Pairing: Neji Hyuuga x Tenten
Theme: #17 - Kilohertz // kHz
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Tenten squinted her eyes as she tried to capture every Scientific word that came from Neji's mouth. She understood very little of what he explained, not like she even understood what she was supposed to be writing about.
"The kHz is frequency," he told her, "you understand that, right?"
She bit her lip and quickly dotted down on her notepad that it was frequency. "Yes, but what are it's applications?"
Neji let out a small noise of irritation. For the past hour or so he had repeated to Tenten what exactly kilohertz was, the history of her (which she caught on after first reading about the man,) and the applications it was applied with that she used in daily life. It wasn't really a difficult topic and he couldn't understand why she was having troubles with something so simple. "A few of it's applications..." he began, his tone sinking with every word. "are Electromagnetic radiation, the number of oscillations of the perpendicular electric and magnetic files per second. Radio frequency, which is usually measured in kilohertz, megahertz, or gigahertz. Which explains why all of your radio dials are labeled with 'kHx', 'MHz', and 'GHz.'...do you understand so far?" He added, seeing Tenten's slightly confused facial expression.
"Kind of..."
Neji cleared his throat and continued. "There is also Sound, which is an oscillation of pressure. Each note reacts to a certain frequency which is measured in hertz. And last, there are various computer buses. They transfer data using clock signals for our modern products. Do you think you finally understand now?"
Tenten quickly finished writing down the last that Neji said. "I think so, yes."
"Good."
After she finished writing, Tenten tossed down her pencil and laid her body down upon her bed which she was sitting on for the past hour. "I don't understand Neji, how did you become such a genius? I mean, I could spend years of my life studying but it'd be worth nothing since I wouldn't remember half of it."
"I was simply born that way."
Tenten rolled her eyes. At times she hated it when Neji was a genius. "So you were born with all the knowledge in the world?"
"Of course not. No one is."
"It shows. I mean what kind of a teenage boy doesn't show any knowledge of happiness?" She said in a giggly and cocky tone.
Neji's eyes narrowed. "I know happiness."
"Oh you do? Then why don't you ever show it?"
"Because...it's pointless to have."
Once more Tenten rolled her eyes. "Come on, don't you ever have a little bit of fun?"
"No."
"I'm sure you have. Don't you have fun when it's just you boys on the training ground? Or maybe there's something you do when you get home that you find fun like...reading or something like that!"
Neji shook his head.
"You trying to explain kilohertz to me is like me trying to explain happiness..." She muttered under her breath.
"Hm?" His attention was fully on her now.
"Nothing." She said a little too-fast and then smiled deeply. "I know how I can get you to show happiness!"
"Oh, and what is that?"
Tenten smiled and sat down in front of Neji, directly face to face. "It's simple. I'll kiss you."
"What?"
"I'll-kiss-you." She repeated slowly. "I heard from Ino Yamanaka that boys become really happy when you kiss them. So why not try it on you?"
"I'd rather not..." Neji objected, a light tint of pink forming under his eyes.
"It's only fair though Neji. You taught me a whole hour's worth of lessons on kHz, now I teach you a short lesson on happiness." She stated proudly. "Now close your eyes."
Neji did as he was told. It was better to have this so called lesson of happiness over with then have her bother him forever about it until he caved into her demands.
Within a few short seconds, Neji felt soft and warm lips touch his own. Tenten's lips were not at all what they seemed to be, they looked cold and maybe even chapped from the harsh winds but they were only the opposite of what he expected from her, as the kiss continued for a few short seconds, Neji finally felt a new emotion that he had been lost from for so many years - happiness.
"Did it work?" She asked after pulling away, pursing her lips together for a second or two.
"No." He lied.
Tenten frowned. "I was right, you trying to explain kilohertz to me is like me trying to explain happiness..."
Author's notes - Honestly, I don't know crap about the kHz...so I just read a book about it...still didn't get it...Hopefully this is a 'happy' one compared to my last. Some of you were very disturbed by the LeeTen and I can't blame you at all. (Extra - If you've been watching the Naruto Shippuuden lately, you'll see that Team Gai is looking awsome as usual!)
Thank you for reading.
