My Partner for the game!

               "Neji?! How did you get here? You were just there a moment ago and whaa-"

He gracefully went towards me with his hair swaying to the side as he touched my shoulder. "I knew you would be here," he whispered in my ear which gave me tingles. I dare not to look at his captivating eyes, realizing that tears still flew out of my eyes. he gently wiped the tears off me.

"I've never imagined seeing you cry," he said softly.

I sniffed and quickly washed my face. But when I keep thinking of Gaara, tears just escaped even more. I quickly washed my face even more UNTIL Neji grabbed my wrist and said, "It's useless, it will keep dripping until you find a real antidote."

"Would a band aid work?" I asked, continuing this talk.

"No, you need a real antidote," he replied with a warm smile which made me want to smile.

I closed the tap and dried my face. As I was doing that, I felt his cold fingers against my bare skin on my neck, it matched my temperature as he slid through my shoulder which it turned to a hug with my hands grasped against his.

"Why rely on someone who would only bring you to tears?" he asked softly in my ears.

That echoed so much in my ears, I didn't know why I even would be in tears because of him.

"Because... I don't know, but I am so attracted to his chakra and there's something different about him when I'm around him," I replied.

"What about mister long hair?" he asked.

I gave him that look where I was like "what?"

"To be honest, I felt it with you too but for some reason, uhh... Nevermind,"

"Seems that you like him," he said.

"Like him? No, that couldn't be the case..." I said as I turned around towards him. "Wait... You're okay with that?"

He smiled. "If it means to make you happy then I'll help you out," he stated.

"But Neji, how could you? I mean you liked me... I'm not sure when you kissed Sakura but-"

"I just want to never see you cry like this again, I don't think he's the right person for you, I mean he made you cry, even if your chakra may seemed attracted to him, doesn't mean you have to be with him," he said.

I chuckled. "I guess... My chakra is messed up."

"Come on, let's play seven minutes in heaven, I'll tell you everything... All your questions will be answered and I also have a surprise if we get picked," he said as he looked down at me.

I don't know why but I suddenly embraced Neji with my arms around his back. I could feel his warmness which is like the most comfortable pillow I could ever want to sleep on...

"Thank you, Neji, I don't deserve to have a best friend like you who would always be there for me and knows when it's the right time," I said sheepishly as I squeezed him harder.

He embraced back and placed his chin on my head. He chuckled and said, "I don't know how I deserve to get a hug from the most delicate flower."

"I wish I could stay like this forever, I want a pillow I could hug whenever I feel down," I said as I removed myself from his wonderful presence.
