Prompt 9
"Stay with me forever"
The couple were snuggled together in bed, another long, exhausting day behind them. The kids had gone to bed hours ago and were currently sleeping soundlessly in their separate rooms.
Neji was sitting up, propped against a mountain of pillows as he read a book. His wife lay reclining against him, content to feel the rise and fall of his chest beneath her head. One of her hands rested against his stomach, fingers intertwined with his, her other hand traced lazy circles along his arms.
"Neji," Tenten mumbled with a tired yawn.
Her husband grunted a response, his hand tightening on hers for a second as his thumb rubbed gentle circles against her knuckles.
"You're going to stay with me forever, aren't you?" She lifted her head off his chest, her sleepy eyes searching his.
Neji closed his book carefully and placed it beside him so he could stroke his wife's hair. He smiled at her and ducked his head down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead. "Of course. We are going to be together forever, Tenten."
The smile she gave her husband was brilliant in its radiance and she snuggled back against his chest, satisfied and happy. Another tired yawn escaped her lips and she whispered, in an almost inaudible voice, "good," before sleep finally claimed her.
An actual decent sized drabble for once lol. Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I wanted to concentrate on my AU.
