Bad news
Shikamaru rubbed his eyes and blinked at the clock. It was about time to get up anyway, he reasoned, as the knock on the door came again. He carefully extracted himself from the jumble of limbs and pulled on some sleep pants. They were 3 sizes too large, so they must be Chouji's. He sighed and knotted the string tightly as he shuffled out to peer through the spyhole. Iruka stood there, scuffing his feet and looking around in curiosity. He started as the door swung open to reveal Shikamaru, dressed in huge sleep pants and still rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"What brings you to our home, Iruka? More importantly, HOW did you find our home?" Iruka flushed and rubbed the back of his head.
"I, err, I bribed Lady Tsunade to tell me. Can I come in? It's kind of important." Shikamaru stepped back and gestured toward the living room. Iruka seated himself on a cushy armchair. "Umm, do you think you could wake Neji as well? He needs to know as soon as possible." Shikamaru nodded and went down the dark hallway and into a doorway. Iruka looked around the room, noting the subtle clues that the house was inhabited by 3 gay men and grinned.
In the bedroom, Shikamaru looked at the touching scene on the bed. Neji had snuggled up to Chouji, and the pair had their arms wrapped around each other. He was loathe to wake either of them, but he had little choice. He knelt close to Neji.
"Neji, wake up. Iruka is here and he needs to talk to you. No, Chouji, you stay sleeping." He kissed Chouji on the forehead and the larger man smiled and grabbed a pillow to fill the void Neji had left in his arms. Shikamaru helped Neji into a pair of jeans and shrugged when the half asleep man stumbled out the door with no shirt on. He led Neji to the couch and went to the kitchen. In a few minutes he came back in and wordlessly handed mugs of hot coffee to Iruka and Neji, keeping one for himself. Neji seemed to come alive at the scent of the coffee, and in a minute he looked quite awake.
"Alright Iruka, what's so important that you had to wake me up early?" Iruka paused, gathering his thoughts.
"Lee's in the hospital. Psychiatric ward." Neji's face froze and he just blinked as Iruka recounted the events of the last few days. At the end He just sat there, numb, and Shikamaru took his coffee and put his arm around him.
"Thank you, Iruka. I'll take it from here. Neji needs some time." Iruka nodded and let himself out the door. Shikamaru waited until he heard the door shut and coaxed Neji to his feet and led him to one of the extra bedrooms. Neji was scaring him. If he didn't speak soon Shikamaru feared he would have to call in outside help. Neji shook himself out if his daze, startling Shikamaru.
"I knew it was only a matter of time. We all knew he was prone to self injury, it was obvious after TenTen broke up with him. I thought that since he was already involved with Gai, he wouldn't take it so hard. It must have been Gai leaving so soon after that triggered it. It's not my fault. I know that, I have to know that. But somehow I can't help but to feel horrid." He turned and buried his face in Shikamaru's shoulder, then pulled him down onto the bed with him. They lay there for a long time, Shikamaru stroking Neji's back as sobbing sounds filled the air.

I know it's short but at least it's something. Let me know what you think. :D
