but i like you better
prompt: mission: babysitting, 100 words
"How about I just visit you instead?"
"But, I'm six." The pale-eyed child staring up at him looked genuinely confused.
"Yes, but I like you better than your parents." The kid--Kakashi would really have to figure out his name eventually--nodded wisely and pondered that statement.
"I have it." Kakashi looked up, eyebrow raised expectantly. "You're hired. As my babysitter."
Kakashi noted the page number of his book before putting it away. "Deal," he said, reaching out for a firm handshake.
"Ah, but what do I get, sensei?"
"I teach you how to keep Iruka-sensei off your case."
"Deal."
sweet dreams are made of this
prompt: genjutsu, 100 words
Genjutsu. It had to be. Iruka felt weightless and pleasant.
Oh, the hospital. Maybe--
The unpleasant thought dissipated. It was like he was floating in never-ending water, the horizon surrounding him like he'd been dropped in the ocean.
It was pleasant.
Fish brushed by his ankles, something bigger bumped his thigh, and tangled weeds clung to his toes.
Iruka sighed and spread his arms out, floating again, his body light and cool. He stared up into the sky, feeling sunshine and a pleasant balmy warmth.
There were red clouds in the sky and they looked like pretty spinning flowers...
i miss you most of all
prompt: autumn leaves, 100 words
Iruka stared at the leaf on the ground. It was one of many that fell, had fallen, were falling. There was nothing special about it. It was just another leaf. Green, spotted with red, and curling brown on the edges.
'Kiss me, Iruka. Don't be shy.'
He remembered Kakashi's hands the most. Delicate, fierce, powerful.
Plenty of leaves had fallen and he was always remembering Kakashi, but this leaf was stark against the cool grey of the memorial stone and the sharply incised characters of Kakashi's name, and when the leaves fell, he missed Kakashi.
