ShikaNaru Drabble #24

Sorry

Naruto sat up with a start, breath shaky, large eyes wide with fright as warm tears clung desperately to thick eyelashes. He placed a shaky hand over his heart, trying to calm it, desperately wishing for the nausiatingly familiar wave of fear crashing over him to subside.

The gentle breathing of the person slumbering peacefully next to him made Naruto sigh quietly.

That's right.

"Shikamaru." He whispered.

Naruto turned over on his side, staring at the sleeping profile of his once friend, now lover. It was over. And it had been close to a month and a half since that incident.

So why did it still bother him?

"I thought you died." The blond said, answering his own thoughts aloud.

But he hadn't. Shikamaru had pulled through, much to everyone's surprise. It had only taken him a week of lying in the hospital, medication being pumped through his veins continually, before he'd gotten grouchy and began harassing the nurses. Then it had been another two before the hospital had let him come home, though Naruto suspected it had something to do with him pestering a certain pigtailed Hokage.

Naruto snuggled close, ignoring the hot tears that spilled down his cheeks, both from pain and happiness. He never wanted to go through something like that again. Reaching out, he wrapped an arm over Shikamaru's waist, holding the raven-haired shinobi tightly ashe rested his head on the other's chest.

"Don't ever do that to me again." He said to the slumbering body beneath him, drifting back into the Sandman's clutches.

Moments later, a pale hand ran softly through golden locks, dark eyes burning softly in the dark room.

"I'm sorry."

Kativa-Chan- Thanks so much! Your review really made my day. I think SasuNaru is so cool, too! Actually, I need to update 'S.C'...hee hee. Yes! You yell 'Wah!' too!

Guren- You must! I really love your 'Third Wheel'. I think you did a great job on it and you should write more. Oh no! I made you cry and run off! Noooo! Come back, Guren! ShikaNaru lives forever! I swear!

amekan- You know, you're right! I didn't even think about that. Hm. Well, maybe they assumed Sasuke wouldn't make the first move so they thought they could commission Naruto to. It's not true, but it sounds good to me!

Rujutoshi- Doesn't it? Say it three times fast! I'll give youa chocolate bar for liking Naruto's comments. You. . . .you wanna use an idea of mine? WAH! Go right ahead! I'm so flattered! And send me the link when you finish writing it!

gothangel123- Aw, that's okay! I hope everythings going well now and that you're feeling better!

deathrosekitty- Yes, looks like I'll have to make another one of these. It's always hard for me with SasuNaru and ShikaNaru cause I love them both so much! Ah, don't worry. If Shika goes, Naru goes! And yes, I had a wonderful time! Thanks!

KKSlover4ever- ShikaNARU. . . .ShikaMARU. . . .lol it is cute! No one's ever told you that? Your reviews rule :D LOL! You reaction equals priceless!

Rosemarykiss- You took the words right out of my mouth/keyboard!

Nico-chan- Of course Shikamaru is teh smexyness! Just like his sexy papa :begins drooling:

Van Kin 'n' Su- Me loves the SasuNaru! But ShikaNaru has a special, warm place in my heart :)

Caciquegoddess- The only time I can actually enjoy those two is when they're supportive of the yaoi-ness. I mean, there's only so many times I can read a story about Sakura hating Naruto because of Sasuke complications. C'mon people. . . .but don't worry! I'd never actually kill off Shikamaru. :)

:) - Love your name. ;) Ah, road trips rule. Only Carrie's car is TINY and it was squished, but fun! Finals.Suck.Ass.

People who I owe things to that will (should) be in the next drabble:sweatdrop:

Akiakze (Smut-lover)
Tenshi-Tara (Petname-giver and arguer with Naruto)
Kativa-Chan (Sex-scene wanter)
tir-synni (Shikamaru's P.O.V. see-er)

Special thanks to Princess Kitana, whose review made me literally fall out of my chair.

He may be lazy but he's most likely not lazy when it counts XD
