Wait

Disclaimer: If I did, then they would be together.
Summary: A sad, one-shot written picture book style. Implied Yaoi. Character death.
A/U: Took about twenty minuets to write, when I was supposed to be doing a report... First attempt at the IrukaxKakashi pairing.
Umino Iruka will always wait.
He will wait for students to turn in their homework. He will wait for class to end at the academy. He will wait for dinner to finish cooking. He will wait to get to sleep.
But mostly, he will wait for a certain someone to notice him.
Iruka waits often.
He waits behind his desk at the academy. He waits near to door for his class to end. He waits by the table for dinner to finish cooking. He waits under the blankets for sleep to visit.
But mostly he waits in the trees by the memorial.
Iruka waited.
He waited for the students to turn in their homework. He waited for class to end at the academy.
He waited for his dinner to finish cooking. He waited to get to sleep.
He waited for love.
Iruka isn't waiting anymore.
He isn't waiting for the students to hand in their papers. He isn't waiting for the class to end. He isn't waiting by the table for his dinner to finish cooking. He isn't waiting for sleep to greet him.
And he isn't waiting for anyone.
Iruka wishes now.
He wishes he hadn't waited for his students papers. He wishes he hadn't waited for his class to end. He wishes he hadn't waited for his dinner to finish cooking. He wishes he hadn't waited for sleep to keep eluding him.
Iruka wishes he... had told him... before...
Now the scarecrow could only be found at the memorial stone.
Umino Iruka waited to long.
