peeking my head out from Hard Convention Mode to do this - Cuz it's someone's Birthday~

While I appreciate the sentiment, really. It's completely unnecessary for you to even...

[ But Tenten! A birthday should not be ignored! It should be celebrated! ]

That sounds like something Gai-sensei would say. ~~and despite what you think, that's not always a good thing~~ ...Besides, I doubt my team even remembers.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Head... tilt... oh, ye of little faith.

And no, shut up, that's not a smile on his lips- it's a very silent "you're wrong".] We're not all that bad, are we? [--no, shh, don't answer that. Have a tiny bow, you old hag. He'd hug you, but he's him he's afraid to break ya.] Please forgive the tardiness. Happy birthday, Tenten.

[ Please. Like he's one to comment on faith.

And you're just lucky that you followed up that question with something else before she could answer it for you. You know Tenten, she holds nothing back. Not even the smirk that pulls at her lips. ]

I don't know, Hyuuga. It's a pretty big infraction. [ Crosses her arms. ] A little punishment seems to be in order.

[He isn't, hence the polite and very silent request to shut up. The same request that TenTen blows right over, even before she says anything at all. Neji finds his own tiny smile drawing tighter at her smirk- think 'uncertainty', if Neji Hyuuga was capable of such a thing.

Wariness.

Yes, that fits much more nicely.] I already apoligized. [What. A. Wimp.]

[ Oh Neji, you know your teammate so well. Why would you even think that any silent insistent for her to cease and desist her attempts at retaliation and retort would go without protest? ]

You sure did. [ And it was a very formal and proper apology. ] But that doesn't mean I forgive you.

[Because Lee's idiocy was rubbing off on him despite his better attempts at keeping sane. Obviously.

Tenten.

Tenten, why can't you get right to the point? Neji even thinks of bowing a second time- maybe a little lower would do... but like hell this girl cared about things like that. So instead, he crosses his arms across his chest.] What would you have me do?

[ Aww, Neji. She knew they were growing on you~ ]

Nothing too unreasonable, I don't think.

[ She is part of the more level-headed half of the team, after all, don't forget. ]

[He knows he ought to believe her and yet.

Go on. Out with it, woman.] --what's my punishment? [And why doesn't Lee get one.]

[ Such suspicion. Such little faith in your teammate. She should feel offended... If she wasn't doing her best to freak him out with her mysterious demeanor.

She hopes you enjoy her soft chuckles. ]

It's pretty simple, Hyuuga. You have to spend the day with me.

[ And Lee doesn't get one cuz he at least said that he was glad she was born ~~and he wasn't the one who seemed to disappear into the ether~~ ]

[Worry not, the jonin just happens to be chicken for chummy moments. (but is Tenten really just being chummy or he about to truly suffer? the world may never kn--)

Oh.] You could have said that from the start, you know. [Oh. He's not smirking again because two small smiles in so little time is unsightly or some...thing... but Neji breathes out an airy sigh all the same. Like she's kept him waiting with so much build-up.] I suppose it could be worse. [Because what's the fun of being with Tenten if quips can't start flying.] Alright, then. A punishment fitting the crime. I'm yours for the day.

[And really. Lighthearted as everything's been, that sure as hell isn't something he'll have a mind to say often if ever again. Just for you, Tenten. Don't complain he doesn't love you fools.]

all the youthful faith!

TENTEN!!!!!

I would never forget!! Never in a million years! This day should be marked and honored forever! It is such an important milestone as you step forward to the next evolution of youth.

Tenten... Tenten!!!

I... I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU WERE BORN!!!!!

[ Cringes. Volume, Lee. Volume.

But. Well. Everything he says is pretty darn sweet. And so very much typical Lee. Ah, no, that is totally not a smile trying to work its way onto her lips, what are you talking about...

Sigh. ]

Thanks, Lee. I'm happy too.

Edited 2016-03-15 05:02 (UTC)

You are?! Tenten... I am so pleased! On the day of your birth, your happiness is one of our fondest hopes! And... and you have achieved it already...

[He sniffles and sheds some more tears.]

I am so glad!!

It's very sweet of you to say that, Lee. [ Despite how embarrassed it makes her. ] But really, put those tears away...

But, Tenten, isn't this heartfelt?! I... I am shedding one tear for every happy memory I have of you! This - this is what it means to be young!!

That's... A lot of tears... [ Afterall,maneuver been a team for years now, spending almost every minute of every day training together... Needless to say, she might be looking concerned

...Although that does explain all the crying. ] I think you'd get dehydrated in the first ten minutes if you did that.

Is... is that so? I suppose that it may be a lot... but do not worry!! It is all worth it, for a friendship as great as hours!

We've been a team for a few years, now. And I'd like to believe it was all mostly good memories.

[ Granted, there have been quite a bit of sad memories too, but we shall not speak of those choice few! ]

[Now that he's finished glaring at his mun ...

There's a shift in his usual stance, arms lifting to cross over his chest and a light smirk tugging the corners of his lips up.]

... happy belated birthday, Tenten. I do hope it was a good one.

[ Wonders... why he would be glaring at his mun. But well, none of her business...

And her expression is light as she almost matches his stance. ]

Can't complain much. It was pretty quiet, actually.

[His mun has been slacking and he hasn't been enjoying a single moment of it.

A barely audible chuckle can be heard from him, fingers curling around his arms.]

Those can be some of the best birthdays.

[ Aww, poor mun. Facing up against the wrath of a Hyuuga can't be fun.

You leave them be, Neji. ]

Could, if I weren't so used to Lee and Gai-sensei making such a big deal out of our birthdays.

[Eh, he hasn't been too harsh - she didn't dump him back into a dusty old box and forget about him during the move, so ...

Oh, fine. He'll ease up a bit more then.]

Very true ... [He won't admit that he sort of misses it every now and then.]

[ Well good.malways remember to take your Hyuuga out and let him recharge in the sun often. Delicate complexions aside. ]

Never thought I'd love to see the day where I'd almost miss that...

[Oh, he gets plenty of sunlight! Maybe more than he would like at times, but still.]

I'm going to have to agree. Missing such antics ... [He shakes his head at even the thought of such a thing.]

[ Some sun and vitamin C will do you some good, Hyuuga. Accept it. Enjoy it. You might even look better with the smallest bit of color on you. ]

I knew they eventually grew on you.
