DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO:( WISH I DID THOUGH.
Shikamaru casually walked up to his destination that unusually cold summers evening in Konoha. He was forced into joining his friends that evening for dinner since they hardly see a lot of each other. Everyone had their own duties and responsibilities. Hell, Shikamaru was the head of his clan and was put in charge of maintaining the Allied Shinobi Force and that was besides the fact that Tsunade was grooming him to take on the role of the Jounin Commander in Konoha, the role which his father had commanded with perfection over the years. He hardly had any time to himself these days but he always seemed to find time for cloud watching.
He casually looked up and saw the classy restaurant in the distance and hated that he had to wear a suit. He found it uncomfortable and irritating that he could hardly move the way he wanted to. How was he supposed to protect himself or his friends if they were attacked? His mind then went blank as he took in the sight before him.
The shy Hyuga stood outside the restaurant looking around if she could spot her friends approaching in the distance. She hadn't spotted the shadow user yet but he had spotted her and she had taken his breath away. She wore an elegant light blue dress that hugged her body in all the right places. She wasn't fat or chubby; she was nearly as thin as Shikamaru. Her huge breasts were nicely tucked away under the sleeveless and strapless dress. She wore a thin necklace but Shikamaru couldn't exactly see what was on the round silver figure that sat perfectly on her chest.
"Shikamaru-san." Hinata greeted him with a slight bow. It always amazed him how formal Hinata could be even though they were the same age and she had already been a jounin for over a year now while he had only recently become a jounin. She was his superior if you thought about it.
"Good evening Hinata-chan." Shikamaru returned her greeting as he bowed as well. She was the Hyuga heiress so he should really be showing her more respect than she was showing him. "You really shouldn't be bowing your head to me." He told her as he scratched the back of his head not knowing what to do.
"B-But you..." Hinata tried to say but was cut off by Shikamaru shaking his head with a smile.
"I don't think this is an argument either one of us would win." Shikamaru told her as he let out a laugh followed by Hinata's giggle.
"Yeah." she agreed as she looked down but Shikamaru could still see her smile.
"I shouldn't try to change you either. You would probably still bow even though I tell you not to. You're perfect the way you are." Shikamaru stated and immediately started blushing as he realised what he had just said.
"T-Thank you." Hinata stuttered under her breath barely audible for Shikamaru to hear.
"Tch... troublesome." Shikamaru sighed as he looked around but didn't see any of his other friends approaching yet. "We should wait inside for everyone. It's cold out here and you don't really look like you're dressed for the cold either."
"O-Okay." Hinata agreed and Shikamaru opened the door for them. Hinata entered first followed by her counterpart and they immediately walked towards the receptionist who looked like he was expecting them.
"Ah Shikamaru-san, Hinata-sama; follow me please." the short man with huge round glasses told them as he lead them into the restaurant that was already filled with a sea of people. They followed the man through the maze of people then stopped by a table that had a perfect view of the trees on the other side of the street. Everything about the restaurant oozed with elegance and class from the perfectly arranged cutlery on the table to the clear window that was next to the table.
"I think you made a mistake." Shikamaru told the man. "We are meeting our friends here so we need more than just two seats."
"A young blonde girl said that you would tell me that. She told me to tell you that they wouldn't be coming and as an apology she has paid for everything already so all you have to do is sit and enjoy the evening." The short man then left the two ninja dumbfounded. Shikamaru came to his senses first and being the gentleman that his mother beat into him, he pulled out the seat for Hinata and motioned for her to take her seat which she did. He then made his way to the opposite seat and sat down as he looked at Hinata and smiled.
Shikamaru thought about this whole situation for a moment. The young blonde girl was unmistakeably Ino Yamanaka who was also the head of her clan since her father and Shikamaru's father had died in the previous war. Ino had known that Shikamaru was extremely busy but she still managed to convince him to come out this evening so that he could be with the rest of their friends even if it was just for an evening. He suspected that Ino had planned this all the while. She had known that Shikamaru wasn't dating anyone and neither was Hinata. Shikamaru and Temari had gone out a couple of times but ultimately had to face the harsh reality that she belong to Suna and he belonged to Konoha. Hinata wasn't dating anyone as far as he could tell. Hinata and Naruto hadn't worked out either. Naruto was too blinded by his ambition of becoming hokage to realise that the Hyuga princess had wanted a relationship with him that surpassed the realms of friendship.
