A little something that just came to me, almost like a song. I got bored, sat down at my computer, and just typed. This is what it turned out to be. Review if you feel the need.

Title: Laughing Out Loud
Pairing: Neji x Tenten
Theme: Humorous love
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

"Yes."

Neji blinked. What was that? That word… that word he never thought he'd hear. Did… did she say yes? He placed his finger in his ear, and after moving it around a little, asked a different question.

"What?"

"I said yes. Yes, I do."

He couldn't believe it. It had been so easy! So why had he waited something like two years to ask her? Shaking the thoughts out of his head (and a bug off of his face), Neji gave that little thing he liked to call a sign of facial shrugging.

We normal people call it a smile.

Tenten shifted her gaze to Neji and raised an eyebrow.

"You look like an idiot. "

"Huh?"

"You look li-"

"I know what you said! What do you mean I look like an idiot?"

"Well, your mouth is in some dopy twisted grin, you're giggling to yourself, tapping your fingers… almost evilly, and… geez, I can't tell… are your eyes crossed?"

"Would you shut up already? I'm new to this, okay?" Neji crossed his arms and pouted, turning to the rail of the balcony the two stood on. Tenten rolled her eyes and leaned over the rail, her arms crossed. Since it was kind of a low rail, Neji noticed that Tenten was bending over to lean against it.

He swallowed.

Tenten heard the sudden gulp and glanced over her shoulder, only to find Neji's eyes stuck to a place that was lower than her head. Her eyes widened. As soon as they did, Neji's eyes darted back to the boiling face in front of him. Tenten snapped her body around, arms firmly at her sides and hands tightly held in fists. Neji giggled nervously and held his hands up in front of him.

"Now, now Tenten… don't look at me like that. You were obviously putting it there for me to view…"

"WHAT?!"

Neji's eyes grew with fear. Damn, he thought. That monthly shit that girls have… it really takes out their charm. Naruto failed to mention that part. He sighed and refrained from slapping his forehead, making a mental note reminding him to talk to the idiot later.

Tenten remained in front of Neji, but grew closer by inches. Neji looked around for a place to hide or something to perhaps throw at Tenten. He sweated like there was no tomorrow, and Tenten's face didn't change. If anything, it got worse.

Neji whimpered as he looked for an emergency exit while shouting in his head. How do the others avoid this kind of thing? Oh man, oh man… what am I gonna do?

His head suddenly snapped up at Tenten. That's it…

Just as Tenten raised her fist high enough to be face-level with Neji's head, the Hyuuga leaned forward and kissed her. Right then and there. Nothing long, nothing romantic. Just a little peck on the lips. Tenten blinked and stood up straight again.

What the hell was that?

Tenten put her hands on her hips, giving Neji the strangest look. Neji, happy and proud, beamed in her face, knowing he'd gotten himself out of the worst trouble a guy can get into. Tenten shook her head and shoved Neji back by his forehead. He gaped at her.

"Ow! Damn it, Tenten, what the hell was that for?"

"Retard…"

"What? I just kissed you and you call me a retard? What's your problem, huh?"

Tenten started laughing. Neji blinked once more.

"What the hell is so funny?"

"Nothing."

"Don't freaking lie to me, woman! What are you laughing at?"

Tenten kept laughing as she walked back into the room behind the balcony. Neji looked after her and soon trailed behind her, nagging into the back of her head with question after question. But the girl just kept laughing, like there was no problem, like Neji was the most moronic person in the universe.

"My word, woman will you answer me?"

"That was your first kiss, wasn't it?"

Neji blinked twice this time.

"What… what makes you say that, huh?"

"The look you had after you did it…"

"So what?"

"You've never kissed anyone before me, have you?"

"What would you do if I said yes?"

"Is that what you're saying?"

"NO!"

"What are you saying?"

"Um… so what if it was…"

"Ah ha! I knew it!"

"Shut up!"

"I was your first kiss, wasn't I? Wasn't I?"

"Okay! Yes, damn it! You were my first damn kiss! Why the hell does it matter?"

Tenten burst into laughter and fell to the ground. Neji just glared and crossed his arms. He still didn't understand what was so funny. Tenten saw the look on his face and took pity on him. She got up, brushed herself off, and gave Neji a playful look. Neji's eyes widened again. What did that mean…?

Tenten advanced on Neji and, without warning, locked her lips onto his. This time, it was much longer and much more romantic. Tenten actually started enjoying it, but Neji didn't know what the hell to do. He mimicked her motions, tilting his head and putting his arms around her. After a while, she broke the kiss and smiled. But after seeing the look on Neji's face, she giggled, trying not to laugh again. The look was the same look he had before… that goofy, loveable look. She smiled again and took his hand, snapping him out of his trance. They began walking down the road they stood on. Tenten suddenly looked to her side at Neji.

"What about you?"

"Hm?"

"The question you asked me. What about you?"

"Question…"

Tenten rolled her eyes.

"Do you love me?"

Neji stopped in his tracks. He never thought she would ask so soon. Quite frankly, he never thought he'd ever get this far. He had to plan out exactly how he was going to ask her that very question. He planned the tone, the timing, everything. But she asked it back… what was he supposed to say? He cleared his throat and put his hand on the back of his head.

"Um… yes?"

"Are you telling me or asking me?"

"A little bit of both…"

"Neji!"

"Okay, okay. Yes, I love you. Are you happy?"

Tenten nodded and took his hand again, dragging him down the road. Neji sighed with relief, looking at his watch. It's been a long day.

It was only ten in the morning.
