I'm sorry to say, but this story is probably going to enter yet another forced hiatus. This is a story that mainly revolves around the romantic feelings between Naruto and Tenten. Several writers out there will be with me when I say that our feelings when we are writing seep into the story.
The girl I 'loved' (or I thought so) dumped me for my best friend. I found out about it today. Right now, I'm drunk up my ass trying to forget. It doesn't work. As you can see, this isn't the best environment to write a romance story. And it hurts me to stay away of this because I finally had the story completely planned out. New original arc and everything. But I wouldn't like to try to write a romantic separation and make it seem like the whimpers of a sorry excuse of man.
Then again, maybe tomorrow I'll feel better and inspired and begin writing anew. But don't get your hopes too high.
This fic will come back. I'm writing notes so I don't forget the ideas I had while thinking of this.
…
This seems a little plain, so I'll write in 10 min. something that was in my head for a while. I'm drunk, don't try to reason with me.
In this short story, Tenten celebrates with Naruto his graduation to gennin (Set after current arc. Not in the correct place for reasons stated above).
~~~~OMAKE~~~~
"Come on, Tenten, why do I have to go on with this?"
"Because I said so, is it enough for you?"
"…"
"Look, when you graduated, I couldn't celebrate it with you, because…" An awkward silence came over the young couple that was walking through the streets of Konoha. They both knew exactly WHY the boy didn't celebrate his graduation from the academy. "Anyway, you owe me this for that time on the roof."
"What?"
Tenten turned around and glared at Naruto's eyes. Right then, something clicked inside Naruto's mind. 'Never, NEVER, act against a woman's orders. Much less if said woman can pull out hundreds of pointy and sharp weapons from nowhere.' The blond nodded his head and began to walk with 'renewed energies'.
Kiba was forcefully separated from the microphone by a swarm of angry bugs and a barrage of sharp kunai after an 'interesting' dual interpretation of 'Who let the dogs out!" with Akamaru.
"If I had known he would sing this bad, I wouldn't have invited him," came the annoyed voice of Tenten. It was not that bad, Tenten-chan. Kiba is just… a little… too… energetic." Naruto tried to defend his friend. The duo had found Kiba and Shino in front of the karaoke bar they were currently at and had invited them to celebrate together, seeing as Kiba and Naruto had been somewhat comrades throughout the academy years.
Tenten looked at the blond through the sides of her eyes. "Energetic? He was bouncing between the speakers and Akamaru was jumping behind him!"
"Yeah, well. You're lucky he didn't go Tsuuga on the place. There was this one time…"
"Stop, I don't even want to know. Anyway, it's your turn, Naruto."
"Eh? Me?"
"Well, of course! Who else?"
"But… it's embarrassing…"
Tenten's lips curled in a devious smirk. "Oh? Is the great Uzumaki Naruto afraid of singing a little song?"
Shino was the only one who caught the dangerous glint in the blond's eyes. It said 'Two can play this game and you're up against the master'. "Ok, but you're coming with me."
"What? I can't sing, I'm tone-deaf."
"Lies. Your singing voice is beautiful. Besides, you won't even have to sing."
After some (a lot of) convincing from the boys, Tenten came up on the scenario besides Naruto. When the first chords of the song began to play, Naruto stared deeply into Tenten's eyes and began to sing.
(Accidentally in Love, by Counting Crows. Imagine Naruto leading Tenten with the song (spinning, jumping…)
So she said, "What's the problem baby?" How much longer will it take to cure this Come on, come on
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love, think about it every time
I think about it, can't stop thinking 'bout it
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing about love
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love
At this point, Naruto used the short riff to stare deeply and lovingly into the brunette's eyes. She had chosen to wear her hair down that night, so every twist and turn meant coming closer to the sweet aroma that it carried through the air, and it made it difficult to concentrate on the song.
So I said, "I'm a snowball running" Well baby I surrender to the strawberry ice cream These lines of lightning Come on, come on Come on, come on
Running down into the spring
That's coming all this love melting under
Blue skies belting out sunlight, shimmering love
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
Mean we're never alone
Never alone, no, no
Move a little closer
Come on, come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, come on
Settle down inside my love
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love
Here, embraced in his arms, was the girl that had accepted him. The one who knew the prince and the monster, and had still chosen to remain by his side. She was facing away, her eyes closed, so he leaned into her ear and continued singing softly into her ear.
We're accidentally in love Accidentally Come on, come on
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
Love, I'm-
The music finished without the singer, as he was too preoccupied with the petite girl in his arms that had assaulted his mouth before he could sing the end of the song. However, the kiss was cut short by the shouts of one Inuzuka that had to run away from two hails if shuriken directed his way. Shino just clapped slowly with the faint traces of a smile in his covered visage. It seemed that Naruto had found the one that was meant for him.
