Naruto's eyes opened slowly. His body felt heavy against the warm bed. Not much light entered the room other than the tiny amount that seeped through his thick curtains. He tried to recall his dream, but it was already gone.

His neck was a little stiff from being in one position for so long, so he looked over to the side. There, you were facing him. Still peacefully sleeping. Your lips were slightly parted, and your chest was rising and falling steadily.

Naruto stared at your form. He had forgotten you were staying the night over. What's even worse is that he hadn't slept on the couch like he originally intended. He wasn't thinking straight yesterday. He was way too tired to make rational decisions.

His eyes scanned your soft face, or at least it looked soft. He looked at your brows, your nose, your ears, your cheeks, your jaw, and your lips. His gaze then dangerously traveled down your body. Although he had just woken up, he knew exactly what he was doing. And he did not care if he got caught.

His blue eyes found your neck and then your waist. His eyes lingered there, remembering what it had been like to hold you. He wondered if it would ever happen again. He hoped it would.

He continued to stare without shame. Unafraid of the possibility of you waking up. He looked at your hips and then your exposed legs. The shirt that you'd borrowed from him was big enough to cover your upper thigh.

He liked you in his clothes.

He thought about waking you up, but he dismissed the idea quickly.

His face remained blank, but his thoughts ran wild. He wanted more. He was already so close to you, he could touch you if he wanted.

He raised his arm and brushed some hair that was covering your face to the side.

"Damn."

It was 12:00pm when you woke up. Your eyes had opened, but closed once again. You didn't have the strength to wake up. Not yet anyway.

You had slept really nicely, Naruto's bed was very soft. You opened your eyes again and looked around. Naruto wasn't anywhere to be found.

"Naruto?" You called, your voice still a little raspy  from sleeping for so long. Footsteps were heard from the distance.

"Good morning!" You heard his cheery voice. You rubbed your face with your hands and got off his warm bed. Your feet touched the cold floor and chills went up your spine.

"What are you doing?"  You asked as you walked out of his room.

"I was waiting for you to wake up!" He exclaimed while gather a few things in his living room.

"Why are you so excited?" You asked confused.

"We're leaving." He replied finally facing you. His hair was still messy from sleeping; nevertheless, he looked ready to go out.

"Um, where?" You said crossing your arms. Naruto forced himself to keep his eyes on your own.

"Well," he approached you cunningly, "the spring festival is almost here and we need to go shopping for everyone."
