After two months of having a relationship with Uchiha Sasuke, while out of prison, Neji had learned a lot about the other boy.

Like how Sasuke would wake up every day with a bit of morning moodiness.

It wasn't a secret that Sasuke liked to be left alone, but Neji learned very quickly that there was no random talking to the Uchiha when he had just woken up.

The first time he had done that, he had gotten a glare that looked like he could've torn Neji on the spot.

The second time he had earned the same glare, but as he pushed things further, Sasuke had pushed Neji into a wall instead and had told him to shut up.

Normally, Neji would've fought back and shoved him away, but Neji knew about morning moodiness.

His uncle suffered from it as well. So Neji let it rest and never spoke to Sasuke right after waking up, unless the Uchiha adressed him himself.

It was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Just like Sasuke had clearly been willing to sacrifice his late evenings because Neji wanted to go to bed early.

It was healthier and even though Sasuke would sometimes lay awake for hours, he let it rest.

That was also something Neji had learned about Sasuke.

The boy was pretty good at making compromises.

It was totally unexpected, after all Sasuke wasn't known as a person that made any consessions for anyone.

Most things just didn't really matter to Sasuke and he was willing to give up lots of things just for the sake of making Neji happier.

And so, all Neji could do was return the favour by making sure he would make compromises as well.

Like the morning moodiness. Or the fact Sasuke wanted to train a lot.

And then their were Sasuke's emotions and the way he displayed them.

When he was mad, it was clear to the world. He wouldn't allow people talking to him and Neji only ever got him out of it if he just silently sat down next to Sasuke and let him brood.

When Sasuke was happy, it was a whole different story.

Most people couldn't tell, because Sasuke wouldn't smile, but those eyes reflected everything.

When the younger boy was happy though, he was always way more affectionate towards Neji.

He would gently hold his hand, or kiss him or just hold him for no apparent reason.

Before they had started spending time together, Neji always thought Sasuke was in no need of contact with anyone, let alone physical contact.

But Sasuke seemed to crave it. There were days that were spend closely together, just basking in each other's presence.

And then sometimes those days would turn into hours of teasing when Sasuke was in one of those moods.

Neji hadn't expected anyone, especially a guy, to think of his body as something to want.

But Sasuke would stare at Neji's body as if it was the most desirable thing in the world and it made Neji more confident.

Neji was physically very attracted to Sasuke as well, so he understood where the other was coming from.

On top of that Sasuke could be so passionate and Neji was always a little overwhelmed by the emotions spilled into every movement the Uchiha made.

Sex, for that matter, was also a perfect way to know how Sasuke felt.

When angry it was rough and hard and short and afterwards Sasuke would mostly hold Neji close as if he were some type of possession other people should keep their hands off.

When happy it was gentle, passionate and very perfect. Sasuke would always stretch those sessions as much as he could and was very focused on satisfying Neji.

When Sasuke was frustrated, he would initiate it, but then stop. Neji only needed one look that told him the younger boy needed someone to take over for a while so he could sit back and relax for a moment.

Neji was always happy to grant him that. In fact, most of the time, even if it was because of anger, Neji enjoyed their time in bed together.

It was only when Sasuke was really upset that Neji found it hard to offer Sasuke what he needed.

The boy would be passionate to the point of desperation. Wanting something that probably no one could give him.

He would be absent, not really responsive and just moved. And even though their bodies would be satisfied, in mind Sasuke rarely was.

Most times, it helped somewhat and Sasuke would lay close to Neji, hoping whatever thoughts he had to go away.

But sometimes, as the adrenaline wore off, Sasuke would turn away from Neji. It was a clear sign that whatever was bothering Sasuke, wasn't gone.

It was probably even worse, because now their was no solution for it any more. Their was no other way to make it go away then just sit it out.

And Neji knew from experience how frustrating that was.

In those cases, Neji would lay close to Sasuke, never hugging the other boy, because he knew Sasuke didn't want to be pitied.

But Neji would put a hand on his shoulder and let the two of them fall asleep if they could.

The next day it was gone most of the times.

If not, Sasuke would simply try again.

There was a lot Neji had learned about Sasuke in the past few months.

And he was sure he hadn't seen the last of it.
