I try to convince myself that it's the alochol talking. But alochol can't talk. It just sits there.It can't even get itself out of the bottle - David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary
Sleepless Night VIII
Tenten rummaged through her shopping bags as she sat on her rose wood floors. She had went to the mall with Ino the day before after cheer practice. There were a few really good options, and she couldn't make up her mind. There was a cute white monokini what had a deep V and showed off her breasts very nicely. Her only issue was the color. If they were heading to the beach or public pool, sure she'd wear it. But if someone spilled a drink on her accidentally, she'd have to walk around with an awkward stain. The next one was a simple one in a light blue that she decided to get because she liked the color. Besides that, her assortment of bathing suits varies from bikini tops and bottoms. She had taken to a green bikini top and a matching bottom that rested a bit lower than she'd usually wear them. It was a string mini bikini that felt like she was wearing literally nothing. Ino had noticed her looking at it and made her try it on. Indeed, it fit perfectly and her body looked incredible in it. She was sure to buy a cover up to go with it in white, only, Ino convinced her to buy the mesh cover up so she could still show off her rocking cheerleader body.
"Tenten." A knock came to her door.
"Yes, dad?" Tenten replied not moving from her spot on the floor. "I'm decent, you can come in."
The door opened slowly and a tall, husky man walked into the room. Fei-Ten was a military veteran who specialized in the weapons division. He had a stern stare but it was never malicious, unless provoked. He had grown his hair out after returning from service and decided to teach at the local high school in their neighborhood (that Tenten and her friends attended a few years ago). Looking down, her father cocked and eyebrow.
"You went shopping, Tenten?" He asked.
"Yeah, I have a pool party a little later and my other swimsuits were a bit too small or just really old." The bun head replied as she picked up the green mini bikini top and showed her father.
Fei-Ten's has clenched as he saw it. He wasn't sure he wanted her running around in that, however she pulled out the cover up and assured him that she'd be alright. Her father nodded, he did trust her when it came to being aware of her surroundings.
"Is Hyuga and Lee going with you?" He asked after a moment.
Tenten nodded and smiled. Her father adored Neji and Rock Lee, and she was happy that he trusted her best friends enough to put Tenten in their care. "Neji is picking me up actually," she looked at her clock. "He should be here in like five-"
Fei-Ten's head tilted slightly as the doorbell rang. He gave a chuckle as Tenten puffed up her cheeks; she wasn't even ready yet and he was early. The Hua man walked down stairs to open the door. Tenten could hear her father give a hardy greeting to her best friend. She shoved the other swimsuits into the shopping bag and undid her buns. It didn't take long for Neji to make it up the stairs and knock on her door.
"Ready?" The Hyuga asked sitting himself at the edge of her bed.
"Just have to change into my bathing suit and braid my hair." The Chinese woman murmured as she began two French braids.
Neji hummed and looked about her room. His eyes landed on the green mini bikini she had laid on her carpet. Reaching down, he scooped up the top and held it up. His eyebrows went south as he looked at the size of the padded cups. It's too small for her, he thought. Or was it supposed to look like this? Tenten tied off her braids and turned to face him.
"Ten… this is a bit… small for you," he mused. "Don't you think?"
Tenten took the top from him.
"Nah, it fits. It's supposed to be a bit more showy. That what a mini bikini does." She replied.
His eyebrows shot upwards. She had every intention of showing off her body tonight, which means he had to be on his guard and keep and eye on her (even more so than he already did). He grunted a bit as Tenten started to strip in front of him. Turning his head like the gentleman he was, he told her that she needs to warn him whenever she does that. The cheerleader rolled her eyes; it wasn't like he hasn't seen a pair of breasts before. Hyuga Neji has been flashed many times at parties.
"Please tell me you have a cover up?" He sighed.
"Yeah, but it doesn't cover much…" she teased with a smirk.
Neji rolled his eyes and slightly turned his head to see if she was dressed. She chose a white crop top and green booty shorts that made her behind look scrumptious. He was staring, wide eyed at her. A bit too long too since Tenten asked him if there was something on her clothes. The Hyuga shook his head and stood. Tenten grabbed her overnight bag and led her best friend downstairs. She waved goodbye to her father and closed the door behind them. Neji had a luxury car waiting in her driveway. The white leather seats costed more than their tuition and he was very picky as to who sat in his car. Pulling off, they rode in silence with the radio on. Tenten glanced over at him. He had his swim trunks on and his hair was up in a high ponytail which meant he probably had the intention of going into the pool.
"Hey Neji," She murmured as they rolled to a red light. "Can I ask you something?"
The Hyuga cocked an eyebrow as he turned to face her. "What's up?"
Tenten shifted in her seat a bit. Her hand went the the seat belt that was sitting in between her breasts, rubbing against her chest. Tugging on it, she moved it to the side.
