“It’s getting late.”

You glance up at the sky, soft hues fading into night, then back at him. “I’ll be fine.”

A pause.

Neji doesn’t move.

“…I’ll walk you home.”

You blink. “You don’t have to.”

“I am aware.”

His tone is calm, steady but there’s no room to argue with it either.

You smile a little. “Then why are you offering?”

A brief silence follows.

“…it is safer,” he says.

You tilt your head. “For me?”

“Yes.”

There’s no hesitation in it.

No teasing. No deflection.

Just quiet certainty.

Your expression softens slightly.

“…okay,” you say.

That’s all it takes.

He steps beside you, naturally falling into pace like he was always meant to be there. Not too close. Not too far.

Just enough that his presence feels… steady.

Grounding.

For a while, neither of you says anything.

The sound of your footsteps fills the space between you instead.

“You don’t have to be so serious all the time,” you murmur after a bit.

“I am not serious at all times.”

You glance at him.

“…right now you are.”

A pause.

“…perhaps.”

That earns a soft laugh from you.

His gaze flickers toward you briefly, just long enough to catch the way you smile, before looking forward again.

“…you should not walk alone at night,” he adds after a moment.

“I’ve done it before.”

“That does not make it wise.”

You hum, nudging his arm lightly. “Good thing I have you then.”

He stills for half a second.

Then continues walking like nothing happened.

“…yes,” he says quietly.

The rest of the walk feels shorter than it should.

Too quick.

Before you know it, you’re standing just outside your door.

You turn to him. “This is me.”

“I know.”

Of course he does.

You hesitate for a second.

“…thank you,” you say softly.

“There is no need.”

“But I mean it.”

He studies you for a moment, calm, observant before giving a small nod.

“…then you are welcome.”

You smile at him, softer this time.

“…you can walk me home anytime.”

A pause.

Then, just as quietly

“…I intend to.”

Your heart warms a little at that.

And as you step inside, you can still feel it

His presence lingering, even after he’s gone.

[inside-lees-mind]

hiiii!! sorry if this is kinda specfic but could i rq neji and gaara + anyone else you would like with a reader (romantic or close friends type thing, up to you!!) that grew up with older siblings (a kind of big-ish age gap? like they were around 8 or so when the reader arrived) and the reader + their siblings are all competitive over ANYTHING, so they love to rub it into each other alot (like a "heyyy big sib, remember when i beat you in a match of rock paper scissors and you promised me hotpot? well i want to cash in my reward now") just like a 'healthy' siblings dynamic, they aren't scared of inviting [insert character] into these little games, cause they just want them to let loose a little,,, so kind of just fluff, kind of like character getting to know s.o/readers family outside of formalities or important clan thingies,,,,

Neji and Gaara (separately) with a reader who has Older Siblings

More specifically, a healthy relationship with those siblings.

Neji Hyuga

He’s just a little jealous.

He admires your dynamic with your older siblings

The way you all bicker, compete over food, etc.

And especially the way you all have each other’s backs. Your older siblings, despite being quite a bit older than you, might bicker with you like your close in age, but they have the clear older sibling role.

All of them protect you. (Like how they all warned him not to hurt you. He won’t, but he admittedly was scared)

He keeps his distance from all of you when you’re bickering or competing though because he made the mistake of not doing so once, and he blinked and suddenly he was in the middle of a food fight…

He pretends not to hear you when you ask him to defend you, because he’s not getting involved and used as collateral.

If all of you decide to go out to eat and purposely seek him out to go with you all because he’s “part of the family,” he will be so happy (inwardly, he doesn’t show it)

He ends up involved in random games you all play together, usually as your partner in those games. He’s tired, but he’s so grateful.

Gaara of the Sand

Reminds him of his older siblings once he recovered and amended their relationships.

He’s glad you’ve always at that support system. He knows how important it is and how nice it is.

You have a much larger gap with your siblings than he does with his siblings though, so he wonders how you guys have anything in common at first. It’s hard to see how somebody 8 years older than you would share your interests or hobbies or anything really.

There is a rather large gap between him and Temari and they get along fine though, so he takes to just watching you and your siblings from afar.

He notices how you all bicker and argue. You’re clearly competing, but you’re laughing.

Any mean comments are taken lightly and don’t go too far.

He finds himself smiling.

Until he’s being dragged by the wrist to split some sort of tie. He’s startled, but goes along with y’all and tries to help.

If your siblings ever refer to him as family, his eyes will light up. He’s so happy to be included.
