Chapter 12

Stares

Neji pulled into his reserved parking space. He probably hadn't used the thing more than a handful of times since he'd started attending here. His bedroom in the dormitory suite assigned to him wasn't lived in either. He only used it as a place to keep spare clothes in case he needed to change and couldn't or didn't want to go back to the manor. Maybe I should change that. He thought to himself as he swiped his school ID badge to open the door. Neji then presented the photo side to the attendant who was standing just inside the door. If this goes well, it might be necessary to stay in town more. The thought pleased him and he smiled again.

He was so deep in his own head that he almost failed to notice the more intense than normal attention he was receiving from the staff members and his fellow residents. They all took in his appearance with shocked looks. None of them had ever even heard of Neji Hyuuga wearing denim jeans, much less actually seen it. Now, here he was, 'Perfect Hyuuga' strolling through the lobby in a pair of very tight faded blue jeans and an equally faded black T-shirt of questionable origin.

When a breeze whipped through one of the windows and blew his long hair off of his shoulder, the bare and bruised skin of his neck was revealed for all to see. It was the side with the deep purple mark that Nar had put so much effort into creating. Gasps echoed through the lobby as Neji made his way to the elevator. He cast an imperious glare at the most blatant watchers and resisted the urge to adjust his hair. Damage done.
He thought to himself resolutely. The elevator ride was infuriating. Six underclassmen jumped in at the last moment, each one getting off at different floors it would seem from the number of buttons pushed. The whispers and sly peeking were difficult to ignore, but he managed to look unaffected none the less.

The suite Neji supposedly shared with his roommate was on the third floor. Neji stepped out of the elevator quickly as the doors opened, grateful to be off the infernal thing. That was until he realized someone must have run up the stairs ahead of him with news of his impending arrival and odd appearance.

It seemed as if every occupant of the floor, plus a few from other floors were all standing in the hallway, watching. Neji resisted the urge to sigh out loud. Some people really needed to have less idle time.

Taking two long graceful steps into the corridor, Neji turned to his right and glided down the carpeted gauntlet as if there weren't dozens of curious spectators watching his progress closely. His suite was at the end of the hall, a coveted place considering that those suites were slightly larger. The rooms had access to more of the exterior wall, therefore those suites also had more windows. Sliding his ID card through the slot, he heard the magnets pull apart. Then he turned the knob and was glad that Shino hadn't locked the door knob. He stepped out of the corridor and into the privacy of the suite. Neji could hear the buzz of excited, questioning voices behind him as the door swung closed.

Shino half heard the door open and looked to see the figure of his 'roommate' standing just inside the door. Shino was not easily shocked. Normally he took in everything around with the same stoic and guarded appearance. However, when he was alone, he let his guard down. So looking up to see the impressive and totally unexpected figure of Neji Hyuuga would normally send a pleasant little tingle up his spine. Neji was always nice to look at.

Just now, Shino's mouth dropped open in surprise. Neji almost didn't look like Neji. His casual appearance seemed to double the power of the tingle as the familiar sensation shot up Shino's spine. The force of it pushed him up into a sitting position, he legs dropped off the couch where they had been curled.

Huh. Neji noted. He's not bad looking under all those clothes he normally wears. Shino only had on a light blue button up dress shirt, khaki pants, and black dress socks. It was warm in the room and Shino had unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt. The man's pale chest showed through the opening. Neji was surprised to see curls of dark brown hair, lightly decorating the visible skin of what appeared to be a firm chest.

Neji really didn't know a great deal about the younger man. He and Shino Aburame didn't move in the same circles. What he did know had led him to request the underclassman as a roommate. Shino was intelligent, quiet, reserved, unassuming, responsible, and unobtrusive. All the qualities Neji would require of a person that he could possibly share a suite with, even if he was seldom ever there. Being an underclassman, with no older siblings and a family whose influence fell in the middle of the hierarchy, the chances of Shino having quarters as nice as Neji's suite were very slim. The only reason he was even on this floor was because the elder Hyuuga had taken notice of him and requested him as a roommate. Neji seldom asked for anything, but when he did, he usually got what he wanted.

"N..Neji?!" Shino stuttered, his hand unconsciously pulling his open shirt closed.

"Good morning Shino." Neji's smooth voice greeted his flustered 'roommate'. Odd, he is normally so tightly controlled. Neji looked at the books scattered on the floor and Shino's rumpled shirt and pants. The man's glasses were slightly askew and his short dark brown hair was mussed, not in the usual spiky style. Apparently, the messengers that had alerted the rest of the floor about Neji hadn't informed his roommate that he was coming. They had known what Shino's opinion of their behavior would be.

"I'm sorry to disturb you." Neji apologized. The other man had obviously fallen asleep while studying. Surely he wasn't struggling, was he? "Is everything going well with you?" Neji looked pointedly at the books on the floor.

Shino frowned at the scattered literature before looking back at his roommate. "I dozed off." Shino stated in his clipped monotone voice. "It's your suite Neji. You don't need to apologize for walking in the door." After bending to retrieve a few books and straightening the others into a neater pile, he continued. "Things are fine. I am researching a 'personal project'."

