A/N: Lalalalala. I have more serious fic's on the grill but I couldn't help but to do this short. It just popped in my head. So~o... Enjoy ^,~
Plus I'm having serious writer's block with my other stories. I know where I want them to go but getting there's lies the problem...
Anywho's...
Surnames
Puffy white billows of clouds rolled across the immaculate blue sky over the quiet town of Konoha. It was a warm fall afternoon while two young ninjas, Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru, were lying back on a bench at the top of a building where cloud watching could be enjoyed in its finest. So, taking advantage of the last stretch of warm weather before the cold cusp of winter took their town, they soaked it up. The two best friends sat in silence as shared a bag of bbq potato chips peacefully... Or so one thought.
"How does Akimichi Ino sound?" Chouj asked nonchalantly in between bites.
Not expecting that strange and random question Shikamaru cast a quick glance away from the clouds above and nervously glanced at his larger friend.
"Weird," He stated quickly. To his knowledge the two weren't even dating so the idea of them marrying went way above his head- and that was very hard to do. Not that he would really care if they dated it would just be... weird. Shikamaru propped himself on his elbows and continued to look at Choji incredulously. "Why would you ask such a thing?" He asked worriedly that something was going on with his teammates that he was unaware of.
Choji just shrugged and took another handful of chips. "Nothing really. Just trying out girl's names with mine. Akimichi Sakura doesn't sound right... Akimichi TenTen... doesn't sound that bad though. I don't know- I think with a last name as long as mine I need someone with a shorter name to balance it off..."
After Choji drifted off into his thoughts and stuffed his face with more chips Shikamaru continued to stare at him. "Choji," he let out an audible sigh, "putting names to last names is something girls do. It's weird for men like us to do it." Shikamaru once again laid back and brought his attention back to his beloved clouds.
"Troublesome..."
"...Akimichi Ayame."
Shikamaru couldn't help but let out a laugh on that one and sit up to stare at his friend. "Ayame? You've got to be kidding me."
"Hey, a guy can dream can't he?" Choji said smiling. "... Yep- definitely Akimichi Ayame. We're meant to be."
"You've gone completely nuts," Shikamaru stated- though also smiling.
"Come on Shikamaru. I thought it was weird at first too but after I started I thought it was kind of fun. Come on- you try it."
"I'm not attaching some random girl to my surname."
"Come on- indulge me. Plea~se," Choji begged.
Shikamaru grunted and waited a few seconds and muttered a quick "fine." He would play his friend's odd little game if it would make him happy.
"Nara Temari." He said soon after.
"Nara Temari," Choji repeated. "Nara Temari... You know that has a nice ring to it. It flows nicely of the tounge. Who else?"
Still staring at the sky placidly a coy smile crossed Shikamaru's face.
"... Just Temari."
~~~~~~~~~~~~Fin.
That's it. I know this is a weird one but I like like that. So... whenever I hear an super special awesome last name I almost always true it out with my own. It's just something I do... Deathrage... that was a good last name... * cough * So thus- this was born... Hope you liked it! Please review! Reviews are my ambrosia!
