Chapter 17 - A work of art

---

It was beautiful! Simply perfection! The lines were perfect, the white color shining as the whites and cleanest snow that ever existed.

Lee took a few steps back to take in the full impression of their hard work. He had spent most of the day locked in the kitchen with his best friend and mentor, working hard on building this masterpiece of a house.

"Ehm, Lee?" Tenten asked. She and Neji had chosen to go shopping during the morning, and was first now showing up at the home of the working genius.

"Yes, Tenten, what is it?"

"Well, I don't think that it's supposed to be like that."

"What ever do you mean, Tenten? Isn't our house the most beautiful you have ever laid your eyes on? Don't you wish that you could enter it?`that you could live-"

"She don't" Neji's cut him off. "And neither would I - or any other living being. Look at it, Lee" He pointed at the gingerbread house. "It's crooked, it had holes in the walls - not to mention in the roof. That person that would live there would have to be dead or dying and unable to escape from it."

"..."

"Neji..." Tenten

"It's not that bad," she lied, putting her hand on Lee's shoulder to comfort him. "There is some room for room for improvement-"

"Some." The Hyuuga snorted. The house was a disaster.

"And," Tenten continued, ignoring Neji, "If you'd like, we could all work together on the next one?"

Tears started filling up the eyes of the green beast and and nodded as he dried off his nose on his sleeve.

"Great. Now go clean up. I'll cut the pieces in the meantime, and Neji..." She looked around the kitchen. "Oh, Neji. Grab a cup and make some new icing sugar."

Lee nodded in agreement and went over to the bathroom, and as he disappeared around the corner, Neji walked over to Tenten.

"Why..." He muttered displeased.

"Oh, come on Neji. I know you don't like doing this, but would you like to have that thing on the table?" she made a gesture in direction of the already made house. "No you wouldn't," she answered for him. "and the holidays are about doing stuff together, so drop the pouting. It will only make it even worse."

Neji stood still for a moment, but then he nodded. A new house would definitely be preferred compared what they had now, and, if it would take just a couple of hours, he thought it might be worth it.
