    Summary

    Once they come of age, omegas in Konoha are expected to being courting and find a mate - or one would be found for them. Konoha needed more ninja, after all!

    Iruka searches for a way around it, and finds himself a target. An alpha out of the village frequently, who doesn't seem interested in courting, but who needs to so the Council will leave him alone.

    There are worse ways to start a love story.

    Summary

    Through stubbornness and what Kakashi calls a ‘dazzling display of heart,’ Iruka somehow befriends the CEO of Hatake Corp, Hatake himself. And no, despite what Iruka’s friends might think, Kakashi is not his sugar daddy. Kakashi is giving and selfless, and he’s Iruka’s friend, kind and reliable. Sure, he does constantly try to buy Iruka things, and he’s attentive, almost overwhelmingly so, but that’s just how he is: Kakashi is lonely. He’s not used to having friends. 

    Besides, their relationship is totally platonic. There's no sugaring. If anything—and this is a big if—he’d be something like a… Sugar Friend. Yeah, something adjacent to that.

    Iruka is becoming increasingly unsure if that is actually true.

    Summary

    After the invasion and the death of the Sandaime, Iruka is left behind in Konoha to pick up the pieces as Naruto leaves for his special training. It's a lonely time, and it's a tough one. Everyone is struggling, from his littlest students to his shinobi friends, and Iruka is no different—the days pass in a haze of work, rebuilding, and comforting those around him.

    Then something absurd happens. When an ANBU crawls through the window of Iruka's classroom after hours, half feral and positively begging to fuck him like a hound might beg for food scraps, Iruka surprises himself.

    He says yes.

    Summary

    Iruka hadn't even known that Soulmate-Seeking Syndrome was a thing until his body got fed up of him not completing the bond with his soulmate. It would be fine if he had any clue who was his soulmate.

    Summary

    Brushing debris off of the note, Iruka gently unfolded it, trying not to rip the damp creases.
     
    "Ukki-san enjoys watering three times a week, gentle dusting of his leaves, and daily haiku readings. He tells me the light from your bedroom window is perfect.
    He would like to thank you for taking care of him, and tells me I owe you two favors now.
    Back in twelve days.
    P.S. A perfect mission report is worth at least four favors, sensei, so think of something else."

    A henohenomoheji stared at Iruka in place of a signature.
     
     
    (Or, Kakashi doesn't know how to ask someone to care for him, so he'll get Iruka to look after his plant as a proxy.)
