Pairing: Neji x Sasuke
MeLaiya-- Thanks for reading. Here's more.
There were a few things that could bring a great party to a screeching halt. Yelling "cops!" was at the top of the list. Not that Sasuke was having a good time at that moment. In fact he was seconds from fighting with the boy who sold him some pills that he had "cooked up in his basement." Naturally the boy had waited until after Sasuke had swallowed them to tell him that. The fight was quickly forgotten as people started scattering. Whether they were there or not didn't matter to the kids who made a mad dash to the exits. Idiots, Sasuke thought. Didn't they know that cops, if they were really there, were waiting on the other side of those exits? It would have been comical to watch them running around down there if he wasn't quickly making his way downstairs. The last thing he needed was to get arrested by the cops. His face would be plastered across the front page of several newspapers if he did. Sasuke could just imagine all of the headlines not to mention the pictures of him being led out in handcuffs, face heavily made up, obviously high and slightly tipsy. His guardian, Orochimaru, would be overjoyed at that. Sasuke finally made it to his destination, the downstairs basement bathroom. There was already a crowd of people down there waiting to get out the door. Unfortunately it was half barricaded so they had to squeeze through the opening one at a time. They wouldn't all make it before the cops got down there. A few people glared at him thinking that he was another person trying to get out the door. Sasuke gave them a glare that put theirs to shame as he walked over to the small, that description was being generous, bathroom window. He felt eyes on him as he climbed up on the ledge. He could almost hear them calling him an idiot for even attempting to climb through it. Well, what they couldn't tell because of his clothes was the fact that Sasuke was blessed, cursed, with a slim, painfully thin feminine, build. For once, his much hated build was working to his advantage. He slipped through the narrow window and broke into a run once he was free. The farther he was from the cops the better. He had to stop when his stomach started cramping.
"I think I'm going to throw up." Sasuke said to himself.
There was a garbage can a few steps away so he made his way over there. With a slight frown of disgust, he leaned forward into it. When he dry heaved a few times and nothing else, he straightened up and moved away to lean against the wall of a building.
"Spare any change?" a voice asked.
Sasuke swung around and saw an old homeless woman walking up beside him. He must really be feeling sick to not have noticed her.
"Nothing in life is free."
Kind of goes against asking me for money, he thought sarcastically.
"Nothing in life is free." she repeated again.
"Tell me something I don't know." Sasuke mumbled.
"You’ll never be free unless you fight. But first you’ll suffer before you decide to fight. But you’ve always known that.”
Sasuke visibly flinched at the words.
"I know you don't want to hear it Miss. Polly." she said looking down at a small dog Sasuke hadn't noticed before. "But it'll be worth it once you get free from those damned aliens."
Aliens? Sasuke shook his head slightly at his own stupidity. Of course she wasn't talking to me. She doesn't know me, he thought to himself. Fucking psycho. Sasuke rolled his eyes, handed the woman his last few dollars and walked off. Unfortunately his body wasn't too happy with his walking because a few minutes later he started feeling strange. The cramping and nausea was back, he was shivering slightly and his head felt like someone had taken a jackhammer to it. Everything around him suddenly seemed to sway and he staggered. Sasuke felt himself stumble into something solid. He lost his balance and then fell backwards, groaning as he hit the ground.
"Shit."
A blurry figure knelt down next to him.
"Are you okay?" asked a cool voice.
Instead of answering, Sasuke turned his head away and let his bangs fall into his face so that there was a small chance that the person wouldn't recognize him. He then smirked at the question. Was he okay? No, he was far from okay. He was lying on the cold, wet ground feeling like death warmed over. And he had a nasty feeling that he was feeling like this because of those pills. How many of those fucking pills had he taken anyway? Two? Should I really be feeling like this only after two, he wondered. Probably not. But he had been drinking beforehand. Or it could be the fact that they were whipped up in someone's basement. Almost guaranteeing that they were a bad batch. If Sasuke ever saw that guy again he was going to kill him. Then again it was his own fault for buying pills from someone he met at a party.
"I'm going to call for an ambulance."
He was snapped out of his thoughts at the word ambulance. No hospitals. He absolutely loathed them. Besides, going to the hospital would only result in his picture in the papers. And pissing Orochimaru off.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine. You really need to be in a hospital."
"No hospital. Just leave me."
