I appreciate yall reading and reviewing!
Enjoy and I will do my best to keep catching up on updates!
He had been correct on his assumption about his companion. Naru had gotten fatigued not long before entering the walking path to leave the Nara's Western lands.
A look of confusion was followed by amused exasperation as he noted the feeling on his shoulder was wet . . . drool from one very knocked out Naru, the quiet buzz of her light snore he couldn't help but note was adorable.
He tightened his grip under her knees as he picked up pace, flitting through Konoha and to his apartment balcony.
He let her gently slip from his shoulders, watching with rapt amusement as she curled on to her side, lips parted, hair now in a high ponytail splayed across the dark bedding of his guest bedroom, her clothing disheveled.
His mind wandered, eyes narrow and dark as he took in the enigma that is Uzumaki Naruto.
Shaking himself from his internal musing, hands moving to gently cover her, he then paced out of his home to grab a likely much appreciated dinner.
Based on the silent apartment on return, he could only assume Naru was still sleeping when he returned with a large order from Ichiraku.
He wakes her gently, amused at her excitement around something as simple as ramen.
So much different than the girls seeking a Clan Matriarch role or even Suna's Princess and her entitled actions. He left him warm and wanting as he gazed warmly at the little blonde, nearly vibrating as she did her best to wait for him to sit himself to eat with her.
Chuckling with a smirk to himself, the image was bright in his head.
Like a damn puppy, wiggling away in her seat.
She glared as he smiled lazily, moving languidly as he laid out the boxes of Ichiraku Ramen, carefully making them some tea, glancing, teasingly at her as he took his sweet ass time.
She asks about him growing up as a clan kid. Genius. Why he loves Shougi.
He asks who she was closest to, she shared about her Jiji and Inu-san, later Iruka, Jiriya and Baa-chan.
She shared about how much she loved going back to the orphanage. He asks why she doesn't use some of her mission funds to donate? Suggests seeing what the Nara clan donates to . . .
It was how she fell in love with cooking and baking, cuz she could give something with care and something that was needed and couldn't be abused or stolen from the kids.
He asks around sharing her secret with Chouji.
She is curious at first, wary, but he explains.
So Ino doesn't have to hide it from her fiancé and with her pregnancy, he wanted to make sure she had a bit of back up.
Also, he was a kind and loyal friend and would accept her, however she looked. A good person to have should she need support and he was busy.
It's an interesting point really. That so many had bought the more "male"
She agrees looking uncomfortable but interested and he can't help but feel his heart swell at her the gentle trusting look in her eyes. It was in that moment he could see both the male and female role.
Feeling bold, he kisses her, passionate but gentle, thanking her as he leans his forehead on hers, hand still cupping her whiskered cheek and jawline.
She looks dazed and a bit confused by the thank you.
He chuckles, low and deep, gives her one more quick, brief brush of contact on her lips, and stands, knowing if he stays he may not have the strength to not do more, as he bids her goodnight, leaving a stunned, slightly bewildered blonde to watch his broad back, long legs and delicious ass in the middle of it all as he saunters to his bedroom, her fingertips gently touching her lower lip.
The next morning came quicker than Shikamaru thought. He had been in his kitchen making some onigiri, grilled fish and a light soup when he heard her efforts to get out of bed. As he paced towards her door, curious and slightly worried at the "thud" he had heard, he was stunned to find himself on his hallway floor, as a warm, compact body with curves now against him, golden hair in his face as she had barreled into him, causing her to fall on top of him.
He couldn't help but be amused that the moment she was awake, she was throwing normalcy to the wind.
So amusingly troublesome.
He noted her deep blush, making him chuckle at her response.
Naru on the other hand, was mortified. Her palms planted firmly on his pecs; her entire body length pressed firmly across his hard, honed body. She shifted, trying to press with her hands and drop her knee to lever herself up, only for Shikamaru tighten his hold on her upper arms, his eyes now laser focused on her.
Sweet Kami-sama, this woman, his mind reeled.
She had of course dropped her knee between his legs and being as short as she was, she was now pressed against some very sensitive anatomy. Not that her confused cornfield blue stare seemed aware of what she was doing to him at all.
With slow, deliberate motions, he let go of her upper arms and grabbed her by her hips, his mind drifting slightly at the give of her supple flesh there.
A wicked thought crossed his mind and he couldn't help but indulge.
With a quick motion, as he began lifting her off of him, he couldn't help but slide her along his growing length, watching her pupils blow as she let out a choked gasp, biting her lip in an effort to cut off her involuntary response.
He was definitely an asshole, he concluded, ripe with amusement, his eyes burrowing into hers as he allowed the slightest smirk to light his lips.
With gargantuan mental effort, he focused, willing his growing problem away as he lifted her off on him and sat up, noting her staring at his abs as they flexed in his sitting up while lifting her up and to the side of him.
Only fair, he smirked, noting the blush had darkened on the little blonde's cheeks.
Mumbling her apology, she scampered off to the shower, leaving him hot, bothered and oh so entertained.
Troublesome, impossible woman.
He planned to have a conversation with the Hokage around Naruto's leave paperwork to extend it per Ino's clinical suggestion, adding the assessment around Naruto's brain bleed and symptoms, as well as hopefully touch base with Ino around a time to meet with Chouji, as he left Naru's breakfast on the table and a note that he would be back later and a bold reminder not to use chakra.
Moving swiftly to the rooftops of his own apartment, he hoped for today that he would have no more curveballs but knowing Naru, he had a nagging sense of doubt.
And he just couldn't seem to care . . . for all the trouble he knew it would cause.
How odd, he couldn't help but think, recognizing how abnormal it was for a Nara to willingly allow such troublesome things to still happen in their day and not avoid it.
Smiling, paced a bit faster towards Hokage Tower, hopeful to start his day so he could end it and come home to one crazy little house guest of his.
