Authors Note- Sorry that it's so short. There's only a very small talking part so I had to break the rest up into smaller paragraphs. Hopefully it's easier to read. Also, is it Hyuuga or Hyuga? I've seen it both ways. I chose to use the first spelling.

Pretty Woman. Christmas Romance. Love Through the Ages. Eternal Lover. Until You. Love Story.

Sasuke groaned and turned off the television. The only thing on was love stories. Where were movies like The Terminator, Shoot to Kill, Maniac Cop, The Strangler and other plotless, mindless drivel with ridiculously high body counts? He went into the bathroom and started a bubble bath. After he grabbed some clean clothes and the bath was full, Sasuke got in. Not wanting to sit in silence, he grabbed the small battery operated radio off the shelf and turned it on.

How can I ease the pain when I know you're coming back again?

Sasuke quickly changed the station.

I knew that you were cheating on me baby.

No. Station change.

I'll never break your heart. I'll never make you cry.

Lies. Station change.

With this ring, I promise I'll always love you. Always love you.

Hell no! Sasuke tossed the radio across the room and watched it break as it hit the wall. If he didn't want to watch love stories that reminded him of Neji, then he sure as hell didn't want to listen to love songs that did the same. He leaned back in the tub, closed his eyes and sighed. He was tired and bordering on depressed. How could he not? Knowing about the affair tainted everything and he now begun looking for hidden meanings in innocent things. Neji was working longer hours at the office and while Sasuke truly understood how hard Neji was working for the promotion, he couldn't help to wonder if Neji was really staying late to do work? Working late meant he could spend time with Tenten. That thought burned through Sasuke because he didn't want them to spend time together. However, there was no way to keep that from happening. Tenten was a good secretary so there was nothing to use against her to get her fired other than her sleeping with his husband. Unfortunately, that was a personal matter and Neji, as her superior, would also get in trouble. And he couldn't keep unexpectedly dropping by for lunch if he didn't want to raise suspicions.

Sasuke was trying to deal with everything, but how in the name of hell was he supposed to ignore Neji's betrayal when it kept slapping him in the face? And he wasn't referring to the images he couldn't forget or the bed. Even with a new mattress and sheets and numerous cleanings, his house still felt tainted. Besides tainting everything, knowing also made many things he hadn't seen before becoming clearer. Like the fact that Neji and his whore were using Sasuke's very own schedule against him. Nothing was more eye opening, or gut wrenching, than sitting at your husband's computer doing work for him and realizing this. Sasuke didn't have a formal job- he helped computerize an old bookstore a few days a week- so he spent his time helping Neji by doing research, surveys, typing up notes or anything else he needed done. Sasuke had been bored and wanted to do busy work so he had decided to type up Neji's recent notes and update his daily planner. He had gone back a few days to make a notation when an entry about meeting with someone named M.E. caught his eye. It was a perfectly normal entry except for the fact that it was scheduled for the exact day and time that Neji had been with Tenten. The meeting couldn't have been cancelled otherwise it would have been noted. And no matter how small or insignificant, Neji would have never missed a meeting.

Sasuke didn't want to jump to conclusions but a disturbing thought began forming in his head. M.E. was Tenten. Meeting with M.E. Meeting with me. It made a lot more sense than anything else. Tenten was the one who did Neji's scheduling. She had sleep with Neji in his and Sasuke's bed so why wouldn't she be bold enough to write their meeting times in his planner like this. With other entries with eyebrow raising initials like F.U., P.U., B.O., I.C.U.P., B.M., P.P., A.S.S, who would ever suspect M.E? No one. A quick look back through Neji's schedule showed a few more entries involving M.E. Not surprisingly, the dates all coincided with Sasuke being at the bookstore. The only difference was the fact that this last time Sasuke had decided to come home three hours early. That piece of information had taken a chunk out of his defenses. He had pretended to be sick so he could take sleeping pills and sleep the day away. Once he finally woke up, he went about researching massage classes. If Neji loved massages, then Sasuke would learn how to do them professionally. Even feeling sad and pathetic, Sasuke still had his eye on the main prize, the preservation of his marriage.

