One of the boys

chapter 16

It was morning, she could hear the birds chirping and a ray of sun had just hit her in the face bothering her eyes, and waling her up completely. She rubbed her eyes, groaning loudly. She didn't feel like waking up, she was too comfy. At least until she felt someone else shifting next to her that made her open her eyes wide open and roam her body, she didn't know why, but she felt the need to check if her clothes were still on she was not that type of girl, and still a virgin at that.

She sighed, relieved that everything was in place, but doing so, she felt her hand touching brushing against something warm and soft.

"What the-?"

Her arm was blocked, as she realized she wasn't just next to somebody, she was actually hugging him, with her head touching his shoulder. How she had gotten herself tangled up against this other person, which she already suspected who it was, after all, it wasn't difficult to imagine.

She raised her head, blushing as her eyes met Itachi's soft features clouded by sleep, his lips were slightly parted and his long black lashes touched his skin some inky strands covered half of his face, hiding it from Naruko's sight.

He was so unguarded, and so vulnerable in his sleep, that she almost felt like an intruder, and she momentarily forgot everything, why was she still in his room, her parents that were probably freaking out and other things, were not important while she could relish in this little intimate moment with the man who she was starting to have strong feelings for.

She smiled softly, her hand brushing the stray locks away from his pale face, so they didn't bother him, and she felt a bit like a freak, creeping on him like that, maybe she should just leave and she tried getting up, when she realized one of his arms was around her waist, not giving her much freedom to move without waking him. She blushed profusely, here she was, on the floor of Itachi's room, so close to him, she could feel his heartbeat and relaxed breathing.

She tried moving again, one of her hands leaning on his chest, feeling the soft texture of his shirt and the slow movement of his chest rising and falling underneath her fingers and she tried to use some leverage to get out of his hold without waking him, failing as she felt him moving and a slow grunt of annoyance coming from his throat.

She watched with red cheeks as his dark eyes opened, still bleary from sleep, look around in slight confusion and then focus on her.

"Naruko?" he asked as he rubbed one of his eyes with his free hand. He yawned then, and realized how close they were, and where his arm was. His eyes widened, as he looked at her for some sort of explanation.

"Yeah….looks like we fell asleep…eh eh" she grinned rubbing her hand on her neck in obvious discomfort , her eyes avoiding his.

"What…what time is it?" he asked as he noticed the sun was already up, and he figured it must be early in the morning.

"I don't know…I forgot my cell phone at home" she admitted, cursing at herself, it was just like her, to forget important things, such as her personal effects.

"Hn…It must be early, I don't hear anyone from downstairs, my parents usually wake everyday at seven o clock sharp" he murmured, stifling a yawn, and stretching his free arm.

He was still confused, in how they had gotten in that situation, he didn't remember much, he remembered they had played MarioKart and he had won again, then they had stayed there talking till late, they must have fallen asleep then.
