Title: Blind Date

Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

Summary: Sasuke completely redefines the meaning of ‘blind date’. [SasuNaru, KakaIru]




Sasuke was the first to notice the little glances between Iruka and Kakashi. It was a little ironic, seeing as Sasuke was the closest person to Kakashi, and Naruto was the closest to Iruka. Of course, neither sensei knew their students were extremely involved-actually, no one did-but that was really beside the point. The point was simple: Sasuke was the only one who had seemed to notice these little glances and he was hard pressed to do something about it. He was tired of seeing the silver haired Jounin moping around with that perverted, little, orange book in his hand at all the times of the day. The man needed to go on a date.

The Uchiha was reluctant to bring it up to Naruto, who would more than likely make a big deal out of it. But he had to in case he needed help setting things up. After all, he wasn’t good at playing match maker, unless it involved him and his dobe of a boyfriend.

“Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei like each other?” Naruto blinked, not believing that his beloved, innocent Iruka-sensei would be into such a perverted man. Naruto tapped on his bottom lip in thought, his blue eyes staring into the seemingly bottomless depths of his ramen bowl, like it held all of the answers to the universe. “But…Iruka doesn’t even know anything about Kakashi-sensei!”

“Usuratonkachi.” Sasuke sighed, a hint of affection for the teen seeping into his exasperated tone of voice. He pinched the bridge of his nose between his index finger and thumb, already feeling a migraine coming on. “You don’t need to know someone to actually like them.”

“Teme. I know that. I just didn’t know that Iruka-sensei was, you know, into men.” Naruto said that last part in a near whisper, so nobody at the counter heard him in case Iruka hadn’t come out yet. He flashed his boyfriend a foxy grin before going back to his ramen. “And it wouldn’t be bad for them to go on a date. All Kakashi-sensei does is read porn and walk around all day.”

“My sentiments exactly.” Sasuke murmured, ignoring the loud slurping noises coming from his blond lover. The Uchiha tapped his fingers on the counter, trying to come up with a plan to get the two men together. A blind date was the way he wanted to do it, but how could he get them together without them seeing the other before they even entered the restaurant? Blind folds, Sasuke’s mind offered, a wicked grin-totally unfit for an Uchiha-spreading over his pale lips. “Dobe.” The dark haired teen said, placing a soft kiss on Naruto’s neck, just below his ear. “I’m going to talk to Kakashi-sensei. Talk to Iruka, then meet me back here at seven. Okay?”

“Mmmhmm.” Naruto mumbled around a mouth full of ramen, grinning up at the dark haired teen as Sasuke bent to kiss his cheek lovingly. Sasuke had hoped the action went by unnoticed, but when he lifted his head to look around, Ayame was blushing behind the counter.

Forming a few hand seals, Sasuke disappeared in a ‘puff’ of smoke.

Finding Kakashi had been easier than he had expected it to be. The silver haired man was perched in a tree not to far from the training grounds, his little, orange book propped open on his leg. One hand held the pages still while his other twirled a kunai on his index finger. When Sasuke entered the small clearing, Kakashi looked up from his book, a questioning look in his one visible eye.

“Ano, Kakashi-sensei, I need to talk to you.” The dark haired teen said, figuring that was the best place to start. He watched as the older man closed his book, and slipped it into his back pouch, then gracefully jumped down from the tree branch he had been sitting on.

Kakashi regarded him with one dark eye, “Where’s Naruto? Usually you two are connected at the hip.” The Jounin smirked at the light flush on his student’s cheeks, and gave him only a second to recover before speaking again. “So why do you need to talk to me?”

“A blind date, sometime this week, I’ll give you the details later.” Sasuke said, sounding like he was explaining some kind of mission. Kakashi tilted his head back, contemplating it as he stroked his chin with two of his fingers. Sasuke clapped a sandal-clad foot on the ground, getting impatient. He wanted to get back to spending the day with his hyperactive boyfriend, although he would never admit he was actually enjoying their rare time alone.

“And I suppose that means I won’t know who my date is.” Kakashi sighed.

“That is the meaning of a blind date.” Sasuke snapped, his patience wearing thin as the silver haired man just continued to stand there. Of course, what Sasuke didn’t know was that the silver haired Jounin already knew what his answer was going to be. He just liked to tease Sasuke every once in a while.

“I guess. Maybe I’ll even have a good night.” Kakashi pulled his book out of his pouch again, and started to read again as he walked away, waving over his shoulder at the dark haired teen. Sasuke shook his head as he shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked off in the direction of Ichiraku.

Naruto poked his head into the room, bright blue eyes scanning every inch for any sign of his beloved Iruka-sensei. He took a step into the room, confused to where the older man could be. The door near the back of the classroom was cracked open, but Naruto couldn’t see inside the room beyond.

“Iruka-sensei?” Naruto called out quietly, walking down the stairs leading to the front of the room. The door to his left creaked open more, and the pony tailed Chuunin emerged, absorbed in the papers in his hand. “Ah! Iruka-sensei, I need to talk to you!” The blond grinned, although he was practically screaming inside his head. He had no idea how he was even supposed to approach the older man.

“Hm? Naruto? What’s wrong?” Iruka asked, leaning back against his desk, eyebrows drawn down in worry. The blond teen opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but quickly snapped it shut again after a few minutes passed. The academy teacher found this to be very worrying and wondered what had happened for the blond to be so quiet. “Naruto, do you need to tell me something?”

