This is my Schmoop Bingo for the prompt cloud watching. Yes, I already have a story called Cloud Watching but alas, its for MR and was a giftfic for Brenna.

Warnings: Yaoi, slash, shounein-ai, whatever you want to call it. Two guys kissing. Nuff said, if you gonna hate, stop! Hatin's bad! But seriously, if you're going to flame, don't knock love. And itll just give me another little number under the review section.

Anyhoozers, on with the story!


This had been their activity for as long as Chouji could remember. They would lay on that same hill, him eating as Shikamaru watched the clouds drift by.

Today was different, it was more romantic. Not that anything signifigant had really changed, other than their feelings for each other, discovered mutually after six hours in a hospital room together after an accident on their last mission.

They were still laying on the same hill, and Chouji was still eating potatoe chips while his boyfriend was still watching the clouds drift by.

"Have you ever wished you could be a cloud? With no ties, no place to be, just left to drift with the wind..." Chouji didn't answer, instead opting to feed the Nara heir another chip, looking slightly sad.

"But I don't want to be a cloud." Shikamaru continued, "I wouldn't be with you." The Akimichi could feel himself blushing, the heat pooling in his chubby cheeks quickly.

"Shika..."

And there was no reply, just more cloud watching, and more chip eating. It was still different.

A good different.
