The next day.
After almost sleepless night spent mostly in front of the laptop and then a bit in bed, Orochimaru woke up. He rubbed his eyes, stroked his hair being completely messy and gave a fast look at his desk. There was breakfast - mug with fresh made tea, eggs and some pieces of bread. Everything in order, like every morning. Seems like Kabuto did not forget about him after all.
He came closer to desk, however did not feel hungry at all. Something bothered him. Something squeezed his stomach and didn't let focus on his duties. Was that she? It was another day withourt her. No running her around on hideout's hallway trying to catch Kabuto making her mad. No her coming to his bedroom nor office and disturbing him at work. She did that. He couldn't focus on his work, cause she was always there talking to him, messing his papers, flirting with him and finally taking him back to bed with her. Now when he got a peace again it was killing him. He waited for hearing her laugh, feeling her fingers trying to tickle him or messing his hair. It hurts him. He really tried to be strong and work normally, but after few minutes was disturbed again but his vulnerable mind and thoughts about her and all those timethey spent together. Is she coming back? What if she doesn't? Orochimaru sat behind his desk and switched on his laptop. There was no mail from her. He sighed and funny smirk came on his mouth - again he was away with his own thoughts in moment they were together - that was all he had by now to make himself a bit happier.
