Wah. . . .
I just had the wonderful mental image of Vash and Wolfwood making out on a nice, sandy beach. . . .
Mmmmm.

ShikaNaru Drabble #17
Zoo
"Wow! Look at that!" Naruto pulled Shikamaru along behind him as he pointed at another animal. The pony-tailed jounin huffed in annoyance but allowed it, sparing a bored glance at the bright green flamingo that was close to five feet tall.
"Amazing!" Naruto shouted.
Shikamaru had come back from a rather tedious mission with the secret hope of seeing his over-worked, adorable boyfriend sprawled out on the bed.
Naked.
However, that wasn't the case. What he had found when he'd walked through the door with a 'I'm home!'was a sulking boyfriend furiously going over jutsus and cursing the Hokage.
Apparently Tsunade had forced vacation time on the blond boy and, kicking and screaming, Naruto had finally excepted it, but only under the circumstances that Shikamaru, who had recently began picking up Kakashi-sensei's time sense, came with him.
She'd agreed, if only to get him quiet and out of her office.
Picking out a vacation spot wasn't as hard as Shikamaru thought it would be--Naruto had found a poster for a new zoo opening in the Rock Country and had insisted they go, stating it was their job as shinobis to know about potentially dangerous creatures.
Shikamaru didn't have the heart to tell the small blond that most zoos had the creatures caged and controlled, so he'd just nodded and said 'You're bothersome'. Naruto had agreed with him wholeheartedly, then dragged him home to pack for the week-long break.
"Oh! Amazing! Did you see what it did, Shikamaru?" Naruto asked loudly, blue eyes brimming with awe as it watched the small, raccoon-looking creature jump to another branch that was close to thirty feet away.
Shikamaru just nodded his head as he mentally ticked off the minutes.
Twelve cages later found them in front of a three-foot monkey, Naruto down on his knees pointing and laughing at it.
"It's got a-ha ha. . . .it's butt is...hee hee hee...it's ass is blue!" Naruto choked out, holding his stomache as he laughed loudly, attracting odd glances. Naruto didn't even notice.
Apparently the monkey did.
"Ow!" The blond shouted, rubbing at his head and shooting a glare at the monkey. "You stupid thing! How dare you throw that at me!"
The monkey threw another rock.
"God dam--Ouch!"
And another.
"Shit! That's it you little flea-bag!" Naruto growled out, and began climbing the cage.
Two hours, seven rocks, and sixteen zoo security men later found Shikamaru and Naruto back where they started--at the front gates.
"Way to go, idiot. I can't believe you got us thrown out. You really are stupid." Shikamaru grumbled, crossing his arms and scoffing at the notion that he'd just been kicked out of a zoo. Next to him, Naruto was silent.
"Honestly, do you not use your head, Naruto? Trying to attack a caged animal, then throwing a tantrum like a three year old in front of everyone. This was such a waste." Shikamaru glanced at Naruto out of the corner of his eye when he was greeted with silence.
". . . .Sorry, Shikamaru. . . ." Naruto mumbled, obviously upset at the thought of ruining their vacation time. The dark-haired ninja sighed heavily, anger leaving in the wake of Naruto's mood. He placed a hand on the blond's shoulder.
"It was boring anyways. Let's get something to eat." When Naruto turned thankful blue eyes and a mega-watt smile at him,Shikamaru figured getting thrown out of the zoo was worth it.
"Really? Really? I want ramen, Shikamaru! Will you please buy it for me?" The shorter shinobi laughingly began pulling Shikamaru behind him.
"Honestly, you're so troublesome sometimes." Shikamaru smiled, already counting out the money a few bowls of ramen would cost.
