High Expectations (sasunaru)

5.

I'm pissed, jealous, and turned on. Who's to blame? Take a wild guess buttercup. What a shitty day I had. 

An abrupt buzz coursed through my ears as I lay on my side during my slumber. I groaned and reached for the vibrating device, blinking my eyes repeatedly before I'd let my blurred vision defeat me. I knitted my eyebrows as I scrolled through the countless alarms I set. They were sundered by ten minutes each for reasons of my skepticism. I deleted the alarms and inhaled through my nose. I fluttered my eyelashes back when the smell of old pine wood and citrus spiked my senses. Why was this aroma so incredibly familiar? 

"Mornin'," Kiba mumbled from afar. I squinted my eyes and observed him as he dropped a variety of fruits into a blender. I slumped forward and was dazed at the sight of an unfamiliar item that was oddly hanging from my side of my bed. I reached for the orange piece of fabric and rolled it against my fists. I narrowed my eyes as I slowly inched myself closer to the bright-colored cotton. I shortly inhaled through my nose and widened my eyes in response to the scent. This surely wasn't Kiba's, nor was it mine.

"Sorry about that, I kinda threw it off in a rush for the workout," Naruto broke the silence as he sheepishly walked towards my stiffened body. I gritted my teeth and furrowed my eyebrows as I viciously fired the shirt towards his face.

"I warned you not to get in my way," I rumbled while throwing the covers off my body.

"How can a lousy shirt possibly get in your way?" He argued, crossing his arms while he calmly stood in front of me. He was right, the shirt wasn't a valid excuse. What got in my way was him footing shirtless in front of my bed. I had an inward feeling he began to tick me off on purpose 'cause he remembered our kiss. Except, he was still an oblivious blond so I couldn't be sure. My gaze suddenly fell onto his abdomen. We had similar figures except his waist appeared slimmer than mine. His tanned skin was glossed from the coat of sweat he acquired during the workout. A variety of veins rushed from his v-line as he subconsciously flexed his defined figure.

I locked my view with a set of blue spheres and arched my left eyebrow. His hair flopped and hung before his view as he tilted his head. He raised his own eyebrow and eyed me down with the intention of a challenge.

"It's yours, isn't it?" I held forth, keeping him trapped under my assertive gaze until he hissed under his breath and sauntered towards the kitchen. I exhaled and shut my eyelids. The nerves in my stomach began to tangle and tear into shreds. The way I communicated with him that night was unnerving. I enjoyed speaking forwardly with him, holding him, touching him, combing my fingers through his hair, and meshing my lips between his. I solely confuse my own feelings by the way I treat him. How could he ever fall for an individual like me?

The pressure stung my heart and made my stomach drop. I strolled towards the kitchen and pushed Kiba aside. "Hey!" he yelled before raising his arm. I gripped the cup that contained a freshly made smoothie and chugged it down my throat. The flavors mingled against the surface of my tongue as I swallowed chunks of it whole. I hummed against the porcelain and shut my eyes. It cooled my nerves and refreshed my warmth, yet another perfect distraction. "You son of a bitch, that was mine!" Kiba spat. I placed the cup into the sink and eyed Naruto from the side.

"Want some?" I asked, lowering my eyelids as I stuck out my tongue. He swallowed harshly and widened his eyes. His eyebrows suddenly curved upwards while his bottom lip quivered. I watched as his body stiffened. The corners of my submissive mouth suddenly twitched uphill from his reaction, causing his body to weaken. "Get out of here you incompetent fuck," my whole body suddenly jolted towards the right as Kiba viciously pushed me out of the kitchen. I lowered my head and snickered. That was fun.

Class finally ended with a knack for sleep. We learned an unimportant hunk about the village we were headed to. It's apparently full of beaches and it's incredibly vast. We'll most likely have an assignment on the village's history, something I'm not looking forward to.
