I think this one takes the place of one of my favourites so far in this collection.

T-shirt

It wasn't that she didn't have her own clothing to wear, she just enjoyed the feel of wearing his shirts. The first time she had been caught in his shirt that was several sizes too large for her, she had told him that it made her feel closer to him whenever they weren't together. That had been when he had come to visit her for the first time their freshman year as college students since they were separated by a four hour drive.

So when he walked into their home after spending the last seventy-two hours cooped up at Konoha General Hospital, he wasn't surprised to see her strewn out across their king size bed, asleep in his favourite maroon silk button up and a pair of black hot pants. Her usual attire when he was away from home for long periods of time due to constant need of staff at the hospital.

He couldn't help the slight upturn of his lips at the sight of his peacefully sleeping wife. After ten years of marriage and eight years of dating, some things just didn't change. Her habit of falling asleep in his shirts with music playing in the background after eighteen years being one of them.

…

TenTen woke around seven that morning, the feeling of another body pressed against her own enveloping her. A small smile crept across her lips as she wiggled to turn over on her side, snuggling into the chest of the man she shared the bed with. She felt his arms tighten around her, his body shifting slightly to get comfortable in their new position in his sleep.

The smile that was still on her lips grew wider as she played with the fabric of his night shirt, content in the moment. She stayed like that for about an hour and a half before she carefully maneuvered out of his arms and left the room.

…

Neji woke soon after his wife, alone in their bed. Sitting up, he glanced around the room, noting that she was nowhere to be found.

Flipping back the duvet that was draped over him, he slid from the bed, feet slipping into his slippers before exiting their room and heading for the stairs. Once he reached the start of the steps, he could smell the wonderful aroma of bacon, eggs, grits, and toast, most likely cinnamon, wafting from the kitchen. Quietly, he descended down the steps before turning the corner and entering the wonderful smelling area that was their kitchen.

And there, standing over the stove, still dressed in his shirt with her long brown hair pulled into a plat over her left shoulder, was his beautiful wife pulling the last of the breakfast to come off the burner. Her head turned when she felt the sensation of being watched, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she gestured for him to sit at the table, "Morning sleepy head."

"Good morning," Neji said, taking a seat at his wife's silent request.

"How'd you sleep," she asked a few minutes later as she placed a plate in front of him before kissing the underside of his jaw then pulling away.

"Peacefully," he answered before taking a bite of the home cooked meal. A silent moment passed before he spoke again when she finally sat down across from him. "Some things don't change it seems."

TenTen, knowing exactly what he meant by his statement grinned as she reached for her fork, "Old habits die hard, Neji."

"So I've noticed."

This was loosely based off my own relationship. I literally stole one of my boyfriend's favourite t-shirts before I left for Connecticut last year for school. Something about sleeping in his t-shirt was comforting since I couldn't see him daily anymore.
