Spawned from nostalgia, and love of NejiTen. Enjoy.

Wonder

He doesn't quite hear her footsteps, but he senses her getting nearer; it's been too long since his heart has fluttered like this. Tentatively, but by no means unwillingly, she sits by his side, her scrolls finding a place in the roots of the tree.

She knows he doesn't quite know how to respond as he ponders, both hands locked in his lap, but she hopes that he will. With wide eyed wonder, and not a little naivety, he opens his silver eyes and looks at her.

She sighs and he moves closer.

He almost smiles as she rests her head on his shoulder.

"I'm home, Neji," she whispers.

"I know, Tenten."
