Creating Love: Reason Enough
In a world where hearts are being broken,
One finds a reason enough to love.
Chapter 11
It's been more than a week since Neji left to go to US with Hanabi and Hinata staying over their place to help her with taking care of Metal. Tenten admit that Neji's words about Hinata was true. She's really a great help– and she knows alot of things about how to properly take care of a baby. Like really great help. There were times when Hinata would look after Metal the whole day while she gets time to focus on her work and making designs. Hinata would also prepare some snacks for the two of them (if she's not busy with Metal).
God, she's an angel, Tenten couldn't help but thought about Hinata.
It's saturday morning and Tenten and Hinata are drinking tea on the small veranda in the living room while looking at the view below them, those other buildings and busy street of Konoha. Metal is still sleeping in their room.
Hinata glances at Tenten– who's just woke up and still in her reverie. She's about to say something when her phone rang. Tenten glanced at her and to her phone and smiled.
"I'll just answer this, Tenten. If you may excuse me." Hinata excused herself.
Tenten just nodded before taking a sip of her tea. Hinata and went inside and came back soon after. The female Hyuga smiled at her when their gaze met.
"Hmm, Tenten... do you mind coming with me today? I'm going to meet Ino and Sakura." Hinata asked her with a warm, shy smile.
"Huh? Well, sure. If that's okay with the three of you."
"Of course, we'll be happy to have you."
"But, Metal... can I bring him as well?"
Hinata nodded, "Yes."
Before lunch time came, Tenten and Hinata (with Metal of course) went in Ichiraku Restaurant to meet Ino and Sakura. The two girls were already there when they arrived.
"Tenten! Congratulations! I heard about your successful adoption with Metal." Sakura greeted as soon as they got close to the table.
"Congratulations, Tenten." Ino greeted as well.
"Thank you, Ino and Sakura."
"Can I carry him?" Sakura said, and Tenten nodded before handing Metal to her.
Tenten sat beside Ino, while Hinata beside Sakura. Ino ordered foods for them– which arrived shortly. The girls started eating while conversing in random topic.
"Metal is so cute. God, Iook at his chubby cheeks!" Ino commented while caressing Metal's cheeks, Sakura and Hinata agreed with her.
Ino suddenly nudged her side, and Tenten immediately throw her a look.
"You miss him, right?" Ino said in a low, serious voice.
"Huh? Who?" Tenten asked in confusion. Completely clueless of what Ino is talking about.
"Neji." She answered as a matter of fact, "Hinata just told us earlier that Neji went to US last week." Ino added, getting both Sakura and Hinata's attention.
"Oh, right. It must be hard for you to be away from him, again." Sakura said, giving her a small sad smile.
Tenten suddenly thought, what are these girls wanted to hear? Do I miss Neji?
Well... maybe, but only little?
She misses his warm hugs, and his cooking most especially.
Tenten sigh and answered, "I miss him terribly..." She said, half lied.
Ino shook her head, "This made me wondered, how does the two of you managed a long distance relationship? You were in US before, right Tenten? And Neji's here in Konoha."
'So this is what Neji was talking about Ino before, that she's a kind of interrogator- that she could ask a lot of questions.', Tenten thought, remembering the first time they argued after meeting Ino on their way to visit Lee.
Tenten suddenly hopes Neji's here to back her up. She's sure, Neji can immediately formulate an answer for her question.
Tenten bit her lower lip and glance at Metal with sad eyes.
'This is your time to shine, Tenten. You better act good and naturally. And make them believe your stories', She told herself, praying to Kami for help.
"It was hard, really. We're both not used with long distance relationship, so we were scared of where our relationship could lead." Tenten started, earning understanding nods from the three girls.
"But, we... w-we love each other so we tried to work it out. It was hard but we managed it very well... And here we are now, married together."
Ino, Hinata at Sakura smiled widely hearing her answer.
She can't blame them, even herself found her answer sweet and believable. If Neji's hearing this now, he'll be speechless.
"I can remember Neji-niisan few months ago, traveling to US every month and only stayed there for days then coming back here." Hinata added.
Tenten doesn't know about that information. What was he doing in US every month though, she wondered? But anyway, why don't she use that piece of information?
"Oh yes, those were the times he visited me. But then, I decided to move back here so he won't travel anymore." Tenten continued her lies.
What a great liar you are, Tenten.
"That's so sweet!" Ino commented, with both hands clasp together with a dreamy look written on her face.
