Chapter 11

Another month later, Neji and Sasuke were sitting in the lunch room again. It was deadly silent. This was Sasuke's last day. Neji looked at Sasuke. He wanted to look at him as much as possible, since he wanted to remember him.

Sasuke was just looking back at Neji. He really didn't know what to say or what to do. He wanted to hold Neji close, but the chances were so big he would never let go, he forced himself not to.

Neji bit his lip, as he had finished his lunch.

"..So.. do you look forward to seeing your friends and family again?" Neji asked after some time.

"..I guess yes.." Sasuke answered. He hadn't taken a bite of his lunch. He just couldn't eat. He was nervous and he didn't want to leave. Not yet.

The bell rang now, so they could head back towards their cells. Neji sighed and got up.

Sasuke got up too and the two of them silently got back to their cell. Sasuke looked at Neji now.

"..I really don't know what to say." He softly said.

"Me neither.." Neji softly said, as they walked inside of the cell. When the cell closed, Neji looked at Sasuke and bit his lip. Then he suddenly tossed himself into Sasuke's arms and kissed him full on the mouth.

Sasuke grabbed Neji and kissed back. It was all he wanted and all he could do. God he would miss Neji so much. He would miss Neji forever, he was sure of it. He would miss Neji's kisses, Neji's body, Neji's hair...everything. He would miss Neji.

Neji felt tears entering his eyes as he gripped Sasuke's back as hard as he could. He pressed Sasuke close to him and kissed back like his life depended on it. He'd miss him so much..

Sasuke kissed back too but then broke it, knowing he was about to cry. He pulled Neji closer and buried his face in Neji's neck. "Why won't you just let me come back?" He said as tears immediately ran down his face.

"..Because I won't be able to take it.. if you only spend your life on me while you could have so much more.." Neji softly sobbed. "..Please.. have your goodbye with me.. and then live on.."

"..Please don't do this to me.. I love you Neji.. I can't move on without you.. Please just let me visit. Why can't you just let me visit?" Sasuke sobbed as he grabbed Neji even tighter.

"..You have to understand.." Neji softly said as tears went down his face.

"..I don't understand! Just let me visit you Neji! Just let me see you!" Sasuke yelled now, all his frustrations coming out. He couldn't lose Neji. Neji had pulled him through everything. He just couldn't leave him.

Neji sighed now, as he hold on onto Sasuke even more.

"...S-Sasuke.. I don't like it either.. but I.. won't make it if you keep visiting.. I'll miss you too much.. and you won't be able to have a nice l-life.." Neji whispered.

"..I need you..." Sasuke sobbed as he burst out in crying. He never cried. He had never wanted to cry either. But right now, it really was all he could do

"..I need you as well.. but it's t-the best.." Neji softly said. "..I'll miss you.."

"..I'll m-miss you too.. Promise me.. promise me you won't forget me.." Sasuke whispered and then sniffed, taking a deep breath after. He wasn't done crying though.

"..I w-won't.." Neji softly said, nodding. He would be all alone now. Shikamaru and Kiba had been released already, and now Sasuke.. but he would be left with really nice memories.

"..I won't forget you either...And I'll always l-love you.." Sasuke said and grabbed Neji again, crying.

"I'll l-love you as well...I do now, and I always w-will." Neji sobbed.

"...I don't wanna lose you Neji.." Sasuke said. He knew this was the only way. For both of them. But it was so fucking hard to let go.

"..It is t-the only way.." Neji sobbed, as he pulled Sasuke with him to the bed and made Sasuke sit as he sat down onto Sasuke's lap.

Sasuke hugged Neji tightly and kissed Neji's neck. "I know...I love you.." He softly said.

"..I love you t-too.." Neji softly said, kissing Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke grabbed Neji's head now and kissed him on the lips, softly and gentle. He didn't want it any other way. If only he could just keep doing this after tomorrow. If only he could just stay.

Neji softly moaned as he kissed back, closing his eyes. This might be one of their last kisses. He hated the thought, but it was reality. He had to accept it.

Sasuke closed his eyes too as he stroke through Neji's hair now. Neji's pretty long hair. God how he would miss that. How he would miss everything.

Neji sighed as he stroke over Sasuke's back, not wanting to let go.. he wanted to touch that body one last time, enjoy it for the last time... He never wanted this to end.

Sasuke let his hands roam over Neji's body, wanting to remember every inch. Every touch. He then broke the kiss and held Neji's face, looking into his eyes. Those pearl white eyes he loved. He remembered Neji's features. He couldn't believe he would have to let Neji go. He didn't want it.

All of a sudden, a guard opened the door.

"Time's up lovebirds." He said and grinned. "Mister Uchiha, you have to come with me." Neji felt his stomach turn now as tears entered his eyes again. So this was it. This was their goodbye. Neji quickly brought Sasuke close and kissed him deeply on the lips, while tears streamed down his face again.

Sasuke wasn't even able to completely kissed back. Tears streamed down his face and he then grabbed Neji tightly, hugging him close as he broke the kiss. "..I'll never forget you.. Don't you ever forget that.." Sasuke whispered.

"..I w-won't forget you either.." Neji sobbed. "..I'll miss you.." He held onto Sasuke for dear life. He didn't wanted him to go.

"..I'll m-miss you too...Neji, I'll always love you.." Sasuke said and cried as he felt the same way Neji did. He didn't wanted to go. Didn't want to leave Neji behind. But there was nothing he could do.

Neji nodded as he give Sasuke a kiss in his neck.

"..G-go.." He sobbed.

"Come on, I don't have all day." The guard said as he took some handcuffs out of his pockets. "There's someone waiting for you." He told Sasuke.

Sasuke grabbed Neji's head as he kept sobbing and crying. He looked at Neji and then kissed him on the lips again. "..I love you.." He whispered and then got up. He just had to leave now. Or he would never be able to. And somewhere, he really wanted to never be able to either. But this was what Neji wanted.

Neji bit his lip now, as the tears kept coming. The guard now handcuffed Sasuke and took him out of the cell and then closed the celldoor again. Neji stood now and walked towards the cell bars, shakily, and then touched Sasuke's cheek with his hand.

"Goodbye.." He softly said, sadly smiling at Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at Neji now, crying his heart out silently. "..Please say you love me too.." Sasuke said. He just needed to hear it. Needed to hear Neji say it to him. God why did it had to go like this?

"..I love you too Sasuke.. m-more then anyone.." Neji sobbed, as the guard now pulled Sasuke with him, obviously having enough of it.

Sasuke bit his lip as he let the guard pull him with him. He stared at Neji through wet eyes. He didn't want to say goodbye. Didn't want to have to miss Neji. He and the guard now turned a corner and Sasuke broke down crying from knowing that that had been the last time he had seen Neji. The only person he would ever love.

As Sasuke had passed the corner Neji broke down as well, as he just slumped down onto the ground now, burying his face into his arms. He knew he never was going to see Sasuke anymore, and it hurt. It tore his heart apart. But there was no other choice. Sasuke had to start a new life. A new life without Neji playing a role in it. That was the only thing that made Neji feel relieved about the whole situation. Sasuke would be happy in the end. He'd have a family, perhaps even kids, and he would be happy. And if Sasuke would be happy, Neji knew, he would be happy as well. Because he loved Sasuke and would always do that.

The End.
