Works Over
It didn't take long for Shikamaru to return to Konoha, check in with Tsunade-hime and return to his home. This particular mission was all too troublesome for him, mostly since he had done it solo, meaning more work for him.
All that waited for him at home was an empty house with a made bed, which was all he needed. Food and a hot shower didn't concern him at the moment, and soon he was lying under the covers, eyes staring at the ceiling, wide awake. There was no point in trying to toss and turn; he knew exactly what was missing. So he waited, slightly cursing women.
And then she came in, equally tired, shoes thrown carelessly at the doorsteps, blond hair untied and flowing freely behind her back as she shuffled towards the bedroom door, her blue eyes catching his as she appeared through the door. Wordlessly, she climbs into bed beside him, and faces him. He still stares at the ceiling.
"You smell horrible." Her nose wrinkles and her eyebrows furrow in disgust. He just smirks.
"You do too, you know." She gives him a look of annoyance, replaced by the tired face of a Kunoichi, and she snuggles up into his side of the bed but he doesn't care and wraps his arms around her, knowing it'll be easier to roll her back when she sleeps. And finally, Shikamaru can close his eyes and release the stress of the day with his wife by his side.
