Disclaimer: It doesn't say "Masashi Kishimoto" on my underwear, that must mean that I don't own Naruto... merde.
A/N: Really short. I think all my fluffy ideas drown in the pool of angst I've been swimming in.

Smoking (three)

As Konohamaru approached their usual spot, he saw a trail of smoke wafting up over Shikamaru. "I thought you quit?" he asked Shikamaru's back.
Shikamaru didn't respond. Konohamaru threw himself on the ground next to him, and took the cigarette from Shikamaru's hand. He put it to his own mouth. Inhaled. He coughed violently.
"Don't do that." Shikamaru muttered, looking at his shoes.
"If you can do it, I can too." Konohamaru said determinedly. He always hated the way his eyes watered from the smoke. It was even worse to feel his throat constricting. He coughed again, but continued smoking.
Shikamaru gave Konohamaru a half-hearted glare. "You don't get it," he said tiredly.
"Yes I do."
Shikamaru snatched the cigarette from Konohamaru, and stamped it out. He left. Konohamaru shot a watery glare at his back.
