Chapter 12
I stared at Itachi and gaped like an idiot. I need to get out of here...
"Yeaaaah, I need to go see Neji..." I said extremely awkward.
"Why this reaction? When Gaara attacked you, we talked about this, and you were not opposed. I guessed now that we are all codependent, you'd want it to be for forever." Itachi said reaching out to hold my hand.
"If I remember correctly, we said we'd talk about it, it seems like you have already decided." I accused him, pulling my hand back.
"Yeah, who said I want another vampire. He might want to be a werewolf!" Sasori added. Yeah, I might want to be a wer- wait, what?
"Well, I do not need another werewolf either." Itachi responded.
"Well, too bad, it's Deidara's choice!" Sasori crossed his arms.
"No, he will be a vampire and that is final. Besides, if he is a werewolf he will eventually die and then I will be alone again." As I stood there, between them and they fought, I felt trapped. I can't do this...
Itachi's focus turned to me.
"What do you mean?" He asked urgently. I need to leave now. I can't do this!
"Sorry, I really can't right now." I said and got up. Sasori tried to say something, but Itachi stopped him.
"I'll be with Neji... We should probably get back too..." I said timidly, it is Sunday today.
"Won't you stay the night?" Sasori asked in a soft voice, looking at me with those big hazel eyes.
"Yeah... Okay..." I answered without thinking. How can I say no to that? So unfair...
Sasori gave me a small smile and I left before he could change my mind again. Why is that man so beautiful?
I walked slowly thinking about everything. How could my whole life change in just two fucking days? Of course, I thought about being a vampire if Itachi and I stayed together, but not really. I mean, I thought of the title, but me, sucking people's blood? Nah uh. Sorry but no. No offense. I thought as I passed a few servants that looked at me puzzled.
I should really find a spot to think alone. Where would Neji be?
I turned around and stopped the servants who passed me a few seconds ago by blocking their path.
"Hi, sorry about this, but um, do you maybe know where Neji is?" The two servants looked at each other and then at me and a look of disgust passed by their expression.
"Your human friend is with Master Gaara in his room." One of them responded.
"Master Gaara's room in down the hall, last door to your right. It is painted red, hard to miss." The other one supplied.
"Thanks! And sorry about my thoughts. Itachi says I think too loud." I gave them an apologetic smile. They froze a bit, their expression softening.
"The King has chosen you for a reason and is willing to give you the gift of immortality and keep you by his side forever. Forgive my intrusion, but I don't see the issue with that." One said while the other elbowed him to shut up.
"I know. I don't think it is bad, I am just not ready to leave my life behind." I answered truthfully.
"Maybe you should not then." The same servant said and the other was vivid. Do you mean, I should break up with him?
"Please sir, don't tell the King, my partner does not have any ill intentions!" The second servant pleaded.
"No... I won't... It's just..." I looked down at my feet. He is right. What am I doing? Getting involved in a household with paranormal stuff...
When I looked back up the second servant was on her knees begging me for forgiveness, while her partner kept staring me with an unapologetic look.
"So, you are saying I should man up if I want him, right?" I asked him and he nodded. "I think you are right. Thank you." I said and walked away, leaving them both confused.
I needed to talk with Neji, he always knows what to say to make me feel better. I should find him asap!
I walked down the corridor, that started to look endless with the exact same wooden doors. How do people know which door is which?
Then I saw it, the red door; my savior! I busted through, exited to have finally found it, and then remembered why you should always knock before you enter a room. Gaara was balls deep into Neji who was on his hands and knees on the bed. Neji screamed and I covered my whole face with my hands in embarrassment.
"Oh my god, sorry, sorry!" I walked backwards and closed the door behind me, sitting on the ground, face red. My mind was blank of thoughts, the image of them fucking, burned forever into my memory, as if I was a child and saw my parents doing it, but not so gross; both Neji and Gaara were hot, not that I thought of them that way.
The door opened and Neji stood in front of me wearing a robe, hands on his waist, eyes filled with rage, probably expecting an explanation for my sudden appearance.
"Sorry about that. I..." I started to say but a bubble of laughter came from my mouth. Neji looked at me shocked and when my eyes started pouring tears, his expression changed to one of worry.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he sat beside me and hugged me. I clang into him for dear life as I let it all out, sobbing like I'm five.
"Now, now. Everything is okay. I'm here." He soothed me. "Well, since you are getting snot on me, I'll tell you a few things myself. First off, I'm mad at you. You knew what was going on and didn't tell me. Number two, Gaara is amazing, but I am having doubts if his DNA lets him be something else. What if I wasn't his mate? Would he be so amazing? Number three, how the hell did you convince a supernatural couple to take you in as their third partner? Damn Dei, you're fucking bold!" Neji ranted and the more I heard his voice, the more I calmed down. I am a mess.
"Okay..." I started as I wiped my tears. "I'm sorry... How was I supposed to say all that shit to you? I barely believed it myself... Number two, you are amazing too, so Gaara would love you either way, besides, there is no point in thinking 'what ifs' since you are together and that won't change easily. As for the third one, I think I bit off more than I can chew." I confessed.
