The next day was a complete blur, merely consisting of avoiding Professor Hyuuga by sitting in the back of the class and agreeing to be Kiba's "girlfriend" for all intents and purposes. Friday I simply skipped all together. I knew he would be giving a review which I could copy from Sasuke. I didn't know the guy very well but he made perfect grades and wasn't one of the females drooling over the one who shall not be named therefore would have a pristine copy of the review i could probably get for $20 or so. By Saturday I'm so ready for a day of R and R. What I never expected was for my professor to show up on my stoop all sweaty and panting.
"I was um...in the neighborhood and figured you'd need the review." I stare open mouthed at his flawless upper body. Shirtless and defined, white shorts barely hanging onto his hips; oh God. My brain catches up and notices the Ipod attached to his toned arm, hinting to his probable earlier workout.
"Fuck me." I whisper in reverence. His smirk beams at me, and its obvious he heard. I blush and grimace causing his face to fall.
"Can I, maybe come in?" I cock my brow at him but step in allowing him to pass. He smells like grass and Neji one of my favorites. "I missed you in class." I shrug. "Were you feeling OK?" I nod. He frowns. "How long are you gonna ignore me. The whole silent treatment thing is a little juvenile." I glare causing him to grin.
"You treat me like I'm in fucking preschool anyway, what's it matter." He purses his lips bringing a pregnant pause.
"Tenten...are you seriously dating Inuzuka." I roll my eyes at him.
"That's what this is about? Dear God, he's just a guy I'm with. Get off his nuts." His face is hard, but somehow impassive.
"He's not good for you."
"Fuck you." I reply, livid.
"I need...to take care of you. It's a subconscious thing; please Tenten." He begs taking my hands in his, tugging me closer. "I can't watch you be hurt and used by these guys. You've always been so easy to keep safe...I never thought you'd run out in to traffic just to spite me."
"How do you know I don't like Kiba?" He gives me a crooked smile.
"You don't look at him like you do me."
"Well isn't that just peachy...look I'm busy." I try to shove him out the door. His hand grips my wrist, and he smirks looking me over noticing my sweatpants and pink tank.
"Big date, huh?" He questions, chuckling. His other hand reaches down to brush my jaw and he leans in. I gasp and turn, letting his lips barely graze my cheek. His lips then find their way into my hair, and Neji holds me against him.
"Tenten? I love you." I drop to my knees at his feet and stare up at him. His brow furrows.
"Isn't that what you expected.? For me to bow at your feet." His jaw tightens and he pulls me to my feet.
"I am in love with you." I roll my eyes.
"You're an asshole."
"Why don't you believe me? Isn't that what you want? For me to confess my feelings." He practically scoffs, I shrug
"Convenient timing much?"
"Tenten" He sounds testy.
"Why wouldn't you tell me before then, huh? Why would you wait till I'm running away from you to tell me that?"
"Because you don't love me." Neji whispers, my jaw drops and I stumble back.
"I...I don't what." He stares at the wall to his right
"You've been in love with me sense you were, what, 15? You don't know what love is. Still here I am, all fucking hung up on this little girl who keeps confessing her feelings for me. I couldn't just take you...I want you forever." I open my mouth to comment, but Neji continues. "One day your gonna find some guy you really love, and I'll be stuck here, stuck on you, like a damn pedophile. I can't be that guy. So I've chased off guy, after fucking guy, that wanted you. So I can keep you around. all to myself. If you never get a boyfriend, I can keep indulging in you. Now some prick slid through the cracks, and I'm lucky enough that you don't really like him; but that doesn't change the fact that...what you think you feel and what I know I feel. They're different. You think I'm cute, but damn it that won't last forever. Your 5 years younger, not leaving me a big gap for my pretty points to run out." I swallow back my tears, not sure what to say. "Well? Say something." I gape.
"Like what? You think I'm gonna just get over my crush some day? I've liked you for years. I've watched you, wanted to know you. You never let me in, and then you toyed with me. I never knew what to think, but I took it because that's all you gave me. I want...more."
"For now" He states distraught. I take his face in my hands.
"Damn it Neji...what do you ever know about me? Why do you get to decide who I love, and who I'm crushing on?" He smirks, placing his hand over mine.
"I know a lot. I know your favorite color is white...because of my eyes. I know you tried to learn piano, so I'd play with you, but couldn't. I know you wake up every morning at 7:30. I know you steal my cologne.. I know you like your sandwiches with the crust cut off. I know you dream about me." I put my hand over his mouth, cutting him off, tears brimming my eyes.
"You payed attention to me?" I croak, he smiles.
"We have history...and i know you watch me, and don't doubt I try my hardest to look cool when you do." I laugh and sniffle.
"I love you." He shakes his head, looking disappointed. "Damn it, try." His head snaps up in confusion. "Give me a chance to fall in love with you, or out of love, or whatever the hell you think I'm doing. If I do find someone else." He grimaces. "Use your dang charming skills to get me back...I...only want you." Neji purses his lips. "Please?" I lean up, to brush my lips against his. I sigh when our lips meet and I feel him smile into the kiss. Pulling away quickly, I wait for an answer.
"You have to promise...promise me forever." I laugh. Lacing my pinky with his, and kissing our intertwined fingers.
"Forever, Professor."
