Notes: Wow, an update. Basically, for the first four, I just combined all my little one-shots to make one gigantour Christmas thing. Brilliant, eh? (: A fluffy little thing because I felt like it.

Peppermint

“Tenten.”

“Hm?” Tenten looked up, her head tilted to the side as Neji stared at her.

“What are you eating?”

Tenten smiled, pulling out the peppermint, “A candy cane.”

“Why?”

The weapon specialist rolled her eyes, “I don’t need a reason to eat a candy cane. It’s just holiday spirit.”

Neji nodded, looking down at the kunai in her hand. She was sharpening her latest one, as the tip of the candy cane was in her mouth.

Tenten looked up, feeling his eyes on her.

“Wanna help me up, Neji?”

Neji stood, extending a hand. She took it, as he pulled her up, the kunoichi brushing off the dirt from the seat of her pants.

She smiled, pulling out the minty snack again, making her fingers sticky.

“You want some?”

Neji blinked, as she walked closer.

He stiffened as the repulsive stick of candy hovered in front of his eyes. No way was he going to touch the candy, even though it had been in Tenten’s mouth, he despised peppermint.

“No.”

Tenten shrugged, sucking on it again before commenting, “It’s good.”

The taller boy raised an eyebrow. Tenten smirked leaning in and pecking him on the lips and his mouth opened hungrily, before she shoved in the candy cane.

He sucked on it, watching her grin impishly.

Peppermint wasn’t so bad, really.