Tenten smiled but she can feel her eyebrows and the side of her lips twitching from lying. She hope Ino's interrogation will stop.
"Though I don't imagine Neji being that kind of boyfriend. He's serious and scary." Ino added.
Sakura shrugged at Ino's comment, "Well, I do, Ino. I mean, Tenten was his first girlfriend- now wife. Of course, he'll do anything just be with her, even if it means traveling back and forth just to see her."
Tenten's forehead creased hearing Sakura's answer.
"Neji never had a girlfriend?!" She asked, voice laced with obvious shock.
"Aside from you? No." Sakura answered.
"You didn't know?" Ino asked, her voice sounded like Tenten should know that fact.
Tenten blinked, "Well, we never talked about his relationship." or her past relationship.
But really, she couldn't believe the fact that Neji never had a girlfriend. With that elegant look? And aside from his handsome face, Neji's smart– hailed as a genius and the prodigy of the Hyuga family in business world. CEO of Hyuga Hotels at the age of 24? Seriously, that's really something! He's not just handsome but he's got substance as well. In addition, he's very gentleman and caring. He's almost perfect! (minus that he's a kiss maniac, at least for Tenten. But of course, she's just kidding).
He can get any girls he want. And so, knowing that he never had a girlfriend somewhat bothers her.
"Oh, that's expected from Neji-niisan. He's very private." Hinata commented.
"Well, right. Neji's private. Too private that we– his friends didn't even know he has a girlfriend, or that he got married." Ino commented, laughing while shaking her head.
"But yeah, he never had any girlfriend. Though lots of girls admire him." Ino added.
"Including you." Sakura teased, and Hinata smiled at them.
Ino rolled her eyes before eyeing Tenten, "Don't get mad Tenten, but that was when we were kids. I used to like him, well, who wouldn't like Neji anyway? He was such a hottie even as a kid. But after knowing his arrogant personality, I just lost my admiration for him."
Sakura laughed, "Don't listen to Ino, she's just making a story. She confessed to Neji but she got rejected. What did Neji told Ino then, Hinata?"
Hinata smiled shyly, looking carefully at Ino– as if she's asking for her permission. Ino rolled her eyes.
"Well... Neji-niisan told Ino," Hinata cleared her throat, "Get lost, Ino." Hinata said mimicking Neji's tone of voice.
Sakura laugh doubled, and Tenten couldn't help herself and laugh as well.
The four of them stayed in Ichiraku's for another 2 hours until Tenten bid goodbye to go home because of sleeping Metal. Both Sakura and Ino vocalized their hope that this girl's bonding will happen again. Tenten nodded, and agreed.
But before Tenten leave, Ino pulled her in the side and handed her a wrapped box.
"My post wedding gift."
Tenten smiled and accepted the gift, "Thanks, Ino."
"Use that when Neji comes back. He'll surely love it!" Ino playfully said before winking at her.
Eventhough she didn't completely understood what Ino said, she just nodded and agreed to her. Whatever it was. Before finally leaving the restaurant with Hinata and Metal.
Later that afternoon when they arrived home and Metal is still sleeping, Tenten received a short call from Neji. Just the typical "How are you" "How's Metal" kind of talk. Before Tenten could tell Neji about her meeting with the girls, the latter said his goodbye because he had to sleep for his early meeting tomorrow.
After the call, Tenten stared at her phone. She felt a heavy weight on her chest- disappointment (and yes, sadness, but she's scared to name it)– for being unable to talk to him longer. She tightly shut her eyes and slapped her forehead.
"What's happening to me?" She murmured loudly.
Why is she having this feeling?
She laid down on their bed and unconsciously stared at Neji's side of the bed and realized how cold and incomplete it was without Neji.
Tenten realized that in just span of 2 months (close to 3rd month of their wedding) she really grew comfortable and used to of Neji's presence beside her.
Neji's just gone for 11 days (and she hates to admit but) she misses him. Genuinely.
It was late at night when she remembered Ino's gift, and with curious mind, she opened the box and found different sets of lingeries (with sexier and naughty designs than the one Hanabi gave).
Tenten sigh and shook her head.
"God, Ino." She muttered as she read the note with it.
'Congratulations! I hope you'll wear this, Tenten. Though I doubt that you'll wear this for long ;) -Ino'
The next day, Tenten went out for grocery and left Metal with his Aunt Hinata. Having Hinata is really a great help– she could vision Hinata as a good housewife in the future. She made a mental note of buying Hinata a thank you gift for all the help.
