"What's on your mind?" His voice was heavy with sleep. She smiled softly, her eyes flickering over to his form.
"Nothing.." She was tired, but her body was restless.
"Doesn't seem like 'nothing'." He mused softly, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck. He enjoyed her scent greatly – how she always smelled sweet and sultry. Her pink hair tickled his face a little and she could feel him smile against her neck.
"I should get going before people start waking up." She finally said, his posture stiffening for a moment.
"No.." He murmured.
Sakura pulled away and cocked an eyebrow, "No? What do you mean 'no'?" Her voice held a hint of amusement.
"Stay. I don't care if they see you. If they know.."
"Hyuuga..." Her voice held a warning.
"I don't care, Haruno.. What does it matter?.. It doesn't anymore. My clan owes you more than you know. After what you did for Hinata. After what you did for me..."
The hours of her slaving over the two cousins trying to keep them from death as they appeared on her table, knocking on death's door. They had been on a recon mission that was a trap and the two Hyuuga were the only part of the four man team to make it back, albeit barely.
It took several hours to get them stabilized and about a few days of constant monitoring, and then a few months of rehabilitation – Sakura had the cousins as good as new...
And that was how she found herself as she was, laying with a smitten Hyuuga Neji who was no longer afraid to admit he had fallen for the pink haired medic.
"I don't know what we are.. but I want to figure it out.. And I don't want to hide it.." Neji stared Sakura in the eyes – light lavender clashing with emerald.
Finally, with a small smile, Sakura nodded, "Fine... but I'm taking a shower and getting dressed.. Rather not have the whole clan see me in a more inappropriate way than they probably already will." She mused, kissing him softly before heading into the bathroom..
Looking after her, Neji smiled.
He was definitely in love.
