Divine Intervention

It took only a mere moment for Shikamaru to realize it wasn’t him who was being yelled at. A low thud made the car rock as Shikamaru finally got his wits about him and he rolled onto the floor, looking for his footing. He could just barely see Itachi through the fogged glass of the front door window, back pressed against the car and causing Shikamaru to scramble out of the vehicle.

“I don’t care what you’re shit-faced father said!” the interrupter continued loudly as the Nara finally was able to climb out through the back door. “I’m not gonna be fucking idle while my boyfriend is screwing somebody else in his fucking car!”

Shikamaru’s eyes fell upon the sight of another pale-skinned man a bit taller than himself, short silver hair slicked back, crimson eyes full of anger as they glared hotly at the Uchiha, who he had currently pushed against the car. One of his hands was tangled in Itachi’s jacket as he pushed a bit harder, a small growl escaping his throat.

“What the fuck do you have to say for yourself?!”

“Please stop, Hidan,” Itachi whispered, head bowed, dark tresses hiding his eyes. Shikamaru found it a bit odd that he wasn’t putting up any kind of fight but knew the Uchiha could take care of himself. “My father does not approve—”

“Did you not fucking hear me?” this Hidan person broke in, expression turning a bit annoyed as he continued to yell. “I told you I don’t fucking care what he said! If you had any balls you’d be telling him the same fucking thing, Itachi! And zip up your fucking pants!” He released Itachi and crossed his arms, red eyes watching closely as the Uchiha did as he was told.

A scowl touched the Nara’s features as he stepped up to the obviously upset man. “Excuse me, but Itachi happens to be my date tonight.”

Hidan rolled his eyes. “Like I give a shit. Piss off.”

“Hidan!” the Uchiha hissed, voice holding a bit more strength as he glared at the silver-haired man from just behind his bangs, quickly placing his belt back into place. “Whether we like it or not, my father set me up with Shikamaru.”

Shikamaru took half a step back when those dark red eyes, full of disbelief and confusion, gave him a once over, starting from his face and running down to his feet. It’s not that the Nara was frightened of the guy, but he truly wasn’t that great a fighter. He had no doubt that if Hidan attacked him it would not turn out well.

“Why the fuck would you keep hanging around with this guy?!” Hidan asked, giving Shikamaru a quick glare. “I’m here; just ditch him!”

“Because he didn’t ask for this either,” Itachi answered curtly, straightening his shirt and jacket. “He was also forced into this and it would be very rude of me to just leave him here to go and have sex with you.”

“So what? I’m sure this pretty boy could find someone else to shadow.” The silver-haired man leaned close to Shikamaru and gave him a not-so-gentle shove. “Now beat it.”

The Nara was forced back a few steps, but tried to remain stubborn. Normally, he would have given up as soon as Hidan had interrupted them; however, Shikamaru didn’t want to back down this time. He knew that if he admitted defeat now, he’d either have to hang around with someone at the dance, with their date, which he really didn’t want to do, or he’d have to take the long walk home and tick off his parents. Neither of which were very attractive choices and Shikamaru was not going to be left sitting out on the porch all night while his parents had sex. Fuck no.

“Hidan, stop!” Itachi scolded once more, grabbing the taller man’s arm.

“This was my date you interrupted,” Shikamaru stated, giving Hidan a glare of his own. “I don’t have a back-up person just waiting for me in case things didn’t work out. What am I supposed to do while the two of you work out the issues you obviously have?” The Nara crossed his arms, suppressing the shiver that wanted to ripple up his spine. His shirt was still open and the cool air was stealing more heat away from his body than he’d like to admit.

Crimson eyes darted over Shikamaru’s shoulder a moment before a smart-ass grin spread on Hidan’s thin lips, his arms also crossing over his chest. “I don’t know,” the silver-haired man said, tone a bit mocking, “maybe work out issues that you have?”

Shikamaru raised a curious eyebrow at the statement, the true meaning not coming to his pouting mind at being denied sex until it was too late.

“That sounds like a good idea to me.”

A surprised gasp escaped Shikamaru’s lips as that heavenly voice brushed passed his eardrums and channeled into his brain; all thoughts about wanting to get laid immediately forgotten. His heart began beating faster as his arms slowly dropped to his sides, eyes widening in shock as he slowly turned his head to see his angel standing behind him.

Neji was angry, the Nara could see that almost instantly, yet it didn’t diminish the older man’s beauty in the slightest. His gorgeous eyes had darkened to a silvery gray, framed perfectly with scowling eyebrows and deeply frowning lips to create the most attractive glare Shikamaru had ever seen. His pale cheeks were slightly flushed with a light red hue, nostrils flaring a bit as he took a small step closer, a pale hand reaching out to grasp onto Shikamaru’s wrist.

“We’ve got things to talk about, Shikamaru Nara,” the Hyuga almost growled out, strong glare not weakening in the least.

Shikamaru was still in shock as his angel pulled on his arm, his feet immediately following the movement. He didn’t notice the small look of concern Itachi gave to his back nor did the Nara see Hidan pull his boyfriend into the Uchiha’s car and shut the door. Shikamaru’s full attention was on the man currently tugging him back toward the school. His eyes stared at the dark tresses tied tightly behind his neck, not a single strand loose from the tie and sharply contrasting against his light-colored suit.

The Nara noted that the almost white clothing his angel wore accented him well. It hugged his body in a way Shikamaru wished he could and he was positive the cloth moved in the exact same way his muscles were, had he not been wearing anything.

That particular thought brought back some upsetting memories and Shikamaru’s gaze dropped to his feet, which seemed to be moving on their own as they entered the warm building. He was a bit surprised when Neji took him down a hall that didn’t lead to the gymnasium, although the heavy beats and some muffled words could still be heard from the dance.

