Here is the first pairing: Kakashi and Iruka. I love these two and I have seen several times where Kakashi looked like he actually had feelings for Iruka in the anime.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

---------------------------------

Iruka sighed as he opened the door to his classroom. It was going to be another long day. He closed his eyes as he walked in, not worried about running into anything since he's memorized this whole room. 'Maybe I should try rearranging the room a bit.' He opened his eyes to look over at the desks, but frowned. 'Though, that will be hard to do with the desks as big as they are. And now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure they're fastened to the floor.'

He let out another sigh as he walked up to his desk, but froze when he saw the large pot of flowers sitting on top of it. "Huh?" he questioned as he sat the notebooks on the end of the desk, then reached over to look at the small card attached to them.

To My Love

Iruka cocked an eyebrow. His love? Who the heck could that be? He wasn't with anyone. He lowered the card and looked around, trying to sense if anyone else was in the room, but he didn't feel anyone. He looked back at the flowers. There were about two dozen red roses. He sighed. "I bet these got sent to the wrong room." He nodded, confident that's what happened, and picked up the vase and set it down on the floor. "I'll take them to the teacher's lounge a little later so they can get to who they're really for."

After he carefully set the flowers on the floor, he turned back to his desk to get ready for his class. He pulled out the books he was going to need from his desk drawer and set them towards the front of the desk, arranging them in the order he needed them for his lessons. He then turned and wrote out a few things on the blackboard that he needed for his first lesson.

After all of that was set up, he reached into his bottom desk drawer and pulled out a spray bottle filled with disinfectant and a rag, then went over and wiped down every desk and chair. Once that was done, he went over and opened the windows to let in a little fresh air, then went back over to his desk.

He paused for a second as he saw the pot of flowers again, actually forgetting about them, then picked them up and headed to the teacher's lounge. He placed the flowers on the small table, then went over to the counter and grabbed a cup of coffee before he headed back to his classroom.

He took a sip of his coffee as he walked in the room, but again froze, his eyes going wide. There, sitting on his desk, was a small stuffed bear with a heart in its arms. "What the..." He walked over and stared at the bear, noticing a small card sticking up from behind the heart. He sat his cup down and picked up the card.

From Your Secret Admirer

Iruka furrowed his brow as he looked around the room again. "Is someone out there?" he called out to the empty room, but he got no response. He looked down at the bear again and picked it up. It wasn't too big, so he could probably stick it in his bottom desk drawer for now, then take it to the lounge later. His students would start showing up any minute now, and he didn't like them walking into an empty room.

He opened his drawer and carefully put the bear in there, staring at it for another second before he closed it and shook his head. 'Whoever is leaving these has to have the wrong room. I feel a little bad that the true recipient isn't getting their surprise.' He frowned as he sat down in his chair, his eyes going to the now closed drawer. 'Though, it would be nice if they were actually for me.'

He sighed as he turned and grabbed his notebook, pulling out a couple papers. He had to focus on his students. He read through his lesson plans, making sure that he had everything in order, and soon his students started filling the room.

"Good morning, Iruka Sensei," a little girl said.

Iruka smiled down at the little orange haired girl. "Good morning, Moegi. How are you this morning?"

The girl gave him a wide smile. "I'm great, Sensei." She put her backpack on the desk and dug through it before pulling out a small wrapped package. "Happy Valentine's Day," she said as she held it out to him.

Iruka's eyes went wide, but then he smiled and took the package. "Thank you. You didn't have to do that."

"I know," Moegi said as she put her backpack over her shoulder, "but I wanted to."

"You brought one for your real valentine's, right?"

The little girl blushed, but the smile didn't fall from her lips. "Mmhmm," she said as she nodded. "It's an extra special one."

Iruka chuckled. "Go take your seat, then. We'll begin class soon."

Moegi nodded and toddled off.

Iruka opened his top drawer and stuck the small package in it, a smile on his lips. Who needed a lover on Valentine's Day when he had his precious students. He was happy with his life. It was full and satisfying because he got to teach the next generation of shinobi.

He looked around the room and smiled at the students that were sitting around talking, and watched Konohamaru sit down next to Moegi, whose face was still a bit pink. The girl pulled another wrapped package out of her backpack and handed it to the boy. Konohamaru just stared at it for a moment, then blushed as he thanked the girl and took it. Moegi's face went a little more pink as a wide smile crossed her face.

He looked over and saw a couple other kids exchanging valentines, and he frowned just a bit. 'I should've brought something in for them. What kind of teacher am I?' He sighed and shook his head. 'I should be able to go get something for everyone on lunch.' He smiled again as he nodded. He had a new plan. He would run to the store and grab some small valentines for his students. It was actually better this way, because doing it on lunch means he would know exactly how many to get.

