Summary
Hound stood a few feet away and looked non-threatening, at least as non-threatening as an ANBU could. If it was anyone else, Iruka might have even called it casual. An ANBU searching for you was never a good thing, but one who wasn’t attacking you was a hell of a lot better than one who was.
“Hound-san. I’m sure Hatake-san told you he came by the other day.” Iruka said, trying to sound respectful.
Hound ignored his implied question. “Umino Iruka, the Hokage would like to speak with you.” His voice was even, but Iruka swore he could detect traces of amusement. “You have ten minutes to meet me here.”
All Iruka wants to do is go home and sleep, but when the Hokage calls, you answer.

Summary
There was a kunai against Iruka’s throat and a hand covering his mouth.
Naruto’s eyes were wide, frightened, and confused.
Iruka’s hand twitched towards his pocket.
The kunai pressed harder and a voice spoke in his ear.
“Don’t even try it.” The man’s voice was rough and unfamiliar.

Summary
Iruka palmed a kunai and stepped forward more carefully. He knew should listen to Higeki-sensei now at least. Even though it was too late.
There was a louder sob and, as Iruka peered around the boxes, he saw the back of a small, emaciated body curled up next to them. Their blonde hair was soaked through and their thin, ratty shirt was plastered to their body. For a moment, forgetting about the sobs, he almost thought they were dead.
Then, as Iruka got closer still, he realized they were shaking.
All Iruka wants to do is go home and forget what happened on the mission, but things have a habit of not working out. (Iruka should know)

Summary
The night was crisp when Iruka finally made it outside. Kakashi was sitting on the steps, his face softly lit by the porch lights. A light breeze ruffled Kakashi’s hair and Iruka shivered, pulling the blanket tighter around his shoulders. Sometimes, when the night was particularly bad, Kakashi would sit by the pond in Sakumo’s yukata and feed the koi to hide the sound of his tears falling into the water.
Sometimes, all one needs is to be listened to.

Summary
"Anko? Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" He croaked back sleepily, sitting up so he could see her. Anko usually visited Kurenai and Mirai after an easy mission, or stopped by the training ground after a bad one, so her presence here was unexpected. "Did something happen?"
She nodded wordlessly, responding after a moment. “It’s– it’s fine. I don’t–.” She paused and looked away, a barely-visible flush on her cheeks. “I just–” Her voice trailed off. “I just wanted a hug. I’m sorry.”
He shook his head and opened his arms, scooting over to make room for her. “No, Anko, come here. You’ll never bother me.”
Anko comes back after a bad mission. Iruka helps her when she breaks.

Summary
“Uh, Iruka-sensei? Do you want help?” Naruto said, carefully creeping into the kitchen.
“No, no. It’s fine. I ca-”
“Because whatever you have on the stove is about to overflow.”
Iruka’s eyes widened and he dropped everything to rush over, cursing under his breath, just in time for the eggnog to spill over.
Iruka slumped down to the floor and rested the back of his head against the cabinets in order to survey the damage. There was flour on the counter, a questionable puddle in the corner, and eggnog on the cabinets and, now, in his hair. The egg yolk on his shirt felt uncomfortably sticky and he could feel something drying on his cheek. He didn’t know what.
Iruka sighed and let his face fall into his hands. “I’m sorry Naruto. This was supposed to be a good dinner and I messed it up.”
