"What are the backpacks for?" Shikamaru asked, opening one eye to glance at Naruto
"You promised me we would go on a vacation when you got back from your next mission. That's why I asked Tsunade for our time off months ago." The blonde replied to his lover who was laying quite obtrusively on the middle of the bed while he was trying to pack their things for their vacation.
"But I just got back and I'm tired." Shika replied with a groan, closing his eye and rolling on to his side with his back to Naruto. "Can't you just come to bed with me and hold me and let me rest awhile?" He asked, as close to pleading as he ever got. Naruto sighed glancing at the brunette. He moved one of the bags off the bed and crawled over the bed till he was lying next to Shika.
"I would love to," Naruto began while wrapping an arm around his lover and placing a light kiss on his neck. "I would love to make love to you slowly and kiss all your aches better and hold you while you slept bathed in moonlight, but I really want to see the parade in Suna, and if we don't leave tonight we'll miss it and the festival afterwards and we'll be late for the Chuunin exams the next day which I had to pull strings to get us seats worth a damn." While he spoke he turned Shika onto his back so he could look into his eyes to make sure the shadow-nin was listening to him. Shikamaru wanted to roll his eyes so badly but didn't because knew how important this was to the blonde to visit Suna and some of his old friends as well as to watch his best friend's students in the exam, so instead he let out a tired sigh.
"Can I at least sleep while you pack?" He asked lazily, hoping he could rest for just a little while.
"Sure you can, love." Naruto replied with a large smile, happy that Shika always understood him when he really wanted him to. He leaned down to kiss his lover and was surprised when he found himself pinned to the bed, Shikamaru devouring his mouth. Moaning, Naruto responded enthusiastically pulling the shadow-nin closer with his arms and legs. The blonde groaned disappointedly when Shika pulled away to roll over and close his eyes preparing for sleep. Naruto rolled his eyes, smiled at him, and gave him peck on the cheek.
"Love you," He whispered before rolling off the bed to finish packing their clothing.
"Love you too," Naruto barely heard as he began digging in his underwear drawer for that orange thong he had somewhere. 'And don't worry,' Naruto thought, grinning to himself, 'I'll definitely make it worth it for you, Shika darling.'
