"Alright, thanks for taking me home." Mai leaned over and gave her boyfriend a peck on the cheek.

Naru raised an eyebrow. "Is that all i get?"

With a small amused smile, Mai gave him an innocent kiss on his lips. "There. Better?" She asked.

He glared slightly. "Not even close."

The brunette sighed with feign frustration. "Then what do you want?"

"Are you that eager to send me away that you can't figure it out?"

Mai frowned a bit. "You want tea, don't you?"

Naru smirked, "That would be nice" he stated.

"Of course it is." Mai rolled her eyes, getting out of his car.

She grumbled slightly when she heard Naru get out too.

It was one thing to always make him tea at the office, but to do it in her own home also?

This guy really was irritating.

As she entered the building she felt Naru right behind her.

Ignoring his presence she made her way up to her apartment.

Once they walked into it, she immediately went into her kitchen.

Naru watched her walk off smiling slightly at her quiet complaints.

It's amusing how she goes to make him tea without a fight even though they weren't at the office.

Sitting down he waited for Mai to come back with the tea.

He could hear her movements in the kitchen.

They were more familiar then he'd like to admit.

"Here you go." Mai's voice suddenly came from beside him.

He turned to her. Carefully, he took the tea from her hands.

Once he did, Mai plopped down beside him with a sigh.

"You really couldn't survive without tea" she stated teasingly.

"Yes, I could." He insisted before smirking at her. "It's you I couldn't survive without."

Mai felt her cheeks heat up. "Wh-what are you..?" she stuttered.

He's been saying all sweet things today... Was he trying to embarrass her to death?!

Naru's smirk just widened.

He took a sip of his tea as if he never said anything.

It always made Mai more flustered when he did this.

She was just so easy to rile.

"Don't ignore me now!" He heard her exclaim.

He smirked, "Who's ignoring you?"

"Well, you're the only other person here." Mai deadpanned.

"Maybe if you finished your sentences around me i could reply" he quipped.

Mai glared at him.

Stupid narcissistic jerk!

Smiling to himself, Naru leaned over and wrapped an arm around his girlfriend.

"You realise that your glare isn't affecting me right? You just look like an angry kitten" he teased.

"JERK!" Mai decided to turn away from him and then pout.

Naru placed his tea on the coffee table.

Hasn't she learned by now what happens when she does that?

"Mai" he called.

"What?" Mai grumbled without looking at him.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked.

"Not looking at you..." Mai mumbled simply.

Naru chuckled. "Well I can't have that."

"What's that supposed to me—" However the brunette was cut off by her boyfriend turning her head toward him and kissing her softly on the lips.

It only took a few moments before she completely melted into the kiss.

She let out a content sigh as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Naru pulled away, his hand caressing her cheek.

Mai bit her lip while he watched her intensely.

Finally he broke the silence. "You know, i'm beginning to think you're pouting on purpose" he teased.

Mai blushed. "I am not, you jerk."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" She insisted.

Naru leaned closer. "Are you really sure?"

Mai narrowed her eyes at him. "Yes. Naru." She said slowly.

"Really sure?" he asked once more, leaning closer.

"Don't try to sneak a kiss. If you're going to kiss me then do it." Mai grinned slightly, knowing what he was doing.

He smirked. "You want me to kiss you? I believe that means you were lying."

"I didn't say that. I said (you) wanted to kiss (me)." She corrected.

His smirk widened. "You don't want me to kiss you then?" he asked.

Mai pressed her lips together. "Drink your tea."

"I will once you answer my question" he pressed with a slight grin.

"It's my house, I can kick you out." Mai stuck her tongue out at him.

Naru faked a hurt look. "You would kick me out?"

"Shouldn't I?" Mai teased, giving him a slow kiss on his cheek.

Naru smirked, "No you shouldn't" he commented placing his hand on her chin.

"And why not?" Mai whispered.

Instead of answering he brought their lips together once again.

Not that Mai really cared.

She was too busy revelling in the feeling of being like this with him.

She couldn't be tired of it even if she tried.

Naru pulled away slightly but didn't remove his hand.

He watched Mai slowly open her eyes.

For a second she seemed content before she grew slightly frustrated.

"What?" Naru couldn't help but ask in amusement.

"Nothing" she grumbled, a blush spreading over her cheeks.

Naru smirked. Just by her reaction he knew what was wrong.

"Really?" He asked with a knowing look.

He leaned forward and gave her a small kiss. "Because I think you want me to keep kissing you."

Mai huffed. "I do not" she denied.

"I can tell you're not telling the truth." Naru smirked.

The brunette looked away.

Naru decided to explain it to her anyways. "Whether you realize it or not, every time I pull away you go forward trying to get me to stop."

Mai could feel her face on fire.

She wasn't doing that, was she?!

Unconsciously, she tried to hide herself out of embarrassment.

