Get a Life 35
Okay it was now or never. Neji took in a nervous breath. Naruto and Sasuke were finally getting along and the only thing that was getting in the way of them going further than friends was him. Neji then let out the air in a sigh. Why did he sound like such a bad guy? He turned around.
"Naruto?"
Naruto turned around and smiled at him.
"Hmmm?"
…Damn it! Neji squinted his eyes. Why the hell did he HAVE to be shirtless? Well, they were having gym class now, and they did have to change into uniforms… fuck. Neji once again sighed.
"Never mind."
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and faced his locker to continue changing. Neji bang his head into his locker. Gym, it just HAD to be the last period of the day. The time in which Naruto looked the hottest. All sweaty and panting with muscles contrasting and twitching… God damn it Neji stop thinking that!
"Hey."
Neji opened his eyes noticing that there was now and hand on his locker trapping him between the locker and the other person. Blinking a few times he then turned around to see who it was. It was Gaara, and he was shirtless. Neji's face exploded red. Did I forget to mention he was shirtless?
"Uh…yes?"
Neji commented as he looked down. Damn he's got smooth looking skin. A nice pale color too. Not sickly vampire pale, but you could also tell he never had a sunburn in his life. …What am I thinking? Neji then glanced up to see Gaara's face to distract him only to be reminded just how close he was. He could feel the others breath, and smell the sent of cinnamon that came with it.
"Gym cloths."
Neji blinked a few times still trying to wake up from his trance.
"Huh?"
"Gym cloths. Do you have a spare? I left mine at home."
Neji twitch. Bet your ass he did thanks to a certain SOMEONE after the 'fire drill' incident. He quickly turned around grab the cloths and shoved them back still facing the locker.
"Here."
He then felt Gaara's hands grabbing the cloths and brushing onto his and his body getting warmer from the heat radiating off the other boy's body as it drew closer to his.
"Thanks."
He felt the other boy leave (due to the loss of heat) and just stood there until he heard the locker room door shut. He then covered his burning red ears and let his knees given in. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? He was shacking violently. Holy shit that was scary! And the way he spoke just then, all husky and low. He gulped as he felt a shiver ran up his spine. What was going on?
"…"
"What?"
"Don't you think that was a bit extreme?" Gaara rolled his eyes. "The poor kid is probably freaking out right now." Gaara then smirked devilishly.
"Good."
Shino sighed.
"The point isn't to scare him Gaara."
"You're right." He then turned to smirk at him "It's to make him think of nothing but me."
Their teacher blew the whistle and began taking roll call. All the while Gaara kept glancing at the boys locker room door. Neji hadn't came out yet. …Did he take it too far? All he wanted was for Neji to stop looking at Naruto. …And look at him… He then smiled. He may not of seen Neji's face, but he did see how quick his ears turned red. Must have been blushing like crazy. His smile grew wider. Bet even Naruto couldn't make Neji do that.
Neji soon came out, hesitantly at first, then slowly walked into the roll call line next to Naruto. Who ended up holding Neji's hand. Gaara frowned. Damn him, damn him to hell.
"Now that that's been taken care of-!" Their teacher commented loudly as he place the roll call list under his arm "Count off by two's!"
As everyone was doing so Naruto then groaned.
"Seriously?"
Neji then felt Naruto squeeze his hand. Even Neji was a bit annoyed but for a different reason. When the hell was he gonna tell Naruto? After school he guessed, but… he kinda wanted to tell him now and get it over with.
The bell finally ringed and everyone was now heading towards the lockers.
"Naruto, we really need to talk."
"I know!" Naruto yelled (much to Neji's disappointment) excitedly. "I want to talk to you about this weekend!"
"This…weekend?"
Naruto then held out two tickets.
"We should go on a date!"
Sasuke froze. A…Date?
"N-Naruto…"
"It's for that new play that's playing downtown!" Naruto smiled "And I saw the poster of it in your room-" He's been in his room? Sasuke's heart sank. "So I figured-" Naruto then clasped both hands on Neji's "We can go as a couple!"
Neji's eyes widened in fear. SHIT! He really needed to end this-! But he just looks so-! Neji looked down in panic. He couldn't say it now! He looked so damn happy! He then jolted as he heard a locker slam. He then turned to see that it was Gaara. Not sure what else to do he then looked up at Naruto.
"I'm sorry! But I promised Gaara we'd work on our paper this weekend!" Gaara's facial expression faded from pissed off to confusion. Say wha-?
"A-and uh, we're gonna go start on it today even! So...uh-" he then pulled his hand out of Naruto's "I can't go. Buuut-" he then walked over to Sasuke, snatched his hand, dragged him over and clasped Sasuke and Naruto's hands together. "You two can still go!"
"But Neji-!"
"BEY!" And with that went up to Gaara, grabbed his hand and bolted out of the locker room. Confused as hell, Naruto then looked down at his and Sasuke's inter twined fingers. What the fuck was that?
"DAMN IT!"
Why was it so damn hard?! All he had to say was two words! Two f-ing words! We're through. It's over. We're history. Good bey! …god he felt like crying. Gaara in the meantime was just standing there watching him. Neji had dragged him all the way to the back of the school near the old wellow and just started screaming. …should he do something? Or-? Neji then inhaled and let it out, calming himself in the proses.
"I'm sorry…. That was a dick move of me to make." Neji then glanced down "I had no right dragging you into my miss like that." Gaara blinked a few times.
"Uh, okay?"
"…You're not mad at me?"
"Should I be?"
"…" Neji sat down on the grass and glanced up watching the clouds. "I don't know. I…I guess I thought you would because I was."
"What for?"
"For being such a coward."
Gaara frowned.
"Neji, you're not a coward."
"Really?" Neji then looked towards Gaara dully "Then what am I Gaara?"
"Well, for starters, you're a dumbass for thinking that." Neji glared at him. "Second… you're a really good person Neji. What you're doing for Naruto is incredibly selfish."
"Selfish?"
"Selfless."
"No, you said Selfish."
"Oh for crying out loud-! I'm trying to give you a complement, you idiot!"
Neji chuckled then looked towards the school as he hugged his legs closer to his chest.
"Even if what I'm doing IS the right thing I still feel like shit." His eyes began to water. "What am I supposed to do in the mean time? Just stand there and just…watch the person I like be with someone else?"
Gaara the crouched beside him with a serious look.
"You could get a better boyfriend."
Neji snorted as tears ran down his cheek.
"Gaara, look at me-" he flinged his arms up then flopped them on the ground "I'm a fucking miss." Gaara chuckled which caused Neji to snap "What's so-!?" Gaara then planted a kiss right on him. Neji's eyes widened and his heart raced. Gaara then slowly pulled back and looked at him in an evil seductive manner.
"I'm a bad man. I don't care what state you're in, just so long as you are mine."
