Chapter Twenty-Eight;
-Shoto and Sasuke-
Shoto woke with her head pounding. God, why did she ever agree to drink? She always got the worst hang overs. As she slowly opened her eyes she came to see she was sleeping on the couch. With Sasuke Uchiha. She gently nudged him with her foot. He groaned, but slowly sat up holding his head.
"What time is it?" He muttered.
Shoto looked around for the time, "Ten-fifteen."
"Hn."
"What happened.. Er, between us?" She questioned awkwardly.
"I kissed you. That's about it."
"I see. We should probably make some coffee. If Evelynn wakes up, she'll be in a bad mood. Her hangovers are worse than mine." Shoto explained.
"Hn." Was her only reply. Ah, he wasn't a morning person, either.
They stumbled into the kitchen, and Shoto showed him how to work the coffee maker. Sasuke seemed to appreciate the device. After they got the coffee on Shoto started looking around for Tylenol or some Advil. Damn their headaches. Once she found them, she explained to Sasuke what they were. He happily swallowed two Tylenol. Shoto got herself a cup of coffee, took her own two Tylenol, and decided to make some toast for their upset stomachs. No butter.
"So, did you like it?" Sasuke asked after thanking her for the toast and coffee.
"Like what?" she asked in her smooth voice.
"The kiss."
She blinked and stared at him. "I don't know, I don't remember it."
"Hn. Would you like to try it again, then?"
Shoto blinked once more, and then slowly smiled a small smile.
"It can't hurt."
Sasuke then leaned over the table, and gently placed his lips on hers. After a moment Shoto kissed back. Yeah, it definitely didn't hurt.
-Sasori and Evelynn-
The first thing Evelynn noticed was her pounding head. The next thing she noticed was that she was very comfortable. Then she noticed the reason she was so comfortable was because Sasori had her back pulled against his chest. Then she noticed that they were both naked. Oh hell no.
"Wake up!" She hissed at Sasori, jabbing him in his side. He let out a soft growl.
"What?" He snapped, opening his eyes slightly.
"Let go of me."
"No." He pulled her tighter against him.
"Sasori!"
"Hm?" Suddenly, he rolled over and had her pinned under him.
"Get the fuck off me!" She snapped. Only to wince at the harshness of her own voice. Damn this headache.
"Hm, you have such a lovely vocabulary." Sasori muttered. He nuzzled her neck, and she blushed.
"What are you doing?"
"What we did last night." He murmured.
"I was drunk. You took advantage of me."
"Please, you enjoyed it."
"Sasori, ah!" She let out a soft cry as he nipped her ear softly.
"Just relax." He murmured again. She was finally right where he wanted her, and there was no way he was letting go.
Sighing softly, Evelynn hooked her legs around his waist. He pulled back and looked down at her. She looked up at him sleepily. He kissed her. She kissed back.
Time for round two.
-Deidara and Audrey-
Deidara shifted when he felt Audrey wake up. She let out a soft cry, and placed a hand on her head.
"I feel awful," she stated softly.
The bomber just nodded.
"You had a bit too much last night."
Audrey didn't get a chance to reply. She jumped from the bed, and ran to the bathroom. Deidara winced as he heard her retching, and then as she threw up. He got up and followed her. As she dry-heaved into the toilet he soothingly petted her hair, and whispered soft nothings in her ear. Never in his whole life did he imagine he'd be comforting a hung-over woman.
"I'm going to go get you something to eat. Okay, hm?"
Audrey just nodded.
As Deidara entered the kitchen he saw Sasuke and Shoto sitting at the table. They looked relatively pleased with themselves. He didn't bother to find out why.
"Audrey's throwing up, yeah. Help." He looked desperately at Shoto.
The black haired woman just nodded, and went about making toast. She handed him some water and two Tylenol, telling him to take them to Audrey, and she would bring the toast when it was finished.
Deidara came back downstairs to find Audrey curled up in their bed. He sighed and held out the water and pills to her.
"Th-thank you." She muttered. She quickly took the pills and drained the glass of water. Then, she laid back down and curled up. She'd looked absolutely miserable. Deidara's heart clenched slightly, and he sat down on the bed, pulling the brunette into his arms.
She curled up in his lap, and laid her head on his shoulder. He kept one arm around her waist, and used his other hand to stroke her hair.
"What happened last night?" Audrey asked softly. Deidara froze for a moment. He couldn't tell her how she acted. She'd be mortified.
"Ah, nothing, hm." He said quickly. "You just sang with the music. No offense, but you're not the best singer, hm." He teased gently.
Audrey let out a small laugh. Soon Shoto came down with Audrey's toast. After gulping it down she laid down again.
"Deidara," she muttered sleepily.
"Hm?"
"Thank you."
In that moment, Deidara decided he was in love.
-Time skip/summary!-
Gina, Itachi, and Adrian came home that afternoon. Evelynn and Sasori had finally come down, and Evelynn had a whole pot of coffee gone in an hour. As soon as he came in the door Adrian rushed to Evelynn and Sasori, and told them all about what he had done while he was out. Both listened, smiled, and nodded as he told his story. Gina looked rather pale, so she went to take a nap. Sasuke and Itachi took to the living, and Sasuke revealed to Itachi his crush on Shoto. Itachi was fairly pleased.
Audrey woke up a little after Gina and Itachi got home. She was back to her usual happy self. About an hour after they got back Adrian had Sasori take him outside to play. This gave Shoto the chance to talk to Evelynn about Sasuke. Evelynn encouraged her to go for it.
After all, this whole thing had been nothing but one romance after another. How cliche, right?
