To catch your husband having sex with someone else is heartbreaking. To hear him say "I love you" with more passion and emotion than he ever said it to you was devastating. That's exactly what Sasuke was feeling as he watched those scenarios play out through the crack of his bedroom door. He had come home early only to hear strange sounds coming from the bedroom. An investigation only led him to find Neji having sex with his secretary Tenten. The situation was so cliché that Sasuke might have found it humorous if it wasn't happening to him. So many questions flowed through his mind as he stood there for a second. Most he wasn't sure he wanted the answers to.
Questions like why? How long? Was it something he did? Was it something he didn't do? Did Neji really love Tenten? Did he still love him?
That last question nearly broke Sasuke's control on his emotions. But he knew that now was not the time to cry. He needed to figure out what he was going to do. A voice in the back of his mind screamed for him to confront his lying, cheating husband. Instead, he turned and walked away. To confront Neji meant he was acknowledging the affair which meant he had to deal with it. The only way to truly deal with this betrayal was to leave him. Sasuke just couldn't do that. Neji was all he had left and despite the hurt and betrayal, Sasuke still loved him. He suddenly stopped walking and sighed. He pretty much had his answer didn't he? He wanted his marriage to continue and to do that, he was going to turn a blind eye to everything. Neji's whore would still have to go. He'd have to come up with some way to get her permanently out of their life. First things first though, he needed to break up the disgusting act going on in his home right at this moment. Sasuke pulled out his phone and dialed home. Not surprisingly, Neji didn't answer the phone. The answering machine clicked on so he left a message knowing that Neji would be able to hear it.
"Neji, I was finished early today so I'm on my way home."
Sasuke then slowly began walking home to give Neji time to.....
Pull his dick out of her.
Get her out of there, Sasuke quickly amended. He was going to have to do better than this. To make this work, he had to give up this bitterness. He finally made it back home and stood in front of the door so he could take a few deep breaths. This was going to be hard, but he would do anything to save his marriage. He plastered a small smile on walked in.
"Neji, I'm home."
"I'm in the office."
Sasuke walked into the office and found him sitting at the desk pretending to do some work. The not quite dry strands of hair indicated that he was fresh from the shower.
"How was your day?" Neji asked.
Horrible.
"Fine. Yours?" he answered as he leaned against the desk.
"Tedious. I did paperwork all day."
Liar. Try harder Sasuke, he reminded himself.
"Something wrong?"
"No, why?"
"Your eyes seem a little red."
"I've been rubbing them. I might need to get new glasses."
"You should reconsider the laser surgery. It'll clear your eyes up." Neji said.
"I'll talk to the doctor about it at my next appointment."
Neji looked at him strangely and Sasuke could almost see him trying to figure out what was wrong. Ever since he was young, Sasuke had a fear of things close to his eyes and had always refused to even think about the surgery. But Neji wanted him to have it so he was going to seriously think about it. He had vowed to do anything to save his marriage and he meant it. Before Neji could question him about his sudden change, Sasuke slid into his lap and kissed him. Neji hesitated for a second before he responded. Lack of air forced Sasuke to pull back. He sighed and laid his head against Neji's chest. He still smelled strongly of the shampoo he had used. Sitting here like this was nice enough that Sasuke wouldn't mind staying there forever, or a few hours at least. Any thoughts of remaining were pushed away as Neji began shifting.
"As much as I'd like to continue this, I have to work on my presentation. I really need to focus on it."
You weren't focusing on it when....
Sasuke bit his tongue to keep stop that train of thought. He wanted nothing more than to unleash everything he was trying to suppress. But he knew if he let loose, even a little, he wouldn't be able to stop.
"I know."
And he did. Neji worked in an advertising agency. For the last two months, he had been putting together a presentation for a potential client. The account was worth millions and if Neji managed to land it, he was up for a huge promotion. Unfortunately, the client was being difficult and had suddenly decided to accept proposals from two other agencies. All three would come together and give their proposals in a meeting that had yet to be scheduled.
"I can help if you want."
"Don't you have something else to do?"
"I'm never too busy for you."
"Alright. There are a few things you can help with."
Neji got up and showed Sasuke what he wanted him to do before he started on his work. After a few hours, Sasuke stopped and stretched.
"I need to make dinner. Chicken sound fine?"
"Yes."
Sasuke cleaned up his area and went to the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of wine and then began making a quick chicken dish. As he waited, he made a salad and set the table. Neji walked in just as Sasuke finished setting the plates on the table.
"Good timing. Grab the salad."
Neji grabbed the salad and sat down across from him.
"Let's go away for the weekend." Sasuke said.
With his fork halfway to his mouth, Neji paused.
"Not now. I need to be here if they decide to schedule the meeting. Sorry."
"What about going on vacation afterwards?"
"Fine." Neji answered.
"Any place you'd like to go?"
"None that I can think of. Why don't you pick up some brochures when you can and we'll go through them?"
"Okay."
Sasuke went back to eating and made mental plans to visit a travel agent tomorrow. Except for some small talk now and then, they ate in silence. It was a normal dinner in their house. Except Neji really wasn't paying much attention to him. And Sasuke was drinking more wine with dinner than usual.
