Chapter 1
Is there something you want to share with me?
When living together, of course you share things together. The bathroom, the kitchen, perhaps some bread. But does it end there? Is that all there is to share when your new roommate is the guy you have been waiting for? SasuNeji
Uchiha Sasuke stood in front of the building of his best friend. This time though, it was not a simple visit. He was about to look around the house, be interviewed and then decide whether he was going to live in the house as well. About three weeks ago, Inuzuki Kiba and his roommates were informed with the news that one of them was moving out. So they needed a new roommate. And Sasuke had been looking for a place for a while now, so it was a good opportunity to get out of the house. His brother had been annoying him for a while, ever since his boyfriend moved in. And Sasuke was not fond of couples in the first place. Not their bickering or their lovey dovey moments. And Itachi and Deidara had a lot of those (because of the explosive blonde of course). So Sasuke decided that he should move out and live on his own, or at least with new people. He rang the doorbell to Kiba 's place, and waited. He hoped Kiba 's roommates weren't gonna be very annoying and the room would be nice. Because he really needed to get out.
The door was swung open within a few minutes, and a broadly smirking Kiba stood in the doorway, showing his pointy teeth.
"Hey man, you found it!" As always, Kiba was cheery. Even more now he saw his best friend standing in front of the door. He gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Come in, come in. I'll show you your soon to be paradise."
"Hi." Sasuke said as he walked into the house. "Are your roommates here as well?" He looked around. The living room looked nice, but it could be seen that a couple of students lived here. Chips and bottles of beer on the table. Sasuke wasn't quite used to that with his neat freak of a brother at home.
"Naruto is here, princess is not." Kiba said. "I'll show you around first. Well as you can see, we share a TV and digitenne. If you just pay around 1400 yen to the housekeeper once it will be fine, you can use the refrigerator, washing machine, all of that. Internet is just 600 yen each month. I guess you can miss that, right?" He walked into the kitchen now.
"Sure, I'm not poor." Sasuke said. "Who the hell is Princess? I thought you lived with all boys." He looked at the kitchen. Typically a student kitchen alright. Kind of filthy and the dishwasher was missing. So he had to do the dishes himself.
"Princess is Neji, a real prick." Kiba said. "He can be nice though. He's a lot like you." He gave Sasuke a mean smirk now. "I'll show you your room." He walked towards the hallway again, and opened the first door on the left. He let Sasuke in and walked in after him.
Sasuke looked around. It looked pretty nice. Smaller then his room he had now, but he didn't need all that space anyway.
"It looks good." Sasuke said. "So can I paint the walls and such?"
"Sure, just be sure the walls won't get stained, else you won't get your bond back." Kiba said, nodding. "If you want I could help you with it. Naruto would help too. Or did you plan on doing stuff like that with your brother?" He was looking around too, putting his hands in his pockets.
"I'm not sure yet, I'll see." Sasuke said. He actually wasn't planning to let his brother help. He would end up with the room that Itachi thought was the best. Sure, maybe he was right about those things most of the time, but it could be quite annoying.
"Alright, I'll hear that from you then." Kiba said. "So what else should I show you? You know Naruto. Want to see some pictures of princess or want me to tell about him, or don't you care as always?" He walked into the hallway again, towards the kitchen once more. "Oh and do you want something to drink? I've got some beer."
"A beer would be nice." Sasuke said. Screw the fact that it was the middle of the day. "And I guess you could tell me something about that guy. I should know my future roommates."
"Alright." Kiba said. "You can sit down at the table already, I'll go get my laptop." He walked back into the hallway, towards his own room. As Sasuke sat down at the table, a blonde perked his head around the corner of his room and smiled broadly as he saw the raven sitting there. He walked into the kitchen and gave Sasuke a hard hit on the shoulder.
"Hey teme!" Naruto cheered. "You're gonna live here? Are you, are you?"
"Jeez dobe, shut up." Sasuke said, looking at Naruto with an almost annoyed look on his face. "I might live here if you won't bother me."
"Huh?" Naruto asked, getting a slightly angry look on his face. "I'm not bothering anyone! Jeez, ass."
"I was talking about all the times you 'are' bothering people." Sasuke said. "You're too loud dobe." He gave Naruto a slight grin.
