Neji felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. It was unusual for him to get a text from someone other than Sai or Haku. Since they were all al sitting AP Chemistry class together, there was no way it was one of them. 'Hinata maybe' Neji thought as he pulled his phone from his pocket.

From: 001-555-5353

Looking girly as ever Hyuga

Neji frowned at the text. He was beginning to wonder how so many random idiots were getting his number. Now that it was public knowledge that he was gay, he often received silly texts from unknown people. His two friends Sai and Haku were also gay. They often got a lot of flak from a lot of guys at the school because despite being gay all the girls and even some guys still loved them.

Go fuck yourself loser

Neji then put his phone back in his pocket. He hated the immaturity of high school students. Yeah he had feminine qualities but he was in no way a girl.

"You ok Neji?" Haku asked.

"Yeah just can't wait until school is over."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji opened his locker to get his books for his next class. Haku and Sai were going on about some new student at the school. Not that he really cared much for new students, but this one really got the interest of his friends. That's just something that doesn't happen often.

"Neji have you seen him?" Hake asked.

"No, I haven't noticed anyone new. Is he in our grade?"

"No, he's in the same year as me," Sai answered. "I heard he's from a rich family."

"He is totally handsome too. I wonder if he's into guys…." Hake mused out loud.

Now this was most defiantly new. There were a lot of nice looking guys at the school, but they never talked about any of them. Well except this one guy, but he graduated two years ago.

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

I'd much rather do you instead…

Neji frowned. Who hell was this texting him? He instantly thought it was some random fangirl now since the person was talking about 'doing him.'

"Do either of you guys recognize this number?" Neji asked showing them both the text.

"Nope," they both answered at the same time.

"Maybe you have a new admirer," Haku said.

"I hope not," Neji mumble as they headed towards their art class. Neji didn't mind this class too much. The teacher was nice enough and not to mention that Haku was in-love with him.

Once Neji was in his seat he texted the number back.

To: 000-555-5353

Who is this?

"Alright class, we have a new student joining us this year." Mr. Yamato motioned for the new student to enter the room. Neji couldn't help the surprise look on his face. "Sasuke," he whispered.

"Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Sasuke stood at the front of the class looking at nothing or no one in particular. "Sasuke Uchiha," was all he said before looking back at the teacher.

"A man of few words I see. Why don't you take a seat at table 2 red in the back?"

Neji heart began to beat faster. That's was his, Haku, and Sai's table. But that what caught his attention the most was how much the Uchiha had changed since middle school. It was weird he didn't know that the Uchiha would be moving back to the city since they often shared emails and IMs.

The thing he noticed most about the Uchiha was his height. There was no question the he was one of the most handsome guys he'd ever seen. He had always been extremely good looking, but he was so tall now. He had to be at least 6'1. Neji could remember referring to the Uchiha as squirt when growing up. Sasuke had always been shorter than everyone else.

Without saying a word Sasuke sat right next to Neji who was all of sudden feeling a little flustered. It was an awkward silence at the table. The group didn't even hear the assignment for the day.

"Soooo….I'm Haku and these are my friends Sai and Neji."

"It's nice to meet you," Sai said putting on his best smile.

Neji on the other hand just stared at Sasuke. "It's not nice to stare Hyuga." Neji just frowned and folded his arms.

"Do you guys know each other?" Sai asked.

"Yeah, we're actually pretty close," Neji answered with a small blush.

"Oh is this 'that' Sasuke?" Haku asked.

Neji frowned and shook his head signally for Haku to shut up. He had told his friends about an old crush he talked to every now and then.

"What do you mean 'that' Sasuke?"

"He doesn't mean anything about it Uchiha," Neji answered quickly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji couldn't wait to class was over. He didn't even wait on Sai and Haku before he exited the school. School had been in for only two weeks and he was already being tortured by the fact Sasuke was back. Not that he wasn't happy to see the Uchiha; it was just his emotions were going crazy every time he was near him.

From: 001-555-5353

Just an admirer of your beauty is all.

Neji sighed and rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe this was happening again. He didn't mind the kind gestures from others but he hated when they texted or call him. He decided not to text back this time.

"Need a ride?"

Neji stopped walking and saw a black car at his side. Normally he would ignore offers to take him home but he knew there was no ignoring him. "Fine," Neji answered walking around to the passenger side.

