Perfect Disguise

Under His Mask

Sukino's Point of View

Without a doubt I definitely fell into deep slumber, the sofa Kakashi-sensei had is amazing. It's so soft and the aesthetic of his place is just- it's beautiful. The black and white contrasts the simple patterns, but it still feels home-y. 

"Haruno."

Mhmm.. 5 more minutes!

"Haruno?"

ZZzzzzZzzzZzzzzzz

"Haruno!"

I jolted up from the sofa I was laying on and immediately regretted it, I'm super close to my male teacher's face that I almost fainted. I back up away, giving a little space between us. Phew!

He cocked his eyebrow and said "Well, class is going to start in a few minutes. You can stay here if you still feel sick."

No, Sukino. You are fine, you are fine, you are fine.

I waved my hands in front of him dismissively. "No thank you sensei, I'll take it from-" I tried to stand up but lost my balance and fell on top of him.

Just great!

His serious eyes locked into my anxious ones and we're just frozen into place, I can't help but wonder what was under his mask. I unconsciously touch his mask, with him still in shock. I tug it but he holds my wrist.

"Don't."

I swallow the lump in my throat as my face turns cherry red.

"I-I, uhm-ah-" panic washed over me as I forgot to conceal my real voice, oh shit. I coughed and cleared my throat. Keep it cool, Sakura! Get yourself together!

I pushed his chest and apologized to him, I bowed my head in embarrassment. Stay still, heart! Don't go too crazy, can't you see it's already hard for me? I glance at him, his ears were red and he felt uncomfortable. Perv! His thoughts are crystal clear.  Based on the novels he reads, it's just too obvious. He suddenly gets all serious and looks at me, catching me staring at him. I quickly glance at another object. Ugh, way to go. Captain Obvious.

"You know what? Since I'm an hour late anyway. I'm skipping today's work."

Wait-

"What?!"

He looks shy and looks at me dead in the eye.

"I'm going to nurse you till you recover."

Gee, thanks mama Kakashi.
