I hate you. I hate you so, so very much.

Generally Naruto thinks Neji is a big, whiny girly man. Or that could be my own personal aggression poking out. Down rage. DOWN.

No, really. When he first met the guy he hated him. There was absolutely nothing attractive about some snobby little shit that was so impressed with fate and not doing anything to make his own destiny that it took everything Naruto had not to butcher him. In the end he used a good 'ol FALCOOOOOOOOOOON PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH and that's that. His patience only lasts for so long. That, and it was a good call. Because the one thing that has never changed is how impressed he was when Neji dropped kicked his family and became someone that Naruto could actually like.

More than like. Adore. Because, though he'll never say it? Neji is cool shit. He's charming and Naruto gets why all the girls flock to him. It's no surprise that he does catwalks and models and does all that other pretty boy stuff. ADMITTEDLY Naruto gets attention, too. But not because of his intelligence or winning wit. He'd rather have that than be known as the cute, dumb blond over yonder that can make a killer martini.

Even though his martinis are indeed delicious.

He's also seen Neji go through things that he himself doesn't... really know if he honestly could. There's never been any horrible family thing for him to go through. He doesn't know how it feels to be tossed aside by people you're blood related to. So for Neji to go through that shows a lot of guts. I think more than anything he earned Naruto's respect that exact moment. It's really the reason he looks at Sakura with such distaste when she can't even tell her parents off for disrespecting her. Their little, squatting old... hnnngh-

BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT SAKURA. MOVING ALONG.

Sidenote: George Lopez is currently on my telly. There was some gay kissing in the episode before the commercial. I find it hilarious, this timing.

Anywho. I won't go too far into detail because Neji's ego is already so vulnerable atm and whatever I say may or may not break it completely. Long story short Naruto thinks Neji is an awesome guy. He has a sense of humor and is THERE for his friends. People like him and they have good reason to. For what it's worth he might be jealous of people who are actually in Neji's life if he himself weren't already. BUT THAT IS THE ONLY TIME I WILL EVER SAY THAT AND NARUTO WILL NEVER-

The two gay guys... one is pale and into romance movies and the other is tan and on the swim team JDGHFGJDFGJFK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTH IS THIS GO AWAY LOPEZ GO AWAYkdjfkhfkshfksf

So as I was so deeply replying to you... where was I. Oh. So. Let's take a step beyond that shall we~?

In some ways Neji is on the same bar as Tenten when it comes to their levels of friendship. Naruto can tell the guy anything and doesn't need to give him a ring or ask for help because without skipping a beat he will BE there. He will know that something is wrong which is good for Naruto because he's too stupid to say anything in the first damn place. Thus the situation with Sasuke, that lovable skank scamp. He just... knew. And yeah, Naruto will deny it outright, but Neji knows. That's enough. He tried. Despite the crap going on right now he still tried.

And y'know, that means a lot. That they're so awkward right now and can still stick up for one another. Maybe it's just a possessive quality on Naruto's part, but if someone picked a fight with Neji he'd be there in an instant to wipe the floor with them. The whole situation aside, not that I won't touch on that because I know how much you love it, Naruto is so happy having Neji in his life. Neji doesn't ask for anything in return. They're alike in that way and he really can't help but enjoy the fact that someone is around to splurge him without him needing to ask or hint.