Despite the pain, Sasuke once again pushed it to the side. There was nothing he could do about the previous months so he turned his attention to keeping it from happening again. He had barely got over that shock before he was hit with another one. He found out that Neji had been buying Tenten candy. Again, ordinarily an innocent gesture but given what those two had been up to.... Considering everything else, Neji giving her candy wasn't high on Sasuke's list of worries. The deceit surrounding it was another story altogether. The candy had been in Neji's briefcase and Sasuke had found it by accident. He had made a comment to Neji about it, who had said he bought it for Sasuke. Now as a rule, Sasuke didn't like sweet things but years before his friend, as a playful punishment, had literally shoved the candy in his mouth. He had braced himself for a sugar filled assault on his taste buds only to be met with the pleasant taste of bitter chocolate slightly sweetened by the fruit inside. The idiot obviously hadn't paid any attention to the package because a quick look at it revealed that this particular chocolate was sugarless. Sasuke had liked it so much that he still ate it to this day.

Just as he had been about to eat the candy, he saw that it wasn't the flavor he liked. Neji told him that they were sold next to each other on the shelf and apologized for probably grabbing the wrong one. Mistaking one bar for another wasn't hard to do because the company sold different flavors and types of chocolate candy: milk, white, dark, fruit filled, nut filled, fruit flavored, semisweet, and bittersweet. Each bar had a signature gold wrap displaying the company name and logo on it with shorter colored bands, to differentiate the flavors and types, wrapped around that. Sasuke's flavor, sugarless assorted fruit, had a dark blue band on it. The bar Neji bought was purple which meant it was almond filled. Neji had kissed him then and Sasuke hadn't given the candy another thought until recently when he went to the store. A mixture of shame and hatred coursed through Sasuke as he realized how utterly oblivious he had been. He had been to the store and bought the candy for himself numerous times so he knew that the kind he liked was sold with the sugar free candy, at the opposite end of the fucking aisle. There was no possible way to mix them up. He never even questioned Neji's flimsy excuse. How was it that he was so focused on his husband yet he was still blind to what he had been doing?

Sasuke began nibbling on his fingernails, a childhood bad habit that he had long ago given up. He didn't want to admit it but he was scared. Terrified really. He couldn't lose Neji. Sasuke wasn't being dramatic when he said Neji was all he had left. His whole life he had been regarded as the "pathetic second son," "shame," or "screw up" of the Uchihas. Neji was the first person who made him feel better about himself so it wasn't a surprise that Sasuke fell for him. His happiness was short lived once his father found out that he was dating Neji. To say he was mad was an understatement. Fugaku's main reason for his disapproval was the fact that Neji was a Hyuuga. Apparently the Hyuuga and Uchiha were once one huge family until an argument split them in two. The two sides never reconciled so for generations they've been enemies. Sasuke's father, proud Uchiha that he was, kept the feud going. It didn't help that Neji wasn't from the main branch and four years older than the then fifteen year old Sasuke. Fugaku had tried yelling, threats, bribery, and anything else he could think of to force Sasuke into breaking the relationship off. Sasuke absolutely refused. It was the first and only time he wanted something enough to go against his father for. Fugaku finally responded by literally throwing Sasuke out, with just the clothes on his back, and disowning him. Fugaku, or any of the other Uchiha's, hadn't spoken to him since.

"Sasuke, you in here?"

The sound of Neji's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. Before he could say anything, Neji walked into the bathroom.

"Didn't you here me calling you?"

"No, sorry. I must have dozed off."

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"What happened to the radio?"

Shit, he had forgotten about that.

"I was changing the batteries and it slipped out of my hand. I left it for later to clean up."

It wasn't even close to being believable but Neji didn't seem to care. He was too busy ogling Sasuke's naked legs that were resting on the rim of the tub. Normally Sasuke would have done something blatantly sexual like spreading them wider. Instead he pulled them under the water and sat up, hoping Neji would take the hint that he wasn't interested. Neji's hand slipping under the water to caress him told that he didn't. Sasuke groaned. Not in pleasure as Neji thought but from revulsion. After spending a good part of his day thinking about, and simultaneously trying to forget, Neji and Tenten his libido had shriveled up and died. The last thing he wanted was the hands that had touched Tenten to touch him. Before this Sasuke would have been able to tell Neji he wasn't in the mood but now with Tenten in the shadows.... For the good of his marriage he would lie back and fake it. So what it made him feel dirtier than he had ever felt in his life? Whatever it takes right? Right.
