You're The Way I Feel
Chapter 2, Sparkles in My Heart
(Normal POV)
"Do you mind to accompany me in a walk?" he repeated the questions. Tenten's still shocked. He's asking her a walk! It feels like the world going around. 'What are you doing, Tenten? Why are you shocked? Tell him you want it!' inner Tenten screams in her head. "It's okay if you don't want it," he looks disappointed. Then, he begins to walk to road. 'No! Please, don't go!' she still screams in her head. "It's not like that!" she grabs his hand. "I won't mind if you take me on a walk." He smiles a little.
"You are once a stranger, but now, you are the meaning of my life"
They walk in silence, under the shining sun. Until, someone come, "Oi, Neji, Tenten!" a blonde boy with a pair of blue eyes runs to them. Neji glares a little to him for disturbing his 'date' with Tenten. "What do you want, Naruto?" Neji glares to that blonde boy. "Relax, Neji! I'm sorry, but do you see Hinata?" Naruto grins and looks around.
"I don't know where she is," Neji says quietly, looks disturbed. "Nani? You're her cousin, for God's sake!" Naruto screams. Tenten sweat drops. Then, she sees an indigo girl is walking towards them.
"What.. are you all doing here" a timid voice is heard from behind. Neji bows his head lightly to the souke in front of him. The blonde grins to his girlfriend, "Hinata, I've been looking for you," he says cheerfully like usual. The indigo girl blushes, "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, Tou-san teached me a new technique earlier," she says smiling.
"They're really a cute couple, ne?" Tenten smiles to the indigo kunoichi and his boyfriend when they wave good-bye. Neji nods. 'I wish we will become a couple, someday,' she sighs and looks to her teammate
"A relationship is when you be yourself with someone that love you just who you are"
"Where do you want to go?" he asks. "Wherever you go, it'll be alright for me," Tenten says to him, smiling. Neji blushes slightly and put his hand on hers and walks faster. 'HE?' Tenten keeps asking what happen in her mind.
They keep walking hand-in-hand silently. They are on their minds, asking what they would do. "Ne,," they talk at the same time. "You're first," They say again at the same time.
They blushed and then Tenten says, "Ano.." 'Come on Tenten, you can tell him now!' she encourages herself in mind. "I…" she blushes hard.
"Come on, let's play!" a voice of children roams the environment, from the academy. "The break time," Neji says, looking at the playing children.
She exhales at the failed confession. Then, something takes her attention. A swing behind the academy. Tenten looks at the swing. 'It brings back memories,' she smiles and turns to walk there.
"Memories of you are the only thing that makes me stay the night and wish you were there"
"The swing doesn't change," he says, going behind the swings. "It's still the same when we were still here." She sits on the swings. "It brings back memories, ne?" she says, smiling.
Tenten doesn't know that the cold-hearted grown up man behind her is smiling at her lovely. 'I think it better stay this way,' he thinks deep in mind.
"I remember when I first talked to you, I was so weak and you were the top rookie," she smiles. It feels nostalgic to both of them and they are so deep in mind. "I never dared to have a chat with you. I felt so small compares to you. Until I saw you alone and was hungry. I wanted to know more about you, and I wanted to share my problems with you."
She exhales breathes and continues, "I was willing to be like you; strong, have surname, good popularity, genius, etc. I don't have any surname. It makes me feel inferior compares to you. That day, when I saw you for the millionth time, I gained my courage to have a chat with you. When you gave your advice to me, I'm determined to be the most powerful kunoichi, to be the most powerful weapon mistress, and unforgettable, whether I have no surname or my ability. Without you, I wouldn't be able to be like me now. Thank you." She says, smiling to him.
"I've learned to love the pain 'cause that's the only way I know how to feel"

'Finally, I can tell him how I'm so grateful to have him as my friend,' she smiles. "It's not me, Ten, you have the ability, it's just, I wanted you to realize it," he says, looking directly to her beautiful eyes. "You are my first friend, you are the first person I opened up with, after my father's death," he says and pushes the swing a little bit.
"Do you mind to push the swing for me?" she says to him, smiling. He nods and pushes the swing. "There're swings in the Hyuuga main garden. Hinata-sama and Hanabi-sama used to play there. After Otou-san's death, I've been living near the main building, to protect them. Even I was really cold to Hinata-sama, she has always been so nice to me," Neji pushes the swing again, "When Hinata-sama played with Hanabi at the main garden, she always asked me to push the swing. I was doubtful at first. That was the first time I played swings. But she said that everything would be okay. Now, I'm pushing this for you," he smiles lightly but unfortunately, Tenten doesn't see it.
"I believe Hinata liked your pushes," she smiles a little. "What about Hanabi? Did you push the swing for her?" she asks and the swing goes higher. "No, she always said that she could do it alone, and yes she could," he says. "I see, Hanabi-typical," she giggles at the thought of stubborn girl, opposite of the warm-hearted big sister.
"She is really similar to you when you were around her ages," she giggles. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "How?" he asks. "Stubborn, cold-hearted genius, but there's one thing I know you're better," she smiles understanding. "Your smile is rare, but once you smile, it can brighten the days people who see it," she blushes slightly.
"You complete my worlds, you brighten my days, and you're the source of my laughter"
He paused for a while when she said about his smile. "I'm confused, Tenten. I'm getting so out of character when I'm with you, I can't be the 'cold-hearted Neji' like I do with the others. I can be myself with you, it never goes the same with the others." he says. "It's trust Neji. I am your first friend and you are mine too. We've been friends for so long, our relationship is different from what you have with the others. Because we trust each other," Tenten's swing rises higher. 'And I hope you will love me back,' she continues in her mind.
"Tenten…" he calls her name. "Yes?" he stops pushing the swing. "Neji, what happen? Do you angry with me?" Tenten starts worrying, and rolls her body to face him.
Then, a pair of strong hands goes to her back and hugs her. Neji's chin is put on her top of head. The warm feeling surrounds them. "Tenten, I need you in my life," he says.
"My last hope is I can die in your arms, and together we will go to the light, forever be together"
To Be Continued
A/N: How about it? I've been hoping it will be the best chapter! I'm working for it about a month, so I'm sorry about the late update. :'(
And I did the last 200-300 words in my Biology class. I was really bored with the lesson of skin.
I think the best quote from me for NejiTen pairing is "Our friendship are strong, but I know, I can be myself only with you, and I can be stronger than ever just to protect you" :D
R & R please!