"Hmpf." Naruto said, crossing his arms, while his eyes closed into a thin line, like they always did when he was offended. "So what makes you doubt?" At that moment, Kiba entered the room again and sat down next to Sasuke, plugging the cord of his laptop into a socket.
"Is he bothering you?" He asked Sasuke with a grin, nodding his head to Naruto.
"Pff, I get it, I get it." Naruto said as he grabbed the chips that was onto the table and crashed down onto another chair, starting to eat.
"He was asking why I'm doubting." Sasuke said. "I'm not doubting, I just want to know who I am going to live with if I move here."
Kiba was now searching some things on his laptop.
"Right. I'm searching a picture now." He said.
"Did he see the bathroom already?" Naruto asked, leaning back. When Kiba shook his head, Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Wanna see?" He asked.
"Sure." Sasuke said shrugging and got up. He followed Naruto to the bathroom.
Naruto opened the door and showed him the bathroom.
"Here." Naruto said. "Do you see that?" He pointed to the shower now. "That's the best damn shower you will ever stand under in your whole life. I mean seriously, ever seen a thing that huge? And we even have a bath. The bathroom is like our holy altar. I love being here."
Sasuke snorted.
"You're insane Naruto. But yeah, it looks great." He said. "Who cleans this place? Considering the rest of the house isn't 'that' clean."
"Neji does." Naruto said. "We all have our own tasks in the house, it's Neji's job to clean the bathroom. I vacuum clean, Kiba does the kitchen. And the guy who's moving out used to do the toilet and he mopped the floors.'
"Great, so I'm gonna get the worst jobs of all." Sasuke said. "With all the parties Kiba throws, that toilet must be disgusting."
Naruto snorted.
"Oh well, if you want we can switch jobs every week." He said. "But that prissy Hyuuga refused to do something else then the bathroom."
"Hey, I got his profile on facebook Sas." Kiba called from the kitchen.
"Well we'll see about the chores once I moved in." Sasuke said and then walked back into the kitchen and sat down next to Kiba. "So what's he like then, beside being a prick?"
"Damn intelligent, sharp, a little quiet because he only says stuff when it's something useful to say." Kiba said, he clicked onto some things and then a picture came into view with his brunette housemate on it. "There he is."
Sasuke looked at the picture. He had to admit that the guy looked hot. Really hot. But of course, pictures could be deceiving. That Neji guy might as well be damn ugly in real life.
"Ah. So a typical case of feeling better than anyone else then." Sasuke said.
"He made this picture to get people to not look on his facebook page, he only wants friends on it." Naruto said, snorting a little, seeing what Sasuke was talking about. Neji had his arms crossed on the picture and looked directly into the camera, looking as if he was telling the viewer to fuck off.
"He's a model." Kiba added to Naruto's story, nodding. "I don't even know if he thinks he's better than everyone else. But he clearly shows it when he has a disliking in you."
"Oh a model, that says enough." Sasuke said. So maybe the guy wasn't ugly in real life. Moving into this place could be fun now that he knew this. "So is there anything else I should know?"
"Never touch his stuff and you'll stay alive." Kiba said with a snort, and Naruto let out a shudder.
"I once used his hairbrush because I couldn't find mine." He then said. "Neji didn't look at me for a week after punching me right into the face."
"He didn't punch you in the face." Kiba said, sweatdropping.
"Yeah well.. he looked like he was going to do it." Naruto said, huffing.
"Ah, well be glad he didn't." Sasuke said, smirking a little. "And anything I should know about the house?"
"The washing machine sometimes makes weird noises." Kiba said, while he stole the chips out of Naruto's hands. "That's all."
"I sleep through everything, so that's not a problem." Sasuke said. "I guess I wouldn't mind living here."
"Cool." Kiba said and handed Sasuke a note. "Here's the phone number and email address of the house boss. You'd better do it."
"Yeah yeah, don't worry. I need to get out of the house as fast as possible." Sasuke said. "So I'm taking this room."
"Nice." Kiba said, smirking.
"Wohoo!" Naruto cheered. "We should throw him a welcome party!" Kiba pulled up his eyebrows.
"Yeah, why not." He said. "Would be a nice opportunity for him to meet new people here."
"That's just an excuse for you to throw a party." Sasuke said smirking. "But go ahead. But don't invite annoying people."
"Just look forward to it." Kiba said. He then smirked broadly. "Welcome to the house Sasuke."
