Smoking (two)

Shikamaru was waiting outside the Hokage Mansion. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, and lit it. Sakura was inside talking to Tsunade-sama. Once they finished, he and Sakura would be going on a mission-- something about escorting a politician; C-rank. Boring. Shikamaru let his eyes close, and continued smoking.
After an uneventful moment, he felt someone pull the cigarette from his mouth. "You shouldn't smoke," came Konohamaru's voice. Shikamaru opened his eyes to see the kid fixing him with a serious look; Konohamaru tossed the cigarette on the ground, and stamped it out.
"Why not?" Shikamaru said automatically.
Konohamaru smirked. "It's bad for you."
Shikamaru shrugged. "So?"
"There are better ways to remember him. Besides, you may not care if you die early." Konohamaru began tugging at the loose string on his scarf, and looked down at his shoes. "But I do."
