Author's Notes: We actually have three drabbles here, folks. The first two are requested NejiTen and the last is a requested SasuSaku. For whoever requested the NaruHina, I can't make any promises as I feel I rather, well, suck at writing Naruto, hehehe, but I'll try my best. Other than that, please enjoy.
Moonblind
"I don't see it."
"Look a little harder," she urges.
"I don't see it."
She sighs. "My mother used to tell me stories about the man on the moon. See those dark spots there? Those are the eyes, and that thing near the bottom is the mouth. See?"
He doesn't. He never does.
"No."
But he wishes he could.
The End.
Two Falcons
One, two… Two.
Neji smirked. Two falcons. One in the lower branches, the other higher up. Not surprising they were together since peregrine falcons mated for life. He hadn't expected to see them, he usually counted songbirds, but the gray-blue feathered falcons were interesting.
Neji paused and then half smiled. Three falcons. The third was flying towards him through the canopy, talons extended. Neji moved into a spin as a rain of kunai fell and the third falcon dropped to the ground, lips curling into a grin, one last kunai spinning through her fingers.
He came to a stop and offered her his usual greeting. "You're late."
"Sorry," she answered, unconcerned. "What were you doing? Training?"
He graced his falcon with a rebel's smile. "Counting."
The End.
The Earrings
Her earrings kept flashing at him.
They were long, delicate things, a few small strings of tiny pink beads that glimmered with light every time she turned her head. They annoyed him. And not because they were distracting.
Lee had given them to her.
Of course, earrings themselves shouldn't be worn by kunoichi anyway. They were a liability. They could be ripped out by an enemy, or caught on the edge of a weapon. It really wasn't practical for her to display them like that.
"You shouldn't wear them," he said flatly, eyes flickering to her ears. She blinked and raised a hand towards them but he extended a fist towards her before she could say anything. "These are more suited to you."
The next day she wore two small cherry-lacquered studs and a secret smile.
The End
