Disclaimer: It doesn't say "Masashi Kishimoto" on my underwear, that must mean that I don't own Naruto... merde.
A/N: In honour of the season-- and the weather reports that say we may get snow on Monday!--, I've decided to write something Wintery.
A/N2: So much for working like a madwoman on my other stuff...

Snow

Shikamaru groaned as he looked out the window that morning. Snow. Great. That meant he would have to have to age old debate as to whether he should wear more layers of clothes. If he did, then he would be warm while walking outside, but as soon as he entered a building, he would overheat. But if he didn't, he would freeze outside, and be comfortable inside. Or he could wear one layer, and be cold outside, and hot inside... Shikamaru sighed; he hated snow.
As Shikamaru opened the front door, he saw something white flying at him. Splat. He wiped the snow from his face, and glared at its point of origin.
Standing there, smiling impishly, was Konohamaru. Of course, Konohamaru would be one of those weirdos who actually liked the cold. He tossed another snowball-- which Shikamaru dodged--, and laughed. Unfortunately, Konohamaru was too distracted watching Shikamaru, so he missed Naruto sneaking up behind him. Naruto plunged a handful of snow down the back of Konohamaru's shirt.
Konohamaru squawked indignantly, and punched Naruto in the face. Shikamaru sighed. He stepped onto the street, and fell flat on his back. The only thing better than snow was ice. Shikamaru hated winter.

Poor Shikamaru, it sucks to fall on ice. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it, and I would like to hear from you.
