Equilibrium
The friendship between Sasuke and Tenten…
No, perhaps it would be better to say relationship (could it even be counted as just friends anymore?)…
Their relationship hangs in a fragile balance, an equilibrium which is often unsettled.
All it takes is a glance here, a touch there, and the seesaw that holds both of them on either end threatens to topple over.
So, Sasuke would smirk at Tenten; he loved how that unsettled her.
And Tenten would kiss him on the cheek, just catching the corner of Sasuke's mouth; she loved how flustered he looked afterwards.
It's a contest, one could say a war. Moves are made and revenge is taken. The equilibrium never lasts long.
Hey, all's fair in love and war, right?
