Author's Note

This is an rp that I did with a friend by request by me. I adore this pairing. So, Enjoy!

Kiba sighs, sitting down with Akamaru, petting him happily.

Shikamaru sees him, walking over silently.

Kiba mumbles to Akamaru, scratching behind his ears.

Shikamaru tilts his head, moving closer quietly.

"You know, maybe he isn't as smart as he looks...I mean seriously, is it really that hard to notice?" Kiba asks his companion, sighing.

Shikamaru blinks, leaning against a tree confused.

Akamaru whines, laying his head down on Kiba's lap, licking his hand comfortingly. Kiba sighs. "Yeah...You're right..."

Shikamaru sighs softly, thinking.

Kiba leans on the fluffy white dog. "I just wished he'd actually notice me some..." He says sadly.

Shikamaru mutters to himself softly as he stands up straight, "Troublesome man..."

Kiba blinks and lets go of his dog, looking over his shoulder. "Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru nods slightly, walking over. "Hm."

Kiba blinks, his eyes wide. "Um, I-I'll just be...going now..." He mumbles, standing up.

"That's not necessary, Kiba. I was going to join you."

"Oh..okay..." He sits back down.

Shikamaru sits down beside him, leaning back against his elbow and looking up at the sky."Beautiful day."

Kiba nods, playing with Akamaru's fur idly. "Unhm."

Shika looks over Kiba, eyebrow raised. "Something's on your mind..."

He shrugs.

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Are you going to tell me what or not? I can tell it's bothering you."

Kiba shakes his head. "You don't wanna know."

"Yes I do."

Akamaru whines softly, nudging Kiba's hand

Shika tilts his head slightly, blinking.

Kiba shakes his head again, muttering to the canine.

Shikamaru sighs softly, watching a bird fly from one tree to another.

Akamaru growls at Kiba lightly, pawing him until he sighs in defeat. "Fine."

Shikamaru lies back, crossing his arms behind his head.

"Do you want to know?"

"Mhm."

"Well, it's because I think I'm making it painstakingly easy for a certain someone that I like them, and I don't think that they even get it.":

"Trust me, they get it."

Kiba shakes his head. "No. I don't think they do."

Shika sits up, shaking his head. "Kiba, just because I didn't say something sooner, doesn't mean I didn't notice."

"Yeah well if they di-HUH?"

Shika chuckles softly, sitting up. "I just needed a little time to think."

He blushes slightly.

Shika smiles slightly. "Kiba... And yes, I like you too."

"What if I wasn't talking about you?"

Shikamaru raises an eyebrow. "Oh really?"

Kiba doesn't say anything.

Shikamaru stands up, stretching. "Well then, I guess I'll just leave. Later Kiba."

HIs eyes widen. "I didn't say I did!"

"You didn't have to." He starts walking with his hands in his pockets, staring up at the sky.

Akamaru growls and pounces on Shikamaru carefully, pinning him down so that he can't get away.

Shika blinks multiple times. "I was not expecting that..."

"Akamaru! Down! I mean Off! I mean-GAH You Know What I Mean!"

Shikamaru raises an eyebrow.

Akamaru whines and licks Shikamaru's face before getting off of him. Kiba sighs, running a hand through his hair. "You okay?"

Shikamaru nods, rubbing his face gently. "Yea..."

Kiba looks down at the ground, fiddling with his shirt. "...Sorry..."

Shika stands up, shrugging. "It's alright..."

"Shika..."

"Hm?"

Kiba looks over at him, sighing. "I don't like someone else."

Shikamaru sighs softly, muttering, "You're so troublesome..."

Kiba shrugs. "Yeah well...so are you."

Shikamaru smiles slightly, shaking his head. He walks over and kisses his cheek gently. "I know."

Kiba blinks and then smiles slowly.

Shika rolls his eyes, starting to walk away. "You coming or not?"

Kiba walks after him, Akamaru following him.

Shika leads him to his small apartment, opening the door and holding it open.

Kiba walks in, glancing around curiously.

Shika stretches, heading for the kitchen.

Kiba follows after him, his hands in his pockets.

Shikamaru starts making some tea, lost in thought.

He leans against the door frame.

Shika pours some tea, offering a cup to Kiba.

He takes it, mumbling a thanks.

Shikamaru nods, sipping his while he heads out into the living room. He sits on the couch carefully.

Kiba sighs and takes a sip.

