It was raining heavily. The heavy rain mixed in perfectly with Tenten's sorrow for herself. She was sitting on a park bench in the middle of the late night. She was sobbing her eyes out. 'Why? Why would they be so mean to me? All I ever did, was want to be their friends…how could they be so cruel and think such a mean thing about me?' Tenten tried to dry her tears, but the rain stopped her from doing so. She continued crying, her head buried in her hands. Suddenly the rain stopped hitting her, but she was still able to hear the rain falling onto the ground. "Something the matter?"
Tenten looked up to see Neji holding an umbrella over her head. He had a slightly concerned expression on his face, other than that, it looked completely emotionless. "Neji, what are you doing out here so late?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing, now why are you crying?" He asked. Tenten examined Neji. He was just so handsome. The way his eyes sparkled in the moonlight, how his hair stayed away from his face so it could show his wonderful features, they way he smiled rarely. It made her want to sing.
Tenten wiped away her tears. "I can't tell you…you'll laugh at me." She said with her voice shaking.
"We both know that's not true Tenten." Neji said pulling a tissue out of his pocket and using it to wipe away her tears. "You can tell me anything."
"I don't know Neji…"
"Come with me." Neji offered her his hand. "I'll take you to my place so you can dry off. You're soaking wet." Tenten stared at Neji's hand. She grabbed it slowly and stood up still holding his hand. Tenten sneezed quietly and scratched her nose. "Here…" Neji opened his jacket and pulled Tenten to his chest wrapping her in her jacket with him. Tenten rested her head and hands on his chest, not feeling embarrassed at all, just relaxing and wanting to just rest.
"You smell nice." Tenten said rather quietly. Neji looked down at her pulled her closer to him.
"Thanks." Neji said making sure she was warm enough under his jacket. Tenten closed her eyes still leaning on Neji. 'Why is Neji-kun so worried about me? Why is he being so kind to a freak like me? I don't understand, he's never acted like this before, to me, to anyone he sees crying! He'd just walk past them, not a care in the world. This is confusing, but somehow, I will make this time worth while.' "Neji-kun?"
Neji looked down at her and pushed her soaking wet strands of hair out of her face. "Yeah, what is it?" He said loud enough for her to hear.
"Thanks, for helping me."
"No problem" They continued walking until they finally reached his home. "Put your shoes over there please." He said making sure not to make a lot of noise.
"Wouldn't Hiashi-sama be angry if I just come in here like this?"
"Hiashi-sama isn't here and won't be for a few days, so I was left in charge here."
"Oh…I see." Tenten took off her shoes and put them where Neji had asked her.
"Follow me, I'll take you to my room" Neji grabbed her hand which made Tenten blush. He led her into a room and flicked the lights on. It was an organized room that had a bed, dresser, closet, nightstand, and some pictures of family. Neji went looking through a drawer in his dresser and pulled out a white T-Shirt and some shorts. "Put 'em on, before you get sick." Tenten nodded and grabbed the clothes.
"Where do I change?" She asked politely. Neji pointed to a bathroom where she could get dressed. Tenten walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
'That poor girl…I wonder what happened to her.' Neji pushed his thoughts aside and pulled his shirt off (let's just say that's how he sleeps –wink-). He sat back on a chair and waited for Tenten to come out of her room. "I'm done." He heard her say. Tenten slowly stepped out of the bathroom and blushed. The T-Shirt was too big for her and was like a short nightgown and the shorts went a little passed her knees. She had let her buns out to let her hair go free. It had been a while since he saw her with her buns out. To him she looked rather…pretty.
Neji snickered a little. "Your hair is soaked." Tenten smiled and blushed slightly because he had no shirt on in front of her. "No need to get embarrassed, it's just me, besides…" Tenten looked at him still blushing slightly, "I think you look…kind of cute." He said the last word quietly. She brought her head up all the way so she can face Neji. Her face was redder than a cherry.
"Y-you think I-I'm-"
"Yeah, let's just forget that." Neji rubbed the back of his head and tried his best not to look embarrassed. 'Neji-kun…thinks I'm cute?' The two stared at each other for a little while in silence. 'I wonder what he thinks of me.' Tenten thought still staring at Neji her cheeks red. "Let me get you a towel." Neji walked into the bathroom where Tenten's clothes were just laying on the floor. He grabbed a towel from a small closet. And walked toward Tenten.
"Thanks." Tenten was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room looking at the ground crying a little. Neji walked up to her and sat down so he was looking straight at her. Her head was still facing the ground and the tears fell slowly onto the ground.
Neji grabbed her chin so they can look at each other eye to eye. "Don't cry. It pains me to see you cry." Neji used his thumb to rub the tears off her face.
"I'm sorry…I am just so upset right now." Tenten said her voice cracking and shaking.
"You just have to stop crying! It won't solve anything! So just stop please!" He said in a very concerned tone. He now had one of the most concerned faces he's ever had for Tenten. Tenten examined Neji's face. He was looking at the ground now. He looked like he wanted to cry. "I really hate it when you cry Tenten…it makes me want to cry." He said his voice getting slightly shaky. His eyes were welling with tears as he looked up at Tenten.
