[[A/N]] Ok, so I came home early and now I'm procrastinating. This idea came to me after a conversation about what exactly love is... it's short because it's a story and if I had to detail absolutely everything I know on the subject it would (1) not be interesting and (2) not be a story. If the subject interests you Google it.
"Shikamaru?" Ino had been sat next to the brunette for a while now, not speaking, simply watching the clouds.
"Yeah," Shikamaru replied.
"What do you think love feels like?"
Shikamaru sat up and looked at his blonde teammate in confusion. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"How do you know when you're in love?" she said.
"Well," Shikamaru started. "Love is just a chemical reaction in the brain that occurs to make sure we reproduce. It affects everyone differently."
"I'm not asking what love is," Ino sighed, shaking her head. "I want to know what you think it feelslike."
"That's really troublesome to think about, Ino," he said turning to the sky again. "I suppose because of the dopamine and norepin –"
"Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru turned back to Ino.
"Feelings, not technical stuff," she told him with a slight smile. Sometimes he wished he wasn't a genius.
"Fine," he said. "It feels blissful, exciting; it fills you fear but at the same time, you feel calm and secure."
"But why?"
"It's just a chemical reaction. 100,000 different chemical reactions occur in the normal human brain every second, Ino, you expect me to detail every single one that makes us feel like this?"
[[A/N]] Yeah, it's short, I'm very much aware of that fact. I know I'm meant to be updating Home at the moment but I haven't typed it up yet and tomorrow I have to help people Christmas-afy their homes for my Godchildren so assuming I get it typed it tomorrow night, it'll be up then. The good news is that it's (mostly) written.
