I'm warm.

[midnightdiddle]

Today's a slightly stormy day. Sprinkles here, gray and grey clouds there, and wind. So, I ate a bunch of chili (sorry, nezumiko) with my dad, and my tummy's nice and warm. I like chilly.

Question on words. Grey and gray. How do you see/use them? In my mind (since I'm random and insane (in a good way!)), grey is the darker of the two, the color that's close to black, while gray is the lighter one, closer to white. See? So my cat's 'grey,' but my computer is 'gray.' Two different words. Well, that's just me.

Oh, a random, tiny, amazingly short drabble thing. Because it called.



"Ow! Son of a-"

"What happened to you?"

Iruka looked over at Kakashi, adopting a most mournful, pitiful expression. He held up his arm and Kakashi leaned across the kitchen's island.

"You burned yourself? How the crap did you do that? I mean, you're a ninja."

"Whoops?" Iruka hazarded, and Kakashi moved around the island, grabbing Iruka's arm and pulling the teacher towards the sink.

"Whoops? You're so clumsy in the kitchen. Remember when you nearly chopped off your finger? I shouldn't let you cook anymore." Kakashi turned on the water, holding Iruka's arm under the faucet. Iruka winced away when the water hit his arm and Kakashi tightened his grip on him. "Just let the water stop the burning. What were you doing?"

"I was just taking something out of the oven." Iruka was staring at his arm, at red mark.

"Taking what?"

Iruka nearly blushed, biting his lower lip as his face began to burn. "Umm, something."

"What?" Kakashi was torn between being amused and annoyed. When Iruka did begin to blush, in earnest, he settled with amused.

Iruka mumbled something under his breath, suddenly very interested in his arm, and Kakashi bumped him on the shoulder lightly.

"What?" he asked again.

"It's your birthday, so I was making you a cake," Iruka stated, embarrassed, adding a half-hearted 'jerk,' as an afterthought. Kakashi laughed, tugging on Iruka's arm so the chuunin stumbled, falling against the older man.

"Idiot," Kakashi laughed, leaning down to plant a mask-covered kiss on Iruka's mouth. "What a cute idiot."

"I'm not cute, you bastard," Iruka snapped, and when Kakashi laughed more, he leaned against the jounin harder.




Ugh... Fluff? It's certainly not my area of expertise. Was that spelled right?

The drabble was cute. ^_^ I love your Iruka so much! <3 You really potrays him well. Other authors tend to write him too nice, too... weak. He is a nice person, and it's a good thing, but we've seen that sometimes, he can loose his patience too. I guess he has to, sometimes, with someone like Kakashi...;-)

Well, I can't comment on the 'gray' and 'grey' thing, since english isn't my first language (I didn't even know that you could use both of them!) but I can tell you that indeed, 'fluff' is spelled that way. ;-)

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

Really? What's your first language? I'm so curious now!

Actually, I wasn't worried that fluff was spelled wrong, but 'expertise.' Because I'm really not sure how that's spelled, but I think that it's right.

And I'm so glad you liked the drabble, and Iruka. I really, really hate a weak Iruka.

[dana-fields.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry I misunderstood! ^^'''

And my first language is French.

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine.

French? That's so cool!

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

And... I'm assuming you're in France? (bad assumption?) If so, what time is it there? Must be early morning.

[dana-fields.livejournal.com]

Hum, no, in fact, I'm in Canada. It's 00:35, and hot. You would think that after so much rain (we had a big storm eariler tonight with thunder and everything), it would have gotten more confortable, but no T.T

And where are you? I'm curious, too. (Sorry if you said it before!)

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

In the US, down in Utah, actually.

We had a thunderstorm, with rain and everything, today, too! Just tonight. Power went out and I got to play with candles, and nearly burnt the house down. Fun times!

XDXD

Wee ~~ A fluffly drabble ! *____*

I don't get why you say you're not good at them ... >___> I thought this one was simply adorable and fluffy !! XD

[luv-wiz.livejournal.com]

oh yah , about grey and gray .... O___o;;

Aren't they the same thing , except spelled differently ? Kind of like ... potatoes potatos ?

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

With the gray/grey thing...I'm just crazy. People in America spell it both ways, though. I'm the only one with my different gray/grey.

Iruka's scrummy? Umm...what does scrummy mean? I'm taking it as a compliment, either way. :)

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I'm all happy and stuff.

[nezumiko.livejournal.com]

Fun! Iruka's a klutz in the kitchen - somehow I like that. It's a nice contrast to all the womanly Irukas who are kitchen geniuses. (Not that being a kitchen genius is either womanly or a bad thing - I'm just saying...)

I use grey - gray is - I don't know - less round of a word. It feels like it has less depth. So I'm as messed up about these variant spellings as you are, if not more so...

And eat all the chilis you want, just so long as you don't make ME eat any ^^

[midnightdiddle.livejournal.com]

I understand entirely what you're saying.

And in randomless...look at my icon! I found it! It's all...dancy!

[anyjen.livejournal.com]

Actually, both "grey" and "gray" are exactly the same colour. It's just that people couldn't make up their mind how to spell it and both ended up being accepted.
And yay for I'm-not-cute!Iruka.

[anyjen.livejournal.com]

You know, that icon leaves me thinking. Doesn't that kinda look like Sasuke on drag?
