[AN:] I'm about halfway done with the second chapter of Temporary Marks, so here's some NejiTen short I never finished till today in the meantime; 300 words, hopefully you all enjoy.


"Your hair is so gorgeous!"

Tenten loved gazing at Neji's long, beautiful chocolate locks right after a session of love-making. She couldn't resist the attraction possessed by the male's tresses.

Whenever he'd sit to the side of the bed, his hair loose and his eyes deep in thought, she'd go right to his back and began twiddling her fingers between his strands of hair.

Fitting, she always thought, for a male so pale and porcelain-like to have hair like a doll's.

Neji briefly turned to give her a confused, slightly irritated face, but Tenten just chuckled and continued, "It shines really entrancingly at night, you know."

Tenten slightly lifted her knees off the bed she was in, letting her bare breasts brush against his back. He really was handsome.

"It's just hair," Neji responded quietly, "and yet you seem to dwell into it so much—did you forget that you also have brown hair, Tenten?"

She chuckled before pulling him backwards and responding, "It's not the same as yours, though."

Neji reached for a strand of her let-down hair. "I beg to differ. The...color of yours is much more appealing, in my opinion."

"Aww, your compliments for me are so verbose in a way. It's kinda cute."

Neji just silently huffed, though the female noticed his small smile. To her surprise, he turned around and kissed her—

To no one's surprise, she kissed back and wrapped her hands around his back. After a few minutes, he stopped and moved upwards to say, "Yet, for you, a picture is beyond a thousand words. Your beauty isn't something that I could ever fully describe."

The brunette wasn't a sap for romance like Ino was, but her cheeks certainly were flushed deep red.

"Okay, now you're getting way too good with these compliments, Neji..."
