"He cheated?"

Sasuke nodded grimly, eyelids shut.

"Yup. With my other best friend."

Neji thought for a minute, but nothing came to mind.

"Who?"

"Gaara No Sabaku."

Neji had heard of this Gaara fellow around school: he was a red head, had a tattoo on his forehead, and had no eyebrows.

Ew. (A/N: Don't get me wrong! I luffles Gaa-chan! :D)

"Why him of all people?"

"I dunno… it was Naru's choice. I cant help that. Oh well," He stretched out his arms and legs before hanging limp on the beanbag, "It's all been said and done. Besides we worked it out. We're friends, but we just wont trust each other as much as we did." He turned his head to Neji, "Do ya get me?"

"Yeah… I see." Neji replied before asking, "Ne, 'Suke?"

"Hmm?"

"Just for the record, I wouldn't do that. It would feel too wrong." The brunette fell backward onto the bed.

Sasuke picked his head up and smiled a bright smile at Neji.

"Thanks…"

Neji yawned. "Who sleeps where Sasuke?" Sasuke picked himself up off of the comfortable bag and yawned too as he glanced at the clock. 4 in the fucking morning. "I don't care. Where do you want to sleep?"

"In the bed."

"Then your sleeping with me. I refuse to sleep anywhere else."

Neji opened his mouth to protest, but it was silenced by another yawn.

"Yeah.. Sure, whatever… Want the wall or the edge?" He got up from his lax position and stood next to Sasuke, who looked like he was in deep thought on which side he wanted to sleep on, when really he felt like he could sleep standing up.

"-ke, Sasuke? Hello? I said which side, dumbass."

"Oh, uh.. you roll when you sleep… dontcha??"

Neji stared at the bed.

"Take the edge." He crawled to the farthest side of the bed, and pulled up the covers. He turned toward Sasuke, waiting for the raven to situate himself onto his side. Sasuke turned to Neji on the queen sized bed.

"Good night…" His eyelids were drooping. He didn't realize how tired he was.

"G'night, 'Suke…" Surely, Neji's eyelids were drooping too, and his words started to slur.

The two silently fell asleep, not aware of what was to come in between them.


The Next Morning,

Itachi quietly tiptoed through Sasukes room, seeing as his otouto was sleeping in along with his best friend. Their mom, Mikoto, had asked Itachi to wake up both boys by seven (after yelling at him for spending the night at Deidara's again without permission). But being the older brother he is, he let them sleep in until noon, and felt that it was high time to wake them up.

Seeing the comforter on the floor, he made his way to the bed.

And saw one of the cutest pictures alive.

~Oh, this'll make GREAT blackmail… Nishishishi…~

Sasuke and Neji were cuddling, probably drawn to each other last night. It would make sense really, humans crave warmth. Their legs were tangled together, and Neji's head was on Sasuke's chest. BARE chest. Sasuke had his arms around Neji protectively, as if nobody was going to take him away. You could hear the soft sighs coming from their mouths.

Itachi tiptoed out of the room once again only to return with a camera, pot, and metal stirring spoon. Quickly taking the picture and stuffing the camera into his shirt pocket, he went as close as he could to the bed.

The metal spoon in his right hand, and pot in the other, he looked at the clock above the headboard of the bed and waited for the second hand to reach the 12.

~In T-Minus 4, 3, 2...~

"WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU SLEEPING BEAUTIES!!!" He commenced clanging the two kitchen utensils as hard and as fast as he could.

The smaller Uchiha woke with a jump that sent Neji flying into the adjacent wall and, hair disheveled, stood up as best as he could. (Which wasn't great because he was still groggy)

"What?! Wheresss the fire…?!" He slurred, eyelids halfway open.

Neji, in the same state as Sasuke, jumped up next to the raven. His hair looked like a birds nest and his shorts were halfway on his hips.

"Fireee?! Wheree? I sheee no fire…!"

Itachi was laughing hysterically on the floor, tears at the corners of his eyes and gripping his stomach it hurt so much.

"I expected you guys to overreact," He said between laughs, "But this is just priceless!"

He received glares from both boys.

"These are the days I wish I didn't have an Aniki. Do you want him Neji?" He turned to the brunette, arms crossed across his naked chest. Neji promptly shook his head no.

"Only if you want to torture me."

Itachi, now rising up from the floor, wiped the excess tears from the sides of his eyes.

"HOOooo… that was great… I'll see you two later. Try to keep yourselves off of each other, Alright?" He left the room and closed the door behind him, leaving the two to glare at the door with identical blushes on their faces.

"Now that we're up.. WITH A RUDE AWAKENING," Sasuke yelled at the door, "lets get cleaned up." Neji nodded a groggy nod, and went to a little corner to get his backpack.

"I dunno why you bring a backpack when you live right next door." Sasuke pointed to the window.

"Cause. Its easier."

Sasuke felt like that was explanation enough and went to his drawer to pick out some clothes for the day. Thinking that a plain dark blue t-shirt and jeans would be okay for whatever they planned, he glanced back at Neji.

"Do you want to take a shower first?"

"I really don't care… Whatever you want to do. Its your house." He finished digging through the backpack, and took his clothes with his as he stood up, with a bottle of shampoo and comb on top of the pile. "You can go first."

"Alright."

----

When Sasuke came out of the shower 15 minutes later, he dried his hair and left the towel on top of his head. Walking out fully dressed back into his room, he saw a daydreaming Neji sitting on his rolling desk chair staring out of the window. Sasuke coughed to get his attention, which worked because the Hyuuga prodigy whipped his head to Sasukes direction, grinning sheepishly.

"Sorry… My head was in the clouds." Sasuke smiled.

"Its ok. Shower's waiting for you."

"Mmkay." Neji mumbled and stood taking his clothes up from off of the bed. As he walked to the door though, he dropped his shampoo, and Sasuke picked it up for him. Being the nosy busy-body he started to read the label, while Neji stood waiting amicably.

Sasuke rose a brow and smirked at Neji. "Bath and Body Works, Hyuuga?" Neji blushed profusely.

"It smells good!" He exclaimed in defense and caught the bottle as it was thrown to him.

"At least I use something other than 'Peaches and Melon'."

Neji glared at Sasuke before slamming the door behind him. The raven had won this round.

----

When Neji returned, Sasuke had his hair in his normal spiked fashion and was on the laptop typing something. The brunette, now clad in a white shirt and black shorts, threw his clothes into the backpack. Startling Sasuke in the process, he quickly minimized what he was doing and turned around in the chair he was in.

"Hey.."

"Hey yourself," Neji looked at Sasukes obsidian eyes with his own lavender orbs and he knew something was up. "What are you doing?"

Sasuke looked like the jig was up. He sighed. "Nothing. What would make you think that?"

"Move."

Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows at Neji. Did he just command Sasuke to do something? In his own home?

"Come again?"

"Move." The Hyuuga repeated. Sasuke knew that Neji knew something. Maybe he had seen what he was doing..?

"Why should I?"

Neji leaned closer to Sasuke, their faces dangerously close.

"'Cause. I. Said. So." His wet hair fell over his shoulders and he made sure every syllable was present.

Sasuke was never this close to Neji before. They had been neighbors since before they could talk, and quickly became friends, but when Neji got this close to Sasuke, the raven couldn't help but blush and move out of the seat. Letting Neji sit down while he stood behind it, he rested his arms on the backboard of the seat and prepared for the worst.

As Neji maximized the little window of the computer, he saw that it was a MySpace page.

Not just any old MySpace page. But his own.
