A/N: My tummy hurts... mebbe I just need food... (listens to it rumble) Okay! Starting off this new chapter is some Hyuuga-loving!

Chapter Twenty — Indecisiveness
Hinata's eyes slowly fluttered open. They adjusted quickly to the darkness and she found herself staring up at her little sister's broadly grinning face. She sat up, holding the pillow to her chest, and looked around quickly before returning her gaze to the girl. "What's wrong? Did someone say they didn't like their presents and sent you to tell me?"
Hanabi scoffed. "This family's too big. I doubt they can actually tell what's from who after it's all been opened. That's not why I'm here. Neji..."
Hinata clutched the pillow even tighter, her cheeks coloring. "Hanabi..."
"Sis, I'm eleven. As protective as Daddy is, there are aspects of the world I'm already privy to, besides the intellectual." Hanabi hopped onto the bed, tucking the lone lock of hair falling in front of her face behind her ear. "Your period ended about ten days ago, maybe more, right?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Considering men's sperm last for five days—"
"Hanabi!" Hinata shrieked, covering her face.
"Okay. You'll use a condom. Though I doubt Neji has been with anyone else let alone touched himself."
There were a series of knocks to the door and both girls gasped, the oldest peeking out from behind the pillow.
"Hinata?"
They relaxed at the sound of their father's voice. "In here," Hinata replied.
The door opened and he stepped into the room. Hiashi smiled as Hanabi waved. He was glad to see his girls getting along so well. He crossed to the window and slid open one of the curtains, letting the sunshine flood the room. "Breakfast is in a bit."
"Can I stay with Hinata?" Hanabi mumbled. "Breakfast is just going to be all the adults talking about their Christmas and all the presents they have. Hinata and Neji won't be there."
"Neji's gone to the Academy for a Student Council meeting," Hiashi told them with a small sigh. "That means you both have to be at breakfast."
Hinata nodded and slowly slid her legs over the side of the bed. 'Neji...' She couldn't help but feel that he was avoiding her. The strength of the feelings they have for each other—she believed Hanabi's way might be the only one that could set them right.
"Hinata."
She blinked and stared at the girl now at her father's side. Hanabi grinned as she took her father's hand. She glanced at up at him to see him smile and they both glanced at the confused girl. "Happy birthday," the man and child stated in unison.
Hinata's eyes widened and she buried her face in the pillow, groaning loudly. She shook her head.
"I think she forgot," Hanabi giggled. "See you at breakfast!" With that, the pair left, closing the door to the birthday girl's room.
Hinata fell back onto her comfortable mattress, curling up into the fetal position. It was her birthday—her seventeenth birthday. She and Neji were now of the same age. Lowering the pillow slightly so only her eyes were visible, she sighed. 'Neji...'
§§§
Neji opened his eyes, his head propped up by his hand. This would be the last Academy get-together until February and they were here to discuss the finality of the plans for around that time. As Student Council President, he was to listen to the ideas, offer his own, and make a decision. All he could think about was Hinata and how he'd left her home alone. 'She has the entire Hyuuga family,' he reminded himself. He tightened his fist atop the table. 'But I left without wishing her a happy birthday.' Neji had stopped by Hinata's room before he left but she still been asleep.
"Neji? Neji?"
The lavender eyes rose to find the other members of the Student Council staring at him. "Hm?" he murmured.
The other teenagers sighed. "Did you hear a word of what we said?" the Vice-President asked, glaring at the brunet.
"Not really," Neji frankly admitted.
Tenten smiled where she sat at the end of the table as Treasurer. She knew that look on the Hyuuga's face and the lackadaisical attitude and air around him. She'd seen it with Kankurou countless amounts of times.
Neji was surprised anything got done considering the state his mind was in. Packing his case and clasping it shut, he was interrupted in his attempt to leave by someone calling his name. He stared at the brunette running up.
Tenten smiled, bowing slightly. "Do you mind if I walk with you?" she asked.
