Entry for the Kisame Birthday Bash 2023 hosted by @kisames-corner

Day 2 - March 18: Akatsuki Birthday Party | Comrade Killer | Deadliest Catch

For @heyitswrenn​ who gave me the prompt:

What about Kisa finding a love note in his room at the Akatsuki base and wants to find out who left it?

The title comes from this quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

Kisame steps into his room and hears the rustle of paper under the sole of his sandals.

He lifts his foot to reveal a small origami heart - blue, no, purple in colour.

Setting Samehada down, he picks it up, inspecting it carefully. The creases are neat and there are no hidden seals or traces of chakra. Nothing in fact to indicate that it is anything but what it appears to be - a folded piece of paper.

With great care, he opens it up, flattening it as it tries to fold back upon it self, to reveal words. The message isn't very long and he absorbs it quickly.

Kisame-san!

I know it's very late, but...

Be My Valentine?

Sincerely, Your admirer.

(These are my ACTUAL notes from my friends birthday party full of people who absolutely did not know who the fuck Itachi and Kisame were or how pairing names work or what a ship is.)

Writing kisaita (on and off) for 15 years

Never get tired of the ship

Excellent, friendly people in the fandom to keep making content (Cynni)

Presentation is less about the specific ship and more about the general qualities that make their ship S-tier. You may find this echoed in your own OTP, IDK.

Powerful, badass characters who can kick anyones asses no problem, as depicted where they are casually taking a stroll after Kisame (who still has his little fo-hawk) casually takes down the four-tails

Kisame is noted as the ‘tail-less jinchuuriki’

Itachi is clearly a fucking powerhouse, we don’t need to debate that

Working with strong characters means you are more easily able to portray their weakness and explore that side of them since that rarely gets screentime

Auxiliary, not main characters

Main characters are harder to write because they spend a lot of screen time accomplishing their goal and doing Plot

Auxiliary characters are more malleable, and morally gray ones especially so

Depicted here are Itachi and Kisame, separately, being ordered by their villages to kill their own people. They carry this order out, but do not particularly like it. Nor are they particularly loyal to their own villages, despite carrying this order out. It’s hard to say where their loyalities lie.

The answer is WITH EACH OTHER OBVIOUSLY

Any ship that has a timeskip has LOADS of canon-verse material you can work with, especially if it feels like the characters have changed or their dynamic has changed.

For Naruto especially, WTF are Kisame and Itachi doing for three years? Clearly neither of them are out capturing jinchuriki. They aren’t seen lounging around Amegakure or Akatsuki headquarters. They are just traveling the world. Probably doing hits. Probably hitting on EACH OTHER WOOOOOO

Long time skips mean a few thing: 1) Canon divergence, 2) Canon compliant, 3) pre-time skip, 4) during time skip, 5) post time-skip; and that’s not even the AU’s

They clearly haven’t made any other friends during this time either so lots of relationship to explore

The Naruto franchise is notorious for retconning. Probably because Kishimoto (the writer) was pushed to create at a pace that was impossible for any sane or healthy man to keep up with.

Fanficition writers can take advantage of this poor writing by interpreting the character in a lot more ways than if the character was solidly written.

There are a lot of different ways Kisame is written, and accepted as so

Itachi less so but we don’t have time for that

Retconning allows you to take a writers mistake and turn it into utter brainrot that ten other people (me) will reblog every 3 years

This one is kind of specific, but if you like angst then OH BOY this ship has a lot of potential for it

Any OTP that involves an angsty edgelord and a sadistic tagalong can indulge in either EXTRA ANGST and be able to balance out the angst with humor

The KisaIta ship has 4 great themes about it:

Redemption

Acceptance

Forgiveness

And Existentialism of course

Dynamic:

Sharkboy / lava girl

Edgelord / goof

Leader / follower

Maybe old? / a touch too young

Respect for each other

S-tier OTP because of strong themes and repeatable dynamics

Kinkfest here we come

S-tier OTPs must be able to withstand an intense variety of smut writing

Powerful level = able to handle pain and dish out pain

Body things? = more positions

The Shape of Water was one of the single best thing to happen to the KisaIta 18+ fics because (even though it existed before the movie came out) a lot more readers were into it now

Also, Kisame makes this ship work more than Itachi. He is fucking DEVOTED

at this point I was running out of my 10-minutes (THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO PUT ME ON A TIMER) so i just backfilled the rest of the presentation with fanart and memes i like

Why do I like KisaIta?

