Akumu Age 11
I let out a content sigh as I relaxed in the hot springs feeling every inch of my tense muscles relax, how long has it been since I was able to relax... A very long time it seem. I stretched my arms above my head arching my back until I felt and heard that wonderful pop, I let out another sigh before sinking in deeping into the warm water now the water was at my neck. I closed my eyes and leaned back against a rock. "Why don't you join me Haku... It wouldn't be the first time" I spoked up opening one eye and looking over my wet shoulder and looked at Haku with my usual blank look.
I noticed a hint of red on his cheeks but didn't comment on it probably from the heat. "Akumu!! We can't do that anymore!! We we're kids!" Haku spouted I rolled my eyes before submerging myself under the water getting my hair wet, I slowly stood up lifting my arm and used my hand and slicked my hair back getting it out of my face and let out a long sigh.
"Haku... Just get in here, I can tell how tense you are... Me and Zabuza didn't go easy on you in training so you might as well join me" I said giving him a look he gave me a small glare before letting out his very own sigh, I turned before sitting back down and leaned back relaxed again. I heard clothed dropping to the floor before I felt Haku standing besides me before sinking into the water with a content sigh of his own.
"What did I say" I said before closing my eyes lifting my head up before opening them and looking at the sky. "Oh hush..." Haku said with a small laugh before going quiet I looked at him from the corner of my eye. "What is it? I can tell something is on your mind..." I asked looking at him completely now, he didn't look back at he just gave me a sad smile. "What do you think of me?" Haku asked I shrugged my shoulders and looked forward.
"I think of you and Zabuza as comrades even though you guys are bad guys" I answered but it seemed like Haku didn't like that answer because he grabbed my shoulders and forced me to look at him, I gave him a slight look of surprise when I glare on his face. "No!! What do you think of me?!" He basically yelled I opened my mouth to say something but stopped.
'What do I think of him? He is sweet... He has a pretty face, but what do I think of him, whenever I look into his brown eyes I can't help but feel safe... I love his touch it's not like others when the touch me, whenever he calls my name I can't help but feel my heart flutter... What is that feeling?'
I got out of my thoughts when I felt Haku's hands get off my shoulders and saw a hurt look on his face. "Never mind forget what I asked... I'm going to get out" Haku said with hurt in his voice he turned getting ready to get out of the hotspring, but I quickly grabbed his wrist preventing him from leaving. "Wait!" My voice raised slightly.
"I don't know what you mean about what I think of you but... I would say... I find comfort when your around... Your smile makes me happy... I would feel broken if I lost you... But when you call my name I can't help but feel the warm feeling in my chest... What does that mean?" I answered looking him deep in his eyes, I watched as a warm smile appears on his glossy lips as he place a pointer under my chin and a thumb on my bottom lip.
"It seems I have a chance after all hmm~" He spoke with a silky smooth voice leaning close to my face are lips were so close to touching, I could feel his hot breath on my lips I could feel my cheek grow warm. "You look beautiful with pink on your face Aku~" Haku mummers softly before placing his lips upon my very own, my eyes widen slightly at what happened before closing them feeling a fluttering feeling inside my chest. I placed a hand on Haku's shoulders and slightly pushed panting slightly.
"Haku what is this feeling? I feel my heart fluttering but in a good way" I asked breathlessly looking at him with halflid eyes, he smiled at me sweetly placing a hand on my warm cheek. "That feeling your feeling is the same as me whenever I am with you... Your feeling love~" Haku answered placing his forehead upon mine. 'Love... I'm feeling love now I understand it's not that same love I feel for Koin and Zabuza... It's a different type of love... A love for only... Haku' I thought before placing a hand on his cheek. "I love you... Haku~" And with that we kissed again.
"Hey you brats get out of there before you passed out!!" Zabuza shouted knocking on the door making me and Haku pull back, we looked at each other with heavy blushes on are faces before smiling.
"Haku~"
