Nara Shikamaru sat in Ichiraku Ramen Bar watching Naruto eat. It was a good thing he hadn’t offered to treat, because the blonde would have broke him quickly. As it was, he had finished his bowl about the time Naruto started on his third. That had been two bowls ago.
“Where do you put all that?” Shika asked Naruto.
“In my ramen stomach. It is bigger than my normal one.” Naruto said between bites. He looked completely serious.
Shika had a feeling the blonde really believed that. He turned his head back and lay it on his hand. Taking Naruto for ramen was troublesome, but he liked to see the twinkling blue eyes smiling at him.
“Aren’t you going to eat more?” Naruto asked, setting another bowl to the side.
“One is enough for me.” Shikamaru replied.
“One isn’t enough for anyone.” Naruto said, starting on his next helping.
“Can you hurry?” Shika asked. “I have things…”
“You don’t have things to do, Shika.” Naruto said “You have clouds to count.”
“To count?”
“Yeah, counting clouds…isn’t that what you’re doing when you lay out there on that hill?”
Shikamaru almost laughed. What a troublesome person.
“Yep, gotta get back to counting.” He replied. It wasn’t worth trying to explain himself.
“Well, go ahead, I will catch up with you in a little bit.” Naruto said, a smile on his face.
Shika stood up, and stretched a bit. “Sure?”
Naruto, who had just taken a bite, nodded. Shika raised a hand in farewell and was gone.
Before long, he was back on the hill, watching the sky fill with rain clouds. This kind of irritated him, because it had been sunny the whole time they had been eating lunch.
A voice sounded from above him.
“Shikamaruuuuuu!” He heard, and he smiled a little despite himself.
A body was soon covering his. As Naruto’s lips covered his own, the rain began to fall.
Troublesome….but nice.
****One week earlier****
Naruto opened the door and walked into the dark.
“Tadaima!” He called to the empty apartment.
“Okaeri.” Shika said quietly. It slipped out really, but he kinda felt sorry for the blonde.
Naruto turned back toward him. He was shrouded in dark, and Shika couldn’t make out his face.
“Thanks.” Blonde whispered. Then he flipped a light switch and the room was bathed in light.
“This is my place.” Naruto said, smiling.
It seemed like a different atmosphere here. It was Naruto’s own territory, and everything in the big living room seemed to scream Naruto. From the empty ramen bowls to the spirals -seemingly drawn freehand with a paintbrush- all over the walls in varying sizes. The best feature of this room was that one side of the room was covered in floor to ceiling windows. It was a second story apartment, so it would have been the perfect place to watch a sunrise.
He wondered if Naruto ever did that.
“It's…” Shika started.
“Awesome? Yeah I know.” Naruto said.
“Yeah.” Shika said. He didn’t understand it, but it seemed to be an extremely inviting place. He wanted to stretch out on the couch and just stare out the windows.
“Wanna see the rest?” Naruto asked. He seemed completely sober again.
“Whatever.” Shika replied, although he really DID want to see the rest.
Naruto continued the tour, and at the end they found themselves in the blonde’s bedroom. It was completely different than Shika ever would have expected.
Unlike the rest of the place, which was warm and inviting, the bedroom was horrifying.
The king sized bed was tall, a foot taller than the height of a normal bed, and it was covered with a black spread that looked to be covered in blood. Upon closer examination it was paint.
There were hardwood floors, and a normal closet. It was the walls that worried Shikamaru.
They were covered in paintings. Black and red paintings. It was like walking into a mural with a bed. He could distinctly see claw marks in the paint. He could make out faces and bodies sometimes, but mostly it was just red paint smeared everywhere.
“Naruto…” Shikamaru said, wanting to leave the room right away.
There was a nervous laugh behind him. “You are the only person besides Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei to ever see this room.”
“I see.” Shikamaru said, walking toward the door. Once they were out, and Naruto had pulled the door shut behind them, Shika felt much better.
“I like the living room.”
“Yeah, thought you would.” Naruto said. “Want something to drink?”
“Water would be good.” Shika said, nodding.
As Naruto got his water, Shika took it upon himself to go back into the living room and sit on the couch. It was as he figured it would be.
Damn.Comfortable.
He would have to ask Naruto where this couch had come from so he could get himself one.
“Here ya go.” Naruto said, handing Shikamaru a glass. He then came and sat next to Shika on the couch.
“Thanks.” Shikamaru said, sipping the drink and setting the glass on the stand next to him.
“So, this is my house.” Naruto said. “What do you think?”
Shika looked at his blue eyes, staring into his own expectantly.
“It is pretty decent.” Shikamaru said.
Naruto nodded but didn’t say anything. They sat in silence for a minute or two, before Shikamaru began to get extremely tired. Damn couch. It was using some seriously strong comfort mojo to get him to lay on it.
“Are you alright, Shikamaru?” Naruto asked, a small smile on his face.
“I need to get home.” Shika replied, even though at that point, he was pretty sure he wasn’t going to go home.
“Umm, are you sure?” Naruto asked. “Because you look really tired. It‘s alright if you stay.”
“It’s your couch!” Shikamaru said. He was already giving in. He looked over and saw that Naruto was looking at him, one yellow eyebrow cocked into his hairline. Then he was asleep.
**********
Shikamaru cracked his eyes open. He was in an unfamiliar room. He sat up quickly before realizing that he was in Naruto’s living room. It took him another second to realize he heard yelling, which is what had woke him up.
He got up and went toward Naruto’s room, where the yelling was coming from. He was quiet, in case he had to ambush someone. He didn’t hear anyone other than Naruto though.
He peeked through the cracked door and saw that Naruto was in bed, obviously having a nightmare. He went into the room and looked at the blonde, who was covered in sweat and thrashing and yelling wildly.
“Naruto.” Shika said quietly. He put his hand on Naruto’s shoulder and the blonde jerked away, sitting up and throwing his arms around Shikamaru before he could back away.
“Naruto, what…”
Before he could say anything else, Naruto was kissing him. Kissing him softly and desperately. Shikamaru pulled away and looked at the half asleep blonde.
“…Sasuke…” Naruto cried. “Please don’t leave me.”
The blonde turned away and curled into a ball on his bed.
Shika didn’t know what to do. He wanted to comfort Naruto, but he didn’t want to be put in an awkward position. He heard the blonde take a shuddering breath and made up his mind. He climbed into bed and pulled the blonde’s back against his chest. Naruto seemed to instantly relax, and within minutes his breathing had deepened.
Shikamaru didn’t sleep anymore that night.

Well.. Hmm.
I will post the next chapter when it is my tsuma’s birthday. Just another month to wait. But it will be an interesting chapter.
