Unfortunately Yours (SasuNaru) ✔

Chapter 18: Bickering Again

I woke up the next morning in Sasuke's arms. He had me in a warm embrace as I slept on top of his chest. His head rested on top of mine, and the sounds of his light snores echoed in my ear. I smiled happily to myself as I dug my face deeper into his chest. I'm happy...I'm very happy...

suddenly, the weight from his arm began so shift and his snores disappeared. He slowly released the embrace as he shifted his body to fix his position. I quickly removed myself from his chest, sat up, and smiled towards the one I love.

"Mornin'!"

His usual frown slowly turned into a soft smile and his hands slowly went to touch my cheek. "Your smile's back..." he whispered while gazing at me with loving eyes.

Butterflies fluttered through my stomach as my cheeks warmed up. "Ye-yeah-! I mean--I'm happy now, ya know...?" I replied nervously while staring at the ground and scratching my head.

He stood up from the couch with a chuckle before making his way to the kitchen to start on breakfast. "What do you want to eat?" He asked as he set up the stove and took out tools to cook.

"How about some ram-"

"No."

"But you asked me-!"

"I'm not going to keep making you ramen, idiot!"

"Huh?! Then don't ask me what I want to eat!"

We began to bicker again as always until he began to laugh.

"Wh-what's so funny?!" I asked feeling embarrassed.

"...No matter what may happen, you're always yourself...You never try to act like someone you're not...That's why I lo-" He then stopped midway through his sentence as he looked at the ground.

My jaw dropped in disbelief from what he almost said. Was he about to say he loved me? Why did he stop?!

"Idiot, why're you looking at me like that?" He asked as he crossed his arms.

"You were about to say-!"

"That you're an idiot?" he asked, interrupting me.

"No, stupid! You were about to say you lov-!"

He cleared his throat loudly, interrupting me again. "Sorry, I couldn't hear you."

I frowned in annoyance at his childish behavior. "I was saying that you were about to say you loved-" Before I could finish again, Sasuke had purposely dropped the pan on the floor to interrupt me. 

"What was that?" he asked with an attitude and a satisfied smirk.

I clicked my tongue in frustration, giving up on calling him out. "Ugh! You're such a jerk!" I yelled as I sank into the couch and quickly laid down across it. I closed my eyes in frustration, sighing as loud as I could to bother Sasuke. Stupid Sasuke...why didn't he say he loved me...?

I then began to groan loudly, annoying him as revenge. 

"Shut up before I make you eat vegetables for breakfast."

"Tch." I pouted angrily, yelling out: "I hate you Sasuke!"

I heard him chuckle as the sound of sizzling bacon hit the pan. "Whatever you say, Naruko."

I blushed at the tone of his voice and dug my head into the sofa. Stupid jerk...

"I'm heading out!" I shouted as I placed my sandals on.

Sasuke quickly removed his apron and began to make his way to meet me at the door. "Where are you going?"

"Out," I replied blandly as I fixed my hair before opening the door.
