ShikaIno: Heaven

-

-

Shikamaru remembers a time when all he did was lie back on a soft patch of grass, lose himself in the fluffy blue and white heavens and try not to be found by anyone, especially not her. Yes, those were good days.

As he wonders whether he where those days are and whether they're having a good time without him, he ducks so the pillow flies over his head and dives so the said cushion doesn't land on the ground. She'd kill him if he came back with one of her precious pillows stained brown and for the fifth time that day, he thanks god for handy ninja skills. Saved his life in more than one way.

Taking her non-too-subtle hint, he wanders barefooted in the street with only a pillow as his companion and ignores the strange looks. So he's lost himself in a different heaven now, he accepts that. One where the blue is like sapphire and the weather is so unpredictable he can't forecast one minute to the next.

What he doesn't get, he grumbles as Chouji wordlessly lets him in, is why he has to sleep somewhere else when its his apartment.
