Summary
They skittered apart from one another, half-empty bottles and pint glasses tumbling from tabletops, shattering and sending alcohol running across the floor, as the two men put distance between themselves at any cost.
"Alpha?" he gaped, though no sound came out.
"Omega," the other hissed back, equally soundlessly.Series

Summary
Iruka has been receiving flowers for a couple of years now but has never thought to look into it despite his friends' insistence; in between teaching the hokage’s son and the mission desk there just wasn’t time for sleuthing. Now the final exam is drawing near which means more training for Naruto and more of his not-a-brother coming to “supervise”.

Summary
The Fourth Shinobi World War had taken someone precious from Iruka, and the year that followed was the worst of his life. Iruka's struggle to break the surface of the sea of darkness threatening to drown him has him realizing that he doesn't have to go through this alone, and that the most important people in his life are invaluable in his journey to healing. However, Iruka's developing feelings for Kakashi are confusing and terrifying, and he has to figure out how to separate them from the turmoil of his past.
The loss of the Sharingan has taken its toll on Kakashi's chakra, and he struggles with a condition that threatens to completely overtake him if not dealt with in time. Struggling to keep his condition under wraps while trying to find his own answers about what makes a good Hokage, Kakashi finds himself gravitating towards Iruka more and more as time goes on. How can he reconcile how he feels while watching Iruka grapple with the ghosts of his past?
Through each other, they both discover that healing isn't a linear path, love isn't a rational emotion, and that if they both just try, they'll find the answers they've both been looking for.
