Author's Note: Almost all of these are AU, just to inform you. And I'll work with any and all pairings from yuri to yaoi to het. If you REVIEW with a request, I would love to write you a drabble. ShikaIno is my only one I might object to.

Neji growled and prodded the equation. "Tenten! We've been doing this same stuff for the past hour and a half. You should know how to do this!"

Since noon, the two had been pouring over their Algebra books. The test worth half their grade was coming up and Tenten was sure to fail. That was unless straight-A student Neji came to her rescue. And he was trying, but she just wasn't getting it.

"Well you don't know everything Neji. Just because you're smarter doesn't mean you can boss me around."

"I know much more then you."

"But…" Tenten hesitated, trying to find the right words. "You'll never understand certain things that I do."

"Like what?" Neji looked at her with an amused expression. "How to style my hair?"

"No!" Tenten glared at him and his idiotic sarcasm. Sometimes she really hated his condescending comments and snarky attitude. "Other things… like… feelings," she muttered.

He lost his smile and furled his brow in confusion. What did that mean? Feelings? Was she saying that he was an emotionless bastard? (Which he is.) There was an awkward silence between them as he tried to think of a good retort.

"Well… I don't need to know about feelings. I go by science and logic."

"Doesn't mean that you don't need them. Come on, let's take a break." The both stood. Tenten leading the way outside, Neji following, still confused as to what she was saying.

"Thanks for the help Neji. At least now I'll get a C, not a D."

He chuckled and opened the door for her. It had been hours since the 'feelings' mention, but it was still bothering him. What in the hell had all that meant?

Tenten had gathered up her things and was about to leave when she heard her name. He was standing by her side, looking down at her.

"I… um, I don't understand. For once. What were you saying to me earlier?"

"I—Never." She turned away from him and started out the door but someone grabbed her wrist. He tugged her back to him and shook his head.

"No, I need to know. It's just not possible for you to know more then me."

Tenten looked at him and paused, but she took a step closer to him. "I can't explain with words."

"Well then find a way. Draw a picture. Anything. I don't understand. Tenten pl—"

She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his cheek. Only seconds paused, but it felt like hours, until she pulled back away from him. Her face burned red, and she ran out of the house before he could say anything.

Neji stood speechless, watching her leave. As she vanished from sight, a hand rose to his cheek, fingers brushing over the spot her lips had been, still burning from the small action. It was one of the only occasions when he would blush.
