Really short Sasuke chapter. enjoy.


"Who was that?" Neji asked as Sasuke hung up the phone.

"Were you listening?" Sasuke asked. Neji was the dorm manager. Sasuke had remembered the first time he met the other boy. He had been setting up his room when the door opened and a boy was standing there.

"Can I help you?" Sasuke asked coolly.

"You're Uchiha?" The boy asked.

"What's it to you?" Sasuke growled. He was not happy about being forced here.

"I'm Hyuuga Neji, I'm the dorm manager here." Neji introduced himself. "I hope you will find your stay enjoyable."

"What is this a hotel or something?" Sasuke asked.

"Trying to be kind." Neji mumbled.

"I don't need it. Leave me alone." Sasuke growled.

"Ah, there were rumors you were forced here. I guess you are still bitter about it." Neji said. Sasuke growled at him.

"What would you know about it?" Sasuke asked. Neji shut the door just before a book slammed into it.

"Your friend?" Neji asked.

"Shut up, Hyuuga." Sasuke growled.

"So you're still not going to talk about it?" Neji asked.

"It doesn't matter why do you even care?" Sasuke asked.

"I was under the impression we were friends. Wouldn't friends talk about something like that?" Neji asked.

"We're acquaintances at best." Sasuke told him.

"How sad." Neji sighed. Sasuke growled.

"Why do you patronize me?" Sasuke asked.

"Because it's so fun to annoy you." Neji smirked. "If you ever do need to talk, I'm here." Neji said seriously.

"I don't need you." Sasuke told him plainly.

"Why are you so against making friends here?" Neji asked.

"I already told you, I don't need friends. I already have someone back home and they're the only person I'll ever need." Sasuke said.

"Oh, so it's like a lover?" Neji asked.

"Shut up." Sasuke snapped at him.

"Do you miss them?" Neji asked. Sasuke felt tears in the corner of his eyes.

"Yeah." Sasuke said. He sighed. "You're annoying, you know that?" Sasuke said looking over at Neji. Neji smirked.

"Only a true friend would say that." Neji said.

"We're not friends." Sasuke said coolly and walked away. A week later Sasuke went back to the office.

"You've come to talk?" Neji asked looking up at the other boy.

"I have to mail a letter but I don't have a stamp." Sasuke said.

"Sending it to your lover?" Neji smirked.

"Shut up, I just need a stamp." Sasuke growled at him. Neji sighed and handed him a stamp. Sasuke took it and walked away only to be followed by Neji.

"What are you writing to your lover?" Neji asked leaning on the doorframe of Sasuke's room.

"Nothing." Sasuke said.

"None of my business, I see." Neji said.

"No, I'm not writing anything because the person I'm writing to can't read." Sasuke said.

"Then why are you sending a letter?" Neji asked. Sasuke held up a piece of paper and Neji saw a sun drawn on the page shining brightly with a large smile. "What's that?" Neji asked.

"What I'm sending." Sasuke said. Neji looked confused.

"What?" Neji asked.

"You wouldn't understand." Sasuke said taking the paper back from Neji and putting it in the envelope. "I'm going to go mail this." Sasuke said leaving. Neji followed behind again. "Why are you following me?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing better to do." Neji said.

"Ah, so that's how it really is." Sasuke said.

"What do you mean?" Neji asked.

"You're the one who doesn't have any friends. That's why you want to be my friend so badly." Sasuke said. Neji narrowed his eyes at Sasuke.

"Fine, you're right. So what?" Neji snapped.

"So I'm the only person that will even put up with you, huh?" Sasuke asked.

"Whatever, this is stupid." Neji huffed and turned to walk away.

"I'll be your friend." Sasuke called after Neji. The other boy stopped and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke gave him an expectant look before continuing his walk. He smirked softly when Neji fell into step beside him. They didn't talk, they both knew their friendship wouldn't be built on stimulating conversation. Sasuke didn't like seeing lonely people and Neji was a lonely soul. After Sasuke put the letter in the mailbox Neji turned to look at him.

"Lets go gets some lunch." Neji said. Sasuke nodded. They walked to the cafeteria. After getting their food and sitting down they were joined by two obnoxious girls.

"Sasuke-kun." They both cooed. Sasuke sighed.

"Ino, Sakura." Sasuke said politely. He didn't really have anything against the girls, they were nice enough when needed but they were very annoying. Sasuke hated fangirls so these two were no exception. "What do you want?" Sasuke asked.

"You're so rude, Sasuke-kun." Ino huffed.

"Your point?" Sasuke asked. He had to admit, out of all his fangirls, Ino and Sakura were the most tolerable because they were the only ones not after his family's name and fortune.

"Can't friends sit together for meals?" Sakura asked innocently. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at them.

"When did we decide we were friends? Because I obviously wasn't there for that meeting." Sasuke said. Sakura and Ino huffed.

"You really are a mean person, Sasuke-kun. You should work on your attitude and more people will like you." Sakura said.

"I have enough fans as it is. I don't need people to like me." Sasuke shrugged indifferently.

"Well, we like you and we're your friends so you're just going to have to get use to it." Ino told him. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." Sasuke said. Neji tried not to laugh as they ate. Ino and Sakura seemed to really annoy Sasuke but he was too well mannered to actually tell them to leave. So Neji watched in amusement as his friend suffered. After lunch Neji and Sasuke started walking back to their dorm.

"I never realized you were so popular." Neji said.

"Yeah, well it's annoying. All the upper classmen love me because they knew my brother, all the lower classmen love me because I'm rich and good looking. It's infuriating sometimes." Sasuke said.

"If it's any conciliation, I just wanted to be your friend because I felt like we would be good friends." Neji said.

"Hn." Sasuke answered. They continued in silence after that, neither having much to say anyway.
