Like I'm gonna Lose You - Meghan Trainor ft John Legond
A/N: This song was written for them. *tear*
Tenten awoke abruptly from a deep sleep, tears streaming down her face. Shooting upright to a sitting position she felt the figure next to her move, relieved that it was all just a dream. Lying back down she rested her hand on his back, but she could still feel the stabbing pain in her heart as the dream slowly dissipated.
Slowly she closed her eyes and attempted to summon sleep again. Unfortunately once she closed her eyes, that ghastly scene came rolling back, in the middle of the battlefield she saw him fall. Snaking her arms around his chest she pulled herself closer to him, burying her face into his back reminding herself that he was still there.
Thoughts flooded into her mind, reminders that their time together was limited. That they were not promised tomorrow. For in the morning they would be setting out for war. Tonight was all they had, and she knew that, so she tightened the hold she had on him.
"Hn, Tenten." He said groggily, as her crushing hug pulled him from his sleep. "What time is it."
She shook her head, refusing to answer him. Time was inconsequential at the moment. All she knew was that the time they had was running out. So for what she had left, she was going to love him like she was losing him. She was going to hold him like they were saying good bye.
Grabbing her wrists he forced her to relax her hold and turned around to face her, enveloping her in his arms. Without saying a word he knew what she was thinking, as a part of him was thinking the same thing. There were no guarantees in war, in the blink of an eye, like a whisper of smoke, they could lose everything. So he pulled her close and planted his lips upon hers.
Tonight he was going to love her like he was going to lose her. Tonight he was not going to take her for granted. Tonight he was going to make the best of the time they had left.
"Neji," she whispered when they finally broke apart, her voice quivering, her heart still shaking from the thoughts of him disappearing from her arms.
"I know." He said softly, "Just remember that not matter what tomorrow brings, I will always be with you."
Soft whispers and stolen kisses, time stood still for them that night. They embraced each other with a fire and a passion, ever kiss, every touch, every word, resonated with the love they had. They left nothing to chance, knowing that tomorrow was not promised.
The morning light signaled the end of their time. Today was the day, their time was up. The minutes were gone, and all they were left with was one last, lingering kiss. With heavy hearts they parted, and as she met with her unit, she could not help but feel an uneasy sense of foreboding.