Shikamaru remained silent as he was drug to an empty classroom, his angel throwing open the door and shoving the younger teen into the darkness. The force made Shikamaru run into the teacher’s desk, which moved a few inches when he collided with it. He tried to remain calm as he heard the door slam shut and a heavy, shaky sigh leave the Hyuga.

Shikamaru slowly turned to face his angel, leaning upon the desk, when he noticed Neji standing by the door, giving his back to the younger teen. The Nara remained silent; Neji was the one who wanted to talk. He watched pale fingers reach over to the light switch, pushing the small lever up to fill the room with artificial light. It was several quiet minutes before another lighter sigh was forced from the older teen as he straightened his shoulders.

The moment pale eyes glanced over his shoulder, however, the glare returned and Neji quickly turned away again. “Make yourself presentable, Nara,” he snapped. “I don’t want to see what he did.”

A small scowl touched Shikamaru’s face at the comment, but he obeyed. The small amount of frustration running in his body was slowly diminished as he fought with the tiny buttons, forcing them back into the holes they belonged in. Once that was complete, ignoring his loose tie, Shikamaru waited again for his angel to speak.

Moon-hued eyes glanced at the Nara once more and seemed satisfied, turning to face Shikamaru with a serious gaze. “Care to explain,” Neji started, tone soft yet still holding sharpness to it, “what exactly you were doing in Itachi Uchiha’s car?”

Shikamaru shrugged. “We were planning on having some car sex.” He saw the older teen’s pale hands clench into fists at his side.

Neji’s eyes shifted to the floor. “I see. I didn’t think you would replace me so quickly.”

“What do you mean?” the Nara asked carefully, raising a curious eyebrow.

“Judging by what you told me,” the older teen began slowly, “the last time we spoke…. I thought….” He shook his head as if to clear it. “Itachi doesn’t seem to be your type, Nara.”

Shikamaru snorted, crossing his arms. “What do you care?” he asked insolently. “You sure as hell didn’t give a shit when we were having sex.” A few moments of silence passed and the younger teen felt that he might as well let his angel know the truth so nothing stupid would be said later. “Not that it’s any of your business, Hyuga, but my parents set me up on a blind date with Itachi. Neither of us had any say in the matter.”

Surprised pale orbs shot to Shikamaru for a brief second before Neji looked away again. “So… you are not dating Itachi?”

The Nara rolled his eyes; he couldn’t help it. His angel was acting a bit off and it was only serving to irritate Shikamaru. “Of course we’re not dating; I thought you would’ve been able to figure that out in the parking lot.” His darker eyes gave the Hyuga a once over, noticing the small flush on pale cheeks, looking more pink than before. His face was set in something of great concentration as his hands continually clenched and unclenched in what appeared to be nervousness. Shikamaru started to feel confused. “What is with you, Hyuga?” he asked. “You’re acting weird.”

Neji reached up to rub his forehead a little, moon-colored eyes finally locking onto the younger teen’s. “I’ve… I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said and… you were right.”

Shikamaru tilted his head to the side a bit in silent question.

“What? You were right!” Neji repeated, looking away as he began pacing before the Nara. “I realize that there’s more to life than baseball; it’s just that my father…. I want to make him proud, that’s all! I also know there is more to people than being ballplayers. I just never… really see anybody outside the game, but I have been trying! That’s why I came here tonight and….” He stopped his tirade, once again turning pale eyes to gaze into Shikamaru’s own, slowly approaching him as he continued to speak. “And I know there’s more to you than just sex… Shikamaru.”

The Nara could feel his eyes widen as his angel continued to advance and he couldn’t turn away even if he wanted to. He could see some kind of emotion flicker within those beautiful orbs, which caused his heart to start beating quickly again. Was this a… love confession?

‘No,’ Shikamaru’s mind pressed, trying hard not to get his hopes up. ‘Remember, this guy dropped your ass for his fucking sport. He said it himself: baseball’s his life! There’s no room for you in his heart!’ However, his own heart was not listening, instead focusing on those gorgeous eyes as the paler teen stepped up to him.

“I was a fool not to see it,” Neji kept saying, “how much you cared for me. I knew you were always watching me but… I ignored it. I do apologize for that Shikamaru.” A pale hand rose to gently touch the Nara’s shoulder, causing him to shudder. “I must tell you that I—”

“He’s in here!”

Shikamaru jumped slightly at the loud voice and the sound of the door to the room opening. He looked over the Hyuga’s shoulder to see Sakura and Lee, both looking shocked and angry, the rest of the team scrambling into the classroom behind them.

“We just talked to Kakashi-sensei!” Sakura nearly screeched. “How can you do this, Neji?!”

“Is it true?” a few others asked simultaneously.

“Reconsider; don’t be so rash!” another asked, but Shikamaru was having difficulty understanding who was asking what as the group erupted into noise. Everyone was either asking questions or shouting how they were against it, although Shikamaru had no idea what anyone was talking about.

After a few minutes of shouting, Neji was able to quiet them down. The team still looked pretty agitated and the Nara wondered if they would jump their captain.

“Look, it’s done, all right?” the Hyuga said sternly, taking a step back and closer to Shikamaru. “There’s nothing more to say in the matter. Now, if you don’t mind, I happen to be a bit busy here.”

“But the playoffs start next week!” Naruto shouted. “What are we supposed to do, Neji?!”

Said teen sighed heavily as Shikamaru gave him a questioning look. “What are they talking about, Hyuga?” he asked, seeming to alert the others that he was in fact in the room.

“Hey, Shikamaru,” Chouji greeted suddenly, as if just realizing the Nara was there.

Shikamaru nodded his head to his plump friend and gave the older teen a steady look, waiting for an answer.

Neji shrugged, giving the Nara a steady gaze as he replied, “I quit the team.”