I mostly write smut

They’re great at smut

I also like angst

They’re always great for angst, either character

Also look at them they are hot AF

Beefcake service-top vs. ‘shaped like a katana’ masochist

Healthy dose of hurt-comfort

They’re extremely flexible to write and so there’s a lot of stories you can create

thank you for not reporting me to the powerpoint police

Version of my Yuu for the manhwa AU!

This AU is by @twstfanblog , so all credit to them for that.

Name: Yuri 

Surname: Akatsuki 

Age: 18 (nearly 19)

Yuri is the daughter of a baron, though she is an Earless due to the title of her deceased husband. She was married off on her 18th birthday, although her husband died of poison two months later, officially declared as him having accidentally ingested a poison by accident that was found in a similar container and next to one of tea. It was labeled as rat poison very explicitly, and thus, they were never tried for murder. She is a very interesting socialite, with no one having any proof of their misdeeds, while rumors about her run wild in high society. She is the only married or widowed one of her siblings, and emerged after six months of locking herself in her estate with a two month old ‘son’ named Alyx that barely resembled them or her husband. In reality, he’s her nephew, though they claimed him as her son in order to protect her older sister and allow them to remain as a respected member of society. Yuri remains as a cheerful member of society and a good caretaker to Alyx, they really wish to travel around the world, and once their Alyx is old enough, she plans on running away to do so. 

Here is the final drawing I made for her outfit, and a few different colored versions;

There are only two ways I can imagine Yuri and Yuu meeting and actually getting to know each other fairly well; Either by meeting at a tea party or something as children, or Yuri coming to Crewel for Alyx’s clothes, and her meeting Yuu while out of the room. I might do a drabble for one or both of those scenarios at some point, but they would be quite different. With the tea party, they would likely both be trying to hide from a boring party that some other noble hosting and running into each other, becoming playmates or sending letters. Or, if they met later on at a appointment when they were both older, they could become close acquaintances, but Yuri would likely try to keep distance unless Yuu tried to befriend her, as she knew she would leave the country in the next few years if all went well.

That’s it for now :) If anyone has any questions or comments, or wants to see the various other designs of dresses that I played around with before landing on this one, please feel free to comment or leave an ask!

Sasodei Christmas Headcanons

❄️ Deidara insists on a real tree, not artificial, every year. Sasori agrees and takes him out into the woods to chop one down. But once they’re out there Deidara fawns over how “perfect” each tree is and “feels bad” about cutting them down. Day ends with a trip to the store for a nice plastic tree. Sasori would prefer keeping the light and ornament scheme monochromatic, but Deidara prefers a helter-skelter of colors and ornaments and lights and tinsel. Sasori always lets him have his way because of how cute he looks when he’s excited.

❄️ They don’t really buy presents for each other, but they spend a lot of time picking out gifts for the others in the Akatsuki. Their “gift” for each other is planning a nice vacation to take together after the holidays.

❄️ Sasori doesn’t like Christmas decorations going up until December 1st at the earliest. Deidara starts sneaking things out of storage the day after Halloween.

❄️ Deidara starts a “tradition” where from Dec 1 to Dec 25 he and Sasori watch one Christmas movie a night. During this time they’re not allowed to check their phones or work on their hobbies or do anything at all other than spend time together. At first Sasori didn’t like this but he eventually grew into it when he saw how excited Dei would get each night when it was time for the movie to start. 

❄️ Sasori makes absolutely delicious Christmas cookies. He gets many special requests from other people to bake them for parties and get-togethers. He can’t eat but he remembers baking with his mother during the holiday season, and he has Dei there to taste-test all of his creations. His specialty are gingerbread men dressed up/made to look almost like carbon-copies of the person he’s making them for.

❄️ Sasori’s favorite thing in the world is to sit in a room that’s totally dark except for the lights of the tree, with Deidara’s head in his lap, as the two quietly tell each other about their days.

