Pairing: NejiXSakura
Prompt: Secret
The day Neji was told that he was to be the next head of the Hyuuga family, was the worst day of his life, because it was the day he was told that he would marry a woman of the elders choosing. His uncle had given him a sympathetic pat on the back and left the room. That night he had gone to his girlfriend of two year's house and told her the news. Sakura had been silent for a few minutes before simply moving into his arms. They feel asleep that way and in the morning he left. He didn't see her again for several months; then again he supposed that had been their silent agreement that night. What was even stranger was that no one from their group would talk about her perhaps that had been a group agreement. He tried not to think about it.
When he met his new bride, Hanako, he couldn't help but compare her to Sakura. She was a Hyuuga and a member of the main branch and everything the elders expected of the next matriarch. He spent some time with the woman and while she was pleasant enough he didn't love her. It would be during one of their regularly scheduled "dates" that he would tell her about Sakura and she would tell him about the civilian she was in love with. They would continue with their conversations, though they would make no move towards starting a relationship.
The day of the wedding, Neji stood waiting for his bride and as he watched her walk towards him he realized several things; that neither he nor she would be happy in this marriage, that he loved Sakura, and that being clan head didn't matter if he didn't have her. When she reached him he gave her a look and she understood and with a nod they disappeared; her towards her civilian and him towards Sakura.
He landed at her apartment and knocked on the door. She answered the door and without waiting he pulled her into his arms. He also immediately noticed that her stomach was not letting her get as close as usual. Taking a step back he looked her over his eyes zeroing in on her protruding belly. Her eyes locked with his and she smiled "I found out the day you told me about becoming head. I'm eight months along, its twins." Her voice trailed off towards the end.
Neji could only smile and pull her into his arms. In the next week he was officially exiled from the Hyuuga clan. It was also the week he moved in with Sakura. He found that he had never felt freer and he relished in every remaining moment of Sakura's pregnancy. The day Sakura went into labor Neji refused to leave her side. It took Sakura fourteen hours to have the twins; they were identical twin boys and Sakura and Neji decided that no one would ever know which twin came first, it would be their secret.
I like the idea of Neji realizing that love is more important status. Also the whole not knowing which twin came first came from a set of twins I know who's parents won't tell them who was born first. Neji won today as he was the first one who was requested and there were no requests for the same guy. Make sure to review and let me know who you want to see tomorrow, also if there is a certain scene or prompt you want me to do I might even do it! So leave that in the review to if you want, just make sure you review!
