Drabble Seven: Mistletoe
Lee blushed as he held out the small oddly shaped parcel. He didn't know why he bothered to wrap something so small and silly, but he had. Scrawled across the top in sloppy handwriting, the name Neji was obvious.
There was no mistake, even though Neji couldn't begin to fathom why Lee had brought him a present. He had figured Lee would've brought something for Tenten or Gai-sensei instead, but he couldn't deny it was his name on the package.
"Are you going to open it?" Lee asked timidly.
Neji figured he might as well. Slowly and carefully, because the contents were quite light and probably fragile, Neji peeled back the wrapping to reveal a small bunch of mistletoe.
He spared a glance at Lee's face, which had turned bright red.
"You could have just said something you know."
Neji was surprised to find Lee kissing him. The kiss was awkward and involved a lot of fumbling before Lee managed to find the perfect way to bring his hands around Neji's neck.
Neji didn't fumble at all as he found the perfect way to get his hand up Lee's shirt. This elicited a squeak from the smaller boy who quickly pulled away.
"Did you just grope me?" he accused. Despite his tone, he could barely keep himself from smiling.
"Come over for dinner. How's eight o'clock?"
Lee could only nod dumbly as Neji waved and headed off in his own direction.
At home, Neji went straight to his room and hung the mistletoe above his bed. He hoped to get good use out of it later.
Owari.