❄️ Deidara’s mother would make what she called a Christmas Scrapbook every year. It would start on December 1st and end on December 25th. In it would be pictures of the two of them together, and the different fun things they would do that month. Deidara’s mother died when he was around 12, and the scrapbooks stopped. He told Sasori about it when they had been dating for about 3 years, and thought nothing more about it. Then on Christmas of that year Deidara found himself unwrapping a beautifully put together scrapbook of the two of them together, and all the things they did that month. On the very last page Sasori taped a Diamond ring and wrote “To Be Continued?” underneath. Deidara sobbed. They got married 5 months later, a week after Deidara’s birthday.

❄️ Sasori absolutely loves wrapping presents. He likes making the packages look perfect and uniformed, and adding ribbons and bows to everything when he gets a chance. Deidara hates wrapping gifts; he’s all thumbs and most of the time more tape gets stuck to him than the wrapping paper. So he’ll usually convince Sasori to wrap up his gifts for him.

❄️ Both of them like Christmas music when they’re listening at home or in the car, but for some reason their love turns to hate when they hear it played in public places. If they’re in a store where that music is playing, they’ll purposely (and obnoxiously) talk so loudly that it drowns the tunes out. Or Deidara will change the lyrics of the songs to be “funny” aka inappropriate. They’ve been asked to leave several places due to this behavior. It becomes a bit of a competition with them, to see how many stores they can be kicked out of before December 25th rolls around.

❄️ The day before Christmas Eve is spent visiting/exchanging gifts with Sasori’s grandmother. She almost always knits them sweaters. Sasori hides his in the back of his closet but Deidara loves his, often wearing them until they fall off his body. 

❄️ Christmas Eve is spent with the other members of the Akatsuki. They exchange gifts with each other and they also do a Secret Santa on top of that, but the gift they get for the person they draw is supposed to be silly/funny. Sasori will give gifts according to each person’s tastes, but Deidara will give sculptures. Every time. Whether they explode or not depends on whether Deidara feels the person has been Naughty or Nice that year.

❄️ Christmas Day is just the two of them. They watch movies and Sasori makes Dei a lovely Christmas dinner. That he eats WAY too much of, and usually ends up with a stomachache. Deidara is a bit like a dog when it comes to food; he has a complete lack of self-control. If you put a whole turkey in front of him, forget taking a few slices, he will attempt to eat the. whole. turkey.

❄️When they have kids, Elf on the Shelf becomes like an Olympic event for the two of them. They take turns each night competing to see who can have the elf in funnier poses. Sasori’s best was filling the sink full of cereal, placing the elf sitting over the sink next to a jug of milk, holding a large spoon and a note that said “Sorry, I couldn’t find a big enough bowl!” Deidara’s best was the elf sitting on the kitchen counter next to a can of ginger surrounded by slices of bread, with a note that read “Surprise! I made you a gingerbread house!” Their kids love this tradition and can’t wait to wake up each day to see what the elf has done.

To My Dearest Love~ Yves Kloss x Reader

Over halfway through the challenge, thank you @aquagirl1978 and @violettduchess for hosting!

My dearest love,

I saw the first bloom this morning as I was looking out to the gardens. The sunlight was just peeking over the horizon, you would have told me how much the golden hue of the sky reminded you of my hair. I wish you could have been there with me. It means nothing, I know it means nothing and yet I still feel compelled to write this postcard. I know you’ll never read it. I don’t even know why I’m doing this. But for whatever reason it makes it seem less lonely.

Forever Yours,

Yves Kloss

July 10th

My dearest love,

I accompanied Nokto on a business venture in Benitoite and I needed to tell you about it. The coast is so lovely. Not nearly as lovely as you, of course, but I can imagine the sparkle in your eye that you would have, taking in the sandy shore and ultramarine waters. It makes my heart ache to know that we will never get a chance to experience this together. I must admit, I was hoping that by now the pain would have eased a bit. Yet, it seems to continue to reawaken, ebbing and flowing like the tides. You would have wanted to feel the water, to walk along the beach. That is precisely why I couldn’t. I did try, but my breath would catch each time and I just… I just couldn’t. Anyways, enough dire talk. I do miss you and I know you would have loved to visit Benitoite.

