Lily's POV
After training & missions
Tenten suggested that we go to the cafe while Lee & Maito do more training, Rufus is walking around the village but he knows his way home and Neji went back home.
'I'm going to take these exams and prove to Neji that I'm stronger than him.'
"Lily, what are you thinking about?" Tenten asked.
​​​​​​​"I need therapy."
"Why?" Tenten asked.
"What I'm going to tell you stays between us, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Tenten replied.
"I think that I'm in love."
"Why is that an issue?" Tenten asked.
"Because I hate the guy but somehow I have a crush on him. Also there's another person that I really like."
"Maybe you have some insecurities." Tenten said.
'For the past 6 years, I've always protected my friends & sister from bullies but that caused my parents to change around me.'
​​​​​​​"Yeah that could be it."
"Who's the guy?" Tenten asked.
"Neji."
"Pfft, what?!" Tenten yelled.
"Tenten, you just spit tea on me."
"Sorry but why?" Tenten asked.
"I have no idea."
'When did this happen?'
​​​​​​​"What about the other person?" Tenten asked.
"Lee."
"That's not shocking at all." Tenten said.
'She already knows about my feelings.'
​​​​​​Lee's POV
​​​​​​​"Lee, Tenten & I are going to the cafe for lunch. Do you want to come?" Lily asked.
"No, I'm fine. I'll just train more with Gai-Sensei."
"Fine but remember to stop for breaks because if I hear that you're in the hospital, I'm going to kick both of your asses." Lily said.
After that she gave me two bentos because one was her lunch & the other one was for her friend but he already had his own lunch.
​​​​​​​'I need help.'
​​​​​​​"Lee, did you talk to Lily?" Gai-Sensei asked.
"Not really."
"Woof?" Rufus barked.
"Rufus, don't eat the bentos."
"Woof." Rufus barked.
"I don't want to make her mad at me."
"I could tell her for you." Gai-Sensei said.
"She'll be more mad at the both of us."
"I can handle it. She's only a teenager, what's the worst that could happen?" Gai-Sensei asked.
'Maybe he's right.'

​​​​​​Gai-Sensei & I found Tenten & Lily sitting on a bench.
"Lily, I'm going home now." Tenten said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lily said.
"Woof." Rufus barked.
Rufus followed Tenten to her home.
'I guess Rufus wants to keep Tenten safe.'
"Lily, we have to tell you something very important and can you promise not to be mad?" Gai-Sensei asked.
"Does this have to do with what Lee has been hiding?" Lily asked.
​​​​​​​"Gai-Sensei, I don't think.."
"Lee, just tell her. Now I just remember that I need to clean my house before it gets invaded by spiders." Gai-Sensei said.
"Lee, you want to have dinner with me?" Lily asked.
"Okay."
Tenten's POV
​​​​​​A couple of hours later
We finished lunch and ran into Neji.
"Neji, do you want to spar?" Lily asked.
"Alright but no ninjutsu just taijutsu." Neji replied.
"I'll just go practice my aim."
​​​​​​​'​​​​I hope this works.'
​​​​​​an hour later
​​​​​​​"Tenten, we're done." Lily said.
"Who won?"
"I did." Lily said.
"Only because you distracted me." Neji said.
​​​​​​​'Why does Neji have a kiss mark on his cheek?'
​​​​​​​After that Lily & I talked about what happen.
"I think I got it out of my system." Lily said.
"Did you tell him?"
"Yes, he sees me as a teammate. I'm okay with it but wanted to win the match so I kissed him on the cheek to distract him." Lily replied.
"You don't think he likes you?"
"No because he said to never do that again." Lily replied.
​​​​​​​Present
​​​​​​​'Lily & Neji talked about their feelings. I wonder if Lee will talk to her about the secret.'
