My very first fanfic…... . be nice
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…. If I did, I'd be off vacationing in the Bahamas.
It all started a few days-no, weeks ago. These strange feelings and emotions, centered over a certain lazy genius with an IQ of 200, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty. They didn't know why they happened, or how. Ino and Shikamaru were just best friends and nothing else. Or were they? People always thought they were a little too close to be "just best buddies". It was true, too. Everybody knew. Everybody except those two. When Ino was upset, she'd always go to Shikamaru. Not that he minded. In fact, he always felt this strange gladness, when she came to him. He'd willingly let her cry her heart out, with her face buried in his chest, and he'd hold her, and wipe away her tears. Who knew such a lazy ninja could be so tender? He never showed this kind of affection to anyone else, not even Temari. Only to Ino, was he so tender so loving. No wonder Ino went to him.
And when she was happy? She'd run to Shikamaru first thing, to share her good news, and he was always so happy, to see her happy. And yet, they were so oblivious to the fact that they were falling for each other, until now. Shikamaru was the first to feel, Ino to notice. Notice the strange way Shikamaru looked at her sometimes. A dark, passionate look filled with such want, it made her heart pound so hard, she thought the whole world could hear.
And Shikamaru? There were these times when he felt this sudden pang of love and want, deep in his heart, when he looked at her. He felt strangely jealous when he saw Ino paying attention to another guy. But most of all, he would suddenly notice things about her that he normally wouldn't notice. And that only increased his desire for her.
So it all began when….