"We didn't figure out which one of us is getting trashed tonight." She said.
Neji hummed as he watched he light turn green and he gently pressed the accelerator. Since they were sleeping over and had their own room, technically both of them could get shit faced tonight. Tenten smiled slightly, knowing that he was a still a bit awkward from the last time he showed up on her doorstep, drunk as hell.
"Well, I guess I have to keep you closely next to me," the bunhead sighed. "Can't have you hugging on other people now can we?"
Neji sucked his teeth. "I don't hug on other people."
"Just me."
"Right...just you." He mused.
Tenten chuckled. They had parked a block away from the grand Hyuga Estate because Neji didn't want any of Hanabi's trashy high school friends wrecking his car if the party got out of hand. Music was playing loudly and there were already a bunch of people wandering about. They were greeted by Naruto, who was in a tank top and angry orange swim shorts. He waved them inside and told them to throw their bags in one of the vacant guest room upstairs. Neji grabbed onto Tenten's hand as they navigated through the crowd of high schoolers and other college classmates. They were all chatting with red solo cups or bottles in hand gossiping or talking about their stressful schedules. The Hyuga closed the door behind him as they stepped into the room. Tenten looked around in awe. She's only been to Hinata's house a handful of times and when she and the girls were over for their sleepovers, they'd stay in Hinata's room. This room was very similarly to Neji's in the fact that the walls were titanium white and had leather furniture and a large bed with a plush comforter. The bed frame was a light oak color that matched the vanity on the other side of the room.
"Wow…" she hummed.
"Ready?" Neji asked setting his bag on one of the corner chairs and moving to remove his shirt.
"Oh yeah, give me a sec." the cheerleader stated as she reached for her booty shorts.
Now, Neji would usually look away however, he couldn't really stop his eyes from watching as she slipped the shorts down her hips and thighs. His jaw even clenched as her torso arched gracefully as she removed her shirt to reveal that green bikini top that showed more breast than he's ever seen her show off. The Hyuga gulped as she turned to him and asked his option on the choice of swimwear. Although he nodded in approval, he wasn't sure if he wanted her walking around looking… looking like a snack (as the High Schoolers day these days). Tenten ran her fingers down her braids as bent over her bag and took out her mesh cover up. Oh… her butt looked amazing, when did that get there? The Chinese woman threw him her phone and asked him to take a picture for "the Gram". And so he did, not only did he take one for instagram, he sent himself the picture as well. Tenten grinned as she looked at the picture. Throwing her phone on the bed, she announced she was ready to get shit faced and led him back downstairs. Eyes shifted their way as they walked through. To an outsider, they were viewed as a very attractive pair, especially to the high schoolers. They found themselves at the kitchen where the bottles were spread about. Tenten reaches for the tequila. She poured both of them a shot.
"Well, here's to a good party." She held out her red solo cup.
"Cheers, Tenten." Neji clanked his cup against hers and they both drowned the shot.
Deciding to go for the rum, the Hyuga poured himself about half a cup and added some ice cubes. Tenten decided to stay the tequila, mixing it with a soda of her choice. They both took a sip and walked out of the kitchen to find their friends. As they passed, Hanabi rolled up to them with a cup in hand and a group of high schoolers behind her.
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming." She chirped.
"Of course, Hanabi! We wouldn't have missed this for anything." Tenten smiled.
"Hn. Those your friends ?" Neji guestered to the group.
Hanabi looked over her shoulder. They were fawning over the two young adults before them.
"Oh, yeah." She hummed. "Tenten, I haven't seen you in a long while! You need to come hang out more with Hinata and I."
Tenten chuckled and nodded; yes she did. As they waved the younger Hyuga off they could hear their excited chatters of "wow, they're so hot." And the affirmative from the Hyuga that Neji was her older cousin and captain of the University's track team while Tenten was on the Cheer squad that made the top team in the country ever since she joined. There was an exchange of glances between Neji and Tenten as Hanabi talked them up to her friends. Together, they decided to go find Hinata. It wasn't that hard to track her since most of the college kids hung out by the hot tub, away from the younger teenagers. The only people missing from their group was Rock Lee and Shino, who barely went to parties.
"Damn Tenten," Kiba whistled. "You look hot as fuck."
Tenten grinned and struck a pose, swiping her braid from her shoulder. Yes, yes she did.
"I told you it looked great!" Ino exclaimed.
Hinata waved them over to join them. Taking off the mesh cover up (that didn't cover jack shit) she slipped into the heated water next to Shikamaru while Neji sat on the other side of her, next to Sasuke. They all shared a sigh. The Nara kissed her cheek in greeting before taking a swig of his beer. None of them missed the side glance Neji gave him.
"So, what's going on?" Tenten asked raising her cup to her lips. "What are you guys up to?"
