So I read "A Letter" by snowqueen184 the other day (go check it out, it's cute) and it really inspired me to write a nejiten one-shot based on a letter as well. That said, I have no intention of stealing her work, so mines completely different; I just wanted to give her the credit she deserves since she was technically my muse for the story (that sounds odd, muse, what an odd word…)

Oh, and DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto.

This sucks, I'm stuck in a stuffy hospital worrying about my teammates while they're out completing an awesome and dangerous mission. Life is so unfair.

Ugh, I should be there catching our meals with my amazing aim, cooking said meals, setting up traps around our camp, and using my excellent stealth skills to spy on the enemy (I swear by the hide-under-a-barrel method, it never fails me). Instead I'm recovering from a stupid allergic reaction to one of Shino's stupid beetles! Man do I hate those bugs!

Back to the mission, I wonder how my boys are handling it, especially Neji. This is the first time he has been on a mission with Gai-sensei and Lee without me to keep him sane. I wonder how he's holding up, poor thing.

"Tenten?"

"Hai Sakura?"

"I've got a letter for you."

"A letter? From who?"

"Don't know, some courier ninja just dropped it off, here."

"Thanks."

I waited until she was out of the room before I tore open the letter.

That's odd, it looks like Neji's handwriting.

Holy Shuriken! It IS Neji's handwriting!

Tenten,

I'm writing to you to tell you not to worry about us, we'll be fine. Also, I hope you feel better so

MY RIVAL NEJI IS CORRECT! TENTEN, THE YOUTHFUL FLOWER OF OUR TEAM, FIGHT THIS REACTION AND REGAIN YOUR YOUTH!

Lee, write your own letter.

WHY WASTE PAPER? TO DO SO WOULD BE UNYOUTHFUL! YOSH!

Stop stealing my letter! I'm trying to write to Tenten!

AHA! ARE YOU GOING TO FINALLY CONFESS YOUR FEELINGS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL FLOWER? THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH…

BYAKUGAN!

AHH! NOOO! NOT MY SPANDEX!

Sorry Tenten. As I was saying, feel better so you can come back to us, and especially me.

I need you.

YOSH! SUCH YOUTHFUL LOVE!

BYAKUGAN! 64 STRIKES!

NOOOOO! THE PAIN!!!

DON'T WORRY ABOUT US TENTEN! WHEN WE GET BACK, WE SHALL COMMENCE WITH A REUNION SUNRISE YOGA SESSION FOLLOWED BY 200 LAPS AROUND THE CITY! DON'T BE LATE!

Can't wait to see you again,

Neji

They may be crazy, but I love my boys.
