Prompt 13
"Please marry me"
The gasp escaped, unbidden, from Tenten's lips and her hands flew to her mouth, joyous tears filling her eyes at the sight before her. Neji knelt, staring into her chocolate brown eyes with his own pearl ones as a faint blush crept along his cheeks.
"Tenten," he cleared his throat and Tenten had to hold herself back from teasing him. He was completely out of his comfort zone and she didn't want to embarrass him even more.
"Tenten, I know I am not the easiest person to get along with. I am stubborn and insufferable at times, and I often find it hard to express my emotions. But Tenten, I cannot imagine my life without you in it. You continually make me want to be a better man and I want to make you happy, just as you have made me happy." He reached into his pocket to extract the ring hidden there and presented it to her. "Tenten, I want to wake up each day with you beside me. I want to have children with you, and I want us to grow old together. Please marry me."
"Oh, Neji," Tenten wiped a tear from her eye, grinning like an idiot at the man before her. "Of course I'll marry you!"
Neji swept her up in a hug, spinning her around until she was laughing with giddiness. He placed her feet back on the ground and took the ring out of its pouch to slide onto her finger. They shared a kiss before resting their foreheads together. "I love you, Tenten."
She closed her eyes, savouring this sweet moment for as long as she could. She was truly the happiest person in the world. A thought suddenly popped into her mind and Tenten leant away from him, a cheeky smile on her face. "How many times did you have to practice that?"
"Too many." Tenten noticed a blush forming on his cheeks and she giggled at the sight. He looked down at her, embarrassed. "Naruto insisted I practice on him."
Tenten couldn't help the laugh that escaped her, and if Neji wasn't holding her in his arms, she would have doubled over from laughing so hard.
"I wish I could have seen that." She reached up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek, still grinning. "Thank you for trying so hard for me, Neji. It was perfect. You are perfect." She planted a kiss on his lips before burying her face in his chest, hugging him tight. "I love you, Neji "
I was going to finish it midway, before Tenten started teasing him. I'm pretty sure Tenten wouldn't be able to resist teasing Neji if she got the chance.
