For as long as he can remember, Neji has been called many things. He's been called a genius, a prodigy, a rival, a teammate, a student. In only a handful of years he was called Genin, Chuunin, and Jounin, and if things go his way he'll be called ANBU in a month or so. He's been called handsome, sexy, unattainable. For anyone else, this might've been enough- Anyone else might've been flattered.
But he's too busy to be flattered, too busy wondering why it is one of his lesser titles that actually matters.
'Idiot.'
She calls him an idiot and he lets her. She's only said it to him once or twice, once when he almost died and she slapped him, and again the second time death nearly claimed him.
It is by no means a name he should wear proudly, but he does, even if he doesn't really know it.Because if she's there to call him an idiot, it means she's still there, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
If she's there, it means he can breathe, even if he is dying.
