Tutoring.
Tenten twirled the pencil in her hands. What did she do wrong? She studied all night long for the past three weeks but still didn't get a good enough grade to look forward to making the Dean's list. Her brother had offered her to help with her studies, but she had refused, like an idiot, and ended up with this disturbing score of a C- in her Advance Trigonometry class. It wasn't a failing grade, but she hated how that C- looked on her B+ and A report card. Her brother would be alright with it, since he knew that she wanted to try and do it all herself like the big girl she is. Her parents would be ok with it too, since she didn't fail.
"Crap...what would Neji think?!" Tenten mumbled to herself. She hated this even more now. He was a straight A+ Dean's List student since last year (they're freshmen year) and whenever Tenten got a B or higher she would show him her tests and he would congratulate her.
"About what?" A voice said from above.
The brunette looked up from her seat. Oh fabulous...Tenten frowned as she handed the mid term to her best friend. Neji's eyes scanned the page swiftly. He made no comment as he passed her back the papers and sat down next to her. Tenten sulked. It was humiliating...especially since her best friend was a top student. Neji leaned back and looked at her for a moment before speaking.
"Well, you didn't fail." He stated.
"It will look bad if I get something similar on my final...I wanna make the Dean's List like you and Sasuke..." Tenten mumbled.
Neji let out a soft chuckle and put his his hand in between her two panda ears. Standing, he offered to tutor her in math. Tenten instantly shook her head, which made Neji point out that if she would've accepted her brother's help she wouldn't be sitting her sulking. With her bottom lip protruding, she sighed and have in. Fine. She'd rather it be Neji instead of her brother anyway.
At the end of the day, Neji waited by her last class. Girls giggles and glanced at him as they walked by. Being that he was very attractive since birth, he has attracted both genders through out his school career. It was in high school where he realized that he was practically King of the School. His grades were superior to the Uchiha's in everything and his stoic persona was widely known. He didn't have many friends in high school. He had met Rock Lee while in the Karate club back in his freshmen year. They were partnered up and had been talking ever since. Through Rock Lee, he met Tenten, captain of the Katana club and member of various sports teams. She was spunky, out going, and loved to prove him wrong.
Attractive.
Tenten walked out of her Astrology class and was grabbed by her waist. With a high pitched squeal, she wiggled out of Neji's embrace and blushed lightly.
"Seriously?!" She exclaimed, looking around at the stares of many female young adults.
"What? I can't hug my best friend in public?" The Hyuga smirked.
"Not like this you can't! And since when did you enjoy hugs?" Tenten wiggled out of his grip.
Neji let out a laugh and led his best friend off campus. They first went to their favorite cafe and got coffee before heading to the Hyuga's apartment.
"I'm at Neji's...no...n- What gave you that ide- ARE YOU CRAZY? It's not like that. Look, just tell mom and dad I'll be home late tonight...yes he's driving me...I SAID IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, SHIN, NOW SHUT IT! Good bye!" Tenten huffed as she pressed the 'end' button on her Galaxy.
Neji smirked as he pulled out his phone. Tenten's older brother had sent him a text message.
"Be safe you two." It said.-
"Of course." Was the Hyuga's reply as he pressed the home button on his IPhone and locked it.
Digging out his keys, Neji opened the door to his two family apartment. Tenten had always wondered why he got it this size. It really was just him and he wasn't one for throwing parties either; that was more of Naruto and Ino's thing. Taking off her shoes, Tenten trekked into her best friend's apartment and plopped herself on his couch. Neji emerged from the kitchen with a bag of chips and some juice bottles.
"I prefer sake. And I know for a fact that you have lots of it." Tenten pointed at him from the couch.
Neji laughed. Sitting down next to his best friend he poked her cheek, receiving a pout. These two and sake is a party in itself. There was only one point in time where they both were drunk and were found in Ino's garage, half naked.
"But we don't even know if she was yanking our chain or not." Tenten exclaimed.
"Tenten, I don't think Ino would lie about something like that." The Hyuga replied reaching for her book bag.
Tenten rolled her eyes. In the back of her mind she knew it actually happen since her older brother was at the party and told her too. After begging him to not say anything to their parents, the two were pretty cautious at parties.
"Alright, I've picked out a few problems for you to do. I wanna see how you calculate." Neji explained and handed her a Graphing Calculator.
After a good twelve minutes of pushing buttons into the calculator, chewing on her pencil eraser and mumbling to herself, the panda bun girl sighed. Handing the paper to Neji, she popped a chip into mouth and sat back. Ivory eyes scanned the paper as he hummed to himself. She was skipping steps...he observed. But the equation was fairly easy, however she is required to right everything down instead of just doing it mentally and writing down a bunch of numbers. Taking a red colored pencil, Neji began to mark up her paper. Handing it back, Tenten shot him a look.
