I'm not like you at all, Shikamaru. I can't overanalyze my every option and make the best choice every time.I can't sit and watch clouds all day and drift away with them.

I am also fully aware that you do much more than that for Konoha, but if you are given a true choice in the matter, you would be on that perfect hill as I'm writing this to you.

But I guess I like that about you. For as unpredictable as you can be in a battle, you follow that same routine outside of one.

I'm not like you, but honestly, I don't care. There's some part of me that finds it intriguing and very much appealing. There has to be a reason why you cloud my thoughts and why I spend most of the time wondering when I will see you again. As silly as it sounds, sometimes I write letters you'll never see to relieve these overwhelming feelings. I can't always stay in control. I'm not like you.
