I remember when we first met
Warm summer day, sun kissing your pale skin and my tan
We were Genin
You fell, and – I won't lie – I wanted to laugh
I didn't though. Lucky you.
We fought, and you won.
But you gave up.
You forfeited, and let me win.
Why?
The next time I saw you, I saved your life.
That flute ninja was about to kill you
I knew she would.
You were surprised I was there.
You hadn't seen me since the invasion, I know.
I wasn't an enemy anymore.
I'm your ally.
Easily, I beat your red haired, flute-playing opponent.
It was almost too easy.
To tell the truth, the look on your face was priceless when you saw that I blew her away.
I didn't like seeing you that way in the hospital ward.
I'm sorry your dad called you a coward on my behalf.
I'm sorry he scolded you
I'm sorry you cried
I never really feel sorry, but right then I did.
The news came and my sorrow turned into joy.
I was happy for you.
I'm glad your friends were okay.
I'm so glad.
The next time we met, I was the one about to die.
That woman was good, I'll give her that.
I got knocked into a tree trunk
And I passed out for a moment.
I woke up being controlled by your shadow possession.
I would have died otherwise.
You saved me.
Thank you.
We argued, I know
But we made a good team –
We won.
That woman didn't know what hit her.
We blew her away.
Well, I did, technically, but whatever.
That girl with you,
Why was she there?
We didn't need her
She didn't need to be there
So why did you bring her?
Thank you for following me to see Gaara.
He was okay, and so was Matsuri.
And it was all because of you
You and your teammates
You did well, Cry baby.
When I found out you were my guide
I was ecstatic
My heart soared
But I didn't ell you
You'll never know how I feel
Or, I though you wouldn't.
Naruto being nosy nearly gave me a fucking heart attack.
Are you two on a date, too?
I don't think so
But I kind of wanted to be.
Too bad I can't read minds.
I love you, Shikamaru Nara
And I want you to always know that.
