Neji is Blind......Literally

Tenten's pink lips curled downward as she reached the life devastating conclusion…

Hyuuga Neji. Was.

Blind.

Figuratively, of course.

But he was still blind.

So he had an almost three hundred sixty degree vision.

But… he couldn't see that his female teammate has some feelings for him.

No scratch that.

She was head over heels in love with him.

Example one: Give him a love note.

Yes, Tenten actually ran up to him, stuffed the note into his face, and ran off. A lot braver than other girls who just approached him, then ten feet away they'd run off.

Let's see…

A love note.

An embarrassed Tenten.

A Hyuuga Neji.

And what did he do?

Call her.

Okay, so far so good…

Tell her he valued her as a sparring partner…

Kinda good…

Then arrange a spar at 5. The next morning.

All his progress just suddenly came crashing down like the stock market.

After she hung up, she has slammed her forehead on the wall, noticing that pictures in picture frames had fallen down. Oh well. She glanced at them wearily. Who cared about picture frames when the love of your life just missed the point of your note? A love note? Dear god, it's near impossible to miss the point of a love note.

Example two: She actually said 'I love you' to his face.

Yes. It was true. She had arranged to meet him in the Konoha forest to confess her love.

At exactly 4, he arrived. Not a millisecond late. Talk about punctuality…

"Tenten? You wanted to say something?" he asked.

She shivered slightly. That voice of his…. So deep… so rich… so… sexy… she loved it.

"Um. Yeah Neji, I wanted to say…. Um… wellllllllllllllll…"

"Tenten. Spill it."

She took a deep breath and straightened up. She stared him straight in the eye, "Hyuuga Neji, I love you."

They stared at each other for ten seconds. Then Tenten's face started to turn a brilliant shade of red.

Neji smirked, "Oh you do, do you?"

Her eyes widened, "You KNEW?"

"Yes Tenten. I love you too."

Her jaw nearly dropped. This was too good to be true. Neji… had just said he loved her. Now Sasuke was going to admit his undying love for Sakura… or Sakura will admit her love for Naruto…

"As a sparring partner."

Now her jaw really dropped. As a sparring partner? A SPARRING PARTNER?

He turned around and left a shocked and stunned Tenten who was thinking, "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?"

Example three: She actually kissed him. On the lips.

It had all started with a normal spar.

Since it was normal… Neji won.

in this situation, Neji was now on top of her. Staring into her eyes. She stared into his. Quite romantic, actually. But quite a strange position.

Then sometime in this staring contest, Tenten's hand had somehow jumped up to the back of Neji's head and smashed his head down onto hers, making their lips make direct contact.

She tilted her head to deepen the kiss. Since he hadn't pulled back yet, she guessed that he wanted this… or so she thought.

"Wow Tenten, kissing a shadow clone?"

Her eyes widened as she pushed the fake Neji off of her, and saw the real one standing a few yards away, arms crossed and that oh-so-annoying-yet-sexy smirk on his face.

She blushed heavily as she heard the fake Neji disappear with a 'poof'.

"HYUUGA NEJI!"

Present

So now here we are.

A Tenten lying under a Neji.

A Neji on top of a Tenten.

The two alone in a clearing.

Right after a spar.

Tenten could feel Neji's breath on her lips.

She blushed at the close-ness between her and Neji.

"Tenten…"

"H-hai?"

"…I love you."

"Yes yes I know as a spa-"

"No. I love you."

"…Um. As in boyfriend girlfriend love? Or family love?"

"Boyfriend girlfriend."

She blushed heavily, "Neji… I love you too…"

"…Really?"

And here is where Tenten almost slapped him, "YES OF COURSE I LOVED YOU, MY GOD I GAVE YOU A FREAK'N LOVE NOTE, I ADMITTED THAT I LOVED YOU, I EVEN KISSED YOU!"

"That was a clone."

"STILL!"

Neji's lips suddenly crashed down onto hers. Before she had the time to react, his tongue had already made its way into her mouth, and his hand cupping her face.

Tenten placed her hand on Neji's back, pulling him closer, enjoying the feeling.

Finally, he pulled back and smirked.

Tenten smiled slightly, "I didn't just kiss a shadow clone again, did I?"

"No you didn't."

She smiled.

"Hey Tenten…"

"Hmm?"

"…You really love me?"
