ShikaIno
Guess what
She liked him. He liked her. She knew it. He knew it. They even knew each other knew it.
And yet…
Neither of them did anything about it.
Yes; they wondered why too.
She saw how he covered her in battle, even though they both knew she could take care of herself, how he would be strong enough for the both of them, even if he struggled to be strong just for him.
He saw the extra medical supplies she would bring, and saw her eyes glaze over as he knew she was mentally checking them off just for him.
She saw how he would get jealous underneath those lazy eyes, whenever another man smiled at her, she saw his promise to protect her in his eyes, saved just for her.
He saw the silent fire in her eyes whenever a certain sand shinobi even came close to him, and knew how she could turn deadly serious in this matter, unlike others perceived her. He had seen her in battle for both their lives after all.
And they STILL never did anything.
Did they?
He knew.
She knew.
Both knew it.
They were in love.
Neji and Tenten had gotten together, one night at their training grounds. The details are too maturely rated however, so be satisfied with the mention that Neji never was one to take things slow, and he got what he wanted.
Neji and Tenten wondered why it took those two so long.
Naruto and Hinata had become an item, after much blushing and stammering, Hinata finally got up the nerve to ask him out. He has never been more loved, and he knows it. As a matter of fact, neither has she.
They wondered as well, why the two hadn't gotten together.
As the people of Konoha slowly paired off, all wondered; why haven't they done anything? Everyone saw the tie binding them together. No one dare make a move on either, knowing they would be murdered in the middle of the night by the other.
So why hadn't they done anything?
Everyone was surprised when Ino became pregnant.
Who's the dad? They asked.
My Husband. She answered.
Who's your husband? They exclaimed.
Shikamaru, of course. She stated.
Because guess what? They were together long before anyone else was.
And by the way; the parents knew. But they were sworn to secrecy on the threat of no grandchildren.
'As if.' Both Ino and Shikamaru thought, but they didn't need to know that.