"I got this many wrong?!"
"You need to write everything out. It helps you see exactly what you're doing."
"But I used the formula."
"You didn't even write it on the paper, Ten. How am I supposed to know if you're using the right formula?"
Tenten sucked her teeth. She did everything mentally, it wasn't her fault her parents insisted on a tutor who created her mind to be a machine...just not a good one... Taking out another sheet of paper, Neji came up with some questions of his own.
"Now," he said showing her the paper, " these questions require what formula?"
Tenten looked at the numbers.
"The Quadratic Formula." She stated.
"Good. Now what is the quadratic formula?"
Tenten bit her lip. It was 'b' squared over two 'ab' minus...shit... Seeing her struggle, Neji poked her nose, clearing his throat.
"X equals negative B, plus or minus the square root, b squares minus four A C, all over two A." He sang.
Tenten blinked. He just sang her the Quadratic formula. Neji Hyuga just sang her the fucking Quadratic Formula to the tune of 'All around the mulberry bush'.
"Got it?" He asked.
"What the hell was that? Did you just sing math to me?"
Neji chuckled.
"Just sing it to yourself a few times to remember it."
Tenten huffed but did it anyway. After the next seven times, she got it implanted in her head. Handing her the paper, Neji watched as she hummed it to herself, wrote down the formula and proceeded to answer the questions. If she took her time, then she'd definitely get the right answers.
Bzzt.
Neji unlocked his phone and glanced at the message.
"How's it going?" It was Shin-Ten.
"Fine. I fixed the problem. She should be good for her final now." The Hyuga replied.
"What do you mean problem?"
Neji sucked his teeth. Right, Tenten didn't want to tell her brother.
"It's nothing really. I'm just refining her Math skills."
It was a moment before Shin-Ten replied. But it wasn't Neji's phone that buzzed, it was Tenten's.
"Hello?" She answered.
The older brother of Tenten requested to be put on speaker. Setting the phone on the coffee table, Tenten leaned back.
"So, Hyuga," Shin-Ten's voice sounded from the phone.
"Yes?" Neji replied.
"What was the grade of my dear sister's midterm?"
Tenten and Neji exchanged looks. Tenten bit her lip, not saying anything; So, the Hyuga took that as an ok.
"C minus." He announced.
Shin-Ten gave a low whistle. He repeated what the Hyuga had told her in regards to still being able to pass. The bun head groaned, not wanting to hear those same words from her own brother when she knew it was mostly her fault.
"Seeing as though you two have work to do, Tennie will sleep over the weekend and continue to study with you until she takes that Final. Is that clear, Hyuga Neji?" Shin-Ten proclaimed.
Tenten held back a grunt. Sleep over? She hasn't slept over Neji's house in a good few months. However, the Hyuga had no arguments and accepted the terms. He promised to get Tenten at least a B on her final. Hanging up, Tenten sighed. She had no clothing with her, no toiletries, no hair ties. How was she supposed to stay over when she had nothing but her books? Standing, Neji made his way to his room and changed into a pair of sweats. In his arms he carried a pair of shorts and one of his t-shirts for his best friend. Tenten great fully took them and changed in the bathroom. Sitting back down on the couch, Tenten glanced once more at the questions that Neji came up with for her.
"Alright." She handed him her work.
Neji glanced over the paper. Some she got negative numbers, probably due to the fact that she had become aggrivated. And others were correct, but she didn't write down some steps. Showing the work was a big point value. Scribbling down some notes he handed the paper back to her. Tenten scrunched up her nose. Great, one point away from a solid C.
"It'll take time Tenten," Neji said leaning back. "After all your brother gave you permission to stay here and have me tutor you."
"Yeah yeah..." The bun head mumbled.
Days went by and the pair had a set routine. Everyday after classes, Neji would pick Tenten up from her last class and they would leave together to his apartment. With that people began to talk. Tenten and Neji would hear whispers in class about her and her best friend sneaking off together. Or doing naughty things in broom closets or behind the school's court yard.
"Seriously?! Behind the court yard?! What kind of bull is that?!" Tenten screeched as she sat with Neji and Sasuke at one of the lunch tables outside.
"I'll say. I have way more class than that to take you there." Neji replied.
"Exactly!"
Sasuke chuckled. Both he and the Hyuga knew that the rumors were escalating just do to the fact that Neji and Tenten were always seen together on campus. The Uchiha knew that the rumors didn't phase Neji, he was above all that. But Tenten, on the other hand, was a bit more sensitive to information such as this. What made it historical is that the two jokes about it so casually that they just became comfortable with the whole situation.
"So, what have you two been doing then?" Sasuke asked eating his tomato salad.
