-Kakashi-

I ran after Iruka. Ugh that stupid Obito!! Why would he... wait. Iruka is going to Shizune's house? Will she even be home? I run after him but the light turned green and there were cars everywhere. I took out my phone and texted Shizune. 

(Kakashi is italic, Shizune is bold)

Shizune, Iruka is headed your way. Don't let anything happen to him!!

Something wrong, Kakashi?

Yes, I'll explain. 

Better hurry. I can see Iruka from my window. He's waiting for the light to turn red for the cars so he can go. 

Okay, 
You already know abt Iruka losing his memory, etc etc. It's been 3 months and we hung out every single day!! I invited him to the cafe that Tenzo worked at and Obito happened to be there. Iruka told me he'd be late so I sat with Obito since he noticed me. I don't think Iruka did so he went to get coffee without even looking around. Obito noticed and I saw him make a weird face... Jealous face. He asked to pass a 'napkin'  which he could've done himself but I did. He grabbed my hand and pulled me in closer then kissed me right when he saw Iruka coming my way!! Iruka bursted into tears and ran, I followed him. The cars won't stop!! Please tell me if something is wrong.

Ugh, she isn't answering! I think Iruka is there by her house. I should go... That's when I got a phone call. Obito. Ugh... I declined the phone and ran across the street. ANOTHER SIGNAL?! and it had to be red for me. FINALLY, it turned green for me so I ran and reached Shizune's house. She saw me through her window and signaled that I could come in. "Where's Iruka?!" I ask Shizune, "He passed out... I put him in the other room that he hasn't seen because I re-decorated it. He should be awake any moment now. You should go," "Thanks, Shizune." "It's no problem!" I go to the room she told me but Iruka wasn't there. I saw the blankets messed up and then heard the water in the bathroom. He must be using it. I sat on the chair and waited. I started reading my book. 

A few hours later, he came out. Finally he came out!! He looked at me with no emotions at all. "Kakashi?" "Yeah?" "Never mind." "Okay?" It was silent. I tried talking to him but he ignored me every time. I decided to do something... not knowing what would happen afterwards. I went behind Iruka and trapped him in my arms. I was holding my book. It was very visabel to Iruka. He tried escaping then I heard a "mngh" noise. "S-stop... w-why are y-you..." "Why are you ignoring me?" I cut him off, "Y-you... like Obito... don't you?" I froze for a second then responed, "No.. Why did you- Oh. Because he kissed me? Well let me tell you what actually happened," I turn him around and put my hands on his shoulder. He was looking down to his feet. "He asked for a napkin. I gave it to him then when he saw you coming he kissed me forcefully. It looked like I was kissing him back but no. I was trying to pull away." "Kakashi..?" "Hm?" "R-remember that time... you told me you.. l-loved me..?" "Yeah?!" "D-do... you still...l-love me..?" "Wait- You remember..?" "Y-yes.." "....Well, I do. Iruka, I do love you." "O-oh.. o-okay." He walked away leaving me confused. I didn't know how to feel. He asked me if I like him, I reply and he just leaves with 'oH oKaY' what the hell!? 

{Iruka's pov}

I felt relieved but nervous at the same time. He actually does love me... I don't care if Obito told me to stay away!! I love him and he loves me! Speaking of which, we didn't complete our mission, didn't go to school which we have tons of work. I asked Shizune about the mission but she just laughed and walked away. 

*****************************

Unknown: Hello~

Iruka: Oh you again. 

Unknown: You know that your so called 'crush' likes you. 

Iruka: And?

Unknown: And you left him confused?

Iruka: Okay..?

Unknown: ;-; Yeah so now I regret saying that..

Iruka: regret saying what?

Unknown: *Deleted a message*

Iruka: What?!

Unknown: n-nothing!" 

Iruka: I swear I say something like 'love' 

Unknown: IT was nothing!!

Iruka: Okay....

********************************

I walk over to Kakashi's house to say sorry for just leaving. I knocked around 3 times but no answer. I left a gap between each knock but still nothing. I remember the key he puts under the flower pot. I look but it wasn't there. He removed it..? I look through the window but the blinds were closed. I tried unlocking the door... OPEN?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I DIDN'T THINK FO TRYING THIS BEFORE. I walk inside, a total mess. I go upstairs to Kakashi's room and find a crying Kakashi. "Kakashi!! Why are you crying!" I go to him and bend down beside him, putting my hand on his back. "I-I'm just not good.... enough.." "What? What do you mean?!" "I feel so...useless.." "WHAT?! KAKASHI, WHY... why are you saying such stuff?.." "I-" "Baka, crying for no reason." I gave him a hug and he hugged me in return.
