A/N: Ah, here we are. The chapter you've all been waiting for. So without further ado...

Fit To Be Tied

Chapter Two

Restaurant Mayhem

Naruto sat in the restaurant, idly tapping his fingers against the counter top as he waited for Sasuke to join him. Today was the first day of Operation: Make Sasuke Jealous. Phase One. Now all he needed was the target and his...accomplice. Naruto chuckled evilly at the thought. Who would have thought Neji of all people would have agreed to help him with something like this. Ah well, the world works in mysterious ways and all that.

A familiar presence interrupted his thoughts on evil schemes and world domination. (First Sasuke, and then the world. Hee hee hee.) Looking up into the black eyes of his love, he smirked. Mentally of course. The first part of his plan was a success. Smiling up at him, he greeted Sasuke with his usual cheery hello. All the while thinking: You have know idea what's in store for you mister. (Insert evil laugh)

Sasuke looked at Naruto's face and felt a flicker of unease go down his spine. There was something ominous about that innocently smiling face. Shrugging it off, Sasuke took his seat next to the blonde. It was probably nothing.

The dinner started off normal enough. They ordered their food, exchanged banter barely hidden as insults and talked of their day. Yeah, perfectly normal. A nice dinner for the two of them. One that wasn't Naruto's favorite Ramen stand. Though this one did have Ramen. I guess you could call it a compromise. This way they both could get something they would enjoy.

Yes, it was a nice pleasant dinner. Until he showed up.

Sasuke knew the moment that white eyed freak entered restaurant. Now Sasuke wasn't exactly a people person; there were few people he tolerated and even fewer he liked. That's not to say that he disliked a lot of people either. He was mostly indifferent. But he could say without out a doubt that he absolutely detested, loathed and just all around did not like Neji Hyuga.

At all.

Which is why when said Hyuga appeared, he prayed with all his might. (Something he is not wont to do) Don't come over here, don't come over here, don't come over here, don't come...Damn it.

Sasuke sent his best death glare when Neji not only came over but took a seat next to Naruto. His Naruto. Grrrr...

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Neji asked politely.

Yes!

"Nope," answered a grinning Naruto.

Kuso!

"Hey Neji." Naruto's grin, if anything, got bigger. Sasuke tried not to growl.

"Naruto," Neji smiled. Then he turned towards Sasuke finally acknowledging his presence with a nod. "Uchiha."

Sasuke said nothing, merely gave the smallest of nods back. The atmosphere become tense for a moment as white eyes met black in a silent challenge of stares. He really had no idea how long this would have gone on if a waitress bringing their drinks hadn't interrupted.

Reluctantly turning his attention away from staring Neji down, Sasuke took his drink. He should have ordered something alcoholic.

The next few minutes were spent with Naruto happily chatting away to a much too avidly listening Neji while Sasuke fumed silently. He really should have ordered something alcoholic. Who cares if he's not of age yet.

It was when Neji leaned a little to close to Naruto for Sasuke's comfort that Sasuke just about snapped. That white eyed freak was flirting with Naruto! It was so obvious! Murderous intent filled him. Neji knew, he knew that Naruto was with him, yet still he hit on him. He needed a way to reaffirm that Naruto was indeed his. A way to show Neji this fact. And he had to do it without letting Naruto in on what he was doing.

Then an idea hit him. Perfect. Well, he was considered a genius.

Slowly leaning back in his chair, Sasuke ever so casually draped an arm around Naruto's waist. Naruto didn't even pause in his talking. Success.

Glancing at Neji out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the long haired boy was giving him a dirty look. Ha. Sasuke let a little smirk adorn his face. Neji looked even more pissed off. Hey, this was kind of fun.

Relaxing for the first time since Neji showed up, Sasuke thought that maybe this dinner wouldn't be so bad. Neji or no Neji.

Okay, scratch that thought. This dinner was down right horrible. Neji was completely ignoring Sasuke's entire presence; now focused entirely on Naruto. And Naruto, not used to having so much undivided attention, was happily chatting away. Not that he blamed Naruto or anything. (1) No, Naruto was just being Naruto. And he couldn't blame him for that. After all, it was one of the reason's he loved him so much.