"We were just gonna start a game of Kiss Me Threes." Sakura exclaimed excitedly.
The game was simple, Sasuke hummed. They all closed their eyes and threw out a number with their hands. For every odd number, you kissed on the cheek, however, if you matched with someone on the number three, it was a full on kiss. As for the even numbers, if you throw an even number and someone else throws an even number that matches, you kiss them on the forehead. Tenten hummed, they hadn't played this game since high school, but fuck it, why not?
"Alright, ready?"
Everyone closed their eyes. They all held their hands out in the middle.
"One… two… three, pick a number."
Everyone threw a number out using their fingers from one to five. Tenten jumped as she felt Shikamaru shift next to her.
"One, two, three… open!"
Tenten looked down at the group of hands. She had thrown out a four. Sasuke hummed as he looked to Sakura, whom he matched with a three and pulled her over. He lightly pecked the pink haired medical student on the lips. Kiba had matched with Hinata on getting a one, and he just planted a quick smooch on her cheek, which caused her to laugh and Naruto to not show any ill facial expression. Before she could react, Neji had leaned over and pecked her on the forehead; he had matched her with her four.
"Alright, one-two-three… eyes closed."
"One, two, three… pick your number."
"One-two-three, eyes open!"
Tenten has picked another even number of two. Shikamaru matched Ino with a three and the two made an audible gag noise. Sure, Ino was in a relationship with Sai, and Shikamaru respected that. So, it was a quick peck that resulted in the blonde drowning her drink and reaching for a new one. Naruto planted a sloppy kiss on Hinata's lips as they matched in threes. There was a snort next to Tenten. Neji and Sasuke has matched in fives, and they were sure as hell glaring at each other, daring one of them to make a move. The group stared at them, just waiting.
"I'm not drunk enough for this…" Neji groaned.
Sasuke huffed and decided to be the one to kiss the Hyuga on the cheek. A laugh ripples through the group as Neji shoves the Uchiha away from him with an embarrassed glare. By this time, everyone's cups and bottles were empty, so Naruto ran to the kitchen to grab more bottles. And by this time, everyone was in their fifth or sixth drink and feeling a bit twisted. Everyone closed their eyes once more. Deciding to get more adventurous, Tenten tried her luck and threw out a three. She wasn't sure who'd she match with, and yet she wasn't expecting anyone in particular to match with her.
"One, two, three- open!"
Tenten gasped as she looked down at the hands. A gentle hand caressed her cheek and turned her head to the right. Shikamaru leaned over and pressed his lips against her's ever so carefully.His hands traveled down to her waist as he leaned in more, deepening the kiss. He had matched her in threes by chance. Sasuke went wide eyed as he watched the team captain next to him clench his jaw. His shoulders tensed which cause the Uchiha to put a hand on his shoulder, ready to hold him back if he decided go jump at the Nara. Tenten's eyes fluttered open as she met Shikamaru's gaze. He looked a bit… forlorn as he looked down at her. Removing his hands from her waist, he sat back in his spot and smirked. That was part of their date they never got to, so the Philosophy major was quite pleased that they matched, however he wouldn't be throwing out a three again. The next couple of rounds went by, and Neji was getting a bit frustrated by the fact that he was no longer matching with Tenten in any number she threw out. After a while, the cheerleader sighed.
"Fuck this," she groaned. "I wanna go dance."
She stood and stepped out of the hot tub.
"Neji, come with me." Tenten slurred.
Without hesitation, the Hyuga climbed out the hot tub and lead his best friend back into the estate...not before sending a death glare towards Shikamaru, who just smirked.
"Dude, he's pissed." Kiba hummed.
"Let him be." Shikamaru sighed. "I got what I wanted anyway."
