A small drabble made for a livejournal prompt... enjoy!
"Seriously, is that all you can cook?"
"Uh huh" he confirmed, yawning. "What's the problem?"
"The problem is, lazy ass, that I'm on a diet" explained Ino carefully, as if she was talking to a child. "A diet that doesn't include only pancakes for breakfast, but rather more nutritive stuff. So start learning something else."
"What a drag" sighed Shikamaru. "Can't you just forget about the diet? You look well like this."
Ino's cheeks blushed momentarily before she replied.
"I need to maintain my perfect figure, of course. A thing you should know by now."
"Well, all I can do is pancakes" the young ninja thought for a moment. "What can you do for breakfast?"
"Oh my dear, I can cook so many things" commented Ino with a smile, as if the matter was laughable.
"Like what?"
"Many things" she said, avoiding the question. "So, you think you could do that? For me?"
Shikamaru stared into her pleading blue eyes for a moment, until he broke eye contact with a sigh, obviously bored of the issue.
"It's troublesome, but I guess I'll have to do it."
"Thanks, dear" smiled Ino, granting him a kiss on the cheek. "But just for today, we'll make an exception. Let's get some pancakes now."
