What Happened to: 'Together Forever'?
-
Neji tiredly walked around Sasuke's apartment, finding that all the lights were off and all the curtains closed. It was eight in the morning and Sasuke wasn't assigned any missions this week. As Neji toured around the house, lazily dropping his ANBU mask and gloves onto the table, he had decided to surprise Sasuke by sneaking into the bedroom and just lie down with the sleeping prince. Slowly creeping, Neji found something much more than a sleeping Sasuke. Much more.
"Sasuke…" Neji softly whispered, not even able to hear his own voice, " Naruto…?"
Sasuke alertly snapped his eyes open, quickly sitting up from the bed, looking panicked. The burnette saw Sasuke completely shirtless, possiblly naked under the layers of bed sheets. It was the same thing for the sleeping blond boy next to the Uchiha.
Holding back the waterworks Neji did not want to show, he bit his lower lip, hard. He covered his eyes with his with his right forearm. Not wanting to see any of this.
"Neji…please, before you could say anything baby…please don't---I can explain," Sasuke said, gripping the sheets beside him.
" I--I--I can't look at any of this, " Neji began to rush off, hearing Sasuke call out for him. But by then, Neji was out of the apartment.

Naruto awoke to the yell of Sasuke's voice. The blonde didn't feel like sitting up at the moment,. within seconds, he could feel Sasuke getting off the bed and could hear the rustle of clothes being rashly put on. By that, Naruto immediately sat up, frowning.
"Why in hell are you changing already? Are you really that eager to get out or something?" He said, rubbing his eyes.
Sasuke didn't reply at first, but could only glance at Naruto before even putting on a shirt. He had mumbled something about 'Neji seeing us' and the raven haired boy ran out of the bedroom, leaving a very annoyed blonde. But then he thought about what Sasuke had said.
Did Neji really see us?
---
He practically ran out of the house, looking for the crying brunette. Sasuke began to curse under his breath, while scattering himself around the town. He finally caught up with Neji, who was on top of the Hokage Mountain, sitting in a corner, rubbing his tears away. As fast as lightening could hit, Neji turned around, glaring at Sasuke. He still had tears running down his face, but he didn't care anymore.
"What the hell do you want now Sasuke? Are you really going to tell me that I had found you and Naruto sleeping together by mistake?" The Hyuuga hissed icily.
"…No…" Was all Sasuke could mutter to say. He couldn't think on how to explain the situation. Mind completely numb to the things happening around him.
"You know…Uchiha,"
Uchiha? Neji hadn't called Sasuke that ever since they were kids. And when they called each other by last name, it was only thing to make them sound tough and to idicate that no affection is wanting to be used.
"I've been thinking about all that time we spent together, how our usual weekends went, how we would just enjoy out presence among each other. And I must admit, I was pretty fucking happy. I was actually happy, " He continued, more hot eye droplets rolled slowly off Neji's flushed cheeks, " And you remember out first date right? We just walked around the local park, talking about whatever good and bad things that happened to us. You actually gave me a pink wild flower, and said I'd look pretty with a pink flower in my hair…I felt somewhat insulted since it felt like you were stating that I looked like a girl. But after than night, spending the evening with you, I couldn't stop thinking about that damn flower. I couldn't stop thinking of you. I began to laugh at myself to even think of liking another male. But as soon as we began to spend even more time with each other, I thought about that whole liking thing again decided, it doesn't seem that bad. Maybe it was just you I was attracted to."
Sasuke had listening intently, remember the same memory. He watched Neji get up on his feet and began to walk around in that little corner, staring at the stone ground.
"And then later, we…well, you know what we did. It was that one night. That one night at the Hyuuga house. My uncle found us together. When my uncle had rushed you off home, he began to scream words that I thought a human being shouldn't be saying to one another. Of course, my uncle being the old fashioned type, he shunned that whole homosexual thing. It took quite a while for my uncle to sink in. But later on he had said, I was a branch of the Hyuuga clan and branch members did not have to give off-spring. So, in his own way, he had cooled off. "
Now, Neji played with a pebble on the ground with his foot, rolling it back and forth. Sasuke had no idea that the Hyuuga family was against a relation like theirs. It amazed him. He stood their, listening to Neji speak, wanting to say something comforting, but nothing came out of the raven haired boy's mouth.
The older man continued once more, "And that whole off spring thing, I began to think, about children. Heh, as weak as it sounded, I always had this distant thought in my head of you and I actually have a child. Of course, since with all these jutsu and such these days, anything is possible right? I would walk around my room at night, looking at my abdomen, and thinking of a child that maybe one day that would grow inside of me. But, males are not able to produce off-spring, so I had forgotten about the idea. I didn't want to tell you because you might have thought that the whole idea seemed quite idiotic. I thought it was idiotic too. Me carrying a child of an Uchiha? And both parent's would be male? What in hell would that be, I thought. I wasn't only worried about that, I was worried about other things too. Like, you might not feel ready for that sort of thing or rather you would leave me because I was simply useless for a certain time being."
Sasuke could only show an expression of surprise. He wouldn't think of that whole idea being idiotic at all. It seemed quite a handful, but yet, worth trying out a thing such as male pregnancy. But what Sasuke was supirse most of all was that, Neji actually gave a thought of carrying his heir of the Uchiha clan. Did Neji really loved him more than Naruto would? His relations with Naruto were a bit rocky, they were on and off. Until Naruto couldn't bare with that type of relationship. So they had moved on, Sasuke with Neji and Naruto was to be with Sakura. Sakura knew about their relations of before and was shaky with the whole thing. She had grown more and more in love with Naruto. But… somehow…
Walking up to the suddenly silent Hyuuga, Sasuke gently put his hands on Neji shoulders, hoping that Neji might have calmed down. That wasn't the case. Neji shook Sasuke hands off his shoulders and glared again. He seemed angrier now.
"But why would you even care about that? I mean, you …you…your having a relationship Naruto now right? So, all of those stupid words I said weren't even worth saying. And crying over you isn't worth it!" Neji stuck his left hand right in front of him and removed a silver band off his middle finger. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But he just threw the ring at Sasuke, who caught it, and looked straight at the Hyuuga. Puzzled now.
"Before the day I had left for my mission, you had made me the happiest I have ever been. I was struck by those words of being together forever and that we would always take care of each other. I can't even believe we had sex that night, because I was so fucking happy. And the day I left, I told Tenten about the who evening you had planned and that were to be engaged. She was ecstatic and almost forgot about the whole mission. I was the same way. But happier. I even spent my nights looking at the fucking ring thinking about you and I. When you tell me 'Together Forever' Sasuke, don't go off running to other people and sleeping with them. Your not telling me that you want us to be together."
And with that, Sasuke could only see Neji disappearing into thin air, leaving the Uchiha with a silver band and tears in his eyes.
"What in hell have I done to drive us distant, when just two weeks ago were walking together, not even knowing where in hell we where off to." Sasuke said to himself as he collapsed down to the ground, feeling all sorts inside his heart.
TBC.
