An old, grey haired Tenten was sitting on a bench in the middle of the village, her husband by her side while their grandchildren ran around the park gleefully. She turned to Neji, who's hair had long since gone grey as well, and smiled, the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth standing out as she did so.

Neji smiled back at her, his pale eyes gazing at her with as much love as ever before. "We have lived a good life, have we not, my dear?" he asked, gaze flicking back to his grandchildren for a moment.

"Yes, we have." Tenten agreed. She would not have changed a thing in their lives, even the parts that did not bring happy memories. It was all part of their journey, and everything they had gone through—both separately and apart—had made them who they were today. "Thank you for being my life, Neji."

He opened his mouth to respond, but she couldn't hear his words. She frowned and strained forward in her seat, but his voice seemed far away, even though he was sitting right next to her. Tenten's eyes popped open to see her husband—looking much younger than a moment before—staring down at her with an amused look on his beautiful face.

"I am sorry to wake you, Tenten. You were sleeping so soundly, with a smile on your face. I was curious as to what you were dreaming about."

Tenten sat up and leaned against him, her heart warmed by her dream. She didn't know if it had just been her imagination, or if it was a snippet of their future, but either way, she was happy to see them having grown old together and still so much in love.

"I was dreaming of us," she told her husband. "Old and grey with grandchildren in our lives."

He obviously wasn't expecting that, and Tenten saw his eyes swell with tears before for a moment before he managed to get his emotions under control. "I wish I could have shared that dream with you," he admitted.

She grabbed his hand and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. "Don't worry, darling. It may take some time, but we'll share that dream together, as a reality. I know it."

Their children were still little yet, but Tenten had no doubt this dream of hers would come true.


Short but sweet. Day 30 & 31 are part of the "A Life Together" concept, as you can no doubt tell from today's fic.

One last prompt coming up tomorrow and then Nejiten Month will be officially over. T_T