It was soon time to start class, and he called everyone to attention. He took roll call and began his lesson.

A few hours later, the bell rang and the kids either pulled out their lunch from their desk, or went outside. Iruka made his way out of the room and hurried to get to the store. He needed to get his valentines for his students. It took him about 20 minutes to get to the store and get back, and he stopped by the student lounge to grab a quick bite to eat from the food that the school provided for the teachers.

"Hello, Iruka," Suzume said. "Got some valentines for your students?"

Iruka smiled as he placed the bag on the counter and grabbed one of the wrapped sandwiches. "Yeah. I feel a little bad that I forgot this morning. I don't really care about Valentine's Day, so it didn't even cross my mind."

Suzume chuckled. "I'm sure you'll find someone soon."

Iruka rolled his eyes as he turned to pour some tea into a cup. "I don't need anyone. I have my students, that's enough for me."

"Surely you can't be serious? No one should be alone forever, Iruka."

A small smile crossed Iruka's lips. "Who would want someone like me?" he said quietly, then took a sip of his tea.

"Don't sell yourself short. You're a very attractive man, Iruka. I'm sure there's someone out there that's interested in you."

Iruka chuckled as he turned to look at the woman. "I won't hold my breath."

Suzume gave him a small smile then turned to look at the flowers. "Do you know who these belong to?"

Iruka frowned. 'I thought whoever they belonged to would have seen them by now. Which reminds me, I need to get that bear and bring it here too.'

"Iruka?"

Iruka looked back at the woman. "Oh. Sorry. No. I don't have any idea. Someone mistakenly put them on my desk this morning."

A wide smile crossed her face. "Oh?" She picked up the card and turned it over, her smile going a bit wider. "I don't think it was a mistake."

Iruka's eyes went wide when she held up the card and he could see his name clearly written out on the back of the card. "What?" he asked as he moved over to take the card. He stared at his name. "Th-that can't be right. Who would..."

Suzume chuckled. "Looks like someone's interested after all."

A small blush creeped up Iruka's cheeks as he looked back at the flowers. 'Are those really for me?' His blush deepened as he remembered what the card said.

Suzume laughed as she stood up and placed her hand on Iruka's shoulder. "Don't be so surprised, Iruka. Like I said, you're an attractive man."

Iruka looked up at her. "Wait. Are you..."

Suzume shook her head. "They're not from me. Sorry, but I like someone else." She patted his shoulder a couple times, then walked off. "Good luck, Iruka."

Iruka stared at the woman as she walked out the door, then turned back to the flowers. 'So it wasn't a mistake they were on my desk?' He still couldn't believe that someone actually sent him flowers. He shook his head and walked back over to the counter to finish his sandwich, then grabbed the bag of valentines and the flowers and headed back to his classroom.

There were few students sitting in there chatting as he walked in and he sat the flowers on the edge of his desk. He looked around, and frowned. He had no idea where to put them.

"Wow. Those are pretty, Iruka Sensei," a black haired little girl said.

"Uh, thank you," Iruka replied.

"Does that mean you have someone special too?" a brown haired girl asked.

"Uh..." Iruka blushed again. "I'm not really sure. I don't know who they're from."

"Sensei has a secret admirer," the black haired little girl squealed. Both girls giggled.

"Alright, you two. Go find your seats," Iruka said as his face heated up even more.

The two girls scurried off to their seats and Iruka shook his head as he sat down in his own. His eyes landed on the drawer that held the bear and just stared for a moment before he opened the drawer and his eyes went wide. There was now a heart shaped box leaning against the bear. He pulled both the bear and the box out, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was filled with small chocolates. A small card sat at the top of the box.

To the Man Who Stole My Heart

Iruka's face felt like it was on fire. He turned the card over and saw his name on it again, then reached over for the card he found on the bear. His name was on that one too. 'Who the heck is this?'

"Uh, Iruka Sensei. Are we going to continue class?" Konohamaru's voice rang out.

Iruka looked up and saw that all his students were now sitting at their desks staring at him.

"Shush, Konohamaru," Moegi berated the boy. "Sensei is reading his valentines." A lovey-dovey smile crossed her face as she looked back at Iruka. "It's so romantic."

"Pleh," Konohamaru scoffed as he sat back in his seat and crossed his arms.

Iruka cleared his throat as he stuffed the bear and chocolates back in his drawer and stood up, his face still burning. "Alright, that's enough." He reached down to the bag he got and walked over to the first desk. "I have a small gift for you all." He passed out all of the valentines and his heart warmed at all the smiling faces. "It's not much, but Happy Valentine's Day."

