment, even though you were probably as red as a cherry. Back then it was easier to pretend you weren't completely hypnotized by everything about him, including his body. Now that you both had been forward with your feelings, seeing him like this a lot more embarrassing.

"I-I'm sorry!!" you spun around, directing your eyes at the ground. Your hands clenched at your pants as you tried to even out your breathing.

"N-No, it's okay. I didn't know you would be back so soon." Iruka replied. You could hear shuffling behind you. He was probably getting changed. Your eyes closed tightly, gripping your pants tighter. "I've seen him like this a million times, it isn't any different. Stop overreacting. It's fine. It's fine." you kept repeating those words in your head.

"Is everything alright?" you jumped when you heard his voice right next to your ear. You spun around to assure him you were okay. The air left your lungs when he was standing directly in front of you. He indeed changed, but only his pants. He was wearing a dark blue sweatpants. Shirt still missing, and hair still loose and slightly damp. You were in a daze.

Iruka blinked. "Why is she...looking at me like that?"

"Lately it seems like my hormones are going crazy." you wanted to look away from his eyes but you couldn't bring yourself to.

Iruka stepped forward, placing a hand on your forehead. "It doesn't seem like you have a fever?" you finally broke eye contact, looking down. You sat on the bed laughing awkwardly. "I-I'm alright. You just surprised me, I thought you had a class today." You kept your gaze low to avoid gawking at his toned chest. "Damn it, curse you and your stupid pefect body Iruka!" Even though he was just a teacher for Genin, he was extremely fit. You'd spent a lot of time training with him after all. He needed to stay on his toes. He shook his head, taking a seat right next to you. "Ebisu had the class today."

"O-Oh?" you answered lamely. A silence echoed. Iruka tilted his head, trying to meet your eyes.

"Are you sure nothing's wrong. You're acting really strange. " You blushed, gripping the sheets beneath you. His eyes softened when you finally looked him in the eye.

"Whatever it is you can tell me." you swallowed. You caved at the look he was giving you.

"Y-You look really hot like this Iruka.." you admitted. Iruka just looked at you for a while. It took him a few seconds to process your words. Heat crawled straight up his neck as steam poured out his head. "I-I-I.." Iruka stammered, suddenly feeling self conscious. You flapped your hands around wildly.

"F-Forget I said anything!"

How could he. Iruka couldn't believe how foolish he was. He was so used to doing this before he didn't pay much mind to it. But your relationship was different now. Of course you would get embarrassed if he just walked out without a shirt on. He wanted to slap himself for being so oblivious to your feelings.

" I-I should probably get a-" you grabbed his wrist before he could get up. You looked up at him.

"It's f-fine..." your hands were shaking. Iruka noted. He sat back slowly, watching you way you fidgeted. He found it awfully cute. You were constantly showing him adorable and enticing sides of you lately. Iruka reached up, thumb brushing against your cheek. Your eyes darted forward. You sucked in a breath when he licked his lips. Being this close you could see every expression on his face, every feature. The long scar that went across his nose. Somehow the mark only added to his already attractive features. You liked the way his hair looked down to.

"Your hair looks really good too.." you whispered.

He smiled. "Thank you." he replied just as softly.

He pushed you back unto the bed slowly. Your eyes never left his the entire time. When your back was flat against the bed, Iruka slipped between your legs. Your cheeks were a bright red. Unconsciously, your legs wrapped around his waist. You sighed in pleasure when he pressed his body into you. "Is this...alright?" He asked. You grinned at how cute he was being.

Your hands wrapped behind his neck as you pulled him down for a kiss. He smiled into the kiss, responding. Your legs started to tightened when you felt him deepen the kiss. Your arms moved slowly, trailing down his body. He let out a soft groan at the feel of your fingers on his skin. When he pulled back he smiled.

"I should come out half naked more often." you laughed at the statement kissing his cheek. 

"Yeah you should." you agreed with a grin.