Neji stared at the boy lying in front of him. He looked far from fine. He was looking really pale and shivering slightly. Neji just knelt there and looked at him. What was wrong with him? Why didn't he want to go to the hospital? Why did Neji even care? That question he could answer. He didn't care, not really. He just didn't want it on his conscience if the boy died, especially knowing he could have helped. So with that line of thought, he wondered if he should override his objection and call the ambulance. His cellphone was already in his hand and waiting for him to dial. Still, it was the boy's life and if he didn't want to go to the hospital, who was Neji to force him? With a slight shrug, he looked at his phone and turned it off. Neji returned his gaze to the boy. There was something familiar about his face. But with all of the make-up and his bangs blocking the way, he couldn't get a good enough look. Sasuke nodded his head in thanks then closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He didn't know how long he stayed there but he slowly started feeling better. He said a silent thanks that he hadn’t been suffering an overdose. That would've been a thousand times worse than being arrested.
“Feeling better?”
"You're still here." Sasuke said without looking at the boy.
"Wanted to make sure you didn't need an ambulance."
"I'm fine."
Sasuke cautiously sat up. When he still felt fine, he then proceeded to slowly get off the ground. He stretched slightly, looked at his watch and cursed. It was later than he thought and highly probable that he was going to miss his curfew. There was a brief second where he mentally laughed at the fact that he had a curfew. He was basically allowed to do whatever the hell he wanted as long as he followed a few rules, a curfew being the top one. If he caught a cab, he'd make it just in time. Unfortunately, he hadn't wanted his wallet to get stolen at the party so he had left it at home. This really wasn't his night. There was slight movement and he remembered that he wasn't alone. He knew the guy beside him had to have money.
Sasuke you can't do what you're thinking, It's wrong.
So is missing curfew.
He helped you and this is how you repay him?
Yes. I’ve done much worse. This is child’s play.
He moved closer and pretended to fall into Neji. As he caught him, Sasuke picked his pocket.
"Thanks." he said pulling back. "For before too. I need to go now."
Sasuke turned to leave but a hand clamped over his wrist.
"You really didn't think I'd let you leave with my wallet did you?"
To say Sasuke was shocked was an understatement. How the hell did he know that he had picked his pocket?
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go or you'll be sorry." Sasuke threatened.
"What are you going to do?" Neji asked coolly. "Call the police? I'm sure they'll love to hear what you have to say."
The mere mention of the police caused Sasuke to snap shut his mouth. I should've just gone to the hospital, he thought miserably.
"Give it back and I'll forget that you took it."
"I can't." he said honestly as he looked up at him.
Neji blinked. He wasn't prepared for that answer. He stared and once again wondered what was wrong with him. Sasuke didn't like the way the boy was looking at him so he glared at Sasuke him and was judging him for it. He didn't like that feeling so tried to pull away again. This only resulted in the hand tightening on his wrist so Sasuke did the only thing he could think of that could cause the boy to let go. He kissed him. Normally at this point Neji would have shoved Sasuke away and proceeded to beat the hell out of him if Neji hadn't long ago came to terms with being gay. So the idea of being kissed by a boy didn't disgust him. What did bother him was the fact that he didn't know this boy yet was still liking it. It was wrong and it was stupid but at the same time it felt really good. Sasuke, on the other hand, was shocked that he wasn't instantly released. It took a few seconds for it to register why the other boy might not have a problem with being kissed by him. This night was certainly taking an interesting turn, he couldn’t help but to think wickedly. As much as Sasuke would've liked to stay and see how far this could go, he didn't have time to play. He silently asked for forgiveness just before he kneed Neji between the legs. It was an extremely low blow and there was probably an unwritten rule about not doing it to another boy but he didn't have any other choice. Neji groaned and loosened his grip on him so Sasuke took his chance and ran. A few seconds later, Neji ran after him. He was just about to catch up with him when Sasuke saw a small opening in a chain link fence. Once again his small frame worked for him as he squeezed himself through. He turned to look at Neji, who was too big to slip through. Sasuke slipped his wallet through the opening.
"And the money?" he asked once he looked through it.
"Sorry, but I need that to get home." Sasuke replied. "I promise to pay you back."
"I doubt we'll meet again." he said.
Sasuke smirked slightly and ran off. Neji stared after him. He ran his hands through his long hair. What the hell just happened? This had been the weirdest night of his life. He helped a boy, got his pocket picked and then the was kissed by the same boy. There was no doubt about it, the boy was missing a few brain cells. And Neji was sure that sometime tonight he had lost a few too. It was the only way to explain his reactions to everything. He sighed and shook his head in disbelief. I help him and he repays me by stealing my money and molesting me. And the only thing I want to know is his name. Pathetic Hyuuga. Absolutely pathetic.
