The clouds
"What's so interesting about the clouds anyway?"
"Shh… you have to listen to them…"
Ino stopped and tried to listen. She heard nothing.
"But I can't hear anything Shikamaru!"
"Listen closely… and watch them as they dance with the wind…"
Ino tried to listen one more time but she couldn't! She looked up at the sky and the clouds were almost still, how was she supposed to 'watch them dance'?
"Shikamaru…"
She stopped. He looked different. His eyes were closed but he had a genuine smile on his lips. A smile of contentment. It was almost heavenly.
She smiled sweetly and laid her head in his chest, hugging him a bit.
"I think I understand now, Shikamaru…"
He hugged her back and kissed her forehead.
"That's my girl."
