On My Mind
Laughter and tidbits of hearty conversation floated in through the open window. A light breeze blew in white flower petals, making them catch in the silken curtains in Neji's room. Neji had asked the weapons mistress to come to his house andcut his hair for the annual spring festival, and Tenten had accepted immediately. But it turned out that cutting his hair would be a little harder than one would have thought…
"Neji, stay still!" Tenten said, gently slapping the Hyuga prodigy's shoulder. Neji didn't respond, but simplytilted his chin a little bit, his gleaming, white eyes focused on something outside.
A flower petal blew in and hit Neji's forehead, and he instinctively moved his fingers upward to brush it away.
"Neji-san!" Tenten gasped, blushing as her crush's fingertips tenderly covered her own.
"Gomen-ne, Tenten…" Neji muttered, the lightest shade of red crossing over his cheeks. He turned back and resumed staring at the unknown object outside.
Tenten sighed quietly as she slid her fingers through Neji's surprisingly smooth, silky hair. She did a quick snip and a lock of ivory hair floated to the ground.
"Neji, I'm finished," Tenten said, lightly placing a hand on Neji's shoulder. The Hyuga tensed up at her touch, and the girl drew her hand back. "N-Neji-san?"
"Nothing…" Neji mumbled, but Tenten caught his wrist.
"Ano, Neji, what's on your mind?" Tenten asked. Neji took his other hand and stroked Tenten's fingers that were clasped around his wrist. An audible, sharp intake of air was heard, and Tenten's cheeks flooded with colors.
Neji turned then, and smirked at Tenten teasingly. "You, Tenten."
