This was one of my favourite stories to write. So please review and tell me what you think. Not much more to say really :P
They lied down in the field, looking straight up into the sky.
The two friends watched the clouds move silently.
"Beautiful day, isn't it?" Temari said.
"Yeah."
"So why are you so down?" she asked him.
"Why are you?" Shikamaru replied.
Temari sighed. "You know why."
"Because love is stupid?"
She gave a louder, more aggravated sigh. "Yeah."
Shikamaru smiled, though sadness was shown on his face. "I second that."
"Well how was I supposed to know Kiba was some sort of player, leading me on like that?"
"You weren't supposed to know, that was the point of him leading you on."
"Shut up."
He closed his eyes.
"What about you?"
Shikamaru remained with his eyes closed. "When certain friends tell certain girls that someone likes them, only to have it thought of as a joke, well it sort of brings you down."
Rather than sympathising, she giggled. "Ino laughed?"
Shikamaru frowned. "Shut up."
More silence came between them.
Temari sat up. "Why does love have to be so, so troublesome?"
"That's my word woman," Shikamaru said.
"I don't care," she snapped.
Temari breathed deeply. "Sorry."
"It's alright."
She groaned.
"Love," Shikamaru began, turning around. "Why do we have to go through such troublesome feelings?"
She smirked. Her head began to turn. "Yeah. We should just forget about it. Just forget about love and –"
Their eyes came into contact.
Slowly, they leaned closely to each other, as if waiting for the other to make a move.
They both averted their gazes to the opposite direction, in order to hide the blushes that came.
"And watch the clouds," Shikamaru said, attempting to break the awkwardness between them.
"Uh, yeah," she said, lying back down, watching him do the same.
"Let's just forget about love, and watch the clouds."
End.