‘What? No. No, I don’t have to tell you anything. Heh heh…I guess I just need to ask you a, uh, little question.” A tanned hand came up to blond hair, and Naruto rubbed the back of his head whenever he was nervous or embarrassed. Iruka was watching him expectantly, the papers forgotten on the table behind him. “Uh. Er, Iruka-sensei…would you be willing togoonablinddate?” The last sentence was said in a rush, and Iruka had to stop so he could run through what the blond had actually said.

“A blind date?” The Chuunin wondered, giving the blond a look that clearly showed his distaste for the mere thought of meeting with some stranger. If Naruto was trying to set him up, the blond was being careful not to mention who had actually came up with the idea. And Iruka had a suspicion as to who that was. But he couldn’t deny the fact that he was interested, especially when there was a chance a certain silver haired Jounin was involved as well. “I guess I can try it once. So, what time?”

“Uh, ah, I’ll get back to you on that, sensei.” Naruto grinned, turning on his heel and walking back up the stairs. Iruka stared after him for a moment before moving into action.

“Are you up for some ramen, Naruto?” The Chuunin asked, having nothing else to do at the moment. And he kind’ve wanted to know what was going on between him and Sasuke. The two boys had seemed awfully inseparable for months now.

“No thanks, sensei. Sasuke-teme’s gonna treat me later.” The blond flashed the academy teacher a foxy grin before he disappeared through the door.

They met back up at Ichiraku a little passed seven, trading their stories and planning the next step. Naruto felt excitement bubbling in his stomach, and couldn’t help but kiss his boyfriend whenever the Uchiha looked up at him. Sasuke pretended to be annoyed, but Naruto could tell by his relaxed posture that he was far from it. The dark haired teen was enjoying the attention.

“So how do we get them together?” Naruto asked distractedly, running his fingers up Sasuke’s arm and watching as he left goosebumps on the pale skin. He’d been on cloud nine ever since his talk with Iruka, and he was in such a good mood now that he just wanted to sit there for the rest of the night with his boyfriend. Sasuke must’ve felt the same way, too, because his fleeting touches lingered more than they already did.

“I thought of this earlier, but we should blind fold them.” Sasuke said, letting his fingers rest on the blond’s thigh. Naruto grinned at him; his eyes still locked on the way Sasuke reacted to the fingers going up his arm. There were always goosebumps. “Dobe, listen to me. We should blindfold them so that they can’t see each other. Unless they cheat and try to seek out their chakra signatures.”

“Tell them not to.” Naruto murmured, still distracted by the goosebumps. Sasuke sighed and gripped his chin, tilting the blond’s head up so their eyes locked. The blond couldn’t help himself; he abruptly leaned forward and closed the short distance between them, placing a soft kiss on the other boy’s lips. He lingered there for a few moments before he pulled away and forgot what they were talking about.

“What time are they going to meet?” Sasuke asked, his dark eyes glazed over from the brief kiss. Naruto grinned and went back to his bowl of ramen. “We didn’t have a time before so we have to figure it out and tell them.” The blond nodded his head that he understood, still absorbed in the bowl of ramen on the counter. “Tell Iruka-sensei it’s on Friday at seven. I’ll tell Kakashi.”

“Are you leaving?” Naruto asked, swallowing what was in his mouth before inhaling more. Sasuke shook his head in answer, not even sure if the other boy was even paying attention. He was too distracted by his noodles.

“Don’t forget dobe. Friday at seven.” The Uchiha repeated, louder this time.

“I know, I know, teme. Friday at seven. I’ll make sure tell Iruka-sensei.”

Sasuke had successfully planned everything out, and all that was left was to have the two men meet at a restaurant somewhere in the village. Both ninja knew what time, what day, and where, and all that was left was to have them meet up. There were rules, obviously. Kakashi and Iruka were to both wear a blind fold, and they were not allowed to seek out a person’s chakra. It would ruin the surprise.

Sasuke was the fist to reach the restaurant, tugging the silver haired man behind him. He led the older man to a table near the back, and waited for his blond lover to walk through the doors with Iruka. A little over ten minutes later, Naruto and Iruka were there. The Uchiha went over to them, smirking as he kissed the blond gently on the cheek-Iruka was wearing a blind fold, and the other patrons weren’t paying much attention to the two teenagers.

Naruto lead Iruka over to the table, sat him across from Kakashi, and waited for Sasuke to get behind their silver haired Jounin. They reached down at the same time and removed both of the blind folds. Iruka’s eyes widened minutely and Kakashi made a soft noise in his throat. Two pairs of eyes-actually, one and a half-swung up to regard the two boys with a confused look.

“You like each other.” Sasuke explained, pointing between the two men. Kakashi nodded his head, and Iruka just raised an eyebrow. “I felt like I had to step in.”

“Then I feel like I should do the same for the two of you.” Kakashi said, motioning to his two students. Iruka nodded in agreement with the silver haired man. Sasuke smirked haughtily at the two men, then reached out to pull the blond against his side.

“Too late for that, Kakashi-sensei.” Naruto blushed.

“We’ll leave you two alone.” Sasuke reached for the blond’s hand, making sure Kakashi was watching as he laced their fingers together. A light blush spread over Iruka’s cheeks as he met Kakashi’s eye, and they almost didn’t notice the two boys walking away from their table.
