Sorry for the wait, but in my defense I'm busy with summer and it's not easy thinking up more couples... and I was sick. So this is IruAya.
Disclaimer: SUE ME! (please don't actually)
It was a nice simple day, Iruka had no missions to do, no one was in class (it being a weekend), and he was just taking it easy. Iruka was walking down a familiar street, Ichiraku's was right around the corner.
"Welcome to Ihiraku ra- Iruka! Haven't seen you in a while!" Teuchi said as he turned around to greet his custemer.
"Yeah well, I've got ninja stuff, students, and Naruto to keep me busy. so..." Iruka said shugging, he still felt responsible for that knucklehead.
"Oh, yeah Naruto comes in here almost everyday, most of the time dragging poor little Hinata behind him." Ayame laughed
"Oh we all know she likes just being with him, my only worry is them getting married and Hinata will start cooking and I'll go out of business." Teuchi laughed, just then they heard someone sneeze outside the stand. Pushing the curtain away Naruto walked in rubbing his nose with one hand, dragging a giggling Hinata with the other.
"Iruka sensei!" Naruto yelled as soon as he saw his old teacher, "Guess what! Hinata said she can make ramen, and she's gonna get a part time job here when she's not on missions!"
"I-I said I might..." Hinata muttered blushing, "...I haven't even decided if I'll have the time."
"Well while you're here, why don't we get some ramen?" Iruka asked sitting down.
"Hear that Hinata! Iruka Sensei said he'd pay for our ramen!" Naruto said ignoring Iruka's protests about that not being what he said.
About twenty-five bowls of ramen later...
"Thanks Iruka Sensei!" Naruto yelled as he walked away with Hinata leaving Iruka the bill and slightly depressed
"wow that little girl can eat... five bowls all by herself. Amazing." Teuchi said picking up Naruto's stack of empty bowls while Ayame got Hinata's.
"... and I still haven't have any..." Iruka said sighing, "Ok I think I'd like a bowl of pork-"
"Oi! Iruka Sensei! I didn't know you were here." Konohamaru said interupting Iruka as he sat down where Naruto had been. Hanabi sat next to him rolling her eyes at how load Konohamaru was.
"Yeah, well I just payed for Naruto and Hinata's-"
"You payed for Naruto! Will you pay for me?" Konohamaru asked interupting Iruka again
"No, I don't have-"
"You payed for Naruto, I knew he was your favorite!" Konohamaru pouted crossing his arms.
"So shocking... ever since Hinata was announced as the next head of the hyuga clan I'm totally forgotton about." Hanabi scoffed
"Fine! I'll pay!" Iruka said throwing his hands up annoyed
"Great! Thanks." Hanabi said her mooding brightening making Iruka think she was just faking
"See I told you he wasn't a total stink in the mud." Konohamaru said as he finished his ramen and they both left. Leaving Iruka again, quite upset.
"Well then, here's the bill for the both of them." Teuchi said handing Iruka a piece of paper. Iruka gasped at the number and let his head fall, he didn't have that much... and he still didn't get his raman.
"Iruka, I'm sorry but we can't put it on the tab et the moment, not after yesterday. It's just too high." Ayame told him sadly
"Yesterday?" Iruka asked confused.
"Naruto... he came in and put everything on your tab. He said you said you'd pay for it." Ayame said realizing maybe Iruka hadn't known after all.
"Well, I'm really sorry Iruka... you're our best custemer, but the best I can do is let you work it off for the rest of day." Ayame said putting her hand of Iruka's shoulder. Iruka mumbled a thanks still not lifting his head.
After they had closed down for the day...
"...and I never got my ramen!" Iruka whined tired as he sat down
"Would you like the left over in the pot? We can share it." Ayame said sitting next to him, "Dad wouldn't mind" Teuchi had gone home early just after it died down saying Ayame and Iruka could handle everything else.
"Sure I'd like that." Iruka said smiling. Soon they both had a pair of chop-stinks and were both eating out of the same bowl. Iruka couldn't help but notice how close their heads were. Iruka and Ayame both ate some more ramen but soon they noticed one noodle was being pulled away. Looking up they realized they both had one end of the noodle. Ayame blushed a deep deep red, and Iruka couldn't help but think she looked cute.
"No! It's Ayame, I can't like her." Iruka thought turning red as Ayame started to lean away, and Iruka almost fallowed her.
"But, but she's just so nice. Of course Naruto might never let me live it down. But who cares I mean look at her." Iruka found himself leaning toward Ayame as she sat frozen on the spot. Just as their lips were about to touch Ayame put her hand on Iruka's cheek to stop him.
"Yo realize how gross that would be right?" Ayame asked gently, "We're still eating."
"Oh hehe, sorry..." Iruka never felt so emberressed in his life!
"Maybe if you take me out to dinner, it wouldn't be so gross?" Ayame asked shyly looking at her feet.
"Sure, I'd like that." Iruka said smiling, he'd have to thank Naruto, and then kill him for always making Iruka pay weather he was there or not.
Blunch! I'll never understand how the spaghetti (or ramen in this case) kiss is romanic! I mean really? Anyway after this is... filler couples, Utakate/Hotaru, Lee/Yakumo are possibilities, and there are some filler couples i just do not remember (I forget fillers a lot) but will look up. So tell me if you think of something, and if you already suggested something and I said maybe but never wrote it, I may have forgotten and would like to hear it again. Thankie!
