A Simple Look – Nara Shikamaru
I glared at Naruto's team and Hinata's team. I didn't want to mess with them anymore. I turned around and saw Shikamaru.
"Nazumi!" i heard Naruto yell. I rolled my eyes and Shikmaru sighed.
"You'll have to forgive him one day. I know how you feel." he stated lazily as i quickly walked away from Naruto.
"Please wait!" he yelled. I turned around and shouted a 'no'. i walked with Shikamaru.
"What a drag!" he started. "I know he didn't mean it, but you kind of told him too." he explained. I sighed and faced him quickly.
"Well it seemed like he enjoyed it." i said boredly. Shikamaru sighed and we sat at a meadow.
"I know you like him still." he suddenly said. I grew a vein and punched him in the face, but lightly. Shikamaru looked up at me giving me 'what was that for' look.
"I don't, not with him anymore. I hate him." i vented.
"Just from a simple kiss?" he asked as he rubbed his cheek. I laid down and he followed afterwards.
"Like i said, he seemed like he enjoyed it. He was smiling, blushing, and they didn't stop for like ever!" yelled. Shikamaru faced me.
"Its what you get for telling him to do it." he said but it felt like he hesitated. I looked back at the sky as my eyes narrowed.
"Whatever, its over with him." i said. Shikamaru sighed and we continued to talk.
...
I heard a knock at my door so i opened it and saw Naruto. I was about to slam the door but he stopped me so i turned around and headed to my room.
"Nazumi, please let me explain." he started.
"No." i bluntly said as i shut the door. I laid on my bed and stared at the door.
"Its been a month since that time, get over it, please?" he asked. I sighed.
"Well- NO!" i shouted. I heard him pout. "You'll just have to get over the fact that i don't love you anymore!"
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" i heard someone say.
"Hey Shikamaru. I was just trying to talk to Nazumi." he explained. I heard him sigh. I then heard footsteps walk away so i walked up to the door.
"Nazumi, you can open it now." I heard Shikamaru's voice. I sighed and opened it. He entered my room boredly and laid on my bed.
"So youre really over him?" he asked. I nodded my head as i gave him a 'no duh' look. Shikamaru then stood up and placed an arm around my shoulder and smiled.
"Lets try to get over it, shall we?" he asked. I almost blushed but i hid it well and we began to chat and laugh. Afterwards, Shikamaru fell asleep on my bed, so i slightly smiled at him.
The truth is, i love Shikamaru, but I never meet him before, and thus i liked Naruto. We went out for almost a year, but then Hinata began to get sad and all that stuff. So to get over it, i told Naruto to at least kiss her for a minute. He agreed, but when he did, he didn't end it for at least more than 5 minutes. Naruto was smiling and blushing. He enjoyed it! He finally noticed i was still there and he let go quickly. After that, it was the end of us.
Shikamaru, saw everything too, and he was my best friend. Sure i loved Naruto, but after that day, Shikamaru began to hang out with me more and more. I began to like Shikamaru but i didn't want anything to happen between us, knowing that Temari likes him.
...
"N-Nazumi." i heard a soft voice. I turned around and saw Hinata. I frowned a little and she noticed so she looked at me sadly.
"Im so-"
"Save it. Its been a month, theres no point in apologizing anymore." i said calmly. I walked away and i saw Shikamaru down the street. I walked right past him and then i was suddenly stopped. I was turned around and saw Shikamaru using his jutsu.
"Jezz, why not just stop and say hi to me, will you?" he asked lazily. I smiled a little and we began walking. I noticed Shikamaru looked at me and i laughed.
"Whats so funny?" he asked. My laughter died down and i tip-toed. I then moved a piece of hair that was sticking up. I then saw Shikamaru blush and sweat drop.
"Thanks." he sort of laughed. I smiled warmly and we walked into a meadow.
"How long do you think it will be till you date again?" he asked randomly. I was a little shocked but then again i wasn't.
"I don't know. I don't want to get hurt like that anymore. Maybe if i just find the right guy." i explained. Shikamaru sighed and i looked at him.
"Well thanks a lot. That makes it a lot easier." he said sarcastically.
"What do you mean?" i asked. Shikamaru looked at me with one eye open and he leaned over to me. He then kissed my cheek.
"Now do you know?" he asked almost annoyed. I sighed and looked around. I then just stood up and was about to walk away until i was stopped by a hand on my wrist. I turned around and saw Shikamaru looking up at me.
"Why is it that every time I look at you, my heart is skips a beat?" he asked. "Why is it that every time i talk to you about Naruto, i feel guilty?"
"Be-because yo-"
"because I love you." he finished my sentence. I looked away blushing.
"I-i don't know.." i stated. I love Shikamaru, i really do, but i don't want to get hurt again, from my mistakes.
"Its been awhile since i liked you, and i've been trying to find the right moment, to say it." he explained. "Nazumi, i love you, i love you so much it hurts."
"Love starts with a smile, and ends with a teardrop, do you understand?" i asked as i looked at him clearly.
"Then, i won't make you cry. I won't do things that will hurt you." he informed. I wanted to cry, but i didn't. "It actually hurts me from just looking at you."
"Why?" i asked.
"Because, i know that you got hurt from Naruto." he explained.
"From my mistakes, what if it happens again, with Temari?" i asked almost shouting.
"I won't do it. I won't kiss another girl just to make everything better. Naruto was the one that made the mistake. He should have never kissed her in the first place." he explained.
"But then Hinata, would be-"
"It doesn't matter. He should have just talked to her, not kiss her." he stated. I sighed and looked away again. "The first time i took a simple look at you, i knew i wanted to be with you and only you. Sadly you were with Naruto, but now youre not."
"Nazumi!" i heard Naruto shout. I looked at him with wet eyes. He noticed but he grabbed my hand.
"Look, i really didn't enjoy it. Im sorry. Please." he begged. A tear slid down my eyes, and i looked back at Shikamaru who was looking at me sadly. I faced Naruto again, and closed my eyes.
"Im sorry, Naruto, but you were the one that made the wrong choice." i stated as i snatched my hand away from him, and hugged Shikamaru. Naruto pouted and walked away. I stopped hugging him but he was still holding onto me. I looked away from him. I heard him sigh, and then he grabbed my chin, and made me look at him.
"There it goes again. My heart is beating quickly again, just from a look." he stated lazily. I smiled slowly and he brought my lips to his. His soft lips made me melt, and i brought my arm around his neck to deepen the kiss. We broke apart, and he smiled at me.
"I promise, i won't make the same mistake that Naruto did, because just looking at you, makes me feel like i made the right choice."
...
Thats it. I hope its good. Im sorry if it was sucky and short. Please review. XD Byes! :]
