Neji's brows furrowed in realization that he was on his page.
"Why is my MySpace page pulled up?" Neji turned around, wet hair whipping around as he stared accusingly at Sasuke. The raven blushed a bit more.
"I accidentally clicked on your picture by accident." he lied.
Neji 'hmmm'ed and turned back to the computer. ~I'll let him off the hook for now…~ He pressed the back button and saw that Sasuke's page was displayed. I guess he was telling the truth…
"So…" Sasuke awkwardly said rubbing the back of his head, "Wanna go get something to eat?" he pointed behind his back with his thumb.
"Sure.. Like what?"
Sasuke started to pace around in circles. "Well, we could either eat mushy Lucky Charms or go out to eat."
They both stared at one another silently agreeing that it would be best to go out. Neji closed the laptop shut, and followed Sasuke out of the bedroom out into the hallway. Sasuke on the other hand was quite relieved that he lied like he did.
~If he finds out what I was doing, he wouldn't ever want to talk to me again… or at least for a while, it WOULD be rather awkward and weird…~ the ravenette thought as he flew down the steps, Neji at his heels. When he passed the kitchen, he saw Itachi and his mother eating.
"Ohayo Kaa-san. Itachi…" He greeted and snarled.
"Ohayo! Where might you two be going?" Mikoto smiled.
"Out to eat. Where's Tou-san?"
"Working again like always…" She sighed as Itachi continued to eat the soggy Lucky Charms. ~I swear… He's the only one who could eat it like that..~ Sasuke inwardly shuddered.
"Alright… come on Neji. Lets go. Be back after a while, Mom."
She waved us both off as Itachi dropped his bowl off in the sink and retreated to his room, waving the two off also.
"Hey, Sasuke?" Neji asked while he was walking alongside his friend in those early hours of the morning.
"Hn?" the raven replied.
"Why was your mother sad when you mentioned Fugaku-san?"
"Cause." his head went to the sky, "Dads never really around anymore… its always either work, paperwork, and/or more work. He always has this weird vibe, you know…?"
"Yeah.. I see what you mean. Its like me and Hiashi. He's my uncle and legal guardian since my dad passed away when I was born."
"Yeah.. I know…" Sasuke knew Neji's story. He told him back when they had started high school as freshman: How Neji never really knew his mother and father, and how he was raised by his uncle. His mom had died while giving birth to Neji himself, and when Hizashi, Neji's actual biological father, had been killed in a car accident driving mercilessly to the hospital to see his new baby boy.
"That's all in the past though. Where are we eating anyway?" Neji asked.
"Oh, I found this nice place while driving around the other day. 'Kyouki Kafe'" Sasuke replied. " Its really nice."
"That's awesome." Neji smiled up at Sasuke, giving the raven a small blush.
"Y-yeah…" he sniffled and kept walking.
Sitting down at in a booth closest to the back, the two situated themselves across each other. A waitress with short green hair and purple eyes came and greeted the two, setting menus in front of them.
"H-hello. My name is Kyouki. I-I started this restaurant." She said with a tiny smile. "W-what can I get you guys to drink?"
"Water." "Coffee."
"One c-coffee for the young man, and o-one water for the young lady?"
Neji's face looked very discombobulated, mostly with annoyance.
"Uh.. He's a guy.. Kyouki." Sasuke whispered to the waitress, who blushed in embarrassment.
"O-oh my!" She put a hand up to her mouth, "I-I'm so sorry! Gomen ne! I didn't mean to mix it up…"
Neji sighed. "Don't worry about it. I get it all the time."
"Yes sir… I apologize… I-I will be back with your drinks momentarily!" She rushed off into the back hurriedly.
Sasuke chuckled and held up his menu. "What are you gonna eat…… Neji-Chan?"
Sasuke could feel Neji's piercing glare through the menu. The brunette grumbled.
"Oh, I was just joking. Do you really get it all the time?" Sasuke dropped his menu and saw the cutest Neji he's ever seen: blushing and pouting.
"Yeah… I refuse to cut my hair." He started to pet it, "I love it too much. Many people think I'm a girl because of my hair and lavender eyes…" Sasuke snorted.
"So.. What're you gonna eat?"