Forever Yours,

Yves Kloss

August 21st

My dearest love,

I visited the Jadean capital and had tea with Prince Keith. It was pleasant, the air was warm and the scent of flowers filled the air. It smelled like you. That night, I had a dream that everything had gone back to how it was. It felt so real. I could feel the warmth of your body as we held each other. Waking up was such a difficult thing to accept. I longed to spend even another minute in that dream with you. That’s all I have left. Memories and dreams. I return to Rhodolite castle tomorrow. I almost dread returning to those familiar halls knowing I’ll never again see you running down them to greet me. My, I really have let my dour mood influence this card. I love you, I will love you until the end of time.

Forever Yours,

Yves Kloss

September 17th

My dearest love,

The summer has come to an end. Yesterday my brothers forced a surprise party on me. I had no intention of celebrating my birthday. Without you, I can’t seem to find anything to celebrate anymore. If only birthday wishes could come true. I’d wish for you to be back in my arms. I’d wish to see the smile on your face that greeted me each morning. This will be the last postcard I send. My brothers are concerned with me continuing to write to you as though you’re still here, so it’s time I move forward. I know this, yet it is still so painful to say goodbye. My heart will always belong to you. I will never know a more wonderful person; none could possibly compete. Know that my love for you will remain eternal. You have me, all of me, forever. You are always on my mind. We shall meet again someday, I promise.

Until I find you again,

Yves Kloss

Akatsuki swallowed thickly as he crouched over the tombstone, placing the stack of postcards in a small divot he had dug along the side.

“It’s good to know that you were so loved.” He murmured, scooping the displaced dirt over your lover’s words. “I don’t think that boy realized that I would read the postcards he had sent to the bookstore, but he clearly thought the world of you. I’m glad you were able to experience such a deep love during your time on this Earth.”

Rising to his feet, he gave one final statement, “Rest well, dear one.”

My Special Gift

-`♡´- Kagami Sakishima x (Fem) Reader -`♡´-

Note: Just a little something for this underrated charming man since there are literally no fanfics of him!!! (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)

♡ dividers by : @saradika-graphics ♡

Kagami urged his friends not to do anything special for him, whipping up a big party and other birthday related things. He even told you too, you wanted to do something for your amazing boyfriend. To bring a smile on his face. Things have been intensely rough in Akatsuki, with all those Dusk soldiers coming out from the shadows and bringing in illegal weapons. Kagami hasn’t been feeling like himself, even his very best friend Eiji seems to notice it. You grew more concerned wondering what’s been bugging him lately, you spoke to Eiji and Kazuma about it. Yamato and Minato. They can’t seem to figure it out. You asked Kagami what’s on his mind, kept telling you that it’s nothing serious, that everything is fine.

Your boyfriend seemed way out of it, this was causing you to worry more about him and so to cheer him up; you decided to throw a birthday party. Eiji and the others lend you a hand, they don’t wish to stand by and let you do all the work yourself. 

The decorations, the cake, everything all sorted out. You signaled Eiji to switch off the lights in the room as you wait for Kagami to return to the Titan Cafe. As the entrance door hit the golden bell as Kagami returned, Yamato rushed to turn the lights back on as all shouted a big happy birthday to Kagami. 

You joyfully went up to him and pressed down your lips at the corners of his adorable face that popped out an emotion of surprise, “Happy Birthday, sweetie!” Kagami sighed, his smile cracking up. He lifted your chin to kiss you back, “Darling, you know you didn’t have to do this.” 

“You’ve been feeling quite down lately, so I hope all this cheers you up..” you hoped this very special day would restore his happiness once again. Kagami snaked his arms around your waist, your body crashing towards his, “It does, it really does. You know I love you very much, right?”

