Note from the Author: A GaaTen request for "FalconFire." Enjoy.

Twighlight16: o.O I think you just made me the happiest girl to ever live. :hugs you: I was thinking, "WTF? I don't know anything about TenTen's personality! How am I going to write this:flails:" And then you said that and I felt better.

Porny: Haha. Unconventional pairings. Aw – I'm glad you're not immature. I don't know when I start writing one-shots. But I like storylines. :warm fuzzies:

FalconFire: First. Oh, yeah – I did this request all fast-like because you're a new reviewer. Second. I'm aware it's "Tenten" but somewhere I saw it written "TenTen" and I decided I liked that way better. :shrug:

Naash: Aw, shucks! I'm glad you liked it.

Scorpion05: Thanks, babe!

V-chan2k6: Number one: You used the word "hardcore" and that was awesome, because it's a word I use to describe everything – but that somehow never finds its way into my stories. Two: I'm glad you enjoyed this, because it made me a little ill to write it. Haha. I am not a fan of either Sasuke or Tenten (I want to shoot Tenten sometimes), but it was a request so I got through it. Anyway, thank you for your lovely comments. :new reviewer cookies:

Detail

Her lashes curled slightly, brushing at the corner of her eye.

It was one of the things he'd noticed about her on the nights when she was deep in slumber but sleep wouldn't come to him – which were most nights.

For every night she spent in his bed, there was something new to notice about her – the spattering of freckles across her shoulders, the pocked scars along her stomach (wounds from training against the Jyuuken, he assumed), the dark of a birthmark at her hairline behind her left ear. He spent the long nights learning the secrets of her body – secrets only he would ever know – and taking pride in knowing them.

He found himself often hoping that night would come sooner than later – a wish he had never had before – so that he could lie with her, watch her sleep, and discover her all over again. He'd memorized her touch, her smell, her taste – but memories have never been as good as the real thing.

But of the nights he spent with her in his arms, he liked the mornings best, because she was the only one who ever smiled when she saw him.

Additional A/N: … Crack pairings are awesome. -.- And I'm back to my drabble roots:throws a party:
