I went on the hunt for Sai. Who knows where he might be after everything with Gaara, I think that's what his name is. If he thinks he can mess with Sai he's got another thing coming. I internally growled at the thought of him being near Sai again. I went to the only place I thought he might be and that was his room. I took the stairs to help clear my head. I put my hand on the cool metal hand rail and started jogging up the stairs. I had a ways to go, ten flights is no easy feet for some people, but luckily I'm not some people. The only sound that could be heard was my shoes hitting the concrete steps. I took two steps at a time not really thinking of anything other than getting to Sai. I was on the fifth floor landing and still didn't need a break. Sai looked frighten when I found him and Gaara. There is way more to this than meets the eye. I sped up my jog to a flat out run up the stairs. I burst through the heavy metal door that led to the tenth floor. I looked for my room number 1100, knowing that Sai was right next door. Maybe Neji or Shikamaru can switch with Sai and me for a while. That is definitely something to think about, but right now I must find Sai. I found the room and stared at the wooden door for a minute before lifting up my hand and knocking. I could hear movement with in the room and faint mumbling something about 'this is so troublesome.' That could only be Shikamaru. And sure enough Shikamaru opened the door rubbing sleep filled eyes. His brown hair was in his signature high ponytail and he was wearing a light brown shirt with nylon sleeves peeking through the cloth.
"Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked through a loud yawn.
"Yeah, I was wondering if Sai was here." I silently crossed my fingers.
Shikamaru nodded and jerked his hand backwards. "Yeah, he's laying down on his bed. You can talk to him if want. I'll go visit Neji. It's so troublesome to go next door though." Shikamaru groaned. He let me in and went next door.
I walked in the room noting the black couch and tall window that led to a balcony. To my right there was a large bathroom. I walked further in passing the bathroom and entering the bedroom slash living room area. Sai was curled up on top of his bed facing the window. Sun light was streaming in and Sai stared blankly at the window. I sat lightly on the bed my disturbance did not bother Sai. He stayed where he was, unmoving. We sat in silence. I honestly had no idea what to say. Before I had to think of something Sai started talking. His voice was raw, he had been crying.
"Sasuke-kun, that was my ex-boyfriend," Sai said still not turning around.
"I know."
"I moved from Suna to Konoha. Gaara and I went out for a little over a year and everything had been going well. I thought that he was the love of my life. Then he started to get rough with everything." I clutched the bed spread my hand trembling to punch something or specifically someone. Sai sat up and faced me. "He didn't beat me if that's what you are thinking. No he started demanding that we go all the way, but I wasn't ready so he ended up destroying some of my art work. Things that are so precious to me that he might as well have struck me." Sai paused and took in a deep breath. "We had been keeping our relationship a secret for the whole time until it somehow got out that we were seeing each other then everything went from bad to worse. No one said anything about Gaara because of who he is or more of who his father is, but they sure took it out on me." I pulled Sai in a tight hug. He started crying on me, my shirt was soon soaked with his fallen tears. My heart gave a painful lurch. "I didn't mind it like everyone thought I did. I am gay and I proud of that fact. But the thing that hurt the most was Gaara didn't do or say anything about our relationship. One day he dumped me and that was it. I went to school here a few more months before we moved to Konoha. I can't stand Suna and I want to go home." Sai clung to me and I held on tighter to him. "Please don't let me see Gaara again." Sai pleaded with every fiber of his being.
I've never seen him like this before. A broken Sai that I have know idea how to fix. I did the only thing I knew how do. I pulled away from Sai a little and brought our lips together. His breath was warm against my lips and he tasted of honey. I don't normally like sweet stuff, but he tasted delicious. Sai had kept everything bottled up for so long now he spilled all information without a second thought. I'm glad I know what's wrong now. No wonder he's been so weird and I wonder if he was really concerned about Neji or if he was just taking out his frustration on the first person that came into the line of fire.
Sai and I pulled apart panting for air and I pulled him into another hug. We stayed silent for the whole time. I don't know what to say.
"I want to kill him," I whispered into Sai's hair.
Sai looked up at me and smiled for the first time in who know's how long. "I don't know if your parents can get you out of that one," Sai said his smile turning into a smirk.
"We'll see about that and don't forget they have my brother."
"Did you just compliment your brother Sasuke-kun?" Sai asked with feigned shock.
"Of course not. I am just acknowledging that he's good at what he does. He doesn't need to complimented any more than he already is." Sai and I sat on the bed for a while not doing anything other than listening to the sounds of the traffic outside.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sai asked looking into my eyes. I never realized how deep his black eyes ran. I could get lost in their depths.
"Yeah?"
"You're not mad at me?" My eyebrows rose.
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because of Gaara," Sai said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Of course I am not mad. I would have no right to be. And you've done nothing wrong. Next time I see him I'm going...," Sai started to kiss along my neck sucking and nibbling on my pulse point. There were no more coherent thoughts running through my head. What was I going to do to Gaara?
Sai moved along my neck to the shell of my ear. My eye lids closed and I concentrated on the wonderful sensations that were running through my body. My skin started to heat up and my heart started to beat a little faster. It felt like a bird trying to get out of a cage. Sai's breath was warm against my cool skin and it sent shivers up and down my spine. I had to control the urges that were starting to take over my rational side. I wanted to give in to instinct, but I had to save this for later. The door creaked open and I heard two gasps.
