Sweet Nectar

Chapter Four. Secrets

Third person POV

The next morning the blonde woke up with the warm sunlight shining down on him, he yawned and stretched his arms, blinking his crystal blue eyes a few times to adjust his eyesight. His blonde curls went wild after a good night sleep, sticking out from the sides. The bed he was sleeping in was so comfy that he wanted to steal it back to his place.

He looked around the room he was in right now, Rococo styled furniture and antiques, light, airy, and whimsical, filled with pastel colors, gold, silver, marble, and ivory. From crystal chandeliers to detailed wood carvings on the arm of the sofa, he was staying in such an elegant room. He couldn't help but sigh, he never thought he would be staying in a room like this.

Naruto got off the bed and wore his slippers, going to the bathroom to start the day. After he's done with everything, he went out of the room and headed over to the dining room. He recalled his memory when Lee and the others took him to his room last night.

Walking pass some of the rooms and turned left but then he realised he was lost, he arrived in a different place where full of books on the tall shelves with high ceilings and detailed carvings. The blonde assumed he was in a library, the air filled with the distinct scent of old paper and ink. He decided to look around the place until he heard a voice from afar.

"You woke up pretty early, Naruto chan. What brings you here to the library?"

Naruto turned to the voice to see a black haired guy sitting on the window sill with one leg on it and another hanging down, a hand holding a pencil and the other a sketchbook. The sunlight shining down on his pale white skin giving a soft glow. The blonde snapped out from his daydreaming and bashfully spoke out.

"I...got lost midway to the dining room, Sai san..."

"Just call me Sai. It took me some time to figure out the structure of this building too. The breakfast starts after fifteen minutes, I'll take you there. But for now...do you want to keep me company?" Sai said as he eyesmiled at Naruto and held out his hand to him.

"Is it okay for me to be here? Won't I bother you?"

"In fact, you came here in a good time. Could you sit opposite me?"

The blonde tilted his head in confusion with question marks popping above his head but walked closer to him and sat opposite him as he was told. The black haired boy flipped over to a new blank white paper and started sketching on it. The sound of paper sketching and birds chirping outside the window were the only sounds they heard in the room.

Sai occasionally looked up to Naruto and then back to the paper. With this closed up to the boy in front of him, the blonde could clearly see the distinct features of the black haired boy. The pale skin he had almost seemed to glow even without the sunlight shining on him and his black hair looked soft to touch. To the blonde's surprise, the boy had long eyelashes and a sharp jawline, he noticed that the other Biters had the same distinctive feature, to conclude, handsome and pretty looking. Naruto kept staring at Sai curiously with his legs hugging to himself, Sai looked up and met the sapphire eyes of the blonde who was staring intensely at him, he let out a soft chuckle and asked.

"Is there something on my face, Naruto chan?"

Naruto blinked a few times innocently and realised he stared too much, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, waving his hands in the air and got flustered.

"E-Eh...Ah! N-No...! Um...I..."

Sai's hands unconsciously stopped his sketch and reached out to Naruto's cheeks, gently cupping in his hands and using his thumbs to caress them. The blonde simply stared at him without a word without saying a word, he could see his reflection in his eyes.