Neji picked up his menu, quickly skimmed it and replied: "Waffuru."
"A waffle? That's it?" a nod soon followed, "See, this is why you are skinny. You need bacon in you life. Sausage. Any kind of meat." He had made Neji laugh. "What's so funny?"
"You." He smiled at Sasuke, who smiled back, blushing. Breaking their mini moment was Kyouki, who came in bearing water, coffee, and a little bowl.
"Here you g-go, gentlemen. I'm sorry for the little mix up before so I brought along some cherries. O-On the house." she placed the cherries in front of the two boys, in the middle of the table. "R-ready to order?"
"Uh.. Yeah. One waffle and an All-Star plate: Eggs scrambled and bacon please."
Kyouki quickly wrote what Sasuke had said on a small notepad and smiled at both of them, before shuffling off: "O-ok! Be right back."
"I could have said what I wanted you know.." the brunette said.
"Yeah, I know." Sasuke smirked the Uchiha Smirk. Neji huffed and picked up a cherry, popping it into his mouth. ~He knows I hate it when he smirks like that…~
"Have you ever tried that game," Sasuke started, "Where you can see who's the better kisser?"
Neji almost choked on the cherry's stem.
"N-no..! Where did that come from?" He coughed and sipped his water. Sasuke ate a cherry in one bite, pulling out the stem from his mouth with nothing on it. The Hyuuga blushed a bit.
"Well, once you eat the cherry itself, like I just did, you have to have a race to see who could tie the stem in a knot. The first one done is the better kisser of the two." Sasuke explained.
"And why are you telling me this?"
"Cause, in t-minus 5 seconds, we're gonna race." Sasuke grinned. Neji had a severe blush on his face by now.
"B-But!" he stammered, "You know I've never kissed anybody before!"
"4... 3... 2..." Sasuke looked at his nails.
Knowing that the boy across from him can't stand losing, Sasuke glanced at Neji, who ate a cherry extremely fast.
"Ok, so now what?" Neji said, holding a cherry stem in front of him.
"When I finish this sentence, try your hardest to put the cherry stem in a knot only using your mouth, starting now!"
They were both off, Sasuke almost halfway done already. Neji was having some serious problems, what with the stupid thing poking the sides of his mouth every half a second. Dammit.
Sasuke was already done, but he just let the knotted stem lay on his tongue. He decided to give Neji a bit of a handicap.
"Aw, fuck it." Neji finally said, throwing the (halfway bent-over) stem in the napkin on his right side. "You win…" Sasuke hummfed pulling out the perfectly made knot in the cherry. "I know I do."
Kyouki came back with the plates, expertly balancing them on her forearms.
"One W-waffle," She set it in front of Neji, "And your All-Star plate." She set it in front of Sasuke.
"En-enjoy, gentlemen." She smiled sweetly and walked off to help another customer.
Sasuke was already digging into his food, sending a few bits of eggs and grits flying onto Neji's face.
"Sasuke, slow down. I mean, really?" He wiped off the remains into his napkin. "Jeez… act a bit more civilized."
Sasuke only grunted in response.
Neji started to cut his waffle in fours and spreading light butter on each one. Pouring on only a little bit of syrup, he began to eat.
~I know Sasuke's a football player of Konoha High, but I didn't expect him to be as hungry as he is right now… Although… he is kinda cute when eats like that… WAITAMINUTEWHAT??!!~
Neji stopped eating, the fork stopped halfway to his mouth.
Sasuke gulped. "Hey, Neji? Are you alright there, buddy?"
Neji jumped a few feet, smiling awkwardly at Sasuke.
"I-I'm fine, Sasuke." ~I think…~
The Uchiha looked at Neji with one eyebrow raised, and food on the corners of his mouth. ~He never calls me by my first name..~
"You sure?" Sasuke asked as Neji looked at Sasuke, their eyes connecting. Both blushed and looked down at their food.
"Yeah.. I-I'm fine."
~Although I COULD'VE SWORN I was straight…~
I'm sick. D8
I hate being sick.
I cant move my neck at all, and its killing me.. And I'm hacking…
The light from the laptop is giving me a headache.. But I still wanna type..
