Curiosity
“Eh,
troublesome,” grumbled Shikamaru. “You can’t make a judgment like that without
having experienced it.”
Kiba stared
intently at the Nara before the facial equivalent of a light bulb turning
on flashed over his features. “I get it. You’re gay.”
Shikamaru
groaned and buried his head in his arms where they lay on the table in front of
him. Why did he persist in trying to explain scientific concepts to these
people? The male component of the rookie nine - plus two – (minus a certain
missing nin) - were enjoying their monthly round of my female team mate is more violent that your female team mate at a
local restaurant.
Kiba and
Shino didn’t really have a lot to complain about; they just came to laugh at
the others. Well, Kiba laughs. No one is really sure what Shino does under that
coat. It gave the young men an
opportunity to brag about their exploits and trade advice, though each denied
asking for advice as their entry to their questions.
“I think I
understand, Shikamaru, thank you,” said Chouji politely.
Naruto
looked confused from the beginning of the conversation, and was now set to his
default face of bright smile.
Shikamaru
huffed into his crossed arms. He shot a
glare at Kiba.
“Ok, ok,”
said Naruto, “but how does the cat fit into all this?”
“The guy
explained the theory by using an example of a cat in an airtight, watertight,
shielded box with a poison. Basically, quantum mechanics means that until you
open the box, the cat is both alive and dead. Opening the box would change the
conditions. Therefore, there is no way to really know if the cat it dead or
alive without measuring it.”
“Got it,”
said Naruto. “But how does that make you gay?”
Shikamaru
resorted to banging his head ever so
gently on the tabletop.
“Aaarg. Look, until you’ve had sex, you can’t say you’re
gay, straight, or bi. It’s like the box is unopened. You have a theory, but no
evidence. Mister Rantie-Pants over there is assuming
he’s straight, but he can’t really say that for sure. It’s like the cat in the
box – until you can find some way to measure it, you can’t be certain of the
results. You can’t know if you do like it or not until you have a measure.
Therefore, until you actually experience it, you are both gay and straight at
the same time.”
“So if we
want to prove that we’re not gay, we should kiss a guy?” asked Chouji.
“Exactly.”
“Bullshit,”
said Kiba. ”I like boobs. End of story.”
“Not really;
you could be bi.”
“I’m not
kissing a guy! I don’t need to have sex to know that I like girls. That’s final.
Stop being a perv, Shikamaru.”
“Meh, troublesome man, I’m not saying you should have sex
with a guy, I’m saying you won’t know that you like or don’t like guys until
you actually try it with a guy.”
“Ok, but
why did the cat die?” asked Naruto. His ability to cling to one particular
point in any debate both astounded and annoyed Shikamaru.
Neji rolled
his eyes, unnoticed by the group due to the lack of discernable pupil.
“Until you
have measurable results, you can neither prove nor disprove a theory,” said
Neji. “The cat isn’t important, Naruto, what’s important is the idea – the
thought process – behind it.”
“Thank you,
Neji, for proving to me that the concept is not beyond Konoha ninja - just Kiba,”
said Shikamaru. “Troublesome. “
“Neji! My
Most Youthful teammate! We should kiss to prove our Undying Love to our
Precious People.”
Neji did
not respond, save for a look of horror that silently screamed, why me!?! Why does it always happen to me,
damn it? He shifted on the bench seat so there was a good foot from his
teammate, hoping the distance would discourage any bodily contact.
“No,” he
whispered urgently, “for the last time Lee, I’m not kissing you. I’m not going
to hug you and I will not let you give me a piggie-back”
Lee pouted.
“Aww, no one want to kiss Fuzzy-brows,” said Naruto.
“I don’t
want to kiss any of you! You’re all crazy. CRAZY,” bellowed Kiba.
Chouji
looked thoughtful. “I’m the same person, whatever the response. I will kiss
you, Lee-kun.”
“Yosh!”
Five boys
looked on as Lee jumped up out of his seat, grasped Chouji by his armor and
dipped him before placing an exaggeratedly ‘romantic’ kiss on the big-boned nin’s lips.