He looked up at Hinata and contemplated if he wanted to be more than just friends with Hinata. Hinata was definitely beautiful and he knew that. Even Neji had made a comment once about Hinata being beautiful but he hadn't meant it in any romantic way since they were family; cousins to be exact. Hinata was strong which had become very evident in the war. He was surprised by how much her abilities had grown since their academy days but he should've expected nothing less from a Hyuga jounin. He know how confident Hinata was in her abilities. She wouldn't volunteer to show it but if she was asked to do something then she would do it to the best of her abilities which was nothing short of amazing. Shikamaru gazed at Hinata with a new realisation. She was amazing and he had only fully realised that now. She was as graceful as an angel but could easily transform into a ferocious lion if need be.
"Um... Shikamaru." Hinata said his name snapping him out of his thoughts. He had been staring at her for an unusually long time but it was worth it considering how he now viewed the Hyuga princess in front of him.
"Sorry about that." he apologised as he tried to think of an excuse for staring so long. "It's just... you look beautiful."
"Thank y-you." Hinata replied. "You look handsome in your suit as well."
"I don't really feel comfortable in it though. Can't really protect anyone in it. I probably wouldn't be able to protect myself." He admitted which caused her to laugh a little. "What's so funny?"
"I-I don't think I've seen you in a s-suit before." she answered him.
He thought about that for a while and she was right. Besides Ino and Choji, who were basically family, no one outside his clan had seen him in a suit. Not even Lady Tsunade. He had always worn his Konoha ninja attire with the exception of his forehead protector being on his arm. He would always be seen with one layer of clothing removed or a layer added on top of that but that was his basic clothing. He had worn his black pants and shirt on days of mourning but that was the only other change. Everything else was the same which he didn't dare complain about. If anything changed then that would require more effort on his part which the lazy ninja would want to avoid more than anything.
"I don't really like dealing with different clothes. Takes too much effort and time." he stated causing her to laugh again.
"You're lazy." she told him as she continued laughing bringing a smile to Shikamaru's face.
"Did you only realise that now?" he jokingly challenged her.
"Well... yes and n-no." she stuttered. Shikamaru could hear her confidence growing with every moment they spent talking. Her stutter was fading and he was able to pick at her brain a little.
"Oh?" he questioned her without really saying the question itself.
"I knew that you were lazy i-in the academy with you and Naruto sleeping in class. I would see you sometimes laying on a hill and watching the clouds as well and during the chunin exams you looked like you didn't want to take part in it as well." she explained. "But then I saw how smart you were. You were amazing and you were the only rookie to become a chunin. Then I saw how your team and the entire village started respecting you and your judgement. Even now you have the respect of all the Kage and its ninjas. You're a hard worker despite your appearance. Your father would be proud."
The way she ended her statement had turned Shikamaru's mood upside. It's not that he was still mourning the loss of his father but it was the fact that he still felt inferior to him and he always will. Shikaku had always received respect throughout the entire ninja world. All the Kage knew that the brains behind Konoha's strategic planning and success was Shikaku. He was regarded as the smartest ninja of his generation and that was evident when he was asked to be the head strategist in the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
"I'm sorry if I-I said anything wrong." Hinata quickly apologised noticing Shikamaru's sad emotions displayed on his face.
"It's okay." Shikamaru reassured Hinata. "I miss him sometimes but that just means that he has a special place in my heart. I know that I won't live up to his legacy but I will do what I can and hopefully he won't beat me too badly in the next life."
"I'm sure he won't." Hinata softly responded. "You are the leader of the Allied Shinobi Force. They don't just give anyone that position. The five Kage came to a decision that you should be the one to lead it. Out of all the ninja in every nation, you were chosen. Your father would be proud." she gently placed her hand on his hand that was resting across the table.
That small gesture seemed to light a fire in Shikamaru's dormant heart. On all the dates he had been on with Temari, she had never once showed any public affection for Shikamaru but that's just who she was and Shikamaru accepted that. Yet, Hinata's act of affection seemed to initiate a fire in him that he thought would never be lit again.
"Thank you." Shikamaru sincerely told her as he looked her in her pale eyes that seemed to see through all the he had put around him to protect him from any and all unnecessary emotions. Temari had rubbed off on him more than he'd admit but all it took for those walls to become obsolete to Hinata was a simple conversation.
"Your food." a waiter said as he balanced two trays on his arm perfectly. Hinata immediately removed her hand from Shikamaru's and he immediately missed the warmth her hand seemed to provide. The waiter placed a tray of food in front of each of them and then left. Hinata had traditional Japanese zenzai with a few wraps on the sides of the bowl while Shikamaru had a medium sized plates with mackerel and kelp prepared in the way he liked it.
