Chapter 7
"Goodbye Tenten. I hope to run into you sometime soon." Neji told her as she was about to leave.
A slow, sad smile creeps onto her face as she tells Ayame to hurry up. Tenten sighed before telling Ayame, "I'll wait for you outside…"
Ayame handed Neji the letter, "Kaa-san asked me to give this to you a few days ago, Tou-san…"
Ayame runs outside, carrying luggage, to meet Tenten. A single tear runs down Neji's cheek as he says, "Goodbye."
Remembering the letter he opens it, only to be shocked.
Dear Neji,
I don't want to intrude on you. If you want to ask me to stay.
Love,
Tenten
Neji's eyes widened in shock and it all made sense. How she was distant and avoiding him. Neji was out the door in the blink of an eye.
Tenten was walking with Ayame back home. A single tear ran down Tenten's cheek as she thinks, 'I thought we were so close.'
Suddenly a voice is erupting above the bustling of the market.
Tenten turns around to see a very tired looking Hyuuga Neji, holding her letter and shouting, "Tenten!" repeatedly.
Neji looks at Tenten, out of breath, "I didn't get this till after you left. Stay with me Tenten."
Tenten tilted her head, "Why?"
Neji smirks and touches her chin, "Because… I love you…"
A slow, smile spreads across Tenten's face as well. "I love you too… Hyuuga Neji!"
Neji leans in and they kiss. The first actual one since the commanded one.
Neji looks at Tenten, takes out the ring, and says, "Not a fake marriage. For real this time."
Tenten blushed as she accepted the ring, to the joy of Ayame.
The engaged couple told Hiashi that they were to be married later that day.
Okay I got the letter idea from some movie I can't remember the title of. I had too much soda and remembered the movie and well… took the idea. Sorry.
