Crowd-- Neji & Hinata interaction
He didn't like crowds. Neither did she. Just one more thing to add to the list of ways they wouldn't admit they were alike. And why not? She was too shy, he was too proud. Difficult to believe two people could be as different as night and day and yet be so incredibly similar all at the same time. But that was how they were.
When faced with a crowd, either or both would disappear unless you had a firm hand on them. Tenten and Kiba had learned that the hard way. Getting Neji and Hinata Hyuuga to deal with a larger number of people than absolutely necessary, particularly if it was noisy, was unbelievably difficult.
But Tenten and Kiba knew those two well enough to get them into a crowd when they had to. Proof was in that fact that all four of them were at this festival. Granted, Neji was grumbling and Hinata was clinging to her cousin's hand, but they were there. They seemed alright when they were together anyway. Which brought Tenten back to thinking how alike the two really were.
And how well they got along now. Had it really only been six months?
Neji had virtually hated Hinata and Hinata had been frightened of Neji. Yet now, and Tenten just had to smile, Neji wasn't making the slightest attempt to pry his hand out of Hinata's. Whether the pair liked them or not, maybe crowds were a good thing.

reels from sheer overwhelming number of reviews
Thankies so much to all of you!
The Infamous Jack: Something longer? cowers in fear I have about 15 chapter fics going right now, one of which has not been updated in about a year... I'm glad you think I'm that good though. I'm afraid my only other Naruto is a songfic for Temari however...
Grummer: Yeah, it hurts. I understand that not everybody likes the same pairings. That's okay. And the thing about drabbles is, as the title to this says, they can be about 'whatever'.
Rowan: I don't particularly like Kankuro (or however you spell his name), but I adore working with Gaara and Temari. And now that I'm to episodes with them in again, you'll probably be seeing more Sand-sib drabbles.
Miszy-Anne: There's definitely going to be more Gaara. Would you mind if I skip the Neji/Ino? It's difficult for me to write pairings I can't stand. (Hate Ino, don't know why though...) I could probably do a NaruHina for you. I could try anyway... I'm a Kiba/Hinata fan myself. And I like doing drabbles involving both Neji and Hinata. Those are fun to write!
