I'm really starting to love drabbles, so I'll continue this as a drabble collection (yay!) Hopefully you'll like it.

Some Neji/Ten, because it's practically by OTP since it's the only pairing I've liked since the beginning. And yes, I know it's weird to like Sasu/Naru, Kaka/Saku and Neji/Ten at the same time.

Drowning

Tangled Sheets

He watched her dark hair sprawled across the pillow, like a stain amidst the whiteness. He liked it. Neji shifted a little so he could watch her face closer. A soft smile was painted in her lips, but he didn't know if that was something usual of it had been him the one to put it in there. He would die before admitting he wished it was the latter.

She seemed contented, almost care-free; as if it was a normal thing to be asleep in her teammate's bed. Not that he cared if she wanted this to become a habit, hell, he'd be delighted by that. And she would know it without a word, for she was her, and she did stuff like that.

The sun had risen a few minutes earlier, but he had been watching for at least half an hour, mesmerized by the way the light had brought her figure to life, her skin almost glowing a soft orange in her patch of light. It suited her, he thought absently, as he touched her face lightly. He couldn't believe it yet.

The night before had been confusing. The moon's pale glow had helped her see his deep blush when she had caught him staring at her, sitting in a clearing on the forest; weapons decorating the ground. He had turned away from her laughing eyes, angry at himself for admiring her in the first place.

Her laughter filled the night, and he turned at her with a glare in his milky eyes. She had giggled again, and ignored his question of what did she find so funny. Before he could stomp away in anger in his usual way, – since he didn't have time for childishness – She had grabbed his hair and tugged it to her. He followed with a protest sound, but they had died in his surprised lips when she had crushed her mouth to his.

A giggle caressed him when she laughed in the middle of the kiss. "You Neji, I find you really funny." He had frowned and decided to shut her up.

As he stared at Tenten's figure tangled in his sheets, he decided he had done a rather good work of making her quiet.
