'Incredible how fast you solved all of these…' Asuma rubbed his neck. 'I wasn't prepared for that, but I'll surly find something for you to work on.'
'No problem. I will be grateful.'
'You girlfriend don't mind you spending that much time on equations?' He offered him a cigarette and not knowing why Shikamaru pulled one out of the package.
'I don't have a girlfriend.' He lit it and looked into the sky.
'Fine, Gaara's sister. She's not jealous?'
'She has nothing to do with this.'
'Geez…whatever. ' He smiled and looked at him. 'What are you staring at?'
'The clouds. They are really relaxing.'
'Clouds…' He looked up too.
'What are you two looking at? Did you see a UFO?' A unknown woman's voice spoke amused.
'Coulds woman…' He sighed. 'Enjoying some nature, you should try it too sometimes.'
Shikamaru looked at the black haired woman who's eyes had a strange color he couldn't define. Although she must be around Asuma's age she was very nice to look at and something about her smile reminded him of Her again. He frowned and looked away, which his teacher noticed.
'Where are my manners, Kurenai Yuhi, this is my pet pupil Shikamaru Nara.'
'Pet pupil?' He murmured and leered at his teacher. 'A pleasure to meet you misses.'
'Very nice to meet you too Shikamaru. Asuma doesn't have to many pet pupils…' She smiled at him gently. 'He's rather a hard difficult case.' She laughed covering her lips.' But he does talk a lot about you…'
'He does?' Shikamaru looked amused at his teacher who seemed very embarrassed about this fact.
'Kurenai…Stop humiliating me in front of this lazy ass.'
'Fine, fine…' She turned around and raised her hand. 'Enjoy watching the clouds. I have to run. See you late!'
'Geez she's really giving me cancer…'
'A close friend?' Shikamaru dared to ask.
'Way too close to be a friend.' He glared at Shikamaru. 'You don't know nothing. Otherwise the principal will give us hell.'
'Never been part of this conversation.' He smiled and finished the cigarette.
'Very good. 'He smiled. 'You see, that's why I like you Nara.'
'No problem.' He smiled back.
'She turned you down?' Gaara whispered to Shikamaru on a Friday lesson.
'What?' He looked surprised, being brought back to earth from his world of fantasy.
'My sister, did she down or what's the reason for you to stop visiting us?'
'She didn't turn me down. My week as a slave ended, so I stopped showing at your apartment. You didn't want me there anyway, did you?' He placed his head on his palm and looked uninterested at the whiteboard.
'It's not like that.' Gaara's voice softened. 'I was just worried…worried you would stop showing, because she would ruin it…'
'I'm your friend, ain't I?' He leered at the shy red haired who now again reminded more of the boy he met the first day.
'I don't know…'
'Well I think I am. At least if you want me to.' Shikamaru slowly turned his head towards him. 'Whatever will happen between me and your sister it'll never affect our friendship. I can promise you this one.'
'Quiet there!' The teacher scolded the two in the first row.
'What WILL happen?' Gaara whispered surprised.
'I won't lie. I will be trying to get your sisters affection.' He blushed while speaking but felt like being honest with his younger friend.
'So…'Gaara blushed too, not knowing why.
'I'm really into her Gaara. I've never been into anyone like this, so I really can't let it be…I hope you'll understand.'
'Are you for real?' That cold voice was there again.
'Yes. I am. Absolutely. '
'So, you're serious about her?'
'Serious?' He looked back at the teacher and he thought about it intensely. Was he serious about that girl? 'I've never been that serious about nay girl…'
'If you'll ever hurt her..'
'I'll try my best…I think you know me.' He looked straight into his eyes. 'I don't hurt people I care about. At least that really isn't my intention.'
'Fine.' Gaara escaped his look.
'What do you mean by that?'
'I approve your relationship.'
'Thanks?'
'I've never approved any of Temari's boyfriends. They were a bunch of idiots. You're smart, what makes you a lot more dangerous than that guys…but in the end, Temari's smart too. It'll take a guy like you to fool her into something like love. She deserves love, you know.'
'I know Gaara.'
'Good. Come over to us this afternoon.'
'What for?'
'I'll show you my new ideas. You can chat with her too. I'm sure she'll be pleased to see you.'
'I wouldn't be that sure. But fine, I'll come over.'
'Shikamaru's here, you know Temari?' Gaara spoke quietly while being in the kitchen. The young Nara froze wishing to see her more than ever.
'Cool. Have fun.' She spoke untouched.
'Don't you want to say hello to him?'
'No need. We're fine.' Shikamaru heard the fridge close and the doors of her(?) room close.
Gaara came back and shrug his shoulders.
'I tried…'
'Relax bro. I'll handle that.' He smiled. But to be honest he didn't know how to handle that. It's been a week since they talked and he still hasn't come up with an idea how to get closer to her. He was starting to get pretty desperate. Desperate at least to see her.
'After some time when both of the boys placed themselves on the couch in the living room they turned the TV on, but soon none of them was interested in what was going on in the screen. Gaara grabbed the remote control and slightly turned down the sound making both of them listen even more concentrated bur not to the quiz show they were watching. A strange but familiar sound wad coming out of one of the rooms. Shikamaru took the control and muted the TV.
'ah..ah..ah..aaa...yes...' A passionate woman voice moaned rhythmic. They exchanged looks and Shikamaru saw Gaara blushing but putting on a look an angry child makes.
Shikamaru wanted to turn the sound on and ignore what was going on if Gaara wouldn't continue staring at Temari's room
'Kiba's here?' He murmured trying to avoid his eyes who wouldn't turn towards him anyway.
'I don't know... '
Shikamaru listened more carefully and closed his eyes. Could that be her?
'oh..ah..oh..yes...yes...' The voice was getting higher and more intense.
Gaara stood up and walked towards the rooms.
'What are you doing? ' He whispered kind of afraid to find out it actually might be Kiba's work.
'Check who I'm going to kill later on for bringing me into this embarrassing situation.. '
Shikamaru walked towards Temari's room and the closer he Was the lauder the sounds seem to get.
'Nara' Gaara whispered seeing him get tense.
'ah aha aha...K...k..' The girl moaned, close to climax.
'Fuck...' he was standing right at her door. Nearly leaned his forehead at it and closed his eyes. 'that must be her...that's her voice...' he thought thinking about how cruel this situation was. His one and only crush getting laid by his good friend while he's listening. He imagined her blonde hair throwing around the messed sheets while she wriggled out of pleasure. The pace was getting faster and faster. Her turquoise eyes opened widely as the last little queen came out. He body, wet, hot, pulsating...he couldn't hold it any longer and pushed the door open to Gaara shock.
'Stop it!' He Shouted with closed eyes terrified to see the truth.
All sounds stopped for a moment that seemed endless for Shikamaru and her voice spoke up.
'What the fuck Nara?'
He opened his eyes and saw her reading a book with her headphones on. A big sight of reliever left his chest and he leaned at the door frame.
' I thought that…'
'What did you think idiot?' She hissed and stood up.
' Kiba's here...' He mumbled under his breath feeling very stupid.
'You thought it was me getting laid so you thought you would just interrupt my greatest moment of pleasure with your ugly pathetic face?!'
'I'm sorry...'
'Calm down Temari..' Gaara sighed and they heard the doors to Kankuro room unlock and a girl with waist long brown hair, dressed in one of his hoodies came out, and faced everyone shocked and embarrassed.
