Okay, yeah, someone had to have seen this coming. An oneshot collection. (cause every author needs one) So, if I don't get 100 by December 25, 2008, I will do something…I'm not sure what though, but it'll suck.

Oh, how she admired him.

Yes, Tenten would keep admiring until the world ended. That's how it is.

In English, she was lucky enough to sit next to him.

We all know who I'm talking about anyway. Neji, who was blessed to sit next to Tenten, that's who, I'm talking about.

Snowflakes drifted peacefully outside, looking otherworldly in the blinding spring sunlight.

And suddenly a blaring siren wailed, proudly signaling "Get the hell out; fire!"

Tenten frowned. It was thirty-fucking-degrees ("Pardon my language…") outside, not warm enough for the school to condone a fire drill.

As the class lined up and left, the rest of the class started catching onto Tenten's theory.

"It's so damned freezing! Sakura muttered, rubbing her arms.

"Quick, Best Friend, it's time to share body heat!" Ino squealed. The two girls hugged.

Tenten frowned harder. This is how she gets targeted by the gods. Did that ONE Persephone (1) joke ruin my chances of having someone to hug? 'I'm sorry Dearest Per-…' Oh Lord, now she was cold, sad AND delusional.

Tenten glanced in Neji's general direction; he was refusing sharing any heat with Lee.



That one uber-girlish recess in Tenten's mind was running on information today.

Someone must have pressed the manual override in Tenten's brain, 'cause next minute she was next to Neji. Then she said, "Double Crap, it's so cold …I need something warm. Got coffee?"

Neji looked at the girl for a short while. "No, nor do I have any Java Monster to give you a buzz."

"How do you know I drink energy drinks?" Tenten whispered, looking scared.

"Oh, you just bring some to school every day, since fifth grade." Neji said, reciting the information like multiplication tables.

"You're good. What about the route I take home?" Tenten interrogated.

"You deliberately walk through our meadow." He replied, scoffing.

"Wow, you remember, you remember our godforsaken meadow. You must love me," Tenten said, surprised at first, but layered on the sarcasm.

Neji squinted.

"I mean after seventh grade I thought you forgot about Lee and I!" Tenten continued, starting to ramble. "So, I guess-…" Suddenly Neji pulled Tenten into a warm hug. Tenten couldn't help but inhale the scent of Neji's shirt. A heavy hibiscus and musk collaboration of some sort.

"The heck you do that for?!" Tenten breathed.

"Tenten, a kiss, is a lovely trick design by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. But since we're on school grounds…I decided to hug you so we aren't sent to detention…"

Tenten could ponder why he hugged her because that's affection too, but instead she-

-Kissed him.

"Freaking Ass! Look at Tenten and Neji!" Naruto screamed. Kurenai whipped her head around.

"Naruto! Detention! Tenten, Neji you two can join him after this alarm is over!" She cried.

Naruto whined to Kurenai ("What was I doing?") but Tenten was embarrassed and Neji was possibly livid, in love, and confused at the same time.

"Groan, curse, and whine all you want, but we are some kind of item." Tenten said.

"Oh, I've accepted it. I'm just trying to find a way to make Lee involved." Neji muttered.

"Bad idea, my man." Tenten warned. She worked on her math homework and sipped on her Jolt.

Naruto (all the way across the room) frowned and grumbled as he watched Neji say something and Tenten smiled. The two began making out.

"I hate love." Naruto rolled his eyes.

Greek goddess of love.

Yeah…I partly got this idea from being stuck outside with a thin shirt on at a fire drill. The rest was a chocolate induced crack fest… to be truthful…

Review…please! All who do will get some nice Loganberry juice!
