White eyed savior [Yaoicest!]

Neji looked away, nodding slightly in response to Sasuke's question. Neji knew how he felt....vulnerable....weak and used...like you weren't even human anymore....he knew exactly what Sasuke was feeling. "Thank you..." He stood and went over towards the closet, opening it up and pulling out some sleeping things. "Sasuke....you're not weak, you can't think you are. You just have to remember....that sometimes there are things you can't control, some things you can't stop....no matter how much you want to..." He started to set up the bed on the floor, unrolling the mat. "Let us just hope that for you....it is only once"
 
Well, that was a hard thing for Sasuke not to think. He thought himself weak anyway! With the simplest of mistakes he called himself weak... 'not even worth killing.' "If I'm not weak, then what am I?" he asked softly, more to himself really.

A bit of guilt settled in the raven's chest. Here he was complaining -well, he considered it complaining- about this one time, while it seemed Neji had gone through it many. "How many times? Who?" he couldn't stop himself from asking, but he shook his head a bit, flinching at the black splotches that covered his vision when he did that. He waited for the black to go away before he added. "Sorry, you don't have to answer that."
 
"......I.....I should answer.....I talk about how you should feel better so....it's only right I talk too....to try and perhaps help myself as well as you..." Neji slowly sat down on the bed, though staring at his knees rather than looking over at Sasuke. "......My Uncle.....as for how many times....I've really lost count. 2 years ago....he was drunk, he saw me and....he thought I looked much as his late wife did when they were both younger. He.....decided to act on old impulses. After he realised his mistake....he simply kept going....near enough every night since then I suppose...." Neji slowly shook his head. By now he didn't waste his energy getting upset over it. That wouldn't change things, all he could do was......tolerate it.....until he could leave and make it stop.
 
Sasuke listened silently, though when the story was finished, he reached out a hand and placed it on the other's arm. "I'm sorry," he mumbled softly, bitting his lower lip. He stayed quite a while longer before he added. "You can stay here, no one will find you here," because no one went into the Uchiha district now. Most people said it was haunted, the smarter people said it was just as eerie as a battle ground.

Again, a change of subject was in order! "Tomorrow," because he couldn't get himself to move today he was sure, "will you help me take a shower?" he felt so... gross, and not just metophoriccally either.
 
"I...that's most kind Sasuke...thank you". Neji was most thankful for the offer. He doubted it would actually stop Hiashi from finding him for his own sick relief, but it might at least reduce the frequency that it occurred. "You....want me to help you....." Neji flushed slightly, then nodded. "Very well, I'll help you, I can imagine you'd like a hot shower...."
 
Sasuke gave Neji something that looked like a smile before he pulled his hand back and relaxed on his bed. After a bit of manuvering, he pulled the balnket up to his chin and closed his eyes. "The bathroom is across the hall," he muttered softly before a yawn streatched his mouth. "There isn't much here, but you're welcome to it," he finished before relaxing further and trying to find sleep.
 
Neji looked at Sasuke and returned the smile, watching the boy almost protectively, before he slowly lay down on his own mat beside Sasuke's bed, pulling a blanket over himself. "I know it will be difficult Sasuke...but try to get some sleep. I'm here if you need me alright? Don't hesitate to wake me if you need anything, even if it is just to talk"
 
"Thank you," he stated softly, before returning to silence.

Neji was wrong, falling asleep was easy, his body was exhauseted, it was staying asleep that was hard. Not three hours after he had fallen asleep did he start to whimper and jerk. Nightmares... He was used to these, seeing his clan fall, and his brother mock him, but this time it was different. It was about Naruto.

Sasuke choked in his sleep, then gurgled as if he were being strangled.
 
Shortly after Sasuke had gone to sleep, Neji slowly drifted off into a light sleep of his own, though it seemed it was to be short lived. As he heard Sasuke starting to gurgle and choke, the Hyuuga's eyes snapped open. He was used to being a light sleeper, always on the lookout for the noise of his uncle entering his room, but this time it was different, this time he looked to Sasuke and frowned, slowly standing up and reaching out, trying to gently shake the boy awake. "Sasuke....Sasuke wake up....It's me, Neji"
 
Sasuke's eyes snapped open once he was shaken, and in his desperation, threw a punch. But, Neji's voice registered in his head, and he was able to stop his hit short, his knuckles barely an inch away from the white eyed teen's cheek bone. He was shaking all over, eyes wide as saucers, puiples dialated, and his fist was starting to tremble in the air.

The Uchiha swallowed thickly, and after a few moments, let his fist drop down onto the bed with a muted 'thud.' He hadn't let a nightmare get him worked up since he was ten! But then again, this was a different kind of nightmare. "Sorry," he stated in a rushed, choked voice as he turned his head away shamefully.
 
Neji stood still as he saw the punch coming, he'd had every intention of simply allowing Sasuke to punch him, perhaps it would've helped him relieve some of his stress and anger, but he smiled when the boy stopped short, watching as the fist was lowered to the bed. "You don't need to apologise, it's a natural reaction" He smiled reassuringly, those brilliant white eyes shimmering even in the darkness of the room. "Is there anything I can do?" He started to look Sasuke over, checking to see if his movement had opened up any of the wounds.
 
Sasuke bit his lower lip hard, and continued to hide his face as tears formed in his eyes. Nothing had opened, except for a small wound on his shoulder that started to tint the bandage red, but it was nothing to be worried about.

