We don't own Ghost Hunt!

Mai was in crisis. Should she retrieve the towel and go after him to tell him what had happened and risk getting the full frontal view or should she just leave it and let Naru deal with his nudity? 'M-maybe he'll just come back and get it while I go and wash his clothes...' The brunette thought nervously. She immediately exited the kitchen to go find the laundry basket. She went to the bathroom to search for it. It wasn't in there. That meant it had to be in the bedroom...where Naru most likely was...

Mai tried to hold back a groan. If she went in there then she'd just be a blushing mess! What else was she supposed to do though? She had to go get the dirty clothes in order to wash and dry them and stop Naru from strutting around starkers. Taking a deep, calming breath, Mai decided to just knock on Naru's door and tell him to give her the clothes. 'Calm down, Mai! Everything is fine...' She told herself. 'Most likely he's already covered himself up anyway. There is no way he would still be...' The door swung open to reveal a still nude Naru, only this time she got the full view. '...naked' She finished her thought lamely. Eyes widened and a mouth gaped open from one of the two. I think you know which one it would be also.

"Is there a reason you disturbed me or did you just want to stand there doing fish impressions?" Naru asked. Briefly closing her eyes at first, Mai averted her gaze to everything in the room except Naru.

"Your clothes—I can't find them." She swallowed.

"Oh, well the laundry basket's in here." Naru replied, pointing to it. Giving a small nod, Mai crept into the room avoiding Naru as much as possible. How is he okay with just standing completely naked?! He's either extremely confident or he has no shame. Mai quickly got his clothes out of the laundry basket that was in the corner of the bedroom.

"Mai, is something wrong?" Naru asked as she whizzed back past him and to the door. Mai hesitated, her cheeks in a full-on blush. "Mai?" He prompted before letting out a sigh. "Are you really that uncomfortable with my being nude? I'd have thought you were used to what I have seeing as you were me for a while and all and you obviously had to have seen me...er...you in a state of undress."

"I know that! But it's...different...kind of..."

"How so?" He questioned. Mai pressed her lips together in embarrassment. "Mai?" He probed.

"I-I don't know it just is... How would you feel if I did it?" Mai asked, half-curiously and half-dreading the answer. Naru seemed to contemplate her words for a few moments.

"You're right, I would probably find it very difficult to be around you if you were unclothed as it would be, well at least for me, too much of a temptation." He answered. "However I would like to point out I don't seem to have anything with which to cover myself."

"I'll um...hurry and go wash them then." Mai assured after snapping out of her semi-shocked state at the first part of what Naru had said. Naru just nodded and this time allowed her to leave.

Sticking to what she said Mai immediately went and washed Naru's clothes. She decided to wash hers also, knowing she was running out of the ones she brought with her to Naru's apartment. She hoped they dried quickly so Naru could finally cover himself up. Although it wouldn't really make a difference now. She would forever have his image engraved into her mind. In full glorious detail. She doubted even something that wiped memories could erase that sight. It was about half an hour later—because she might have kinda forgotten since she was watching TV while waiting—before Mai went back to check the clothes. She then discovered, to her horror, she had forgotten to even switch the washing machine on.

"No...no, no, no!" She denied. She felt like bashing her head on the counter a few times for her stupidity. Naru was going to kill her...If not physically then by making her blush with his nakedness so much that her head exploded. And now she had to go tell him the clothes weren't going to be done for a while longer since he was waiting for them. Great.

She hesitantly knocked on the bedroom door, bracing herself for the view she was about to get from behind it. Naru opened the door to reveal himself draped elaborately with a bed sheet. Mai almost burst out laughing at the sight.

"What the heck is that?" She asked as she tried to contain herself.

"I have fashioned myself a toga." He stated. "Now is there something you wanted or did you just come to mock me?"

"Um...well, I kinda, sorta, maybe forgot to...put the washing machine on..." She reluctantly informed.

"I see."

"I'm sorry." Mai quickly apologized. "I don't know why I forgot to put it on. I usually never forget things like that, meaning things around the house. Okay, so maybe one time when I almost caught the oven on fire. I had forgotten something was cooking and then I started smelling smoke while I was watching TV. Hey, wait, I was watching TV this time too! Maybe I shouldn't do that while I'm doing house work... Although this time I started watching TV after I put the clothes in the..." Mai rambled and rambled, only to be cut off by her boyfriend.

"Mai stop rambling." He ordered. "You forgot to switch the machine on, have you done it now?" He asked. Mai thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Well then, even though your idiocy has delayed my clothes they will be clean and ready to wear soon I'm guessing so therefore you came to tell me that they will just be a while longer than you originally thought. It was good of you to inform me of this development and you may go now." Mai hastily nodded.

She was halfway to the door when she paused. 'Wait a second, we're not even at the office so who does he think he is ordering me around?!' She swiftly turned back around. A frown was firmly in place on her features as she did so. Naru didn't see this though as his back was already turned towards her. This angered her even more. Couldn't he have waited until she left the room? Unless he thought she already had.