Neji merely nodded at that. He would have taken time to assist the underclassman, if Shino had needed it, but he was relieved to know that it wouldn't be necessary. He did have other plans for his free time, for once.

"I'll be taking a quick shower and then a short rest." Neji informed his roommate and was amused by the slight shock in Shino's eyes as the man realized Neji actually planned to sleep in the bed in the next room. Something he hadn't done before. Moving to the door of his room, Neji smiled kindly at the confused man. "I hope this doesn't disturb your routines too much."

Shino watched the mysterious older man disappear behind the door. "Huh." was all he had to say about the situation. He hadn't missed the bruises on Neji's neck or the tired but happy look in the handsome man's eyes, but Shino didn't think it was his business, so he turned his mind back to his research.

Neji found everything he needed. His uncle paid a staff member to ensure Neji had all he needed ready at hand, in case he should ever need to use the suite. The sheets and blankets were changed weekly, regardless of the lack of use. Neji appreciated that very much at the moment. Carrying a small bag, a large towel, and a blue silk kimono in his arms, Neji exited his suite a few minutes later and headed for the communal shower at his end of the corridor. It was one of three. He mused at that. They had communal showers. Their rich affluential parents and guardians felt that this was somehow an important part of their 'school experience'.

Neji shook his head at the stupidity. He'd heard the arguments repeated by some of the other students, things their elders had told them when they had complained. The logic or lack of it was humorous. Neji didn't care one way or the other. It really was a trivial thing, besides it would be a needless expense for the school to renovate and add showers to each suite.

He entered the shower room, it was deserted since it was already late morning. Stripping out of his borrowed clothing, he turned the water on and stepped into his second shower of the day. Neji took his time this time around, not needing to rush. He was beginning to feel tired, his body coming down slowly from the high the events of the night before and this morning had put him into.

As he rinsed the shampoo from his long lush hair, he began to make plans for later that evening. Everything was contingent on the decision of the other three, but Neji wanted to be prepared if it looked like things might go his way. He was so deep in his own thoughts that he almost missed the sound of bare footsteps approaching him. Neji turned slightly and caught sight of the raven haired man out of the corner of his eye.

The other man strolled into the open showers with an air of supreme disinterest and arrogance. The facade was ruined by the sideways glance the raven shot his way. The cursory look was quick, but very telling.

Sasuke Uchiha, younger of the two heirs to the Uchiha fortune had the suite at the other end of the hall.

There were two of the communal showers between this one and the other pale man's suite. There was no reason for the other man to be showering here, right at the exact same time that Neji Hyuuga was. It was far too much of a coincidence. Sasuke was a gossip whore. Everyone knew it. He loved to hear juicy details about his peers. He feigned disinterest in others, but everyone knew the truth. Sasuke was here to get a first hand look at Neji's 'bruises', 'love bites'. Neji remained where he was. He began working the conditioner into his hair, ignoring the appraising looks Sasuke was shooting at him.

A low whistle alerted them both that they had been joined by another. The two pale men turned to see the ever flamboyant Kankurou Sabaku leering at them over the low wall that seperated the showers from the sinks. The man had his usual goth/emo face paint, mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow. He shot a wink at Neji, who only opened his eyes slightly wider in response.

"So, Sas-Uke-Kay....whatcha' doin' here, huh? The showers at your end are the best on the floor. 'Sides, you took a shower before breakfast. 'Tachi said so." The smirk on the man's face was laughable. Neji had to resist the urge to ask the man what he was doing here, besides raking both his and the Uchiha's bodies with a very appreciative stare.

The younger Uchiha gave his standard answer. "Hn, dumbass." He started to turn his back on his brother's annoying friend. He froze when he caught sight of the trail of hickeys leading down Neji's pale body, right to the nest of warm brown curls surrounding the base of the man's flaccid, but still impressive cock. "Fuck."

the raven gasped in shock. He'd expected the hickeys on Neji's neck. Sasuke'd been told about them, but Neji had been standing half turned away from him before, so Sasuke hadn't seen the pathway that someone had obviously taken to the beautiful man's 'glory'.

Sasuke had been lusting after the older man for years. Although technically they moved in the same social circles, Neji just wasn't social. Getting close to the upperclassman had proved impossible. Sasuke never had to put effort into attracting anyone. Of course, Neji Hyuuga wasn't just anyone. He was the only man Sasuke knew who was even remotely comparable to himself. They both were amazingly good looking and intelligent. They both had style and taste.

The two of them were so far above everyone else that of course, one was the only acceptable choice for the other. Who really wanted to be with someone who was beneath him?! Sasuke couldn't understand why the man barely seemed to acknowledge his existence. While his mind processed those thoughts, he was staring at Neji and didn't realize how much time had passed.