“I love you too.” You leaned in to peck a kiss on his lips until Eiji pulled you two apart, “Alright, you two, save your kisses for later. Right now, let’s have some cake.” You chuckled, realizing you were getting too into it. You grabbed your boyfriend’s hand, pulling him towards the delightful white creamed cake with all the mix-coloured candles that had already been lit. you mouthed out ‘make your wish’ to Kagami, he shone a smile across his face and blew out the candles, the loud cheer from his girlfriend and his friends bloomed into the room. Kagami kindly sliced a cake for you and others, all dug it and ate their piece out of joy. 

The day after his birthday, you headed out to find Kagami wondering where he went off to. You looked through the park to see if he was there or not. Your heart eased when you spotted Kagami on the bench sitting alone. You calmly walked up to sit with him, “Hello there, love.” he turned to your attention when you greeted him, Kagami inched his hand close to hold yours. His balmy gaze deeply locked onto you, “Hey.” 

“Are you doing alright?” 

“I’m fine, sweetie.” 

“Are you sure? You can tell if something is truly troubling you..” 

Kagami gave a long depressing sigh, “It’s just that…I couldn’t stop thinking about what I did to my best friend Eiji, the day I shot him with that magic bullet I’ve created…I thought I was doing the right thing but…” he took a pause, reflecting on the mistake that he did so long ago. A lot of things had happened in Akatsuki ever since Eiji passed on his Cerberus tattoo to Yamato. It was a lot to take in after that incident. You remembered Kagami blaming himself a lot. It hurt you so much to see him that way, you always tried to comfort him for it. 

You leaned onto his shoulder, your cheek pressing against it, “I know you never truly meant to hurt your best friend, you were only trying to help. Even when I tried to stop you, when I was against it…” recalling the day where you had a little argument with Kagami about the magic bullet and everything. “And yet you don’t hate me for what I did?” you shook your head to that ridiculous reason and cupped his face, looking at him directly, “Kagami, sweetie, I could never  hate you for it. I know what you did was wrong but…” you lifted your hand, caressing his cheek tenderly with your thumb, “Never in my life could I ever hate you for it…” 

Kagami crashed his head against yours, foreheads pressing onto each other romantically, “I really can’t believe you’re my girlfriend.” his eyes flickering with a colour of bliss. “And I truly can’t believe you’re the love of my life.” 

“You know…” Kagami held you in his arms as he smiled charmingly at you, “You got me so many presents yesterday which you really didn’t have to. Eiji told me that you’re slowly coming back to your bad spending habit.” he spoke with a chuckle. “He did? That cheeky bastard..” 

“Honestly, (Y/n)...you’re my gift. My very special gift. Spending a lot of time with you was the best present I could ever ask for. I want nothing more for my birthday besides my time with you but I still love all the things you got me.” 

You quickly pecked a kiss on his cheek, smiling warmly how his touching words melted your heart, “You have no idea how much that means to me, Kagami.” 

a/n - I wish this lovely man a very lovely happy birthday, he deserves a load of love and appreciation. I'm very glad that Eiji got such an amazing friend like him! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAGAMI! YOU INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING! ❤︎ (╥ ω ╥)

Happy Birthday, Shikamaru

Happy Birthday, Shikamaru

RiverOfTheSand

Summary:

One-shot ShikaTema. It's Shikamaru's 17th birthday and his mother is organising a "bothersome" party for him. Meanwhile, Temari has decided it's about time they took their relationship to the next level. Rated M for a reason!

Notes:

Cross-posted from fanfiction.net. One-shot ShikaTema lemon. This was initially written out of a top tier reverance for Shikamaru (and Temari but mostly him). Please read, love, and review!   [*] Nijū Shōtai – for those who don't know, or just don't remember, this is the name given to the squad consisting of Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki whose objective was to track down and eliminate any and all members of Akatsuki, when they encountered Hidan, and Kakuzu. Rated M. I hope you all enjoy. :)

"The guests will be arriving soon!" Shikamaru Nara's mother said annoyingly.

Yoshino was a nagging woman, who bothered him from the moment he woke up to the blessed moment his head hit his pillow at night. He had not inherited anything from her, not her light brown hair, her brusque manner, or her fuss over what he was going to wear to his own birthday party. Really, turning seventeen was turning into such a drag.

"So troublesome," he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head and letting loose with one of his half-hearted yawns. He was the only guy he knew that was too lazy even to yawn properly.