"Thank you, Sensei," the kids chorused.

Iruka nodded and walked back to his desk. "Alright. Let's get on with the next lesson."

A couple hours passed, and Iruka walked up to the supply closet that was in the back of the room to grab some paper. He figured it would be nice if the kids made their own valentines for their families before they headed home. He opened the door and his eyes went wide as he was bombarded with a ton of paper hearts. "Wha!" he cried out as he fell back on his butt.

He heard a few kids laugh, and when he reached down to look at a few of the paper hearts, he saw that they had different words on them like "Sweetheart," "Love," and "Be Mine." His face lit up again as he realized his secret admirer had done this. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to quell his embarrassment, then stood up. He pushed the hearts to the side and reached in to grab the paper, crayons, and scissors. "Ok, class. We're going to take the rest of the time we have to make some valentines for your families."

"Like the ones you just got?" the same black haired girl as before asked with a smile.

"Y-yes," Iruka said as he walked back to his desk. "You can put whatever you want on them, but it needs to be something valentine related. Now, come up and get what you need. There's plenty of supplies to go around."

The kids all filed down and got what supplies they wanted to use and soon the room was filled with quiet chatting and ripping paper.

Iruka took this time to open the drawer and pull out the box of chocolates and bear and sat the bear by the flowers. He opened the chocolate box and smiled as he grabbed one and stuffed it in his mouth, closing his eyes and humming as the orange-chocolate flavor washed over his tongue. He looked down again and stared at the small card. He really wanted to know who had sent them.

He popped another chocolate into his mouth, then put the lid back on the box and sat it next to the bear. He then got up and walked around the room, helping the kids that needed it and complimenting others. Soon, the bell rang and all the kids cleaned up their areas, then grabbed their bags and valentines and headed out.

Iruka put the craft supplies away and sighed as he cleaned up the paper hearts that were still spread out on the floor, adding them to his pile on his desk. Once he had everything straightened up and the windows closed, he grabbed his valentine's hoard, including the present Moegi gave him from the drawer, and headed home.

He struggled to get the key into his lock as he balanced everything in his arms, then sighed when he could finally put them down on the small table he had by the door. He kicked off his shoes, grabbed the box of chocolates, and walked into his living room. He flipped on his light and gasped. Flower petals littered his floor and there were several more boxes of chocolates, stuffed animals with hearts in their hands, and paper hearts.

His chakra suddenly picked up the presence of someone else in the room and he started to turn, but suddenly a hand was over his mouth and an arm around his waist. He dropped the chocolates and watched as they spilled over the floor. "I've been waiting for you."

Slight panic filled him until he heard that deep, sultry voice, then surprise, confusion, and shock overwhelmed him. "Kakashi?" Iruka asked as the man lowered his hand from Iruka's mouth.

"Hi," Kakashi said as he stepped away to let Iruka turn and face him.

"Y-you did all this?" Iruka asked, still confused as to why the man was in his apartment.

"Mmhmm. Do you like it?" Kakashi said, his smile barely seen through his mask.

Iruka shook his head. "I don't understand. Why would you..." His eyes went wide again as Kakashi stepped up to him and wrapped his arms around Iruka's waist. "Kakashi," he said, his face going bright red, "what are you doing?"

Kakashi leaned forward and Iruka could feel the man kissing his neck through the mask.

"Kakashi!" Iruka said, his face burning hot as he tried to push the man away.

Kakashi looked up at the man. "I've waited long enough, Iruka."

"L-long enough for what?" Iruka said, still trying to break free of the man's arms.

"I'm in love with you, Iruka. I have been for a long time."

Iruka froze, his eyes wide as he stared into the one visible eye. "Y-you have?"

Kakashi chuckled and kissed Iruka's nose through the mask. "I have."

Iruka gave another push on Kakashi's chest and the man finally let him go. He turned and walked away from the man, his head spinning a little. 'Kakashi? Kakashi was my secret admirer?' He felt arms wrap around his waist again and his face heated up again as Kakashi put his chin on Iruka's shoulder.

"Did you not like the gifts I left you at the school?"

Iruka turned to look at the man, his hands on Kakashi's arms, but not actually pushing them off this time. He had to admit, he did kind of like this feeling of someone being so close to him. "Uh, well, they were... uh, I wasn't really expecting them."

Iruka could see the smile even through the mask. "That's the point, right? To surprise the one you love on Valentine's Day?"

"Why me?" Iruka asked as he finally pushed the man's arms away and took a step back to look at him. "You could have any woman in the village, so why go for me?"

Kakashi chuckled. "Because I fell in love with you."