Sasuke was pulled out of his reverie by a dark chuckle. "Careful Chia Pet', think those pretty dark eyes of yours might just pop out." Kankurou chortled, pleased with the glare his friend's little brother shot his way. Kanky wasn't worried. He was well insulated from this Uchiha's wrath. He had Itachi, his younger but scary brother, and his families bad ass reputation at his back. Sasuke couldn't even dream of touching him.
He continued to chuckle at the younger man's distress. Neji on the other hand really was a cold fish. He had barely even raised an eyebrow this whole time. This bothered Kankurou. He prided himself on his ability to irritate people, it was his gift.

The man in question simply turned around, offering Kankurou the view that had made him whistle. Both men steadfastly ignored his presence as they completed the task of showering. Kankurou, being the consummate perv stayed right were he was and enjoyed the show. There are way too many of these weirdo fruits in this building. Sasuke thought bitterly as 'his' Neji turned the water off, walked to where his towel lay draped over the wall by the elder Sabaku. Sasuke watched in awe as Kankurou actually had the audacity to pick the towel up and hand it to the Hyuuga with that shit eating grin of his. Ugh, I really hate that freak.

As far as Sasuke was concerned, that whole family was freakish. Kankurou was such a flamboyant fruit with his weird clothes and his 'dolls'. Being an art and drama major did not justify a grown man, playing with puppets. Gaara was a complete psycho. The only people Gaara didn't intimidate were the man's own little group, and Neji. The younger boy was fairly certain that nobody intimidated Neji. He was just too confident and cold.

Sasuke hated to admit it, but he did his best to stay the hell away from the 'green eyed monster'. Then there was that megalomaniac sister of theirs. Temari Sabaku didn't exactly have a knack for business. She was the head of the Sabaku family fortune, but if it weren't for her much older husband Baki, Temari would have run the thing into the ground. She'd probably be in prison for homicide too. The woman had a reputation for violence. Hell, the whole family does! And my freak brother hangs out with these people!

Neji was standing in front of a sink, brushing his long wet hair. He was wrapped up in a blue silk Kimono that made the little bit of visible skin glow like moonlight. His eyes where closed. Whether it was to ignore the other two men in the room or for some other reason, Kankurou and Sasuke couldn't guess. They both continued to watch him.

Sasuke finished his shower quickly and dressed while Kankurou was to busy to give him anymore grief. The raven suddenly wanted out of the room. It had just hit him. Neji hadn't looked at his naked body even once while they showered. That had never happened before. The youngest Uchiha was used to being oggled by fangirls and fanboys alike. How could Neji give himself to someone else and not even want to look at Sasuke. He felt sick and wanted to get away before the 'fruit' picked up on it and made his life a living hell.

Running the brush through his hair reminded Neji of the night before. Nara had loomed over him, playing with his hair, before painting a lock of it blue. He'd been very attracted to the dark haired man at that moment. He'd been worried that it would complicate things, since at that time, he thought he was only there because the cute blond, Nar had wanted him to be. Now Neji could remember those feelings and smile at the anticipation he felt run through him. Please let them decide to continue this. I've never felt so...alive. Neji really wasn't much into praying for things, always having believed that everything would turn out as it was meant to be. Right now though, he was willing to ask for a little divine assistance.

He heard one of his watchers exit the room, the outer door 'shushing' softly as it swung back and forth. He opened his eyes to see who had remained. Kankurou's grinning face could be seen staring at him in the mirror. "So you didn't just come in to torment him." Neji concluded aloud.

Kankurou's grin turned into a leer. "Actually, I did. But damn Neji! You've gotta quit hiding that hot fucking body behind clothes. Think I could convince you to just walk around naked all the time?"

Kankurou was really trying hard to get a reaction out of this guy. It was bugging him that he'd barely seen Neji's eyebrow twitch. He'd never messed with Neji before. Hell, I don't think I've ever spoken to the guy before.

Neji raised both eyebrows as he regarded the other's reflection in the mirror. "No, Sabaku. I don't think you can." With that Neji turned, picked up his things, and exited the room. Leaving Kankurou still leaning against the low wall and wondering, did Neji put a little more emphasis on the word 'you', just now. Was the man saying that there was someone out there who could?

Neji stifled the sigh as he entered his bedroom. Kankurou was a part of Gaara Sabaku's little cliche. Shino was somehow connected to them, if not a friend. It would not do to cause problems for Shino by being rude to his friends. He felt a moment of worry. The thought of Shino hanging out with the psychopathic trio or Gaara, Kankurou, and Itachi Uchiha bothered him. Yes, Shino was an adult, but he seemed so quiet and perhaps a bit naive.

Shino was so different from those other three. Neji had always wondered at his odd desire to help and protect Shino. It was another reason he'd wanted the boy as a roommate. This way people associated them with each other and gave Shino a little more respect and distance than they had before. No one really understood their relationship, so they stepped carefully around the other man, just in case. The almost nurturing tendencies Shino inspired were another reason why Neji had avoided the suite. It made him uncomfortable. He wasn't used to caring about anyone beyond what he was required to do.

Neji shrugged into a pair of sleep pants and a tank top and gratefully crawled into the large bed. He nodded off rather quickly after setting his phone's alarm, so that he would be up in plenty of time.
