10:: Fortune Cookie
Another one-shot for the collection. No hints of other pairings.
Damn. Even when your Hyuuga Neji, Byakugan genius prodigy of Konoha, proposing to your girlfriend is tough. He and Tenten had kept a secret relationship from all of Konoha since they were 14 and now, February 7th was the right day to pop the question.
Tenten was slipping into something nice before her and Neji's date. They always made sure to sit in the back of restaurants and claim they weren't a couple whenever anyone had asked, as the only person they let know was Hinata… until…
Flashback:
The girls (Sakura, Ino, Temari, and Hinata) ran up to Tenten after her sparring session with Neji.
"Hey Tennie! You wanna hang tonight?"
"Can't."
"Aw come on! We're having a girl's night!"
Suddenly a deep voice spoke beside her, "She has a date."
With that, Hyuuga Neji walked off.
Sakura and Ino squealed, "So you finally got together with Hyuuga, huh?"
Hinata spoke up, "She's been with Neji-nii-san for years… secretly. But after what he's planned tonight it'll be anything but a secret."
Tenten shot Hinata a silencing glare.
Squeals were heard all the way from Suna.
"Tennie, you know what this means?"
"No."
"It means he's proposing!"
"No way! We've only talked about marriage… on a mission! Once!"
"Once is enough!"
Present time:
Tenten laughed at the memory of Sakura and Ino dragging her off for a new pair of shoes and dress. Suddenly, a knocking disrupted her thoughts, "Oh! Hey Neji!"
With that, the couple stepped out of Tenten's apartment and down the streets of Konoha.
"Your appetizer…"
2 plates complete with one fortune cookie fell in front of the couple.
Tenten opened hers slowly as a smile cracked on her face and she smiled at our favorite pale-eyed ice cube and said, "Yes…" in a whisper.
A piece of paper and a ring were on the plate with the broken cookie as Tenten looked at the paper.
I see a wedding in our fate, Tenten.
-Neji
Haha. Notice how Neji says fate instead of future. I've always wanted someone to propose to me this way… plus Tenten wears Chinese styled clothing! I hope you like it! Please, continue to send ideas and suggestions! I need 490 more of these, okay?
