Hi, all! Okay, my second story, wow. Okay, this is the companion story to MillicentRaven's "Troublesome Woman". Which you should read. http// www . fanfiction .net /s/ 3333451/ 1 /

My friend and teammate, Nara Shikamaru is lazy. Actually "lazy" is an understatement. I swear, sometimes, I think that if he didn't need food, water, some kinda exercise to survive, and he wasn't a ninja, he'd spend all day, every day on that stupid hill… doing that stupid cloud-watching activity he loves so much.

In fact, if someone had come up to me and told me, that Shikamaru's a genius, I'd probably die laughing. It's one of those things that you have to see to believe.

It's almost hard to believe that there was once a time when I thought that Shika was more stupid than Naruto.

And that's stupid.

I swear, Shikamaru is so lazy that sometimes, it's just plain scary. Sakura once told me that he slept through a battle. A battle. Who else could sleep through a battle because he "didn't wanna get involved"? Only Shikamaru.

In the ninja academy, he always slept through all the tests. Said it was "a drag to even pick up his pencil." So he'd fall asleep. And unlike, other students, he didn't attempt to hide it. Often, I'd catch myself watching him before he'd fall asleep. He followed the same routine: he'd cross his arms on his desk, first his right one, then his left one, then he'd let his head just plop, face covered. 99.9 percent of the time, the instructor noticed and threw something at him to wake him up.

And he'd stay awake.

For three minutes. Then plop! Went his head.

When we grew older, and Shikamaru and I were placed on the same Genin team, after a bunch of arguments over really stupid stuff, we began to grow close.

Extremely close.

So close, in fact, that it just felt weird to look around and not see him sleeping, looking absentmindedly staring out the window at the clouds, or some other Shikamaru-ish thing.

Sakura says that it's because I'm getting feelings for him; I laughed in her face. I am not getting feelings for that lazy bum. Granted, I don't hate the boy, but Shikamaru is so not my type. My type of guy is sweet, kind, loves showing me with complements, gifts and gives me everything I could ever want. Like Sai.

And Shikamaru is… well, he can be sweet, he is kind, (if not somewhat annoying at times.) but he does not shower me with complements; he does, however, give credit where credit is due. He doesn't — won't give me everything I want.

But, hypothetically, what if all I want is him? I don't want him, but what if I did? I mean, Shika's not bad, like I said earlier, and he's hot. When we were on a mission once, we stayed in the same house and I saw him right when he got out of the shower.

All those ninja years have been very, very good to him. No wonder he's beginning to get fangirls as rabid as Sasuke's or Neji's.

The fangirls annoy me.

A lot.

They should die.

By me.

Alright, I'll admit it. The lazy Shikamaru Nara had caught my eye.

Now all that's left is to get him to stop freakin' ignoring me!

Sorry if that's not as good as Milli's but...whatever. I wrote it! I said I would, and I did. cuz I'm cool that way.