The ride was quiet. Neji couldn't help but look at Sasuke. Now that he really got the chance to look at him he couldn't hide a blush that was forming on his face.

"So, how you been?" Sasuke asked.

"Fine I suppose."

"So those guys in art are your friends?"

Neji just nodded his head and looked out the window. "Do you even know where I live?"

"My brother told me. He owns the apartment complex."

"That's right…."

It was quiet again and Neji was feeling a little weird around Sasuke. He could admit that he was in-love with the younger male when they were growing up. It was one of the reasons he always picked on him. He knew Sasuke wasn't gay so there was no need for him to even get his hopes up. And plus the Uchiha was most defiantly the dominant type and so was he. At least he thought he was anyway.

"You hungry?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, but I have something at home." Neji really wouldn't mind going out with Sasuke, but he wasn't ready to acknowledge his new feelings for the Uchiha just yet.

Sasuke didn't say anything else for the rest of the ride.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji sighed. It was three months into the school year. In his mind it was just that miuch closer to being over with.

From: 001-555-5353

You look nice today. I really like when you wear your hair up

Neji couldn't help but smile. He had grown use to whoever this was texting him every day. He had tried to trace the number but got nothing. Neji had concluded that whoever this was attended school with him and was most likely male.

To: 001-555-5353

Yeah, well I wish I knew what you looked like so I could compliment you too.

Neji would often send hints that he wanted to meet this secret admirer, but nothing has been set up yet between them.

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

Haha just know I look as good as you think I do.

Neji couldn't help but smile. He had always imagined that the guy would be Sasuke. He had tried so many times to catch Sasuke texting him or at least get a peek at his phone.

To: 001-555-5353

Sure you do…so at least describe yourself to me

Neji didn't get a text back right away so he only assumed maybe he was avoiding the question. No matter though, because Neji was sure he would text back soon enough.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Uchiha…"

"Hyuga…."

"Um Haku and Sai…"

"Oh Neji I just remembered, I know where I want to go on date night." This got the attention of Sasuke. He almost couldn't hold back a glare. "There's an art expo tonight," Sai said.

"Sounds good," Neji replied pulling out his cell.

To: 001-555-3535

Ask me anything and I'll answer it as long as you describe yourself to me.

The class went by in a blur for Neji because he was anxiously awaiting his phone to vibrate. There was one thing he did notice though, and it was the tension between Sasuke and Sai. To be honest the two never spoke directly to each other. They talked around one another whenever they were all together. Neji just couldn't figure out where all the hostility came from.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji sat on the bench outside the school with Sai. Haku was getting extra help from Mr. Yamato. That was pretty much code for Haku flirting with the teacher.

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

How tall are you?

Neji happily texted back

To: 001-555-5353

5'6. Now it's your turn.

"So who is this new guy you're texting?" Sai asked.

"I'm not really sure. He hasn't told me his name or anything."

Sai gave him a confused look. "That's odd."

"Yeah, and speaking of odd. What's up with you and Sasuke?"

Sai shrugged and continued to draw. "He likes you."

Neji blushed. "Wh-what?!"

"The Uchiha likes you and you like him."

"No I don't." Neji knew Sai could tell he was lying. But there was no way Sasuke could like him. He wasn't even gay, was he?

"So you don't find him attractive?" Sai asked.

"Sure, anyone with eyes can see he's attractive, but he's not my type. I prefer someone more submissive."

This time Sai laughed. Neji gave him a weird look because Sai never laughed out loud. "What's so funny?"

"You," Sai said wiping his eyes. "You're textbook uke Neji."

"No-" Neji tried to protest.

Sai held up his hand. "Yes you are. I would know. You hang around me and Haku, and no one is gayer than Haku. He wears girl's clothing and crop tops are a must in my wardrobe."

"What are you getting at?" Neji asked. He hated when Sai read too much because he then in return knew way too much for Neji's liking.

"What I'm trying to say is that you want to be dominated and not just by anyone. You want Sasuke and I'm going to help him confess to you."

Neji folded his arms. There was no need on denying it now. "Do tell how you intend to do that."

"Simple, the Uchiha is having a get together tonight remember…"

Neji face palmed. That was why Sasuke was glaring at Sai in art class. He had completely forgotten about the party. Sai just smiled.

"He thinks you're going to miss the party. So when we show up together it'll get his attention." Neji shook his head because he didn't see Sasuke saying anything about the two of them being together. "Trust me Neji, he will respond."