"Oooh, sex is that good?" Neji wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"No, we haven't slept together yet." I pushed him off, now sitting side-by-side, our shoulders touching.
"You blind? I thought Itachi looked good when I first saw him, but when Gaara showed me a picture of Sasori, my jaw literary dropped. I had wet dreams for two days straight." I glared at him for that comment, but there is no denying Sasori is beautiful. "I know he is yours now, but damn! If I saw him first, Gaara wouldn't stand a chance!" Neji whispered; probably afraid his boyfriend might hear.
"Yeah, he is stunning. It was love at first sight. You should see me, I looked so dumb when we met. He must have thought I was an idiot."
"But you are." I smacked him on the head and we both laughed. "So, why are you so stressed?" He asked when we settled down.
"We are moving waaay too fast for my liking. Having a lover who is married is one thing, having two is another, but moving in together and creating a timeline for my life is a different story. I don't even need to mention all that supernatural shit that comes attached to that. I just... need more time." I confessed.
"I know what you mean. It is hard for me too, and I only have one partner, but he has been patient. Have you asked them for time?" I nodded in response.
"Maybe I could have done it better, but still, cut me some slack. They have been arguing about whether I would become a vampire or a werewolf within the next ten years; like seriously?" Neji gave me a look. "What?"
"Nothing, I just think that it's normal." He said looking up at the ceiling. Come again?
"Huh?" I asked stupidly.
"Well, from what Gaara has told me, both his parents were miserable for years and now they have a chance to be happy. If you had been living depressed for so long and just found someone to make you happy, wouldn't you want to protect them and plan for a long life together? And waiting is very hard. I mean you can't even wait patiently for a parcel to arrive." Neji was so smart and mature. Why am I always so selfish and stupid?
"I never thought of it that way..." I played with the fabric of my pants, the little innocent froggies and piggies looking up at me with their innocent eyes. I am such a child...
"Don't be sad over this. I know it's a lot to unpack but take one step at a time. You guys will figure it out." Neji opened his arm, inviting me in for a side hug.
"I just feel like I'm a kid and a stupid one too." I said as I pushed myself into his chest, his hand coming to rest on my shoulder.
"Well, that's okay! Both of them are older and more mature I hope. You can be childish, it's one of your charms; you know the stereotype? Pretty, stupid and blond; you fit that." Neji laughed, making me smile.
"Gee thanks, what a nice best friend I have..." I said sarcastically but actually meant it.
"Glad to be of your assistance! But seriously, relax and enjoy the ride. We already boarded the loony train." As if on cue, Gaara opened the door and his head popped out to peek at us.
"You done?" He asked Neji timidly. Boy that boy was whipped.
"Are we?" Neji asked me.
"Yeah." We both got up and Gaara came out to the corridor, now also fully dressed; a shame really, he was hot.
"I'm with Neji and you are dating my parents." He said making a face of disgust.
"Yeah well, you are the product of the people I am dating, so it's only logical I think you are hot, and I don't like you. Your personality is shit, and sometimes, I don't get what Neji sees in you, besides you know, being smoking hot." I defended myself, or better said, my thoughts.
"Who's smoking hot?" A velvety voice said behind me and I saw Neji's jaw drop. I knew who it was before turning, but when I did, nothing could prepare me for what I saw.
Sasori was leaning on a doorway, wearing a red silky robe with lace that went down to his feet, one foot in front of the other, slipping between the robe's opening, his smooth creamy leg bare for me to feast on. His hair was wet and in his eyes, as if he just got out of the shower, sticking out in a wild dance, as his fringe was stuck to some places of his forehead.
"Neji! That's my dad!" Gaara roared face red, probably at Neji's thoughts.
"Well, same thing Deidara just said but reverse it. Damn he looks good!" Neji tried to defend himself.
I gulped as Sasori's eyes bore into mine. Was this heaven or hell?
"Why are you walking around like that?" I managed to ask. To give me a fucking boner?
"Like what?" Sasori asked innocently, cocking his head to the side, when he surely knew what I meant.
"Like sex on legs. Are you seducing me?" My voice sounded extremely strained, even to me.
"Is it working?" He asked with a smirk, and I was dumbfounded. Like hell yeah it is.
"Enough for you to stay another night?" said a voice from behind Sasori.
From the same doorway Itachi exited looking like a whole meal himself; long raven hair wet and unruly, yet effortlessly straight, falling on his shoulder, contrasting against his extremely pale skin. His lean abs on full display as he only had a towel wrapped around his waist, hanging low, an obvious hard on, could be traced on the surface of the white fluffy towel. Shit, fuck, fuck!
"Neji!" Gaara screeched, my best friend's thoughts possibly matching my own.
"Well bestie, good luck!" Neji said quickly as he pulled the now fuming Gaara back into their room and slammed the door shut behind them.
I looked back at the sinful duo and gulped. Well, I'm fucked.
When they both smirked, I knew I was right...
