"Stop looking at me."

Uchiha Sasuke was snapped out of his reverie by the sound of his replacement's voice. He let out a silent gasp and turned away with speed that could have given him whip lash. The artist paid the last Uchiha no mind as he continued to focus on the sketch in his hands. After a few seconds, his gazed lingered back onto the pale young man.

"Sasuke," the artist paused to set his sketch pad and his charcoal aside, "is something the matter?" He gazed into Sasuke's eyes with his matching onyx ones. The Uchiha shook his head and Sai picked up his pad to resume his drawing. "Then stop looking at me like that. It's annoying."

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked; surprised with himself at how level his voice was. Sai glanced up at his partner and held up his piece of charcoal with an exasperated sigh.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" He raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to the side so that his bangs fell onto his face. Sasuke bit his lip and turned away again. "If you're going to keep looking at me and turning away every thirty seconds, I'm going to have to kindly ask you to leave."

"You're kicking me out, then?" Sasuke turned back to the slightly older male. Sai frowned slightly as he shook his head. Sasuke continued to stare at him with a blank expression until he finally stood up. "Alright, I'll go then."

"No," Sai was holding onto his wrist in less than five seconds. "Stay," he commanded gently. Sasuke smirked triumphantly and sat back down. "I'm trying to draw something and I want it to be perfect," Sai explained as he sat down beside the Uchiha. "I didn't mean to be rude."

"Stop being such a perfectionist all the time," Sasuke stated while shaking his head. He leaned over slightly so that his shoulder was touching Sai's. "What are you drawing, anyway?" He wondered as he rested his head on Sai's shoulder to get a closer look of the sketch. Sai raised the sketch book slightly to give the Sharingan wielder a better view.

"It's you."

Sasuke looked down at the portrait of himself. His black eyes looked into that of the image's and he smirked slightly. Sai studied his face for his opinion on the picture, but his expression didn't display his feelings.

"Huh, I suppose it is me."
