It's all about Neji.

🍋 Neji x female reader

Your work in the hospital was always exhausting, but lately, it was a nightmare. Everyone was stressed and upset getting ready for a war. A lot of people were coming in and out bringing supplies, medicines, the others were sealing stuff into scrolls, some were thinking about how to improve medical tents… Never-ending crowd and noise.

You used to like this work very much. Chatting with your patients, making food pills or meeting for a quick lunch with Sakura and Ino were your favourite things to do. Sadly, now your favourite thing was taking your shoes off after work… Understandable that it was a lot of work ahead but you wanted to go back in time so badly…

Neji walked up to you with a smile carrying the box full of bandages. 
"This is the last one y/n, I'll be back tomorrow with a new delivery." 
"Thank you, Neji. It's very nice of you to help us. You still have a lot of stuff to do but anyway you volunteered to help out with deliveries." you looked at him through your lashes. Neji was so handsome that it intimidated you. Since you remember you always had a little crush on him but never to the point of freaking out when he was around.

He was always polite and helpful to you, and there was no doubt that he liked you too… but did he like or LIKE you? You honestly didn't know. His gestures and posture, the things he was saying while he was with you all seemed to be just being nice. But sometimes he was blushing for no reason or turning his head away hurriedly. 

"y/n, what are your plans for tonight?" *Did... he... just…?* your cheeks burned and turned pink. He could not possibly ask you out, could he? You took a breath and gazed at his hands. He was nibbling on one finger.
"I'll finish soon and go home. Lately, I'm too tired to do anything…" *What are you talking about!? He will back out!*
"I mean, it's hard and stressful due to the war… I'm looking forward to relaxing and having some fun." You fixed your mistake.

"Oh, umm… What would you say to a movie night? Me, you, nice movie and an insanely lot of snacks…?" He smirked.
"Popcorn?" You asked, raising one brow.
"Popcorn!" He nodded, giving a step towards you.
"Sour jelly beans?" You teased him.
"Sour jelly beans!" Another nod and step.
"Coke?" You narrowed your eyes.
"All the goodies!" Neji chuckled and waited for your response.
"You bought me with those jelly beans, Neji. Not gonna lie." You chuckled while he reached for your hand and theatrically bent over kissing the back of it. He glared at you smiling.
"I'll pick you up at 8".

You flew your way home excited about a date with Neji. HE ASKED YOU OUT! Your smile was wider than ever. Butterflies in your stomach were making their way up to your throat tingling, causing uncontrollable attacks of laughter. At the speed of light, you jumped under the shower and washed your hair and body. You finished your shift at 6 and there wasn't much time left when you walked to the bedroom to pick some clothes. You stood in front of the wardrobe with a troubled face.

Finally, you decided to put on a pink hoodie and light grey, tight sweatpants. You wanted to feel comfortable. It was just a movie night after all. While finishing up your makeup you heard the knock on the door. It made you jump and you dropped your blush on the floor. Was it 8 already? 
"Fuck!" You let out acknowledging a smear of peach-pink blush on the carpet. You cleaned it up, opened the door and saw Neji with the beautiful crimson rose in his hand. It almost made you smile that he was wearing a set of sweatpants and hoodie as well but in the shade of navy blue. He handed the flower to you and said, 
"Ready for some fun?" You nodded and he grabbed you by the hand leading towards his car.

It felt magical and high at the same time. The warmth of his hand has spread on your whole body. He took your breath away with one look into your eyes while opening the passenger door for you. You started to be worried that you will end up in the hospital if you will get a little bit more excited.