"Whoa, sorry didn't mean to disturb you," Neji said a light blush staining his cheeks. Shikamaru was behind him staring off into space. Sai stayed close to me, but we pulled apart. "We were wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner." Neji walked further into the room his long brown hair falling past his shoulders. I wonder why it's not pulled back. He looked more relaxed with is hair down. Neji smiled at Sai and me and the position we were in. Sai was almost in my lap and we were near the edge of the bed ready to fall off at any moment.
I looked at Sai and he smiled a breath taking smile, it literally stole my breath away. I forgot how to breath for a moment and everyone was staring at me waiting for me to make a decision. I regained my composure.
"I think that would be good. What do you think Sai?" Sai's glittered with happiness. I sighed and the tightness that had been in my in chest released and my heart fluttered with happiness.
"I would love to go, let me change real fast."
"You look fine," I said grabbing Sai's hand as he got off the bed.
"But Sasuke-kun look at me." Sai gestured to himself.
"I am and I think you look fine, better than fine actually." I forgot people were there and started to brings Sai's lips closer to mine until I heard someone clear their throat.
"Okay, we'll meet you in the lobby in ten minutes," Neji said turning around and my cheeks heated up a little.
"See you soon," I said getting off the bed and walking to the door to say good bye to Neji and Shikamaru.
"It's looks like you two are getting along now," Neji said lingering in the door way.
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we worked it out and are doing fine now." I smiled without knowing it.
"I hope you two stay together for a long time to come."
"Huh?"
"Sasuke, I've never seen you this happy in all the time we have know each other. Hang on to Sai with all your might," Neji said and then turned around without waiting for my reaction and walked to the elevator with Shikamaru.
I stood in the door in a daze. I didn't move until Sai's hand on my shoulder woke me up from my daydreaming.
"Are you okay Sasuke-kun?" Sai asked. He closed the door behind him and we walked to the elevator.
"Yeah, I am good." I stood next to Sai and took comfort in bathing in his body heat. My heart started pounding and my palms got a little sweaty.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Sai, I love you," I said without thinking. Sai stared at me with wide eyes, but then they softened and he whispered.
"I love you too." We were in the elevator and I had the strong sense to wrap my arms around Sai and never let him go. Before I could do that the elevator stopped and let us out in to the lobby.
Neji and Shikamaru were waiting for us and we walked in the dimming light of the day. A cool breeze hit my face and I wrapped my arms around my body to keep in as much heat as I could. I didn't think that Suna would be this cold or sandy. I think a gallon of sand has blown directly in my face in just the past minute. We ended up picking a ramen shop. Naruto would be so mad right now if he knew that we were eating ramen without him. Shikamaru voiced my thoughts as we sat down at the counter and placed our orders.
"Naruto is going to be so mad when he knows we willing got ramen without him," Shikamaru said. He was seated next to Neji who was beside me and Sai was on the other side of me.
"I know what you mean the dobe is going so be pissed," I said smirking at the idea. I can't wait to tell him.
"Why's that?" Sai asked as we were served our steaming bowls of ramen.
"Because ramen is Naruto's favorite food and no one would ever eat it with him. I think he had it for almost every meal," I said. Sai smiled and started to eat. We all ate in a comfortable silence when a crash came from the other end of the ramen shop. Sai's face turned white and I couldn't figure out why.
"Sorry about that I'll clean it up," A booming voice said. When the man stood up I saw that he had purple tattoo's on his face and he was wearing all black. There was a girl with blonde hair in four pony tails all around her head standing next to the guy looking like she was ready to kill. Out from behind her stepped a familiar red head and my blood ran cold. Sai looked like he was ready to run, but I kept a steady hand on him.
"Don't worry," I whispered into his ear. That didn't relax him a bit, his hands were clenched so tight that his knuckles went white and he broke out in to a sweat. He tried to take calming breaths, but it wasn't working. Neji and Shikamaru were oblivious to it all. Gaara's piercing eyes spotted us and his face remained a cold mask. He definitely can compete with my brother with who can keep emotions at bay for the longest.
"Sai and you again," Gaara said. Neji and Shikamaru turned their full attention on the situation and all I wanted to do was kick the guy's ass.
"Uchiha Sasuke," I said glaring at the new arrival. The man with purple tattoo's and the blonde haired girl came up behind Gaara and whispered something in his ear. He nodded his and tilted it to the side. The guy and girl headed for the door and Gaara stayed behind.
"Well, let me guess, is this your new boyfriend?" Gaara asked. His ice blue roving over my body. I shivered involuntarily under the icy stare.
"Yes," Sai said. Straightening his back and bringing back some of his confidence.
"Did you get him the same way you got me?" Sai's eyes went wide and he started breathing hard.
"What do you mean?" I asked, wishing with all my being that I hadn't just asked.
"Oh, for instance did he proclaim to bring you out of your shell to bring the real you out," Gaara said a small smirk appearing on his lips. "And saying that he will get you to love him in just two weeks?" Sai stared at Gaara and I was finding it hard to breath. "Am I right? Sai you really need to work on some new methods. I hope you have a good meal. I'll see ya around." Gaara left leaving us all in silence. Neji and Shikamaru went back to eating their ramen trying to give us as much privacy as possible. I didn't know what to say though all that came out was.
"Sai?" I asked waiting for an answer, hoping that it would be what I wanted to hear.
