10 Moments-Neji + 10 Moments-Tenten=20 Moments Nejiten.

Hyuuga Neji had never thought about girls. They just didn't fit into his master plan to ascend the ranks of shinobi. Oh, Neji knew he'd get married. He just wouldn't get married to a woman who understood his childhood, his life as a shinobi, or anything about him.

He'd get married to a woman who kept out of the lines of battle and waited at home with the children and a hot meal ready for him. He hoped she would be tolerable, but he didn't think about it too much.

He was a Genin who had bad experiences with girls. When he was ten, a fangirl hid in his bathtub with a camera ready to take a photo of him shirtless. When he was eleven, he spent Valentine's Day hiding from all the fangirls. Unfortunately, the fangirl experiences got even worse.

Neji despised girls. They were mostly focused on their romantic feelings for boys and were not suited for battle.

The day after Lee met Haruno Sakura, Neji was forced to re-evaluate his romantic feelings. He was walking back to the Hyuuga compound after training, and Lee just so happened to be walking beside him.

Neji wasn't really paying attention to anything Lee was saying because Lee was talking about Sakura and how pretty her hair was and how nice she was.

Neji would give responses like, "Hn," "I am sure Sakura-san will come around," and "Get off me! I am not giving you advice on how to get girls to notice you!"

Suddenly, Neji noticed that Lee was looking at him earnestly as if waiting for a response.

He didn't want to admit that he wasn't paying attention, so he simply pretended he hadn't heard him. "Pardon me?" Neji asked Lee.

"Is there a special girl you like?" Lee asked with curiousity.

Oh no. Neji was not getting into this. He definitely was not. He merely grunted and attempted to ignore Lee as Lee begged him to "spill" about his "most youthful crush."

He started walking more quickly, but unfortunately, Lee had no problems with the change in pace.

The Chuunin exams were coming up, and Neji did not want to talk about girls. He wanted to go home, meditate, and train some more on his own.

He did not need to talk to Lee about girls. On the other hand... If he didn't respond to Lee, Lee might bring it up during training and then Neji would have to deal with Gai-sensei pestering him too. Neji almost cringed.

As annoying as Neji thought Lee was, he also knew that Gai-sensei was much worse.

"No," Neji stated to Lee, hoping that Lee would shut up.

In fact, he did the opposite. "I'm sure you have liked at least one youthful blossom! At least one! Come on, Neji! Tell me!"

Annoyed, Neji voiced his thoughts. He informed Lee that girls were nuisances that bothered him and got in the way of his training. Lee seemed to contemplate this for a moment before bothering Neji some more. Neji was getting fed up with the whole situation.

Finally, Neji blurted out the name of the first kunoichi to come to mind.

"Tenten?" Lee asked as if not believing him.

"Tenten," Neji affirmed while nodding his head.

This seemed to shut Lee up. Lee stood there with his mouth open for several minutes, and Neji inwardly patted himself on the back for a job well done. He began to walk away, when Lee's voice stopped him in his tracks.

"I see why this complicates things," Lee said as he caught up to Neji.

"If you admit your youthful feelings to her and she does not feel the same, it would make working together on the same team awkward. If you admit your feelings and she returns them, you will need to learn to separate your relationship from your team. If you admit your feelings and she returns them, but you break up that would be even worse," Lee stated quietly for him.

Neji figured he must have shocked Lee out of his overenthustiastic and loud self for a little while. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. "Tenten doesn't like me," Neji stated, "She likes someone else."

Neji might've been Tenten's best friend, but Neji knew who Tenten had feelings for. His eyes, after all, saw everything.

He'd seen Tenten glance furtively at the green-clad shinobi and blush when Lee wasn't watching. He'd seen the way she tried to prevent the two of them from fighting out of fear that Lee would end up beaten to a bloody pulp.

For some reason, this made Neji angry and only ended with him beating Lee to even more of a bloody pulp. It was no use though. Discouraging Lee from fighting Neji only encouraged Lee even more.

Lee placed a hand on Neji's shoulder as if in comfort. "Lucky guy."

Neji almost couldn't believe that Lee was so dense that he hadn't figured out Tenten liked him.

"Tenten is really nice, strong, smart, and pretty. It is like you said about Sakura and me. She will come around. She's perfect for you."

After that, Lee walked towards his house which was a couple feet away. Neji almost felt bad about lying to Lee. The Hyuuga compound was still far, and Neji used the walk home to think. Lee wasn't lying.

Tenten was certainly nice. She always had the team's best interests at heart. She didn't have a lot of physical strength, stamina, or skill with genjutsu, but she was good at ninjutsu, great with weapons, and the fastest kunoichi in their age range. Her intelligence was high.

Yes, Tenten had always been pretty. She didn't feel the need to cake her face with makeup like his stupid fangirls. She didn't wear her hair down because it got in the way, but when she smiled-

Neji had enough self-control to stop the train of thought right then and there. Lee's words rang in his head. "She's perfect for you."

He'd been right after all. Tenten wasn't annoying or clingy. She also wasn't distant either. She was agreeable but not a pushover. Smart but not calculating or cunning. Neji wasn't lying when he told Lee he had a crush on Tenten.

He just hadn't realized it until now.
