Summary: After months of macking, Sasuke finally snags a date with Neji.

Sasuke was bravely resisting the urge to rip his hair out at his own stupidity, but he only had so much willpower. He realized belatedly in the middle of his inner celebration—because he refused to show how thrilled he was—that he had no idea where to take him. Honestly, after several months of flirting and, in his opinion, making an idiot out of himself, he never thought he'd get this far. Considering how amused Neji had looked when he said yes, the Hyuuga probably knew that.

Damn sadist.

So he was back to resisting ripping his hair out. Instead, he settled for banging his head on the desk. Just when the stars were beginning to invade his vision, he looked out the window and saw the faces of the Hokages staring at him. The only problem was that because of his recently acquired head trauma, everything looked kind of blurry and in waves. It reminded him of the time he had been swimming in the Land of Waves and had opened his eyes underwater. Later, he'd gone back with goggles for a better view.

'That's it.'

Sasuke immediately stood, the sudden movement making him dizzy before he smirked to himself and ran out the door. Nearly an hour later found Sasuke heading towards the Hyuuga estate, a sack slung over his shoulder. Neji opened the door just as he rang the doorbell. He was in a black, form-fitting shirt with a grey sleeveless jacket over the top. His black pants were tailored as well and his hair was up in a high ponytail.

He wanted to jump him. He wanted to jump him now.

Neji tilted his head to the side curiously, much like a bird would, and stared at him with blank, milky eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Sasuke's eyes snapped back up from their perusal of the Hyuuga's lithe body and nodded with a, "Yeah." He gestured with his head to the exit and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"Sure." The Hyuuga stepped closer to the Uchiha so they were nearly touching and looked up at him. "Where are we going?"

He really wanted to jump him now.

"It's a surprise."

Neji had slight smirk on his lips and seemed to be waiting for him to move. Oh yeah. Being a surprise, Neji would have no idea where they were going. He took a step back from the Hyuuga and began walking towards the front gate. Neji easily caught up to him and walked next to the silent Uchiha. The two moved noiselessly with Sasuke leading them into the forest. He could feel Neji's confusion and smirked to himself. When they reached a cluster of trees, Sasuke turned and placed a hand on the Hyuuga's shoulder to stop him.

"Close your eyes."

After a short staring match, Neji eventually gave in and let his eyes drift shut. Sasuke grabbed one pale hand in his and pulled him closer so he could wrap an arm around slender shoulders. He carefully maneuvered them both through the trees so they wouldn't crash into anything. With that task complete, he cautiously positioned Neji so he was facing his surprise. Unable to resist, he brushed the hair from Neji's shoulders and so all of it was draped over his back.

"Okay. Open them."

His eyes slowly fluttered open and he was unable to hold back a small gasp at the sight before him. There was a large lake in front of him with a waterfall emptying into it. The grass was a deep green with the occasional white flower dotting the area.

"This is beautiful."

"This isn't all."

Neji immediately turned to face him and stared up at the taller male again, waiting for him to continue. Sasuke pulled the sack from over his shoulder and dug into it, pulling out a pair of black swim trunks, and tossed it to the older male.

"I'm assuming those clothes aren't made for swimming."

Neji nodded and walked over to a nearby collection of trees. Sasuke walked in the opposite direction with a pair of navy blue swim trunks. They both returned to the clearing around the same time and walked towards each other. When he managed to tear his eyes from Neji's bare torso, he dug back into the bag and pulled out two pairs of goggles.

The Hyuuga had let his hair loose, so it was draping over his shoulders when he tilted his head, and his milky eyes were blinking enquiringly at the goggles clearly wondering what Sasuke was up to. Sasuke looked up at the sky to see that the sun was setting. He put his goggles on, prompting Neji to do the same.

"Follow me," he said and walked over to a nearby rock overlooking the lake. After sending another smirk in Neji's direction, he dove into the water. Neji allowed himself a small smile at the mischievous look he had seen on the Uchiha's face and followed him into the water. He saw Sasuke in an area near the middle of the water and swam over. The lake immediately got deeper from the waterfall constantly beating on the rocks.

There, at the bottom, Neji saw the rocks sparkling in oranges and yellows from the light of the sun shining directly on it. Sasuke looked to the side to watch what he could see of Neji's face. The Hyuuga was watching the rocks in what appeared to be wonder, the light reflecting on his own pale features. The lights twinkled, switching from orange to yellow in back in swirls and random patterns. To the Hyuuga's improved eyesight, it must have been even more wondrous. Eventually, the need for air pulled them back to the surface. They broke through the surface of the water, panting from having been underwater for as long as they could.

"That was amazing!" Neji breathed out.

"I'm glad you liked it."

Neji smirked at the amused answer before he slowly removed his goggles and lightly tossed them to the side. Confused, Sasuke removed his own and gazed inquisitively at the male less than an arm's length away. Once Sasuke's hand returned to the water, Neji moved forward and pressed his lips to the younger male.

The touch didn't last very long, but when he pulled away, he said, "Shore. Now." The older male smirked at him before they both swam to the shore. Neji had barely reached the shallows when Sasuke was over him, forcing him to lie back on the shore. Sasuke smashed their lips together, completely unwilling to separate from the attractive man underneath him. Neji's arms wrapped around the Uchiha's neck to pull him closer with one of Sasuke's arms going around his waist, heated skin in complete contact. When they finally pulled back, Sasuke kept his face close.

"I would like to point out that this isn't normal for me to say, but I am completely confused."

"I had a bet going with Tenten that I couldn't go three months without jumping you."

"How long has it been?"

"Three months are up today. I would say 'your place or mine,' but at my place the walls are paper thin."

"My place it is then."
