[Open] Bittybody?

"Aaah! Get back here!" he'd let some concentration slip, and the paper had been blown off by the wind. He groaned as it flew far, far off, and pouted. He'd done good holding it for the best part of two hours, too!

He blinked then, eyes widening. There -was- a paper nearby! Not his paper, but any clean one was good, and this one was laying on the grass, all really bright and yellow! It demanded to be picked up, and Sasuke did!

He just sighed through his nose, trying not to be so disconcerted. As refreshing as it had been to see such expressions on the female Sasuke's face...? It still was not as if she were the one making them. Instead, he busied himself preparing tea for the three of them. "Next time, show some restraint," he chided quietly, glancing over his shoulder and shaking his head, though it was easy to tell from his voice that he wasn't truly annoyed. "Go on and sit down, Sasuke-kun."

"Sorry." he repeated. "I mean, I ate till I felt full.. like usual..." he scratched his head as he sat down, and then more joy. "It's okay though! Eventually we're gonna be back to how we're s'possed to, yeah? We just gotta wait it out."

"Hn," The noise was all she made as she just stared at a spot on the wall, still annoyed and not really feeling like socializing with anyone else at all while she was still in that state.

"Once you return to normal, I'm certain you have no problem going into the village and purchasing more, yes?" With so many Sasukes in this house, the dearth would likely be noticed quickly.

It's with no small amount of concern that he looked to the female Sasuke in the younger's body, and handed her a cup of tea first. "Please, have some," he murmured quietly before turning to set a similar cup down before the other.

"..." he glanced over to himself... then stared down at the tea. seeing an expression like that on his face just made him sad, and he knew it wasn't anything he could help with. He gave a light sigh. Keeping that smile was just hard...

"..this is boring... I want m'body back.." he muttered.

Although she didn't say it, the hum almost succeeded in expressing the same sentiment, gulping down her tea and not exactly caring about how it burned. Even though it was in fact very hot and almost prompted tears, if only because her younger self's heat tolerance wasn't fully realized yet.

Almost immediately he frowned at her, tapping a finger against the table. "Do not scald your throat, Sasuke. Please remember that he'll be the one left with it at the end of the day."

A sigh as he looked to the younger of the two, lips curving into another frown. "Perhaps you might try touching her again, Sasuke-kun?"

He reached out over the table and planted a hand upon his body's head. "Come ooon.. please work!" he whined.

She stared flatly at him as she felt nothing happening between them before sighing and bowing her head, "It's not working."

"Then it seems we must simply wait." Another sigh, and he settled himself into a chair near them, refilling Sasuke's teacup and giving her a rather warning look not to drink it in one gulp this time.

Now, he was just starting to get grumpy. His girl-self wasn't enthused about anything ever, and he couldn't even turn this situation around with his willpower. Fine then, he can be grumpy aaaaall he wants in her body if she's gonna be grumpy in his.

"This sucks" he stated, then proceeded to sip some tea.

"I'm going."

That time she didn't even wait for a response before she was on her feet, already heading towards the front door to collect her shoes again.

"Sasuke," his voice was soft as he looked to her, frown lessening. "Please don't. What will you do?"

Since he knew whatever he was going to say wasn't likely to have any weight, the other just went on sipping his tea.
Sheesh... grownups... They sure love to make everything so much more complicated than it is!

She didn't respond, instead going down the hall to her room before closing the door and just slipping into her bed, curling up under the covers.

"Sasuke..." Neji sighed through his nose and closed his eyes, shaking his head before looking to the younger one. A beat, then he reached to lightly touch his hand to the top of the younger boy's head.

"It's not you fault, Sasuke-kun... would you like to try to speak with her, or shall I?"

"...I tried b'fore... not like she's listenin t'me." he kept his gaze into the teacup. "...m'gonna stay here..."

A small expression of pain crossed his face at the sight of the younger boy in the girl's body so close to tears, but he could only sigh and incline his head as he pushed himself to his feet.

"Everything will be alright, Sasuke-kun," he reassured quietly, letting his hand rest atop the younger's head for another moment before giving the house a quick survey with his eyes to confirm where the older of the two Sasukes had disappeared. Within moments, he stood at her door, knocking twice and opening it without waiting for an answer, though he didn't answer.

"Sasuke...?"

She didn't answer verbally, curling up under the blanket more as she just tried to hide from view in an almost childish gesture, though she knew it wasn't actually hiding.

He didn't repeat her name, instead quietly letting himself in and moving with hesitant steps toward her bed, finally taking a seat at the corner without venturing to speak immediately again.

"... I hate this body..."

He laid a gentle hand atop where he knew her head to be, beneath the blanket. "Why?"

"It's the same..."

Again she shook her head, though she didn't try to jar Neji away, "It's male, but it's the same. It's weak, useless, unable to do anything... Like how I was..."

He closed his eyes and stayed silent for a moment after that, bowing his head.

"While I am certain it does not mean anything to you... I have never been disappointed by him, in the time I have spent teaching him."

"It doesn't matter how much you've taught him. He... He's still like I was. He wouldn't have been able to change anything back then."
