Alright a new story from me!!! I like to thank my editor: Dunni!! Thz for ur help!
I gave up on my first story so I hope this makes up more than enough!
Review to keep the flame burning in my youth!! YOSH!!
-Tenten's Pov-
I dragged my feet while walking through the streets of my beloved village, glaring at a few people who stared questionably at me. I wasn't tired or anything, I was just…mad. I'm mad at myself for dreaming! Not that dreaming was a bad thing; in fact I looked forward to getting my dreams every night. The problem is what my dreams were about.
I use to love having dreams of my only sane, hot, and darn sexy teammate confessing his love to me or vice versa. Don't get me wrong I still love having those dreams, but after the 39th time you have this dream you realize something. You realize that you have an obsession with your crush. Should I still even call it a crush? As far as I know it was much more than a simple liking.
Either way I do not like having a mania with my best friend. What if he found out? I could already hear what he would say; 'You're worst than my fangirls. Get out of my sight; I have lost all my respect for you.' A little dramatic, but hey, it took a lot of sweat and blood to earn Neji's respect! That's no joke.
As I neared the field for which I was about to train at (a.k.a: Training grounds) I started walking correctly and fixed my angry face. If I show up at the training grounds without 'youth' Lee and Gai-sensei would question me.
"Morning!" my voice came out smoother than I had expected it to.
"Morning, my youthful comrade!!" guess who that is.
"Hn." I could see Neji getting up from meditation. His long, dark brown hair swayed as he crossed the field with graceful steps. Only he could do that without looking too feminine.
Minutes later, we went on to our normal routine; Lee went to go somewhere to run laps with Gai-sensei, and Neji and I stayed to spar.
----- 4 hours later -----
"Neji, I think we should take a lunch break now…" my voice was hoarse. My throat dried as the result of the 5 hour training session.
"Hn." He relaxed his fighting position.
Using all the strength left in me, I went over to bag to get my bento. It felt like my whole body was being dragged down by heavy chains making everyone of my aching muscles scream in protest. "……." Damn it! I forgot my lunch! How could I forget lunch, it was the only thing that revives me after sparring!!
I stared intensely into my bag as if food would magically appear in front of me. A gurgling sound reached my ears a few seconds later. My head looked around to see wear that sound was coming from. The sound came out again. Where is that coming from? Looking down at my stomach I realized that was me making that weird sound.
Neji made a coughing noise. Crap. Did he hear that?
"Tenten." My head turned to his direction. My heart sped up. This happened every time he called my name. Every time he touched me (which was rare, unless we were training). Every time he did anything around me. I inwardly sighed. I hated myself for loving him so much.
He was looking at me with his usual blank face. "Tenten…" My heart sprinted. "You forgot you're lunch." It was not said as a question, but a statement. Shit. He did know. How embarrassing.
He close he his eyes. Was he mad at me? Was he annoyed? My eyes dropped down to the ground out of shame.
I heard him get up. "Hn. I don't have lunch either."He didn't have his lunch? Something's up. Neji was always prepared. He never forgets things, ever.
I sadden has he walk away with his bag. It surprised me when he called out, "Are you coming?"
My body moved on its own to his calling. In half a second I had my bag and was walking right beside him.
"Where are we going?" I asked that, but I couldn't careless where he was taking me as long as I was there. Wait. I can't believe I just thought that! That was soooo corny!
"Eating." He didn't look at me. In fact he hasn't made eye contact with me for awhile now.
We ended up eating at the barbeque place Asuma sensei always brings his team to. I ate slowly, trying hard not to stuff my mouth in front of Neji. My eyes shifted to his plate. He was already eating.
I tried focusing on my food more, so I wouldn't be tempted to stare at him. I fail. I took a quick glance at his face. He was staring at me. His mouth was open slightly as he was ready to say something. He couldn't be. Maybe he just thinks I have no table manners. Yeah, that's it. I mean he's been keeping his distance from me for a few weeks now. Why in the seven hells would he want talk to me now?
I noticed I stopped eating. I looked up at him. His eyes were so beautiful. I couldn't remember how to blink.
I dropped my gaze cowardly as he opened his mouth to speak. I knew what he was going to say. He was going to point out something I did wrong, or something I didn't do well enough, or anything that explains his sudden distance from me. His sudden silence. His sudden…
"I'm sorry" I truly was sorry. I hate seeing him unhappy with me, unhappy with anything. I knew those two little words couldn't do anything, but then again, I've never done anything useful for him.
