NARUTO:
Your eyes close tightly, as your mouth opens and you say out loud:
"Two."
You slowly open one of your eyes to see, no one other than...
Naruto.
---
"Alright!" You hear a yellow-haired teen scream eagerly. He quickly stands up and runs over to you. There's a big grin on his face, and the only thing you can do is smile back. He just has the happy nature to him. He slowly grabs your hands and raises them up to his chest. You feel a small streak of pink show on your face, and you're too nervous to stare into his eyes, as he's staring into yours.
"Sure you can handle him?" Ino asks with disappointment in her voice.
"It's YOUR game," you declare, glaring at her. You look back at Naruto, who's only inches away from your face. "I think I'll be fine." You release the grip from your hands, and nonchalantly walk into the dark room. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Ino walking towards the white sofa.
Naruto enters the closet after you do, and closes the door gently. The two of you are standing only inches, possibly centimeters away from each other. You can feel the warmth of his breath cause goosebumps to rise up on the back of your neck. Your left hand shakily reaches for Naruto's, and without thinking, the teen grabs your hand.
"Nervous about tomorrow?" He asks pleasantly, as he pulls you closer into him. You let go of your grasp with him, only to wrap your arms around his back.
"Yeah. A little," you reply, pushing him against a wall. "You're really warm, Naruto," you state, quickly changing subjects. "And you're awfully calm..."
Suddenly, Naruto brings an arm up, only to raise your chin, so you can see eye-to-eye. Immediately, your eyes dart in a different direction, and he notices. "Look at me," he says, sounding a bit rough.
You look into his eyes, and feel your face burning up. "S-S-Sorry, Naruto-kun. I'm just not used to staring into peoples' eyes." You lay your head into the crook of his neck, and deeply inhale the scent of sweat and body spray. "You smell really nice, too," you compliment him.
His hand begins to play with strands of your cream-colored hair, before he lifts your chin once more. Only this time, to bring his lips to yours. At first, the kiss is passionate, and you relax. It's refreshing to you, and all you feel like doing is...
You pull away from the kiss, and allow yourself to fall to the floor.
"Akari!" You hear Naruto scream quietly. "Are you-are you alright?"
You adjust yourself until your comfortable, and you glance into the boy's eyes. "Yeah. I didn't mean to fall down so dramatically. ...I'm sorry Naruto." You pull a strand of your hair behind your ear, and you look at the wooden door.
"Sorry?" He asks, confused. He grabs onto your shoulders, and gently shakes you. "What are you sorry for?"
You stare into his cerulean eyes, and still feel yourself blushing. "I don't want to hurt you."
"What do you mean?"
"Tomorrow...tomorrow, I'm leaving Naruto. I don't know when I'll be back. I didn't mean for this game to go on. Ino planned this whole thing. I just wanted to see my friends one last time before I left," you answered, before sucking in a large amount of air. "I like you. But...that's it. I only like you as a friend. I'm sorry, Naruto-kun." You feel tears p***k the back of your eyes, and the only thing that Naruto does, is kiss them away.
He pulls his lips away from your cheeks, and smiles lightly. "It's okay. This was only a child's game, right?"
You nod in agreement, but find yourself going closer to Naruto. "Hey, Naruto..."
"Time's up!"
"What?" He whispers quietly, lifting you up to your feet.
You suckle on his earlobe, before answering. "You're a pretty good kisser."
