DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters, nor the song.

A/N: This was inspired by the song So Easy, by Philip Phillips. It is a sequel to my one shot, Piano Lessons, but can also stand on its own. This story goes to the five who reviewed the first chapter: oyane, Lili Bibi, Ami1010, ferbfletcherlover, and R5! Awesome, you are.

So Easy

Being the prodigy they all thought he was, Hyuga Neji found a lot of things easy. Training was easy, that was why he could easily defeat most of the other shinobi of his age group (aside from a certain blonde haired loud mouth). Learning was easy, that was why he graduated the top of his class. And attracting girls was easy, although he didn't really particularly ever ask for that.

A lot of things came easy to him.

Even escaping his uncle.

"Excuse me," he said, weaving his way through the sweaty and crowded streets of Konoha.

Today was an important Hyuga day. The whole clan was supposed to meet for a five hour training, meeting, and socializing. Pft. Socializing.

He was expected to be there. He was the young Hyuga genius, after all.

But some things—no, someone—he wouldn't ever miss to see.

Finally arriving to her house, Neji calmly placed his hands into his pocket and walked into the door.

Scents of frying fish and sweet cake greeted his nostrils as he stepped in. He smiled when he finally spotted her. She looked shrivelled, her brows furrowed in concentration as she used her spatula to turn a piece of frying tempura.

So beautiful.

He walked to her quietly, trying not to disturb the peaceful state she stood in. But she was too used to him; she turned and spotted him just as he was crossing over her living room. Her brown eyes practically lit up, and she grinned that grin he had always loved.

"Hey," he greeted, walking towards her.

"Why, hello there," she smiled, placing her hand on her hip.

"Smells good," he commented, finally standing next to her.

"It should. I spent hours working on this," she complained, pouting slightly.

He smiled.

"I'm glad you were able to come this early," she commented, turning back to her cooking.

"Yeah, well," he shrugged, before placing an arm around her waist. "You made it easy," he whispered, before kissing her softly on the cheek. "Happy Anniversary," he said, and she turned around to return his kiss, this time to the lips. Neji parted his lips, earning a moan from his girlfriend, and he pulled her even closer.

"Happy Anniversary," she breathed, when they parted. "Now go clean up the dishes," she instructed, pushing him away. "I need to focus on this," she laughed, turning another piece of tempura.

He grinned back, "Yes'm," he bowed, moving to give her some space. The piano he had bought her yesterday was already safely in her room, thanks to the help of a few friends. Maybe he would let her play it tonight.

Yes, a lot of things came easy to Neji Hyuga. Loving Tenten was at the top of the list.

Author's Note: I heard the song, and just started writing.

Yay! I'm so happy I was able to post another one before the end of April. Again, everybody, HAPPY NEJITEN MONTH! 3

P.S. I'm leaving for a two week vacay to the country. So no-no internet connection for me. Sigh. I'll be working on a multi chap fic I plan on posting, soon, though. So another yay for that. I hope you guys like it! And although I myself was dissatisfied with the kiss (I'm still working on those .) I hope you guys liked this one shot as well. :]

Critiques will be greeted with hugs.

All reviews will.

xoxo
