Get a Life 29

Neji wasn't really sure what he was feeling anymore. Out of the blue Naruto started to actually care about him. Not that he was entirely complaining since he liked the attention but…why the sudden change? It just made him skeptical…

"Naruto?"

"Yes?"
"…" How was he gonna ask without sounding awkward? "Is something up?"

"What would make you say that?"

Naruto was hugging his arm?

"You just seem…I don't know, cuddlish?"
"What's wrong with hugging my boyfriend?"

. . . . ummm, Neji glanced from side to side, this just didn't feel right.

"Nothing I guess, it's just…you never really been all cuddly before until now."

"Well that's why I'm making up for it now!"
"Yeah but…why now?"

Naruto blinked a few times.

"I don't follow."
Neji sighed.

"I feel like your forcing yourself to do this."
"Wha-!? What makes you think that?!"
"Cause you're acting- uff-!" Naruto pulled Neji into a tight hug.

"Stop thinking so much!"

"…"

Sasuke froze at the door way. Why was Naruto being all, lovey dovy with Neji? I'm mean SURE he's his boyfriend and all but…HE NEVER SHOWED IT. Sasuke gulped. Shit, he did not like this, not at all.

And Sasuke wasn't the only one with these thoughts.

"DAMN IT!"

Gaara slammed his hands on his desk. He made it worse! Now Neji and Naruto were even closer than they were before! He gritted his teeth. Why was he feeling this way? Was he really jealous? It had to be. Yeah, cause Neji was with his Naruto! That's right! He liked Naruto! … but why did he snap at Naruto if he liked him so much? Gaara calmed down a bit and looked at the boys a few rows ahead of him. Was it really Naruto he liked or…was it Neji?

Class soon started and Kakashi sat at his desk observing the class. It came to his attention that most the kids weren't working with there partners. He twitched.

"Okay, how many of you guys are done or close to done with your papers?"
Basicly almost EVERYONE raised there hands. Kakashi sighed. Great, just great.

"Fine, then I've got something else for you to do." Everyone groaned. "I want you to do another paper with your partners."

"WHAT!?" Naruto practically screamed.

"What now Naruto?"
"I-I can't work with Sasuke! He's such a teme!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"I don't care."

He then noticed Neji raised his hand.

"Yes Neji?"
"My partners in the hospital and won't be back for at least a week. I'm I doing this solo or-?"
Kakashi had to pounder. That was a good question.

"Why don't you join another group then?"
Naruto smirked, perfect now he wouldn't have to be alone with Sasuke!

"Now get back to work."

And with that pulled out his book.

Before Naruto could even ask Neji to join his group, Gaara was already at his desk and dragging Neji away. Both Naruto and Neji were dumbfounded. What. The. Fuck?

"HEY!" Naruto got up and grabbed Neji's other arm. "I was gonna ask him!"
"Tough."

"He's my boyfriend!"
"So? Sasuke's smart and my partner's not. I need Neji so that I can at least get ONE of these damn papers done."

Naruto winced.

"But…"
"No."
Gaara commented leaving no room for argument. Naruto then sighed and let go.

"Fine."

Then walked off. Neji began to panic. Wait! Don't leave me with this mad man! He'll prank me to death! Neji had his arm stretched out towards Naruto and clearly wanted to cry. Gaara twitched then tugged Neji towards him harshly.

"Let's go."

Noooooo!

Naruto flopped himself in the seat next to Sasuke.

"Let's just get this over with."

Sasuke winced. Naruto sounded annoyied. Sasuke looked down avoided eye contact.

"I'm sorry."

Naruto's features soften.

"What?"
Sasuke took in a big breath of air.

"I said I'm sorry. What I said before…was really uncalled for…"

They sat there in silence.

"…Kay." Sasuke looked at Naruto who was now leaning in his seat. "I'll forgive you." Sasuke smiled. Oh thank god! He fucking missed Naruto and hated himself for making Naruto so mad at him.

"So what topic are we gonna use now?"

"The magic of friendship."
Sasuke clasped his mouth to not burst out laughing at Naruto's comment. Naruto smirked, he missed Sasuke's smiles…
