Oh man! I'm so sorry everyone! I'm in the middle of Exams and I've totally neglected my fics. I hope you can all forgive me :dodges flying tomatoes:
It has made me happy, however, when a bunch of my reviewers tell me that I've gotten them into ShikaNaru. Great! Now everyone must go write/draw ShikaNaru!

ShikaNaru Drabble #16
Love Letter
If there was one thing Shikamaru couldn't stand--
"Dammit! Not another one. . . ."
it was papercuts. They were small and annoying and barely visible to the eye yet they ached and throbbed and practically screamed 'Look! Down here! I may be small but man I sure can piss you off!'.
Shikamaru popped his thumb into his mouth and sucked on it slowly. He went back to writing.
And it's not like they could even be classified as a cut! Massive amounts of blood weren't lost, no permenant marks or scars or puckered tissue to worry about! Just a small, tiny cut through a few layers of skin that itched and burned all at once.
"Shit!"
And the only thing Shikamaru hated more than a papercut was a handful of papercuts, all small and seemingly harmless, taunting him to continue, the edge of the paper begging for the calloused skin of his battle-scarred hands. And, stupidly, Shikamaru kept going back, continued with the stroke of pen over paper, the transfer of words from inside his head to the sheet in front of him.
Shikamaru switched fingers, exchanging his thumb for his pinky. He sucked on it gingerly and finished writing.
'. . . .so even though it's bothersome, I guess I just wanted to say that I love you, Nar-'
"Fuck!"
Shikamaru really hated papercuts. It was so hard giving someone a love letter with tiny blood stains.
