NejiShika
Chicken pox
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto … again
--
Neji took Hinata home soon after I hid myself under the covers. I don't know how I'm going to explain this giant … thing on my neck now though, hopefully I can keep my neck covered with my hand for the entire time it lasts, or say it's a bruise of some sort, though that wouldn't be lying. I can't see many people getting bruises on their necks though. Luckily, I only have one, seeing as Hinata came in before I could get another; though I do hope she's got enough decency to stay quiet about the whole matter. I've been awake for a while now, though there's not much to do, mum brought my breakfast, she cleaned it up and asked where Neji was. She obviously not that mad at him anymore. Troublesome women…
"Shikamaru dear, Neji's here!" I hear her sing down the hall. I look up at the door as the object of quite a few of my thoughts enters. Troublesome, idiotic, perverted Hyuuga. He sees me holding my neck and grins. I just glare at him.
"Hello Shika-kun!" I'm not talking to you anymore. "Oh come on, don't be like that! You asked for it really," he's only going to get a glare out of me. He's got this stupid grin on his face that makes him look like Kakashi with that orange Icha Icha Paradise book.
"Go away," he laughs at that, throwing his head back. How can he be so unbelievably troublesome, yet unbelievably sexy at the same time?
…rewind, I didn't just think that, did I?
"Hello, Nara, you still there?" I blink to see two white orbs looking at me. Though I'm not sure if it's the light, they look slightly lilac… "Nara…earth to Shikamaru, do you read me?"
"Huh?" he chuckles, shaking his head. I can't help but blush. "What is it now?"
"I was saying about how Hinata-sama said that she wouldn't say anything about yesterday," he said. Yesterday…I'm not sure we're on the same page about yesterday, is it just me, or is this like a game.
"Please, don't talk about yesterday," I say, rubbing my forehead. He laughs again.
"Aw, not shy that you're loosing to me, are you?" I glare profoundly at him, making him laugh again.
"Who said I was loosing?" though it's kind of obvious. I mean, he's managed to somehow get me speechless twice. He pats my leg and shakes his head, leaning over curiously to see my neck. "No, you of all people are not looking at my neck."
"Come on Shika-kun, let me see my own work," I got back to glaring at him. He stands; walking over to me and kissing my forehead, making me push him away. He walks out the door looking very happy, I have to say. "See you later!"
"Good riddance!" I call after him, scoffing and turning away. He's such a troublesome idiot; I mean, I could easily make him regret ever coming here. I grin as my brain kicks itself into gear. For once, I'm willing to take a risk.
Time goes by pretty slowly, though my brains still thinking of all the ways I could torture the Hyuuga. Ino and Chouji soon came- without Kiba- for their daily visits. Ino was being unusually quiet however, when I noticed where her attention was. Chouji was soon as curious as she was, and I sunk further into the bed.
"Why-"
"It's nothing. Just a spot that hurts, that's all." I say, pressing my hand down even more onto my neck.
"Should you really be holding it when it hurts? Let me see that." I moved away slightly as she came closer to me. She looked at me suspiciously and walked forward a bit more. Eventually she grabbed my arm and pulled it away from the mark on my neck and is now staring at me, completely perplexed.
"That's no spot caused by Chicken pox!" she exclaimed, Chouji coming over to have a look.
"I don't want to talk about it," I try to pull my hand back, but her grasp is firm.
"Come on, we're your friends, if you can't share with us, who can you share with?"
"No one. Now go away and stop being troublesome."
"I'm back!" No, go away! You'll make the situation worse! He notices the three very different looks he's getting and the fact that the reddish mark on my neck is no longer covered. "I'll come back later."
Too late, Ino's now sat him down on the bed and is looking between up for an explanation. Now, this isn't my mother, and it's not Neji's cousin, so that means it's not too important.
"It's his fault!" I said, pointing at Neji, who glared at me.
"It's your fault as much as mine!" he says, we glare at each other for a few moments before turning away. I can't stand the look of his pretty face right now…because he's such a pretty boy, it makes me sick…yeah, that one.
Chouji sighs and points something out; "I think it takes two people to end up with that result," I know what he means, but I don't care.
"He came on to me. Not my fault I'll ill and week." I can tell he's glaring daggers at me.
"Don't play damsel in distress, you were happily submissive," I feel my face change to a horrid colour and I glared viciously at him.
"What the hell? No I wasn't!" he smirks and holds his nose high.
"You so were, lying there, moaning like there was no tomorrow," I feel my face fluster more and turn away from him, twitching slightly.
"That's so not true at all."
