I Am You?! (NejiTen)

15- Original bodies again

Neji and Tenten spent the rest of the day cuddling on the sofa bed, watching dramas and criticizing the actors while cracking jokes. This was nice. Nicer than nice in fact. There was one thing left to do however and that was to apologize to Lee. The poor guy was caught up in their crossfire and was abandoned just like that. They needed to reconcile properly.

Lee was surprised albeit happy the next day when they offered their sincere apologies. He forgave them as easily as he smiled and they all went on a play date like the old times.

Neji woke up feeling lighter than usual but he guessed it was because of the previous events. The guilt he felt had been lifted and he and Tenten were together now. He was happier than a school girl who found out that her crush liked her back.

His eyes were closed as he walked to the bathroom with muscle memory only for them to fly open impact with the wall. Neji hissed in pain and glared at the offending object but that was not enough to damper his soaring spirit this morning. He walked picked up his electric toothbrush and put some Sensodyne™ on it. Funny. He base been using Colgate™ for the past few months.

Neji was puzzled at why Tenten would suddenly change her toothpaste from Colgate to Sensodyne which was the brand he used. Realization lit Neji's features as like a lamp and he looked at the mirror in front of him. "Sweet nature." He cursed in his own pg way and touched his face. His face!

Neji had to drop what he was holding to inspect himself properly and be sure he was not dreaming. It wasn't a dream! Long dark hair, lavender pupil-less eyes, abs and– he checked his pants– it was down there too! His smile broadened when he heard his phone ringing. He could not be bothered by the fact that Tenten had changed it to the opening theme of Spongebob Squarepants as he recognized the caller ID.

"NEJI! I can't believe it!" Tenten's happy shout made him wince a little but his smile didn't weaver. It was so good to hear her sweet, sweet voice again. "I don't have a dick anymore!!!"

Neji chuckled at that. "No you don't." It was his own voice! "This is so wonderful."

"Hell yes! Hao,hao!" Tenten started slipping up in Chinese but Neji didn't mind. "How did this happen?" His jumpy girlfriend suddenly asked.

"I..." Neji had zero idea how they switched back. Was it because of their love for each other like in cliché movies or because they finally worked out their misunderstanding? Or was it because they had reconciled with the people they offended albeit unknowingly in the past or because of all these options?

Neither of them cared because they had switched back and that was all that mattered. This time they remembered to practice their roles (again) which were now reversed so nothing was out of the ordinary except...

"It's unnerving the way you two are chummy with each other outside the script." Sai's sarcastic and monotonous voice almost ruined the magical moment between them, almost.

"I was thinking the same thing!" Ino quipped in agreement to her eccentric boyfriend's words. "Not only that, you two have been seriously weird, you and Tenten both."

They were presently in the changing room where Ino was helping them with their costumes. Sai had noticed the way Neji and Tenten cast not so inconspicuous doting glances at each other. And besides their eyes had too much stars to be an act plus he had caught them exchanging sizes once. Were they in a relationship or was he the one misreading things as usual?

"How weird have we been?" Neji asked as he buttoned the shirt Ino had selected for his character.

The new actor was supposed to arrive today but he was not here yet. Neji wondered who it was but while they waited for him, Gai suggested they acted out a scene that involved a trialogue between Cole (Sai), Anita (Tenten) and Lance (Neji).
