This drabble is for Dejiko Mew Mew, who gave me rainbow nerds as a theme. I think this is my favorite drabble so far. It came out better than I had planned. I hope everyone likes it!
And thanks so much to Lady-Frisselle, auroro90, Nico-chan, and the anonymous for your reviews! You guys are awsome! This ia another sugary sweet drabble, but I promise you angst next time!
Drabble Four: Rainbow Nerds
Neji had never really had an intense liking for any one thing. He didn't have a favorite food. He wasn't partial to a certain colour. He never cooed at puppies.
Needless to say, he was surprised to find himself craving sweets, and not just any sweets. Rainbow nerds. So he'd bought them, seeing no real reason to deny himself the sugary goodness.
Lee had always loved nerds. They were like sunshine in a box in his opinion, all sweet and crunchy and perfectly delicious. He was ecstatic when Neji showed up to training carrying a box one morning and had enquired as to whether or not he could have some.
Neji was surprised Lee even knew what nerds were. He certaintly didn't know the entire market of sweets, so it was weird to him that someone had known his particular sweet. He figured they must just both like the same sweet. And Neji saw no reason to deny Lee the sugary goodness when it was obvious the boy must have felt the same strange desire to have the small colourful candies, so he had offered his box to Lee.
"I love nerds!" Lee exclaimed as he took the box and poured himself a handful. And Neji watched him, watched his eyes take in the bright colours, watched the way Lee threw them all into his mouth at once. He liked watching Lee. He liked the way Lee could let himself be excited over something as small as rainbow nerds.
"I love you."
Lee froze, his eyes locking with Neji's. He looked confused, and Neji just let himself smile about it as he leaned in and kissed Lee. He thought Lee tasted like rainbow nerds and sunshine and something that was just Lee. He loved that taste.
Neji brought a box of nerds again the next morning and was pleased to find that Lee had brought one too.
Owari.
