Hey, I decided to try and do a collection. Hope this is alright.
Intoxicating
"Hey Shika," Ino called to the lazy boy.
They were currently watching the clouds go by in his favorite spot. Shikamaru was laying down and Ino was sitting beside him, holding her knees to her chest.
"Hm?" He looked over at her. She was smelling a flower she held in her hand.
"Do you think everybody has a smell? You know something that smells good and you can tell its that person when you get close?"
"Well...yeah. How else do you think dogs can smell a certain person and know it's them?" He asked.
"Yeah," Ino agreed. They lasped into a peaceful silence again.
"Hey Shika," Ino called again. He rolled his eyes and looked over at the talkative girl.
"Yes Ino," he sighed. She laid down to be at his level and faced him.
"What do you think I smell like?"
Does she realize how odd this conversation is? he thought.
"I don't know. Something tangy, but sweet. Also, like its mixed with something, " he said. You're intoxicating- wait, where did that come from?"
"But...what?" she asked.
"Um...lemons and...something. Pear or some exotic flower," Shikamaru said.
"Oh, okay. Hey, I think you're a...warm smell."
"That's not a smell."
"Well, you have a very unique scent. It's a warm, rich smell mixed with something like grass," she said, then shrugged. "I don't know."
"Grass?" he asked incredulousy, sitting up and looking at her.
"I mean a nice, calming smell that's fresh and kind of sweet but also...well you know like I said before. Warm and rich," she said.
"Hm," he lay back again.
...It also makes me think of love, she thought. Wait- what?! Why did I say that?
They glanced at each other at exactly the same time but turned away, dwelling in their own thoughts about each other and smells now. Ino was thinking about Shikamaru and his personality and how his unique scent related to his personality.
"I bet you smell like grass because you're always laying down," Ino said after a long time. "And I smell sweet because I work with flowers."
"..." Shikamaru had fallen asleep.
"Shika..." Ino poked him. "Shika."
How do you just fall asleep like that?! she glared at the sleeping boy. He breathed in softly and turned to the side. Her gaze softened. But he's cute when he sleeps. Actually, he's cute all the time...and nice and sweet and he's a really good, understanding friend. And now I'm rambling on about Shika...Do I like him? If someone had even suggested that, I would've probably knocked them out. But now... now it doesn't seem like such a crazy idea.
Her eyes studied his sleeping face and then fell on his lips. She licked hers involuntarily.
"I wonder what would happen if I gave him a kiss," she wondered aloud. She moved so she was over him.
"One little kiss couldn't hurt," she leaned forward until her face hovered over his. She took one last breath and let it out. His eyes opened. Hers eyes widened in surprise. Then she closed them and kissed him anyway. He kissed her back and pulled her towards him. She landed on him and wrapped her arms around his neck. They broke apart.
"What'd you do that for?" Shikamaru breathed out.
"You know you liked it," she teased, also breathless. "I guess I did it because you were so...intoxicating."
"Hey...that's my line," he said.
"What?" she asked confusedly."
"Nevermind."
You're intoxicating, they thought as they kissed again.
The End
Nothing to say, really. Leave reviews.
