Summary
Sometimes, when you don't believe you deserve the good thing that’s coming for you, you spend a lot of time trying to jump out of the way. Kakashi and Iruka are shinobi. Evasion is almost second nature.
(It begins with a long weekend onsen meet-cute, and then, as is only right for two people who love romance novels as much as they do, it takes ten years for them to figure out that they're in one.)

Summary
Iruka humms awkwardly, unsure of how to phrase 'I was doing illegal experiments trying to come up with a new seal for Kotetsu because I'm a sucker for heartfelt monologues about the power of love like the disaster gay I am’ without admitting to clandestine activities or his habit of crying at sad poetry late at night.

He finds two most unexpected allies and with many secrets revealed on their way back to Konoha, Naruto's life is about to take an abrupt turn - perhaps this time, for the better.
OR