She brought her knees up to her chest and tried to hide her face in her arms.

"Mai, why are you doing that?" Naru asked his tone gentler than usual.

"Because!" Mai exclaimed, though it was muffled.

She heard Naru sigh and mutter something incoherent under his breath.

She wanted to ask him what he said—her curiosity getting the best of her—but she knew her face was still bright red.

Deciding a small peek couldn't hurt, she turned her head slightly.

However she saw that her boyfriend's head was tilted down and his hair was covering his eyes again.

She glared in frustration.

Again with that stupid fringe of his!

It was always getting in the way!

"Ugh, Naru just get a haircut already!" Mai unintentionally yelled out.

Out of shock, Naru looked up at her.

"What...?" He asked in confusion.

Mai blushed bright red and quickly turned back into her arms. "N-n-nothing" she stuttered, her voice slightly muffled.

"No, what are you talking about?" Naru demanded, trying to peel her arms away from around her legs.

Mai clutched herself harder. "I said it was nothing. I didn't say anything."

"Seeing as how you suddenly yelled at me, I know you did, in fact, say something, Mai." Naru resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Just forget it" she stated.

"You know I'm not until you tell me."

Mai sighed. "Why not" she grumbled, "It's not important."

"I'll be the judge of that." Naru stated.

The brunette mumbled something under her breath.

Naru leaned closer to her. "What?"

Feeling that she was calmer she turned to give him an exasperated look. "I said that I told you to cut your hair" she mumbled.

Naru's eyes looked up and he touched his bangs. "Why?" He asked his girlfriend.

His girlfriend looked away with red cheeks. "It's really stupid."

Naru just raised a brow, silently telling her to continue.

"It'sbecauseican'tseeyoureyes" she rushed out in one breath.

Naru took a few moments to try to understand what she said.

"...Because you can't see my eyes?" he repeated.

Eyes adverted away from him, Mai gave a shy nod.

Naru couldn't help but chuckle.

"May I ask why that is so important?" Naru asked, trying not to smile and to keep the amusement out of his voice.

Mai huffed. "No you may not ask."

This time Naru did smirk. "Too bad, you have to tell me."

"But what if i don't want to tell you?" she asked cautiously. She didn't want to give him any idea's.

"I'll just have to make you tell me. And you know I have ways."

Mai spluttered in embarrassment. "I wish you didn't have your ways" she grumbled.

Naru just smirked and leaned even closer to the brunette.

The petite girl attempted to shuffle further away from him on the couch.

However her boyfriend just grasped her arm and pulled her into his chest.

He leaned down to her ear and smirked. "You feel like telling me yet?" he asked.

Mai kept her gaze down on her lap. She couldn't look into those blue eyes of his. She couldn't or she knew she'd break and spill.

Placing a hand on her cheek he forced her face to look at him.

"Tell me, Mai." He whispered huskily.

She gulped and closed her eyes shaking her head. She couldn't, she refused!

Naru smirked moving head to her neck.

Moving her hair out of the way, he began to leave trails of kisses up and down her neck.

Mai moaned blushing a red as a tomato.

"Feel like telling me yet?" he hummed against her neck.

"It—it's embarrassing!" The girl mumbled while squeaking slightly. She tried to cover up her face again.

He rolled his eyes. "It can't be that bad."

"It is for me!"

Naru sighed, licking the spot on her neck and sucking lightly. "Fine by me then. I don't mind letting everyone know you're taken."

Mai blushed and squirmed a bit. "Naaruu! Don't you remember what happened the last time you gave me one of those?!"

He smirked, brushing his teeth over the spot lightly. "Of course I do. But i can just hide in my office until it blows over" he commented.

She squirmed even more, trying not to moan.

"Y-you wouldn't dare."

"I think we both know I would."

Mai gulped. She knew he would. But she really didn't want to explain the truth. Perhaps she could lie...

Then Naru began sucking on her neck more and she lost her train of thought.

She let out a quiet whine before attempting to move away from Naru again. Naturally his hands wouldn't budge from her waist.

"Mm, Naaaru!" She cried out in a whining tone.

"Are you going to tell me?"

Mai bit her lip, debating.

Should she tell him? But it was so embarrassing!

He'd probably call her an idiot...

Naru placed his lips back on her neck as if to say 'i'm waiting'.

"Be-because!" The brunette began embarrassedly, feeling his hot lips on her skin.

He hummed making her continue. "I- can'tseeyouremotionsinyoureyesbecauseyourhairkeepscoveringthem" she squealed, trying once again to move away from those sinful lips.

Slowly, she felt them leave her neck.

"Repeat that again - slowly."

Mai gulped. "D-Do I have to?"

The movement of Naru's head was all the answer she needed.

She blushed madly. "I can't see your emotions in your eyes because your hair keeps covering them..." She mumbled slowly.

