I feel guilty for my lack of updates on One Messed Up Alphabet, I'm trying to write a little ahead XD
So here is a random short fic for no reason! XD
"What?!" Naruto lifted his head off the ground, the catastrophic mess of now ruined ramen surrounded him and a bowl rolled straight into a corner where it sulked, momentarily forgotten.
"You heard me." Shikamaru- who was flipping through a manual on strategy maneuvers while sprawled out on his favorite couch- drawled out with an unfazed glance. "Next time Sasuke corners you be nice to him instead of screaming your head off."
"Be nice?" The words bounced off the walls, squirming back in his ears and settling in his brain with a whole new level of meaning, causing him to shriek. "That's your genius advice!"
When Shikamaru finally bothered to call him up with a promise of free ramen and the most brilliant plan ever to get rid of the evil bastard that was Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto was hoping for something that would let him punch the asshole's face in. Okay so maybe those weren't his exact words, and maybe Shikamaru was a little less enthusiastic about it, but who cares?! This was still nuts!
"Take it or leave it moron." The book he was flipping through fell to the floor with a thud, his hand following after, coming to rest on the edge of the couch. Shikamaru stared at the book, as if contemplating if it was worth the trouble of sitting up and bending over to read. "It's not my problem if you don't trust me."
Naruto frowned, pouting at the defiled ramen. Shikamaru obviously knew things he didn't right? No one is that nerdy without survival tactics, he reasoned. And with that thought Naruto started the inevitable chain of reactions that would most likely result in his death.
"I trust you."
