Edible
Tenten grins happily, bringing a huge tray of cookies with her to her team's training grounds.
"Neji!" She calls into the trees, knowing he is somewhere in the forest. "Come out come out wherever you are! I brought cookies! And no, your squirrel cannot have any Lee! They're for humans."
She punches her teammate, who has popped in front of her and shoved a squirrel in her face.
"But Tenten, Kiki loves cookies!" Lee looks at her with those puppy dogs eyes, and Tenten sighs. She can never resist those eyes.
"Here." She forks over three of her precious cookies and Lee dances off happily. "Neji, you can come out now."
He drops put of a tree, landing soundlessly next to her. "You brought cookies?" He looks surprised. At least, his eyebrows have moved a millionth of an inch upwards, and his head is tilted 0.0001 degrees to the right.
Tenten usually doesn't cook, preferring to order take-out, and the few times that she has tried the results have been... unappetizing, to say the least.
Neji does have to admit to himself, though, the cookies she shows him look pretty nice. They are heart-shaped and red, and have "Love" written in white frosting.
"Come on, Neji, taste them!" Tenten jumps up and down. "Do they taste good? I spent a lot of time baking."
He takes a bite cautiously. And promptly spits it out. "Did you...mistake the salt for sugar...?" He chokes out, desperately drinking some water.
"Oh, oops," Tenten grins, "those salt ones were meant for Lee. Here, try these." She hands him a cookie from a different pile. Surprisingly, it tastes really good, all soft and sugary. They spend the rest of the afternoon testing the cookies.
A/N: Ah, the old salt-mistaken-for-sugar cliche. With a twist :P