"This looks amazing." Shikamaru commented as the waiter returned with a couple of drinks. Both their moods were lifted now and the happily began eating. Shikamaru decided to try something interesting since he didn't want an awkward silence to develop while they ate.
"Hinata, would you mind if I could taste some of your zenzai?" Shikamaru asked her as she dipped one of the wraps in it.
"Um... s-sure." Hinata nervously replied as she lifted the wrap in the air with a hand under it to stop it from dripping onto the table. Shikamaru saw what she was doing and leaned forward as he took a bite then sunk back down into his seat as he chewed then swallowed.
"It tastes great." Shikamaru happily replied as he saw Hinata blushing and he could figure out very easily why she was blushing. He then took a piece of mackerel and kelp in between his chopsticks and lifted it in her direction. She understood what he was doing and she replied by leaning forward and ate the food he offered.
"I l-like it." Hinata replied as she continued blushing.
"It's one of my favourite." Shikamaru told her as he heard a people of whispers. He turned his head then saw a couple looking at them and smiling before they returned to their own meal. This brought a blush to Shikamaru's face that rivalled Hinata's.
"That was the first time I ever fed a guy." Hinata said as she smiled but refused to make eye contact with Shikamaru.
"I didn't really think you would do that. I thought we could just exchange plates for a moment." Shikamaru said with a laugh as Hinata's embarrassment became evident. "But I enjoyed it and don't regret a thing."
"You could've told me to do that instead of letting me embarrass myself like that." Hinata responded.
"I did it too." he pointed out. "If anything, I should be the one that's embarrassed. A girl feeding a guy is cute especially when they're on a date. A guy feeding..."
"This is a date?" Hinata asked interrupting his words.
"Um... I don't know." Shikamaru answered as he scratched the back of his head. He hadn't intended to say that they were on a date; it just came out. "I think this is what Ino wanted. I mean, we're both single and we've known each other since the academy days. If I had to ask Ino to arrange a blind date, not that I did that, then I would've hoped that it would be you. You're amazing and easy to get along with. I don't deserve someone like you and your father would probably ban me from going on a date with his daughter."
"My father doesn't have any say in my love life." Hinata confidently stated. "And you should stop putting yourself down like that. You are more of a man than any other ninja. You don't deserve me; you deserve someone better than me."
"I guess both of us don't deserve each other but our friends think we do so are you willing to give me a chance at least?" Shikamaru uncharacteristically took the lead.
"Yes." Hinata answered him as she flashed a smile that seemed to continue fanning the fire that was already burning in his heart.
They continued eating and enjoying each others company. Both of them seemed to be drawn to each other with each word that left their lips. That longing feeling of companionship that none of them realised was being filled with the joy they brought each other. Each laugh, each smile, each small gesture of kindness they showed each other led their thoughts to wonder why they hadn't done this sooner. They seemed to be the perfect match through and through. Hinata's mind seemed like an easy challenge to overcome for Shikamaru and he liked that she wasn't very hard to read but when he thought he was nearing the end of puzzle she would break it apart and he would have to start all from over which he didn't seem to mind.
Once they finished their dessert they stood up and left the restaurant. The moon was already placed high in the sky indicating that it was already very late. They hadn't noticed how long they actually spent inside the restaurant enjoying each others company but it was clear that both of them didn't want it to end.
"Can I walk you home?" Shikamaru offered Hinata. He didn't want her walking home alone at night and it felt like the gentlemanly thing to do.
"You may." Hinata politely replied as a gust of cold wind blew past them carrying a few leaves down the street. Hinata instinctively put her hands on her shoulders to try and warm her up.
"Here, take this." Shikamaru told her as he took his jacket off and handed it to Hinata.
"No its..." Hinata tried to protest but Shikamaru then went behind her and put it on her.
"Tch... troublesome woman." Shikamaru muttered under his breath but he knew Hinata could hear since they were so close. He expected Hinata to be hurt by his remark about her but he instead found her to be laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Shikamaru questioned her.
"You." she answered him as she continued laughing but Shikamaru looked confused. "You say something is troublesome yet you still do it anyway. It's funny." she continued laughing as he just turned his head away trying to hide his embarrassment as Hinata's assessment was true. Suddenly he found Hinata grabbing his hand and jerking him forward as she started walking.
"Troublesome?" Hinata asked him as her smile played provocatively on her lips.
"Definitely." he replied as they laughed and continued walking down the empty street. There were lampposts shining down on the street but the darkness consumed the areas the light couldn't cover.
