Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream

"Nejiiiiii!"

The mentioned boy opened one of his oh-so-famous-makes-fangirls-swoon eyes, "Hn."

Tenten grinned, tugging lightly at his wrist, "Let's go get ice cream!"

"…Tenten, I seriously hate sweet things."

She pouted, "But I like sweet things!"

"Well I hate them."

"Well I like them!"

"Well I hate them."

Tenten sighed, dropping his hand in defeat, "All right… guess I'll go get ice cream while you listen to Gai and Lee's youth proclamation speech…" she sighed again, and began to walk away.

"W-wait Tenten, I'll go with you!"

XxOoOoOoOxX

"Neji, what kind of ice cream do you want?"

Neji blinked, "Anything not sweet."

"My my, what a sweet couple," an elderly woman said sweetly, "The famous Hyuuga Neji, and the one and only weapons mistress of Konoha… my my…"

Tenten blushed, "We're not a couple!"

"My my…"

Apparently the elder woman was a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit deaf.

"Gomen nasai, but what she said is true."

"Couples should share ice cream!" she said happily, walking up to the counter, "Three scoops of chocolate chip ice cream for the young couple please!"

"WAIT, MA'AM…"

"WE'RE NOT A…"

"My my, how oh-so very sweet!" she chortled, and left the shop.

"…Neji, I really can't finish all that."

"…Too bad."

The two stared at the huge bowl, "What happened to three scoops?"

"There's a million here."

The two sat across from each other in a small booth, staring at the ice cream laid in front of them. Around 10 scoops of ice cream, two spoons sticking out of it for each of them, chocolate sauce crisscrossed over the treat, and a maraschino cherry on top, for the finishing touch.

"…Oh come on Neji, you train so much you'll train all this off within 5 minutes."

"Tch," he muttered, poking it, "It's not that, I naturally hate sweet things."

Tenten frowned, and took a bite, "How can you hate sweet things?"

He shrugged, replacing the spoon, "I just do."

"Meh," she muttered, "So, how's your mother?"

"…That has to be the randomnest question ever."

"Well I know about your father," she paused as he cringed, "You never mentioned your mother though."

"…My mother er. Well, it's kinda hard to put this in words…"

"Huh?"

"…I have no idea who my mother is."

"…WHAT?"

He crossed his arms, "Well I don't. She either died before I even opened my eyes, or she ran out. My father never mentioned her before… well you know."

She frowned, "Oh," she said simply, sympathy in her voice.

"…So what about your parents."

Her head snapped up, "You really wanna know?"

"…Why not."

She grinned, "Well they died too."

…..

"How can you be so damn cheerful while saying your parents died?"

She shrugged, "No one ever really cared enough to ask me, I guess. It's kinda a surprise, but in a good way to know someone cares enough."

She giggled as she took another bite, "Neji, this is really good."

"Meh."

She frowned as she took another spoonful, waving it in front of his face, "Neeejiiii…."

"…"

Without a warning, Tenten stuffed the spoon into his mouth when he opened it, probably to say, "No."

As she pulled her spoon out of his mouth, she watched him painfully swallow it, "You really hate sweet things that much?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I dunno."

She sighed as she took another bite, "I'm serious Neji, don't make me feed you again."

"I didn't tell you to feed me."

XxOoOoOoOxX

"It's so sweet!"

"Aww…."

"Tenten fed him? Wow Neji. Wow. You are one lucky ass."

"Shut up Kiba!"

"You shuddup!"

"This outfit is killing me!" Ino wailed, pulling off a hat and a large overcoat, stuffing falling out as she threw her cane to the right.

"You did a good job Ino!"

"Yeah! Long live Ino!"

Ino grinned, "I know I know. Now let's watch them!"

XxOoOoOoOoOxX

"Hyuuga Neji."

"Tenten."

The two glared, "Finish that."

Tenten poked the melting ice cream, "Hey Neji…"

"Hn."

"…Do you like anyone?"

"No."

Damnit. If he said yes I still had a chance…

"But I do love someone," he continued, staring out the window.

She blinked, "Really? Who?"

He smirked as she took another large bite.

"You."

He leaned in, over the table and pressed his lips against hers, prying her mouth open, some of the ice cream spilling into his mouth.

He pulled back a few seconds later, a bit pink in the face.

Tenten on the other hand, was completely red, "I-I thought you didn't like sweet things?"

Well she still had pride to keep.

"Ice cream is better shared."