No, it was all Hyuga's fault. Damn him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji was having way too much fun. Seriously, getting a rise out of Sasuke was just too easy. Especially when Naruto was involved. It was like all that self control that made Sasuke known as a cold deadly fighter went right out the window when the little blonde was added to the mix. Naruto was right, Sasuke really didn't act like himself when jealous.

He should have done this sooner.

Neji eyed the arm that Sasuke still had wrapped around Naruto. The very arm that he currently wanted to rip off but refrained for Naruto's sake. Hmm, maybe it was time to take things up a notch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke felt his anger rising higher and higher. Neji kept saying things, suggestive things. They weren't really blatant, he was sure Naruto didn't even notice anything, but Sasuke caught them. And it was pissing him off.

Naruto was his! What did he have to do to get people to understand that fact! Wasn't Neji supposed to be smart? If so, why wasn't he smart enough to back off!

His anger building, Sasuke didn't realize that his arm around Naruto was tightening until a pain filled noise drew his attention.

"Sasuke!" The blonde gasped, pain obvious in his voice.

Immediately, Sasuke released him. He hadn't meant to hurt him. He would never hurt Naruto intentionally.

Naruto was currently looking at him, slightly worried. "Are you okay Sasuke?"

Looking down into bright blue eyes that were gazing at him with so much concern Sasuke had to shake himself before he got lost in those gem like depths. "Fine."

Naruto eyed him for another moment, as if unsure about the truth of that statement, before seeming to except it. "Well, next time try to not squeeze me so hard. I like to breath you know."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, glad to be back on more comfortable territory. Especially since a certain annoying someone was watching the entire interaction with unveiled amusement in his eyes. "Whatever."

Naruto simply hmphed before turning back to his conversation with Neji. And Sasuke was left with a not so pleasant realization.

His method of showing that Naruto was with him was no longer valid. He couldn't put his arm back, he doubted that Naruto would even let him. And he couldn't think of anything else he could do right now that wouldn't be rather obvious. Drat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji was feeling rather proud of himself. He had gotten Sasuke to remove his arm. True, it had been indirectly, but he had done it. Though he wasn't glad that Naruto had gotten hurt. No good Uchiha. Well, at least he knew he was succeeding in his part of the plan.

Smirking inwardly, he turned his attention back to the chattering Naruto. Gazing at the boy as he spoke, features animated and so full of life, he had to hold back a sigh. Naruto really was too cute for his own good. Even if he didn't realize it.

Mentally shaking his head, Neji forcefully dragged himself from such thoughts. He instead decided to concentrate on the task before him. Make Sasuke jealous and just all around piss him off. And what an enjoyable task it was.

But what to do next?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clink

Sasuke as carefully as he could set his drink on the table. Yes, very carefully. Even though what he really wanted to do was smash it into itty bitty indicipherable pieces. Preferablly against Neji's head.

Speaking of Neji, he was a little too close to Naruto at the moment. He felt the Sharingan beginning to form, but willed it down. This was not the time to use that.

At least not yet.

Taking a deep but silent breath, Sasuke tried to calm himself. Calm, calm, he must remain calm. The dinner is almost over now. Just a while more. Ten maybe fifteen minutes. He could wait fifteen minutes right? Right. He was strong. He would prove that he was strong.

Yes, calm. Now was not the time too...

DID NEJI JUST CARESS NARUTO"S ARM!

Slight pain and wetness on his hand made him look down. Oh look at that, he broke his glass. That's not good.

"Sasuke? Sasuke, hey are you okay? Sasuke!"

Sasuke calmly looked into blue eyes. Yes calmly. Breaking glass had a calming effect on him you see. "Fine Dobe."

"Don't worry about him Naruto, he just doesn't have very good...control." A voice cut in, smirk obvious in his tone.

Well, there goes his calm. Damn it.

