❖Author Note: A lot of people feel sad when they listen to this piece however I myself find a subtle sense of wonder & beauty to this song that I just think fits this entire chapter.

❖ Chapter 22| First Date 🌸💋
Sakura couldn't help but chuckle as she leaned against the bathroom door, her heart still pounding from their interrupted moment. Gai's obliviousness, coupled with Kakashi's utter exasperation, was a comedy goldmine. She could hear Kakashi's low, if irritated, voice explaining things to Gai. It was always a delight to witness Kakashi getting all riled up, his calm demeanor cracking just enough for that rare glimpse of emotion—although these days not as rare. He was equally charming when his mask slipped in more intimate situations, like earlier.
Sakura let her mind wander back to the moment before Gai's intrusion. She loved how Kakashi always seemed to know exactly how to touch her, how he brought her to the brink of pleasure before pulling back, letting her hover in that delicious state of anticipation. His lips on her skin, his fingers exploring, it was everything she loved about their relationship—the passion, intimacy, and mutual understanding.

But it wasn't just the physical intimacy she loved about being with Kakashi. It was also the way he respected her, encouraged her, and supported her. He was not just her lover but also her partner, her confidante, her best friend. They balanced each other out perfectly—her fiery spirit and his calm nature created a harmony that she cherished immensely.
Sakura shook her head, pulling herself from her thoughts. She glanced around the bathroom, her eyes landing on the decently sized bathtub. A smile played on her lips as an idea formed in her mind. She turned on the faucet, letting it fill with hot water. As the steam started to fill the room, she couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement.
Once the tub was full, she undressed, slowly lowering herself into the hot water. The warmth felt heavenly on her skin, soothing her muscles and relaxing her. She let out a content sigh, closing her eyes and leaning back.
