I stared at Gaara, trying to read him. His shoulders were thrown back and his chin was lifted. His stare never wavered as we continued to stare at each other. Sai put his hand on my arm alerting me back to reality. "I'm going to have to say no," I said turning around dragging Sai along with me.
Gaara followed after us not relenting. I don't know how to shake this guy off. "Sai then you dance with me. Just for old time's sake," Gaara said when we were back at our table. My gripped tightened on Sai's hand.
I have had about enough of Gaara. "What is your problem?" I said with venom not even trying to hide the fact that I loathed him. Sai stood when I stood not even breaking the contact we had.
"I only want to talk with Sai," Gaara sighed. He put a hand over his eyes. He looked tired. I wonder what the hell he wants to talk about.
"Whatever you want to say to me you can say in front of Sasuke," Sai said without saying kun. I was a little stunned he always calls me 'Sasuke-kun' well in most situations, but this not definitely not the right time to think about that.
"I know, I've been an ass. I can't seem to help that when I'm around Sai," Gaara said looking ready to run or turn back in to the bastard he was a few moments ago. "In all reality I wanted to apologize to Sai about what went down between us. I thought I might be able to get a second chance to prove that I could be a better boyfriend, but that obviously that can't happen." Gaara looked at me then turned back to looking at Sai. Sai moved closer to me, bringing more body heat to me. I was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic in the club. I wanted to go outside and feel the cool night air.
"I don't know what to say," Sai said looking thoughtful.
"You can call him a jackass and then we can leave," I said feeling uncomfortable with the whole conversation. What if Sai considered taking getting back together with him? I don't know what I would do with that.
"Sasuke-kun, I think he's being sincere," Sai whispered in my ear.
"Fine, if you're sure." I can tell that this means a lot to Sai. I might as well stay to make sure nothing happens without me seeing it with my own eyes.
"Sai, you know that we could...," Gaara didn't have to finish his sentence to let his intent be known.
Sai stood beside me for a long moment not saying anything. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Neji and Shikamaru holding their breath. It's not like they have anything to lose with this matter, when I on the other hand have everything to lose concerning my relationship. Just when I give my heart away, it might be taken away from me. I don't know what I would do without it because I know it would go with the one person who was able to make me open up more than anyone in this world could. But no matter what happens I know I don't regret what we have together. It's very clear that Sai can make people come out of the shells that they have built around themselves. I let go of Sai deciding it was better for the two of them to talk alone even if it made me want to take Sai with me and never let him go, but I think he needs to do this.
I pulled Sai close to me and whispered in his ear. "Go talk to him." Sai stared up at me like I said have sex with me on the dance floor right now.
"Are you sure Sasuke-kun?" Sai eyed me. I shook my head.
"Of course I don't want you to go." My hands balled into fists. "Especially with him," I tossed my head at Gaara who was waiting in close proximity to us. "But if you feel like this is the right thing for you do then you should go talk to him. I can tell you have a lot work out," I said through clenched teeth. This was getting harder and harder to say with each word. The music was pulsing through my body making want to sway with it.
"If you're sure your okay with it I would like to talk Gaara." Sai hugged me then walked off with Gaara to the depths of the club.
Every fiber of my being was screaming at me to follow them, I stayed where I stood not moving an inch.
"Sasuke you should come sit down at the table," Neji said in my ear. I could barely hear over the music and I was trying to concentrate to see if I could see Sai and Gaara anywhere. Neji gently put his hand on my arm, steered me to the booth and plopped me down on the seat. "I'll go get you something to drink." I nodded my head in response. From above I could see Neji shake his head and Shikamaru shrugged. They left me in at the table heading for the bar. I didn't take much notice.
I craned my neck to see above the crowd with very little success. Sai and Gaara were no where to be seen. Not that I really expected to see them so soon after they left, but there still might be some hope that their whole conversation will end quickly. Then a flash of memory hit me like a blow to the gut, Gaara with Sai held against the wall. There was a lot to talk and it would take time. Time I was willingly to give them no matter how much it made me shake inside. Of course I would never say that out loud. How would it look if Uchiha Sasuke was afraid of losing something? I can't do that. Plus my pride is too big to let me ever admit that. It will have to be a cold day in hell before I ever said I'm afraid of what might come of this. Sai would never think about getting back together with Gaara, right? I nodded my head. There's no way. He told me what happened in their relationship who would ever want to go back to something like that.
"Sasuke who are you nodding at?" Neji asked as he set down a glass with water in it. He took a seat opposite of me with Shikamaru flanking his side.
I looked up with wide eyes. I didn't hear them coming. I guess, I wouldn't have considering all the chatter and how loud the music, but still my heart feels like it's about to pound out of my chest. I put my hand over my heart and straightened in my seat. "No one I was just thinking is all." I grabbed the glass and took a sip. The coolness from the glass brought me back to reality. Making me realize how rude I was being by just answering Neji with nods and not saying much. Some friend I am.
