Compulsive Noties!

I've added something...well changed it. Every time it changes to the other character (between sasu and naru) the time breaker will change, when it's staying one person's POV it'll just look like this -:- but when it's changing characters, it will look like this .-:-. Then the name will follow. That should help transitions quiet a bit. I'm trying to be a bit more organized! Alrightie, there you go.

Over the years I've learned two things.

One: One night stands aren't half as good as stable relationships.

And Two: To keep someone wrapped around your finger, you have to walk away.

The less you show, the more they want.

That's exactly why I hadn't been to see Sasuke in a week.

He needed to want to be with me.

And I'd be damned this didn't work.

There was something in him that wanted me already, I could tell.

'Cause that sure wasn't a roll of quarters I felt in his pocket. But I had to shake it awake. That way, when he saw me again, there would be no denying it.

Sasu

Where the hell was he? It's been a week and he hasn't even stopped by at all, not even once! And it's not like I have his number, so I can't call him. And he surely doesn't have mine, so what am I to do?

Wait, I mean...it's not like I want to see him. Right?

Because...I don't?

"Uchiha-san?"

"Hn?" Lee took a few steps closer, and dropped a load of books that stacked higher than he could see over.

"Uchiha-san, do you think I could stay with you tonight? I'll sleep on the couch, and everything! But I don't really have anywhere else to go on such short notice."

"What? Why?" I put down my pen.

"Well, you see, my parents left to go to their high school Reunion, and won't be back for..." He paused, and used his fingers to count to five, mouthing each number.

"Five days." He held up his hand.

"So why are you asking to stay with me for one day?" I inquired,

"Because, I have someplace to go for all the other days, and I left my keys in the house..."

"You. Left. Your. Keys. In. The. House? Ask me if I'm surprised."

"Are you surprised?" He asked confused by the statement.

"It's a figure a speech, Lee."

"Oh..." I rubbed his, now facing the ground, head.

"It's fine Lee. But Why are they gone five days, that's a bit long, don't you think?" He picked up the stack of books,

"That's what I thought," He huffed, clearly over-doing his load. I removed a few, so I could see his face,

"But they said they enjoyed the area when they were there, and wanted to stay a little while longer." He put the books down and began to put them away on the shelves.

"Hn." I replied returning to my paper work.

"So is it not a good day?" He asked looking up from the book cover he was focused on.

"No, Lee it's fine, I wouldn't want you sleeping on the streets, now would I?"

"Thank you, Uchiha-san!" He cried, taking no time to get to me and pull me into a very tight embrace.

"You're, welcome, Lee." I coughed, as he let go,

"Oh, sorry." He returned to the shelf.

-:-

I unlocked the front door and Lee followed me in.

"This is a really nice place!" And I didn't take a lot of looks around, but it was. I wasn't a clean freak, but I didn't like living in filth, so it was fairly clean. He dropped his bag next to the couch and made his way around the building.

"Even your bathroom glows! I don't even wanna pee in it!" He yelled from the bathroom.

"Thanks..." I trailed off. I fell into the couch, let my head tilt back, and sighed.

Would Naruto ever enter my dwelling, and make it a home? Would he ever take me again, if so would he do it here? My thoughts drifted back to that night and I shook my head.

"No." I whispered.

"What?" Lee called from the closed bathroom door. Damn his acute hearing.

"I said something?" I lied. The toilet flushed, and I heard the sink turn on, then off, before Lee exited.

"I'm quite sure I heard you say something."

"Well...I didn't." I sighed, and rubbed my palms into my eye brows.

"I'm going to bed."

"Already? But we just got here..." He trailed off.

"I know, but my day starts fairly early tomorrow...I have some errands to run before I need to open up."

"Oh." He sounded disappointed.

"Oh yeah...you eat dinner don't you?" He nodded, then looked up at me confused,

"Do you not?" Not normally.

"Well, I do...but..." I we exchanged places, before I headed to the kitchen.

I scanned the fridge...

"Nothing."

"What?"

"Do you want shrimp and noodles?" I called.

"Sure!" Lee answered from the living room. Tonight was going to be...interesting...

-:-

It was three AM when a knock arose at my door, I rolled over in my bed, when it came again.

"Oh yeah, Lee's here..." He came in,

"Sensei?"

"Yes, Lee?"

"I had a bad dream..." I sighed frustrated, what was he 10?

"Do you want to sleep on the floor in here?" I wasn't look at him but I knew he nodded. I heard the sound of shuffling blankets, and he laid down next to me, in front of the night stand.

"Thank you, this means a lot, Sensei."

"No problem..." I turned over, and prayed I didn't sleep talk, because if I did, this was not going to go in my favor.

Naru

It'd been exactly a week and a half, now was the time to go see Sasuke. When I got to the shop, and walked in, no one was there, except a few customers, and Lee.

When he noticed it was me, he quickly came from behind the desk.

"Naruto, I'm glad to see you. And, boy, do I have news." What was this kid? My little watch dog?

"Uchiha-san is out for his break, but I need to tell you something while he's gone, so come to the back room with me."He demanded before pulling me into the back room,

"Um, don't you have customers you should be tending on."

"Oh, they'll be fine." He insisted.

When we got to the back room he sat me down, and took a seat in front of me.

"So what's this 'Important News'?" I asked.

"Okay, so let me start out by saying, Uchiha-san has the hots for you. Despite what the other half of his mind may believe. And that he sleep talks."

"How does the second part protain to me?"

"I'm getting to that, but I stayed at his house, and-"

"Why were you at his house?" Lee sighed,

"Because my parents were out of town, I had no place else to go, and I left my keys in the locked up house."

"Oh."

"Anyway! I played the 'I-had-a-bad-dream-can-I-sleep-in-your-room' part, so I could test my theory, that he sleep talks?"

He has a theory?

"And it was true! All night long he was calling your name, and not in his normal monotoned voice, but a very...emotional voice. And I ain't talken sad."

Wow. This kid wasn't a joke at all. He knew what he was doing. And it seemed like he was talking faster than he should have been due to the fact he knew Sasuke was going to talk through the door at any moment.

Then said male walked through the door.

.-:-.
Sasu

When I came back into the back room to drop off my coat and bag, I saw Naruto sitting across from Lee. I stopped as the door shut behind me, and my heard race quickened.

"Lee? Explaination please?" I asked, hoping my words weren't as jumbled up as my thoughts.

"I got this cool tattoo on my side, see? It's from a cereal box!" He smile, while lifting his shirt to expose the temporary tattoo. I looked at him disapprovingly,

"What? Was I not to show him my awesome tattoo?"

"Lee, it's a bunny. And there are people waiting for you to ring up their orders." He smiled a toothy smile, and left leaving us alone in the back room.

"It's been some time." He stood up and made his way over to me, in a very...sexy fashion. My breathing became jagged as I looked for words to say.

"Some...time?"

"Yes, we shouldn't be apart for such periods of time." He smiled as he grabbed my chin. My heart rate was faster than I wanted to show. And although he was only a few inches taller than me, it felt like he towered over my tipped back head.

I broke from his grip.

"It hasn't been that long." I said with a bit more confidence, as I took off my jacket.

He exuded...I don't know how to describe it...it was...like a...sense of strength. No, of knowledge.

"You've been on my mind all this time, Sasuke."

And as badly as I wanted to say that it was true for me, too,

"I'm not gay." Was the only lie I could muster.

Now we're getting somwhere with this whole "I'm not gay." LIE. I mean everyone knows it's a lie, even Lee! At lease he knows he's lying. But why does he keep doing this.

"Cause maybe I'm not?"

-Scoffs- Well, that's a lie also! hahaha...