"Yes it is, you were moaning and I have to say, your hands and legs weren't doing anything to show any signs of wanting to stop," he's so…so…ugh!
"As wonderful as it is to hear you two fight about what you do when no one else is around, it's not what I wanted to know. I want to know how you manage to go from hating each other, to making out of Shikamaru's bed."
"We did not make out!" I protest, though I'm telling the truth this time. She doesn't look too convinced. "It's all him fault anyway: he started it."
"You left me to suffer under your mums' gaze because of your friend."
"You left me to take the blame for something you did, and now your cousin thinks I'm some sort of gay freak!"
"Well you are some sort of gay freak anyway!" I don't know why, but I think I went a bit too far.
"Don't lump me in the same category as you, Hyuuga!" he stands, pure anger written on his face. Ok, now I know I went too far.
"I'm not!" ouch. I turn away as he storms out my room, having the sudden urge to get up and run after him and say sorry, but I know I can't run in this condition. I feel hot tears prickle at my eyes, forgetting for a moment that I have guests, and I brush at my eyes, taking in a big breath to calm myself down. I feel someone hug me from the side and I turn my head slightly to see Ino's head resting on my shoulder, Chouji's hand soon stroking my leg, giving me a slight smile.
"What did I do?" I ask, wincing as I hear the front door slam. Chouji scratches his cheek in thought, unable to think of something. Ino sighs and sits up properly.
"Isn't it obvious? It's obviously something he's sensitive about, being gay," I look at the floor in thought. I guess the Hyuuga family doesn't seem like the kind of family who would open up their arms to homosexuals. So much for genius Nara, great going.
"I need to say sorry then," I state, getting up, only to fall back down.
"You can't go get him, I'm sure he'll be back to torment you later!" Chouji says while patting my back. I don't understand the situation, but that's no reason I should sit around and doing nothing.
"Well I need to do something; I can't sit and wait for it to blow over, can I?" Chouji and Ino exchange looks.
"Shikamaru, don't you normally sit around and wait for it to blow over?" Ino asks. I do, normally. Why is this any different? Why does he get me angry so easily, I don't normally get angry this easily, do I? Rubbing my temple, I fall back onto my bed. There's too many things going round in my head right now, and I need to approach them one by one. I can't answer half of them if Neji isn't here, seeing as they're about him.
"It doesn't matter right now. This is important!" the two exchange looks at my words and nod, Ino going to my door and Chouji going to my window.
"We'll go get him."
"Wait here."
Zzz
And he calls me troublesome? If I'm so troublesome, what does that make him? If he was that disturbed by me, he should've said so, rather than waiting to tell me. I pass the flower shop, clenching my fights tighter. I have no idea where I'm going, but I know it's away from that IDIOT. I pass Kiba, who's looking at me curiously, and I hear him call after me. I don't have the patients to deal with him right now, or anyone else for that matter. I hear him come after me and jog beside me.
"Neji, come on, what's wrong?" I don't need to tell you.
"Buzz off. I don't have time to deal with you right now," he stops, probably going to turn back and be mad at me too. It's not long before I'm stopped by a blonde girl. She stands there, looking very determined with her arms out.
"Stop right there." I scoff at the command and place my hands on my hips. Who does she think she is?
"I don't know what happened Neji, but I think you should go back," I turn my head to see Kiba standing in the same position as Ino. He doesn't know what's going on, so he should leave.
"I'm trying to go home, get out the way," I say, turning back to Ino, who now looks slightly sympathetic.
"Shikamaru wants to say sor-"
"I don't bloody well care what he wants to say, I want to go home. Now get out there way." I glare at her for affect, though she still stands her ground.
"Just listen him out, he's never actually want to do something before, and if we hadn't forced him to stay in his room, he'd be here," but he can't go out his room, he'll end up worse if he does. I jump up, rushing back to scold the idiot. What does he think he is? He's not immortal.
I burst through the front door, running into his room to see him pacing around. He turns to look at me and starts to panic, unsure of what to say. If he doesn't have anything ready, I'll go first.
"What are you thinking?" he looks at the ground. "You can't leave the house, you'll end up worse, or spread the damned chicken pox, and then what will your mother say? Not to mention I'll get in trouble too, idiot!" I grab his arm and tug him back to his bad, sitting him down and pulling his covers up.
"I hope I never hear that again; the last thing you need is to walk around town. You've got a bloody cold as well remember! Honestly…" I shake my head and walk towards the door, going to run him a bath.
"Wait!"