"Are you worried about Sai?" Neji leaned back in his chair. His long hair draped over one his shoulders. Shikamaru was looking at the dance floor and mumbling something about it being to 'troublesome to dance.'
"That obvious?" I asked slapping my hand against my forehead.
"No, not really. Unless someone really knows you I don't think they could tell," Neji responded. I glanced over at him, he was smirking. I smirked in return.
"There are not many people that could claim they know me," I said. My smirk turning into a smile. Neji really is my best friend.
"I'm happy to say that I'm one of them. Now enough talking lets go out to the dance floor." Neji stood up and grabbed my hand.
I tried to pull my hand out his grip, but I forgot how strong he was. "I don't think that would be..."
"A good idea?" Neji wagged his finger at me. "I don't want to hear that from you. You were dancing with Sai so you can dance with other people too, although maybe not in the same manner." A small blush covered my cheeks; luckily it was dark enough that Neji couldn't see it.
"Fine, but can you let go of my hand? I'm not going to run away."
"No, I have to make sure you won't be sulking over here while you wait for Sai to come back from talking with Gaara. Now come on." Neji pulled me on to the dance floor.
We ended up in the middle of dancing with some of class mates. I was mashed between Sakura and Ino who claimed to be keeping me away from all the fan girls and boys. "Yeah,
Sasuke-kun now that Sai isn't by your side right now we have to make sure no one else tries to steal you away from him," Ino said getting really close to me.
Sakura was right beside, her trying to fight her way to get closer. "Not so close Ino pig," Sakura said pushing Ino away with her body. She ended up being closer to me. I started to back up a little.
"Sakura, you're making Sasuke-kun feel uncomfortable."
"No, Ino you are."
Sakura and Ino started fighting while I snuck away. I found Neji dancing close by and joined him happy to be away from the crazy girls. They are better than I thought they would be, but they still get on my nerves sometimes.
"Hey Sasuke I saw you dancing by Ino and Sakura what happened?" Neji said. His long hair flowed with his body's movements.
I tried to keep up, but my mind kept running around in circles about Sai and Gaara. Were they done talking? What did Sai decide to do? Is Gaara really trying to persuade him to take him back? Along with another million questions that are flying around in my head.
"They started fighting about me or something about getting to close to me. To be honest as soon as they started knocking each other out the way I was planning my escape."
"Those two are definitely crazy over you along with half the school." Neji somehow ended up very close to me. His body heat was radiating off him.
I pulled back a little. What is up with everyone wanting to be smashed up against each other? I know that goes along with dancing, but what the hell ever happened to my personal space? Everyone should know how much I hate making bodily contact unless I want to. Apparently that message was lost somehow with the class trip.
But what the hell? It's not like I dance. I started dancing by Neji making sure we had a good space between us he didn't seem offended with me opening up with the space between us.
By the time I checked my watch it was already two in the morning. Where did the time go? Neji was right, dancing helped get my mind off everything concerning Sai, and now that we are headed back to the hotel my head is back to where it was before.
A lot of people stayed behind to drink and dance more, Neji, Shikanaru and I decided it was time to go. Without Sai. He still hadn't come back from talking with Gaara. This information was driving me up the wall. I know they have a lot to talk about, but it's been hours! I told Sakura and Ino if they saw Sai to tell him that I went back to the hotel. They were more than happy to deliver the message.
We all walked down the street trying to against the cold night air. It was enveloping us in a never ending wind. I wonder if the sand and wind ever stop blowing around here. I wrapped my arms around myself.
"Hey, Sasuke don't worry about Sai, I'm sure he'll be on his way soon." Neji tried to comfort me, but it was getting harder and harder to stay positive.
"Thanks Neji." Is all I said as we made our in to the hotel. We made our way through the large glass doors; warmth hit me as we entered the lobby.
Shikamaru went to Neji's room when we reached the rooms. I raised an eyebrow at him, but said nothing. I said goodnight to both of them then went in my room.
I turned on the lights to find Sai sleeping on my bed curled up in a ball still wearing his clothes from the day. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my lips. I sat next to Sai on the bed. It sank beneath the added weight.
Sai's eyelashes fluttered open as he started to wake up. He looked up at me blinking a few times. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. I crushed him against me.
"Sasuke-kun? What time is it?" Sai's question was muffled as he said it against my neck.
"It's about two." I pulled back and looked in his tired eyes. "Where were you? I've been worrying about what happened for the last few hours. I didn't know...," Sai put his finger against my lips.
"Shhh...Sasuke-kun. Everything went fine. I'll tell you all about in the morning, right now let me show how much I love you," Sai said pushing me down on the bed and molding his mouth to mine.