Neji shook his head and they both started out of the school, side by side, in silence. He glanced at the girl after several moments' time, feeling as though she was hiding something, and frowned at the cat-that-ate-the-canary grin on her face. "Not to be rude, but whatever's on you mind, please tell me."
Tenten laughed softly and raised her hands to tighten the scarf around her neck. Snow had fallen again last now and now crunched beneath their feet. "I was just curious as to whom the infamous Hyuuga Neji has fallen in love with."
The boy stopped and she did also after taking a few more steps ahead of him. A sudden breeze blew between them causing Tenten to shiver slightly and Neji's hair to sway in its passing. "Who says I'm in love?" the Hyuuga scoffed.
"Oh, please. The telltale signs are there." Tenten faced him with a coy smile. "In fact, they've always been there," she drawled. He scowled and pushed ahead of her. "Merry Christmas, Neji!" Tenten shouted after the slouched figure. She had to wait on the bus so she could no longer follow him. "And tell Hinata 'hi' and 'Happy Birthday' for me!"
Neji bristled but kept on walking. Intending to cross the street, he instead turned to his left and cut quite sharply around the corner. He'd take the long way home to cool down and think a few things through.
The universe wouldn't have had it any other way—Hinata crossed his path as soon as he appeared at the end of the drive after passing through the heavy iron gates. She appeared to have been coming from the guesthouse at the side of the main mansion. Upon seeing each other, they ceased to move and could only stare.
Neji sighed deeply and trudged up the cement path to where Hinata was frozen. He smiled upon reaching her. "Sorry I left without saying anything. Happy birthday."
Hinata blushed, lowering her head. "Thank you," she said softly. She twiddled nervously with her fingers and found the edge of her sweater a fascinating to play with. "Neji—"
"Let's go inside," the boy said, interrupting her. He was staring up at the windows of the mansion, feeling as though the millions of eyes of the Hyuuga family stared down at them. He faced Hinata with a smile and held out his hand. Hinata's blush deepened and she took it, curling her fingers around his. He'd intended to let go once they passed under the extravagant chandelier hanging in the grand lobby but Hinata held on. "What did you want to tell me?"
"Neji... you want me to see you before me, but... it's like your running away from me. I want to be wi—" Hinata gasped, eyes wide. She hadn't even been aware of his movements, even though he held her hand, but Neji was now firmly kissing her in the first floor lobby of the Hyuuga Main House. She placed a trembling hand to his shoulder and tentatively parted her lips.
Neji pulled away and stared down into eyes identical to his own. He ran a thumb over her bottom lip with a smirk. "Don't push yourself. I'm in no hurry. Besides, the entire household will be in uproar about your birthday. Then they'll drag me into it." He placed a kiss to her forehead then stepped away. "Keep your sister company and I'll see you at the party." Neji turned and jogged up the right staircase that led to his room.
Hinata watched him disappeared down the upstairs hall then clutched her hands to her chest, face burning. She heard her name being whispered and looked to the left to see Hanabi practically hanging over the banister. With a slight shake of her head, the birthday girl started up to see what her perverted sibling wanted.
`-`-`-`-`-`
A million miles up north, another couple continued to disagree on whether to agree. Iruka, bundled down from head to toe, glared at the silver-haired man through the opening created by his ski cap and the thick scarf he wore. He silently prayed to the gods the old saw would snap off in the tree trunk.
Kakashi had decided to manually get them a Christmas tree. "If you would come over here and help," he yelled. "We could go back inside where it's cozy and warm!"
"Don't yell at me!" the brunet shouted back. He stood from his seat on an aged tree stump and pushed his way through the snow. Grabbing the other end of the saw, they began a routine. He would pull when Kakashi pushed then vice versa. In about twenty more minutes' time—most of the job had already been done—their falling a tree caused the oxygen to slightly deplete. "Tired..." Iruka sank into the snow, now scorching in his multiple layers of clothing.
"You're tired? You're no man. Where are your muscles?" Kakashi had begun dragging the tree back to the cabin. "Hurry up before a bear gets you."
