The shower and change into warm clothes made him feel marginally better. Although things were still a little confusing, it was a good- if cold- morning. Maybe things would start looking up; so long as Tenten took the news well, at any rate. He didn't really see a reason why she wouldn't, but it was nerve-wracking nonetheless ( ... )

Tenten looked over at him as he came in and smiled. She hadn't been sure what to do with the teacup, but she'd figured it would get taken care of, whether someone wanted cold tea or did their dishes.

"Hey, Neji." There was a pause as she finished plating the first plate. Tenten held it out to him. "Breakfast? And I woke up, so I figured I might as well be up."

She glanced down the hall, wondering if the scents would bring anyone else out. Then she shrugged and served herself, taking a seat. "Did you leave any hot water?"

Neji blinked, smiling uneasily and stepped further in the kitchen, accepting the plate of food with murmured words of gratitude. Glancing around, he set it down across from Tenten and moved to take care of heating water for tea, spilling the contents of the chilled cup into the sink and setting it aside.

"I don't take that long, Tenten." He chastised, bristling, "Though Lee should be in there by now." Neji rummaged through the cupboards idly, pulling things out as he'd need them, "He shouldn't take long, however, so there's little need to worry about that."

Lee's thoughts were a complex jumble. His mind kept looping over what had happened the night before, and there was a small voice that kept repeating certain details with a vividness that he hadn't expected from his own imagination. The Chuunin groaned, then shut the water off and toweled his hair briskly, as if trying to chase the thoughts out ( ... )

Tenten shook her head with a soft sigh. "It's called teasing, Neji. I'm really not going around trying to insult you..." She glanced toward the doorway. She would bet Lee was showering next. "Right. He doesn't tend to be slow."

She felt his chakra before she saw him, and Tenten turned to give him a cheerful wave. The turn was in time to catch him blush. She had to fight down the urge to grin at it, or tease. "Um good morning to you too, Lee."

Oh yeah. The glance was very telling. And they weren't angry with each other or seeming to be too stressed. That small bit of hope was getting even bigger. Quickly she dished up a plate for Lee and handed it over, brushing his hand in the process and trying to not grab it.
