"No, thank yo-" "We'd love to!" Naruto said while placing his hand on my mouth, interrupting me. I licked his hand as he quickly dragged it back. I could see the sun-kissed skin on his face turn red. "Sasuke!" He yelled as the girls stared at us in confusion. I sighed, leaving Naruto and opening the cottage doors. 

                                                      *   *   *

The two young ladies gazed at me expectantly, their visages devoid of any expression, while they awaited my response. "Oh, he agreed...I suppose. Well, uh...Bye! Hinata~chan and Sakura!~chan!" I uttered hastily before dashing towards the cottage where Sasuke had retreated in a huff. I forcefully pushed open the doors and bellowed, "Sasuke! You can't just leave like that in the middle of a-" My voice trailed off as I caught sight of Sasuke, who was seated at a table with a fork and spoon in his hands. "What are you doing?" I inquired, my head cocked to the side with curiosity.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous as Sasuke's piercing gaze landed on me. His dark eyes seemed to penetrate my very being, causing me to blush uncontrollably. "I'm hungry...and I can't cook," Sasuke stated matter-of-factly, throwing me off guard. I didn't know what to say, so I simply nodded and headed to the kitchen, hoping to avoid any further embarrassment.

As I rummaged through the pantry, trying to figure out what to make, I heard Sasuke sigh in the distance. Before I could react, he was standing behind me, his body so close to mine that I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck. I shivered involuntarily, feeling a strange mix of fear and excitement.

"Naruto...you can cook?" Sasuke asked in a quiet, husky voice, making my heart skip a beat. I turned to face him, my face burning with embarrassment. "Y-yeah," I stammered, barely able to get the words out.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but he didn't move away either. He just stood there, his eyes locked on mine as if waiting for me to say something else. I felt my mouth go dry as I struggled to come up with a response. "Naruto...is there something I could do?" he finally asked, his voice low and seductive.

I hesitated for a moment, not sure what he was getting at. But then I realized that he was offering to help. "Umm, you can cut the onions," I suggested, pointing to the bowl of vegetables on the counter. Sasuke nodded and pulled a knife out of the drawer, his movements slow and deliberate.

As he began to chop the onions, I couldn't help but watch him, mesmerized by the way his muscles rippled under his shirt. I felt a strange attraction to him, one that I couldn't quite explain. But for now, I was content to just stand there, watching him work, and enjoying the warmth of his presence. 

As I watched him cut onions as his dark black wings widened covering his pale face from my gaze. I pouted because of not being able to see his face. His wings quickly diverted back to their original state. Sasuke then connected my gaze with his emotionless face as it quickly formed a smile. My face heated as I saw Sasuke's rare smile. I cheerfully smiled back as I turned my head to the stove.

                                               *   *   *

I glanced at Naruto as I could see his stare from a mile away. I give him a small smile. Something I hate doing...But I guess it's different with Naruto. I thought to myself as Naruto's gaze landed on the stove in front of him. Ugh, how I'd wish to confess to Naruto right now! Angry boiled in my blood as I remembered seeing him blushing at that girl with the lavender eyes. 

I was so angry I hadn't realized I had cut my hand with the knife. I groaned in pain as I dropped the knife. Naruto turned to me as he saw the blood oozing out of my hand. His eyes widened in shock. "Sasuke! What's happened!" Naruto shouted, I could see the fear in his eyes. I had probably raced the pace in my cutting due to my frustration, as the wound on my hand was quite deep. 

I hated myself for making Naruto worry like this. I thought trying to ignore the pain as quickly Naruto grabbed my hand. Naruto then suddenly...licked the blood off my hand as it continued oozing out. I blushed as I felt his hot tongue on my pale skin. I forgot about the pain as I turned away, blushing, avoiding Naruto's innocent gaze.

"Your wound is deep, kid..." Naruto stated as the last word of his sentence pissed me off as I saw a smirk form on his face. Kid! Kid! For god's sake! This blonde doesn't know who he's messing with! I said to myself as Naruto walked back to the stove.