Tenten found Neji's hand and dragged him into the crowd of people who were dancing to whatever trash music was blasting. She didn't care one bit as she began to dance closely to her best friend. He was stiff, however he loosened up after a while. Before he realized it; Tenten had pushed herself against him. Automatically, his hands found her hips. His breath was hot against her neck and her vision was giving off a fishbowl effect. Yes… she was absolutely trashed and the way Neji had his hands on her, he was shit faced as well. And yet neither of them cared as they continued to grind on each other. This form of dirty dancing was something they hadn't done before (drunk or sober) and was quite exhilarating. His grip on her was firm, with intention of letting go and she liked it. She liked it a lot. A tingling sensation sprouted at her jaw as Neji pressed his lips against her skin. Soft, that was the adjective she was looking for, his lips were soft and moist as they trailed down her neck, causing her to shiver. Her back arched slightly as one of his hands slowly ghosted upwards, fingers trailing long her skin until he brushed against the underside of her breasts that were over exposed from the mini bikini she had decided to wear and was painfully teasing him with all night. A gasped escaped her lips as she felt something hard press in between her lower cheeks. Neji was aroused, and she didn't mind it. It came more as a surprise to her if anything. And with the alcohol, she couldn't think quick enough when Neji turned her around to face him. His eyes were a bit hazed as he played with the strings that tied her mini bikini top together in the back. After a moment, he lowered his lips to her ear and whispered something she couldn't quite make out besides for the words "alone" and "upstairs". She found herself nodding anyway despite not hearing him fully and was led to the stairs by the Hyuga. Once they were by the door to their guest room a heavy sigh escaped from the track team captain's lips as he opened the door. Tenten had been the one to close the door behind them as they stood awkwardly in the room in silence. The cheerleader leaned awkwardly against the door and looked at her feet, suddenly hyper aware of their current drunken situation. She took a braid between her finger and bit her lower lip. She wanted him, pretty badly. Tenten wanted him to grab her by the shoulders and kiss her. She wanted him to throw her on the bed and ravage her for the rest of the night. Her legs crossed; these thoughts, where were they coming from? She wasn't sure that she's ever thought of Neji in that way but right now, she wanted him in ways that was way more than what best friends did.
"Tenten."
Her eyes shot to his. Those ivory eyes shined in the dark room that stood him. His voice was husky and he started to walk over to her. He knew that she knew that he was aroused, now was the matter of doing something about it. He reached his hand out to her. Tenten didn't hesitate as she laid her own hand in his and allowed him to pull her into an embrace. They stood there for another moment. His hands rested and the small of her back, his thumbs rubbing against her skin as they always did whenever they hugged. They were still soaked from the hot tub and the head between them began to rise.
"Fuck Shikamaru. You're mine right now..." He whispered bitterly.
"Mm." She hummed against his collar bone.
He led her to the bed where he gently laid her down. Her eyes were half lidded as he hovered over her, not breaking their eye contact. In a single breath he was on his elbows, their lips inches apart. He was giving her time to say no, to push him off or turn her face away. He'd get off of her in an instant, but she kept still. And that's when their lips collided. The heat had risen immensely between them as they kissed. Tenten's already hazy mind began to shoot sparks all about her skin and her muscles. Her body relaxed and sunk into the bed as she gave into his lips. Her arms snakes around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Hips lightly pressed against hers, causing a hot exasperated gasp to escape her throat. Neji's hand traced the side of her body and tug at the strings of her bikini bottoms. Deciding he wanted to hear her gasp again, he pressed his hips more forcefully against hers.
"A-ahh!" She moaned in his ear.
His lips went from her face, down her neck and in between her breasts. Tenten bit her lip as he went lower and lower, down her rib cage and her stomach. His tongue lightly danced around her navel, leaving a trail of his own saliva on her skin. Then when he reached the line of her swimsuit bottoms he stopped. He looked up at her with curious eyes. Tenten anchored her head and nodded at him. And that when Neji untied the strings that held her bathing suit together. The cheerleader moaned loudly and her hand found his hair. The gripped her thighs, sending shockwaves through her system. He was going to take care of her, and work on her until she was ready to burst. He could feel her legs tremble around his head which caused him to smirk.
"N-Neji!" She rasped.
That's what he was looking for. He was hovering over her again, one of his hands by her head the other working on his still damp and uncomfortably tight swim trunks. Tenten's mouth fell ajar when she saw him. She couldn't help herself but state wide eyed. Had she wondered about what he packing? Perhaps, a few times but that was out pure curiosity. Seeing him fully bare was something she didn't think she'd be able to see in her entire lifetime, and she hoped she fucking remembered it in the morning.
"Tenten," he whispered. "Look at me."
Her golden brown eyes his. There was a slight embarrassed expression on his face, but his eyes were still shining. Leaning in, kissed her vigorously. She gave a small yelp against his lips as he moved forward, her fingers digging into his back. He stopped and whispered in her ear. The Hyuga let his charm spew from his lips to release her tension. Then, he tried again and this time it was smoother. Her toned legs wrapped around his waist and their breath quickened. Instantly, they fell into perfect synchronization. His lips soon found hers again after a moment and small pants were heard from her. She was surprisingly quiet, he thought. He was expecting a loud scream or squeal to come from her, but it didn't. And he wasn't too sure he likes that. He needed her to say his name again; the same way she said before when his face was between her legs and her cheeks were beat red. He slowed, cause a small groan to be heard from her showing her discontentment. He blew lightly into her ear and smirked when she squirmed under him. That's when he decided to keep his slow pace, but be more forceful upon application. With more force came more audible pants and moans from her. He could hear her cursing under her breath, which was close to what he wanted. It was when he pressed deeply when she called his name out. If it weren't for the music loudly playing downstairs, they would've definitely been heard. But for once, that wasn't the case.
