"neji why did you leave our house?" I asked as soon as we arrived back home.

"you were late coming home. I thought you hurt somewhere so I went out looking for you" he didn't even look at me when he said it and he wasn't stuttering either. It's unnatural for neji to be this calm when he's in trouble.

"Well I wasn't in trouble. I was just held up a bit at work" I muttered.

He suddenly turned to me with a glare "why didn't you call me to say you were going to be late? Do you like having me worried?"

"neji what's with this tone?" I said a little taken aback by his sudden hostility.

"I don't want to talk to you" he marched inside and slammed the door behind him.

He didn't say goodnight to me or even cuddle with me. Is he angry with me? That could very well be the case.

I woke up the next morning to find neji out of bed. He promised to wake me up before getting out of bed himself. Why is he disobeying me so much?

I walked to the kitchen expecting to at least be greeted to nejis warm smile. Instead I found neji sitting at the table eating scrambled eggs.

"your breakfast is in the pan" he pointed to the pan without even looking at me.

"neji you got up without waking me today" I gently reminded him.

"I don't need your permission to get up in the morning shikamaru" he said in an annoyed tone "you should start eating your breakfast. Your going to be late for work" I felt like crying. What happened my sweet little boy?

I thought about it non stop while I was at work. Ino and Choji had to yell at me cause I was making dumb mistake. I came home from work hoping for my sweet boy to greet me at the door like he always dose but I was greeted with nothing.

"neji!" I called out anxiously. Did he run away again? But why? I wasn't home late this time!

"I'm in my room" neji yelled from our room.

I ran to our bedroom to find neji crossed legged on our bed reading one of my old books. I didn't know he liked reading.

"neji why didn't you greet me at the door darling?" I said trying to snuggle with him. He immediately shuffled away.

"I have alot on my mind and don't have time to wait at the door for you to come home" he muttered "do you think you could leave me alone for a bit?"

"oh sure sweetheart" I retreated out of the bedroom.

I collapsed against the wall as my breathing grew faster and my heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. What happened neji? Will I ever get my sweet boy back?
