Chapter Two

Neji walked in the house filthy from his fight with Naruto. Naruto ran away. That's all Neji could think about. Naruto ran away.

As he was passing the main rooms, he overheard Hinata talking to Hanabi. She was crying, that much was evident.

"He said we couldn't date." Neji heard Hinata say.

"But why?" Hanabi asked.

"He said he doesn't like girls. That he's into guys."

That bit of news shocked Neji. So, Naruto liked men. Interesting.

"I don't know what to do now. I've loved him for so long."

"Hinata, you have to get over him. I know it hurts but if he doesn't like girls, there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe you should date Kiba, he likes you."

"Kiba! No, I don't think I could love anyone else right now. I just need to get over this somehow."

Neji walked away.

"So, Naruto likes men. This sounds promising." Neji muttered as he entered his room. He walked right into his bathroom and set the water to warm up as he stripped.

As Neji jumped in he thought of his fight with Naruto. He'd known that Naruto had been watching him practice. He purposefully practiced shirtless tonight in hopes Naruto would show up. Neji found himself crushing over Naruto over the last few months.

Now that the war was over, Neji had a lot of time to think of his future. Dating TenTen was the logical answer but he never found her attractive. He'd never stoop down to date Lee. Only because the two were so opposite. Lee has always been a good friend but not boyfriend material.

He feared coming out to his family. Mostly he feared his uncle. Hiashi Hyuuga was a strict man. His nephew coming out as gay would disrupt his views on Neji. Neji didn't want to lose respect from his uncle which is why he hasn't come out yet.

Hearing news Naruto was into guys made Neji smile. Now he could make a move. He figured telling Naruto he could have anything he wanted included him. He wanted to gauge Naruto. He knew Naruto never dated anyone and that, despite all her effects, Hinata was never his desire.

Then there was his fear that Naruto was holding himself out for Sasuke. Naji has known that Naruto as always wanted to bring Sasuke back. So, now that Sasuke was free, would Naruto face him? Would Naruto want to be with Sasuke?

That thought had Neji frowning. He turned the shower tap to cold water. He was angering himself over something he had no clue about. No, Neji would fight to have his chance with Naruto. He had to at least try.

He turned his head to wash his hair. As he lathered it up, thoughts of Naruto came to Neji's mind. Naruto in the shower with him. Naruto on his knees. Naruto pressed against the wall while Neji injected himself into Naruto's ass over and over again. Frustration took over as Neji felt himself harden. Growling, he finished his shower and stepped out, wrapping a towel around himself while he grabbed another towel to dry his hair.

Now that he knew he could have a chance with Naruto, he had to think of a plan. How was he going to get Naruto to be his?

He figured he'd tackle the situation in the morning.

Neji was walking the roads. He didn't have another mission for a few days since Lee and Guy-sensei were off doing special training. He was heading back to the training grounds when he saw Naruto. Thinking he could finally put a plan in place, so Neji followed him. Of course, he's wants ramen.

Neji followed Naruto into Ichiraku. "Hello Naruto."

Neji saw Naruto stiffen before he turned to Neji. "Neji! What are you doing here?"

"Well this is a restaurant. I was hungry." Neji said coolly as he sat next to Naruto.

"Yeah." Naruto looked nervous.

The two ordered their food. Half way through, Neji thought he'd try to ask about what he overheard Hinata say.

"I overheard Lady Hinata say you turned her down. I figured that after everything we've gone through, you'd accept her love." Neji said very calmly but still noticed Naruto slow his actions.

"Yeah. I just don't love her the way she loves me."

Neji wanted to poke the bear a bit more. "Is there someone else you want?"

"Yeah. But I doubt anything will happen."

"Why is that?"

"Neji, I don't want to talk about it. It's a delicate situation."

"Very well." So, he's not going to admit anything. I guess I'll have to try another tactic.

"When do you think you'll claim your bet?"

"When I know there won't be any consequences. It was nice talking to you but I have to go." Neji watched Naruto leave.

After a few moments, Neji left to go train some more. He made it to the training grounds when he saw TenTen already there.

"Neji! Good. I need to practice some new weapons."

"I doubt you'll be able to get past my rotation."

"It's worth a shot."

The two fought for a few hours before Neji felt it was enough.

"We should go out somewhere." TenTen said.

"Like where?" Neji asked drinking water.

"I don't know. Lee and Guy sensei will be gone for another few days so why don't you and I do something together."

"I think we should just stick to practice." Neji started to walk away.

"Why do you always play hard to get?"

"Who's playing?"

"Neji, you know I like you yet you act like you're better than me."

"I am."

"You can be so rude sometimes. Give me a shot."

"No." Neji said as he started to walk away again.

"Why not?" TenTen sounded like she was following him.

"Because I don't like you that way. I like someone else."

"Like whom? You are one of the most anti-social people I know."

Neji turned to her, "would you rather me be like Lee?"

"Well, no."

Neji sighed. "I'm sorry. The person I like is currently struggling with their feels. I'm waiting on them."

"You're so vague."

"I have to be." Neji turned to walk away yet again.

"I'm not going to wait for you, Neji Hyuuga!"

"Then don't." Neji jumped away. It wasn't that he didn't like TenTen, she was a nice girl and she would have his back, but he always knew that girls didn't hold interest in him.

Neji questioned himself over and over again why he never found anyone he found mildly attractive enough that one day he might consider being with until recent months. It wasn't until he found out Naruto was following him and spying on him.

At first, it irritated him to have someone watch his every move while he trained. Then he started expecting it. Hoping for it. He started yearning that Naruto was watching him for him. The idea started stirring up feelings in Neji. Then images of Naruto invaded his mind.

Annoyed that his train of thought was having him sport another erection, Neji stopped jumping and started to walk thinking it would help cool him down.

Naruto Uzamaki. How am I going to make you mine?
