A/N: Just some drabble practice with this them, though it's technically a little long. Not bad for someone who's never had a sip of coffee in her life. Title-less because...I can't think of one.
Coffee
He should say TenTen is like coffee, but he doesn't.
There are, of course, the obvious reasons for this comparison. Her hair is the kind of reddish brown of roasted coffee beans, and her eyes are the exact same shade as Hinata's cup when she fixes it just the way she likes-two spoonfuls of sugar and extra cream with a bit of chocolate and hazelnut. Neji used to drink his dark, but since this discovery always lets Hinata make it for him.
Reasons known only to him exist, too. She can be hot; passionate and fiery in the heat of battle, a demanding girlfriend who is constantly going for kisses and shooting him half-lidded looks that make his body burn. Just as easily, she can be iced. Sulky and petulant when she can't have what she wanted. Pushing him away sometimes without explanation, and being deliberately hurtful when they argued.
The first thing he wants to see in the morning. The perfect ending to any meal is her kiss.
No one seems to know if she is good for him, or the worst thing he could possibly be doing. Not that it matters. At this point, Neji knows, he couldn't say no to her if he wanted. He needs her to function every day, and if he lets her, she would keep him up all night.
Others can laugh at him, correct him, but Neji knows the truth. Like is not strong enough. TenTen is Neji's coffee.