Mai narrowed her eyes, debating on whether to yell at him or not. He definitely deserved a lecture on how to treat her now they were dating...at least outside of the office. Although this is all new to Naru—to the both of them—so he has to gradually learn. Hmm, perhaps she would give him a softer more toned down telling off then. He did need to know after all that he had made her unhappy.

Nodding to herself in approval, Mai made her way back to him. She politely cleared her throat to gain his attention. Which made Naru turn around with a brow lifted.

"I thought you'd gone." He stated. Mai nodded, knowing he'd say that, as she took a few more steps towards him. She let out a sigh.

"Naru, you shouldn't treat me like you do at the office." She said. "What I mean is here I am your girlfriend so you shouldn't order me around or dismiss me like you do when we are at work, you understand?" She bit her lip. She just hoped Naru wouldn't get mad or anything. He looked puzzled, as though he honestly didn't understand what she was saying at all. "Do you understand?" She asked, a small amount of concern filling her. Naru shook his head mutely. "Hmm..." Mai mused trying to figure out how to say her words next.

Naru let out a sigh and sat himself on the edge of the bed. He couldn't believe he'd messed it up with Mai again.

Mai stared at him for a moment before deciding to sit with him. "It's just that...you were speaking to me like we were at work... But we're not, and technically you're not my employer at the moment either." Mai said softly, fumbling with the hem of her shirt. "So...could you not boss me around when we're not at the office or on a case?"

"But I didn't think I was..." Naru mumbled. Mai smiled at him.

"I know Naru, but you were and it made me unhappy as I felt more like your servant than your girlfriend." Naru turned to Mai with an apologetic look. She gently stroked his face with one hand and kissed him. When they pulled apart, Mai rested her forehead against his. She felt glad that she had pointed out that he had made her unhappy to him as she knew it was a learning curve for both of them. Mai pecked him on the lips before giving a small chuckle when her stomach growled. "And we still haven't eaten breakfast..." Naru smiled softly before getting up and making sure his makeshift toga was in place so Mai wouldn't get embarrassed again. He held out a hand for Mai to take. She gladly took it and they went to the kitchen together hand in hand.

Mai quickly began to prepare the food when they entered the kitchen and had reluctantly let go of each other. They both sat down at the table to eat. Mai had made more tea since she spilled it all on Naru earlier. This time she made sure to go careful with it. She would just have died from embarrassment if she dumped it all over the place again. Especially as it would mean Naru had to strip again. After they finished eating Mai checked on the clothes again. They were still not quite ready yet. They needed to dry a bit more.

"Enjoying feeling up my underwear are you?" Naru smirked. Mai jumped and twirled around in surprise.

"What? No, I was just seeing if they were dry yet." She replied. The look on Naru's handsome face said he didn't believe her though. A blush started to creep onto Mai's cheeks. "I-It's true!" Naru said nothing. "Jerk..." Mai mumbled, closing the door to the dryer after she threw the piece of clothing back into it.

"So you keep reminding me." Naru shrugged. Mai turned back around, her lips pressed together. Naru was mentally hitting himself, he seemed to have done it again. "Despite what I always say...you're not really a jerk, Naru." Mai corrected him.

"Then why say it?" He asked.

"Reflex." Mai answered thoughtfully. "Although I'm not saying you don't act like a jerk sometimes." Naru just let out a sigh. Didn't she know she just contradicted herself?

He hoped his clothes would be dry soon, his toga was rather breezy, not as breezy as Mai's skirts but almost the same. He usually preferred being fully covered on a part of his body or not being covered at all. It was why he wore either sweats, pyjamas or nothing in bed and was always fully clothed the rest of the time. He hated feeling breezes on parts that were supposed to look covered. Although since Mai is going to be living with him now, and seeing as she feels uncomfortable with him being nude, he guessed he wasn't going to be wearing nothing in bed anymore. Maybe one day though...

Until that time he would wear sweats during the summer as he had been doing. Speaking of living with him...

"When should we go empty your apartment?" He asked. Mai blinked, processing his words.

"Oh, um...any time would be fine with me. If I'm going to completely move in with you, then I need to speak with my landlord about my apartment though." She answered.

"Well how about we go as soon as my clothes are dry?" He suggested. Mai nodded in agreement.

"Alright, sounds good to me!" She smiled happily.

"Are you going to feel my underwear up again then?" Naru questioned cheekily. Mai narrowed her eyes and playfully glared at him. Naru just grinned at her.

"Come on, Narcissist." She grinned back, dragging him out the room.

"Where are we going?" He asked in confusion.

"If you want to stand there waiting for your clothes to dry then go ahead." She shrugged. She sure wasn't going to do that. A look of understanding crept into his eyes before he swept Mai up in his arms.
