Cake
"Tenten, I'm…I'm so sorry."
"No, Neji, you're not sorry. Save it,"
Neji watched, helpless as his wife stuffed things into a suitcase. It was so unlike Tenten. Usually, she was the calm, peaceful one; but not now.
She was grabbing; hastily knocking things over as her trembling hand reached in all directions to take anything she saw. Books; clothes; weapons...
"Tenten…please." He begged. She ignored him and slammed the suitcase shut, heaving it off of the bed.
"Here, let me help…"
"Don't touch me…" she growled.
"You're pregnant!" He protested.
"And you're a fucking jerk!"
"I'm sorry, please don't stress…"
"Don't tell me what to do." She snapped, landing the suitcase onto the floor with an audible 'thump'. Neji flinched at the sound.
"Where are you going?" He asked, as she headed for the door.
"To my old apart… Ugh! It's none of your business!"
"Your old apartment is a mess!"
"It is not a mess, Hyuuga Neji!"
"Please…Tenten, I'll…I'll give you anything."
Tenten stopped in her tracks.
"Anything?" She narrowed her eyes.
"A…anything." He knew he was going to regret this.
"Hm…" She crossed her arms atop her ballooned, pregnant belly. "You know what I want." She smiled. Neji grimaced. Of course he knew what she wanted.

"Neji."
He had been woken up, violently shaken by his wife next to him.
"I want cake."
"Ok. I'll go get some for you next morning." He yawned.
"No, I want it now."
"N...now? It's three in the morning, Tenten."
"I want it now." She repeated, an edge cracking into her voice.
"The chef's in bed!"
"I don't care! I want cake… with nuts on top!"
"What!?" He sat up fully now, eyes wide awake. "You're allergic to nuts!"
"Yeah, I still want it on top."
"You're nuts!"
"What did you say!?"
**********
Thus resulting to the current tantrum.
"Ok." He surrendered, lifting his hands up into the air.
"I'll go wake the chef. He will not be happy."
"Your chef loves me." Tenten answered smugly, sitting herself onto the bed again.
"Tsk… yeah, you're not the one doing the waking…you and your craving tantrums, Tenten" He shook his head with a smile.
"Well you're not the one who has to carry all this weight around for nine months." She smirked. "At least you give me what I want."
Neji kissed his hormonal wife in the hand.
"But no nuts." He whispered.
Tenten rolled her eyes in irritation.
"Fine, no nuts."
A/N: I've been changing the story genre around for a while. I started this story expecting/wanting it to be all angst-y and tragedy like…but it hasn't really turned out that way. I suppose humor is so much more fun to write. Oh well, humor it is.
