Kakashi's POV:
"Getting in that hot tub tonight!" Sakura exclaims excitedly after what felt like a long pause.
"Ah!" I feel the breath re-enter my body. "Not a bad idea." Bad idea, bad. Terrible idea. "Although, I don't think we brought swimsuits." I feign a thinking face.
"Who needs those?"
My eyes widen at her.
"Kidding, kidding!" She laughs. "We can get some."
"Sounds like a plan," I smile reassuringly.

Sakura's POV:
I won't lie. The idea of sharing a hot tub with Kakashi sends chills throughout my body, especially considering the fact that requires me to wear a swimsuit in front of him. However, the idea oddly excites me as well. I've felt really tense lately, and the warm water and jets could help a lot....
I wonder why you've felt so tense.... Inner Sakura immediately cuts in.
"Yes, Sakura, so please help me instead." His phrase replays in my mind, and the lewdest images I've ever conjured up play in my mind of me doing just that – helping him.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
"Are you cold, Sakura?"
His voice snaps me out of it. "W-why?"
"You shivered."
"Ohh, no no, yeah, I'm fine...."
I feel him peering over at me as we walk. He's clearly not convinced. Why would he be?
"I suppose it would be a shame to let the hot tub go to waste...." He muses.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you have anything, um, a little more... modest?" I lower my voice towards the end, leaning forward a bit. I can already feel my face heating up.
The kind, older lady cackles. "Ah," she lightly taps my arm. "If I had a body like yours, I would never hide it!" Regardless, she sets the tiny string bikini aside and collects three more options. "I have a one-piece, strapless, and this one in the same color." She holds them out for me to see.
The one-piece is tempting, but a little bit too full coverage in an awkward, obvious way. The neckline is very high, and the bottom looks almost saggy.
The strapless one is very cute, but the idea of my breasts falling out in front of Kakashi makes me eliminate that option altogether.
The third one, however, is perfect. It's another bikini, but it's fuller coverage. The straps are thicker, and the bottoms hit a little bit higher on the waist. It's definitely more unique because of the metal hoop that holds the top part together.
"I'll take this one." I motion, smiling politely.
"Ah, yes, perfect!" She beams before a sly look crosses her face. "I'm sure your husband will love it too." Her eyes dart to Kakashi perusing the men's section some feet away.
I blush lightly but don't bother correcting her.
"Done already?" Kakashi raises his eyebrows when I walk back over to him, bag in hand. "What did you choose?"
"It's a surprise." I shrug. "Did you find yours yet?"
He smirks at my previous remark but holds up a pair of navy blue swim trunks.
"Nice," I say. Yet, I'm suddenly thinking about the fact that he will be in the hot tub a few feet away from me wearing nothing but that. I force myself to not imagine it.
"Sure you don't want this?" I joke instead, holding up a bottom that is practically a thong.
"Uh, I think I'm fine with these."
I savor the rare moments I can make him flustered and blushing like this.
"Although, I'm sure you would love that." He winks, and my heart skips a beat.