A smile immediately curl into her lips as she heard Metal's baby sounds followed by Hinata's baby talking and a smell of a very delicious food welcomed her senses the moment she entered their home.
She made her way further inside and saw Hinata and Metal in the living room (Hinata still playing with Metal), Hinata noticed her right away and smiled at her.
"Tenten! You're back..." She acknowledged her presence.
"Hi, Hinata. How's Metal while I was out? You cooked?" She asked.
"He was good. I fed him milk and made him burped."
"Oh, really. Thanks Hinata. I'll just put this in the kitchen."
She turned around after and make her way to the kitchen when she heard movement from there.
"Is someone here, Hinata?" She asked, loud enough for Hinata to hear.
But she didn't receive any response from her. When she arrived at the doorway of the kitchen, she found Neji– whom at the same time turned his whole body to face her.
He's wearing a t-shirt and a khaki pants with their pale lavender apron on top.
Neji smiled at her warmly, "Hi." He simply said.
"Neji...?" She called slowly before putting he groceries on top of the island counter.
Tenten couldn't believe seeing him right now. In front of him! He never told her that he'll be home today!
Neji didn't say a word, instead his smile widens and he open his both arms for her. Tenten smiled slightly before running towards Neji and threw herself on him- her arms embracing his neck and both legs around Neji's hips. Neji immediately hold her, his arms placed properly on her back to support her.
"Neji! You're here!" She said, voice laced with surprised, eyes directly looking at the pale ones.
Neji nodded with a smile, "I arrived earlier when you were doing groceries. How's my baby doing while I was gone?"
Tenten shrugged her shoulders and nuzzled on his neck. God, she misses his smell!
Neji, on the other hand, tighten his hold on her and walk towards the high stool chair to sit (because really, Tenten– eventhough she looks petite– is heavy).
"I miss you..." He said in a low voice, as soon as he's seated.
Tenten nuzzled even more, "Me too..." She whispered, enough for Neji to hear.
Neji smile widens, "You do?" His voice is teasing.
Tenten pulled away and look at him with raised eyebrow, "I won't repeat it again, Neji." She said, shy but firm.
Neji smirked, "Of course, you won't."
Neji knew how embarassed it is for Tenten to admit those words. But he's happy– ecstatic knowing that his wife misses him.
Tenten smiled and the two of them stared at each other's eyes for awhile, until Neji raises his right hand put it on her neck and caresses it slowly before he leaned forward, angling his head to reach for her lips. Tenten, on the other hand, closes her eyes and (excitedly) anticipate for Neji's kiss which came shortly.
As soon as their lips touched, Neji gracefully traced her lower lip with his tongue (and there goes again the unexplainable feeling whenever their lips touched– it felt like her whole system malfunctioned and all her nerves runs wild on her inside.), she immediately parted her lips, giving him an access to explore her mouth. Neji explored every corner of her mouth before their tongue worked together- battling for domination. Tenten's one hand stayed on his shoulder, while the other one is gently cupping his cheek, pulling him closer to her face as if their position is not close enough. While Neji's hands are on her hips– squeezing her skin in there, before travelling on her upper back, to her sides down to her stomach– completely forgetting the world surrounding around them.
Neji sucked her lower lip– making her moan softly– before their lips parted. His lips went down to trail kisses on her jaw, down to her slender neck- kissing and sucking the spot just below her ear, throat and clavicle. Tenten moaned again and arousing Neji, she grabbed Neji's face and pull it closer to her face and kisses his lips- hungrier this time. The two are panting hard when their lips parted for the second time. They rested their forehead against each other while looking (with half-lidded eyes) directly at each other's eyes.
Tenten let out a smile while she closing her eyes. Neji watched her expression and immediately placed a peck on her lips again. Tenten then felt the throbbing ache in between her legs and a hard thing pressing on it. Blush starts creeping on her cheeks realizing what that thing is.
She opened her eyes and found Neji's eyes looking darkly at her. She tighten her embrace on his neck and nuzzled on it again, placing butterfly kisses on his neck. Neji breathing hitched as she felt Tenten's lips on his neck. Noticing his reaction, Tenten giggled and moved her kisses to his jaw.
Tenten pulled away shortly, and Neji lifted his hands to caress her cheeks.
"Welcome home, Neji." Tenten whispered breathily before standing up from sitting on his lap.
Unconsciously, her eyes traveled to his lap and noticed his obvious erection. Neji cough fakely, making her look at him. His cheeks are flushed in red, and a smirk is plastered on his lips.