Naru blinked for a minute in shock before chuckling. She was too cute.

Was that seriously all what this was about?

Well he wouldn't complain, after all her feelings of embarrassment meant that Mai now had a nice bruise forming on her neck.

He smirked as he looked at the mark.

Mai shrunk slightly at his smirk before realising that despite her best efforts he had in fact marked her.

She mentally groaned.

"Naru" she whined, "did you have to?"

Her boyfriend's smirk widened. "Yes. I warned you but you didn't listen."

Mai pouted, "That's not fair" she complained.

Naru raised an eyebrow.

"Fair? Then perhaps you want to give me one too?" He wholeheartedly teased, enjoying her blush.

"Wha- You jerk!" She hit him lightly in the chest.

Naru let out a chuckle to her reaction. She was too cute.

Before she had time to hit him again, he gave her a kiss.

"Why is that so important?" He asked once he pulled away, referring to Mai's confession.

She looked away flushed. "Because."

"Beacause?" He pushed.

She huffed, "just because!"

"That's not a reason, especially since you were yelling at me to get a haircut." Amusement danced in his midnight blue eyes.

The brunette glanced at him with flushed cheeks. "Do i have to tell you?"

Naru just nodded in response.

She crossed her arms, "Why do i have to tell you?"

"Because I think I deserve a whole explanation before I think of giving into your demand. Or if you still refuse to speak I can give you another one of these." Naru placed a kiss on the mark on her neck. "Perhaps on the other side this time." He smirked.

Mai squirmed trying to create some distance between them. "D-don't even think about it" she stuttered nervously with flushed cheeks.

"Then you better start explaining."

The brunette gulped. "It's important because otherwise it's hard to tell what you're thinking."

Naru frowned a bit. "You mean you can't tell?"

"No..." Mai frowned as well. "You're making it sound like it should be easy."

Naru sighed, "Thats true" he stated trying to hide the fact that he was slightly disappointed.

Mai tilted her head in slight confusion, wanting more of an explanation.

Her boyfriend rolled his eyes at her.

"What?!" Mai asked from the look he had given her.

"Its actually good to know that my facial expressions don't normally show on my face. The only one who needs to know what i'm thinking is you Mai" he explained.

"And I can usually only do that by looking at your eyes...which your stupid bangs keep covering up lately!" The last part came out exasperated.

Naru sighed shaking his head. "Alright, so because of this you want me to cut my hair? To think you said i had no manners" he teased.

Mai blinked. "So...you will...?" She asked uncertainly.

He scoffed, "I don't know. I rather enjoy seeing the different reactions i get from you."

Mai's cheeks turned red from sudden anger and she swatted on his chest.

"Naruu!" she whined, "You jerk!"

She half felt that she should kick him out her apartment for the night.

He simply chuckled and pecked her on the cheek.

In return, Mai gave her a half-hearted glare.

"I told you" he stated.

"Told me what?" She asked in confusion.

Naru smirked, "An angry kitten."

Cheeks instantly turning red, Mai hit him again.

This time Naru caught her hands and used them to pull her forward.

"Naru, will you st—" Though she was cut off by him giving her a kiss to shut her up.

It didn't last long but as always, it left her breathless.

"Stop trying to get off the subject!" She said, trying to free her hands from his grasp.

He rolled his eyes "and which subject would that be? The fact that you want me to cut my hair?"

"Yes!" Mai said as though it should obvious. "And you don't have to cut it completely—and please don't ever because then you'd just look weird—but just trim it... Out of your eyes... So I can see them." Mai tried to smile sweetly.

Naru smirked, "Alright but it'll cost you."

"...What is it?" Mai asked warily.

His smirk widened, "Just a kiss for every one of my beautiful hairs that gets cut."

Mai then resembled a fish out of water. "But-but that's like thousands!"

"Alright, a kiss for every second i waste getting it cut when i could be working."

"That's still a lot!" Mai cried out.

Her boyfriend did seem to feel her exasperation however and merely smirked.

"Well, I guess we have no deal then." He said.

His girlfriend's eyes widened, "B-but Naruuuu!"

"Are you going to agree to the terms?" He questioned.

She bit her lip "Every minute instead?" she tried.

He stared at her, debating on whether he should spare her or not.

Mentally calculating the amount of time it'll take for his fringe to get cut he sighed. "Every thirty seconds. Take it or leave it."

Mai pressed her lips together, her face turning pink. "Fine..." She grumbled.

He couldn't help but feel smug at her acceptance. She was too easy.

Perhaps he should just make the haircut take longer so she would have to kiss him more.

He smirked at that plan. Shouldn't be hard.

"So when do you plan on doing it?" He asked teasingly.

"Doing what?"

"Cutting my hair." Naru raised a brow. "You honestly didn't think I was going to let some stranger do it, did you?"

