Summary: Shikamaru discovers that he has two shadows now: his own, and Konohamaru. Little vignettes about the evolution of their friendship.
Disclaimer: It doesn't say "Masashi Kishimoto" on my underwear, that must mean that I don't own Naruto... merde.

"What are you doing here?" Choji asked. He had noted Shikamaru's presence before he could see him; the smell of smoke permeated the air around his house. Choji frowned; he'd always hated that smell.
Shikamaru sighed, and took a dreg of his cigarette. "You know me," he said, attempting to smile. "I'm too lazy to hold a grudge for long."
Choji furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh..." Looking at Shikamaru, he couldn't detect a reason not to believe what he said. "So are we... friends again?" he asked hesitantly.
Shikamaru shrugged. "If you want."
"I do," Choji said quietly.
"Then I guess we are."
"Okay."
Shikamaru looked up, and then back at Choji. He took the cigarette from his mouth, and tossed it to the ground, stamping it out. "Want to watch clouds?" Shikamaru asked
Choji smiled slightly. "I'll get some snacks," he said, turning to go in his house.

After all of Ino's plotting, that's all it took... I hope it wasn't anticlimactic; I thought it was cute. Thanks for reading, and I hope you liked it. I would be much obliged if you reviewed!
