Push
School Holidays are nearly over so I'm gonna put a fic up. Consider it a present or something.
Cloud watching was good today, the clouds were large and puffy, and a gentle breeze caressed his face. Shikamaru absorbed the sky with his eyes. Cloud watching was a release from his now busy life, it let him think. Think about Temari, think about their relationship, or think about what was for dinner.
At this particular time, Shikamaru was thinking about when he first met Temari. Their first fight.
Shika POV
I never would have jumped into that arena if it wasn't for Naruto. I had felt so nervous before that fight. Everyone was forfeiting, Sasuke was late, and my opponent Dosu hadn't even shown up. The crowd was anxious, yelling for their precious Sasuke and that blonde chick from Suna was giving me the evil eye.
I didn't want to fight that day, but Naruto pushed me into it. And I became a chunnin.
I owed that to Naruto. In fact Naruto had pushed me into a lot of my future. Like that time I fought Tayuya, the sound ninja. Kimimaru had hijacked Sasuke from our grasp; we had to follow in pursuit. But the female was left to take care of, and there was still the problem of Kiba and the other sound ninja. But Naruto pushed me into another fight.
Aside from the fact that the girl had nearly slit my throat, that fight had given me the opportunity to see Temari again, and after defeating my enemy, she flirted with me. Thanks again Naruto.
Nothing happened for a while after that. But when Naruto showed up again, things became troublesome again. Gaara was kidnapped, this creepy guy called Sai appeared, the Akatsuki attacked numerous times. And Asuma died. It seemed trouble would always follow that guy. And after Pein attacked, the village needed their allies more than ever. Temari had more frequent visits, and we just got closer and closer. So close in fact I was on the verge of asking her out. But... I just couldn't.
Naruto knew this. So when he, Sakura, Temari, a few others and I went to the movies, he had the nerve to push me again.
Though this time it was literally. Bastard. I landed against her lips, with my lips. It was the most embarrassing moment of my entire life. In the end she asked me out.
Yep, Naruto helped me out a lot, I really owed him a lot.
End Shikamaru POV
Standing up, Shikamaru brushed some grass of his pants. Maybe a certain ninja would wake up to a gift basket.
"Full of ramen vouchers." Shikamaru thought, smirking.
Done! Hope everyone has a good year. R&R, it's not hard the buttons underneath the text. All you have do is click it and type something.
