Summary[NejiShika Drabble-ish Neji's learning to enjoy the simple things.
Shikamaru enjoys the simple things in life.
He likes to feel the sun on his face on a nice day. Like to play Shougi for the fun of it. Likes lying there and laughing at absolutely nothing simply because he can. Likes watching the clouds float on by. Likes giving spontaneous kisses just because.
Neji didn't really understand the importance of enjoying the simple things until he met Shikamaru.
Neji's life had always been about tomorrow. Tomorrow when he would become stronger. Tomorrow when he would achieve the next shinobi rank. Tomorrow when he would finally break free of the bird seal.
Somewhere along the line he forget to enjoy today. Forgot that there might not always be a tomorrow. Not for him, not for Shikamaru, not for any of their friends.
He forget that they might end up as dead as his father tomorrow.
Shikamaru has taught him to enjoy today.
So Neji sits here with a book in his hand, Shikamaru's head in his lap, and the sun on his face and he can't help but smile.
Because it really is the simple things in life that matter most.
End Simple Things.