Mai pouted, "fine."

She sure gave in quickly... Naru inwardly mused while mentally smirking.

The brunette made a mental note to get it done as fast as possible when she did it. There was no way she was going to owe Naru that may kisses if she could help it.

She blushed a little just thinking about it.

Naru smirked at the slight flush. "What are you thinking about Mai?" he asked smugly.

"Nothing!" She grumbled.

"You know you really shouldn't lie. It could get you into trouble."

"You're one to talk." She crossed her arms in a pout.

Naru rolled his eyes. "I'm not a danger magnet though."

"What does that have to do with me lying?!" She asked.

"Because you seem to enjoy lying about things that end up with you in trouble."

"I do not!" Mai denied.

"Yes you do" he insisted.

"Name one then!"

Naru sighed but said nothing.

"Ha! Told you so!" Mai said, pointing her finger at him.

He rolled his eyes, "Just because you haven't yet doesn't mean you won't" he pointed out.

Mai pursed her lips before shoving his shoulder.

"Jerk" she muttered pouting.

"It's getting late you know!" She added. Part of her wanted him to leave because of his mean teasing, but the other part wanted him to stay with her.

"If you wanted me to go you should have just said so instead of making up excuses."

"I never said that..." Mai grumbled.

Naru smirked, "So you don't want me to go?"

Mai looked away as her cheeks turned red.

"I never said that either..."

"Then what do you want?" Naru asked her, raising a brow.

The brunette huffed, "I don't know" she whined.

Naru allowed an amused look pass through his face.

"You don't know?" he asked.

Mai blushed, still looking away from him.

Taking her face into his hand he forced her to look at him.

Well, her head did; her eyes were still looking off to the side.

"Mai."

"Y-yes...?" Mai asked, closing her eyes momentarily.

He smirked -not that she could tell.

"Look at me." He said.

Mai shook her head slightly. "No" she refused.

"Why not?"

"Because if I open my eyes you'll do something to me" Mai replied.

"Do something?" Naru questioned innocently.

The brunette blushed. "You know what i mean!"

"No, I'm afraid I don't."

It was getting harder for her to keep her eyes closed at this point. She couldn't tell what he was thinking if she couldn't see his eyes... but she didn't want to know what he'd do once she opened them either.

Was he just playing with her or did he really not know?

She mentally groaned in frustration. Why did her boyfriend have to be so unpredictable?

"Naaaarruuu!" She whined.

He sighed, "Just leave your eyes closed then."

Mai blushed. What was he going to do now?!

She waited for something to happen.

After a few moments, she felt warm lips gently press against her forehead.

Her eyes opened in surprise.

She hadn't really expected that...

He smirked at her. "You opened your eyes" he pointed out.

Mai immediately frowned. "Jerk!"

Naru placed a kiss on her nose. "Am I?"

Mai crossed her arms with a slight huff.

Placing another kiss on her other cheek he smirked at the face she was making. He didn't think she ever realized how cute she was. And he doubted he would ever tell her that when she could hear him. He did have a reputation after all.

"Do you know what you want now, Mai?" He questioned.

Looking at him she shook her head. "I want you to stay but I don't want you to stay. I can't decide..." she muttered tiredly.

Slowly, Mai let her gaze travel up to his face. "You decide for me..." She said quietly.

Naru raised an eyebrow. "Did you really just tell me to decide that?"

Mai flushed, pressing her lips together.

"I take it back, i'll decide" she rushed.

Naru smirked. So she was afraid of his answer, huh?

"So decide then" he challenged smugly.

Mai puffed out her cheeks.

"Ummm leave?"

"Why did it sound like a question?"

"It didn't" she insisted blushing furiously.

"I think it did." He smirked slightly.

Mai huffed, "Then you're wrong."

"Are you sure?" He leaned closer to her.

She nodded wordlessly not trusting her voice.

Naru sighed, deciding to do what she wanted and stop teasing her. "Alright." He said as he stood up. Then he turned and bent down, giving his girlfriend a kiss on the forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow then." He muttered.

Looking up she smiled at him. "See you tomorrow."

She stood up and walked with him to the door. "Lock the door after I leave." Naru ordered.

Rolling her eyes Mai nodded, "I got it."

"Both locks." He said strictly knowing she sometimes forgot to even lock her doors. Really, didn't that girl know what could happen?

Huffing she placed a kiss on his cheek, "I told you i've got it. I'm not a little kid."

Naru sighed before nodding slightly. He opened the door and gave her one more kiss. "Tomorrow you can trim my hair since you want to so much." He gave her a small smirk.

She was about to reply but he was already walking away.

Mai huffed and closed the door, locking it behind him.

Flicking off the lights she went to bed.

Tomorrow she'll finally won't have to worry about not seeing Naru's emotions.

She'd be able to know what was going on in that head of his.
