Because so many people have been asking for a part two. Here you go… almost two years later. LOL, oops.
Only Tonight

Part Two
Neji watched with keen eyes as the blonde haired Uzumaki boy cheered flamboyantly at his accomplishment of catching one of the gold fish that swam about the long tank. Why his cousin was so infatuated with the jinchuriki was beyond him. Yes, he was the savior of the village many times before. And yes, he did help Neji a great deal after he had been injured in the Fourth Great Shinobi War. But, he had the behavioural patterns of a two year old civilian child, not of a nineteen year old shinobi, when his life wasn't (and sometimes was) in peril.
"You should really stop staring at them like that, he's not going to do anything to her Hyūga," a female voice said in his ear as a bowl of herring soba was placed in front of him. "He's too afraid that you'll kill him if he let her do something so simple as scrap her knee, let alone to try anything stupid. Now eat and let them be."
"I'm merely keeping an eye on him, TenTen," Neji said as he swirled his noodles around his chopsticks; pale eyes never straying away from the couple for a second to look at his fiancée. Currently Hinata watched keenly as Naruto tried to catch another of the small gold fish (and failed thus almost falling into the water when he tried to pounce on one of them). "Is that now a crime?"
"Yes, it is," TenTen said plopping down beside him before stuffing a dumpling in her mouth. She held a hand over her mouth as she continued speaking as best she could. "Especially when you're watching them like a freakin' hawk. Relax." She swallowed before turning to look at him again. "We're at a festival for Kami's sake. Naruto is perfectly harmless. He's not going to do anything to hurt her Neji. Now why don't we enjoy the festival as well like a normal couple, hm? Maybe you can catch me a fish or win me that stuffed panda I saw at one of the stands."
"If this was a normal day out…" Neji started before being cut off.
"Which it is."
"…then I would have been more than happy to do so," he continued as he swirled more of his noodles around the chopsticks. "But…"
"I'm going to kick your ass in our next training session if you say that this isn't a normal day out for us," TenTen darkly; her stare intense on the side of his face.
Neji sighed. There was absolutely no winning when it came to the woman he had decided he was going to spend the rest of his life with. He wasn't even sure why he even tried anymore. She had already successfully gotten him to relent and let Hinata leave with the blonde in the first place. He should have known she wasn't going to give up on getting him to just let them be.
"Fine," Neji said before stuffing the noodles he had spun around the chopsticks into his mouth.
TenTen smiled, finishing another dumpling before she spoke again, "That's my Neji. Finish your food and we'll go to the throwing booth. I know your aim's improved since the last time."
He glanced over at her; his signature Hyūga glare marring his features.
"I'm teasing," TenTen laughed. "Just finish your food and let's go."
Neji didn't say anything, merely turning away from his fiancée to delve into his food. He'd have to teach her a lesson about teasing him tomorrow while they trained.
Quick, easy, and done two minutes before I leave work. Noice. Hopefully you enjoyed?
