✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩ You look good in that one. ✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩

"No."

"What—?"

"Neji, your jealousy is making you a little fucked. When you actually stop being jealous, I'll think about it."

"Think about what?"

"Don't worry. Come on."

Within the time of walking back, he told you a list of reasons why he wasn't jealous and how he had nothing to be jealous of. You suspected it was because he was desperately aroused.

You stopped walking, turning around to look at him. He almost bumped into you. He blinked a couple times.

"What's wrong?"

"Neji, stop lying to yourself. You know what you want and so do I."

"No, seriously. I'm not jealous. I don't know what makes you think I am, but I absolutely am not. Then again, I do want something. If you know what I want then good for you." He pat your head.

You sighed. "Alright then."

Footsteps came up behind you.

"Ah, Y/n. I've been looking everywhere for you. You didn't answer your phone nor did you answer the door."

"Sorry, Ino. I was waiting on someone but they never came. What'd you need?"

"Well, my dad lives close around here and he said we can have a party over there. Do you want to come? I'm asking you too, Neji."

"Uhh.."

"I'll go. I've never been to a party before so I might as well take this as a chance, right?" Neji smiled. You narrowed your eyebrows, putting your index finger to your chin.

"I'll go too.."

"Great! Make sure you don't look ugly!" She waved, going back to her shared dorm with Sakura.

You pinched the bridge of your nose, letting out a sigh. "What the hell did I agree to? 'Don't look ugly'? What does that even mean?"

"You don't have to go."

"I agreed."

"Say you're sick."

"I'd probably miss out on something."

"Yeah, that's true. Just stay away from everyone?"

"The most crowded place would be the living room and the kitchen. Ino shouldn't mind me being in her old bedroom.."

"I'm not really a fan of parties. I don't know why I agreed so quickly."

"Well, it'll be boring anyway."

——

You twisted in the mirror, checking every part of you. The dress you had on was a little tight, but you had tights under it. You wore the leg warmers Neji gave you as well.

He stared at you from his bed, acting as if he was on his phone. You started to pick up another outfit until he said something.

"You look good in that one. Come on."
