As none of you probably know, I have an Instagram account dedicated to NejiTen and sometimes I write short stories to go with the pictures I upload. I've decided to put them up here as well, sans the pictures of course, so you guys don't miss out on them. They're just small, cute little stories and I must say I do enjoy writing them. There isn't enough NejiTen love around.
I hope you enjoy the first drabble. :D
"Move out of the way Neji or I swear I'll hit you." Tenten seethed, glaring at the Hyuga prodigy as she gripped the front of his shirt tightly.
"I am not letting that peasant lay a finger on Hinata-Sama." Neji replied menacingly, glowering back at the brunette.
Tenten's glare heightened and she slapped Neji across the face. "Peasant? PEASANT?" The weapons mistress yelled. "Is that how you see our relationship then Mr. High and Mighty?"
Neji let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing his aching cheek. "I didn't say that."
"But it must be true! You Hyuga's think you're so high above everyone else, the rest of us must look like fleas to you!"
Naruto tugged on Tenten's sleeve to get her attention, uncomfortable with how the scene was unfolding. "Maybe we should go Tenten. I don't want you and Neji to fight." He winced when she turned her glare onto him.
"It's too late for that!" Tenten turned back to her soon to be ex-boyfriend. "At least now I know what you think of me Neji. We are so done." With that, the weapons mistress grabbed hold of Naruto's arm and stomped away, angry tears threatening to spill down her sun-tanned face.
"I-I'm sorry Neji-Niisan." Hinata apologized in her quiet voice behind Neji.
Neji wasn't listening though. He was too shocked to do anything. Did his Tenten just break up with him? "That idiot." Neji growled, snapping out of his shock.
"W-What are you g-going to do Neji-Niiisan?" The young heiress asked timidly. She felt bad for being thankful that Neji was too distracted at that moment to yell at her for sneaking out and meeting up with Naruto last night. That was the reason the two of them were arguing in the first place. Tenten had known Neji wouldn't approve of the match and had rushed down to take the blonde's side.
The Hyuga prodigy glanced at his younger cousin, suddenly determined in what he needed to do.
"Found you." Neji stood behind the still-angry kunoichi doing target practise on what seemed like... "Is that... a picture of me?" He questioned, eyebrow quirked in alarm. Sure he could easily take her on if she chose to switch from Paper Neji to Real Life Neji, but an angry woman was a dangerous woman and he didn't know what sneaky tricks she would have up her sleeve.
"I'm busy. What do you want Neji?" Tenten replied, not once slowing down in her training.
Throw. Thunk.
Throw. Thunk.
Throw. Thunk.
Each shot hit with perfect precision.
Forehead.
Heart.
Groin.
The weapons mistress smirked in satisfaction and the Hyuga prodigy gulped, moving a hand down to protect his prized possession. "I came to apologize." He replied, moving cautiously towards the brunette.
Tenten scoffed, finally turning around to face her ex, arms folded. "What, you've come to apologize to a mere mortal? Oh how you must have fallen."
Neji growled at his girlfriend (he refused to believe she had broken up with him). "Don't be stupid Tenten. That's not what I meant and you know it."
"Wasn't it? You've always thought that Naruto was beneath you so why wouldn't it be the same for me too?" She replied, an eyebrow cocked.
"I do not think Naruto is beneath me. I haven't for a long time. But Hinata-Sama is the heiress of the Hyuga clan and Naruto is just... Naruto."
Tenten glared, not at all happy with his answer. "You know better than anyone how hard working and loyal Naruto is. He'd be an amazing partner for Hinata." She said angrily. "How dare you stand between their love! If that's how you think, I don't see why you bothered with me for these past two years."
"I told you it's not the same with us!" Neji shouted for the first time, fed up with her stubbornness. "I'm only from the branch clan of the Hyuga, I'm not important."
"The hell you're not!" Tenten growled, angry for a different reason now. "Don't you ever say you're not important. You're Neji flipping Hyuga! Don't you remember? To you, someone like me is a pebble underneath your shoe - practically nothing."
Neji snarled and grabbed Tenten by the shoulders roughly, glaring at her. "You know that's not true!" He closed his eyes and took a calming breath, building up the courage (because even though he was a brave ninja, when it came to women-especially this woman-he tended to freak out) to say his next words properly.
"Hinata may be the Hyuga's heiress but you are MY heiress. You are so far above me that I sometimes feel like I'll never reach you. You are an amazing kunoichi Tenten and I would lay down my life for you." Neji finished his confession, his face flushed a deep shade of crimson. When did I become such a pansy? he wondered.
Tenten had her hands held to her mouth, hiding the gasp that had escaped her lips. Her eyes filled with tears and she grinned at the blushing Hyuga. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you. I love you, you know?"
Neji smiled, nodding his head. "I know. I love you too." He pulled her close and kissed her hard on the mouth, his hands wrapping around her slender waist to bring her even closer.
Tenten grinned when they pulled away, resting her forehead against his. "Since I'm your heiress, does that mean you'll go easy on me in our next training session? You work me so hard I feel like I'm going to die sometimes."
The Hyuga prodigy smirked, planting a loving kiss on the tip of her nose. "Not a chance. I don't go easy on anyone. Besides," he added, pulling her in for another kiss, his smirk widening against her mouth. "I'll make you feel more than alive afterwards."
This drabble is longer than most of them because it was in two parts with two different pictures. My next drabble will probably be a lot smaller.
And yes, I know Neji seemed a little OOC at the end but it was cute and he'd so do that! Maybe... Well, in my dreams he would. XD
Rates & Reviews are loved. If I know people like them then I'll post my next one up soon. :)
