In the last chapter:

"Now Tenten, Neji," Lee said as he placed both his arms on Neji's and Tenten's shoulders, "Let us embrace our youth together and get ready for gym class!"

-

Tenten collapsed on the grass; panting. Their gym teacher, Gai, made them all run 5 laps outside on the track. And to make things worse, she and Neji had a race to see who was fastest.
She didn't like the results, as she had lost to the lavender eyed jerk.
"Get up loser." Neji's deep voice said. "Get lost, jerk face." Tenten replied as she covered her face with her arm. She was still out of breath and angry at herself.
"Don't tell me you're crying. Only idiots do that." Neji insulted. "Well only assholes would say that." Tenten grunted. She stood up but felt her legs go wobbly. The brunette lost her balance and then crashed into Neji. "What do you think you're doing?" Neji growled as he glared at the bun haired girl.
The two had landed in an awkward position; Tenten on top of Neji while both her arms were beside the Hyuga's face.
Tenten, not saying a single word, tried to stand up. However, she felt a sharp pain on her left ankle. She cursed as she rolled off of Neji, examining her now swollen ankle.
Neji also sat up and his gaze wandered over from Tenten's swollen ankle to her pained expression. His eyes narrowed as Tenten bit her lip; her hands shaking. The male crouched down and scanned her ankle. "You sprained it." He mused. "You have to go to the nurses office."
Tenten stared at Neji and her pained expression was soon replaced by a terrified one. "Anko's going to kill me!" She screamed and tried to stand up. "Are you mental?" Neji asked as he stared at the girl in front of him in disbelief. "Yes! I mean, no. Maybe..." Tenten stuttered as her face flushed. Neji clicked his tongue as he placed his hands on his hips. "Look since I'm being kind—"
"Wow, I didn't know a rock like you had a heart." Tenten interjected. "If you interrupt me again and I won't help you out." Neji threatened. "Alright, alright. Sorry." Tenten apologized. "As I was saying," Neji continued, "I'll help you get to the nurses office."
"Why?" Tenten asked quietly. Neji raised an eyebrow and stared at the bun haired girl in bewilderment, "What do you mean?"
"Why would you help me? I insulted you yet you're willing to help me. So why?" Tenten asked again. Neji stared at Tenten's puzzled face. Her eyes held pain, sorrow, and confusion. He felt his cheeks grow warm and he hoped she didn't see it.
"This is a one time thing only, idiot." Neji replied as he crossed his arms and looked away.
Tenten couldn't help but laugh at the male. Neji tilted his head slightly and stared at the giggling girl in front of him. He let out a troubled sigh as he extended his hand, "Let's go."

-

"Holy crap, you're heavy!" Neji complained. "Then why the hell are you carrying me?!" Tenten yelled as she hit his head. Neji cursed but kept walking.

  The two brunettes were now by the entrance doors. Neji had offered to carry Tenten. She had declined his offer but he still carried her anyways.
"What the hell do you eat?" Neji asked. "Food. Unlike you who doesn't need any because you're a human rock." Tenten snapped. "I'm trying to be nice here." Neji says. "Well try harder!" Tenten replied sassily. Neji clicked his tongue and a scowl appeared on his face.
They soon made it back to the gym and  grabbed their bags. Neji gently placed Tenten down on a nearby bench and grabbed her bag from her; putting both his and hers on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Tenten asked as Neji started to come closer to the bun haired girl. He walked slowly and was now carrying her bridal style. Tenten's heart was now pounding in her chest as this was her first time being close to a boy. "Why are you—" she questioned.
"It's easier this way." Neji answered, like he already knew what she was going to ask (which he did).
The rest of their journey to the nurses office was in silence. Neither of them bothered to speak (Tenten being flustered whilst Neji was focused on walking and carrying Tenten in his arms).
They had finally made it to the office and were greeted by none other than the schools nurse, Joy. She gasped as she saw Tenten's swollen ankle. "What happened?" She asked as Neji placed Tenten down on a plastic chair. "She sprained her ankle during gym." Neji explained as the nurse grabbed some ice. "How awful!" Nurse Joy says as she treated Tenten's ankle. Just then the door opened and another student came in. He had a large cut on his arm and Nurse Joy gasped again. "Oh dear, so much injuries! Young man, can you please make sure this woman's ankle is well iced?" She asked. Neji nodded as he took a seat beside Tenten and gently pressed the ice on her swollen ankle.
"It's so cold!" Tenten complained. "Of course it is. It's ice, you idiot." Neji replied as he kept staring at Tenten's ankle. "Well it's cold like your heart." Tenten muttered. Neji didn't reply and the silence had engulfed them. The only sound in the room was the ticking of the clock and the occasional curses of the boy who had the large cut.
Soon both Nurse Joy and the boy came back. She gave Neji some comprehensive bandages. "Her sprain seems like it's a mild one. I have to escort this young man to the office so I ask for you to wrap that around her ankle." Nurse Joy instructed. The lavender eyed male nodded and the nurse added, "They say a kiss helps things heal faster."
And with that she left both the brunettes alone in the office.
