I'm kind of iffy about this one, but I'll post it anyway. I like the next one, but it isn't quite finished yet. So… yeah. NejiTen (with mentions of ShikaTem simply because I can), and I've decided to change the main character thing every time I update to fit the new drabble. Assuming that made any sense at all, enjoy!
I do not own Naruto.
Tapestry
---Two: Watching---
Lee liked to pretend that he wasn't watching his teammates as they trained.
He was quite sure that, while Neji and Tenten were fully aware of the deeper meaning behind the subtle looks and little touches they gave each other, they had no idea they were being observed.
Their romance was, perhaps, not very obvious to an outsider. That was the point, wasn't it? It wasn't like they were Shikamaru and Temari, who could verbally deny their relationship all they wanted and still be betrayed by their eyes and actions. Or Naruto and Hinata, the latter of which pair blushed furiously every time she was in the former's presence. But Lee, who knew Neji and Tenten better than anyone else, saw it plain as day.
If Tenten slipped at any moment, even just a little, Neji's hand would be there to steady her. Sometimes her fingers would just barely brush his when they were standing close enough.
Had anyone bothered to ask them, Neji and Tenten wouldn't have denied a thing. To them, their relationship was almost as natural as breathing.
Sure, he was a bit conceited, but she reminded him (frequently) that he wasn't perfect.
And maybe she was a bit of a tomboy, but he made sure she remembered her feminine side.
Since no one asked, they didn't tell, and neither did Lee.
After all, he just liked to watch them.
---Owari---
I seriously don't know where this one came from. I wanted to write something with NejiTen and this is what I got. Oh well. Review, please!
