Oshogatsu Kissu

-New Year Kiss-

I figured there weren't nearly enough stories for Neji and Shika, so I decided

to make this super fluffy one-shot. What can I say? I wuv teh fluff. Enjoy!! -sigh- Reminder:

I don't own Naruto. If I did, you all know there'd be shonen-ai fluff and yaoi everywhere and Sakura

and Ino would die in some gruesome accident X3.

Shikamaru Nara wasn't big on celebrating holidays. This included New Years. Whoop-dee-doo, so another year passed by...who really gave a flying shit. All New Years was was basically just an excuse for everyone to get drunk and not get yelled at. Nara wasn't one to drink. He was one to sleep, look at clouds...anything that didn't have any actual work behind it. New Years, in his eyes, was work. So, he decided he would just stay inside. That way, he wouldn't have to deal with Ino bugging him about how lazy he was not to at least come outside and watch the fireworks or Chouji chomping on his chips the whole time. Ah, yes. Probably his best idea this whole year...

Neji Hyuga sat up, rubbing his eyes. He then remembered it was New Years Eve and groaned, pulling the covers back over his head. Oh, how he hated New Years. New years meant tougher training from sensei. Yesterday had been the worse. He was still sore... Maybe he would just stay inside and watch the fireworks from the window or his roof or something. Yeah...

Unfortunately, neither of the boy's plans worked. Shikamaru's mother had forced him outside and Neji's uncle had bothered him to his wits end. So, they were both outside. Shikamaru was hiding in a tree to avoid Ino and be able to watch the fireworks at the same time while the Hyuga was leaning against said tree. Both boys had the same thoughts: 'What a waste of time...' The Nara leaned against the trunk of the tree, closing his eyes. May as well take a short nap before the fireworks were to start. As he sunk into his light slumber, he began to slip ever so slightly on the branch. He slipped until only half of his body remained on the branch. His slight movement to get more comfortable caused him to fall and land on the Hyuga below, causing them both to tumble to the ground. Shikamaru rubbed his head, then sweatdropped realizing his sudden landing upon the Hyuga. "Ah, gomen Neji." He apologized, getting up and offering Neji a hand. Neji takes it. "So what are you doing out here, Nara? I thought you would be inside on New Years..." Shikamaru scoffed. "Yeah, whatever. And what about you, Hyuga? Why aren't you inside?" Neji sighed. "I just wanted some fresh air. See the fireworks." "Hn" was Shikamaru's reply. "So, you weren't planning on ringing in the New Year with a special someone?" Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "That's just a stupid tradition that couples do. Or drunk strangers." Neji smirked. "Yeah, I suppose." Their eyes then tilted upwards toward the fireworks in the sky. Neji took this opportunity to lightly kiss the younger Nara. Shikamaru, slightly surprised, didn't necessarily know what to do. He blushed slightly when Neji removed his lips from Shikamaru's, then smirked. "Happy New Year, Shikamaru."

Owari!

Hehe! Told you it was fluffy! Neji Shika wuv
