I am a serious NejixTenten fangirl. I may switch who I pair for the other Naruto girls, but Tenten will always go with Neji for me and vice versa. I get a lot of ideas for these two, but rarely do I write them because I don't have time and I don't want to spam people with drabble-oneshots, so I'm dumping all the drabble oneshots here. Tell me what you think, and NejixTenten FTW!

Inspired by my friend who got sunburned this summer who I then drew that sexeh picture of. LOL. Love you, Natasha! Back to Oedipus Rex.

Neji hated going to the beach. He didn't like it for many reasons: it smelled like rotting fish, it was hot, the sand dried out his skin, and to quote what he told Tenten, "he didn't tan, he burned."
However, she disregarded his words for him just being his usual pessimistic self and dragged him (unwillingly) to the beach for their vacation time. Granted, the beach was a luxury seeing how they lived in the middle of the continent, but still, did Tenten have to look so happy about going to the beach when he was going to be as red as a lobster?
"You have a sick sense of humor, Tenten," Neji told her as he sat on the sandy beach from under the cover of a beach umbrella. He stared distastefully at the item. He'd have to shift constantly to evade the rays of the sun.
Tenten merely smiled as she basked in the sun's rays. Curse her and her ability to tan. "Oh, don't look so grim, Neji. It's a vacation! Enjoy it!"
"I'd rather enjoy it away from a place that doesn't magnify the intensity of the sun's rays. You know how easily I get sunburned," he replied peevishly.
Tenten merely rolled her eyes. "Well, if it gets to that, then we'll just rub aloe on you. I'll even do it for you. Cross my heart."
Neji rolled his eyes at her juvenile promise, but the seventeen-yr-old nodded anyway. After all, he was already there. No use in trying to escape when it'd take three days to get back home.
Looking up, he was about to ask her about the dress she was wearing. He was only in a pair of swim trunks and under the shade of an umbrella and he was baking; he doubted the billowing fabric of that pink dress was doing her any favors. However, before the words could even leave his mouth, she pulled the dress over her head to reveal the green and orange-polka-dotted bikini underneath.
Dropping the dress on Neji's beach blanket, she smiled at him. "I'm going to go in the water. Be back later!"
And watching her run down the beach in nothing but a (very, very nice) bikini, Neji watched her enter the water before hastily kicking away the umbrella to slant away from him (now suddenly thankful this was a private beach and no one could see his foolish behavior) and splayed himself out in the sun to get burned.
Eyes shut to the sun, he grimaced as he felt the sun's adverse effects already working on his soon-to-be-formerly-pale skin. Briefly wondering why he was doing this again, the image of Tenten in her swimsuit flickered before his mind. He frowned as he felt his skin begin to tighten.
'She better keep that promise.'
