Day 1: Your favorite trope
I'm doing this in head canon format
Neji and Tenten absolutely hate each other
Neji was classically trained his whole life
He did competitions and competed all around
Tenten was trained at a local dance studio
It was obvious she had a lot potential
On the first day of class, Tenten walked into the studio with a crop top and sweatpants over her leotard
Neji walked up to her and told her that wasn't what she was supposed to be wearing. She needed to be in a leotard
Tenten rolled her eyes and said she was wearing one under
Tenten stood in the middle line
You could tell Tenten wasnt classically trained
She was flexible but she didn't know all the terms for everything
Neji sneered at her everytime he had to explain
Tenten was easily one of the best in the class
Her technique was amazing
She had some troubles with memory
She always have it her all
Neji was perfect in every way
He knew the names of everything
He could memorize moves in a instant
He was easily very flexible
When partners were chose to dance with, it was always tenten and neji together
Neji would always tell her it's so obvious that she was trained by amateurs
Pointing out every small mistake
"You weren't trained very well in ballet, were you?"
"Your arms are bent instead of rounded."
"You have no arch in your foot"
"The boxes of your Pointe shoes go soft before the arches are broken in"
"Your memory is really bad"
"I guess you can say the only thing right that your hair is pulled back."
After that the there's tension between them
No one noticed that they weren't at the top of their game till 'the incident'
They were doing a lift where she was flipped back onto his shoulder
Tenten had been so out of it that when she went back instead of her hips on neji's shoulder
She got a shoulder to the gut and she fell
Neji was the first to say something
The teacher showed him away and took Tenten to the nurse
Despite the argument, Neji really wanted to make sure she was okay
After class, he took off to the nurse's office
Tenten was laying in the bed with a ice pack on the shoulder she landed on
She sneered and when she saw him and asked if he was here to insult her
Neji told her he just wanted to make sure she was okay
They spent the rest of the day talking through their issues with each other
Tenten was mad at him when they firstet because she had never seen someone as talented as him
Neji said that he never saw someone who wasn't classically trained that was that good
These two dorks bonded over their love for dance
Tenten told Neji all about how she used to do odd jobs so she could pay for costumes and classes
She told him how she was trained in a couple different styles.
Contemporary was definitely her favorite
Neji said he had been dancing for as long as he can remember
He was only allowed to do ballet. It was a tradition in his family
Tenten offered to teach him other styles
Whenever they had a break you would catch Tenten teaching Neji different things
