“Neji!” Naruto yelled from across the cafeteria, easily gaining the long haired boy's attention. Naruto, paid no mind to the Hyuga's friends, who just so happened to be Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, the both of which were staring at the blounde oddly. The blounde boy stalked unhappily toward the pale eyed boy, glaring at him fitfully.

“Yes, Naruto-kun?” he replied all too sweetly.

“We need to talk!” the ground out, Neji nodded in reply standing gracefully, after dismissing himself from his friends of course. Silently he followed the seething Naruto from the cafeteria and the presence of half the school's watchful eyes. “We had a deal!” Naruto whispered harshly as soon as he knew no one was watching, he briefly glanced at the two siblings still sitting at their table.

“I know that.” Neji replied calmly.

“Then what the hell is taking so long?!” the blue eyed boy yelled throwing his hands in the air for effect.

“Don't you have any patience? Just wait ok? I can't exactly rush him to do a thing I say. I sorta just gotta, out wit him in this case.” the long haired boy explained, Naruto looked at him oddly for a brief moment. “Look, I'm working on it, so all in due time. I swear on my honor as a Hyuga.” Neji said, placing his hand on his chest as if saying a pledge.

“Fine. If you don't hold true to your word though, I'll tell everyone how your stalking Sabaku no Gaara.” Naruto threatened, crossing his arms over his chest in defeat.

“Deal, but I need your help again.” the Hyuga replied, placing a hand on his hip.

“For what? I already told you Gaara likes his sweets. I mean even through I'm the hyper one and all, just eww...” at this point the blounde began to babble on, Neji just rolled his lavender eyes before placing his hands on Naruto's shoulders a bit roughly, jerking the boy's attention back to him.

“I know, but I uhh... sorta... well...” Neji looked away, blushing at the thought of the small kiss he stole the day before. At the sight of the uncharacteristic stuttering, of the boy standing in front of him, Naruto's eyes widened.

“Neji! You didn't do anything stupid did you?! You know something like kiss my psychotic and reclusive brother did you?!” Naruto screeched at the very thought of someone doing something to that effect. “No no no, what am I saying? Of course you didn't because that's just really stupid thing to do, and well your a genius so you would know better. Right?” Naruto ended his babbling, looking at Neji expectantly, just waiting for the words that said his suspicions were wrong, but the words never came.

Instead Naruto was answered with the shameful bowing of the other boys head, bright blue eyes widened. “I can't help you with this any longer Neji, I mean this is un-treaded waters here.” Tan hands went up into blounde hair, a sign of frustration as Naruto bent forward. “Wait...” Naruto straightened, getting a sudden revelation. “...that's why... I can't believe I didn't realize it. Naruto you baka!” Naruto scolded himself, receiving an odd look from Neji in return.

“Umm, earth to Naruto, what are you talking about?!” the long haired boy asked, knocking on the seemingly empty blounde head.

“N-nothing! Look I will talk to you later, but remember you gotta hold up your end of the deal still Neji!” with that the blounde took off running down the hallway leaving the other boy standing there very confused about the whole situation.

“Gaara-kun! Gaara-kun!” came the yell from what sounded like not too far away, Gaara groaned and turned to meet his brothers wandering eyes. “Oh goddess! Gaara I have something really important to ask you!” Naruto yelled, bouncing over to his older sibling.

“Yeah, what is it?” the red head asked, watching Naruto with a blank expression.

“Wow...” Naruto looked around the small hideaway like garden. “... do you ever go to class?” he asked finally, and rather stupidly.

“Your kidding me right? That can't possibly be the important question you were gonna ask me you moron!” Gaara complained, preparing to throw the book that was in his hand at Naruto.

“No, no. I came to ask. Did Neji kiss you yesterday?” the blounde ask tactless fashion.

“What the hell made you think of that?!”

“So he did!”

“WHA?!”

“Well your not exactly denying it.”

“What is there to deny, no. You know what, I'm not talking to you about this.” with that, Gaara stuffed the book that was in his hand into his plain red book bag, that the kanji for love on it in white.

“Aww, come on. Well your at least going to give him a chance right? I mean, Neji seems like an alright person.” the blue eyed boy prodded a bit.

“Yeah well if he's so great than you go after him and give him a chance.” the red head replied, walking away from his younger sibling rather quickly. The blounde kept pace with him despite that.

“Ah, I can't since I already like Uchi...ha...” mid-sentence Naruto stopped and blushed a deep red, one so bright that it rivaled Gaara's hair.

The older of the two raised an invisible eyebrow in questioning. “Oh no... don't stop on my account. In fact, I wanna hear this.” Gaara said smugly.

“S-shut up!” Naruto yelled looking away from Gaara, the blush still covering his face. “This had nothing to do with me! So stop turning it around!” Naruto yelled, regaining his thoughts after a second of silence.

“Why do you wanna talk about my stalker so much? It's not like you get anything out of this.” Gaara replied grumpily.

“Aniki...” the blounde started with a slight pout, wrapping his arms tightly around the red head thinner frame. “I worry about you, I mean your always all alone. Despite his being your stalker, Neji might not be all that bad.” Gaara sighed a bit in defeat.

“If I at least... try... to be nice. Then will you leave me alone?” the red asked, getting a squeal in response as the younger of the two began jumping around happily, making Gaara look at him oddly. “By the way, what are you getting out of this again?”

“Oh n-nothing.” Naruto replied a little too innocently.

“Is that so.” came the rhetorical response, before Gaara went back to reading the book he had been prepared to throw at Naruto earlier. “Now shoo, I don't feel like talking to you any longer.” Naruto nodded eagerly before turning and running, never catching it as Gaara watched him run, before the red head released a long sigh.
