Noties

If you don't know this is Compulsive by now, I feel the need to shoot you. -smiles- Anyway, I am so sorry it took so long to update, I have been busy, posting new storys...and what not. And I know it's short. But, you'll know what's in the envalope now. And could this be-

Gaara-Will you shut up and let these people read already?

Compulsive-Alright already.

When I awoke in the middle of the night, I realized how dry my mouth was. I don't believe in my whole life, even after living in the desert, my throat had been this dry. After I wiggled out of bed, I made my way to the kitchen, which I have to say, was the cleanest thing I'd seen since I lived with my uncle. It took me about 5 minutes before I found the cup cabinet, where he had nothing but glass cups. After about 6 cups, two bathroom visits, and a stubbed toe, I came across the envelope that Neji had handed Lee.

Nobody likes a nosy person Gaara

There is a thin line between nosy and curious. I'm just curious.

Fine open it. You'll probably regret it anyway.

That is my own business, thank you very much.

I unhooked the brad, as carefully as I could, pulling out the top piece of paper.

Dear Lee,

I'm sorry I can't do this anymore. It's beginning to get…hard for me. I'm leaving it at that, and you can ask no more questions. Done. But this is what I have, it's only five pictures, but it'll have to do.

Signed,

Neji

I put it back, I would be nosy on another day, right now, I just wanted to get back to bed.

Lee's movements woke me up, from my light slumber. I could tell he was trying his hardest not to wake me up. My eyes were still closed when I spoke to him, "Lee, I don't see why you just wouldn't stay there."

"Huh?" I pulled him closer, as he turned toward my shirtless body. "Why wouldn't I want to wake up with you in my arms?" When I opened my eyes he was smiling softly. A knock came from the door, and our smiles faded, "I'm going to lock us into a sound proof room." I let him go and he went to answer it. I went around the corner to see who it was. It was Gai.

Lee immediately when into 'Lee Mode', "Hai, Gai-sensei?" Gai was running in place, "Time to train my young star!"

"I can't."

"What?"

"I can't"

"And why would that be?"

"Um…busy night?"

"Fine, but you're missing out." He trotted away, like a horse. I crawled under the covers again, by the time Lee got back, I looked like I hadn't moved.

"Gaara, doesn't the demon take over you when you sleep?"

"Yes but we're on an agreement, and I have about 5 different seals in action right now."

"Oh."

The next night, I awoke for a different reason. But of course I walked past the envelope again, it taunted me this time, so I opened it again, this time reading it with the most care possible. After I had re-read the letter I became confused.

What did he mean by 'hard for him'? What was there only five of? Did this have anything to do with me? I pulled out the second paper, and to my dismay, it did have to do with me, very much so, it was a picture. I pulled out the 3rd, me again, 4th, 5th, 6th. They were all of me. In the 1st I was eating breakfast, the 2nd, sleeping, 3rd, getting dressed, and the last two were much more...personal.

I didn't know whether to be disturbed or flattered. And why had Neji of all people agreed to do this? I still didn't understand why it had become hard for him. I put them back, all of them, in the order I found them, and closed the brad back up. I didn't really want to leave, because Lee would feel sad, but I needed sometime to think over things. I threw on my clothes, and stood in the doorway looking at him. But turning around I headed for the door, there were a few things I had to ask Neji.
