2.9.
Hinata fed Storm that morning. "You're such a good kitty, Storm." She stroked his back. "Ah, Storm..." He wouldn't show it like a dog would be she knew he loved when called a kitten.
The Hyuuga stood and went to wash her hands and fix breakfast. Hinata hummed lightly and took out two eggs. When she heard groaning, a smile came to her face and she darted into the back room.
Sasuke was pushing himself up. "Shit..." He yawned.
Hinata stood at the doorway like a child that ate way too much candy. "Sasuke...how do you feel?"
He looked over and shrugged. "Rested-" before he could add on anything she jumped on the bed. Sasuke braced himself when she hugged him. "What? What happened?"
"You fainted and slept for two days!"
"What? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Hinata brushed his hair away. "I did. I made sure you took a shower and ate... Temari told me that you do this often. She said that you overwork yourself and end up sleeping it off."
Sasuke closed his eyes again but just exhaled. "Thanks for, you know, taking care of me."
"Well, I l-love you so..." She suddenly found his fingers interesting. Sasuke pulled her to him but Hinata mushed his face away. "You need to brush your teeth first."
"And you didn't brush them for me?"
Hinata smiled. "I'm your girlfriend not servant-" she squealed when the man tackled or rather placed on his body weight on her. "Sa-Sasuke!"
"Get used to this smell, Princess." He made sure to open his mouth. Hinata mushed his face away - again. Sasuke just opted to kiss her neck.
Hinata squirmed under him. "Eww!" She laughed. Sasuke looked down at her. "You're d-disgusting..." She covered his mouth with her hand.
He licked that too.

After Sasuke took his shower and cleaned up completely, he padded into the kitchen shirtless. Hinata was still cooking. She pulled what smelt like biscuits out the oven. Sasuke wrapped sneaky arms around her. Being the clumsy woman she was, her hand landed on the hot pan. "Y-you scared me," she cried and placed her burning index and middle finger in her mouth.
"My bad," he brought unapologetic lips to her neck. He remembered how she tried playing off her reaction to this with laughter. Hinata just decided to laugh again until he gently used his teeth.
He heard her voice shake. "S-Sa-Sasuke...I can't focus." She took his wandering hands.
"Is that really it?" He whispered in her ear. Hinata body froze when he bit her ear lobe.
"Mmhm... I'm trying to c-cook breakfast." She let his hands go and placed her hands on the counter. One of Sasuke's hands snaked under her shirt while the other one found going south more entertaining.
"Well, cook then, Princess."
"Uh..."
"Princess, Prin- look, Hyuuga," he snapped his finger.
Hinata looked over at a very confused, very clothed Uchiha. "H-Huh!?" She almost dropped the pancake mix.
"Were you daydreaming?" He asked.
"W-what? No? I don't even daydream. I, um..." She put the bowl down. "I was just thinking."
"About what?" He asked calmly against her gibberish.
Her face was alright red from being caught. "C-cooking."
"You were thinking about cooking while cooking?"
She nodded. "I'm f-focused..." Her eyes widened and went back to mixing the batter. "Focus!"
Sasuke raised a brow and decided to drop the conversation. "Don't forget the biscuits."
"What?" She squealed.
"I smell biscuits. Don't forget them." He explained. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!"
"You're jumpy. You weren't just jumpy. No," he waved it off. "I'm rested and relaxed. You're just crazy, I've accepted that."
Hinata nodded weakly. "I'm crazy."
Sasuke stood and walked in the kitchen. Hinata watched him closely from the corner of her eye. He grabbed a mug and sat it on the counter. He came up behind her to open the cabinet.
"What?" He asked, reaching over her head.
"Nothing!" She said as he got the coffee down.
Sasuke just shrugged her off. "You're a horrible liar. I'm not even interested in why you're freaking out but," he turned to her. "I am finding pleasure in you freaking out so... What's really going on?"
Hinata turned to take out the biscuits and carefully moved them out the way. "I'm j-just excited that you're finally up."
"Me too, I really believe I've slept too long." He noticed she was gripping the fabric of her shirt for dear life. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Sasuke walked up to her and for some reason, Hinata walked out the kitchen. "I just-" she paused when he grabbed her from behind. He brought her back into the kitchen and sat the short woman on the counter.
"Let me see."
"S-see what?"
Sasuke placed either hand on the counter beside her, trapping her there. "Whatever you're hiding."
"I'm not h-hiding anything."
"Then let me see," he tapped her side. Hinata didn't know exactly what that would prove but she sat up straight and pulled the side of her shirt up. Bare skin. "I thought you got a tattoo without me."
"No!" Hinata laughed and took his shoulders. "You w-want to get tattoos together?"
"No," he replied and took her waist. "But if you did want one, unlike last time, I want to be awake for it."
