They all finished eating and Seria was really tired. She was resting her head on the window but then Shikamaru wrapped his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"You didn't look comfortable," he said and she smiled.
"Thanks Shika," she said and tried not to look at Ino because she knew that Ino would just make her blush.
"Hey, Shika, she looks a bit tired, how about you walk her home," Choji said.
"That sounds like a good idea, Shikamaru, go ahead, we'll cover you two," Asuma said as he got out to let Shikamaru and Seria out. Seria sat back up then Shikamaru grabbed her hand then helped her up. Neither of them let go of the other's hand and walked out of the restaurant into the light lit streets. Seria still felt tired then Shikamaru wrapped his arm around her and she rested her head back on his shoulder.
"You know, you don't have to do this," Seria said as they both slowed to a slow walk.
"I know but I want to," he said and she smiled.
She felt a rain drop on her cheek which was followed by many.
"Race you to the house," he said and started to run to the house.
She grabbed his hand and they started to run with each other through the rain.
"Wait, I know a shortcut," she said as she stopped and led him down an alley.
They kept running but then it came to an end.
"I thought you said this was a shortcut," he said.
"Yeah, to get you even more wet," Seria said as she hit a bucket that was on a post on top of him drenching him in water.
"You are-," he started to say and then he grabbed her around her waist while they started laughing.
"Alright, let's go take my shortcut," he said as he led her out of the alley and back towards her house. They arrived at her house and both got under the small dry space before the door.
"That was fun," she said as he took his top shirt off and wrapped it around her.
"Yeah, it was," he said.
"Thanks and what is your shortcut to," Seria asked.
"This," he said and leaned down then kissed her on the lips.
She smiled as he kissed her then kissed back. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his around her waist. They kissed until they realized air was important.
"This really was an amazing night," she said as she rested her forehead against his.
"Yeah, this was not a drag at all," he said and she smiled even more.
"Same here," Seria said and kissed Shikamaru again.
"SHIKAMARU, GET IN HERE BEFORE YOU GET SICK OR GET SERIA SICK," Seria heard his mother yell over the rain.
"Better go," he said and she nodded.
"See you in the morning," she said and he nodded.
"Promise to be up by six thirty," he said.
"Seven," you said.
"Alright, seven it is," he said and pecked her on the lips then walked back over to his house where his mother was impatiently waiting for him. She opened her door and walked inside to get out of the rain while Shikamaru's shirt was still on her. She held it tighter against her skin and breathed in the scent. She ran up the steps, got a shower and change into a pair of dry clothes. She set his shirt on the end table under her father's headband.
"Night Shikamaru," Seria said and fell asleep.
Shikamaru's POV
Shikamaru got out of the shower and changed into dry clothes for the night. He walked over to his room and laid down on the bed. He looked out his window to see his shirt was on her end table underneath her father's headband.
"Night Seria," he said and fell asleep dreaming about his future he has always wanted with Seria in it. A future of being a Jonin, with Seria as his wife and two beautiful children.
She would be waiting for her to come home and the kids would greet him and knew he was there father and Seria loved him more than anything else in the world.