"My eyes are up here baby."
"U-Uh, Neji... about that..."
"Don't worry. I'll just go to the bathroom." He said before standing up, kissing her forehead before leaving her alone in the kitchen as he walked towards the way of their bedroom.
Tenten covered her face with both of her hands and cursed herself. God Tenten, you literally throw yourself to him. She told herself, a little embarrassed but (deep inside) feeling excited at his reaction too.
While Neji is doing his thing in the bathroom, Tenten continued his forgotten cooking and preparing the table before calling Hinata to eat. She took Metal from her and carried her son. Neji went back after awhile and the three of them started eating.
While eating, Hinata informed the couple that she'll be going home that same day (since Neji's back). The couple agreed and said their gratitude– especially Tenten.
Hinata borrowed Metal after lunch, so the couple can clean the kitchen.
The couple (plus Metal) dropped Aunt Hinata at the Hyuga Estate later that afternoon. Unexpectedly, Natsu– their older female cousin spotted Neji dropping Hinata and immediately instructed Neji to come inside the estate and stay for dinner (though while Natsu was talking to Neji, her eyes were focused on Tenten's. Looking at her carefully with her Hyuga pale eyes).
"Okay. We'll be right behind you Natsu." Neji said to his cousin before turning his whole attention at his nervous wife, sitting in the front seat.
Natsu nodded and left (with Hinata) while muttering that she'll have to call their other cousin and will instruct them to go home early.
He reached for her hand and gently squeezed it, "Are you okay?"
"Not really, I'm going to meet your cousins, Neji. I mean beside Hinata and Hanabi."
Neji smirked, "Relax, Tenten. They'll love you for sure." He said, reassuring her, before winking at her.
Tenten chuckled at his words and gestures and playfully shove his face but Neji caught her hand and (playfully) kissed her hands. Tenten felt all her blood went to her cheeks (because of Neji's gestures).
Damn Neji and his sweet gestures!
Neji went out of the car first (followed by Tenten) and open the passenger seat, getting the baby sling carrier and wears it on his body before getting Metal from his car seat. Tenten helped him putting Metal on his sling carrier safely.
Tenten couldn't stop smiling while looking at how cute Neji and Metal are. Neji caught her expression- he put a hand on top of her head, and smiled.
"You looked so love-struck, baby." Neji teased.
She shook her head (still smiling), "Being a father suits you, Neji. Let me take you a picture." Tenten teased back, getting her phone from her bag and pointed it to her husband and son.
"Metal baby." Tenten said getting Metal's attention and when the baby finally look at her, she took couple of shots of them (but Metal's attention on her was very short, he instead looked up at Neji. Neji laughed and tried to move Metal's face on Tenten. But Metal kept on looking back at him). That's why all the pictures Tenten took were 'Metal looking at Neji and Neji laughing'. It looks good though.
Tenten went closer to them after and jailed Metal's face on her hands, "Metal, do you like your Papa more than me?" She said slightly sulking.
Metal made a baby noise as if he's answering Tenten.
Neji chuckled, "He said, he loves you as much as he loves me, Mama Ten." Papa Neji- the baby translator, said.
Tenten look up to him, "I don't believe that, he loves you more than me." She sighed after, "Anyway, we better go inside." She said instead.
Neji grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers, "Let's go."
When they went inside the Hyuga manor, Neji pulled her directly into the kitchen where Natsu and Hinata are. Natsu is making dinner while Hinata is sitting in a high stool bar talking to the older Hyuga. The two female Hyuga instantly smiled as soon as they saw the couple arriving.
Neji introduced Tenten and Natsu to each other. Natsu Hyuga looks like she's about Shisui's age, with short, dark green hair. Similar to Hinata, Natsu have the 'kind, quiet and prim and proper vibe'.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Tenten." Natsu said, her voice mirrors Hinata but more firm and confidence.
"Nice to meet you too, Natsu." She responded with a smile.
Natsu's eyes went to Metal then to Neji, "You're looking good." Natsu commented.
The four of them talked– but more on Natsu getting to know Tenten– until Natsu finished cooking. Before dinner, Uncle Hiashi arrived with 3 Hyuga men.
"Good evening, Uncle Hiashi." Tenten greeted the oldest Hyuga.
"Tenten, Neji, it's good to see the two of you. When did you arrived Neji?" The older Hyuga asked.
"Just few hours ago, Uncle."
