Disclamer: I do not own Naruto. T'is a fact I accepted half a year ago, so you must bear it with me. XD
Summary: Hmm... your average Neji/Tenten fluff. I can't do summaries... and I can't decide on how to write the story. So whatever. Read on.
(Story starts Now.)
"Why don't you just let us help you?" she cried, grabbing on to his arm.
"I don't need anyone's help! Just leave me alone!"
Wrenching his arm away from Tenten's grip, Neji limped out of the hospital.

It's been a week since the incident at the hospital, and yet there is still no trace of Neji. Everyone reassured Tenten that he was okay. Afterall, he's capable of taking care of himself, isn't he? Well... yes. So stop worrying.
The phone rang, waking Tenten out of her thoughts.
"Hello, Tenten speaking. You've found him? High fever? Hospital? I'll be right over."

She opened the door to room 375 slowly. Tenten's gaze fell on the bundle of sheets on the middle of the bed. The unmoving body of Neji. Choking back the lump in her throat, she walked over and sat on the chair beside the hospital bed.
"Wake up, stupid boy. Wake up!" she whispered. And in Neji's room she stayed, for 3 days and nights.

On the dawn of the fourth day, Neji slipped out of his delirium. Looking over to his side, he caught sight of Tenten. Cradling her head on her arms, she had fallen asleep by the side of Neji's bed.
"Thanks for being there for me, Tenten."
She stirred at his voice.
"Neji?"
"How long have you been here?"
She smiled and got up, ready to leave.
"It doesn't matter, you're alright now."
"Don't tell me you stayed for so long, and now that I've woken up you leave." he snorted.
Tenten said softly, "I thought you didn't want anyone there for you."
"I was lying to myself. There, I said it. Happy? Now, please stay."

When the nurse came to check up on Neji an hour later, she found a girl cuddled up next to her patient, asleep. Neji, with his arm around Tenten's shoulders, had too fallen asleep.
The nurse smiled, and left the room.
..F.I.N..
This is my first fanfic ever... so I hope it wasn't too bad. Good grief, it's short. But it's all good, right? I'm sorry if I made Neji or Tenten too OOC, due to financial crisis, I was not able to rent anymore Naruto DVD's... urgh. Hope you enjoyed my short little story, have fun reviewing and flaming!