That evening, Sasuke was at the party Kiba had decide to throw for him. He found it quite amazing Kiba had managed to get as many people to come as he did, since it was such a short notice. But it was really crowded. Sasuke was sitting on the couch next to Kiba, his feet on his knee and his arms on the back of the couch. He was highly annoyed, even thought he didn't show it, by the girls that had decided they were very interesting. And Sasuke was really not fond of babbling girls around him.
"So what do you think of the party?" Kiba asked Sasuke, as he leaned on the couch next to him. On the background, lots of people were dancing on the music that was on, and Naruto was playing DJ and bartender at the same time.
"It's fine, but remind me again why you invited these girls over?" Sasuke said, grinning a little at Kiba. He was trying to draw out the sound of the girls talking.
Kiba snorted.
"Didn't I invite enough guys for your liking?" He asked in return. He then turned around as he heard Naruto yelling his name. He turned around, yelling something back to him, which Sasuke couldn't hear because of the loud music. Kiba then turned around to Sasuke, smirking.
"Princess is home." He then said. "Naruto saw him walking into the flat just now."
"And I assume you think that Princess guy is to my liking then? Since you are smirking like that." Sasuke said, giving Kiba a look while grinning a little.
"I'm sure you will like Princess." Kiba said, smirking even broader. "See for yourself." He pointed to the hallway, where a brunette with pale eyes walked into the room, with a just slightly irritated look on his face. A boy even paler then the brunette followed him towards the kitchen, where Naruto was mixing drinks. The last boy was holding a map with files sticking out of it.
"Who's the other boy?" Sasuke asked, leaning over to Kiba a little while he looked at the pale guy. He was following 'Princess' like he was his dog.
"Sai." Kiba said, shrugging while the two boys got something to drink out of the cooler. "Fashion designer. Neji is like.. his personal model. They're good friends."
"I don't like him." Sasuke said. "I'll go and introduce myself." He got up and walked to the two boys. He then leaned against the wall next to Neji and smirked at him, crossing his arms. He knew the guy would start to talk to him now.
Neji looked up from what he was doing and saw Sasuke looking at him. He looked at him for a few seconds before frowning slightly.
"What." He said, obviously not liking being stared at.
Sasuke now put out his hand to Neji.
"I'm Sasuke. Your new roommate." He said.
It was silent for some time, before Neji shook Sasuke's hand. He seemed to take in Sasuke's appearance. It looked like Sasuke had gotten Neji's attention.
"Neji." He then said. "So why did you want to live here?"
"Because I need a place to stay and I know Naruto and Kiba." Sasuke said. Neji looked really good. Better then on the picture even. Finally a guy that was as pretty as he wanted guys to be.
"How come I haven't seen you before then?" Neji asked, and took a sip from his drink. His friend Sai didn't seem to care that that Neji was talking to someone else now.
"Because I don't live in the area." Sasuke answered. "I hear you are a model."
"...Yes." Neji said, pulling up an eyebrow. "Does that bother you?"
"Not at all. Just intrigued. You're quite a good looking guy." Sasuke said and gave Neji a seductive look. He wouldn't mind doing things with this guy.
"Do you expect me to toss myself at your feet now?" Neji asked. Sai chuckled a little now.
"We'll have that get together later, I will call you." Sai said to Neji, who turned to look at him.
"That's fine." Neji said. "We won't be able to work quietly anyway." He then just walked away from Sasuke, leading Sai to the door.
Sasuke smirked broadly now. This guy was fun, he actually needed to do some chasing. Sasuke saw Neji finishing his drink, so he took two more and followed Neji.
"You need another drink?" He asked Neji.
"You don't plan on becoming my new stalker I hope?" Neji asked, as he had waved to Sai and closed the door behind him. But you could see that somewhere, he appreciated Sasuke doing a little effort.
"Not quite a stalker no." Sasuke said. "Just someone who doesn't give up easily. Now do you want that drink?" He held the drink in front of Neji.
Neji looked at Sasuke for a few seconds, giving him a hard stare, before taking the drink and walking to the couch, sitting down. He then gave Kiba a kick.
"I told you to not throw off parties anymore during regular days in the week." He said.
"Chill out princess, it's for Sasuke." Kiba said, once again smirking as he saw Neji sending him a scowl for calling him princess.
Sasuke followed Neji and just sat down next to him, not bothering that now the space was quite cramped.