Neji shrugged. "If you say so."

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

Wow Chibi you are small aren't you?

Neji blushed at being called small. No has ever said that to his face at least. He didn't take kindly to being called Chibi though.

To: 001-555-3535

Chibi huh?

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

I think that's what I'll call you from now on. Chibi

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One thing Neji realized upon entering the Uchiha household is that they knew how to throw a party. It almost looked like he walked inside a nice club instead of someone's home. Neji then saw Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, standing off to the side with a group of his friends. He couldn't help but blush a little when Itachi wink at him and motioned for him to come over.

Neji, Sai, and Haku made their way towards the group of older guys.

"Never expected to see you here Neji," Itachi said. Neji just gave a polite nod to everyone in the group. "Where are my manners? This is Sasori and Hidan."

"Nice to meet you all," Neji and Haku said at the same time.

"Wow Itachi you know some fucking hot chicks," Hidan yelled throwing his arm around Haku's shoulder. "How bout' we dance sweet cheeks."

"Um o-ok sure, but I'm not a-"Before Haku could finish what he was going to say Hidan pulled off to the dance floor.

"He knows Haku's a boy right," Neji asked. Itachi just shrugged.

"He'll fuck anything with legs if it'll let him. By the way where is Hinata?"

"Oh see is coming with her friend Ino," Neji answered.

"Dance with me."

Everyone turned to see Sai holding on to Sasori's arm. Neji couldn't believe Sai was being so forward. Then again it shouldn't have surprised him at all. Sai was always one to speak his mind.

"I don't dance…"

Sai gave Sasori a small smile. "Me neither."

Neji stood awkwardly next to elder Uchiha. Itachi was a lot like Sasuke as far as looks goes to Neji, but their personalities though similar were at the same time vastly different.

Neji cleared his throat. "So where's our host?" asked loud enough so Itachi could hear him over the music.

"Out there," Itachi answered pointing to the middle of the crowd.

"Why aren't you dancing?" Neji asked.

"You offering?"

Neji blushed and looked away. "If you really want to…"

"I do," Itachi answered taking Neji's hand in his. It was funny to Itachi to see Neji blushing so. He was sure this would get his brother's attention.

Sasuke hadn't noticed Neji come in but he did notice the way his brother was grinding up against him. Sasuke was never known for his jealous ways, but he did have a jealous streak especially when it came to Itachi. Sasuke slightly pushed the red head and strawberry blond away from him as he walked away.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji walked out of the party to get some fresh air. He had enjoyed his little dance with Itachi. He already knew Itachi was just keeping him company because as soon as Ino and Hinata arrived he excused himself. He knew Itachi had a thing for his younger cousin.

From: 001-555-5353

Having fun Chibi? I didn't know you could move like that.

Neji looked back inside to see if he could see anyone watching him. He didn't notice anything that stood out, but it meant that his text buddy was most definitely at the party. "This is my chance," Neji said texting back.

To: 001-555-5353

How about I show you personally how good I can move

Neji looked around and to see if anyone would pick up their phone. He saw three guys pick up their phone and he didn't recognize any of them.

*buzz buzz*

From: 001-555-5353

Someone's feeling a bit bold aren't we Chibi…

Neji rolled his eyes. He wasn't getting anywhere with this. He was going to have to think of something else. Either his admirer was someone he already knew or someone that was probably playing a cruel joke on him.

To: 001-555-5353

Something like that

Neji picked up his phone and called the number. This was something new for him. He never called numbers of people he didn't know, but he needed to put an end to this little game. As he walked around he tried to see if anyone was trying to answer their phone. Neji cursed when he got the answering machine. Maybe this guy was avoiding him now.

"Looking for someone Hyuga?"

"As a matter of fact I am Uchiha," Neji answered.

"Who might that be?" Sasuke asked.

"Where's your room?" Neji asked ignoring Sasuke's question.

"Uh upstairs, third door on the left. You ok?"

Neji just nodded and walked away.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Neji sat in a chair in Sasuke's room. He needed to get away from all the noise and chaos of the party down stairs. He didn't mean to blow Sasuke off but he needed to think. He decided since it was quiet in Sasuke's room he try and call the number back. He looked around when he heard soft music playing. He stood and walked to Sasuke's dresser. He dropped his phone we he saw his number pop on the screen.