Shikamaru's hair was semi-long, jet black and tied back into a spiky ponytail; his eyes narrow and grey. He looked and acted more like his father, Skikaku Nara. Not that Shikamaru would ever bother to note the similarities out loud, especially when they were so obvious and didn't need to be stated. He really hated it when people felt like they needed to comment on everything. He knew he had to get out of this chair soon. He knew there was no way he would ever beat his father at shogi. He knew that if he just stared into space his mother would notice and scold him. And he knew that no matter what he did, she would scold him anyway.

"What did you just mumble?" Yoshino asked, glaring at him for a moment and moving away when he just shrugged his shoulders. "You have to stand up sometime. There's no point in putting it off any longer. How will you ever get anything done just sitting there?"

She carried on for awhile longer before leaving the kitchen of their average home and wearing a frustrated look on his face, Shikamaru groaned and turned around to notice he couldn't see the sky through the high window. This irritated him. So, thinking about the chores his mother wanted him to do, he stood, left the house, and started to walk toward his favourite spot. Thinking about the chores wasn't going to get them finished, as his mother always said.

Choji Akimichi, his best friend, knew him well enough to beat him to the roof of the building where they both often spent time on cloud watching. He was eating his favourite flavoured chips and had been waiting only five minutes before Shikamaru turned up. The smell of barbeque was not enough to make Shikamaru hungry though.

"Hey Shikamaru," Choji said jovially. "Not getting ready for your party?"

Shikamaru groaned, plopping down onto his favourite spot and laying back to get down to business. He considered cloud watching to be one of the most important activities of his day and only didn't do it when he left the village on missions. There was no time to stare at the sky when dodging kunai or breaking through jutsu based defences. Still, sometimes he found his eyes drift skyward, despite this.

Choji knew that Yoshino Nara was the one organising her son's party, so Shikamaru didn't bother to correct him on his comment. He was clearly just teasing him, after all.

Choji chuckled. "You know, if you leave everything to your mother to organise she's going to have us playing pin the tail on the Akatsuki."

He was trying to lighten the mood because he knew that something was bothering Shikamaru more than usual. He was pretty sure the problem was Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the third Hokage who had been gone for well over a year now. He had died attempting to take out the Akatsuki member Hidan and failed when Kakuzu joined the fight. From Choji's reference to the Akatsuki, Shikamaru guessed he knew. The lazy cloud watcher sighed deeply, keeping his eyes on a particularly large cloud right above his head.

"Kurenai-san told me last night that Asuma had had something made shortly before Nijū Shōtai [*] was formed and wanted me to have it on my seventeenth birthday. She's bringing it around tonight."

"Any ideas what it is?"

Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders. He honestly couldn't even guess.

"I'm thinking of giving it all a miss," Shikamaru said, but he didn't really mean it. "I'd rather be asleep anyway."

Choji frowned. He bit his bottom lip gently. "You have to come. I'm not giving you my present if you don't."

Shikamaru raised his eyebrows at him. His friend was up to something. He was sure of it.

"Why not?"

Choji smiled. "You'll see. Trust me."

X X X

Shikamaru thought he had avoided the necessity for earmuffs when his next door neighbours had stopped yelling, cussing, and throwing kitchenware at each other at three o'clock in the morning. It was just a dream however; a beautiful, unfulfilled dream that could never come true as long as Naruto Uzumaki was around. The blonde knucklehead bounded into the training hall with an irrepressible grin on his face (the training hall was the only place Shikamaru's mother could find to house everyone who wanted to attend and not have to resort to making everyone stand around).

There were some absent faces, due to ongoing missions of course, but for the most part, all of Shikamaru's friends and colleagues were here. He smiled at that, glad at least that his mother's party fervour hadn't scared anyone away. Still, dealing with overzealous gift bearers and everyone congratulating him was a pain.

Kurenai Yuhi had just arrived when Rock Lee literally jumped Shikamaru in one of his "youthful exploits", congratulating him with far more enthusiasm than necessary. He was just glad he had showered before coming, considering the last time Shikamaru had run into him he had just finished training and was trying to out-hug Guy in one of their contests, since Kakashi Hatake was getting too busy to keep up with their contests. Gai Maito, better known as Might Guy, was behind by one point and was eager to catch up and pass his eternal rival.

