The day had been exhausting and long, Team Gai having returned home from their mission after dark, and, although Tenten was happy to be out of the house for once, she was also grateful to finally be home again. She stretched languorously, a loud yawn escaping her lips, enjoying the heat of the water that surrounded her. A pair of arms wrapped around her midriff from behind and Tenten snuggled closer, the bath water sloshing precariously close to the edge of the tub.
"I've been waiting for this all day," she said, voice soft and relaxed.
Neji hummed in agreement and tightened his grip slightly. "It is good that Gai sensei has given us tomorrow off."
"We definitely need it, after that last mission," Tenten agreed. She tilted her head back to look at him. "What would you like to do on our day off?"
"Nothing."
Tenten eyes widened slightly at his answer, having expected him to still want to get some training in, at least. She turned in his arms to face him, a smile on her lips. "Nothing? You're getting soft, Neji." she teased.
"I can assure, I am anything but soft," he answered amusedly, moving slightly so she could feel the truth of his words.
Even though she was currently naked in a bath with him—and having been in an intimate relationship with him for the past two years—Tenten blushed at both his words and the evidence of them.
Neji chuckled at her reaction and kissed her forehead. "I thought we could spend the day together, at home," he told her.
Despite the quarantine forcing everybody indoors, Neji and Tenten didn't often get the chance to spend whole days together, at home doing nothing. They both had a rigorous training schedule they liked to keep to, and they both had missions to go on, either with Gai and Lee, or as part of a different team. So, Tenten was glad they would have this day together, just the two of them.
"That sounds perfect." She tilted her head to kiss his jaw before settling back into his arms, already looking forward to tomorrow.
I hope you're still enjoying the prompts. They are smaller now, since I kind of burnt myself out with the Pirate AU, but it was worth it. I am very tempted to keep it up (and maybe even start it again from the beginning so I can add scenes to it, make it a bit longer...)
Thank you for reading!
