A/n This is more of an experamental story more than anything so feel free run over it with a semi when reviewing. I wrote this one on an hour of sleep in a 48 hour period so naturally it's gonna suck. sighs OH well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way shape or form. Trust me if I did I would not be made for the kiddies.
First Shot
. Sleep .
A Shikara Pairing
She couldn't remember the day when he first said those important little words. Every word, simple, meaningless by themselves. However when they were strung together gave vocalization to the most powerful emotion in existence.
Sakura sighed as she leaned her head back. It fell against her husband's shoulder who grunted lightly and shifted to accommodate her. She felt the vibration of his body as toned muscles rippled lightly with the movement.
"Shikamaru," Sakura spoke suddenly breaking the peaceful silence. "I just realized I don't remember the first time you told me that you loved me." She glanced up at his ruggedly handsome face. "Don't you think that's weird?"
Silence greeted her question then a loud snore erupted from the man.
A small frown crossed her face as she processed the information. Her husband had fallen asleep while they were supposed to be spending time together. Again. As she opened her mouth to demand that he wake his lazy ass up, sudden guilt rose up, and her mouth snapped shut.
Shikamaru did after all just come back from a three month long mission. He did need to catch up on some much needed sleep. In fact the only reason they were outside was because Sakura demanded that they had to catch up. Three months was a long time to be apart after all. She felt more than a little guilty that she drug him out instead of insisting he got rest. The way not only a good medic would do but a good wife.
She sighed an leaned up to gently graze his jaw with her lips in light kiss. Then she wrapped her arm around his waist and curled up into his side like a cat. "You know Shikamaru you can miss out on a lot if you keep falling asleep."
Sakura let her jade eyes close as she let his spicy male scent lure her into the dream land she believed her husband to be in. Soon the soft breathing was the only sound in the small clearing where they took their outing
A small smile played over the spiky haired males lips as he felt his wife go to sleep. One eye opened slowly and glanced down at the pink head cradled by his shoulder. "Likewise Sakura". He murmured softly.
He had been awake for the last hour just quietly enjoying the feel of his pink haired wife against him. He had heard her earlier question but fringed sleep rather than get into a troublesome conversation about the first time he had told her he loved her. Mostly because the first time he said I love you, she hadn't heard him.
Nope. The first time he had gotten up the courage to tell the woman that he loved her she had been up all night healing his almost fatal wounds, from an earlier mission. A well placed kunai had almost taken his life. Sakura who was only his girl friend at the time struggled to heal the bloody gash using up most of her chakra.
The thought of one of them dying before he could tell her how he felt was a sufficient enough kick in the pants to say what he had been putting off. So he shut his eyes and opened his mouth And spoke the dreaded words. 'I love you.'
Silence had met his words and for a moment her thought she was rejecting his feelings when he had opened his eyes. A very asleep pink haired medic was slouched over him. Apparently she had fainted from the over use of chakra.
Naturally the woman couldn't remember the first time he told her he loved her. She had been snoring through it.
A/n There you go. Really short I know. I'll write something longer and better when I get some sleep. Review please. : )
