SOC- NejiTen, SMILE, SUCKER!

This is for SMOKe13, because she/he wanted a longer one-shot and she/he was my first reviewer. I hope you like it.

It's a Bitch

Today was the day Team Gai was getting their picture taken. They've only taken one before but that was back when she was 13, now 16 Gai thought they were overdue. And he had to be dramatic about it.

"We need to remember your blossoming youthfulness! Don't you want to look back on these youth filled days and remember how handsome Neji was? YOSH?!"

Tenten grumbled to herself, it seems like everyone knew about her teenage crush on Neji. She should have known better than having a slumber party over Ino's.

She sprayed on a little perfume, knowing how close she'd be standing to Neji. Hey, what can she say? Old habits die hard.

Tenten ran to the Team Gai sparring grounds, seeing everyone there but her. She flushed a bit, what would they think of her tardiness?

"Why, what's wrong, youthful blossom? You look pink!" Gai loudly acclaims as she walks to them. Tenten swore under her breath but assured him the run here go her hot. "Then tomorrow, we will all run 20 laps around Konoha, since our blossoming flower is getting tired after a short run! We'll get her back into shape in no time!" Tenten groaned and took her place in front of Gai, and in between her boys.

Tenten felt nauseous thinking about them, how they'd sore to greatness, leaving her alone in Konoha.

The photographer cleared his throat, "Can we get started?"

Tenten glanced at Neji, who had been silently watching her. Tenten smiled and turned back to the camera, but not without keeps an eye on him.

The photographer disappeared behind the tripod, "3…"

Tenten smiled, noting Neji was still frowning. She could hear her heart thudding in its cage, tha thump…tha thump. The world seemed to slow down and stop.

"2…"

Neji never smiles in our group photos, frantically thought Tenten, this may be our last one and he's going to ruin it!

She made her decision.

"1…"

Tenten tuned and maneuvered slightly behind Neji.

"Smile!"

Tenten quickly reached in front of Neji and hooked her pointer fingers inside the corners of his mouth, forcing him to smile. She positioned her face beside his and smiled brightly.

The camera clicked just in time, the flash momentarily blinding them.

"TENTEN?!" gasped Gai.

Tenten removed her fingers and wiped the Neji salvia on her red pants, "What?! He never smiles in our pictures!"

The photographer shrugged, "Sorry I don't have time for another, and you'll get the photo in by tomorrow."

Rock Lee fell over laughing, causing Neji to scowl. He turned to Tenten and muttered the word that will cause her to double check all her locks at night.

"Payback."
