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

They weren't famous ninja, Kotetsu and Izumo. They were the paper pushers, the errand boys, the chuunin that blended into the background of existence in Konoha. They spent their days in the service of their hokage, their nights in each other's arms. If either of them craved the fame that many enjoyed, neither voiced the longing. The cost was far too high, the price paid in blood.

When the reserves were low and the desk jockeys were called out for fieldwork, Izumo stood on tiptoe to brush a kiss on the other's forehead. "Come back a nobody," he whispered, gloved hands gripping the uniform vest. Kotetsu nodded, understanding. He was the only one who did.

Izumo stood at the door for a long time afterwards and hoped, prayed, begged the gods to spare his soul mate the opportunity to be a hero.

The most famous ninja were the dead ones.
