The atmosphere in the room instantly changes drastically when the crack of the door lock that Ino turns echoes on the walls of the quiet apartment. The tension that once felt funny now turns into something much more intense and thrilling.
Ino still leaned her back against the door, her hands resting on the lock as if to make sure there was no way out—or perhaps no outside interference. She looks at you with a deep gaze, a mixture of desperate courage and sheer shame.
Evil: "It's cold outside, Zak... And we thought, it's not safe to leave a guy like you alone without anyone guarding," she whispered in a spoiled tone that trembled. He slowly steps forward, closer to you who are still standing without a top in the moonlight.
Sakura: He swallowed his saliva, his face flushed with redness. Although he is usually the most disciplined, this time he did not take a single step. "I-Ino is right. As a medical ninja, I feel like I have to make sure you really rest with... comfortable," he said stammering, but his eyes remained locked on your abdominal muscles.
Tents: It closes the window door behind you, making the room now only dimly lit. "Don't blame us if we don't want to go home, Zak. You're the one who makes us unable to focus all day with your scent and smile," he added as he tried to regulate his hunting breath.
The three of them are now slowly surrounding you in the middle of the room. The distance between you is eroding until you can smell the scent of Ino's floral perfume, the fresh medical scent of Sakura, and the scent of cinnamon from Tenten.
You're standing there, surrounded by three of Konoha's most beautiful kunoichi who have just locked themselves in with you. The air in the room feels hotter, and the masculine scent from your body seems to be a magnet that draws them closer.
"So, Zak..." Ino was already right in front of you, her hand slowly raised as if she wanted to touch your athletic shoulder. "What should we do now? You won't drive us away to this cold night, will you?"
Me : Ah you guys want to stay overnight, huh? Let's play cards first.
Hearing your very innocent and relaxed invitation, the atmosphere that was tense and "hot" immediately broke out. Ino, Sakura, and Tenten seemed to be jolted back to reality, their faces that had been full of reckless courage now turned into adorable expressions of confusion.
"M-main... cards?" Sakura repeated your words in a high tone, her eyes flashing in disbelief. He who had been preparing for a dramatic romantic moment, now felt a little silly because he had thought too far.
Ino took her hand away from the door and laughed awkwardly while patting her forehead. "Oh my goodness, Zak! You're really... unique! We've already locked the door and surrounded you, and you're playing cards instead?!" Although disappointed that her plan failed, she couldn't help but laugh at your calmness.
Tenten actually looks the most relieved. He took a deep breath and his face returned cheerful. "Card?! I happen to have a set of cards in my gun pocket! I've never lost when it comes to hand speed!" he exclaimed while reaching into his ninja bag.
Finally, the night that was supposed to be full of "drama" turned into a very exciting one:
The four of you sit in a circle on a fur carpet in the middle of the room. You're still shirtless (which makes them occasionally lose concentration when they look at your muscles), while they sit close to you.
Ino constantly tries to peek at your cards while resting her head on your shoulder. "Oh, Zak, my card is so bad... Can you change it?" he snorted.
Sakura is very serious about the game. Every time he wins, he'll cheer a little, but then immediately blush when he sees you smiling proudly at him.
Tenten turned out to be a real expert. He won the early few rounds, but he kept misbehaving every time your hand accidentally touched while picking up a card in the middle.
"You know, Zak," Shikamaru (who had been standing outside your apartment window for some time because of the commotion) muttered from behind the glass, "I expected this to be troublesome, but playing cards in the middle of the night with three of the most popular kunoichi... It's a new level of 'relaxing'."
You laugh at Shikamaru who finally enters through the window because he is too lazy to go home. That night, your apartment is not filled with heavy romance drama, but rather warm laughter and cheerfulness.
"Who loses this round," Ino said in a defiant tone as she looked at you mischievously, "Must comply with one winner's request tomorrow morning! How?"
Pov : *shikamaru came home from sleepiness* *I was also sleepy and staggered on Ino's lap, Sakura, Tenten*
Shikamaru, who is basically a lazy person, can only shake his head. "I'm going home, it's really troublesome. Sleep yourselves, don't be late for practice tomorrow morning," he muttered while jumping out of the window in his relaxed style.
Now the four of you are left in a quiet room. A heavy drowsiness suddenly strikes you at the same time. Your athletic body tired after a day at the festival feels very heavy, and your consciousness begins to blur.
Unknowingly, you staggered to the side. Your warm and fragrant body falls right between the three of them.
Evil: Your head lands on his soft lap. He gasps, his breath held for a moment as he feels the smooth skin of your shoulders touch his hands. However, instead of moving away, he slowly caresses your wet hair very gently. "Pocket... You're really tired, aren't you?" she whispered in an affectionate voice.
Sakura: You lean on her shoulder, making Sakura reflexively embrace your waist so you don't fall to the floor. His face was extinguished red, but he couldn't hide his sincere smile. He can feel your steady heartbeat, which slowly calms him down.
Tents: It holds your back from the other side, making sure you feel comfortable. "He sleeps like a baby," Tenten muttered softly, his face blushing as he saw how peaceful your face was when he fell asleep.
The three of them looked at each other silently under the moonlight that came in from the window. No more competition or envy. They just want to enjoy this quiet moment with you.
"How is this? We can't possibly leave her like this, right?" Sakura whispered very quietly so as not to wake you up.
"Just leave it at that..." Ino replied as she continued to stroke your hair. "Just for tonight, let him rest here with us."
That night, in a small, quiet apartment, you fall asleep in the warm embrace of Konoha's three most beautiful kunoichi. The scent of your masculine body blends with their warmth, creating a peaceful atmosphere until the morning approaches.
Pov : *still at night, I'm asleep* *Sakura, tenten, ino takes turns kissing my lips*
