DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO
(Neji's POV)
"Gooo Neji!"
I cringed at the sound of her voice echoing through the whole gym. I was given jealous, irritated, and amused looks from my clubmates. I sighed and took a shot, missing the hoop completely. I've been missing shots for the past hour and practice is almost over.
"Try again baby! I know you can do it!"
Ten Ten's voice was irritating me but I shook my head and reprimanded myself for thinking that way about my… girlfriend. I shuddered at the thought and scolded myself some more, grabbing another basketball.
I closed my eyes and remembered when Gaara first taught me. I took a calming breath and opened my eyes before I took a shot. I watched the ball make a perfect arch and go in the hoop. I heard Ten Ten clap enthusiastically.
"Whoo! Babe you're so awesome!"
I winced grabbing my bag and walked off to the locker rooms. I heard the sound of running feet and felt a pair of arms wrap around me as I was tackled to the ground.
"Ugh…"
"You were so awesome Neji…"
I sighed and picked myself up offering my hand to Ten Ten. She smiled at me and let me pull her to her feet. She kissed me on the lips and I pulled back.
"I'm sweaty,"
"I don't care,"
She tried to kiss me again and I gently pushed her back. She looked at me pouting I sighed and looked away.
"I'm going to go take a shower then I'll take you home okay?"
"All right…"
I heard the disappointment in her voice and shook my head, walking away without glancing back at her.
"I love you!"
I fidgeted when I heard her voice echo throughout the gym. I walked into the locker room and saw a redhead leaning by the frame. He just looked at me and my heart ached at the sight. I tried to get in but he blocked my way with his arm.
"I can't get in,"
"Exactly,"
"I need to take a shower,"
"So?"
I couldn't look at him for long without my heart beating like crazy and my pulse quickening. So I opted to look above his shoulder at the lockers.
"Could you move?"
He tilted his head to the side contemplating his answer. I felt irritation and nervousness bubble inside me. I took a deep breath and pushed past him instead of waiting for his answer.
"Hey!"
I ignored him, got my towel and headed for the showers. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"What do you think you're doing?"
I hissed at him trying to pull my arm free. He had a firm grip on me and pushed me into some of the lockers. I exhaled sharply as my body collided with the metal doors, my head slamming against them. He trapped me between his arms and looked at me directly in the eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"I should be the one asking that question!"
"I don't know anymore…"
"L-let me go!"
"No,"
We just stood there staring at each other, the awkward silence between us stretching into what felt like hours. My eyes travelled down his face and rested on his lower lip, it's lightly jutting out made my eyes widen and I start to chuckle a bit.
"What's so funny?"
"You're so cute when you pout,"
"I am not pouting and I am not cute,"
I watched as he withdrew his hands and crossed them over his chest. I smiled and slipped away and went towards the shower leaving him there to sulk.
"Hey!"
I laugh and let the cold water run down on me.
"Neji come back here!"
I heard someone shouting but I didn't turn around. My head was pounding and I couldn't remember where I was but I do know that I didn't want that person catching me. I felt my world tilt as I hit the floor with a deafening crash. I roll over laughing as the person chasing me became clearer.
"Heeeey Kiba!"
"Neji! What the hell are you doing coming to school drunk?"
I frowned at his question and tried to remember why I got wasted, a painful echo of someone's voice rang in my ears and I pushed the memory away.
"Cause I want to!"
I sang my reply and tried to get up but the world was still spinning so I fell back down on my ass, laughing some more. I heard more voices but I felt a bit drowsy and snuggled into myself.
"Don't go to sleep damn it!"
Someone roughly grabbed me and yanked me to my feet. I stumbled forward and hit someone's chest. I grabbed hold of him and snuggled closer. This person just sighed and picked me up.
"What happened this time Kiba?"
"I don't know! Neji's gone insane!"
"Where's his girlfriend?"
"Why should we care Gaara?"
The sudden pain in my chest made me frown. There is something I am forgetting. I pushed the thoughts away; it wasn't the time to remember horrible things. Instead I snuggled into the warmth that was surrounding me.
"Where should we go?"
I felt myself bounce a bit whenever the person carrying me took a step. A sigh from somewhere above my head made me wonder just how tall was this person.
"I don't know… your house?"
"No can do. Parents are home,"
"His home?"
"I don't think uncle Hiashi would appreciate his nephew being drunk,"
I squirmed in his arms and he cradled me gently making shushing noises.
"Then my house it is,"
I sighed and let the darkness take me.
School has just started and I am already stressed. All these scenes in my head and I have no plot to connect them T.T And my betas are in another class from me that is just not fair! Anyways I have three new ideas for three different couples. I just don't know who should go first.
