One week
It had been an entire week since you’d seen Neji.
At first it didn’t concern you. You simply assumed he needed some space or had urgent clan matters to resolve
Even your friends reassured you with confidence. He would come back to you and have a simple explanation for his absence. Neji was known to be anything but deceitful- especially towards you
That’s why you weren’t sure you wanted to hear what he had to say anymore once he finally showed up at your door.
All you could do was silently stare at your boyfriends eyes, wordlessly pleading him to meet your gaze.
They were cold and bleary, such a contrast to the tender and focused look you were so used to seeing from him.
It was clear he was unwilling to look at you, so you stepped back into your house, leaving room for him to follow you inside.
You sat in the living room as he took off his shoes and coat, focusing on your breathing in an attempt to calm your nerves
But the second he entered the room and sat across from you, the weight in your stomach only intensified and your breathing becomes shallow.
Normally you would patiently wait and allow Neji to begin the conversation. You found he tends to open up more when he can start the conversation at his own pace.
But he had a week, and you’re not in the mood to wait.
“Neji,” your voice shakes out, “Say something to me. Anything. I need to know what you’re thinking.”
At the sound of your voice, he finally drags his face out from where it was wedged between his hands, leaving them on the side to rub his temples
“I can’t keep doing this, y/n. Not with you” He sighs out. His voice is sturdy, but his face barely holds up the same facade.
Neji wasn’t one for many words, so you learned how to understand his short phrases. So to you, he couldn’t have been more clear
Your eyes sting from the tears you’re refusing to shed, but those 8 words seemed to invade every part of your being until the lump in your throat was too painful to bear and a sharp sob escapes your wobbling lips.
‘not with you’
Those words danced around you until the tears in your eyes blurred your vision completely.
Neji watches his words break you down as he is unable to provide you comfort. His hand clamps down by his side as he refrains from instinctively reaching out to you. He feels cruel.
You finally collect yourself enough to force out a question through clenched teeth.
“If not me then who, Neji. Who?
You wipe tears from your eyes and meet his, your face feels hard as you prepare yourself to hear what he was going to say. To hear who he was going to be happy with as he left you alone with nothing.
He starts, “I don’t know if it’s a good ide-” “Say it dammit!” you interrupt
The idea of him with another woman had easily turned your grief into rage, and you were more than ready for this conversation to end.
He frowns, slightly taken aback by your sudden aggression, but keeps his eyes trained on you as he answers.
“Tenten”
You were sure in that moment your heart had physically shattered and that you were choking on its pieces.
“You said not to worry about her. You said she was a teammate and nothing else!” your voice was overflowing with emotion as you shouted at him
Neji, on the other hand maintained a low and calm voice, which only infuriates you to a whole new level.
“She was, but things developed and changed and I can’t be in a relationship with you when-” he paused to think “-when I have stronger feelings for someone else.”
That proved to be the last straw. You couldn’t handle to hear anything else
You were only able to whisper a “get out” to him, but the venom in your tone was clear, and he stood up and walked to the door alone and proceeded to leave
He turns one last time to look at you. His eyes were drooped and if you weren’t blinded by the hurt and rage, you would’ve been able to make out the tears forming and falling from his eyes as he whispered a final goodbye and left.
