-------------- Chapter 2A: Bottle of Honey...

So, Akari and Sasuke ended up not having sex. How, you ask? Who knows. The question was absolutely blowing Sasuke's mind. In his sleep, at least.

They were so close to it! Sasuke's hand had been resting on her back- beneath her shirt, he never quite got it off- when Akari paused in their kiss, resting her forehead against his, and... just held him.

And he was extremely satisfied with that.

Sure, he was glad they didn't need sex to sustain their relationship, but Sasuke supposed that he felt that having sex was a big step in building their relationship's foundation.

Either that or marriage.

And marriage seemed a lot safer.

Sasuke stowed that thought away for later contemplation as he slowly rose into consciousness. And from the feel of Akari's elbows on his chest, she was already awake.

His conscious level rose to its peak and the first thing he did was inhale deeply and wrap an arm around Akari, which were always the first things he did every morning he could.

But Sasuke paused when the scent he inhaled was... awfully sweet. His eyes opened abruptly, and the first thing they landed on was Akari's smiling face and... a bottle of honey clutched in her hand.

'What the hell?' Sasuke stared at her incredulously as she licked some honey off her finger and smiled at him sweetly.

"Hey, babe." She said as she snapped the cap on the bottle closed and laid her head down on his chest.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her as he closed his eyes and wondered how in the world she could stand so much sweet sugar so early in the morning...- what time was it, anyway?

He opened his eyes again and glanced at the alarm clock beside his bed, then grunted in a distressed sort of way and just held Akari closer. It was after noon. People were going to be asking questions once they got out of the house.

And Ino and Sakura...-

'Oh, man...' He opened his eyes again to find that she had immediately reopened the bottle and was at it again.

Vaguely, Sasuke marveled at how she could have even slipped out of the bed, much less for over five seconds, to get the honey out of the kitchen without him noticing.

While staring at Akari, he reflected on the trouble today that she would bring him with her actions last night.

He rubbed his face wearily with one hand and then placed his arm behind his head, satisfied with just watching her take delight in her... honey.

He frowned slightly at the sweet substance, before giving up on attempting to tell Akari to put the bottle away.

Sighing, he contemplated whether or not he really wanted to get out of bed or not, then decided against it and closed his eyes again.

But he snapped them open again as he jumped slightly at the feel of honey dropping onto his stomach.

And it felt awfullywarm... Realization suddenly dawned on Sasuke.

'...she heated the goddamn bottle...' It seemed the fire from last night hadn't quite died out yet.

He saw Akari attempt to hide a grin as she let out a small, "Sorry," and he jumped again as her finger trailed along his abs, cleaning up the honey and she stuck her finger in her mouth, now not attempting to hide her mischievous grin from him.

He stared at her in disbelief as she prolonged licking the honey of her finger, winking at Sasuke in the process.

He could still feel the heat from the liquid substance and he regretted thinking that it felt like Akari's warm breath on his skin, or her lips on his neck-
