One lay on the ground,right arm being used as a support for the head.
While the other could be seen running pale fingers through long blonde hair.
Shikamaru and Ino could often be seen like this.
He would stretch out,and move as little as possible.
Prefering to watch the world around him rather than take part in it.
Every now and then a yawn could be heard comming from him.
But,of course,he didn't bother to cover his mouth as it escaped.
She,on the other hand,would groom her beloved locks.
Quickly,she'd untie the bit of material that held back the long strands of yellow and began to comb it.
Her lips weren't bent upward in a smile,but more of a content posture as she gently stroked the silky hair the wind tried to tangle.
He,all the while,would stare at her.
Wondering for a moment what her hair would feel like between his fingers.
And then slowly discard the thought as he declared it to be to troublesome to think about.
He watched the girl nibble on her fingernail before moving her hand down to the ground.
There,it tip-toed up to a bright yellow flower,whose vibrant color could be matched only to Ino's hair.
The fingers timidly clutched at the flower's stem,just bellow the petals,before she looked over at him.
Her misty purple orbs questining.
He sighed before slowly shaking his head,left to right.
As he watched through dully painted eyes,he saw her's become even more cloudy than normal.
Without a word,he reached over to a wildflower of a lilac shade.
He looked up at her as a smile told him 'yes'
Pulling at the flower,it came from the ground with a slight 'pop' sound.
Ino bent over and did the same to another flower,identical to the first.
Then she picked another,and another,until her hands were full with about twenty.
Bringing them to her nose,she slowly breathed in their sweet aroma before handing them to Shikamaru.
He sighed as he sat up,and took the small boque from her.
Holding two of the flowers in his right hand,he put the rest in his lap and went to work.
Looping the stems of the two flowers,he knotted them together.
His hands,soft from his lazy lifestyle,slowly tied one flower after another in a circular pattern.
He muttered somthing that sounded like 'stupid and 'crown' under his breath.
Ino hid a smile beneath one hand,as she continued to watch him,her eyes never leaving Shikamaru until he completed his craft.
Lazily,he held the now complete flower crown in front of her.
He waited until she bowed her head,to set the crown amongst her yellow locks.
Then slowly pulled his hands back,staring in awe at her.
The sunny yellow hair,flowed down her body.
Tightly clinging to her,while showing of her suttle curves at the same time.
Her thin lips sat in a smile,and the misty orbs in her eyes drew him in.
He leaned closer and closer,her eyes still reeling him in.
Then he stopped,their breath entangling with one anothers.
His face hovered in front of hers for a moment,before tickling her cheek with a kiss.
He then laid back down,head resting in her lap.
She couldn't move for a moment,her mind to busy replaying the sweet scene again and again.
After a minute her face turned slightly pink,and her fingers began to play with his stringy brown hair.
Neither talked as they sat in,what seemed to be,endless contentment.
