Asking for Love, the Hyuuga Way.
Alright, I know I still haven't finished my other fic yet but I just couldn't get this out of my head so I thought I get this done with. Yes, its another NejixTenten fic, can't blame me, I just love these two. As always, be prepared for OOC. Just like the last time, I still don't own Naruto…Alright, on with the story!
"Tenten…" he asked, his voice a little shaky.
She blinks at him. Wow… was Neji nervous? His eyebrows are twitching and he was playing with his hands more then Hinata would do to Naruto. "Yes Neji?"
She could have sworn she just seen him swallow.
"I was wondering if I could ask you a question?"
She frowned at him. Who is this guy? Neji do not ask for permission to ask questions. Cautious, she silently warns herself. Something is up. "Yes."
"Well, I was wondering that…um…since…um…"
He was stuttering. Neji do not stutter. Hinata stutters…but never Neji. What is going on here? Go with the flow, her inner self caution again. "Yes?"
"That is…um…I was wondering that since you…um…"
Was that sweat drops on his forehead? She wondered.
"Since you…um…" he tried again.
"You were wondering that since I'm what?" she add for him.
"Since you have no money-" her frowned deepen. Things were not going as he planned. "That is, I talked to your landlord last week and he said that you have been neglecting your rent so I-"
"You were snooping behind my back?"
"No!" he quickly deny.
"Then what do you call it, Hyuuga Neji?"
"Hinata's father has been beating his lecture about heir down my throat these last few days," he blurt out, "and I can no longer ignore his endless chattering-"
"What does that have to do with me?" she eyed him suspiciously.
There it was again, she noted. That nervous twitching of his hands, perhaps it was heritable?
Things were differently not going as he planned. "I need a heir. I was thinking that since you are in need of money that perhaps I could pay you-"
"Hyuuga Neji!!!" she screamed. "I don't know what kind of woman you think I am behind that thick skull of yours but I'm only going to say this once and I want to make it perfectly clear. I AM NOT FOR SALE!!!"
Later that day...
Shaking her head at a dumbfound Neji, Hinata says, "I told you to leave the money part out."
"But what was I suppose to bribe her with?" he asked confused. "Me?"
"You'd be surprise at how smoothly it would have went had you done just that," Hinata said with a nod.
"What?!" Neji exclaimed in shock. "Tenten is not that perverted."
"Neji, what exactly are you thinking?" Now, it was Hinata who was eyeing him suspiciously, "I wasn't even referring to that."
You must be wondering where this piece come from and well…I don't have an excuse. As always, please R&R! thanks!
