Sasuke looked around in annoyance. He had been dragged out by his friends to a party that he really would rather have not attended, but what could he do when his friends literally dragged him out of his bed and into a car with no consideration for his complaints.
"Would you please look more alive or happy, please?" Neji huffed, poking the other's side and smirking as he heard a whine and looking at him innocently.
"Neji, what the hell am I supposed to do here?" Sasuke asked, frowning in confusion.
Neji shrugged and motioned around the house, humming in thought as he realized just how crowded the space was then sighed, pulling Sasuke along and towards the backyard, "Okay, I see your point there. Come on, let's see if there's anything to do over here."
Sasuke shrugged and allowed himself to be dragged along, sighing in relief as they reached the door and walked into the cool night air, "This… this is much better."
"Isn't it? There's always time to have a good time, but it would be much better if there weren't as many people as there are here," A voice said, causing both Neji and Sasuke to turn towards it in surprise, coughing awkwardly as they met the gazes of three other people.
"Hello there, I'm Gaara and these are my friends Naruto and Kiba," one of them said, smiling at them as they all waved.
"Ah, I'm Neji and this is Sasuke," Neji answered after a moment, smiling shyly as Gaara motioned for them to sit with them.
"What is it? You don't look too thrilled to be here," Kiba said, looking at Sasuke who shrugged, "I'm not, I was dragged here by this idiot before he realized that maybe coming wasn't the best of ideas."
Kiba nodded and hummed, "Well, I can't help you there. We're friends with the host but every time this happens he has a party is that we're forgotten."
"Yah! I don't forget about you all," another voice said, huffing in annoyance.
"Say what you want but you do forget about us, Kankuro," Gaara said, raising an eyebrow as he seemingly dared the other to talk back.
"I- whatever," the man, now known as Kankuro, said.
"So… Who are your new friends?" He questioned as he walked towards them with a grin.
"Neji and Sasuke, they seem to be as done with your party as the rest of us," Kiba answered, looking at Kankuro with a look of pure annoyance.
"Aish, alright, I got it," Kankuro huffed in response, looking at the youngest with a sigh before muttering, "Give me an hour."
"Alright, I'm timing you since now," Kiba said, taking out his phone as Kankuro jumped and hurried back inside with a whine, "Yah, that's too much, Kiba!"
Kiba shrugged as he started the timer on his phone, Gaara smiling lightly, "You have him wrapped around your finger there."
"It's not my fault he's so difficult at times," Kiba hummed, looking around the small group that had now been formed, "So…"
"You're being awkward," Sasuke said with a snort as Neji nodded in agreement, "I'm sure there is something we can talk about but don't force it or else it won't be natural."
"Well, it's kind of awkward if I don't say something because then there is endless silence," Kiba huffed, looking at Sasuke with a pout before turning to Naruto who had been looking down at his lap the entire time.
"Naruto?" Gaara asked, smiling as the younger lifted his head slightly and looked at him curiously, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," it was whispered but they all heard it clearly and Neji tilted his head at him, "Your voice is very different. One would be able to tell you apart from many other people because of its tone. It's refreshing."
Naruto blinked before smiling shyly and nodding, "Thank you…"
"You don't talk much, do you?" Sasuke questioned softly, making Naruto's eyes widen before Sasuke waved him off, "Don't worry, it's nice to meet people like you. This means that you are very thoughtful and intelligent. You use the extended moments of silence to think about new and important ideas or simply to question everything. A curious and open mind is always welcome with us."
Naruto blinked before grinning and looking at him in awe, "You're the first person to have ever said that."
"It's just what I do," Sasuke answered, a smile playing on his lips and shrugging, "Besides, I live with Neji, I know how those silent geniuses are." (A/n: Shut up, Sasuke, you're the exact same way.)
"You guys live together? Where?" Gaara asked Neji curiously, having been paying attention to their conversation along with Neji and Kiba.
"Just a few streets away, actually… We live in the apartments right next to the university," Neji answered, a confused expression appearing on his face as Gaara and Kiba smirked, "Assuming here but… third floor and seventh door?"
Neji blinked before nodding slowly, "Yeah… How did you know?"
Kiba shrugged, "Well, because we live down the hall in the fifteenth room while Naruto lives on the third."
"That doesn't really answer my question," Neji said, sighing softly.
"It's the fact that Naruto has mentioned catching glimpses of someone with… very similar to your own hair color right now. There's not many guys with the guts to be able to just not care about what anyone else thinks and allow their hair to be as beautiful and long as yours."
Neji blinked before chuckling and nodding, "True, I can't argue with that."
Gaara smiled and looked at Naruto with a sigh, making Neji tilt his head in curiosity, "What is it? Wait, I got it… He's not usually this talkative, is he?"
Gaara hummed softly in reply, watching as Sasuke says something causing a smile to appear on Naruto's face then nods, "But when you've grown up being told that you don't matter, that's not so difficult to see."
Neji nodded, an understanding look on his face as he continued to watch the interaction between Sasuke and Hoseok with a smile, "Well, Sasuke hasn't gone through something like that but is still very quiet… Maybe this is what they need."
Gaara nodded, smiling softly as he did so, "Maybe it is…"
A/N: I am here with a brand new story. If there is anything that is wrong, please tell me. I wrote this as a fanfic for BTS so... yeah, that's on wattpadd. I have another story on there was I was wondering if I should also upload on here but honestly, this is very annoying so I don't want to have to change everything for that story too... considering it's long as hell and it would be way too much editing and stuff. Besides, it contains lyrics and gate knows that if I do that one more time, it will only result in my story being deleted... AGAIN. So, yeah, not doing that. Though, if you are a BTS fan then it would probably be your type of story... If you want to read it then simply go onto my Wattpad ( Axel_Kingly) or my AO3 account ( Axel_K). Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed.
