I don't own Naruto.

Morningish

Ino's eyelids were half-closed against the morning sun. It was mid-afternoon and she was running more than a few hours late to work her shift at the hospital. An arm tightened around her. The blond heard a yawn escape his lips.

"Do you need me to offer an excuse for being late, Ino?"

She rolled her eyes, "No Kakashi. I'd rather not get yelled at for the horrible reasons you make up for being late."

"Hmmm," He nuzzled his uncovered face into her neck. "Well then, seeing how you and I are both late for our engagements why not skip it all together and stay in bed?"

She smirked at him, "Fine, but you better not try anything funny."

Kakashi maneuvered Ino under him and laughed, "Funny isn't the word for it."
