Pairing: NejiXTenten
January Love
Snowflakes drifting down
My resolution is set
I only want you
"It's snowing," a brunette stated happily, watching the snowflakes fall and melt on her palms. The boy was leaning against a tree, quiet as usual. He smiled, watching her cheerful reaction to the powdery wonder that was snow. His jet black hair began to stand out against the white background. His milky white eyes and pale skin melted into the surroundings.
The Hyuuga couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful she looked right now. The cold turned her cheeks a shade of light pink. Her long coffee colored locks were tied in two braids. When the snow hit her hair, it melted into little crystal droplets that shimmered like diamonds. Her lips were curved upwards, creating the most stunning smile he could ever imagine.
"Neji, come on, it doesn't snow everyday!" she exclaimed, her chestnut colored eyes glimmering. The girl pulled his hands, leading him out from under the evergreen tree's pine needles. Spinning around, she giggled. Neji was quite taken aback, stumbling clumsily. The boy couldn't help but smile warmly at her happiness. The boy slipped, fingers still laced with hers. The two ended up on the floor, Tenten on top of Neji.
She blushed furiously, hearing his heartbeat. "I'm so sorry," the kunoichi whispered, embarrassed and scared. Would he be angry at her for doing something so foolish? Or would he simply walk away, leaving her all alone at the training grounds? Her eyes widened when she heard his quiet laughter. Standing up, the girl stared at her friend.
"What's so funny?" she questioned, slightly confused.
"Nothing," he replied, a smirk decorating his usually emotionless face.
"What's with that smirk?" Tenten asked, biting her lip. 'He's so handsome.' The girl shook her head violently. "Did I seriously just think that?" she whispered under her breath.
"Think what?" Neji inquired, raising an eyebrow, still smirking at her.
"Nothing," she snapped, "I just…uhh…it's nothing really." Looking down at her feet, she felt her whole body heat up. He chuckled at how flustered she was all of a sudden.
"Did you think something about, I don't know, me?" he teased, lifting her chin up with a finger. The girl could hear his breath in her ear, causing her stomach to flip.
"No," the brunette replied quickly, backing away from him. Her mitten fell of her hand. Reaching for the red, woolen glove, her bare hand was met by his.
"Oh yes you did," the devious boy taunted.
"I did not," she told him, snatching her glove from the floor. The girl with chocolate colored hair turned around and felt his arms around her waist.
"Don't lie to me," Neji whispered in her ear, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Alright I did," Tenten sighed, her whole body stiffening when she felt his lips brush her neck. Practically melting, she sealed her eyes, smiling.
"Thought so," the boy with ebony hair replied, satisfied with the response, "Let's go inside. I'm getting cold."
Sitting by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, Tenten was content, wrapped in a fluffy blanket. Sipping the chocolate beverage, she watched the boy next to her doze off on the rug. Deciding to join him for a short rest, the almond eyed girl yawned, placing her drink on a table. It was almost twelve o' clock. Their parents weren't around, they were alone.
Lying down next to the boy, the brunette took out her braids. He sensed her presence and opened one eye. "I think my heart stopped beating," he whispered.
"What are you talking about?" she questioned, giggling slightly.
"I'm serious," the boy stated, rather convincingly, "Come here and listen." Tenten, slightly concerned, placed her head upon his chest to listen for a heartbeat. His arms slipped around her waist, pulling her closer to him. The startled girl gave out a gasp of surprise. "Never mind," he laughed, "It's beating."
"You know what?" the hazel eyed Tenten told him, "You're being an idiot."
"So you like idiots?" Neji asked, running his fingers through her silky hair.
"What?" she asked, closing her eyes.
"You heard me, beautiful. Seems like you've fallen in love with an idiot," the pale boy said, groggily. Tenten remained silent, determined to find some way to shatter his cool. Still, she couldn't concentrate, all she could feel was the pounding of her heart in her chest.
Quickly, she pinned the boy's arms and legs to the ground with her body, positioning herself on top of his body. "You're right," the girl whispered, kissing his lips. The shocked boy widened his eyes before sealing them, kissing her back. Breathless, the two broke away, Tenten once again blushing madly.
"Well done," Neji laughed, feeling the girl on top of him place her head on his chest.
"Oh shut up," Tenten whispered, drifting off into a light sleep. The two of them held each other, dreaming of one another.