Iruka looked away. He still didn't understand. "I'm nothing special."

He felt Kakashi's hand on his chin and he was forced to look up at the man. "You are special. There is no one else as loving and kind as you are, Iruka. Sure, you're not the best fighter, but I see that as a good thing. It means you are more of a lover, and I want to be your lover."

Iruka felt like his face was just permanently going to be on fire now. "But..." His eyes went wide when Kakashi reached up and actually pulled down his mask, a beautiful smile crossing the man's lips. "Y-your mask."

"I want you to see all of me, Iruka," Kakashi said, then leaned forward and placed his lips over Iruka's.

Iruka couldn't move. Kakashi, his childhood friend, was kissing him!

When Iruka didn't respond, Kakashi pulled away, a frown on his face. "Iruka?"

Iruka looked into Kakashi's uncovered eye and he could see a bit of hurt shining in it. "I..." He shook his head, trying to get his thoughts unjumbled. "I'm sorry, Kakashi. I... I really don't know how to take all this. I've never really seen myself being with anyone. I..."

Kakashi pulled him closer, tightening his arms around the man's waist as he nuzzled the man's neck. He placed several gentle kisses on Iruka's neck. "Can I change that? Would you let me show you what it's like to be with someone?"

Iruka closed his eyes and a small moan escaped his lips as he felt Kakashi suck against his pulse point. "K-Kakashi."

Kakashi moved back up, and when Iruka opened his eyes, he saw the man smiling at him. "Let me love you, Iruka. Let me show you how wonderful it is to be with someone."

Iruka's mind was fuzzy. He felt like he couldn't think straight. He stared at the man's lips, which were still twisted up into a smile, then leaned forward and kissed the man. He did want this. Kakashi responded almost immediately. Iruka wasn't exactly sure what he was supposed to do, as he's never kissed anyone before, but when he felt Kakashi's tongue run over his bottom lip, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

Kakashi's tongue instantly invaded his mouth and explored the wet canvas. Iruka moaned into the kiss, closing his eyes, as he pushed himself a bit more into Kakashi, getting a feel for how this kissing thing was supposed to go. When they broke apart, Iruka was breathless.

"So, what do you think of your first taste?"

Iruka looked up at the man, a goofy smile on his face. "That felt amazing."

"So, will you let me love you, Iruka?"

Iruka nodded. "I definitely want to explore it."

Kakashi smiled and captured the man's lips again. Kakashi moved his hands up and down Iruka's back, then moved his hands around to unzip the vest the chunin still wore. "Let's get more comfortable, hmm?"

Iruka nodded and reached up to unzip Kakashi's vest and they both pushed the other's vest off. Now that the vests were off, Kakashi was running his hands up and down Iruka's back, one hand even slipping under the shirt as he once again attacked Iruka's neck.

Iruka didn't want to be the idle one of this party, so he moved his own hands up Kakashi's back and buried his fingers in the man's hair, pulling on it so that he could capture the man's lips again. As they kissed, Iruka moved one hand down to Kakashi's side, hesitating before slipping it under the man's shirt and feeling the warm skin beneath it.

It wasn't long before Iruka felt Kakashi push their lower halves together and his face heated up as he felt Kakashi's hardness. He broke off the kiss and looked down between them, now realizing that he was hard himself.

"Shall we move to the bedroom where we'll be more comfortable?" Kakashi asked.

Iruka looked up at him and noticed that Kakashi's headband was suddenly gone. When that happened, he wasn't sure. "I... Should we be going this fast?"

Kakashi chuckled and kissed the side of Iruka's mouth. "We can go as fast as you want. I want you to feel good, Iruka, not uncomfortable."

Iruka smiled, heat filling his chest. "I..." He felt Kakashi grind against him as his mouth lowered back to Iruka's neck. He wondered if the man really liked kissing him there and that's why he kept going back to it. "I've never done this before. I... I don't know what to do."

Kakashi moved back to look at him. "We could just make out for now and see how the night goes."

Iruka smiled and nodded. "Can we?"

Kakashi smiled and pulled Iruka over to the couch. "As long as you'll let me touch you and love on you, then I don't mind."

They sat down, Iruka practically sitting in Kakashi's lap. "That works for me," he said, then captured the man's lips again. He wasn't sure how this night was going to end, but he was really looking forward to seeing where things went.

-------------------------------

What did you think? Sorry if you wanted to see a little action between these two, but I felt that Iruka wouldn't be quite ready to go that far the first time. If you all ask, maybe I'll make another chapter for their sexy time ;) Let me know which pairings you would like to see. I'm open to doing any pairings, MM MF or FF.

Next Chapter: Shikamaru x Temari
