do you have headcanons for the Anbu prankster Iruka x Hound Anbu Kakashi dynamic? :0
as a matter of fact I do!
To me the hound and iruka dynamic when their younger is very much "i hate what you stand for, not you specifically."
Iruka hates the fact the ANBU dont help the commun people in his eyes, that they didn't protect his family in kyuubii atack and is extreamly jealous of the attentiom they get (and also sort of pity them. but you wont ever catch him saying that.). Meanwhile, hound is astonished over how this kid is allowed to get away with things that would get any other person, like him, killed and on trial for treason. He cannot comprehend the fact this child is well, a child. He enbys him and hates him.
So for me, their dynamic is a very much a "Bothered by you, asshole, who also takes care of me and helps me gro as a person."
Iruka who puts glitter in Hounds sword hikt after Hound is mean about the commun peoples ability to whistand tragedy. Hound who tells iruka to open his eyes and that his not the only one that hows through hardship by simply showing up injured to one of their talks. Iruka who swears up and down he doesn't worry when he doesn't see Hound around for more than 2 weeks. Hound who dreams of sharingan eyes, orange jackets and goggles mixing with deep brown eyes, stiff at the collar chunin uniforms and ink splashes on hands.
They go around echother the entire time slowly getting closer, and Iruka developing a crush/deep fondness for Hound, and hound a curiosity of him. Which results in more pranks, more splashed ink, more visits to the Hokage and slowly trickled down until Iruka relaxes and Kakashi is taken off ANBU.
They both reminisce about echither and their in retrospect crushes on echother for years even telling echother anecdotes of echother and both dont realize they are speaking of the other until much much later
