10.
Naruto was indeed having too much of a good time with Sasuke, Hinata and Hanabi. He would say Neji as well, but considering the fact that Neji stared at him everytime Sasuke touched him, he wasn't so sure.
He quickly looked up from his phone and seen Neji staring at Sasuke, as he laughed loudly at Hinata. Naruto tucked his phone into his pants pocket and before long, his eyes met Neji's. Naruto stood.
"Uh, which way is the bathroom?" He spoke.
"Down the hall second door on the left." Neji replied. "Want me to show you?"
"If you dont mind." Naruto says. Neji stood and walked. Sasuke feeling a little uneasy about the situation as He watched as the two of them walk away.
Neji placed his hand on the door of the bathroom and turned around pressing his back against the door. He looked Naruto up and down trying to figure him out. Naruto stood his ground, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Is that the bathroom?" Naruto says.
"It is." Neji replies smugly. "How long have you known Sasuke?"
"Heh, shoulda known." Naruto says under his breath. "For some months."
"Months?" Neji's eyes raised in amusement. "Tch."
"How's that hard to believe?" Naruto shrugged.
Neji looked Naruto over again. "You like him don't you?" He asked. His eyes narrowing as he spoke. A smug smirk playing on his lips.
Naruto's eyebrows furrowed. "Why does that matter?"
"Answer my question." He says.
"Do you?" Naruto shot back crossing his arms. He looked Neji over as well.
"So he hasn't told you?" Neji chuckles, clearly amused at how uncomfortable this conversation has gotten for Naruto. Naruto frowned. What was Sasuke not telling him?
"Sasuke and I dated." Neji says, arrogance dripping on his words. He even had the audacity to cross his arms and smirk.
"Dated?" Naruto says taken slightly back.
"As in he's my ex boyfriend." Neji says.
"I know what that means." Naruto frowns. "But what does that have to do with me?"
"He's using you." Neji says flatly. "He's not over me. He only brought you here to try and make me jealous."
Naruto felt a pang in his heart. He knew Neji was lying. But something in the back of his mind told him to believe it.
Naruto chewed on his lip. "That's not true." He says weakly. Neji, hearing the doubt in the blonde's voice smiled.
"Oh? You think so?" He mocked. "It's a fact that Sasuke will never be over me no matter how many times he says he is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you here to meet us. If Sasuke was truly over me, he would've been protective of you. He would've brought you to the bathroom." Neji smirked. "Instead he let you walk with his ex boyfriend. Just so I can tell you he's my Ex. Before you start calling yourself 'liking someone',know them first. You're a rebound. Nothing more." Neji let his words sink in as he pushed himself off the door and opened the bathroom before walking by Naruto, being sure to bump his shoulder as he passed.
Naruto was fuming. He turned and headed back to the Den. Once he entered the room, Sasuke looked at him. His eyebrows formed together in worry as if he was asking Naruto was he okay. Naruto tore his gaze from the raven and walked to his seat to sit down. Neji sat there in all his mocking glory, watching the two interact.
After a few more minutes of Sasuke taking the hint, he stood.
"Well, we'll be taking our leave now." He says pursing his lips together.
"Will we see you again?" Hinata asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Uh, only if you want to." Sasuke smiled and Hinata giggled pushing his shoulder. Naruto watched the two of them and chewed on his lip. His eyes traveled over to Neji, who stood and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"You're always welcome here Sasuke," He says. A smirk playing on his lips. "You know that."
Sasuke looked over at Neji. "Yeah, thanks." He replies flatly while exiting the Den.
After exiting the Hyuga home, Naruto and Sasuke headed back to Sasuke's home. The silence between them no longer a comfortable one. Sasuke reached for Naruto's hand but Naruto just stuffed his hands in his pockets. Sasuke looked at him as soon as they reached his front door. Naruto placed his hand on the door and Sasuke stopped him.
"What's wrong?" He asked him.
"Nothing." The blonde replies.
"Naruto." Sasuke looked at him sternly. Naruto glanced at him before looking down.
"Can we at least get in the house first?" Naruto avoided looking Sasuke squarely in the eyes.
Sasuke sighed and unlocked the door. Naruto pushed it open and the both of them walked inside. Closing the door and locking it back, Naruto made his way up the stairs to Sasuke's room. He could hear Sasuke's shoes right behind him. Once they made it to Sasuke's room, Sasuke closed the door and sat on the floor as Naruto sat on the foot of the bed.