Shika looks over at him, raising an eyebrow.

Kiba takes another drink, thinking.

Shikamaru looks over at Akamaru, tilting his head slightly.

Akamaru sticks his tongue out.

Shikamaru blinks, raising an eyebrow.

Akamaru bounds up and licks his face happily.

Shikamaru smiles slightly, rubbing his head gently. "Good to see you too, Akamaru."

Kiba smiles as Akamaru barks, sitting down on Shikamaru.

"Akamaru..." He sighs, carefully setting his cup on the floor.

He barks again.

Shika shakes his head, gently trying to push him off. "Troublesome dog..."

Akamaru whines softly, putting his ears back.

Shika sighs, facepalming. "I didn't mean it like that Akamaru..."

Kiba crosses his arms, watching amusedly. Akamaru give Shikamaru the puppy-dog eyes and nudges his hand, whining.

Shikamaru sighs, petting him softly. "I'm sorry, ok?"

Akamaru licks his cheek softly, excepting the apology.

Shikamaru smiles slightly, scratching behind his ears.

Kiba shakes his head, laughing quietly as Akamaru smiles happily.

Shika smiles, sitting up.

Akamaru jumps down and wags his tail. Kiba smiles and finishes his tea.

Shikamaru shakes his head, picking up his cup and taking it into the kitchen.

Kiba walks into the kitchen and places his cup in the sink. "Thanks."

Shika nods. "Your welcome."

Akamaru runs up behind Kiba and jumps on him, sending him crashing into Shikamaru.

Shikamaru falls and looks up, blinking.

Kiba catches himself on the ground, straddling Shikamaru's hips. He looks down at Shika and blushes softly. "Ummmmmm...S-sorry..."

Shikamaru looks over at Akamaru, his eyes narrowed. "He planned this... Didn't he?"

Kiba nods, glancing over at the culprit. "Yeah. He did." Akamaru sticks his tongue out and walks away from them.

Shikamaru sighs, shaking his head. "He's good..."

Kiba nods again, looking down at him.

Shikamaru looks up at him, blushing slightly. "Uhm..."

He blinks and blushes darker. "Yeah..." He carefully sits up, trying to not push up against Shika.

Shikamaru pulls him back down, kissing him gently.

Kiba blinks a few times before kissing him back softly, his eyes closing.

Shika smiles slightly.

Kiba presses his lips to his again, smiling.

Shikamaru gently trails his hands down his torso, nibbling on his lip.

He gasps lightly, shivering.

Shikamaru smirks slightly, pulling him closer.

Kiba pulls his ponytail out, running his fingers through his hair.

Shika kisses him gently, ghosting his fingertips along his jaw and neck.

Kiba kisses him back, goose bumps appearing on his skin.

Shika pulls back, leaning his head againist the floor and looking up.

Shika?" Kiba asks quietly, blinking.

"Hm?"

"Are we, you know...like...going out now...?"

Shikamaru tilts his head, raising an eyebrow. "I think that's kind of obvious now..."

Kiba blushes softly. "I was just making sure."

Shika smiles softly, kissing his cheek. "I think we should move this elsewhere... Troublesome floor..."

Kiba laughs and gets up, offering Shika a hand.

Shikamaru smiles, taking it and standing up.

Kiba kisses his cheek, smiling.

Shika smiles, heading to the couch and plopping down.

Kiba sits down next to him, leaning agianst his shoulder.

Shikamaru wraps an arm around his waist, laying his head against his.

Kiba sighs contently and nuzzles closer, closing his eyes.

Shikamaru sighs, thinking.

Kiba looks over at him. "Whatcha thiking about?"

Shika raises an eyebrow. "You mean what I'm not thinking about."

"That may be an easy question to answer..."

Shikamaru shakes his head, smiling slightly.

Kiba smiles softly and leans his head against Shika's.

Shikamaru hugs him close, closing his eyes.

Kiba huggles closer, managing to slide onto Shika's lap.

Shika opens his eyes and blinks.

KIba curls up against his chest, breathing deeply.

Shikamaru sighs, muttering to himself as he closes his eyes again. "Troublesome man..."

"You too."

Shikamaru smiles slightly, chuckling. He tightens his hold on Kiba, breathing slowly.

Kiba nuzzles his chest, sighing happily.

Shikamaru kisses his head softly, sighing as he falls asleep.

Kiba smiles serenly as he drifts to sleep.
