They cornered him at the mission office; he’d come to see if Iruka was there, and found them waiting instead.
“Kakashi.” Asuma’s voice was soft, his expression calm.
But he was surrounded.
Kakashi resisted the urge to assume a defensive crouch, shoving his hands in his pockets. “Can I help you guys?”
“We just wanted to tell you something important.” Genma said lazily. “See, we know about your ‘relationship’ with Iruka…”
“It’s not…” Kakashi started.
“It will be.” Shit! Ibiki was here? Kakashi tensed.
“We know you can’t help it. He’s gorgeous. And sweet.” Anko said with a grin. “And he seems to like you, for whatever reason…”
“But if you hurt him…” Genma’s smile grew, a little wider and a little nastier. “It’s not Iruka you’ll have to answer to.”
“Got it?” Asuma asked quietly.
Kakashi looked around the ring of people. Anko, Asuma, Ibiki, Genma…Kurenai, Kotetsu, Izumo, Shinobu, Aoba…
Crap.
He sighed. “I don’t want to hurt him. I care about him, deeply. I might even be in love with him. I can’t promise that we’ll be happy-ever-after, but…”
“We know.” Genma said. “Just do your best, ok?’
…
Kakashi sat by the lake, staring into the shining water. He was feeling a little…
Depressed was the word.
That little show in the mission office…all of Iruka’s friends, gathering to warn him…
I wonder if I’ll ever have that many friends. Kakashi sighed. Iruka deserved them. It must be wonderful, to know so many people care about you like that. Or frightening.
He sighed and laid his head on his knees.

Story notes: FINALLY! I'm sorry it took so long to get out!
After long discussions with Nai-chan and a few other people I trust, i decided to leave the lemony goodness out of this story. The rating so far has been semi-low; out of respect for anyone who's not of age who might have read this previously, I decided to keep it that way. HOWEVER I did write a lemon for thier first time. IF you want it, IM me and I'll let you see it. I like it. n.n
