The Best Pillow in the World

Iruka had the best pillow in the world.

He slept on it, just like most people do with pillows. But he could also do other things with his pillow.

He could play with it when he was happy, tackling it when he was in an especially good mood. His pillow liked that.

He could beat it up when the world wasn't going this way, and especially when people were hurting Naruto again. His pillow never hit back. Iruka was always kind to his pillow after that, because it didn't do anything wrong.

When his pillow was being stubborn, Iruka poked, prodded, tickled, teased, and flirted with it until it bent to his will. His pillow always did as he wanted.

Obviously this all worked better when his pillow was home. His pillow was gone an awful lot, and he never learned what his pillow did. When ever his pillow came back, it had to be cleaned, bandaged, fed, and treated kindly. But Iruka didn't mind.

Kakashi was the best pillow in the world, and only Iruka would ever get to use him.
