Drabble catch up

Well I meant to do these before but heh heh... didn't have time. So here they are now, they're not necessarily meant to be read together but they could be I guess.

I also might do more later just wanted to do some for the ones I hadn't done.

Title: Domesticity

Iruka smiled and dropped the bag of trash into the dumpster. "Finished." Grinning he turned to look at Kakashi. "See... that wasn't so hard."

The jounin shook his head, scrubbing his hands through his hair and shaking loose an impressive amount of dust which only seemed to settle elsewhere on him. He sneezed then made a face at Iruka like it was his fault. "Was."

Laughing and rolling his eyes, Iruka slid his arms around the pouting man's waist. "Really?"

"Yes," Kakashi sulked.

"You want to know the best part about cleaning?" Iruka smirked. "Showering after," he said, leering pointedly.

Title: Blindness
Pairing: KakaIru

His jaw was too wide, his nose to short, his hair too long... Iruka could name a hundred things he thought kept him from being attractive. When he looked in the mirror as he pulled his hair up, he didn't know what it was the other saw in him. As he tied the obi on the kimono, he wondered. Even as he pulled on his shoes and opened the door he was puzzled by it.

Standing there staring at the masked face of his lover, he decided he didn't care what the reasons were... just as long as Kakashi loved him.

Title: Loss
Pairing: KakaIru
Disclaimer: Don't own, wish I did but I don't.
Words: 100

Kakashi knew 'loss', 'pain', 'loneliness', and he accepted them. Love though... that was new. At least in the sense he felt it now. That ache in his chest that felt like loss, but not like the others. When he looked at Iruka he discovered there was two meanings to that word. He'd lost everyone and he'd decided to never feel that again, so when that ache had found it's spot in his chest again it surprised him. It took him months to figure out what he'd lost and he could only smile dumbly when he realized it was his heart.

Title: Obsession
Pairing: KakaIru
Disclaimer: Don't own, wish I did but I don't.
Words: 100

Five hundred sixteen... So what if he counted every time Iruka smiled, every time he looked his way, every hello... that didn't mean he was 'obsessed'... did it? Kakashi couldn't help it if it had become a habit before they'd started dating to know those things... and if they continued after it was only natural... right? He would stop... when Iruka stopped smiling at him that way, or maybe it would be the day he lost count. Kakashi had a good memory though so that would be a long time from now. Five hundred seventeen... a very, very long time.

Title: Gossamer
Pairing: KakaIru

Iruka swept the gossamer strands away and looked up at Kakashi before looking back down and hesitantly opening the book. "Wow..." His jaw dropped a little and then he smiled. "You were a cute kid."

"Hn, I guess..." Kakashi said, the embarrassment evident in his voice.

"I wish I could have met them..." Iruka said, his fingers trailing along the edge of one of the photos.

A pale hand slid over a tan one. "Trust me... they'd have loved you as much as I do."

Iruka touched the edge of a web. "It's all so tenuous..."

"Yeah... it is," Kakashi agreed.

Title: Does nobody understand?
Pairing: KakaIru
Disclaimer: Don't own, wish I did but I don't.
Words: 100

"Nobody understands, Sensei." The words fell from an eight-year-old's lips and then again when he was thirteen and twice more before the year ended, the last spoken to a grave and not the man.

Even as an adult, he sometimes wondered if anyone understood. If he had asked they'd have assumed he meant how it felt to lose someone... That wasn't it. Not because they did, not because they didn't... it just wasn't the question.

"Does nobody understand?" he asked for the thousandth time.

A hand slid into his, warm, reassuring. "It hurts when we fail the ones we love."

Iruka understood.
