Last night

Neji watched Tenten intently while she was sleeping. He hadn't told her yet... he couldn't bear to see her cry... At least not tonight, not on their last night together.

He traced her facial features with his fingers and smiled when she shivered a bit.

He didn't want to fall asleep today. He was going to spend the rest of the night watching her... watching her soft hair, her lips, her closed eyes... everything. He definitely didn't want to miss a thing... Not tonight.

He kissed her lips lightly.

"I love you Tenten... I'm sorry."

He stood the whole night by her side, wishing that the night never ended for tomorrow he was going to marry Hinata-Sama. It was the great Hiashi-Sama's orders...
