Hey tumblr I need help finding a Naruto fanfic about iruka. Basically Naruto tells iruka he lost the headband he gave him and how sorry he was, iruka is like "then it did it's job" cuz it's a forehead protector after all. And how iruka can't protect Naruto anymore but he can do this and gives Naruto a new headband (ie his own again), later after Naruto leaves kakashi appears and gives iruka his own headband so iruka will always be safe even when kakashi isn't there mirroring iruka's words to Naruto
I can't remember if it was on AO3 or Fanfiction.note but it's either or
Edit: IT'S BEEN FOUND YIPPE! ty @virtualcarrot and @camilita-ita-ita for finding it!!
Here's a link to the fic for those interested in reading it! Here
