you had just started your first year at the academy! Everything was going great, though you were a shy kid you still managed to make some friends but mostly stayed to yourself

Iruka being the kind hearted man that he was always prided himself in making sure his students were okay, even if in some cases it wasn't necessary. He even cared for one of his students, Naruto, like he was his own. Making Naruto feel some sense of belonging since he had no family to belong to

Iruka took note that you were a shy student who didn't really talk much. But one day when you came to class he noticed you weren't acting the same as usual. You were more closed off and distant, you yelled at anyone who pestered you to talk and anyone who tried to talk to you. You just sat in a corner and frowned while everyone played and had fun.

he decided to figure out what was wrong, I mean you were one of his best students and now you were being all closed off and quiet. So he walked over to the corner and sat next to you the scilence filling the corner for a few seconds before be sighed and looked at you

Iruka: are you... Doing okay kiddo?
