Sitting on the bench, it doesn't look like he had a terrible night. Talking to him doesn't show it, either. But, the Hyuuga prodigy barely slept. He couldn't forget about the hate note, the angry words he used when she came to talk to him about the "Icha Icha Incident", as he called it.
"Stupid lack of sleep," Neji muttered under his breath, rubbing his eyes.
"Why are you letting it get to you?" a female voice asked. He looked up and saw Tenten standing right in front of him. "You don't ever let your emotions show."
"Shut up."
She sat down next to him. "Aw, come on! I'm changing for you. Why won't you change for me?"
He glared at her, and said, "You're changing simply because you've been a total-"
"I understand. You think my pretending is never gonna stop. And you know what? I think you're a really good pretender too!" She sighed. He was so worked up, and the only way to calm him down was to...
Neji never expected it, but Tenten kissed him. Right on the lips. And his only reaction was to return the favor. For some reason, he felt like their first fight as a married couple had happened, and they weren't even married. Well, yet, anyway.
Tenten's diary, April 3
I have something to confess to you, Signel. I kissed Neji Hyuuga. And I think I showed him that even though I might have pretended before, that was real. I think he's not mad at me anymore. But, I'm kinda upset still.
I have no idea who threw that kunai.
It was more than likely Sasuke, because he had the book on his doorstep. I know Neji wrote that note. It was his handwriting. And I'm his "beloved", and he is mine.
There's a knock at my door. It's either Neji, Sakura, or Tsunade. As badly as I don't want to, life goes on, and I must be there to go wherever it carries me.