"Hey pretty lady." a guy with a short black beard and bald head greeted Hinata as he came around the corner. He clearly didn't pay any mind to Shikamaru as he was clearly drunk by the way he was finding it hard to stand and by the way his words slurred.
"How about you hang out with me tonight? I will show you a good time you know." he continued.
"Um... no thank you." Hinata politely replied.
"Come on. Your boring friend over here can go home and I promise that you won't regret it." he said as he put his arm around Hinata's shoulders. Shikamaru immediately took his arm off her shoulders and pushed the man away from Hinata.
"I believe that she doesn't want to hang out with you tonight so I suggest you go home and sleep." Shikamaru calmly told him.
"Whatever." the man replied as he straightened himself. "She looks like she's had her fair share of men attacking those jugs on her anyway." Shikamaru immediately got angry. That guy, drunk or not, was clearly insinuating that Hinata was a whore and Shikamaru wasn't going to stand for it.
"I gave you a chance to leave." Shikamaru told the man standing in the distance. Shikamaru let go of Hinata's hand and his shadow immediately attached itself to the drunkard who didn't seem to know what was going on. Shikamaru then punched the man's stomach then punched his face twice before releasing his shadow and allowing the man to fall to the ground with an audible thump.
Shikamaru then turned around to see if Hinata was okay but he noticed that she wasn't there anymore. He saw a figure running down the street and immediately realised that it was Hinata who was running away from them. Shikamaru immediately took off after Hinata not thinking twice.
"Hinata wait!" Shikamaru called after her but she didn't stop. He followed her footsteps to the Hyuga compound then slowed down as he saw Hinata stop by the door to the main building. He could hear her sobs as he realised that she was crying. He immediately went towards her and put his arms around her. She didn't resist. She continued crying against him as her tears dampened his shirt while her arms wrapped around his body as well.
"I-I'm sorry." Hinata apologised as she fought through her tears.
"I'm sorry." Shikamaru told Hinata. "I shouldn't have let him talk about you like that. I am really sorry. You don't deserve to be spoken to like that. That guy should be lucky to be in your presence." Her sobs continued raining down from her eyes. He knew she was hurting and he wanted to be there for her to try and comfort her. He started rubbing her back and whispering in her ear that everything was okay and they she was amazing. She started calming down but still held onto Shikamaru.
"Thank you." Hinata said as she lifted her head to look at him.
"It's the least I could do." Shikamaru responded as he gave her a smile. Hinata smiled back then lifted herself up against him as her lips met his. Her actions surprised him a little but quickly gained control of himself again and returned her kiss. He knew how he felt about her and he wanted to show her that.
"Are you okay?" Shikamaru asked Hinata once they parted for air.
"Yeah." Hinata said unconvincingly. Shikamaru grabbed the doorknob and turned it so that the door opened.
"Let's have some tea and we can continue talking or whatever you want to do until I'm convinced that you're okay." Shikamaru suggested and Hinata agreed. She led the way inside the household then showed Shikamaru where the kitchen was before she disappeared down the hallway. Shikamaru then started making the tea the way his mother had taught him. There was only one problem; he didn't know where everything was.
"This is one problem I don't need right now." Shikamaru stated as he looked around at the many cupboards in the kitchen. He had started boiling the water but without finding the rest of the things he needed, that was going to be the only thing he could do.
"Are you okay?" Hinata asked as she appeared behind him. She looked like she had regained her composure and was back to her old self.
"I don't know where everything is for the tea." Shikamaru told her as he laughed while she smiled her breathtaking smile.
"I think I should make the tea rather." Hinata suggested as she started taking everything she needed out. She knew exactly where everything was and she was in control of everything around her. He liked this side of Hinata; the strong, confident woman he knew she could be.
"What's wrong?" Hinata asked him.
"Nothing, I just... liked watching you be in control." Shikamaru answered her as he didn't think that lying to her would be worth anything.
"It's only tea." Hinata replied as she smiled to herself. She continued making the tea then they found themselves in the lounge when she had finished.
"I never expected this when I came out tonight." Shikamaru stated as he tried to start a conversation.
"Me neither." Hinata agreed as she looked down at the liquid in her cup.
"I..." Shikamaru was about to continue but was cut off by Hinata.
"What do you think about me?" Hinata asked Shikamaru.
"Well... you're amazing really. You are smart and strong and definitely skilled." he answered her as he rubbed the back of his head not knowing if that's what she wanted to hear. "Besides that, you're extremely beautiful. You're the closest person to the perfect kunoichi that I can think of. You're caring and you want to make people happy which makes you happy." Suddenly Hinata stood up and made her way over to Shikamaru then kissed him again but this time it was more fierce than the one outside the door.
