A/N: Just a shmucked up idea, like normal!:D Enjoy?
Chapter 1: Teammate
Neji sighed irritably while Tenten flicked rice off her chopsticks. She rested her chin on her hand and continued playing with her rice bowl. She tapped it side to side against the bowl, flicking rice onto the table and around the floor.
"Tenten. Stop doing that." Neji sighed, tiredly, before standing up and pushing his chair in. He walked over to their double bed and sat down, grumpily.
"Lighten up, Neji," she sang cheerfully. She lifted the plate of wasabi and dumped it into her bowl before stirring it furiously. The strong smell of wasabi rose and she wrinkled her nose cutely at the smell.
"I've lightened up already. Stop playing with your food." He cradled his head in his hands as Tenten sniffed her rice bowl again. She stole Neji's tempura spoon and filled it with her wasabi concoction, stuffing it in her mouth and chewing intently at it.
"Not bad," she commented.
"What's up your ass, Neji?", she said, smiling at his curled up form on their bed. He peered up at her, one lavender eye furious and open.
"Shut up. I've got a headache." He looked back down and rested his head between his knees, as Tenten finished the last of her wasabi-infused rice.
"Need me to look at it?", Tenten offered, sitting up and pushing the tiny chair in. Their room was tiny and musty, with a small table and two chairs in the corner, plus a double bed; hardly enough for two irritable shinobi that were polar opposites.
Neji shook his head.
"Who knows? You could make it worse."
Tenten snorted.
"Fine, but if you turn out having a tumor, I'm not driving you to the fuckin' hospital," she laughed easily. He looked up then, lay spread out on the bed.
"Language," he muttered, using his hands to clutch at his forehead, as he closed his eyes.
She crawled onto their bed and hovered above him, her expression worried. He opened one eye lazily.
"What in the world are you doing?", he murmured, as she looked at him intently, her hair hanging down.
For once, Tenten's hair wasn't curled into those tight buns, an to be honest, Neji preferred them loose like now. They were a milk chocolate color, wavy and beautiful; never straight or the same any day, just like the wind.
"Helping you," she said simply, sitting up and resting her hand on his forehead, taking off his bandages. The light green mark on his forehead was cold and still, so it ruled out a Main branch member doing anything to Neji.
It was rare to see Neji's bare forehead, since he always hid it away with bandages and his forehead protector, and he only showed it to people he trusted.
"You going to heal it?". He raised an eyebrow at her. She snorted.
"Who do you think I am? I'm not Sakura," she said. Neji smiled as he closed his eyes.
"Panadol should do the trick." Neji's eyes snapped open.
"W-What?", he demanded.
Tenten laughed at his expression and patted him on the head.
"That's what my mum said every time I had a headache."
"Maybe that's why you're so crazy," he muttered, clutching his forehead and wondering what had possessed him to team up with this fiery vixen, of all people.
"Ah, but that's the trick. If people think you're crazy; you're not an enemy! Would you look at that." She reached for her cup of soy milk and sucked ravenously on the blue straw. Even Neji had to admit it was incredibly cute, especially with her big brown doe eyes.
"There's no logic in that at all," stated Neji.
"Logic shmogic." Tenten waved it off and put down her cup.
"I'm going to sleep," Neji groaned.
"Oh em gee, me too! What a co-inky-dink," she laughed and crawled into bed next to him.
"Shut up."
"Nuh!"
"Really."
"Not by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!"
"Really?"
"YES!"
"Turn off the lights, Tenten."
"Sure."
"Now go to sleep, Tenten."
"Like I'd listen to you, granny pants!"
"...Granny pants? Really?"
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Hey Neji?"
"Yes, Tenten?"
"WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA-"
"Not this again, Tenten."
"-SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!"
"Goodnight, Tenten."
"Night, Neji-kuuuun!"
"Shut up, Tenten."
"Aw, so mean."
"Yes, Tenten. I'm mean."
"Hehe."
"Now go to sleep."