"You're just right on time Uncle, brother, Iroha and Ko. Dinner's ready." Natsu said, gesturing the newly arrived men, as well as the couple and Hinata to head on the dinning table.
"Neji." The short haired man standing just beside Hiashi called, as he walks towards Neji and giving him a pat on the shoulder.
"Ko, Iroha, Hoheto." Neji called, acknowledging his cousins.
Neji introduced the three men to Tenten. Ko Hyuga, is the man with brown short hair who is now standing beside Neji. Iroha has long brown hair (layered-cut), and Hoheto is the one with a man-bun. (Unlike Neji with a fair skin, the three men has tan skin). According to Neji, Hoheto and Natsu are siblings.
"You really must be something, Tenten. How do you put up with Neji?" Hoheto asked, with a warm teasing smile.
Tenten smiled and glanced to Neji– who's looking at her with serious face, "Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm just used to it." Tenten joked, earning a low growl from Neji.
"Let's continue our talk in the dinning." Hiashi said, walking towards the dinning room first. The others followed right after.
Of course, Hiashi sat at the right head of the table, while Hinata on his left, then Natsu, Hoheto and Iroha. On Hiashi's right, there's Neji, Tenten then Ko. While Metal is sitting on Tente's lap.
Neji put foods on Tenten's plate– no, he didn't ask her of what she would like to eat. It's funny how in the span of their marriage, they already have a connection with certain things, like in foods. Neji already know what Tenten would like, and that goes the same for Tenten. She knows his taste in foods.
Hinata, Natsu and the other Hyuga watched Neji carefully as he put foods on his wife's plate. Ko, Iroha and Hoheto smirked to each other (as they shared secret glances), feeling proud of how the youngest male of the Hyuga family is treating his wife with such care.
It is known to everyone that Hyuga men are gentleman, and very caring to every female (but most especially to their female family members and other halfs) with a slight exemption to Neji. He was arrogant, and basically the not-so-caring Hyuga, but seeing him right now taking care of his wife is just amazing (for Ko, Iroha and Hoheto).
They ate comfortably, conversing in different topics. When Neji finished eating, he took Metal from Tenten so Tenten can eat comfortably.
After dinner, Hiashi called Neji to come in his office, alongside with Ko. While Iroha and Hoheto excused themselves to rest. Hinata helped Natsu with the dishes while Tenten talked to them with Metal on her arms.
The three girls moved to the living room after. Hinata plays with Metal, while Tenten is left with Natsu who brings out a photo album of Neji.
"I never thought I'll be able to do this." Natsu confessed while holding the photo album, which confuses Tenten.
Natsu smiled shyly and sat beside Tenten, "When Neji's parents died, as well as Hinata and Hanabi's mother, I was the one who look after the three of them. I was young but I somehow mothered them." She started.
"It should be Neji's mom showing this album to you, Tenten, but since she wasn't here anymore, I hope it's fine with you If I do this instead, as Neji's older sister."
"Of course, Natsu. It will be a pleasure to me."
Natsu smiled and started flipping the pages, and showing it to Tenten.
When Tenten saw the first picture, an instant smile broke into her lips. It was a photo of a newborn Neji sleeping while he was in his mother's arms.
Neji's mother was beautiful and young (like around in her early 20's from the photo). She has the Hyuga eyes and similar to Neji, she has fair skin and very soft and gentle feature– She was like the female version of Neji.
"He was 3-day old in this picture, Tenten." Natsu said while looking at the smiling Tenten.
"He's... beautiful." She murmured.
There were lots of baby pictures of Neji with his parents, as well photos of Neji in toddlerhood, and early childhood: he was smiling in most of the photos. The next pages, Tenten noticed that it was only Neji and his father in the photos.
"Neji's mother..." Tenten trailed off.
"She died when he was 6 due to pregnancy complication. Along with the baby boy she was carrying." Natsu said, making Tenten speechless.
Tenten felt her heart squeezed painfully in sadness after knowing how Neji's mom and younger brother died.
The next pages, there were photos of Neji in school uniform with Hinata and Ko. According to Natsu it was back when Neji was in 3rd grade (Hinata in 2nd grade and Ko in 5th grade). Then photos of Neji chronologically (from grade school to high school), smiling with his father or in solo. After age 14, Neji's photos became less and less, and his father was nowhere to be seen anymore. Tenten conclude that his father was gone. She also see the change in Neji's expression. He was not smiling anymore and his face became more serious and stern and how his eyes became more intense– far from the soft, gentle eyes he had when he was younger.
