Forbidden Attraction

Chapter 7: Burnt Toast

Sakura was awoken by the bright light streaming into her eyes. Blinking away the glare, she sat up in bed, causing the sheets to slip down to her waist and exposing her skin to the chilly morning air. Quickly, she pulled the sheet back up to cover her naked body, feeling a shiver run through her. Glancing over at Sasuke, who was still fast asleep, she couldn't resist smiling at how adorable he looked. Leaning down, she gave him a tender kiss on the cheek before slipping out of bed to prepare breakfast.

With her hair tousled and Sasuke's shirt draped over her frame, Sakura padded into the kitchen to whip up a delicious meal. She hummed to herself as she moved around, the tantalizing aroma of bacon and eggs wafting through the apartment. Sakura considered herself quite a good cook, and she couldn't wait to surprise Sasuke with a hearty breakfast.

However, her pleasant morning took an unexpected turn when she turned her attention away from the stove for just a moment too long. The sizzling sounds turned into a loud hiss, and the smell of something burning filled the air. Panicking, Sakura tried to salvage the situation, but it was too late. The eggs were scorched, and the bacon had turned into crispy, black strips.

Cursing under her breath, Sakura quickly turned off the stove, but the damage was done. She sighed in frustration and decided to serve Sasuke toast with butter and jam, the only things she hadn't managed to ruin. She arranged the plate carefully, trying to make it look as appetizing as possible.

Just as Sakura was finishing the plate of toast, Sasuke walked into the kitchen, still looking a bit groggy from sleep. Sakura forced a bright, innocent smile, despite her embarrassment over her cooking mishap.

"Good morning, Sasuke," she chimed, holding out the plate of toast. "I made breakfast."

Sasuke glanced at the burnt eggs and bacon, then back at Sakura. He raised an eyebrow but didn't say a word. Sakura's smile remained unwavering.

"Please, have some," she insisted, pushing the plate toward him.

Sasuke's eyes lingered on the burnt toast, which was now slathered with jam, before returning to Sakura. She let out a sigh, her shoulders slumping in disappointment.

"I'm terrible at this," she confessed, but her disappointment quickly turned into a giggle. "Well, no point crying over burnt toast, right?" she said, trying to find humor in the situation. "Get dressed; we're going out for breakfast."

Hinata awoke to the sensation of Mochi's paws on her face, followed by the sound of her meowing. "I'm coming, Mochi," Hinata groaned as she slowly sat up in bed. Stretching her arms, she looked at her playful and hungry cat before petting her head and getting up. Walking slowly into her kitchen, Hinata opened a cabinet that contained all of Mochi's supplies and grabbed a can of cat food. She opened it and placed it on the floor for Mochi to enjoy as she happily ate away. Hinata then made her way back to bed, ready to go back to sleep. But just as she settled in, there was a knock at her door, causing her to groan in frustration.

With a tired sigh, Hinata dragged herself out of bed and made her way to the front door. She opened it to find Sakura and Sasuke standing on the other side, and without a word, she turned around and left the door open for them to come in. As she walked into the kitchen to grab some cups, her bear-patterned panties were briefly exposed. Still groggy and not fully aware of her surroundings.

As she returned to Sakura and Sasuke, she noticed Sakura covering Sasuke's eyes. Confused, Hinata asked, "What's going on?"

"Hinata, you're not wearing pants!" Sakura hissed.
