Summary
“You want us to pretend to be a couple,” Iruka says, feeling his eyebrows practically disappear under his hitai-ate.
“Well, what I want is two shinobi who know each other to go deep undercover and run a bookshop. You could try for brothers,” Tsunade says, shrugging, “but being a couple might be easier.”
Being a couple with Kakashi. Like that’s a normal mission for Iruka to get sent on. Pretend to be a couple undercover with the man he would like to date if he thought Kakashi would ever look his way.

Summary
Spring is an insidious season that a good Shinobi should avoid at all cost. If he can't do that, he can at least avoid falling for someone way too nice and out of his class altogether.

Summary
Hatake waved his hand dismissively. “I’m sure it’s fine—”
Iruka finally snapped. “It’s illegible! Our cryptology department wouldn’t be able to read this! There are first-year pre-genin with better handwriting. No, there are nin-dogs with better handwriting. And where did the mud even come from? You were supposed to be in Sand!”

Summary
“Iruka fell asleep in my bed,” Naruto complains. “But I wasn’t tired.”
“Oh?” Kakashi asks. This wouldn’t be the first time that Iruka has gone in for a bedtime story and come stumbling out an hour or two later, rubbing sleep from his eyes. Kakashi doesn’t know how he manages it; Naruto is not a peaceful sleeper by any stretch of the imagination.
“The poor guy was really tuckered out,” Naruto says, a perfect imitation of Iruka, and Kakashi doesn’t bother hiding his smile. He’d probably mind Naruto having a favourite parent more if Iruka wasn’t his favourite, too.
(or: Iruka's longer-than-usual work hours are making him exhausted and cranky, so Naruto and Kakashi assign themselves the important mission of getting him to take some time off. Predictably, it goes a little sideways.)

Summary
“They have an Iruka?”Kakashi leaned toward the glass for a second look. Sure enough, amidst the rows of Nya figures posed inside the display, there was an Iruka cat. It was dressed in a simple Konoha uniform—very Umino-like, to be sure, but perhaps slightly dated, as Iruka very rarely wore his old shinobi uniform anymore.
From the short ears to the neat, stubby paws, the sight of the mini-Iruka somehow pulled at Kakashi’s heartstrings. He wanted to play the game, to compete for the Nya and try his own luck at rolling the cute figure.
He told himself that he was being silly. It was just a figure.
Well—a figure of his husband.The love of his life. Who also happened to like cute things.
“Maa—shit. I guess there’s no helping it.”
Boruto’s blue eyes bored into him. “My mom would yell at me for saying that word.”
“And your father too—so I’ve heard,” Kakashi grumbled. “What do you think are the odds I get the IruCat?”
“The Nya Iruka? Statistically, you’ve got to get a lucky roll at some point, right?”
“Right.”

Summary
Brushing debris off of the note, Iruka gently unfolded it, trying not to rip the damp creases.
"Ukki-san enjoys watering three times a week, gentle dusting of his leaves, and daily haiku readings. He tells me the light from your bedroom window is perfect.
He would like to thank you for taking care of him, and tells me I owe you two favors now.
Back in twelve days.
P.S. A perfect mission report is worth at least four favors, sensei, so think of something else."A henohenomoheji stared at Iruka in place of a signature.
(Or, Kakashi doesn't know how to ask someone to care for him, so he'll get Iruka to look after his plant as a proxy.)- Language:

Summary
“As Rokudaime Hokage, it is my responsibility to indicate a successor to the Council, prior to my retirement,” Kakashi says, steepling his fingers together like he didn’t take office under the promise and threat of Nanadaime Hokage Uzumaki Naruto. “Upon formally submitting his candidacy, the Council’s responsibility is to vet the candidate for suitability and liabilities.”
Iruka wants to gesture for Kakashi to get on with it and stop being so dramatic about information Iruka already knows, but is aware that will only extend this further.
“The Council has determined that Naruto is unfit to take on the office of Hokage,” Kakashi says.

Summary
Sometimes, when you don't believe you deserve the good thing that’s coming for you, you spend a lot of time trying to jump out of the way. Kakashi and Iruka are shinobi. Evasion is almost second nature.
(It begins with a long weekend onsen meet-cute, and then, as is only right for two people who love romance novels as much as they do, it takes ten years for them to figure out that they're in one.)

Summary
“Naruto’s a strong kid,” Kakashi says, who has sauntered up to them in the meantime. “He’ll be fine.”
Iruka smiles sadly. “I hope so. Thank you for helping us." He says and bows as deeply as he can manage with Naruto clinging to him – which isn’t very deep. “If you hadn’t been there…” He pauses, the imagery of what could have happened too violent in his mind. and he shakes his head to get rid of it.
“Please,” he says. “Can I do anything to repay you?”
“Maa, sensei,” Kakashi says, sticking his hands in his pockets. “I didn’t do it to get anything in return.”
“I know that, Jounin-san, but I want to,” Iruka says, and blurts the first thing that pops up in his mind, “how about dinner?”
.
.A fight late at night sparks an unlikely friendship between two unlikely people. Naruto is just along for the ride.
(Featuring; mommies, late-night conversations, the things they do not say, guilt, hugs, and the general weirdness of a four year old)

Summary
Kakashi's got a secret. He's managed to keep it hidden since he was a child, with only the Hokage really aware of his weakness. But Tsunade's fed up with him, and is giving him a short amount of time to figure himself out. It's now or never.
He knows he can't do this alone anymore. He's ready to ask for help, but now the problem is the only person he trusts to help him is Umino Iruka, and Iruka openly does not like Kakashi one bit.
Oh, and he's also in love with Iruka, just to make things worse.
