Umino Iruka tried hard not to over-analyze his current relationship with Konoha's ace, Hatake Kakashi but it's not everyday Iruka found himself amidst someone as reknown as the legendary jounin. For Iruka, Hatake Kakashi was an oddity in his small knit world. The most Iruka ever included for contacts were the Third Hokage, Naruto, Anko and Mizuki. Look where that had ended up for him. Alone and desolute.
At least Naruto was placed in capable hands, even if there were some friction created between teammates.
See, in the Shinobi World, it was unheard of for someone of his rank to date such a legend.
It didn't help that Kakashi overlook Team 7, so it was inevitable that they'd cross paths.
Currently, if Iruka wanted to find his boyfriend, all he had to do was hunt down one of Kakashi's contacts in the village or visit one of his former students.
Still, Iruka tried not to put too much thought into why Kakashi wanted to date him or how their union came to be.
Iruka sighed in dejection. What was he to do? There really was noone he could turn to for advice. Sakura, maybe? He learnt his lesson last time when he confided in Kurenia, whom he later learned from Genma and Raido that she was one of Konoha's #1 gossipers. He really didn't want to explain to Kakashi about his doubts again, even if he learnt it by so and so.
Simply, Iruka needed more time to adjust to his new life.
Absently, he began washing the dishes. Iruka knew he wouldn't hear the end of it, if he didn't at least complete some of the chores assigned to him today. Usually, Kakashi and him took turns with the housework. Kakashi did the majority of the work, like taking the trash out and vacuuming the main room. All Iruka had to do was make dinner and wash the dishes. It seemed simple enough, except for the fact, Iruka felt like he could do more. He knew he was still recovering from the wound on his back but Kakashi treated him like an invalid sometimes and that really hurt. He wasn't sure if that was intentional or not on Kakashi's part but it stung.
Picking up a dirty plate from the pile, Iruka dipped the object into the soap-sudded water. He scrubbed at the surface with the washcloth, until all the leftovers came off. Satisfied with his handiwork, Iruka rinsed, dried, and placed the plate on the drying rack. Iruka picked up another one, repeating the process. Inwardly, he was a mess.
Iruka kept having doubts. He wondered if Kakashi ever got bored with him. The most they could do in bed was cuddle. Iruka knew Kakshi had great stamina and wondered what it be like to be under him, with Kakashi pushing inside.
Iruka experimented with Anko before but it wasn't the same thing. Kakashi was a man. Men had different preferences and taste than a woman. Since Iruka never joined the jounin ranks or became an anbu, Iruka was spared initiation amongst new members and their commanding officer(s).
Iruka wondered if Kakashi had to give himself up but considering Kakashi became a jounin at such a young age, he was sure Kakashi missed that period in his life.
Iruka wasn't ignorant enough to know Kakashi must of had male lovers later as he became of consenting age. Iruka knew that sort of work was lonely and women were sparse in the battlefield. Considering Kakashi had also enlisted in the anbu, his life was in jeopardy 24/7 and that sort of job didn't give you amble room to sate your hunger.
He had heard stories about Kakashi's nightlife and again was stupidfied by his current status.