"Trying to get me on the Dean's List." Tenten replied picking up her chopsticks and opening her beef and broccoli.
Sasuke cocked an eyebrow and glanced at Neji, who elaborated the situation. The raven haired Uchiha shrugged, the Dean's List was just a way to keep track of the University's top students; who was excelling in their field and who just partied all night long. Tenten huffed, of course Sasuke didn't give three shits, he and Neji were natural born geniuses...those bastards.
"Have you heard from Naruto?" Neji asked changing the subject.
Sasuke nodded. The blonde had taken his chance to study abroad in America. He was placed in New York City and sent the Uchiha many selfies next to land marks and statues.
"It's nice to see his acting has taken him to America." Tenten said.
Sasuke shrugged. It was a start. Neji checked his watch. It was almost time for Tenten's next class, which was Advanced Trig. Offering her his hand, Neji pulled her up and grabbed their bags.
"Later, Sasuke!" Tenten smiled at him before turning and walking towards the Math building.
"Hyuga, I suggest the showers in the locker room for next time! Less clean up!" The Uchiha called out to Neji.
Tenten's face beamed red and Neji chuckled. Turning around, the Hyuga presented his perfectly manicured middle figure to the Uchiha, grinning and turning back round.
"Love you too, man!" Sasuke smirked as he finished his lunch and headed to the Library.
"I want a break!" Tenten exclaimed sprawling out on the bed.
Neji nodded and went to the kitchen to make some food. Another long day. A girl came up to Tenten and picked a fight with her. It took Neji and Sasuke to hold her back from breaking the metal pole from her desk and bashing in the girls head.
"Hey, Neji."
"Yeah?"
"Is it true that you're amazing at sex?"-
Neji froze and cocked an eyebrow. He wasn't sure how to answer that question. Tenten shrugged. Another girl came up to her and asked her of he was. Tenten felt a little bad that she couldn't answer her since the girl seemed actually curious since the rumors were circulating.
"I don't know. You tell me?" He replied. Putting down the bowl of popcorn.
"Oh please, I was so drunk that night you think I remember what happen?" Tenten huffed.-
Scratching the back of his neck. Neji sat down next to her. Tenten rested her head on his lap and looked up at him.
"I have to say I'm curious too. Since you're supposedly the father of every fan girl's baby in the University."
Neji scoffed. He would never, Tenten knew that. Neji sighed and looked down at her.
"Well, would you like to find out?"
Tenten blinked.
Wait-what?
"Will it tame your curiosity?" He continued.
Tenten had no words. She just looked at him in shock. He was actually offering to have sex with her to settle that question. Her face turned red at the thought of having sex, sober no less, with Neji. This time she'd remember it, she thought. But with this, she can have bragging rights that one; Gorgeous Neji Hyuga was her best friend. And Two: they had sober sex. The quality of it was to be announced.
"Uh..."
Smirking, the Hyuga lifted her up and brought her to his room. Tenten squirmed as he gently laid her down on his bed and began to kiss her. She couldn't remember the last time they kissed, probably because she was pissed drunk. Tenten jumped when his hands managed to sneak under her shirt, and behind her back to her bra strap. Oh boy, she thought.
"Sit up a bit," he whispered.
And so she did. His fingers managed to unclasp the clips. Tenten held her breath. They were seriously doing this? Seriously? They were DOING THIS! The bun head could seriously never imagine a day in her life that she would be doing this with him. What shocked her the most is that he knew exactly what he was doing. What the hell? She thought. He hasn't slept with anyone! At least none that she knew of. He also had a thing for his cousin Hinata, but he'd never since she was with Naruto. But if he got the chance he would, she knew. Hinata, however, only loved him as a brother. She knew he was a bit heartbroken when Hinata announced that she was dating the blonde. But he got over it pretty quickly. As long as she was happy were his thoughts.
"Eep!" Tenten squealed as his lips brushed passed her navel.
Neji looked up curiously. She was blushing like crazy, and looked adorable. He didn't dare smirk. She'd kill him if he did. Softly he told her to lift up her arms so he could take off her shirt. Looking away, Tenten did. Neji lifted the garment over her head, the loose bra dangling from its straps. Neji froze. Oh, he thought. He never really got a a good look at breasts of any kind of he wasn't in one of his anatomy classes back in high school. This will be his first time seeing breasts...his best friend's breasts no less... So casually. Tenten watched him as he leaned in and slowly slipped down the piece of lingerie from her bosom.
Oh.
Tenten's hands shot straight to his eyes after a good second.
"N-Neji!"
Oh.
Gulping, Neji removed her hands from his eyes. So this is what breasts look like on a real girl. He thought. Totally not awkward, cause it's just Tenten...
Right...?
