Summary: The night never seems to be long enough for him to be able to remember her.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and do not in any way, shape, or form profit from it. The ideas for the fan fiction however, are all my intellectual property.

A/N: I wrote this whilst listening to the instrumental of the end credits of The Mummy, my now, official favourite film. Yay! This isn't strictly NejiTen, it could apply to any couples within the fandom… but since Neji and Tenten are my OTP, then why not let it be about them? There doesn't seem to be an apparent universe to this. Here's a drabble to y'all!

She is in his dreams again. He could feel her lithe fingers across his skin, the warmth blanketing him from the night's cool breeze. The ghost of her smile is etching itself into his mind. He's beginning to wonder when he has seen it before, because he knows this so well. He knows this smile so well.

She's been here many times before; in the deepest, darkest recesses of his mind. And she's looking at him with the same expression from back then. Back from when? He wants to trace the beautiful curve of her lips to see if at all, she is real. If she'll stay. He wants to remember what it was that he has forgotten.

He raises his arm, wanting to feel her flesh next to his, but the morning is once again arriving too fast, too early.

At the blink of an eye, she is gone.
