Chapter 12 - Spending a Night with You
(Yue's POV)
Slowly I blink, eyes adjusted to the darkness surrounding me. The moon's full light plays across my covered legs and my naked hands.
How long have I been asleep?
I glance at the clock on the night table, 3:32 am.
That's funny, I don't remember getting into bed…I look across my bed, and nearly jump out of my skin. Once I realize its only Kakashi, my heart calms down and I sigh in relief.
Wait…Why is he in here?I'm about to get out of bed, when I notice a cup of tea sitting next to my clock. I smile.
Aww, he made me tea.
I pick it up, its kind of cold. He must have been in here for a while. I take a sip, the cold liquid rushes down my throat, rehydrating my parched mouth. It tastes so sweet! Like he added the sweetest flowers to it.
I set the cup down and look over at him. Leaning against the wall, legs laying out in front of him, arms lay across his midsection, head leaning on the wall.
Silver hair splayed everywhere, glowing in the moonlight. Mask less face eased in peace, no worries haunting his face, lips slightly parted in sleep, breath coming out in tiny puffs of hot air.
I smile to myself. He looks so gorgeous. Peaceful and tranquil in his sleep. Only if it could last forever.
"Yue."
My heart suddenly stops.
Oh, no! He's caught me!I sigh in relief once I realize that he was talking in his sleep.
He's dreaming of me
Wanting to find out what its about, I whisper, "Yes, Kakashi?" His brows furrow, and he grumbles, "Don't leave me alone, please."
I smile sadly, "I'm not going anywhere, Kakashi."
I pull the comforter off my bed, and sit on the floor. I cuddle up with Kakashi, covering both of us in my large blanket. And his arms immediately wrap around me, holding me close.
I blush furiously, but I do not dare to move, for fear of waking him.
His warmth beckons me closer until my head rests on his chest , my hand resting on his own over his torso. He's so warm, its lulling me back to sleep.
My eyelids grow heavy with sleep, and soon, I join him in the dream world.
(Kakashi's POV)
Oh, man! My aching back!
The early morning's rays are blinding me, hurting my Sharingan eye. I slowly open my eyes, they widen in confusion.
Where am I? This isn't the den…this looks like…I look to my side, confirming my fear.
Oh, shit! I sleep in Yue's room!Part of me is happy that she's by my side, and the other half is terrified that when she wakes up, she'll murder me!
I calm myself down. She's not the type to murder someone for something like that. She's sweet, understanding and loving. At times she can be stubborn, hot-headed and scary.
Geez, sounds kind of like Naruto! Well, what do you expect from his older sister?
I look at her more thoroughly.
Face eased in slumber, honey hair framing her pale and round face.
Then, I realize how close we actually are.
Our hands are entwined, there isn't any space in between us at all and our legs are tangled.
I sweat drop.
Oh, boy…(Yue's POV)
I stretch and yawn.
Yet another dreadful day.
I open my eyes, my stomach immediately sinks.
So it wasn't a dream. We really did sleep here.
I look over at Kakashi, head leaning against the wall, eyes closed.
I smirk and say, voice hoarse from sleep, "Stop pretending, Kakashi-kun, I know you're awake."
He slowly opens his eyes and smiles down at me, "Sleep well?" he asks, "This floor isn't very comfortable, its not good for the baby."
I smile, feeling my face get hot, "We're fine. Where are Awari and Naruto? Did he kick you out of the den?" His smile falters, "No, Naruto stayed over at a friend's last night. Awari is with Ten-Ten."
"Willingly or forced?"
"Forced." He said slowly, "You needed your sleep, and I needed to keep an eye on you. After you little spell yesterday…"
I frown and look at the ground.
That's right. The Earth country has finally moved.
"Yue-chan?"
My head snaps up, locking eyes with Kakashi. I bite my lip, and say, "We need to be more alert, now that the Earth country has arrived."
"Right. I guess I'll see you in the kitchen, then, Yue-chan?" he says, getting up and walking to the ajar door.
"Right."
I dunno why, but when Kakashi called me Yue-chan, my heart seemed to deflate or get a little heavier.
Why? He only called me by my name once, and in his sleep. Why is that any different? And, yet, why is he dreaming of me?
Its weird. He's dreaming of me and begging for me to not leave. Why?
I'm tempted to ask him about it, but its embarrassing, and he looks so happy making breakfast. I don't want to upset him or embarrass him. Oh, well. Another mystery to never know.
Was that mushy enough for you guys? Please give me your imput on the story so far
