Drabble Fifty-Six: Nothing (110)

Pairing: NejiTen

Warning: No warning.

She smiled at him, a brief twist of her facial muscles. Her honey-colored eyes regarded him silently, and he wondered why she always looked at him like that. Wondered when she started to look at him like that.

His mind vaguely recalled brief glimpses like that back when they were Academy students, back when they were Genin. Hints of warmth from years ago, that she still projected today.

"Tenten…" he murmured, staring after her as she turned from him.

She hummed her response, her fingers lacing behind her. His eyes trailed the expanse of golden skin, a rare sight these days, before stopping at her neck. "What's up, Neji?"

"…Nothing."
