A/N Sorry people, I haven't updated T.T I've been busy, and went through my emo stage, and yeah, but I'm back, and in a fan fiction writing mood! Read my others, and any requests are loved! OK maybe I need to stress that , any requests are LOVED! Hehe now to the story! Shikamaru's dad!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neji would have laughed at the looks people cast their way, as they hobbled down the street, him clinging to Shikamaru, he hadn't quite grasped the knowledge that they were now, boyfriends! He couldn't quite understand why Shikamaru would have taken an interest in him in the first place, he was an ass, and full of himself. When Shikamaru got the room, Neji headed straight for the shower, ignoring Shikamaru's offers for help, "I'm fine! I need to fix my hair!" Shikamaru laughed hard at that, "Are you sure your not a girl." Neji humphed, and rushed into the shower. He wasn't at all girl like was he? He thought on that one, maybe slightly he did have girly hair, and he wore a kimono, but he was still masculine right? I mean maybe slightly feminine… he thought to himself, starting to worry. He showered, and spent an hour fixing his hair, and nervous, wondering how to act with Shikamaru now.
They sat on the bed, Neji fiddling with his hair, Shikamaru knew that was a sign of nerves from his observations, "Troublesome." Was all he said, pulling Neji into his lap, and placing Neji's head on his shoulders, "If you wanted to cuddle, just ask." Shikamaru smiled at Neji's blush. He nuzzled Neji's neck, breathing in the smell of Neji, "you smell good Neji." Shikamaru said, smirking at Neji's brighter blush. Shikamaru stopped teasing him, and watched thought play across Neji's face, he was debating whether to ask for a kiss or not, he liked Shikamaru's kiss, but he didn't want to seem, pushy, finally, he looked away, "Shikamaru, can I…" he stopped, blush covering his cheeks. "What is it Neji?" Shikamaru asked softly, waiting, "Can you close your eyes?" Neji answered softly. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, but did as requested, Neji slowly leaned in, gently pressing his lips to Shikamaru's, shocking Shikamaru, who paused, before slowly kissed Neji back, softly and lovingly, when Neji moaned, he was shocked as Shikamaru's tongue invaded his mouth, he closed his eyes, enjoying the battle of tongues, and he allowed Shikamaru to explore his mouth.
They pulled away breathless, Neji melted into Shikamaru's embrace, and they sat in the room, just enjoying each other's presence. Neji felt loved for the first time since his dad had died. "Thank you so much Shikamaru." He whispered, barely audible. "Troublesome Neji, why are you thanking me? I am thanking you, you bring new light to my life." They both laughed at how sappy Shikamaru sounded. Neji curled closer to him, enjoying the warmth, he was happy for the first time, in what seemed like forever. He didn't even mind that his body still hurt, and he couldn't see well. "By the way, your hair is troublingly beautiful, so very tempting…" Shikamaru said, nuzzling Neji's neck through his hair. Neji laughed softly
When they awoke the next morning, they were still in each other's arms, and Neji was much better, he could see, and most of his wounds had healed. They prepared to head back to Konaha, no use getting called rogue, they weren't going to be charged with Hiashi's death, Neji was going to tell them, he came to check on him, and the edge crumbled. Simple yet effective. When they arrived, Neji fetched his things, and they went apartment hunting together, and they both agreed on a small, yet confortable apartment, not run down, but relatively cheap. They got in a mild argument, Neji wanted Shikamaru to move in so he could escape his dad, Shikamaru didn't agree, he had to stay and help his family run the deer. They finally agreed, but Neji decided to turn the table and stalk Shikamaru.
Sitting outside his window, he watched Shikamaru go home, and tell his dad he'd been on a minor mission. His dad accepted this and went back to work, Shikamaru went to his room, and read a book, and smiled softly, probably thinking of Neji. Writing in his book, he walked outside, and took care of chores, monitoring everything, he chased off a pack of wolves. Neji watched him help an injured one, caring for it, and feeding it. Neji's heart sailed, as he watched Shikamaru. He worried when he saw Shikamaru head home with a frown, dad waiting outside. "What now dad? Troublesome as you are…" Shikamaru said, walking past him into the house. His dad followed him, "I talked to Tsunade, she said, you were hanging out with that Hyuuga boy. When did you guys become friends?!" sounding angry, Shikamaru looked at him, "Why does it matter to you, its my business." Planting himself between Shikamaru and the stairs, he looks him over, "You're extremely happy, you don't like the boy now do you?! You know how angry I'd be if you had a lover! I thought I taught you that you are just a thing for anyone I say to fuck."
Shikamaru glared, "I am not your property, and I never will be do you understand me?! I belong to myself now move you troublesome father!" Neji knew it probably took a lot out of Shikamaru to say that to his dad. He watched his dad use shadow posesion jutsu, and growled, Shikamaru struggled, but his dad got him first. Neji slowly crept closer, watching what happened. "If you like the Neji boy, maybe I'll just have to tame him as well…" Shikamaru stared at him, "Neji will never be touched by the likes of you!" hissed Shikamaru, struggling with his shadow against his dad. When his dad walked him upstairs, he began struggling harder, fear flashing in his eyes, he was now dating Neji, he wouldn't let his dad do that to him!
Neji appeared at the door, watching as his dad froze in shock, he got into stance, and preformed sixty four chakra points. Shikamaru was freed from the jutsu, and Neji smirked, "Don't mess with my boyfriend, I will kill you." He turned towards Shikamaru and hugged him whispering, "Don't scare me like that." Shikamaru's dad tried to make a grab at them, Neji fluidly dodged, pulling out a kunai, and placing it at Shikamaru's dad's neck, "Do you want to live to see tomorrow?" He asked fiercely, and smirked at the fear in Shika's dad's eyes, "Then don't mess with us, I'll kill you." He released Shika's dad, and sat on Shikamaru's bed, "want to move in with me now? Please?!" Shikamaru looked at the worry and fear on Neji's face and sighed, "As troublesome as it would be, yes, I can't have my Neji upset." Neji's face lit up with a very small smile, and he hugged Shikamaru.
Shikamaru laughed, and they slowly moved all of his things into Neji's new apartment, he raised an eyebrow when he saw Neji had switched his single bed with a queen, but made no comment, remembering how happy Neji was just to cuddle. They both unpacked, and the place was oddly clean, yet, gave off a lived in air. Neji hugged Shikamaru, and they dressed in boxers. Shikamaru layed down first, patting the bed as Neji hoped on, they cuddled, and Shikamaru leaned down, passionately kissing Neji, "So want to go on an actual date tomorrow?" Shikamaru asked, smiling softly. Neji's eyes lit up, "If its not too troublesome for you." He teased, laughing. They kissed, and started drifting to sleep.
A/N FINALLY! I know its short, I haven't worked on this for almost a year, so it took me a while to remember how I wrote it… I'm sorry if it was bad!
