The Peacock Club (Naruto, Kakashi/Iruka)

Kakashi handed over his mission report – only two days late this time – with a huge, cocky grin. The grin itself wasn’t visible but the mischievous twinkle in his eye was definitely obvious. “So, wanna go out tonight?”

Iruka sighed as he took Kakashi’s report. He unrolled the scroll, skimmed the contents, and then tossed it in the box behind him to be filed. “Fine.”

“Well, better luck- Wait, what?” Kakashi froze and stared. That wasn’t the way their routine worked. Iruka was supposed to shoot him down – usually with a jab about how bad his report was – like he had the last twelve times.

Iruka stared back. His expression was all business as he said “Peacock Club. Midnight tonight. Meet me inside. Don’t be late.”

Kakashi obediently nodded. He was suddenly glad for his mask because it hid his gaping jaw and most of the surprise on his face.

Iruka made a shooing motion. “Next.”

Kakashi walked out of the mission room in a daze. He wasn’t sure what had just happened but he knew he was going to like it.
