Differences

NejiXTenten. A random conversation on their way home from a mission that led to the realization that opposites attract. Both of them are nineteen years old. I guess they have developed a level of closeness in this fic. I mean come on, they've been with each other for so long!

If I own Naruto, I'll call it Neji.

Chapter One: Smile and Scowl

The mission went well and they were on their way home. Tenten glanced at the Byakugan wielder one more time. He returned the glance this time.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Why do you always have that scowl on your face?"

"What a useless question."

"There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers."

"I didn't say stupid. I said useless."

"So why do you always have that scowl on your face?"

He didn't give an answer. He quickened his pace, leaving her behind.

"Then you avoid me… for someone like you, I think I'm asking an easy question…" She said as she hurried to his side.

"What's your point?"

"All I'm saying is we did a good job with our mission so it wouldn't hurt to loosen up a bit!"

"It's the same as asking why you always have that silly smile on your face."

"It makes me feel good. And I know it makes the people around me feel good too. Simple, isn't it?" She said, smiling brightly.

"Scowling for one whole day is tiring. The muscles on your face must be so strained by now… I mean, you've been like that since we were at the academy." She continued.

"Thank you for the concern but my muscles are none of your business."

"That's not exactly true…" She said as she crossed her arms.

He paused, staring at her. What's going on with her, he thought. He recalled the previous incidents of that day and he was sure she didn't down a bottle of sake.

"I think you're better off without that scowl… you don't want to look like your uncle, do you?"

"And what does that have to do with you?"

"If you just look a bit more welcoming… I might consider dating you!"

I had this idea while taking a shower at one in the morning so sorry if it's err... crazy... I don't know.

Please let me know if you want to read the rest of their talk.
