Naruto: The Bijozakura Seal by megyal

The Bijozakura Seal (Iruka/Kakashi | R | 38,055 words): Iruka and Kakashi accidentally get their chakra bound together on a mission. I liked Iruka and Kakashi's very different reactions to the situation, and it's amazing how much they manage to keep secrets from each other despite being able to read each other's emotions.

Excerpt:
"How will we run like this, sensei?" Kakashi lifted their joined hands.

Iruka's smile faded and he gave Kakashi a narrow stare. "I can keep up," he answered shortly. "I only look slow."

"I didn't say you were," Kakashi snapped in return, feeling his skin begin to flush with what seemed to be mostly annoyance.

"You didn't have to." Iruka's eyes were narrowed at him, with those thick black lashes and then... well, Kakashi really didn't know what happened. One moment, they were glaring at each other in mutual annoyance and the next, Kakashi had his mask pulled down to his chin and they were kissing. He tasted Iruka's surprised gasp, and pressed closer as Iruka's lips parted, their tongues tangling together.

Their chakra danced around them, curling and pulling them close, wrapping taut bands of power around them. Iruka's free hand stroked Kakashi's cheek tentatively as their lips moved together, and Kakashi felt something jab against his skin.

Surprised, he pulled away, fixing his mask before Iruka's eyes fluttered open. That... that should not have happened. Not with Iruka, not with anyone. The loss of control was unsettling, not to mention the odd feel of Iruka's chest against his, and how his thighs had pressed against Kakashi's. He gritted his teeth as his chakra ached in his bones, needing to be close to Iruka again.

"That... that was just the bond forcing us," he said in a monotone, looking away from Iruka's kiss-swollen mouth. Then, his exposed eye widened as his gaze landed on Iruka's free hand, still held up in the air, fingers curled loosely.

There were small sparks of blue lightning dancing around his fingers. Kakashi grabbed him by the wrist and stared at the tiny flashes until they faded.

"That's my chakra," Kakashi muttered and looked accusingly at Iruka, as if the other man had crept inside his skin and stolen all his carefully developed skills.