"Neji…" Tenten stroked Neji's cheek with the palm of her hand. "Why? Why would you want to cry for someone like me?"
"Because…I…You're my friend Tenten…and it just hurts to see a close friend so sad." He said looking at the ground.
There was another silence. They both just stared at each other sobbing quietly wiping each other's tears. Tenten was finally able to speak. "Neji-kun…do you think I'm a lesbian?"
"What? What do you mean?"
" I met some friends from the academy but they didn't want to hang out with me because they thought I was a lesbian."
FlashbackTenten was walking up to some old friends from the academy, Ryoko, Keana, and Anzu. "Hey girls!" Tenten said happily.
"Oh, it's you." Anzu said not very happy to see her.
"What's you name again?" Ryoko said giving her a weird look.
"Isn't something like Toto?" Keana said raising an eyebrow.
"It's Tenten." Tenten said rather confused.
"Yeah, whatever, same diff." Anzu said flipping back her long brown hair. "What's with those buns in your hair? Is it the most lesbian way you can make it?" She said. All the girls started laughing and this weird handshake thing.
"Lesbian? What?" Tenten said rather confused.
"Toto, is there something you want—cause you're kind of boring us." Keana said twirling her curly black hair on her finger.
Tenten pushed her bangs out of her face, "I just want to hang out, is that a bad thing?"
"Of course it's a bad thing Toto," Ryoko said, "we're checking out boys, but we think that if you're with us, you'll be checking out the girls."
"What? What the hell made you come to the conclusion I was a lesbian?" She said her voice starting to shake.
"Oh please it's obvious, back at the academy, you were never into any guys, and the only people you liked, were us." Anzu said rolling her eyes.
"Maybe, because you were my friends." Tenten said tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.
"Or maybe because you were into us." Ryoko said pushing back her blond hair and laughing.
"But guys…we were friends…"
"Yeah we were friends. Everyone knows that you're a lesbian, even the guys know. So stay back okay, we don't want you to hit on us." Keana said giving her the hand
Tenten wiped her tears crying hard. "Why are you so mean to me?" She said her voice shaking.
"Let's go…her weirdness could be contagious." And with that they left Tenten crying in the middle of Konoha.
End Flashback
"Do you think that's what I am Neji-kun?" Tenten said the tears falling down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Because…it's…it's not true…because I'm in love with a boy…"
Neji grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a hug. "It's okay…because we both know it's not true…and whoever the boy you love is…is a really lucky boy." He said holding Tenten in his arms. Tenten blushed and soon wrapped her arms around his lower back. His skin was warm and smooth, like a child's. His soft shiny hair tickled her nose as she pulled herself closer to him.
"Lucky…why?"
Neji pulled her closer and stroked her long hair. "Because…to have a wonderful and beautiful girl just like you…actually be in love with you…it's like a dream come true…and if you're wondering why I'm saying this, it's because…I like you." Tenten's eyes widened and her cheeks completely red. "No… I just don't like you…I love you Tenten."
"Y-you l-love me?" Tenten said pressing herself closer onto Neji's skin. Neji nodded and stroked her hair. "I…I love you too."
Neji pulled away and looked into her eyes. They stared at each other admiring their beauty. "Kiss me." Neji ordered but with a smile on his face. Tenten jumped on top on Neji forcing a kiss on his lips. Tenten lips were soft and smooth, just like silk. Tenten rubbed his face still kissing Neji. Tenten pulled away slowly.
"Even if I'm not a girly and really pretty, you still love me?" She asked staring into his lavender eyes. "You're beautiful. And of course I love you." Neji said in a loud whisper then reaching in to kiss her cheek.
"And even if people think such mean thing about me. You still love me."
Neji looked up at her as she stayed on top of him. He brought his hand up and stroked her cheek. "Always." He said forcing another kiss on her lips.
Ten returned the kiss by making it deeper and more passionate. She pulled away and ran her finger down his cheek "Always and forever?" She whispered in his ear.
"Yes…always and forever…" He held her hand in his and kissed her forehead. "My love."
"Oh Neji." Tenten rested her head onto his chest and fell asleep. Neji held her and soon fell asleep but before he fell asleep, he told her "Sweet dreams."
If I feel off tomorrow would you still love me?
If I didn't smell so good would you still hug me?
If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter century,
Could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?
If I went back to a hoopty from a Benz, would you poof and disappear like
some of my friends?
If I was hit and I was hurt would you be by my side?
If it was time to put in work would you be down to ride?
I'd get out and peel a playa cap and chill and drive
I'm asking questions to find out how you feel inside
If I ain't rap 'cause I flipped burgers at Burger King
would you be ashamed to tell your friends you feelin' me?
Can you tell me what y'all think? Is there anything I need to improve? Tell me please! Thanks! Oh and I know that in the summary I said the boys had questions, but Tenten was the one who had a question in this, cause if Neji asked a question, it would be the same as Sasuke's. Thanks again!