Shikamaru indicated to the table of presents where his mother had set it up like he was still five years old.

"Ah, you are right," Lee said abashedly, "you must open the presents in the order they were given to you. It is only fair after all."

As the night wore on, the festivities kicked up a notch. The sun setting was a pain, because all Shikamaru wanted to do was head home and lay his head back down. The energy of his guests was tiring him out. Just watching Naruto was enough to make Shikamaru yawn; he was attempting to get Sakura onto the dance floor while she clenched her fists, refraining from causing a scene. But Shikamaru didn't care. It may have been his birthday, but this celebration was really for all of them. Things had been so tense lately, and now with everything Akatsuki looming on the horizon and threatening the fourth Shinobi war, everybody needed some down time.

When it came to receiving his presents, Shikamaru groaned. He would have preferred to have unwrapped each one once everyone had gone home, as was the ancient tradition before Konoha was first founded. He was overwhelmed and didn't quite know what to say when Kurenai gave him the present that Asuma Sarutobi had had made for him. The day he'd made Chunin, his Sensei had told him that the Tantō on the traditional uniform dated back to the days when the village was first founded. So his present this time was really no surprise.

'I should've known.'

He unsheathed his new Tantō, studying the red and black inlay of the scabbard, before his eyes drifted to the dagger itself. This appeared to be a special order Tantō, the grip and hand guard burgundy in colour; the stiff-blade made of the same special metal that had been used to make Asuma's Chakra Enhanced Trench Knives. The grip had a bone white kanji engraved on it that meant "fire" (火), reminding Shikamaru of the red one on the Twelve Guardian Ninja sash that Asuma had owned.

Kurenai smiled sadly at the look on his face, knowing he was fighting the tears.

"It's beautiful," she said.

Shikamaru nodded silently, unable to find the words to express how he was feeling. Once the attention from the gift giving was off of him, the cloud watcher leant against a wall, just admiring the Tantō, not paying attention to what was going on around him. The celebration continued on without him and he mused silently that there was one more thing that would make this night perfect. But it was impossible: that troublesome woman wasn't even in the village. Temari Sabaku was never far from his thoughts these days, especially once Asuma died and he realised the frailty of life, not wanting to waste a single moment.

He sighed deeply, and looked up as Choji approached him. His best friend smirked.

"There's someone here to see you."

Shikamaru stood up straight at the sight of the Kunoichi. She was dressed smartly, in a dark purple kimono with dark blue accessories. Her headband was around her neck and her blonde hair was back in two pigtails instead of the usual four. A slight flush of her skin made her glow softly under the illumination of the training hall.

"Temari-chan," Shikamaru said.

Choji raised his eyebrows at him, surprised, but realised a moment later he shouldn't be.

Temari giggled. "Hello Shikamaru-kun, happy birthday."

She walked up to him and he stood perfectly still as she pecked his cheek.

Shikamaru swallowed heavily. "I'm glad you could make it."

"Of course I came," she said, smiling at him. "I wouldn't miss this for the world."

Next to him, his best friend didn't bother hiding the cheek in his voice. "Well, now that the party is in full swing, maybe you could give him his present, in private."

X X X

They left the celebrations unnoticed by anyone but Choji, but Shikamaru trusted his friend would cover for them as long as was humanly possible. He had finally worked up the courage a week ago to invite Temari over to Konoha for his birthday and gotten a response from her brother, the Kazekage, that she was going to still be on a mission to the land of earth when the 22nd of September rolled by.

The cloud watcher was understandably disappointed and had not seen this coming.

"It was Choji's idea," Temari told him cheekily. "He said you were getting harder and harder to surprise lately, and he wanted to at least surprise you on your birthday."

"So Gaara was in on it too?"

She nodded, giggling softly. "Well, I figured it would be easier to startle you if you thought I was actually on a mission. And it worked: you should've seen your face!"

He nodded, sighing deeply. "You got me."