"So tell me a little about yourself." He said to Neji.
"What do you want to know?" Neji asked, not seeming to really care.
"Like what you do for fun." Sasuke said. He would just start with Neji's hobbies.
"Sport." Neji said. "You?" He drank some more of the drink. He knew it was heavily filled with alcohol.
"Sports and music. What school do you go to?" Sasuke asked as he poured down the beer he had taken.
"I don't go to school now, I'm a full time model now." Neji answered, nodding to Sasuke.
"Oh." Sasuke said. "Didn't finish highschool?" That was kind of odd.
"I did finish highschool." Neji said.
"But you never went to college?" Sasuke said.
Neji frowned.
"No, I can do that in five years too." Neji said. "Do you start this year?"
"Yeah." Sasuke said. "I'm going to lawschool. You wanna go back to school when you're what? Twenty five?"
"Yeah, why not?" Neji asked. "Now is the time I can do something like this. It's a great opportunity to see the world."
"You travel a lot then?" Sasuke asked and gave Neji another drink, as he had finished one again. Neji would probably be a lot easier drunk.
"Yes, every month at least." Neji said, as he accepted the drink. "Paris, London, Tokyo, Beijing, Amsterdam, it are all places you can find me a lot."
"Nice." Sasuke said. "You must have your life on track then. But what are you doing living here for?"
"I need a place to return to once in a while don't I?" Neji asked, getting a slight blush of the alcohol on his cheeks now.
"Yeah but why this place?" Sasuke asked. Good, Neji seemed like someone that got drunk easily.
"It's cheap, central and Naruto and Kiba are fine." Neji said. "My friends also live close."
"Ok." Sasuke said, nodding. He poured another beer down his throat.
"Can you get me another drink?" Neji asked, holding his glass in front of Sasuke's nose.
Sasuke snorted and took the glass.
"Am I your butler now?" He asked as he got up. He would do Neji one favour, because he was sure Neji would reward him with something if he did.
"Of course." Neji replied, giving Sasuke a slight, just a very slight, smirk. "A very charming one for that matter."
"Hmm, good answer." Sasuke said. He had this in the bag. Sasuke went to get a drink and then came back, handing it to Neji when he sat down.
"So, you think I'm charming then?" He grinned at Neji.
"Oh come on, you don't need to be told you're good looking." Neji said as he drank some of his drink.
"No I don't, but it's still nice to hear. Especially from someone as pretty as yourself." Sasuke said. He could feel the alcohol kicking in now as well.
"You're really original." Neji commented. Within a few seconds, he put his glass down on the table, now empty. He then leaned back, looking at Sasuke with a challenging expression on his face. In the mean time, Kiba left the couch to talk to Naruto.
"So what would you do if 'someone' tried to kiss you right now?" Sasuke asked smirking.
"Then someone would get a hit in the middle of his face." Neji said, slightly smirking too. "But if you would do it, it would be fine." Sasuke immediately leaned over Neji with one arm and kissed him full on the lips. This evening was gonna be fun after all.
Neji let out a slight moan as he kissed Sasuke back and pulled Sasuke slightly closer. At the other side of the room Kiba was staring at the two, mouth open. As well were some other people.
Sasuke grabbed Neji's head with the hand he wasn't leaning on. He deepened the kiss and him being drunk made the kiss rough immediately.
Neji opened his mouth and allowed Sasuke's tongue to slip in, before he started to explore the other's mouth too. Even though he was drunk, he could still tease, right?
Sasuke held a battle for dominance with Neji, one he could easily win, but he let Neji believe that he had a chance. He then pushed his tongue in Neji's mouth and started kissing him heavily. Neji was good at this.
Neji kissed Sasuke a little longer, before breaking the kiss.
"You're the best kisser I met so far." He then said.
"Good, then don't ruin it." Sasuke said and pulled Neji close again, kissing him once more.
Neji now pushed Sasuke away from him.
"That's all you get for tonight." He said. "If you may excuse me now, I'm going to bed. Wouldn't want the companies to get a bad impression of me during my casting tomorrow." He stood now, gave Sasuke a teasing smirk, and then left the room.
Sasuke let out a laugh as he rubbed his bottom lip. This guy was really something. It was sad the guy went already, but tomorrow was a new day. And he would kiss Neji again, he was sure of that.