“Aww, what? Damn it Chouji, you’re supposed to
be one of the sane ones,” complained Kiba.
Naruto
looked amongst his friends. He scanned each face with a calculating look.
“Shikamaru
–“
“No.“
“But –“
“No. Pick
someone else. “
“But you
started – “
“No.”
Naruto
resumed his calculating look. He turned to Shino. “Shino, can I kiss you?”
“No way!
No! Just- not with Shino, he’s my teammate!”
Shino stood
abruptly, leant over the table, hauled Naruto out of his seat with one hand,
and kissed him.
He dropped
Naruto back into his seat and sat down.
“I’m with
you on this, Shikamaru – why choose?” said Shino. He smirked, but no one could
see it.
Neji raised
an elegant brow. “’With you’? As in - together, with you?”
Shikamaru
smirked. “No. I already knew that I’m bi.”
Kiba
screeched at the unfairness of it all, wailed about his love for Hinata, then
grabbed Neji and kissed him.
Neji
punched Kiba so hard that he went through the window of the restaurant, across
the street, and into the window of the restaurant opposite.
“Straight
then?” queried Naruto.
“No, I just
don’t like people kissing me without permission. Especially
someone professing their love for my cousin.”
Kiba
wandered back into the restaurant, glass still clinging to his hair. He was
waylaid by the irate restaurateur, and arrived at the table several weeks pay
down from when they started their meal. House rules were the victim had to pay
for the damage.
“So, straight. How ‘bout you guys?” said Kiba as he sat down.
Chouji
plucked glass out of his meal. “Straight.”
“Shino, man?”
Shino
turned his head to his teammate. Kiba could tell there was a grin on his face. “Bi.”
Kiba hung
his head. “Naruto?”
Naruto
graced the world with a thousand watt smile. “Bi – doubles my chances.”
“That, and
your only real kisses have been from guys,” said Shikamaru. “Actually, you’re
going to have to kiss a girl before you can confirm it.
Kiba
ignored Naruto’s indignant shouting and continued around the table.
“Lee?”
“My Love
For The Fair Sakura Grows Ever Stronger with the Fire of Youth!”
Five boys
looked at one another. Naruto was still ranting at Shikamaru. “Straight,” they
chorused.
“Shikamaru?”
“Bi – but
women are troublesome.”
Kiba turned
to Neji. “And you’re straight!”
“Gay – You’re
a terrible kisser.”
Kiba’s
ranting joined Naruto’s – an event so common that the two had learned to peak
while the other lulled, given the effect of an almost musical quality.
Kiba stormed
off, as did Naruto, and were soon followed by a smirking Shino and a rosy-cheeked
Lee profession his love for Sakura.
Chouji
remained to finish all the meals. “Good luck, Shikamaru,” he said as he
departed.
Neji and
Shikamaru sat on opposite side of the table.
“You
already knew you were bi?”
“Yep.”
“Then the
purpose of this exercise was…?”
“To find
out if you were.”
“Hn.”
The two sat
silently for a few moments.
“The Hyuuga
compound is always guarded.”
Shikamaru
raised a lazy brow. Neji tried to remain impassive. Shikamaru smirked as a
slight blush tinted the usually stoic man’s cheeks. His lips blossomed into a
smile at the older man’s discomfort.
“So, my place then?”
Brought to you by my fucked up
brain, which uses the above to argue with my sister that kissing a girl does
not make me bi, or a lesbian, it actually proves I like men better. Especially if there are two of them. Kissing.
Like Shikamaru and Neji. Naked.
Very basically, quantum suppositions
breaks down to that things are uncertain until measured.
If you never open the box, the cat,
not being proved dead, is technically alive and dead at the same time. It’s our
curiosity that drives us to open the box, which ties in pretty well with the
phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’.
I know there are people with a far
better understanding of it that would explain it better. That not being me I’ve
listed the links to the wiki entries below.

One more side note – I made myself
giggle while writing this, which prompted my Fiancée to tell me I was having
too much fun writing this.