"Shikamaru, I like you very much, I really do. You're smart and handsome and you make me feel confident about just being me." Hinata said as she sat next to him.
"I told you before; I wouldn't want to change anything about you. I like you for who you are. I want to be with you and make you happy." Shikamaru said those words without thinking about what they entailed. He spoke from his heart and that was the truth. No more games, no more hiding. If she didn't want to be with him then this was the time to tell him. Hinata didn't reply but instead went around and sat on top of his legs as she kissed him again.
Their lips battled each other for dominance and until finally their lips gave way to their tongues. They battled each other with each one exploring the others cavern. Their moans of pleasure were audible with each slide of their tongues over each other. Hinata's hands started unbuttoning Shikamaru's shirt as he tore away the tie that he had put on. Without breaking their kiss Shikamaru's shirt was off leaving only his exposed upper body against Hinata. He withdrew his lips as he began kissing her soft feminine jaw before making his way to her ear.
"Are you sure about this?" Shikamaru asked her. His warm breath sending a wave of pleasure over her entire body.
"Yes." Hinata replied but it came out as more of a moan. Shikamaru immediately started kissing her again then found the zip at the back of her dress and pulled it down. Hinata immediately stood up and got out of the dress leaving her only in her matching white underwear. She sat down on Shikamaru's legs again pushing him down slowly as his hands snaked around her round ass and gave it a quick squeeze.
"Ah." Hinata moaned before kissing him again. She started undoing his pants as he took off her bra. Her breasts hung against his chest as she took off his pants then his boxers leaving his erect member throbbing against her. She moaned as Shikamaru kissed her neck then went down to her breasts and took one in his mouth as his hand pleasured the other one.
"You sound so sexy when you moan." Shikamaru told her as he rubbed his member against the last bit of fabric that she had on.
"Take it off." Hinata pleaded as he continued rubbing himself against her. He gently pushed her white underwear down her legs then immediately felt her wet core against his erect shaft. Hinata immediately grabbed him and placed him at her entrance as she gently slid him in her. All traces of her shyness and stuttering gone as she took the lead but Shikamaru was not going to let her have all the fun.
He grabbed Hinata's body then turned her over as she was now on her back and he was on top of her. He pushed himself further into Hinata hearing her moan as Shikamaru felt how tight she was. It felt like her walls were crushing him but that encouraged him to keep going.
"Yes... Shikamaru... ah." she moaned as he finally came to a stop when he felt that he couldn't go in anymore. He had hit a wall but this is where the fun began. He pulled out of her then slowly thrusted in making her get used to it but gradually picked up the pace.
"You feel awesome." Shikamaru told her as he thrusted in her. Her legs wrapped around his waist as she allowed him further inside her reaching a spot that made her moan in absolute pleasure.
"Yes... ah... ah... yes." she panted as her body was climaxing. She felt an overwhelming wave of pleasure building up inside of her as Shikamaru did wanders to her body. He felt her core getting tighter and tighter making his climax start.
"Hinata... I'm cumming." Shikamaru told her as he didn't stop thrusting.
"Me too." Hinata replied as she sounded out of breath. "Shikamaru!" she shouted his name in pleasure as her walls clamped down on Shikamaru was her juices poured out of her body.
"Hinata!" Shikamaru's voice rivalled hers as he let his seed explode out inside her. He thrusted a couple of more times as he rode out their orgasms as long as he could before collapsing next to Hinata who was breathless.
"That was amazing." Hinata told him then slowly stood up. He stood up as well then pulled her in for a long passionate kiss.
"Come." Hinata instructed him as she grabbed his hand and started leading him out of the room.
"Where are we going?" Shikamaru asked her.
"To my room. I'm not done with you yet." Hinata seductively said.
"I was hoping not." Shikamaru told her as they entered a room and he immediately turned her around and picked her up. His mouth immediately latched onto hers as he walked towards her bed. He lowered her onto it then positioned his already hard member at her entrance and thrusted in again. She was still tight but this time he knew that he could go further than the last time. He slid in and out of her warm core leaving her panting with each other. His hands played with her erect nipples as she shouted his name in pure joy. Her moans drove him crazy as he pleasured her. He didn't want to stop.
They continued pleasuring themselves with orgasm after orgasm as none of them wanted to give up. They wanted to feel every part of their partners body and they wanted to make each other happy.
Their tea long forgotten in the lounge area where they had started their pleasure. This was definitely one way to start their relationship.