Neji reached over and placed his hand on one of them. She had to be a C cup. Neji admitted, he always wondered her bra size since she wore baggy clothing all the time. But this was a nice surprise. Tenten noticed Neji's eyes go wide once he touched her.
"Erm... What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing... It's just...I never expected you to be...so-"
"I'm not that large. Like a C." Tenten murmured.
Oh, nailed it. Neji thought to himself. Slowly, he kissed her collar bone and rubbed his thumb against her nipple. Tenten muffled a moan. Ok, she thought. How the fuck does he know how to do this stuff?! Once he heard her sound, he stopped.
"Uh, sorry...I thought-"
"No no no...it's fine...perfectly fine!" She said in a high pitch covering her beet red face.
Neji sweat dropped but nodded. He couldn't read her like this. He was just doing what the romance novels suggest. He hoped that he wasn't hurting her... Leaning in, he kissed the inner part of her chest. Kami she smelled amazing. It was this scent...like a girlie scent. Tenten bit her lip. This is totally awkward, she thought. He was feeling her up! and they weren't even drunk! Tenten sat up fully suddenly. Enough was enough. Neji was taken aback. He looked at her questionable. Pushing him down, she smashed their lips together and began to unbutton his shirt. There was no way in hell she would be the only one naked during this session. Neji was shocked indeed. He knew she was an aggressive person, but even in bed? He thought, he needed to get back in control. Shrugging off his shirt when she finally unbuttoned it, he buried his face into her chest, causing her to arch her back, her body pressing against his. Oh that made him excited. He lightly trailed his fingers down her stomach to her belt. But Tenten was already trying to unbuckle his, that damn Rubrics Cube... That's when he found it. The sensitive spot on her collar bone. The bun head had gasped. Neji let out a smirk. Oh yes. After undoing her belt and unbuttoning the top of her pants he looked at her.
"Ready?" He asked softly, his own face growing a shade of deep red.
"Yeah." Was the reply.
And off went the pants.
"Holy shit." Tenten panted as she laid on his bed under his covers.
Neji let out a sigh, holy shit indeed.
"That was way better sober." Neji commented running a hand through his hair.
"I'll say!"
They both let out a laugh before becoming quiet. What did this mean? They didn't know. It was obvious their feeling for each other. But did they want to commit to that now?
"You know,"
"Hm?" He looked at her.
"If I get pregnant, my father will kill you." Tenten said.
"Hn." He grunted.
Tenten hit him with a pillow. He smiled softly. If they were to think about it, they were kind of like a married couple, Tenten pointed out. Neji questioned her. They've been at each other's side since high school;
"I've put up with your shit and you put up with mine," she said. "And we both baby sit Lee...kind of."
Neji laughed. Of course, he thought. Turning on his side he looked at the clock. So much for studying...he needed to take her home soon. Tenten rolled out of bed and pranced to the bathroom. A few moments later she emerged, dressed in sweats and one of his T-Shirts. It was Neji's turn to shower. Tenten waited on his couch cross legged as she packed her bag. Her mind was a bit scrambled...she just had sober sex with her best friend instead of studying for her final. How did they even get to that point in the first place? Whatever, she shrugged to herself, it is what it is.
"Ready?" Neji asked walking up to her fully dressed.- Nodding she stood and grabbed her sweater from the coat hanger. They were silent in the car. Awkward, they sighed. But was it really? Stopping in front of her house, Neji looked over at her.
"Well?" He asked.
"Well what?"
"Am I something to brag about?"
Tenten smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, Hyuga." She replied playfully.
"I take that as a yes." Neji said smirking.
Before she was able to climb out of his expensive automobile, the genius grabbed her wrist and pulled her in for a kiss. Releasing her, he looked her dead in the face.
"Same time tomorrow?"
Tenten blinked.
"You better get me at least a B."
"Of course," he smirked. "Have I ever let you down?"
Tenten sucked her teeth. No...he has never let her down... Winking at him, she walked to her door. After pulling out her keys, she flashed him a smile before disappearing behind her door.
"Heh." Neji sighed to himself as he drove back home.
"NEJI!"
Neji looked up from his book. Tenten was sprinting up to him, a smile on her face. He wasn't expecting her to jump on him, but when she did, he was trampled into the ground and embraced tightly.
"Tenten? What is it?" Neji asked.
The bun head shoved a packet of papers into his face. I'm bold bred marker, there showed a 'B+'. Neji smiled. She was indeed proud of herself, he noted. Tenten was grinning widely as he have her a thumbs up. He knew she could do it. Still straddling him, she grabbed his face and kissed him fiercely.
"I fucking love you, Neji!" She exclaimed.
Neji blinked, processing what she just said. It was because of the grade, he thought. She meant it then he smiled
"I love you too, Tenten."