"Or p-piercings?" She looked away momentarily then back at him.
He lifted her shirt up at her navel. Hinata grabbed his hands. He looked up with narrowed eyes. "What did you get done?"
"Nothing!"
"You're lying."
"I'm not!" She held his hands.
Sasuke held her eyes. "Temari is persuasive and I'm sure Gaara didn't hesitate to your first piercer."
Hinata knew she was making herself look guilty but she couldn't help it! He was doing this! She was starting to believe it. Hell, had she gotten anything pierced? "F-fine."
"I knew it."
Hinata unbuttoned her blouse from the top. Sasuke was focused as hell. Hinata didn't know if it worried her that he was not interested in her body over some hunch that she had gotten something pierced or not? She swallowed and it slide off her shoulders.
"Are we interrupting something?" Temari and Gaara stood at the door.
Hinata covered herself and Sasuke looked at them darkly. "Yes, actually you are."
Temari rolled her eyes. "Well, Hinata invited us for breakfast and gave us the key."
Onyx and teal clashed. "Have you pierced her?"
"You'd know if I had." Gaara said.
Sasuke closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm becoming paranoid."
"Right?" Temari agreed. "That little bunny has me checking every corner of the parlor now."
Hinata finished buttoning her shirt. Sasuke wasn't concerned if his friends seeing her bra but he was prepared to fight over a piercing. She slid off the counter. "Father was right," she grumbled. She would never find a normal boyfriend.
::
After breakfast was served and the Sabaku siblings left. Sasuke helped clean up. He paused. Hinata looked over her shoulder then turned to him. His eyes lifted from her chest to eyes. "Wait, so you were going to show me your-"
"You w-were so concerned!" She covered her face.
Sasuke smirked and continued sweeping when Hinata splashed water on him. "Dirty water?" He hissed.
"Clean water, I just-" she gasped when he brushed her pants with the broom. "Sasuke!"
"Don't be childish," he pointed. It was too late. She had took head of the faucet off and aimed it at him. "Hinata, I swear. This is not how you want-" he was sprayed in the face with ice cold water.
She laughed almost too hard until he made his way to her. They fought over it and course Sasuke won. Hinata screamed when he sprayed her on the head. Hinata squeezed the dish soap on him.
By the end of their fight, they were both sitting on the floor soaked in soapy water. Hinata fell too many times. Sasuke got soap in both eyes. It was a mess. "The kitchen is destroyed." Hinata crawled to her boyfriend.
Sasuke thumped her in the forehead. "You started it."
Hinata leaned to kiss him but gagged at the taste of soap. "Let's take a shower..."
"You say let's as if we'll be together."
The Hyuuga stood with a taunting smile. "I k-know..." She managed to get out before slipping again.
"You say that but I'm not getting in the shower with clothes on."
::
Sasuke grumbled and stepped into the shower. He had to do so much digging to find his Swim Trunks. Hinata was unfortunate considering she had a one-piece...so he had to find a second pair of trunks. She wore a sports bra. When he turned on the water, they stood sideways to the shower head.
"I could hose you down outside," Sasuke suggested.
Hinata tried tightening the shorts on her. "Humph."
Sasuke took his shower head off and narrowed the pressure. Hinata squealed as hot water was shot through her back and into her soul. "Too much?"
"Yes!" She almost fell against the glass door.
"My bad," he mumbled and gathered a soapy wash cloth. They stood in silence for a while. Sasuke was trying his best to be gentle against her skin. Hinata had said something about having sensitive skin. The first night she stayed over before moving in, she forgot to bring clothes so Sasuke gave her some pajamas and she used his soap.
Her skin broke out really bad. The poor thing was scratching in her sleep. Sasuke woke her up to take her to the hospital. After that he changed all his soaps to sensitive skin products.
"...Sasuke-kun? Am I clean n-now?"
"Huh?" He blinked and noticed she didn't smell of dish soap. "Oh yeah..."
"What were you thinking about?" He didn't reply and she didn't pry. Hinata looked at her bare feet watching the last bit of suds running between her toes. She took a deep breath and stepped back against his back.
"Be careful," he warned. "You're prone to falling."
"I'm not that cl-clumsy," she stuttered when his arms around her waist. "Sas-" he kissed her neck but paused abruptly. "W-what?" She felt him grin against her skin. It was an evil kind of grin too. "Sasu-ah!"
He bit lightly at her neck. Hinata honestly almost fell. "What?" He asked innocently.
She covered her face. This was her damn daydream but way more dangerous. "N-nothing but...did you-"
"Do what?" He teased.
It was that moment when the water went from hot to cold. Hinata turned the knob off and shook her head. "We...we're g-going to catch a-" she didn't finish. The Hyuuga almost fell out the shower again. Sasuke watched her leave.
Sasuke turned back on the cold water. He'd need it.