I raise my eyebrow. "What is it; I have to go run your bath. You'll need to keep clean, or those spots you've already picked at will end up infected. I want to come back and see you in the same position, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." I walk out the room muttering curses and started the taps in the bath, warming up the water before putting in the plug. I watch the water rise, hand still in it testing the temperature. I don't notice someone else in the room until Shikamaru sits down beside me, clad in boxers. He dips his own hand into the water, swaying it around causing more ripples.
"Sorry," way to be vague Nara. Good thing I know what you're blabbering about.
"No, I overreacted, you were angry…" that's not the point though, is it, you insensitive asshole.
"We both overreacted, how about that?" I smile at him, nodding my head in agreement. I loose my balance as he splashes me with water, laughing as I fall onto my butt. I growl and grab his head, dunking it in the water and quickly pulling it back up. You shouldn't keep someone's head under water for too long after all, they might drown. He splashes me again, though I try to get out the way. I turn on the tap of the sink, pressing my finger to the rim and aiming a shower towards him. He grabs the shower head off the rack and presses the start button, covering me in water.
"That's unfair!" I shout, trying to stop it from getting in my eyes.
"Too bad then, isn't it?" I look back at the bath, water still running. Swearing I point to the water as it gets quite high. Shikamaru turns off the shower and stops the water for the bath. The shower seemed to wet most of the bathroom anyway, as well as me.
"Um…sorry?" I see his eyes glint mischievously as his brain jolts into gear I look at him sceptically as he walks over to me, cornering me into the spare between the door and the wall, locking the door in the process. His fingers sneak up to the buttons of my shirt and start to get to work. "Well, you're already wet, you might as well join me …" he's not serious.
"I-I'm good?" he chuckles and looks up at me the way girls do when they want something, and I have to say, he's very good at it. I feel my shirt slip off my shoulder and fall to the floor with my trousers. He's fast; you have to give him credit for that. I tip my head back as I feel his tongue trail down my chest, leaving a cold drying feeling. His hands skim up to my shoulders and slide down my arms, taking hold of my hands.
I watch as he pulls me forward with him, stepping over the side of the bath to stand in the water, and my legs unconsciously move in the same way. I can't believe what my brains telling me as I feel something warm and soft rub against my lips, though by the look of things he's really…kissing me? I didn't expect him to go that far.
I find myself looking up at his smirking face and feel very light headed. I hear lots of splashing as he puts his head under the water and I feel something nip at my collarbone. I moan and tip my head back into the water, feeling the bubbles leave my mouth quickly. This must be dangerous. All thoughts are pushed aside as I feel him suck on the most sensitive part of my skin, getting me to squirm. I feel the need to breathe as he starts to nibble at the pale skin, working like magic.
He soon kisses at the beaten mark that's sure to be there in the morning, and he crawls back up to my submerged face and covers my open lips, blowing into them giving me air and sits up, allowing me enough strength to push myself up. He's got a look of triumph on his face and stands, grabbing the shampoo bottle and squirts some on his hands, rubbing them together before reaching for my head. I roll my head in pleasure as the thin fingers work their way through my hair.
I feel him kneel to get at the back part of my hair, resting his upper arms on my shoulders while washing my locks. I kiss his chest as he continues with his treatment, licking at the odd spot every now and then, getting him to fidget slightly. Not giving up, he pushes me backwards, not letting my head go into the now soapy water and runs his hands through my tresses, much to my delight.
"Tired?" he whispers, bowing his head to my ear. I nod, unknowing of what else to do. I hear his laugh under his breath and he stands, I keep an eye on him as he steps out the bath, going for a towel and drop his boxers to the floor, standing there in all his glory giving me enough time to take him in.
"You can finish the rest, I think I'll go change," and with that, he wraps the towel round his waist and unlocks the door, walking out with a bounce in his step. I look toward the empty towel rack and growl, previous situation forgotten.
"Nara! Get back here now!"
Zzz
I laugh as he storms out of the bathroom in his wet clothes, not looking happy. He's got his arms folded and his foots tapping impatiently on the floor. I shake my head and go get him a towel, still clothed in nothing but my own fluffy towel. I pass it to him and watch as he fumes into the room with the dryer and washing machine, following him and standing in the doorway, observing him as he undresses till he's left in nothing, hurling them into the dryer and wrapping himself in a towel hastily, glaring at me the whole time.
"Now look who the pervert is, hum?" I smirk and walk over to him, laughing inside at the look he's giving me.
"If I was a real pervert, I'd do this;" and I reached for his towel, pulling on it harshly, making him grab it and blush for shades of red.
"The freaking front doors not locked you know!" I laugh and look at the blue markings on his head. I didn't really notice till now. He turns away as he realizes what's captured my interest and starts the machine, not looking at me.
