Sasuke paused for a moment, trying to think up another name. He didn't want to ask if Neji slept with Uzumaki, what were the chances? Jealousy began to tug at the Uchiha and decided he would ask, just to clear any doubt.

"Naru-"

"Lee! It was Lee, okay?" Neji cut in quickly before Sasuke had a chance to finish. He knew Sasuke would unmistakably freak out if he had learned Neji had relations with the blonde. So he did the only think he could think of, lie. All he had to do know was visit Lee in the morning, after he talked to Hinata about the removal of stains, and clear his story with the boy in case Sasuke brought it into question.

"Lee? You slept with Lee?" Sasuke gawked at Neji before falling off the bed laughing. "Hahaha! Oh my god, are you serious? Him?"

Neji sighed and watched his new roommate roll around on the floor, at one point Sasuke fell into a small fit of giggles, where he had the uncontrollable urge to kick his feet in the air. In the back of the Hyuuga's head, he felt a small tinge of guilt poke at him for lying.

Flashback-

Hinata sat next to Neji holding a small bottle, she smiled and looked up to her cousin.

"Neji, lying to someone at the beginning of a relationship is almost dooming it. You should always be honest with your partner."

-End Flashback

Neji sat up in his bed, the moral of the flashback guilt him even more. He remembered when he was young, he was told a story by his father. When a memory bubbled to the surface of one's mind that held a lesson the person should heed, an angel was trying to help you do the right thing. If the person learns from it and does what he or she is supposed to, then the angel would be granted their wings.

Although it was still hazy, Neji closed his eyes and tried to return to the memory of Hinata and himself. Hinata was smiling and repeating one word over and over.

Honesty…

Neji frowned, what was it the flashback was trying to tell him?

Honesty…

Neji focused on his cousin, then onto the bottle she was holding. It was blurry, but slowly the label came into view. Two much bolder words flashed in the Hyuuga's mind.

Stain remover.

Neji opened his eyes and smirked, he needed to borrow Hinata's stain remover tomorrow to fix his carpet. He laid back down in bed, content that he figured it out. Sasuke climbed back in next to the Hyuuga after having himself a good laugh. Neji smiled and let the smaller boy snuggle into his chest before drifting off into a pleasant sleep.

Somewhere, an angel was declined it's wings.

Neji awoke the next day with Sasuke sprawled across his chest. The smaller nin's face was nestled in the crook of the Hyuuga's neck and moaned awake when he felt the taller teen shift. Sasuke looked up at Neji with a lazy smirk bracing his features, apparently he still thought the whole 'Lee' thing was funny.

" It's morning." He mumbled softly against the others throat before lifting himself off the older boy.

"Good morning then." The other responded and perched himself up.

He looked up just in time to see the Uchiha's smile waver. Sasuke opened his mouth but appeared to have difficulty forming words. When no speech came out, he looked at his lap and blushed.

"What is it?" Neji asked, curiosity evident in his voice.

"It's…it's just that…I dunno…" Sasuke frowned at the amount of stuttering he was doing and forced himself to speak clearly. "Are we-"

"You want to know where we stand after what happened between us?" Neji finished for him.

Sasuke nodded.

Neji looked up in thought, "Well, to be honest, I really wasn't expecting you to be rooming with me. That kind of added a whole new degree of awkwardness to the situation."

Sasuke nodded again.

Neji looked around the room as if it held an answer to his problem, "And I figured you would probably be staying with Naruto instead."

Sasuke wrinkled his nose in distaste.

The other smirked at his reaction and continued. "I wouldn't mind sharing a bed with you more often, but if you want to take the couch then…"

He shrugged as if he could have gone either way with the situation even though he strongly wanted the former. He arched an eyebrow at the Uchiha, in search for an answer.

Sasuke's cool demeanor didn't falter in the slightest, however he was quite relieved that the Hyuuga hinted at the idea of a relationship, he didn't thing he could forget about what had happened so easily, especially if he had to stay with that person. He leaned forward and captured his new lover's lips with his own, he could get used to this. Perhaps starting again in Kohana wouldn't be as bad as he thought after all.

After Sasuke kissed the Hyuuga, it turned into a battle for dominance, Sasuke quickly giving in while Neji pushed him down and ravished his mouth. Things heated up quickly until a knock at the front door brought them out of their activities. Neji jumped out of the bed, grabbed a shirt and pants and had them on before he reached the door.

"Hey Neji." Naruto spoke up as the Hyuuga opened the door.

"Oh, hey Naruto. What brings you here?" Neji started fixing his hair into his usual low-pony-tail.

"The hag wanted me to make sure Sasuke left." Naruto rolled his eyes. "Just because we're on the same team blah-blah-blah I should care blah-blah-blah and check up on him every so often."

Neji opened his mouth to speak but Naruto cut him off.

"It's nothing against you personally Neji, I know how prideful you are, she just wanted a teammate to check up on him. And I don't need Sakura fawning all over him, so I went."

Neji smirked, Naruto could sense if he was about to be offended at something and would always try to put it to ease before Neji became insulted. Neji noticed Naruto's eyes lower to his chest, the Hyuuga would have thought his friend was checking him out until the fox-child spoke.

"Neji, is that my shirt?"

Neji looked down at the shirt he was wearing and mentally scolded himself. He grabbed the shirt Sasuke borrowed from Naruto yesterday. "Um…yes."

Naruto laughed. "Can I get it back? It's my favorite one."

Neji snapped out of a daze and lifted the shirt over his head before handing it to the blonde. Naruto's eyes drifted over the taller teen's chest and lingered there for almost a moment before meeting Neji's intrigued gaze.

"You know Neji, it'll be spring in a few months." He purred.

Neji visibly stiffened, knowing all too well what those words meant. He quickly shrugged off any uncomforting and nodded. "Still no luck?"

Naruto shook his head, eyes falling back to the other's exposed chest. "Besides it's not like I mind waiting. You don't mind right?"

Neji shook his head. "I love helping out a friend in need."

He struggled to keep a smirk off his face. Naruto however grinned like a cat. His fingers twitched slightly as he stared harder at the Hyuuga's flesh. He reached his hand out to run across it when Sasuke emerged from Neji's room fully dressed. Naruto retracted his hand faster then the thought of touching Neji's skin passed through his mind.

"Oi, Sasuke ready for your work?" the blonde asked in an irritated voice.

Sasuke just sneered. He was wearing one of Neji's shirts now that he had no other. He decided he would drop by his place after his chores and pack some clothes to bring back. He rolled his eyes as he brushed past Naruto, purposely shoving into his shoulder as his passed by.

"Move it Dobe."

"You move it!" Naruto shoved Sasuke back.

Eventually ending with Neji restraining both ninjas until they agreed to be good. Neji grabbed another shirt to wear and left the apartment. Sasuke kept quiet the whole way and left to his work without saying a goodbye.

Kowaikage: Yes yes, I know I should prolly update faster, especially if the chapter is just collecting dust. And yes, I know how stupid Neji seems to be in this chapter when it comes to honesty…but meh, it's my fic :P Oh yeah, and yes, I do know that the chances of Naruto and Neji actually having hot passionate sex is also slim, but a girl can dream can't she?