When Neji asked if there was anything he could do, he wanted to say 'no,' but instead found both of his arms shooting up to wrap around the older teen. Sasuke ended up pulling himself up to press his forehead to the Hyuuga's chest, his shoulders shaking slightly.
 
Neji was....surprised to say the least by the sudden hug, but after a moment he slowly and gently returned it. "It's ok....everything will be alright Sasuke". He tried to gently stroke the Uchiha boys head soothingly, even rocking him gently. "Just relax Sasuke...just try to relax and clear your mind"
 
Slim fringers gripped tightly to the back of Neji's shirt as he shook a little harder. "It... hurts," he mumbled softly, trying to do as instructed and relax. He shivered at the gentle petting, no one had pet him like that since his mother, neither had anyone rocked him back and forth like that... It calmed him down some.

Eventually, the shaking stopped, and Sasuke relaxed into the hold, but refused to let go or show his face. He was being so stupid and he knew it... but he just couldn't help himself right now.
 
"I know it hurts but....the pain will go away in time" Neji continued gently stroking Sasuke's hair until he stopped shaking, but didn't let go. It seemed Sasuke had the same plan, just wanting someone to hold, someone to comfort him. Neji knew how that felt....but he'd had nobody. There had been nobody there to hold or comfort him....and he wouldn't let someone else go through that. He would be here for Sasuke, whatever it took. "I'll be here Sasuke, I promise. I'm not going anywhere..."
 
Sasuke turned his head a bit to press his cheek to the Hyuuga's chest, and closed his eyes. "Don't let go," he mumbled softly, clutching himself a little tighter to the other. The raven relaxed a bit and cuddled a bit tighter.

It was wierd, to want this kind of contact. But it made him feel safe.
 
"I won't let go Sasuke....don't worry alright?" Neji looked down at the other boy and smiled softly. "Just sleep alright? I'll still be here when you wake up ok? But you need rest, it'll help you yo heal faster". One of Nejis hands was stroking Sasuke's hair, the other hand stroking the Uchiha boys back in an effort to try and comfort him further. "I'll hold you all night if it's what you want...."
 
Sasuke opened his eyes and tilted his head just enough to catch a glimps of the opal white eyes. He nodded his head, "ok..." The raven nodded again at the offer to hold him all night, and he moved to get a bit more comfortable.

After a few whimpers and hisses of pain, Sasuke forced himself to pretty much sit in the Hyuuga's lap. He panted softly against the taller male and closed his eyes again. He relaxed completely, and if allowed, would fall into a deep sleep.
 
Neji was rather surprised when Sasuke crawled into his lap. He hadn't been expecting that...but he didn't pull away, he just continued holding onto Sasuke. "Just relax...." Neji leaned back against the wall slightly so he could sit up if he fell asleep, waiting until Sasuke did first before he closed his own eyes. Once the Uchiha was asleep, Neji started to drift off to sleep himself.
 
The raven slept the whole night after that, occasionally twitching from a nightmare, but none were enough to wake him up. Sasuke drew a bit closer to the long haired shinobi when the sun started to rise and light dragged over his face. He didn't wake up though, instead he burried his face further into Neji's chest to keep out the sunlight.
 
Neji moved with the twitches, but didn't awake, it would take a little more than that. Though whilst the sun didn't wake Sasuke, it did cause Neji to stir. He barely moved though as his eyes began to slowly flicker open, glancing slowly down at Sasuke and seeing he was still asleep. Neji couldn't help but smile slightly, happy that even after what he had gone through, Sasuke had managed to get the rest he so badly needed. He had already decided that once Sasuke awoke he would prepare some breakfast, though he wanted to know what Sasuke wanted first.
 
Sasuke continued to sleep for a few more hours. It was almost lunch time by the time the exhausted Uchiha slowly opened his eyes. It took moment for the sleep fog to clear and him to remember just where he was. A blush touched his cheeks once he realized he was in Neji's lap. "Sorry," he mumbled softly before attempting to crawl his way out of the Hyuuga's lap.
 
"Hm? There's no need to apologise" Neji smiled softly as Sasuke slowly crawled away. It was almost cute in a way...and it was rather relieving to see Sasuke more relaxed than the previous night. "Now...how about some breakfast hm? I'm sure you must be hungry....so why don't I whip something up for us? I'm not the best cook but....it's edible"
 
Sasuke brought a hand up to his head and placed his palm over his temple. It occured to him then that he was naked in bed beside the Hyuuga, but Sasuke was in too much pain to really care.

A large bruise had formed over his right temple that even reached his cheek. He gave a soft sigh, trying to will the pain in his body away. "I don't have much," he muttered with a flinch, he hadn't gone shopping in a while. But he was sure he had stuff to make sandwhiches. "But ok..."
 
"Alright, just wait here and I'll go get some food ok?" Neji smiled, eyes fixed on Sasuke's face as he slowly stood up. He'd have to get something for that bruise aswell, some ointment to help with the swelling. The older boy stood and turned to go, leaving the bedroom and heading for the kitchen, rummaging around for a short while until he found what he needed. Sasuke had been right, there wasn't much, but there was enough to whip together a few sandwhiches at least. Once everything was ready, Neji headed back for Sasuke's room, carrying breakfast, juice and some ointment for the bruise.
