NejiTen Oneshots And Drabbles

Five Stages

Stage 1: Denial

'I'm not in love with him.'

Tenten almost destroyed the keyboard with her fingers as she smashed each key with the appropriate letters for his name.

H-Y-U-G-A N-E-J-I

She pressed the 'Enter' key with a little more force than necessary and proceeded to handle the mouse with the same vigor as she clicked 'Print.'

While waiting for the file to finish printing, she fished for her phone and idly scrolled through her news feed.

'What's so good about him anyways?' She asked herself, mindlessly tapping her phone.

'He's so cocky, not to mention that he's so cold towards everyone.' She had clicked on a hyperlink that took her to a favorite Harry Potter fan page.

'He's like Snape,' she thought as she browsed through the page's gallery.

'Offensive, cold, an arrogant, know-it-all weirdo.' She felt delighted with this fact, not even looking at her phone anymore as she smiled to herself.

'Minus the greasy hair though, goodness knows that the man has prettier hair than mine.' A chuckle escaped her lips at the thought of his beautiful mane of coffee colored hair.

"No!" She slapped herself in the face and focused on her phone once more. It displayed a conversation between Dumbledore and Snape. The greatest headmaster of Hogwarts had been telling the greasy-haired teacher the deed that must be done (You must be the one to kill me, Severus).

Tenten smiled at the meme, someone had inserted the 'Seen' icon right in the middle with Snape's blank face and ended it with Dumbledore's dialogue, "Don't ignore me, Severus."

She felt herself chuckle in response as she swiped to the next picture. 'Naw, Snape is much better than than Adventure Time's Ice King.'

'Snape's smart,'

"I heard the boss was a top notcher in the bar exam!" Despite their hush tones, Tenten could very clearly hear her gossiping colleague's conversation.

"It's not much of a surprise really, he graduated as batch valedictorian back in law school, there was a small article on it in the paper!" An excited high-pitched voice added.

Another joined in the conversation as he rolled his chair near the group, "I read that one! He was given one of the Student of the Year awards by the Prime Minister himself!"

'He's devoted...'

"Mr. Hyuga?" Tenten was surprised, she thought she had been the only one left at the firm. She was in need of some caffeine. There was a case she needed to crack and her house was no place for such intense research, what with the bed seducing her, but she was shocked to find that someone else beat her to the coffee vendo machine.

"Miss Sarutobi," he acknowledged, voice as smooth as dark chocolate, a paper cup filled with coffee at hand.

Tenten silently made her ways to the coffee machine and pressed the button indicating her preference. She heard the paper cup slip down the little shoot near the bottom of the machine and began to fill with much needed caffeine.
