Implications
"Are you dating him?" I could feel the jealousy in my voice as if it were tangible between us. I didn't think he would notice it. I was mistaken for as soon as the last word left my mouth he stopped abruptly looking me up and down a confused look in his eyes for a second as he stopped in the middle of the walkway to stare at me.
"Are you jealous?" He asked as if it were nothing, like he hadn't just ripped my heart out with his confirmation. Still his expression was innocent and sincere like he had had no idea of my interest.
"Did you not know I would be?" I couldn't stop the hatefulness from entering my voice. He was supposed to me mine.
"I just never realized you liked them." He looked ashamed and apologetic as he once more glanced over my body language reading my anger easily after years of companionship between us.
"It's not them I like but you." I hissed angry he could ever think I'd like that...That man stealing Demon! It would have been comical how red his face turned if I weren't near ripping his body apart in the same way he had my heart so no one could have him. But I knew I would never be able to harm a loved one. Yet even if I could have ever lifted a finger in harm to him, that Demon was there in the shadows watching protecting what was 'theirs'. What should have been mine.
"I... I..." He stuttered completely shocked and still an adorable shade of red I had to shake that thought away as he looked me in the eyes a wider blush over taking his ears this time. With a deep breath and a short pause he bowed to me near screaming his feelings. "I'm sorry I never knew... But I am in love with someone else..."
He probably would have said more had he not felt everyone around us staring I might have blushed if it were the sort of thing I would do after being rejected in front of so many people. Instead I turned away from him a short and curt. "I understand." Falling from my lips as I took a step away I knew he'd follow if I didn't say anything. "I want to be alone for awhile." A few steps later I felt the Demon descend to comfort him and I smiled in a melancholy sort of way as I went to seek my own comfort thinking maybe one day I would come to love them too.

A/N: I never mentioned names in the fanfic. That is because if you can make the yoai pairing work go for it. I originally wrote it as one sided Neji/Lee and Gaara/Lee with a side note of Neji/TenTen at the end. Doesn't mean it has to be that way to you. Well let me know your thoughts?
