Shikamaru just shrugged. "It was Choji's idea." Just blame Choji, that always works, he thought angrily.
A playful smirk found its way on Hidan's face. "Oh, come on, Shika."
He leaned forward as Shikamaru glared. He continued.
"I don't just live there, I sleep in your room, in your bed." Shikamaru tried to speak, to deny it.
"When I'm not in it-" Hidan chuckled.
"Aww, stop lying." Shikamaru's eyes narrowed at the maniac, head swirling for a better angle.
The result from swinging his head made everyone freeze. Somehow, Hidan had leaned forward a bit, and Shikamaru's face swung toward him, meeting in the middle. Hidan blinked at the brush of Shikamaru's lips against his. All around the table was silent, staring at, mainly, Shikamaru.
Shikamaru's eyes clenched shut, jaw set. His cheeks brightened as his hands grabbed hold of his empty tray. He brought it up and smashed it on the side of Hidan's head. He grumbled something, under his breath, and he stood up.
Hidan groaned, with his hands on his head. "Fu-fucking fucker." More curses came from his mouth and someone about a Jas Shin, whatever a Jas Shin was, jashin was what he actually said. No one else knew that.
His arm reached out and took the butter knife off the table. He stood and followed the other boy out. Saying he seemed annoyed was an understatement. He seemed ready to murder. He walked away, leaving the confused table.
Naruto was the first one to speak up.
"Sh-should we go make sure Shikamaru's alright?" Or will be alright, he thought. Ino and Choji shared a look. They never seen Hidan that angry at Shikamaru before, but Hidan never harmed the Nara before. Choji shook his head, and Ino stated.
"He'll be fine." Naruto squirmed.
"Are you sure?" Choji gave a nod.
"It happens, at home, it never gets out of hand." Crunch, crunch.
Naruto wasn't too keen on leaving Shikamaru with Hidan. Ino and Choji, though, didn't seem to have a problem with it. Kiba glared. "Okay, what the hell's going on?" He wasn't the only one terribly puzzled on what just happened between one of his best friends and some crazy psycho.
Gaara and Sasuke shared one of their own looks. The two seemed to be the only ones that didn't particularly care on the subject.
Hidan saw Shikamaru's back head outside the front door. He followed and scowled at the sun. He didn't enjoy that painful experience back in there, and it was an accident. He turned to the side and saw the one he was looking for.
Hidan stalked forward, but ended up stopping and blinking at the boy. "What are you doing?" Shikamaru just glared him, placing the cigarette in between his lips.
"What does it look like, moron?" He took a long drag and blew out real slow.
"HEY, I'm not a moron-" Shikamaru stated.
"You, clearly, are, since a moron is a stupid person." Hidan's eye twitched.
"I'm not the one that smokes, it'll kill you." Shikamaru gave a hoarse laugh.
"That's what I used to say to someone, but there's things that'll kill you faster." His face grew sad, then, it blinked away.
He took another drag, eyes out at the parking lot. Hidan let out a sigh and threw the knife to the ground.
He went next to Shikamaru and leaned up against the building. "Listen, I was joking about the thing while you sleep." His purple eyes locked with Shikamaru's. "I don't touch you, I promise."
Shikamaru felt something tug at his heart from the look on the other's face. He seemed sincere. "Mn, whatever, doesn't matter."
It became quiet among the two for a drags until Shikamaru heard. "Can I try it?"
"No."
"Why not, you do it!"
"It'll kill you." Shikamaru repeated him.
Hidan slumped against the building with a huff. "Stubborn bastard."
"I could say the same thing about you."
Shikamaru closed his eyes, inhaling the toxin in the cigarette.
A few minutes passed until Hidan asked. "How about now?"
"Once again, no, Hidan." Hidan crossed his arms over his chest.
Shikamaru's eyes flickered over to the pouting boy. They rolled as soon as they saw Hidan's actions. Hidan's eyes just studied Shikamaru. It didn't bother him. He was used to it, by now.
Hidan frowned and moved a bit closer. He put his arms around Shikamaru's waist. Shikamaru froze.
"What- Let go of me." He squirmed.
Hidan, actually, let him go. "Why now?" He grumbled. He wasn't doing anything wrong. Shikamaru slid further away.
"I don't like you touching me." He stated, with his annoyed expression. Hidan grunted.
"Fine, how about if you let me do something?"
"If." Shikamaru's lip quirked up not even a centimeter. "That's not going to happen, but sure, I'll agree to that."
Hidan's face brightened faintly. "Can I-"
"No."
"Dammit."
He almost laughed at Hidan, but held it in. He almost forgot Hidan's mission to see his various expressions. The door next to them opened, and Naruto rushed out, face determined. He tilted his head at the two. "What do you want, Naruto?"
Naruto, over his confusion, glared at him. "I thought you quit."
Shikamaru shrugged a shoulder. He didn't bother to respond, as he finished the cigarette. Naruto let out a sigh.
"The bell rang." He left after telling them that. Shikamaru could care less.
"I'll meet you inside." Hidan eyed the other, who lit another cigarette.
"Yeah, sure, Shika."
Hidan left before Shikamaru could protest to him calling him by that nickname.
The end of the day came, and Hidan walked outside to find Shikamaru gone. The only thing left was at least 20 cigarettes. He just shook his head, and he walked to the house. He hoped that's where Shikamaru was. He got inside by the unlocked front door.
He heard the TV and went toward it. He found Shikamaru on the couch, watching some science junk. Hidan plopped down on the other side of the couch. He would have sat right next to him, or on him, but he did promise him that he wouldn't do anything.
"Do we have to watch this?" Hidan whined. Shikamaru stated.
"Yes, we do, now shut up." He stood up and walked into the kitchen.
He came back with a bowl of popcorn and scowled at the new channel Hidan put on.
"Oh, hell no." Hidan smirked.
"What, it's very 'educational'." Shikamaru narrowed his eyes.
"We are not watching people kill each other."
"C'mon, it's funny, they never get away with it!"
"No." Hidan sped off to another topic.
"Did ya get me a drink for my popcorn?"
Shikamaru remained silent. He took his seat, far away from the silver-haired one. Hidan made a face.
"Fine, I'll get it myself."
He left the room, only to hear yelling from the room he just left. It sounded like Shikamaru, actually. He forgot about his drink and made it back to the room.
What was he shouting about? He thought.
