Out here in the quiet of the night

Beneath the stars,

And moon

I sighed and lay down beside Neji at the top of that huge hill. The stars were twinkling above us. Tenten and Lee were both there, too. All of Team Gai was there, except Gai-sensei…

We both know we've got something on our minds

We won't admit

But it's true

I knew how much I loved him, and it was killing me not to say it! I wanted to, but I couldn't do it! Not with Tenten and Lee there too! Tenten would kill me!!

You look at me,

I look away

I cast a worried glance at the brown-haired Hyuuga boy beside me. He looked over at me. I quickly turned my gaze back to the stars, a scarlet blush finding its way over my cheeks.

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you

But now I'm afraid

That you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy

Ever be so hard to do?

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling

And to say that

I love you

I practice all the things that I can say

Line by line

Every word

'I can just say it! Or I can start talking randomly about how pretty the stars are and it'll just slip! "I love you" How hard is that?! '

I tell myself

'Today could be the day'

But every time I lose my nerve

"Neji, I…"

"Yeah?" he asked.

I felt myself blushing again. "Nothing! Just…Nothing."

I look at You

You look away

I looked at him hopefully, but he had already turned back to the stars. My heart sank and disappointment filled my being. I just couldn't do it!

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you

But now I'm afraid

That you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy

Ever be so hard to do?

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling

And to say that

I love you

Why?

Why'd you turn away?

'Why did he look away? Does he really hate me?'

It must be

You're afraid like me

'Maybe he likes me too! Maybe he wants to tell me, but he doesn't know how!'

I try

I try

'I've really tried! Several times, actually!! I really wish I could stop liking him, and like someone else!'

But I can't pretend that I

Don't feel for you

The way I do

'But I really do love him! I can't say that I don't!'

Can't you see?

I glanced over at him again. 'That guy is so dense! Can't he take a hint!? It's just SO obvious!'

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you

But now I'm afraid

That you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy

Ever be so hard to do?

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling and to say that

"I love you," I whispered. He was long past sleeping. So were Tenten and Lee. "I guess nobody heard me, then." I sighed and decided to try to sleep.

(From a treetop)

Sakura gasped. "Did you guys hear that!?"

"Hear what?" Sasuke asked, annoyance in his tone.

"She said that she loves him!"

"Seriously!?" Naruto gasped.

"Yeah! Isn't it awesome?" Sakura exclaimed.

"Yeah! Now I we can only find a way to tell Neji that Nezumi likes him…"

This was made after an awe-inspiring "Whoa" moment. I was listening to Misty's Song and, I swear, a lightbulb clicked in my head! Nezumi is a girl in my Naruto fanfic that will never be posted. She totally loves Neji, but she can't decide how to tell him. The song fits perfectly, ne? This is actually one of my favorite songs, so I was totally excited that I used it or my first ever songfic!! And for Naruto, too! There's a mysterious demon at work here. -looks over shoulder suspiciously-
