Hey! I'm so sorry it took such a loooooooong time for me to update… My laptop broke down so all my chapters got deleted so now I have to use my dad's laptop, and it's sooooo slow! So I probably won't update so often but I'll try so please bear with me and enjoy!
"TenTen? What are you doing here?"
TenTen spun around. She sighed in relief. It wasn't Neji. It was Temari who had spoken.
Temari was holding hands with Shikamaru and Shikamaru was holding a Sobeys bag with chips, candy, pop, and other stuff that made it pretty clear that they were going to have a movie date at either Shikamaru or Temari's apartment.
TenTen looked down at Temari and Shikamaru's intertwined hands and grinned. Temari turned beat red as Shikamaru blushed a little. They'd been dating for over two weeks and TenTen was already aware of that but couldn't help but tease them a little… okay, a lot.
TenTen skipped over to Temari and quickly grabbed Temari's other hand.
"Come with me!" TenTen said, hauling Temari after her. Shikamaru followed, well he didn't exactly have a choice, Temari was still holding his hand and didn't make any sign of letting go.
TenTen stopped, turned around and started walking towards Shikamaru.
"Not you!" She said, and shoved him away. Temari let go of Shikamaru's hand.
"See ya later!" She said and kissed him quickly on the lips before getting hauled away by TenTen again.
They reached TenTen's apartment with TenTen still half dragging Temari behind her. They hadn't said a word the whole time, so instantly Temari knew something was wrong.
"Why did you drag me over to your apartment? And aren't you supposed to be at Neji's house? He's supposed to be taking care of you! And aren't you sick?" Temari babbled on but was interrupted by TenTen.
"Just shut up already!" TenTen nearly yelled. This caught Temari off guard.
"Hey! Don't you dar-" Temari stopped. TenTen was crying. Temari, not knowing what else to do or say, helped TenTen over to the living room couch and sat down beside her.
"W-what's wrong?" Temari daringly asked. How long had it been since she'd seen TenTen crying? 5 years? She hadn't seen TenTen crying for years, but she knew that TenTen probably cried herself to sleep every night.
"I don't know!" TenTen said. "That's the problem! I mean, I think I'm falling for… N… N-Neji…" TenTen said slowly. Temari stared at her. Suddenly Temari grinned.
"Shouldn't you be happy? You've never had a crush on someone before!" Temari said, a wide grin plastered on her face.
"B-but what if he doesn't like me back? Sure, he's kissed me on the forehead a few times, but what if it's only outta pity! He's never said 'I love you'!" TenTen stammered. Temari looked at her.
"Well, did you ever tell him that you love him?" Temari asked.
"What? No! I could never do that! What if he doesn't feel the same way about me?"
"It's worth a try!"
"No, it is not!"
"You're lying!"
"What?" TenTen asked, confused.
"You said 'it is not' instead of 'it's not'!" Temari said, only confusing TenTen even more.
"So?" TenTen asked, with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Temari sighed. "One rule when someone's lying is that the don't shorten the words, they're using 'it is' instead of 'it's' or 'you are' instead of 'you're'." Temari said matter-of-factly.
"You're not making any sense… Do you need to see a doctor or a therapist or something?" TenTen said, attempting to put her wrist against Temari's forehead, checking for a fever, but Temari slapped it away.
"I'm perfectly fine. But you're getting out that door and telling Neji how you feel whether you like it or not!" Temari said, smirking.
"Make me!" TenTen said, challenging Temari.
Something she'll regret.
3 minutes later…
"You are getting out that door!" Temari said. She had already chased TenTen all over her apartment and was currently trying to push a frantic TenTen - that was frantically grabbing onto the door frame – out the door.
Temari eventually was able to shove TenTen out the door and jumped out herself as she closed the door behind them.
"Noooooooooooo!" TenTen screamed like it was the end of the world. But then she got a text message and her mood instantly changed. "Oooo, text message!" TenTen said in a singy voice. Temari mentally face palmed herself at TenTen's dullness.
TenTen's text was from Neji. She looked at it and read:
Wtf?! Where the hell r u? Dumbass! Get back here NOW! U'll only get worse, dimwit!
"How dare Neji call me dumbass and dimwit!" TenTen growled.
"Well maybe 'cuz it's true this point in time…" Temari said.
"WHA - Hey!" TenTen was cut off by Temari pushing her through the hall way to the elevator this time. They almost never take the elevator because they prefer the stairs and the stairs are faster, but this time the elevator would probably be faster.
Temari shoved TenTen inside the elevator. TenTen stopped resisting as she thought that it might be best to tell Neji how she feels…
Just kidding. TenTen was struggling like Temari was taking her down to hell.
Temari brought out her phone with her left hand as she was trying to restrain TenTen with the other. They were lucky no one else was in the elevator while they were there, but they shouldn't push their luck too far. TenTen had her apartment on the highest floor, which would be floor 13. There were only three people who lived there because of the whole myth that the number thirteen is a bad omen. The people who lived on floor 13 were TenTen, Temari, and Sakura. They still had about eleven more floors to go.
Temari went through her contact list and found Neji. She started writing a text to him:
Hey! Guess what? I found TenTen! Meet us at the park!
She pressed 'send', shoved her phone into her pocket and held TenTen with her left arm also, still trying to restrain her. Temari looked at the floor numbers that were flashing above the elevator door. Floor 6. Temari sighed, then her phone buzzed. She took it out of her pocket with her left hand and read it:
K, c ya in 5!
Temari started typing again:
It might take longer than that…
They heard a high pitched 'pling' and the doors of the elevator slowly slid open.
TenTen still struggled as Temari pushed her out of the elevator and through the lobby, headed for the door. They got weird glances from everyone that saw them. Temari just smiled at them like nothing was happening.
They were soon at the park, they could already see it. And they could also see Neji. When they reached him, TenTen knew there was no point in struggling anymore, so she stopped. Temari released TenTen.
"Well, I gotta go see Shikamaru!" Temari said and ran off.
"Temari!" TenTen yelled after her.
"TenTen, why did you run away?" Neji suddenly asked.
"I… uh… I… uhm…" TenTen searched for a reasonable explanation.
"You… what?" Neji asked, taking a step closer.
"I was afraid that… that… that you…" TenTen wanted to tell him the truth but it was too difficult.
"You were afraid that I what?" Neji asked, getting more and more confused. Then it hit him. He's never told her that he loves her. He mentally slapped himself in the face. He laughed a little.
"W-what are you laughing at? You can't laugh yet! I haven't even told you why I ran awa-" TenTen was interrupted by a kiss… on the lips… by Neji Hyuuga…
"I love you!"
