Disheveling an Uchiha

In his short albeit eventful life, Naruto had been in more than his fair share of awkward situations. There was the time he found Baa-chan and Shizune playing out a bdsm fantasy with Jiraiya in Baa-chan's office. Or the time Anko hog tied him and threw him into the local bath-house; which, incidentally, was what turned him off of women in the first place. One hundred naked women beating up the, 14 at the time, boy was more then enough to give him an irrational fear of naked women. Still, neither of these compared to what Naruto was now feeling.

He now sat in between Neji, whom was glaring at Sasuke in such a way that he was now on the "Potential Threats List", and Sasuke, whom was trying to, oh so casually, brush his leg against Naruto's.

It was strange for Naruto to receive so much attention, particularly of the physical variety. Not that he minded, they were both quite attractive. Unfortunately, Naruto couldn't touch either one due to the fact that he was on a mission. He was pretty sure that qualified as letting his guard down.

He fidgeted and looked from one to the other. Normally he didn't fidget, even when he was nervous. However, he felt that in this case it would be good to appear nervous. It tended to make people more trusting; and he needed Sasuke to trust him.

"So…..your Sasuke huh? I've heard a lot about you."

Naruto smiled in a friendly way. Sasuke meanwhile smirked and gave Neji an meaningful glance.

"Oh? All good things I hope. I would hate to have you think poorly of me before we even met."

Naruto paused before speaking again. Sasuke was a smooth talker. More importantly, he was making a move on his so called best friend's obvious crush. He could see why Sasuke had so many enemies.

"Mostly good things."

Naruto turned back to Neji, who brightened considerably when Naruto turned his full attention on him.

"Sasuke is in our first period, right?"

Neji nodded and flipped his hair back. Naruto decided that it would be fun to run his fingers through that hair. He was willing to bet that both his and Sasuke's reactions would be interesting. Then he decided that Anko was wearing off on him. Shudder.

He covertly slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a paper scrap. He then reached his hand up, paper hidden within, and threaded it gently through Neji's hair. It was soft…and Neji was….purring? Sasuke on the other hand was glowering at Neji so fiercely that Naruto wondered why he hadn't caught fire under that gaze. That definitely qualified as interesting.

Naruto pulled his hand back giving Neji his best startled look. Playing the innocent friend, he held the paper up to Neji's face.

"It was stuck in you hair".

Naruto watched, fascinated, as Neji realized that he had been purring, and that Naruto was NOT coming on to him. Neji sputtered and blushed furiously.

This mission was becoming fun.

Sasuke had decided to let Neji's attitude slide in favor of checking out the delectable blond who was now seated between them. Naruto was the perfect name for him, because he wanted to eat the blond up. Not that Sasuke would ever admit to having such vulgar thoughts.

It was curious that the blond was not responding to his ministrations. No one had resisted him this long.

Whatever Neji had been doing to the man must have been devious. Sasuke would have to keep them apart if he wanted to taste the blond first; especially after Naruto had practically turned Neji into goo with that stroking. Sasuke wouldn't let that happen again, even if it had been priceless to see Neji make a fool of himself over such a simple gesture. The fact that Naruto wasn't flirting? Icing on the cake.

Sasuke wasn't sure why he was behaving this way. It wasn't rare for him to steal Neji's romantic interests from him. It was rare for him to actually be interested in the guys Neji picks. Sure there were a few attractive guys in their high school, but none were worthy of being more then Sasuke's boy toy.

Wait…boy toy, really? Kami, what was he, a 13 year old girl?

Anyway, Naruto didn't fall at his feet like the others did. More importantly, he felt like there was something dangerous hidden underneath the blonde's façade. Perhaps that was why Sasuke was so interested. Naruto was no cowering uke, and though he would never admit this to Neji, Sasuke did prefer bottom. It must run in the family or something, because Itachi was the same way.

NO! Bad Images! Uhg, now he was going to be picturing that for the rest of the day. Great.

Sasuke came back to reality when Neji finally pulled himself together to speak.

"Er….it's 4:00. Didn't you say you had somewhere to be?"

Naruto stared at Neji for a moment and then locked eyes with Sasuke. It was the first time that Sasuke was looking into Naruto's eyes directly. Those eyes seemed to pull him in until he wasn't even sure of where he was anymore. Then Naruto spoke in that deep voice of his and Sasuke put all his efforts into focusing on what he was saying, instead of the way his voice sounded or the way his lips moved.

"Yeah, but I think I want to hang out here for a while longer."

Naruto turned to face Neji and Sasuke snapped back to reality.

What the fuck?

---------Neji's P.O.V---------Neji's P.O.V---------Neji's P.O.V---------Neji's P.O.V---------

Neji, despite enjoying the fact that Naruto was not responding to Sasuke's tactics, couldn't help but worry when he and Sasuke had shared that intimate gaze. Sasuke was clearly interested in Naruto, and not in his usual "I'm just taking you because Neji wants you" way. No, this time Sasuke appeared to be completely infatuated with HIS Naruto. Neji had never seen him space out like that. If he didn't know any better, he would swear that Sasuke was sporting quite the uncomfortable problem between his legs.

What the fuck?

----fishcake-------fishcake--------fishcake-------fishcake-------fishcake-------fishcake-------

Naruto Turned away from Sasuke to give Neji a reassuring smile.

"You don't mind do you?"

Naruto smiled wider when all Neji could do was nod. Naruto would like to claim that he had stuck around to hang out with Neji, but the truth would remain that he was just keeping Sasuke under surveillance. Now that Neji had shown some hostility towards Sasuke he could hardly leave to two alone. Besides, what was the point in running to the Uchiha Manor to protect Sasuke if Sasuke was already here with Naruto?

"Thanks."

Naruto winked at Neji, something he rarely did to anyone. Then he turned back to Sasuke to double cheek that he was staying put for a while.

He never got the chance. How could he speak with Sasuke looking like that?

Sasuke was completely flushed and his mouth was hanging open slightly. His eyes were glazed over and he seemed to be off in a universe all his own. His breathing was ragged and he had his arms draped over his lap in an unnatural way. Naruto felt his eyes widen when he realized why Sasuke was sitting that way. Naruto swallowed hard.

What the Fuck?
