Chapter 21
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto XD
In the last chapter:
Everyone agreed that Naruto would have to know one day, but no one planned for it to be today- let alone Neji to be the one who slipped up with his words.
"Nice going, asshole." Someone congratulated, soft and quiet claps echoing in the halls.
"Tenten..."
-
Neji hadn't thought that this day could get any worse. Not only had he embarrassed himself earlier by attempting to tease Tenten, and slipped up and told Naruto Hinata's not-so-much-of-a-secret secret feelings for him, but Tenten was one of the people who witnessed his embarrassing mistake.
"Tenten, what are you...?"
With her arms crossed in front of her chest and an eye brow raised, the bun haired brunette stared at Neji like she was demanding for an answer, silencing him with just one look.
"Look, I don't want to deal with you right now." Neji sighed once he regained his composure. He didn't understand how someone like Tenten could have such a strong affect on him- especially with her stern stares.
He walked past her, planning to go after Naruto and hopefully receive forgiveness from Hinata. It was- and with no doubt- his fault after all.
"I wouldn't go after them if I were you." Tenten advised, her voice low and threatening. "You might as well as wait after the confessions are over. I mean, it was you who brought it up in the first place."
"Don't lecture me," Neji hissed, his lavender eyes glaring at the girl who was now walking beside him. "And I have to apologize."
"Ino was right," Tenten hummed, ignoring Neji's comment. "You'd make an awful father."
"Are you seriously going to bring that up again?" Neji growled, his steps growing quicker. He wanted nothing more right now than to reach their room, where no one would be able to hear them converse about their earlier discussion at the beach with Ino.
"Yes."
The two brunette's entered their shared bedroom, immediately sitting down on their beds, their thoughts occupied by what happened earlier with Ino.
Flashback—
"Wow, you guys sound just like a married couple." Ino interjected, smiling as Sai stood right beside her. "And honestly, Neji, you'd make a horrible father."
"I-Ino!?" Tenten stammered, making the said blonde female's smile widen. "What are you doing here?"
"Date," Ino replied, "remember?"
"O...oh..right!"
"What about you two," Ino's piercing blue eyes stared into Tenten's. "going out on a date too?"
"No we were...were just hanging out with the others!" Tenten answered, her voice growing louder. "Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto are here too."
"Is that so?"
Tenten hummed.
"We aren't married," Neji blurted out, "I'd marry anyone but her."
Tenten clicked her tongue. She was doing everything in her power to not talk about Ino's comment on being a married couple. But thanks to Neji himself, it seemed impossible to stray away from the topic now.
"Oh?" Ino smirks. And so began a torturous 20 minutes of teasing for Tenten and a confusing 20 minutes for Neji.
Flashback end—
"So what?" Neji growled. "I know what I did wrong."
"You don't understand," Tenten sighed, her hands dropping down to her sides. "She needs space."
"No she doesn't."
"Yes she does."
"No."
"Yes."
"NO."
"YES."
The two brunettes argued, their voices growing louder and louder, which attracted Sasuke's and Sakura's attention.
"What do you think is happening?" Sakura asked. Sasuke shrugged. An awkward silence still hung around, now accompanied with a cold one as Sasuke didn't like Max from the restaurant.
"Is...is something wrong Sasuke..?" Sakura quietly, and hesitantly, asked. However, he didn't answer. His silence proved that there was, in fact, something wrong.
"Did I do something wrong?" Sakura voice grew softer as she looked down at the carpeted floor.
"No." Sasuke answered, his voice ringing in Sakura's head.
"Something's bothering you..."
"So?"
"I...I just want to help you.."
"..."
Sasuke glared hard at the carpeted floors as he remembered the face of Max who unconsciously flirted with Sakura.
"Just...just stay away from people like Max."
"Max?"
"Stay away from them. They could be players for all we know."
Sasuke stares out of the window aimlessly.
"Hold on..." A small smile starts to form on Sakura's lips.
"Are you...jealous?"
A/N: I keep saying this over and over again and it's probably annoying now, but I'm sorry for not updating. School wasn't that bad actually, it's just that I've been confused lately. Confused about my feelings and stuff. And I've got a friend who is amazing and he's just AGHHHH!! But I have this doubt and feeling that he likes my friend so I don't wanna bother them and stuff. So I don't know anymore ;-;
If you've read all of this then you, my friend, are an amazing person. Have some cake 🍰.