"His father died in a car accident 10 years ago." Natsu mumbled.
The next photos was during Neji's prom night with Hinata, high school graduation picture with Hiashi and Natsu, few photos in college with his friends, college graduation with Hiashi, Hanabi, Hinata and Natsu.
Looking at the photos, Tenten realized how lucky Neji is to have his family who never leave him (same as her, with the Uchiha family) and also how Neji never had a single "ugly" photo. He's precious and he was beautiful from birth and until now.
Tenten felt a soft, warm hands enveloped her left hand. She looked down and found Natsu's hands holding hers. She glanced up to the older Hyuga who's looking at her with warm smile.
"Thank you for coming into Neji's life, Tenten. Please take care of him." Natsu said.
Tenten's eyes widened, the blinked multiple times– before she slowly smiled and nodded.
"I... I will." She softly murmured while looking directly at her eyes.
"Thank you, Tenten."
"... I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for looking after him all this time, Natsu." Tenten said instead.
Natsu smiled and pulled her in a hug, "I'm so happy when I heard he married you." she mumbled again.
"Ahh, thank you..."
After a good 10 minutes, Tenten noticed Neji coming down. She smiled at him and Neji sat beside her after.
"Thank you for entertaining my wife, Natsu." Neji said, eyeing her older cousin.
"That's fine, Neji. I just showed Tenten your photo album."
Neji's eyes widened, "I thought I already hide in from anyone's eye."
"Tokuma found it and gave it to me."
Neji sighed, but felt Tenten hold his hand which suprised him.
"Don't be embarrassed, Neji. I actually enjoyed looking at your photos." Tenten said, smirking.
Neji broke into a smile, "Okay. That's good to hear then."
Half an hour later, Neji and Tenten bid goodbye to Hinata and Natsu. According to Neji, Hiashi is already resting that's why they should not bother him. Both girls walked them to the parking lot.
"Come visit again, Tenten. Good night baby Metal." Natsu said.
"Sure. Thanks Natsu." She answered back, waving at them (while Neji is driving the car away).
When they arrived at their condo building, they found Metal sleeping peacefully (he fell asleep in the middle of the ride). Neji carried him while Tenten carry the small baby bag before the two of them walked towards the elevator.
Tenten clean up Metal first– changing his clothes and pad before settling him in his crib. At the same time, Neji was cleaning himself up. After cleaning Metal, she then went to the kitchen to wash used baby bottles. She cleaned herself afterwards and changed her clothes in a comfortable pajamas. She remove her hair ties and massage her head after, leaving her wavy hair flowing freely down to her waist.
Went she went out of the bathroom, she found Neji sitting on the bed, reading a book. But when he noticed her, he closed the book and put it in the night stand before looking at her. When she's close to the bed, Neji opened her arms for her. Tenten made her way up to the bed and made herself comfortable inside Neji's embrace. Her head is resting on the crook of his neck and both of her arms circling on Neji's body, and their legs tangled.
This is so comfortable, Tenten thought.
She felt Neji's hand gently stroking her hair, "Did you have fun with Natsu?"
"Yes. She's so nice."
Neji nodded and Tenten suddenly remembered Neji's parents and younger brother and realized how the two of them are alike. She glance up to him and smiled warmly.
"Neji... you grew up a fine man. Your parents and brother, wherever they are, are surely proud of what you've become. Metal and I, are lucky to have you as well." She muttered softly which caught Neji off guard.
Neji eyes widened and stared at her for couple of minutes before his lips broke into a smile.
"Thank you, Tenten..." He said as he put his left hand to her cheeks and carress it.
The two smiled warmly before they both lean closer to each other– lips meeting in the middle. Their kiss are soft, and passionate– as if they were trying to get to know each other for the first time but the fire between them grew larger, and their kiss became intense and more needy. Neji climb on top of her while Tenten's hands are clutching on his shirt, pulling him closer to her.
His lips left hers, and moved down to her jaw and neck, kissing and sucking the sensitive area.
"Neji..." She moaned– arousing Neji even more.
His kisses went to her clavicle, then above her breast– sucking and leaving marks on her skin. Tenten started to feel as if the room gets hotter.
"Neji..." She moaned softly, searching for Neji's eyes.
She pulled Neji's hair and he immediately glance up to her.
When her half lidded eyes met Neji's intense one, Tenten softly said,
"Kiss me on the lips, Neji."
