Inspired by the multitudes of NejiHina YouTube AMV's to "Where Is Your Boy TOnight/ Grand Theft Autumn".

Did I forget to mention this was a oneshot? Sorries...

"Where is your boy tonight, Hinata?" Neji muttered, placing a blanket over the Hyuga heiress who had fallen asleep onto the couch. "I hope he is a gentleman."

Neji certainly knew where Naruto was, having seen the pair when coming home from training- so absorbed in one another that they had no clue he was there getting angrier and angrier about Naruto's treatment of Hinata.

That pair was made up of Naruto and Sakura- though Hinata was Naruto's girlfriend.

And Neji was certain that the blonde was not being a gentleman.

The heiress stirred. "Nii-san?"

"Good evening, Hinata-sama."

"Is it so late already?"

"Yes."

Hinata frowned at him, a little stung by the sharp tone. "I'm sorry..." she said, though he knew she didn't know what she was apologizing for. Neji sighed, feeling guilty as usual for making Hinata feel bad.

"You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault I'm in a bad mood. I apologize for being rude. Yes, it is late. I was just going to leave you there, but now you're awake, you ought to go to your bed."

"Yeah..." She still didn't stand up.

"Up, Hinata-sama."

Babysitting time.

"Fine."

She tried to stand up, but immediately collapsed.

"You ran out of chakra again, didn't you?" Neji asked, frowning at her.

She nodded, looking like that poor cliché puppy that chewed the shoe and now feels guilty.

Neji sighed again. "You shouldn't train so much. Naruto is working you too hard. I don't know why. Maybe he doesn't understand that we don't all have endless chakra." Actually, Neji knew exactly why Naruto made Hinata tired. It had to do with where he went after he left Hinata exhausted at her home.

He knelt down and hoisted her up, carrying her over one shoulder.

She hardly protested, falling asleep over his shoulder.

"You were the last good thing about this part of town and Naruto doesn't know that," Neji muttered to the lightly snoring Hinata. "I still can't believe you're going out with him. Can't you tell what he's doing with Sakura behind your back?"

Of course she didn't answer, but continued snoring.

"Hn," Neji snorted. "This is why I haven't got a girlfriend, Hinata-sama. Well, not a steady one, at least. I'm not going to tell you these things while you're awake. You'd..." He paused. "Take it badly. You've always worshiped him to the point where it got annoying. I guess you need him, don't you?"

They walked through the silent halls, Hinata's snoring and his footsteps being the only thing breaking the eerie stillness of the sleeping house.

Neji found her room, turning the doorknob and opening the door slowly so that the creaking wouldn't be that noticeable. All doors in the Hyuuga household creaked. The elders were too cheap to fix it.

"He'll probably never know how good you are. How sad is that?" he asked the sleeping girl, thinking back to the things he had found to be her faults during the Chuunin exams, and now he found to be virtues. Sweetness and light. Happy. Kind. Stubborn. "Heh. Finally, I see more good in someone than Naruto."

He paused again, gathering thoughts to say to her. "I mean, it's not that I don't think he won't get Sasuke back or anything- Naruto definitely can do that. I can't. Even if it was Lee, I don't think I'd be able to bring someone back from that. But... Naruto sees more value in Sasuke and Sakura than he does in you, and that is where he and I are different. Sure, teammates are important, and that's all well and good... But you- he should be in love with you. I don't understand what's so great about Sakura, anyway. Lee is obsessed with her. She's cheating on him, too. What a pair they are." He sighed.

"Naruto and Sakura. She still likes Sasuke, did you know that? She's dating Lee, cheating on him with Naruto, and she's still in love with Sasuke. She tells Tenten everything. Tenten tells me everything, too. And I tell Tenten most things, except exactly how much I love you. But Sakura doesn't know that I know, because Tenten doesn't tell her everything. Or maybe she does. I don't know. I don't care, either. It's all more than a little complicated, and I'm sure that not even Shikamaru is smart enough to figure this one out."

He pulled the covers back one-handedly, nearly falling onto the bed himself, and arranged the pillows into what he considered a comfortable position. "Oof. You're a little heavy, aren't you? Not fat, though. Just right. A normal person- Sakura's too skinny and she's not that pretty anyway. You're prettier. I think that you don't like him as much as you pretend, anyway. I don't know why you'd be sticking with him in that case, but you tell me things that I don't think you tell Naruto. Things you trust me with and not him. And for that alone, I'm grateful. Maybe you'll see it someday. Don't you get that Naruto's not right for you? That he really loves Sakura? Which is all well and good until it hurts you- which makes me mad, Hinata-sama. Because if he likes her, he should be with her and not you. I wonder if I'd be with you in that case. Do you suppose I'd ask you out like I want to? I guess I'll never know. I can't see him marrying you, but..."

He placed her on the bed carefully but awkwardly.

"I'm still trying to tell you all this when you're awake. It's harder then, though. I don't think you want to hear it."

Neji snorted again. Covering her up with the blankets and sinking down into the chair next to her bed, he informed her, "You're gonna wake up tomorrow, living your oblivious and happy life. And I will wake up tomorrow... wishing to have forgotten this half-conversation. But I won't have. I never do. And I'll probably come over and talk to you, just because you need that. Naruto's never there anyway. And you'll probably be glowing over something he just said or did or gave you. And I'll be glowering over the injustice of it all. And this will continue. Maybe for a long, long time."

He stood up, a little reluctantly, and gave her sleeping form one last look as he left.

"I'm still trying, Hinata. I still care. And that's more than I can say for him."

Slam.

I love NejiHina-Angst...

This makes fanfic number fifteen for me, what do you think?
