Lee watched his teammate in confusion. He was acting different. Neji seemed to be more cautious around Tenten. Like he was afraid to hurt her. He voiced his thoughts.
"Uh, Tenten, did something unyouthful happen to you?" She blinked at him.
"Why do you think that?"
"Well, Neji isn't...being as youthful," Tenten glanced at the Hyuga
"Uh...nothing's wrong Lee," she said unsurely. "Neji is acting pretty weird though.." He looked at the said boy strangely strangely. Neji refused to meet his gaze.
"WERE YOU DOING MOST UNYOUTHFUL THINGS?!" he yelled at Neji. Neji's brow twitched.
"No," the prodigy growled.
"AHAH! YOU USED YOUR MOST YOUTHFUL BYAKUGAN UNYOUTHFULY, CORRECT?!" he bellowed, with flames in his eyes.
"What?" This time Neji glared at Lee heatedly. "I did no such thing."
"Then why are you acting so unyouthful?"
"Because," Neji ground out. "I..."
"You...?"
Tenten watched amusedly. This was pretty funny.
Neji met Tenten's gaze and abruptly looked away. "Tenten, you have nobody courting you, correct?"
Courting...? Oh. He means..."Am I seeing anyone? Uh...Not at the moment."
Lee tilted his head and frowned. Realization slowly dawned. "See you later, youthful teammates! I MUST FIND OUR YOUTHFUL SENSEI!!"
Tenten followed Lee with her eyes and turned to look back at Neji. "Anyways...Um, why do you ask?"
"I...was hoping to..."
Tenten grinned. "Court me?"
"...Hai..."
She laughed. "Well...I don't know..." Neji's head whipped around to look at her.
"Is there someone you already like?"
"Mm..."
"...?"
"Okay, then."
"Okay...what?"
"Okay, I'll let you court me."
A smirk played on Neji's lips. Asking a girl out wasn't so hard. He didn't know what the Uchiha was talking about.
