Tenten's heart flutters whenever Neji stares at her from across the room. (lol neji dun even know that he's doing it!) — gracie-sketchy-cat
Definitely not my best by work by any means, but, well. At least I get a gold star for trying?
Also, I only realized that the last part of the prompt was there after I'd written the rest of this. Sorry. :x

If you are one of the few and privileged who claim to know — really know — Hyuuga Neji, then you would be painfully aware that first and foremost among his great many quirks and characteristics is his reticence to do absolutely anything without proper cause, deliberation, and justification. It is for this reason alone that Tenten feels her something warm and precious settle into her heart, when a lull in her conversation with Sakura allows her a moment to glance idly around the crowded room, and her she finds herself meeting the intense stare of a beautifully familiar pair of cool pale eyes.
(Why do you do things like that? she grumbles into his shoulder, flustered.
Clearly amused, he raises an eyebrow, looking down at her with only the faintest trace of humor reaching his eyes, curving his thin lips. You'll have to be more specific than that.
She scowls, refuses to meet his gaze. Her cheeks grow even warmer, and she takes her time to respond. You keep staring at me, she finally concedes. I had no idea until Ino mentioned something about it, and she wouldn't stop teasing me for the rest of the night.
Is it wrong for me to look at the things I find beautiful, or wish to appreciate? he counters smoothly.
Pulling away from his shoulder, she gapes up at him. Do you mean that? she asks, voice small and almost hesitant.
He chooses to reassure her by pressing his lips to her forehead, pulling her closer against him. You know better than anyone that I only say and do things I mean.)
Something warm flutters in her chest, and Tenten smiles.
