Sasuke started his car, the jeep purring to life. Naruto, who was in the passengers seat, looked at the raven, trying to see why his boyfriend was acting the way he was. When Sasuke started to pull the PRNDL (Purr-IN-dull) Naruto laid his hand on Sasuke's.

"You seemed totally out of it today.. Wanna tell me what's up?" He looked sincerely into Sasuke's eyes. The onyx eyes softened.

"You really want to know..?" He sighed. Naruto nodded.

~Damn…~

"I kinda… told Neji off in first period..?"

He wasn't braced when the blonde hit him upside the head. For the second time today, if he might add.

"Sasuke! What'd you say? Was it really bad? I knew something was up when he didn't sit with us today!" Naruto huffed at the quarterback.

"I told about half the class a secret that was supposed to stay between us…" He rubbed the back of his head, "And called him a whole bunch of names I really didn't mean.."

"You guys keep secrets in between yourselves?" Naruto feigned hurt, clutching his heart dramatically.

Sasuke chuckled, caressing Naruto's cheek with his free hand.

"I'm not gonna lie, but yeah… it's just the little things though. Like things he keeps to himself." Sasuke said truthfully. Naruto saw that and smiled, leaning into Sasuke's touch blushing.

"And it was really serious?"

~I thought I got out of it… *sigh*~

"Yeah… It was…"

"Why don't you go and apologize to him? Once you drop me off I mean. He is your best friend ya know.." Naruto said. Sasuke had a worried face on, but the blonde smiled, showing him that everything would be alright. He took Sasuke's hand, and kissed it.

"Thanks.. Naru…"

He didn't feel as worried as he had been, thanks to Naruto..


Ok, scratch that, he was REALLY worried.

After dropping off Naruto at his house, he drove back to his own residence, parking his car in the Uchihas' driveway. He was feeling good and confident. But now, he was at the Hyuuga's front door, in a pair of jeans and a plain blue t-shirt. Hesitating, he rang the doorbell and rubbed his forearm. When the door opened, Hiashi stood there, eyeing Sasuke.

"Uchiha. What are you doing here?"

"I.. uh.. wanted to talk to Neji.." He stammered.

The elder Hyuuga rose an eyebrow, looking Sasuke up and down, but let Sasuke in by moving to the side. The raven quickly made his way up the steps, not wanting to be in Hiashi-sama's presence anymore. It sorta made him uneasy. Stopping in front of Neji's door, he rubbed the back of his head with one hand and knocked with the other.

"Neji?" He whispered.

You could hear shuffles.

"Who is it..?" Neji asked from beyond the door.

"Someone who is truly sorry for today.. And is a jackass."

The door creaked open. Neji came out, dressed in a dark gray robe and white shorts. His hair was put up in a high ponytail.

"What are you doing here?" He demanded, narrowing his eyes. Sasuke sighed.

"To apologize.." he dropped his hand that was rubbing the back of his head to his side, "I… was out of line today in first.."

Neji looked Sasuke in the eye, and when he saw that the taller was being honest, he sighed. Turning around, he motioned for Sasuke to come and sit on his bed with him.

Sasuke closed the door behind him, walking over to Neji. The brunette was currently thinking as anybody could tell, because he had crossed his legs and had his head in his hands. The raven sat next to him, making him bounce and open his eyes.

"I didn't mean to say that… I was just… well.. I wasn't really thinking and it just came out…" He ranted, "I apologize and I-" "It's ok." "-don't want you… Huh?"

"Its ok.. I know you didn't mean it… I didn't mean the words that I said either.." Neji explained, blushing and pulling a stray hair behind his ear and uncrossing his legs. Sasuke smiled.

"Great! I'm glad we worked this out!" He laughed. It was easier than he thought.

"Hehe… yeah…" Neji smiled a small smile at his friend, still blushing.

"Why is it so dark in here?" Sasuke squinted dramatically. Neji huffed, turning his head away from Sasuke.

"I like having only the lamplight on. The fan light is way too bright." He motioned up. (1)

Sasuke shrugged, "Ahh well…" He fell backwards onto the bed, his hands locking behind his head. Neji looked back briefly, only to turn his head back, blushing more.

~Stop it! Dammit! He's gonna notice!!~

"So, Neji.." Said brunette jumped, "How long have you and Itachi-Nii been going out?" He turned his head to face the smaller one.

"Starting today…" He whispered. Sasuke blushed, looking away.

"Cool.. Cool… I just… didn't know that you were gay."

"Ehehe… yeah…" He smiled, looking back at Sasuke after his blush subsided, "I kinda figured it out a few nights ago.." He pulled the same piece of hair back behind his ear.

"Ah.." Sasuke sat up, "What do you see in him? He's my older brother for Pete's sake…" He inquired. Neji laughed, pushing Sasuke's arm playfully.

"I like him, ok? That's all you need to know." He smiled.

~And NOT that he's helping me get to you.~ Neji thought to himself.

"Hmph.. Ok. I was just wondering." Sasuke said, sniffling, "I should get home." He stood up, brushing his shirt off a bit. Neji stood too, bringing his robe around his waist protectively.

"See you at school tomorrow?" The brunette followed Sasuke to his door. The raven turned around once he stopped and smiled down at Neji in the open doorway.

"Sure. Sit with me at lunch?"

"OK."

Sasuke was going to turn around, but he stood there staring into the younger's eyes. Lavender eyes blinked a few times, but stared at the onyx without moving. Sasuke's hand came and brushed Neji's cheek, pulling a stray hair behind his ear and the Hyuuga couldn't stop blushing. When Sasuke's hand dropped, he descended down the steps with a smile.

Neji didn't move until he heard the front door close. Which he then quickly walked into his room and locked the door, proceeding to fall on his bed with a contented smile on his face. He had to resist the urge to squeal loudly, so he did it in the best way he could possibly could.

~KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!~
