Prompt 12

"I'll always love you"


"Did you miss me, Neji? I tried to come as soon as I could, but I got busy with missions." The kunoichi smiled brightly. "I hope you weren't lonely while I was away."

She shifted her feet, holding the bouquet of flowers carefully in her arms. "You'll never believe me, but Lee has a girlfriend now. She's not a ninja, but she is really nice, and she adores him."

"The girls have been on my case lately," Tenten continued with a roll of her eyes. "They've been trying to set me up on blind dates, but I never accept. I don't see myself ever being with another man. I get lonely sometimes, of course, but no one will ever be able to take your place, Neji."

Tenten knelt before the gravestone and placed the bouquet of sunflowers next to it. She reached out to stroke the cold stone, reading the name engraved on it with a sad smile.

She leant forward, placing a soft kiss on the engraved name before resting her forehead against the stone.

"I'll always love you, Neji."


Apologies for this one, I know it's not my best work.
