Hair

"Tenten. Why do you wear your hair up?"

"What!? Neji, why do you ask me that all of a sudden? I mean, that's just really unlike you!"

"Are you afraid to tell me?"

"What!? No!"

"You are. You always avoid the question. When Lee asked when we first got our teams, you looked uncomfortable."

"No I didn't I just—"

"Yes you did. When he asked you again you strangled him."

"Well that was different! I—"

"You nearly killed him. When I first met you…. In the academy…"

"…."

"You had your hair long. The first time I met you I remember it was long."

"…."

"So why?"

"W-why do you care so much!?"

"Why won't you tell me? You're afraid. Of what?"

"Of what? Of…"

"Tenten; you can tell me anything."

"Oh… all right… To be honest Neji, I was…. I am… kind of… jealous."

"Jealous? Of what?"

"What do you mean "of what?"

"What are you jealous of? What does it have to do with your hair?"

"Neji, you're thicker than Lee sometimes you know that?"

"Don't put me on the level oh him. I am—"

"I mean your hair! I remember you sitting next to me in the academy. I remember how long and shiny it was. How soft it was when I reached for a paper and accidentally brushed against it. How mine was an ugly brown and dried up and had bend in it. I couldn't stand that a boy has better hair than me, so I started to put it up in these buns…. I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you. You must feel so awkward. I--"

"Tenten. Don't feel sorry. Your hair…. You…. You're so beautiful."


IMPORTANT: Okay, for those of you who have read my other fic, Cold Days, you'll see that the earlier chapters are a complete and utter mess. I'm considering going through a rewriting them completely, fixing all the errors and make it NOT look like a preschooler wrote it. If you think it's a good idea, say so in your review. Oh yes. please review.
