After Tsunade had spoken to the citizens and ninja of the city about the attack, Neji had finally gone home.

There had been an announcement that they'd be looking for Sasuke as well as some other prisoners that had escaped.

But Sasuke was nowhere to be found in or around the city.

They had even put some of Neji's family members on the case, but they couldn't locate him.

Neji had been scanning some parts of the city, but as he knew he would never be able to sense Sasuke anyway, he went home to rest.

He was barely home though when there was a knock on the door.

He was on guard in an instance. Why hadn't he felt a presence?

Could it be?

Neji opened the door and was indeed met with black eyes on the other side.

He had partly suspected Sasuke coming over, but Neji was surprised still somewhat surprised he actually did.

He could have easily been playing with him all along, but now Neji knew he had truly been sincere.

For just a split second Sasuke stood there in the doorway.

Then their lips met and Neji was overwhelmed by Sasuke's hands roaming over his body.

It registered on his brain that what Sasuke wanted was to take their relationship to another level.

Neji had never done that before, but somehow in the heat of the moment and probably because he could sense how much Sasuke needed it, he wanted it too.

Finally those bars were no longer in their way and their bodies were touching, heating up in the process.

Hands started moving under Neji's shirt, desperate for more contact, then Neji pulled back.

Sasuke's face was that of confusion and shock for a second.

Until Neji removed his shirt.

As Sasuke took a deep breath, Neji removed the younger boy's shirt as well and when it was gone, they latched onto each other once more, kissing each other with more passion.

Sasuke violently pushed Neji through the room, bumping into some furniture on the way. Neji started to lead them to the bedroom.

As they reached it, Sasuke pushed Neji down on the bed, sitting on top and working on Neji's pants.

Sasuke sure was in a rush. Neji couldn't blame him.

To be honest, he was pretty turned on for the first time in his life.

As Sasuke touched certain sensitive parts of Neji's body, Neji blanked out for a second

Sasuke managed to pull his pants down with little effort and kissed Neji's neck.

This was going to be an interesting night.

They lay there, in Neji's bed, still slightly panting next to each other.

Neji could barely believe he had just done it. For the first time. With a man.

And Sasuke at that.

Had someone told him this after the first day they had met, he would've laughed at them and thought they'd been crazy.

Now though, it had felt like the right thing to do. It felt good.

Neji turned to the side, where Sasuke was staring at the ceiling with quite and unreadable look.

"Sasuke." Neji said, trying to catch the other's attention.

It worked, as Sasuke turned his head and looked at Neji.

His look changed from that of concern and worry, to passionate again. A look that Neji rarely didn't see when he met up with Sasuke.

"Was this what you needed?" Neji asked.

"You're what I needed." Sasuke corrected. Had anyone else said it probably would've sounded sappy.

When Sasuke said it, it sounded like someone did something wrong.

Neji couldn't help but find that funny.

Sasuke then started blinking somewhat and Neji noted that the younger boy probably was tired.

Sleeping in prison was annoying and Sasuke had probably always been sleeping with one eye open.

He needed a good nights rest for once, one where he didn't have to worry or keep track of danger.

"Go to sleep." Neji said and managed to smile an actual genuine smile.

Sasuke nodded, then turned his head towards the ceiling again and closed his eyes.

But as Sasuke fell asleep, Neji knew he was still using chakra, tracking people down, trying to be aware of everything around him.

Neji wanted that to stop, if only for one night. Sasuke deserved as much.

So as the minutes went by and Sasuke refused to really sleep, Neji flared up his own chakra.

The younger boy instantly reacted.

"What?" He asked, half annoyed, half scanning for danger.

Neji pulled him closer, much to Sasuke's surprise.

"When I told you to sleep, I meant for real." Neji said.

"I was sleeping."

"You know what I mean. Sleep. I'll keep track of things."

It was silent for a while, but Neji could sense Sasuke was too tired to argue anyway.

"Fine." Came the response and Sasuke seemed to be calmed down.

It didn't take very long before Sasuke let go of all his worries and just went to sleep.

No concerns tonight, just rest.

The trust Sasuke already had in Neji was amazing. Easily Neji could've turned on him on more then one occasion.

Not that he would, but the fact that Sasuke was willing to take the risk. It once again confirmed that everything Sasuke did was something he completely stood behind.

For Neji, a person who thought everything through, weighed every possibility, it was a rare sight.

A welcome sight, because it made him feel trusted.

As Sasuke slipped into slumber Neji made sure to stay aware.

Because they both knew, at some point ANBU would track them down.

And Sasuke would have to go back.
