Whiny Hyuuga
"Because even geniuses needs days off…"
…
Lee glanced down at his friend's sleeping face.
He looked peaceful, that's for sure.
He couldn't say the same about Neji two hours ago though.
The Jonin club.
That was the reason why Lee had been woken up from his healthy night sleep to listen to Neji whine.
A drunken Neji,
Coming back from the Jonin club.
But you know the best part was, Lee thought, Neji was tricked.
Neji is flawed and could be fooled.
The Hyuuga genius had ended up drinking something in the Jonin club.
More accurately, tricked into drinking something in the Jonin club that had a suspicious smell like that of cherry cocktails and mineral water.
Even though mineral water did not have an odor.
According to Neji, it did.
And it smelled real nice.
"You know Ree," Neji slurred. "I garrover the branch an main lo~ng time ago. I ron't care 'bout it no more."
He said it like Lee was denying the obvious fact and arguing with Neji about his Hyuuga complexes.
"Mmm… I'm happy for you Neji." Lee said sincerely, but still fighting the urge to fall asleep and not end up being the cause of a serious injury or worse, eternal embarrassment.
"Naruto fre~ed me. I'm free."
"I'm happy about this too Neji. Naruto really did inspire most of us, especially you." Lee stopped to stare at the hanging lights on the rooftop where team Guy hung out most of the time.
He wondered what Naruto was doing at the moment.
The taijutsu specialist almost had a finger in the eye while Neji was trying to sit upright.
"No, no no, Ree. Uzumaki did… didn't affect me most." He wiggled his finger in Lee's face. "Hinata… Rrrady Hinatas the one…"
Then Neji murmured something close to 'that idiot' and all of a sudden ignored Lee, finding the black sky much more interesting.
The newly-minted Jonin looked at the bright stars with sad eyes.
"Ree… yound I… werreally… Tentennd Guy too…"
Lee looked quizzically at his friend. "I don't get it."
Neji sniffed on his sleeve. "Tenten. Ree. Guy. Nejii. Werra small family!"
He awkwardly shouted the last sentence to heavens, staring challengingly at the sky, waiting for someone to say different.
It took few minutes for Lee to get over his shock.
That was an admittance that they did matter in Neji's book.
And not just as teammates or a load or born-failures that he needed to watch over.
Neji thought they were a family.
Now Lee sat on the semi-circle seats with a snoring Neji on his shoulder and watched as the sun peeked from behind the Hokage monument.
He felt happy, satisfied. That feeling he got after training for hours and hours a day and ended it up with running laps until he lost count.
But really, they didn't compare.
Too bad he was forbidden from talking about it for the rest of his life.
Too bad that Neji didn't even remember what he said, or so he pretended.
Lee trusted him too much to believe otherwise.
A/N: I've never been drunk myself, but I've seen plenty of people doing so. Thus, I observed quietly from the sidelines.
But if this chapter wasn't cheesy, I don't know what it was.
Tell me what you think anyway!