"So what's wrong?" Sasuke asked. His eyes searching over his fox. He was worried. Why did Naruto's attitude change towards him? What did Neji say?
"You've always been honest with me, right Raven?" Naruto asks. He played with his hands as he spoke. He never looked over at Sasuke. He was too focused on his hands to look.
"Yes." Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows confused as to why Naruto would ask him such a thing.
"Who was Neji to you, Sasuke?"
"What did he tell you, Naruto?" Sasuke asked, worry setting deeper and deeper into his pores. Whatever it was that Neji said, it got to Naruto; and it got to him bad.
"Answer my question." Naruto looked at Sasuke sternly. Something that Sasuke has never witnessed from the blonde. This was serious.
"He-He's my ex boyfriend." Sasuke looked down. He now didn't have the heart to look at his fox. He knew this was a problem.
"How long did you two date?" Naruto asked again.
"A little over a year and a half." He answers looking down at his hands.
"And why'd you two break up?"
"Narut-"
"Why, Sasuke?" Naruto obviously had no time for games right now. Sasuke sighed.
"He graduated, and he found someone else in the mists of waiting for me to graduate." Sasuke says lowly. "He ignored my calls and everything and when he finally answered me, he told me he'd found someone else and that things happen."
"How long has it been since the break up?"
"Going on two years."
Naruto paused. He swallowed the lump in his throat. "D-Do you still love him, Sasuke?"
"N-No." He answers. He finally looks at Naruto. "What did he say to you, Naruto?"
"H-He said that-" Naruto paused. He took in a deep breath before continuing. "He said that I-I was nothing but a rebound. And you took me over there to show me off as proof that you're over him. You're not really over him, are you?"
Sasuke felt his insides raging.
"He told you what?" He asked through his teeth. Sasuke stood and tried to head for the door. "That bastard."
"Sasuke wait." Naruto grabbed at the hem of Sasuke's shirt making him stop. Naruto stood and walked to him. "It's okay."
"No, Naruto it's not okay." He replied. "Neji has no right to talk to you that way. He's just saying that to get under your skin. I honestly didn't even know he was there untill Hanabi called his name. I wouldn't have brought you there If I would've known he was there."
Naruto searched his Raven's face. Sasuke was so desperate to get Naruto to believe him that it shown through his eyes. Naruto reached up and touched Sasuke's face. He caressed his cheek.
"It is okay." Naruto says softly. "I believe you."
Sasuke slowly eased up as he looked at Naruto. The two of them stood there.
"It still gave him no right to say that." Sasuke says. "He's too jealous of you."
Naruto smirked. "I don't care about him being jealous." He says. "That doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to see if you would tell me the truth."
Sasuke pressed his lips together as he looked at Naruto.
"You can't get rid of me that easily." Naruto chuckles causing the raven to do the same. Sasuke's arms snaked around Naruto's waist, pulling the blonde closer to him.
"I honestly don't ever want to get rid of you Fox." He smirks.
Naruto blushed at Sasuke's soft tone. He hugged Sasuke, laying his head on his shoulder. He closed his eyes taking in the embrace.
"It's just us right?" Naruto asked.
"Of course." Sasuke replies still holding on to the blonde. "Always. Nothing can tear us apart."
Naruto smiled. "Good." He whispers.
They pulled away from the hug.
"Are you hungry?" Sasuke asked Naruto. He shook his head.
"No, not really." He answers. "I uh," Naruto paused as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I honestly just want to cuddle." His gaze turned down, away from his raven as his cheeks became red. Sasuke pursed his lips together and lifted Naruto's head by the chin. They gazed at eachother. Naruto falling deeper and deeper for the Raven as the seconds went by.
"Don't ever feel embarrassed to want to cuddle." He says to his Fox. "You're my Fox, and if you want to cuddle then we can cuddle."
Naruto smiled once more. He couldn't understand how Sasuke was so gentle with him. Everyone around him who knew the raven often said he was pretty stand offish, but it seemed as though he was the complete opposite when he was around Naruto. He smiled, he laughed. He was just like him.
Naruto felt like his heart would explode when they laid in Sasuke's bed together. They wrapped themselves in eachother and Naruto peacefully laid his head on his Raven's chest as they watched a movie. Soon enough, Naruto fell asleep on Sasuke, with Sasuke falling asleep himself. The two slept the best they ever did. Knowing they had eachother.
It's getting closer to the end guys 😪 I'm gonna cry.
