The Cyclist {Karin Uzumaki Love Story}

Chapter Six: Fish Tank

Karin POV-

I sat down on my bed in nothing but my towel with my hair tied up in a bun. It was about 6-ish AM and I didn't know what to wear. It clicked in my head that I was supposed to wear Rei's hoodie, maybe I'll just put some leggings on with that.

I went to my dresser and pulled out a bra and some panties and quickly pulled them on. I pulled on some black cutoff leggings and then walked to my closet and slid on Rei's hoodie. I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed the design that was on it. It was black and said Sleeping With Sirens and like paint splatters all over it.

"Where have I heard this name before...?" I wondered out loud.

It took me a second but I remembered being dragged to one of those concerts with Sakura, Sasuke and Suigetsu. It was fun I guess, but it wasn't my style of music though.

I then sighed, realizing that Rei was a punk rocker. I picked up my phone from my night stand and texted him:

'We still on for Panera today right?'

He texted back quickly, as always.

'That was actually supposed to be yesterday lol but yeah today is cool.'

'Shoot I forgot. But yeah today is fine.'

'Cool, see ya at 6.'

I quickly went to the kitchen and decided on some eggs and a bagel for breakfast.

<^LATER AT SCHOOL^>

I sighed and sat down in my English class in my usual seat towards the front of the class. After a second or two Rei sat down next to me and smiled, "That looks nice on you."

I shrugged and smirked, "I guess. Not really my type but it'll do."

He smiled and the teacher waltzed into class with one hand in his pocket. He took off his glasses and scanned the room, his silver eyebrows furrowed, "Uzumaki not here today huh?" He chuckled.

"He's probably just late again," Someone spoke up from the back.

The teacher nodded and put his thin glasses back on and picked up a black whiteboard marker. He turned around and his attention was back on education.

After a couple of minutes into class Naruto busted through the door, exclaiming: "I was up all night watching- I mean studying!"

After class it was close to six o'clock, so I met up with Rei outside of the school in the parking lot. I saw him come out of the school and he walked over to where he parked his bike. I quickly got into my car and followed him as he drove off of campus and towards the closest Panera Bread.

I got out of my car once we got there and followed him inside as he ran his fingers through his mohawk. I watched as his back muscles constricted and moved under his tight band t-shirt.

'Yummy' I thought to myself walking inside of the fairly crowded restaurant.

He walked over to a table and sat down his Adidas backpack. He looked over at me and smiled, "Just take a seat, I'll go order okay?"

"What? No way. I can order my own food." I sat my bag down on a chair and took my wallet out of it. "We can both go."

He shrugged, "Fine. If someone steals your bag don't be mad."

I rolled my eyes and walked to the line to order food, "Hi and welcome to Panera Bread how can I help you?" The cashier asked.

"I'd like one bread bowl with chicken noodle soup, and a coffee for my drink?"

"Of course!" She typed my order into the register and smiled, "That'll be $11.74 please."

I gave the girl the money and she handed me back my change. I grabbed my numbered ticket and walked to the other side of the counter where the orders were being given out to the people that ordered them. Soon Rei joined me and we waited in silence together.

"So you really got into an accident before? Any scars?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah, it was a pretty bad one too. Internal bleeding, broken bones and all that fun stuff. But I have a pretty bad scar on my side, been thinking about getting it covered with a tattoo." he answered holding his drink in his hand. He took a sip and then sighed, "But I mean damn, too many tattoos and I'd be covered."

"Ya know, I never really paid attention to your tattoos before." I said with a shrug.

"Really? You didn't notice when we went jogging? I didn't have a shirt on."

I felt my cheeks heat up, "I wasn't concentrating too hard on them. But I mean hey, they are pretty nice tattoos."

"Do you have any?"

"Tattoos?" I asked. He nodded with a small smile. "Well... yeah... but it's not for many people to see."

"What's wrong is it a tramp stamp? It can't be that bad." He chuckled.

"No it's uh..an under breast tattoo, and you can only see it when I'm naked." I answered looking down at the empty bread bowl in front of me.

"Really now?" I could tell by the tone of his voice that he had a smirk on his face, "Well hey, everyone has their own tastes. If it makes you feel any better, I think it's damn well cute that you have a tattoo like that."

I felt my entire face flush and I heard him chuckle, "Shut up Rei."

He cackled a little more before calming down and taking a deep breath. We were silent for a while and then I looked up at his serious face, "What?" I asked.

He bit his bottom lip, "I'm still really sorry about you and Suigetsu.... Really I am. I shouldn't have been a douche to him about the entire situation..." he rubbed the back of his head nervously looking down at the table.

I felt that what he said was sincere, "It's fine. He got jealous really easily and besides, I think he was gonna end it with me anyways..." I half lied. Suigetsu and I were going strong, but he was the most jealous man I've ever met. "It really is okay."