"Let me see it…" his head snaps up and he gives me a weird look, but I bend down and look at the blue pattern, ignoring his look. I have a feeling I was right about the Hyuuga family not being very accepting to homosexuals, and I feel even worse that I did earlier. He could be hurt because of this stupid game.
"If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, don't. I don't really care too much about what the main house thinks about me, I never really have." I look him in the eyes and see a sad, yet determined look I've never seen in those white eyes.
"Sorry…I guess…it was my entire fault earlier, and you could get hurt if we keep-"
"Shut up Shikamaru; I thought we agreed that we would share the fault on that one. I'm not letting you take all the blame again you know," he smirks at me and I feel myself gulp, "and I never knew you were that worried about me, it's sweet."
"Shut up. I'm going to my room." I yelp as I suddenly feel a draft against my lower half. "Give me that, you pervert!" I turn around to see him waving it in his hand while smirking.
"No, I have a very nice view …" I blush and think of just storming out the room; however I opt with trying to get my towel back. I go to grab it, only to hive him pull it back. I feel myself fall forward and expect to hit the floor, so shut my eyes and brace myself. I open them again to feel myself sprawled against something warm and soft. I stare up into white orbs which are looking at me in shock. My arms are scattered across the space at the side of Neji's head, the top of my head just below his chin, and my legs are sprayed at awkward angels, one between Neji's legs, and my other at the side of his left leg. Then I notice something very disturbing.
His towel's fallen off.
I feel my head pound uncontrollably and I sit up, unconsciously rubbing my knee against his length, making him moan. I blush more and pause stiffly. I could get him back, or run away. If I loiter, he might try get back into the lead, but I don't want that.
"N-Neji…" he looks up at me, pure lust evident in his eyes.
"What?" he asks huskily, making me stiffer still. I open and close my mouth a few times, trying to think of how I can phrase this.
"I umm…I don't think I can move."
Zzz
What the hell does he mean he can't move? It's not that hard! Isn't he meant to be a fucking genius? Ok Neji, calm down a little, seeing as he seems to have gone into shut down mode, you'll have to think of a way to get us out of this … awkward situation.
"Are you sure?" I croak. He's killing me here, I swear. "It's your win if that's what this is." The blush adorning his face is adorable.
"I wouldn't joke about something like this … you mean you're…" he blushes more, eyes widening.
"Hurry, I can see someone walking in on us," he starts to panic when I say that. "Calm down, Shikamaru, panicking isn't going to get us anywhere." I activate my Byakugan.
"I need something to shock me," I hate it when I'm right. I don't think I should tell him, but I certainly don't think I should leave us like this.
"Ok, here's your shock, someone's coming upstairs." He starts to scramble, only brushing against me again. I gasp and blush as he looks down at me. I grab his towel and cover myself, knowing what he's going to say next.
"You horny pervert," I can't tell if he's angry or amused, but I don't find it funny.
"Shut up and go see who's coming up the gosh damned stairs," I hiss, throwing the towel at his face, he laughs and looks at me again as I get up, retrieving my towel and wrap it round my face. "You better wear that to see who's there, Nara." I hear him laugh again. This room's directly attached to the hall, and the person was coming up the stairs.
"Oh, are you that protective?" he taunts. I can't believe I let him over take me. That's just … unbelievable. I walk to the door frame, seeing him at the stairs, nodding his head. He walks back up and leans on the banister and faces me with a pained look.
"It was Chouji's dad, he knocked on the door and no body answered, so he opened it to see if anyone was here, when he saw water leaking down from upstairs, so decided to come check it out. I said I'd fallen asleep and left the bath too long and there was nothing to worry about." I shook my head slightly.
"At least he didn't catch us," he nods, biting his lip. "What are you going to tell your mum?"
"I'll tell her your where out training, and had already started the water, but I fell asleep when you left and forgot about it. I think she'll believe me…"
"Shikamaru! I'm home!" I bang my head against the frame, reaching for the door.
"I'll hide in hear, you go explain to your dad."
"Sounds good."
Zzz
Kitty: I won't be mean and make his dad find out, and what kind of lazy guy would go check the laundry room for his sons 'boyfriend'?
I have found my little note book, and have started making notes when I'm not at the computer for future chapters, so I don't forget them, so without further delay, I shall move on
R+R!
Ciao

"How about we make this more interesting?"
"Explain."
"Whoever looses has to call the other '-dono' for the rest of this week and next week."
"But that's longer than I have to look after you for!"
"What happened to that 'I won't loose', hum?"
"…oh, you're on!"
