I can't tell him. Neji thought. I can't even tell TenTen. God, what would she say?
She'd support was the problem.
Neji didn't want friendly support from a heterosexual girl who throws nothing but knives at people, for goodness's sake!
And Hinata would be the same as TenTen.
Neji thought. He could tell Lee. Yeah, Lee! Lee would be trustworthy. The only issue is, he'd probably tell Guy-sensei, but that was okay because Neji didn't want to tell him himself.
Except when he finally told him… would he be able to tell him how he feels about him, too?
That was too irrelevant. I'm gay was different from I like you. Wasn't it?
Okay, if Lee was the typical straight guy, he'd take it that way.
"Focusing on romance is only going to make me a failure." Neji mumbled to himself. "But loneliness will, too. I guess I could tell him just to be honest. But what would I say? 'Hey, Lee, I'm gay, and I like you a lot…'?"
"Wow, Neji. I am surprised. I have to admit that I did not think you would like me. Or that I would be so happy to hear it." Lee was, of course, right behind Neji.
Neji spun around so fast he was scared he'd release the Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation.
"What are you doing here, in my room?" Neji accused.
"That is not important. But if you must know, I was summoning you to train with me." Rock Lee gave his usual. "And. Neji. Do not be afraid."
He placed his hand on Neji's shoulder.
"I am here for you."
A/N: That was kinda shitty. Oh, well. I like it.
