I own nothing
Since so many have been curious about Lee/Tenten, it was kind of hinted at in the manga.
Lee helped Tenten collect her weapons after training as he often does, sometimes Gai and Neji help but today they expressed the need to be elsewhere. Lee didn't mind because that meant he can finally set his plan in motion. People often mistake Lee's enthusiasm for stupidity, while not the deepest of ninja he is surprisingly complex.
Lee finished sealing her weapons into their scrolls, she turned to thank Lee only to find him standing very close to her looking her deep in the eyes. Held tight to his chest was a drawing portfolio.
"Tenten, please accept this token." Lee knelled and present the portfolio to her.
"Token of what ?": Tenten looked at the portfolio with interest.
"Gai-sensei tells us the life of a ninja is one of constant battle and testing of one's self. I believe that a ninja needs a reprieve from everything, something...or someone that reminds us what we are fighting for. Naruto speech to Neji tells us we are masters of our own destinies. But what is destiny without some one to share it with?" Lee got out, the last few lines had his voice breaking.
Without speaking Tenten too the portfolio and opened it. Inside were three sheets of of parchment. The first sheet had the character for Tenten's name, the second the character for sparrow, and the last was the character for destiny. All done in extremely well done calligraphy.
"Lee...I..." Is all a stunned Tenten can manage.
Author notes: Declaration of love are kind of heart. I tried to think about how i felt about loe in the past and use that but that felt like stepping into marysue land. I tried to attack it from lee point of view and WWLD(What would lee do) it.I think love is the hardiest emotion to capture in writing because it is such a personal thing and a varied concept. Bah I am rambling now. thanks for reading.