"There are no bears here," the young man mumbled as he rose. Nevertheless, he hurried forward and pressed himself up against the veterinarian's side, glancing around warily.
"There are no bears," Kakashi laughed. "Go open the door for me, hmm?"
His scowl hidden behind his scarf, Iruka stomped ahead through the snow and slammed the door open. He headed to the cabin's living room, stripping himself of layers along the way, and pulled the tree stand to the left of the unlit fireplace. He stood aside when the tree came in then assisted Kakashi in getting it straight and locked in place. Both men stepped back to admire it and shared a smile. Iruka looked away, blushing.
"Let's get the decorations," Kakashi sighed, pulling the brunet close. "Then we'll put presents under the tree."
"What presents?"
"I searched your room. It is my house, you know." The silver-haired man snatched up his keys as they walked through the door. "I can just imagine Sakura's face when she realizes you gave her something."
"You gave them out?" Iruka asked incredulously, pushing away the confining appendage.
"It wouldn't have made sense to leave them until we came back. Sadly, I didn't collect our presents. It would've taken way too long." Kakashi smiled, lifting the tonneau cover to his truck bed. He handed out bags to Iruka until his arms were full then grabbed two boxes for himself. They both headed back in. Once the truck was fully unloaded, the couple set about working on the tree together. Kakashi caught a few of the young man's smiles and would trade in the glares and scowls given to him for one smile, any day.
Iruka was somehow still like a growing child eager for Christmas. Almost sixteen years of his life had been robbed from him and he was now trying to acquire them once again. He stepped back as the ball fell from his hand and shattered. With a sigh, he knelt to brush together the pieces so they could be less harmful.
Kakashi rushed around the tree, careful of the shards, and pulled Iruka to his feet, staring at the injured digit. In mere seconds of waiting, the blood lined the slit then began pooling. The deep brown eyes widened as Kakashi sucked lightly on the bleeding finger and Iruka tried to pull away. 'Stop running from me.' Kakashi opened his eyes and his mouth moved from Iruka's finger to the man's parted lips. He tilted the dark head back, his tongue slipping into Iruka's mouth. Kakashi swallowed as he was pushed away and sighed. It was a few good moments. "Let's take a break. I'll get you a Band-aid then clean up the shards."
Iruka watched as the man walked away then stared at his finger. "Kakashi, I'm sorry," he said quickly, glaring at the pile of broken crystal as though it were to blame. "Don't get... mad."
"I can't get mad," Kakashi laughed, disappearing. "Well, not with you. Besides, I just wanted a kiss."
Iruka placed his finger in his mouth and ran after the older man. "You could've asked," he mumbled around the digit, falling in step beside him.
Kakashi smiled. "If youâ're in love, you shouldn't have to ask. There are moments."
"Moments mean both parties are... aware." Iruka backed himself against the wall, sticking his finger back in his mouth. He stared up at Kakashi's smile.
"A moment like this?" the silver-haired man asked softly. The brunet nodded slowly, not wanting to remove his finger. Kakashi did it for him and leaned down until their noses touched. He sighed a placed a kiss to the dark cheek before disappearing into the room beside him. "You're not ready," he yelled out. "This only means I have to try harder!"
Iruka smiled weakly, leaning his head against the wall. 'Maybe I won't thwart your advances one of these days.'
`-`-`-`-`-`
A/N: (taps fingers together evilly) Yes, one of these days, Iruka... one of these days. Bwah! I still haven't eaten anything, you know... and I probably won't, not until 2 o'clock or something—it's 10 o'clock right now as I'm writing this. I'm going to go read my new Harry Potter book for a spell—I'm on page 11! I just got it Saturday and I worked both Saturday and Sunday... considering all this, I got pretty damn far! XD
Wait, no... Wait! Forget the book! I'm going to watch Million Dollar Baby! (bought the DVD) Ohhh-ho-ho... you know I'm gonna bring this movie back up later on.
