After the concert was over, the walk back to the dorms were quiet for the group. The crowds of people around them were far from quiet but for Tenten, it was as though they weren't there. She didn't know what to make of what happened at the concert. Things could get...awkward for her and Neji.
Once they got back to the dorm, the two were silent. At least, until Neji began, "So, about earlier..."
Tenten groaned. He just had to bring that topic up. Luckily, she was pretty sure none of the group had seen it. The two of them had stood at the back of the entire group, and most people were too busy looking at the stage and enjoying the music to notice them. Some of the crowd had seen it but other than a few winks directed towards them, no one seemed to say anything. Thankfully, the area had gotten more and more packed and the people behind them were mostly some older adults that no one recognized. No fangirls saw, either.
The rest of the concert after the kiss just passed by in a blur for her. She was too busy thinking about things. So...what to make of it? It just...happened. That was it.
"Listen, can we just forget about what happened earlier?" Tenten asked, sighing.
Neji nodded, his face expressionless as he sat down on his bed with his laptop.
Tenten grabbed her phone and plopped down on her bed, scrolling through social media as her thoughts began to drift back to what happened earlier. His soft, sweet lips on hers, the music playing in the background- ack, stop thinking about it! She mentally commanded herself. But the more she tried to stop thinking about it, the more she thought about it. Did it...mean anything? No, it couldn't have. Ugh, I don't know! Tenten was beyond frustrated. She never felt such muddled emotion. They'd kissed before, right? And it hadn't meant a thing, so this time doesn't mean a thing either.
She was done letting it get to her head. It didn't mean anything, so, she simply chose to forget it ever happened. It was better that way.
