Acquiesce
Shikamaru says that loving people is troublesome, and Chouji doesn't disagree.
Chouji rolled over and kissed Shikamaru, completely out of the blue. Shikamaru didn't move, didn't even kiss back, just lay there looking up at the clouds like the world's inverted white shadows. Then it was over.
"We've talked about this," Shikamaru sighed when Chouji pulled away. "Loving people is troublesome."
"Yes," Chouji agreed, shifting to lay on his back again, "but that's what makes it all worthwhile." He handed Shikamaru the last potato chip with a smile.
Shikamaru took the chip and stared at it before eating it slowly, savoring the final piece just as Chouji had taught him.
A while after that, as if every movement pained him, Shikamaru rolled over and kissed Chouji back.