Ignoring the waitress who was fussing over the his cut hand, Sasuke quietly plotted torture. Hmmm, now what would be the most effective way to...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji was finding it harder and harder to contain the smirk that was just dying to get out. Sasuke had actually broken his glass. Priceless. It seemed that the way to piss him of the most was by actually touching Naruto.

How interesting...

Assessing the current situation, Neji found a plan forming.

Slowly, he leaned closer to the blonde, effectively cutting off what he was saying.

"Uh, Neji? What's up?" Naruto's eyes held nothing but curiosity.

"You have something on your face. Here, let me get it for you." And he carefully reached up with one hand and stoked Naruto's cheek, cleaning off the made up something that was on him. Letting his hand linger a little longer than necessary, Neji finally pulled back to meet the eyes of his rival.

The very red and black coma spinning eyes of his rival.

Well, it seems he finally made Sasuke pull out the Sharingan. However, that wasn't the most interesting thing.

And he thought it was funny when Sasuke had broken the glass...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sasuke! Sasuke! SASUKE?"

Snapping out of his rage induced stupor, the black haired boy turned red eyes to the blue eyed boy.

"Sasuke, you...why, What the hell!"

Sasuke blinked. What had Naruto so freaked out? Following the blonde's line of sight, Sasuke looked down at his hands.

His hands that had completely demolished a big chunk of the table in front of him.

Oh...

Well shit.

Prying his fingers off the now destroyed wood, Sasuke looked up to see a very irate manager coming towards him. An manager that was now complaining about damage to restaurant property and paying for said damages.

Sasuke turned Sharingan transformed eyes on him.

The man shut up.

However, that was the last straw. He had had it. No more. He and Naruto were leaving. NOW. Grabbing Naruto, he stalked out of the restaurant, purposefully ignoring Neji's smirk. Bastard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside of the restaurant and away from Neji, Sasuke felt himself calming down. Somewhat. Stopping, he looked at the perplexed looking Naruto.

His Naruto. His Dobe. His blonde. His love. HIS.

"What's wrong Sasuke? Sasuke?"

Sasuke didn't answer. No, he's too busy grabbing Naruto and kissing him senseless. And Naruto? He barely had time to give a surprised meep before he was grabbed.

At the first touch of Naruto's lip on his own, he felt himself calm even more. When Naruto practically melted in his arms, he felt even better. Slowing down the kiss, safe with the knowledge that Naruto probably didn't even remember Neji's name at this point, Sasuke gave a few more soft parting kisses before pulling away completely.

A breathless Naruto looked up at him from within the circle of his arms. "W, what was that for?"

Removing his arms and stepping back, Sasuke answered with a simple, "Just felt like it," before turning and walking away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto watched the retreating back of his boyfriend in a slight daze. Slowly, he brought his fingers up to his lips.

Wow.

Blinking a few times, he felt a small smile cross his face.

That was one hell of a kiss.

Making Sasuke jealous was so much fun!

Hands behind his head and humming happily to himself, Naruto followed after his love. He wasn't in too much of a hurry. After all, Sasuke would soon realize that Naruto wasn't with him and come back.

Until then, Naruto was free to daydream about wonderful kisses and cutely jealous Sasuke's.

Was it weird that Sasuke's jealousy, in some ways, made him feel even more loved?

...Nah.

TBC

------------

(1) Kind of ironic isn't it? Considering, that well, it kind of is Naruto's fault. Sneaky brat that he is. :P

In a way, Sasuke isn't really acting Jealous so much as protective. Jealousy usually leads to anger towards the person they like as well. So I guess what he's feeling is more like jealousy/protectiveness with a dash of possessiveness thrown in. The perfect mix. ;D

A/N: Well there you go. I hoped you all liked it. It was way harder to write than I had anticipated. Hopefully it turned out okay.

Thank you to all who reviewed. It was your reviews that made me determined to not only write this, but to make it longer than the first chapter. :P

Please review if you want more of a jealous Sasuke! (And I know you do. .) And if you could, tell me specific things you like or dislike so I know for future reference. That helps a lot. Please and thank you!
