A/U: hmm, here's a fic with an unidentified pairing. so, choose who you want. it started out as an ending for a kibaxhina fic, but then i started imagining the characters as ino and shikamaru, so i ended up just making the pairing be whoever you want. btw, i have no clue why i gave it this name. does it even make sense?
disclaimer: sorry, but no matter how many times i ask him, kishimoto won't sell me naruto...
Here With You
"So, they finally got together, eh?"
"Yes. I'm sure he is very happy with her."
"And what about you?"
"What about me?"
"How are you?"
"Oh, I'm okay… I'm getting over him…"
"That's good."
"What about you and that girl?"
"Oh, we never got together."
"She found another man?"
"No…"
"Did you give up on her?"
"Not really."
"'Not really'?"
"I love her, but I don't think she loves me back."
"That's too bad…"
"Yeah…"
"You ever gonna tell me who she is?"
"Maybe."
"You might still have a chance if she's still single."
"Nah, she just got her heart broken."
"Broke up with her boyfriend?"
"Something like that."
"Maybe you could mend her broken heart?"
"You giving me love advice now?"
"Maybe."
"I don't think she wants it to be mended by me."
"Why not?"
"I'm just a friend to her."
"Friendship can evolve into something more."
"You think so?"
"Yeah."
"I don't know…"
"It's worth a shot."
"Maybe."
"I'll help you if you want."
Laughs
"What's so funny?"
"You can't help me."
"Why not?"
"Because that girl is you."
"…"
"What?"
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"Well, you're different from the other girls."
"Different?"
"Yeah."
"How?"
"Well, you may not seem like much to other people, but in my eyes you're perfect."
"I'm not perfect…"
"Says you."
"How am I perfect?"
"You mean besides the fact that I believe you have the beauty of a goddess?"
Blushes "I-I guess…"
"Well, it's hard to say… you have so many wonderful qualities, it'd take all day to name them."
"I have all day."
"Oh, do you?"
"Well, most of it."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Actually, that's a lot of stuff to name, so can I do it some other time?"
"…"
"Well?"
"Fine…"
"…"
"I still don't understand why you love me."
"Look at it this way. What did you want that other guy to love you for?"
"Well… I just wanted him to love me for being me I guess."
"And that's exactly why I love you. For being you."
"Oh."
"…"
"…"
"Maybe I shouldn't have told you all this…"
"Why?"
"Because you don't like me."
"What makes you say that?"
"Because you love that other guy."
"Oh, right."
"You forgot?"
"Of course not."
"Right."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"So, I guess I'll be going…"
"Wait."
"Yeah?"
"Do you… do you wanna hang out?"
"Sure. I'd like that."