"Sasuke…"

Neji picked up the phone and opened the text messages and they were all from him. "Chibi, Chibi, Chibi, Chibi, fucking Chibi!" Neji yelled slamming the phone down. Now he knew his worst nightmares were coming true. This must have been some sort of joke Sasuke and his stupid friends were playing.

"Maybe, maybe that's why they would all laugh when I came around or stop talking all together." Neji sat down on the floor beside Sasuke's bed. He wanted it to be Sasuke so bad and now that he knows it him he isn't so sure anymore.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sasuke frowned at the steps when Neji didn't come back down. He had been up there longer than he expected. "Hey I'll be back," he told Naruto and Kiba. "And don't break shit while I'm gone."

"Yeah whatever!" Naruto yelled behind him.

Sasuke opened his room door and noticed the lights were still out. Hyuga…" he called out softly as he walked into his room. He then saw Neji sitting on the floor. "Hey, you ok?"

Neji didn't look at him. "Why did you do it?"

"Do what?" Sasuke asked.

"Pretend to be someone who liked me that's what!" Neji yelled tossing Sasuke his phone. "Was it some sort of bet you had going with your friends? Trick the girly gay guy. I bet yall got a good laugh out of that!"

Sasuke was stunned silent. He didn't want Neji to find out like this. "I need you to calm down. I can explain everything."

"I am calm!" Neji hissed. "I'm leaving and whatever bet you had going on you can tell your friends you won."

"Neji it wasn't like that!"

Neji flinched a little at Sasuke's voice. He had never heard the Uchiha get loud in all his years of knowing him. "It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does."

"Why?" Neji asked softly looking away from Sasuke.

"Because I like you…" Sasuke mumbled.

"You l-like me?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I'm not saying it again. Look the only reason I didn't come to you at first was because I wasn't sure what it was I felt for you." Sasuke sat down on his bed. "At first I was going to tease you a bit and then tell you it was me, but then something changed after finally seeing you…"

"So you're gay?"

"I mean, we don't have to put labels on it or whatever." Neji could almost laugh because the Sasuke Uchiha was blushing.

"So you're a closet gay."

"Ok Hyuga, you're pushing it."

This time Neji did laugh. He couldn't believe it. "So you're coming out to me then?"

"Call whatever you want. I just wasn't ready for all the extra attention I would get for trying to date you. Not mention my father would kill me…"

Neji sat next to Sasuke. He could understand his family not approving of his preference. That was the main reason he was living in his own apartment. After his father's accident, things weren't working well living with his uncle.

"I can understand you being afraid."

"Hey, whoa wait. I never said I was afraid. I just don't like to complicate my life more than it already is," Sasuke replied.

"Well I was." Neji sighed. "I've only ever been on one date. I was too afraid to be with someone. Ashamed really; all those judging eyes everywhere you go. I never really thought it was worth it you know…Having everyone look down on you for what you are. I had already accepted the fact that I was destined to be alone and I'm ok with that…."

"Destiny is a funny thing don't you think?" Sasuke asked.

"Hmm, how so?"

"If you asked me five years ago I would tell you that it was my destiny to be the world's biggest rock star. Have all the girls and money. Yet look where I am now." Neji smiled a little at what Sasuke said. "I mean I have the money part down, but…" He put his hand over Neji's. "You know." Sasuke blushed a little and frowned.

"No, sorry I don't."

"Well I'm not going to say it," Sasuke said pouting a little. "I will say that I want to take you out tomorrow night."

Neji blushed. "Um, ok I guess. And if you want to keep it a secret…"

"No more secrets, ok Chibi?"

Neji smiled. "Ok."

Sasuke shifted a bit then stood up. He wasn't one for mushy moments and he was feeling a little wired; but not in a bad way.

"There's something I've wanted to do for a long time."

Sasuke looked down at Neji. "No time like the present."

Neji grabbed Sasuke's face and pulled him in for a kiss. It was sweet and simple. Just the pressing of their lips. "God, it feels good to get that over with…" Neji whispered.

Sasuke licked his lips causing Neji to blush. "Come on Chibi, it's time to show you off," Sasuke said wrapping his arm around Neji's waist.

"So what does this make us?" Neji asked.

"You're my girlfriend now…."

"I'm no one's girlfri-" Neji was cut off by a kiss form Sasuke.

"You know, you talk way too much sometimes Hyuga."