Temari stopped walking. They had been heading to nowhere in particular and now bathed in the semi-darkness of a night time Konoha. The air was cool but bearable, as both ninja were used to being out in most kinds of weather. It came hand in hand with travelling to foreign lands – those nights spent in tents or forced to sleep in uncomfortable places, depending on the mission.

The blonde Kunoichi was glad the dark haired Shinobi had sprouted from the first time they'd met. Back when they'd both entered the Chunin exams for the first time, he was shorter than her (hardly surprising considering the age gap), but now he was taller, albeit only by about five centimetres. It made her feel better as she lifted her eyes slightly to look into his.

"You're seventeen now," she said seriously, "and I've been wanting to come back to Konoha on your birthday for almost a year now. Do you understand?"

He nodded his head. He understood perfectly well. Temari snaked a hand up and around his neck to pull him into a deep, but gentle kiss. He held her waist and let her press their bodies together. They had both been very patient over the years, flirting with each other and making fun of each other, but painfully aware of the jest of providence that their ages were not closer together.

But now, according to ninja law, he was of age and there was nothing standing in their way anymore. The age requirement was actually sixteen, but that was for the male population. Shikamaru could not have been with Temari until now because the laws of Konoha were slightly different to Suna. But it was a moot point now.

He was enjoying the feel of her breasts against his chest as his tongue played with hers. She made a deep sound of contentment before reluctantly pulling away.

"Not here," she said breathlessly. "I've been put up in an apartment for the night. Come on."

They clasped their hands together and walked toward their goal. Temari was in a hurry to get there but he was the slow kind, just not reflected in his mentality. She smiled at this. But eventually they made it the apartment and slipped into the room with the least fuss possible. She didn't give him a chance to acclimatise as the light flickered on, half-blinding him – they had just walked here in near darkness after all.

Temari pulled him closer again, refraining from coming across as eager as she was feeling. It wasn't just Shikamaru's instinct to take things very slow, but her own desire to do this thing right. They kicked off their sandals and found the bed easily enough. She pulled off her hitai-ate, which she had only worn because she was still visiting Konoha in an "official" capacity as a result of still being the official Suna Representative. She had volunteered for that position years ago because of this observant, cloud watcher.

Shikamaru ran his hands down over her kimono, undoing the fastenings with care, as though she was made of crystal. They were still kissing, tasting each other as they moved onto the bed. But he broke the kiss to undress her, picking up the pace slightly to get this part over with. She helped him lift his dress shirt off of him, and pulled away from him, naked, as he undid the last of his uniform. His mother had made him wear it for the party, like some nagging dictator.

Shikamaru couldn't help the smirk that crept onto his face at the sight of the blonde Kunoichi's body lying back on top of the covers.

"Come on Shikamaru," she teased, lifting her finger to motion to him.

He climbed on top of her, returning to kissing her. But this time, when he pressed their bodies together, a delightful tremble ran through his body as skin touched skin. He was so excited by the feel of her and she realised this a moment later, when he started to swell against her. She smiled into his mouth, and he moved his lips off of hers, travelling to her throat, and moving ever so slowly toward her breasts. The sensations were driving her crazy. Every inch of her was on fire under his ministrations.

He trailed a hand down her bare skin as his lips found her right nipple, making goose bumps appear at the slight touch of his fingers. The warmth of his breath making her sigh in the moments before he started to kiss her softly. Shikamaru smiled slightly, as though his wicked plan was reaching fruition. He shifted, his hand following her stomach, trailing southward, to her waiting, wet slit.

Temari groaned at the minute touch. He was teasing her. He had never had sex, but he had figured out how to please a woman. He was more of a genius than she would've thought possible. Or that she could ever have hoped for. She loved the fact that he was taking his time, touching her in just the right way, fingering her with exactly the right amount of pressure. Once she had come twice, he moved away from her breasts, lowering himself to play with her slit, tantalising her with his tongue. He made her come again and rose to his knees.

Temari held him in her hands, rubbing him until he was full. The slow ministrations so far had gotten him part way, and he was quite content to worry about her arousal before his own. She had heard that despite their frustration, Nara men held women in high esteem. They certainly seemed to latch onto strong, sometimes overbearing women, despite their complaints about this personality trait.

Temari stared into his eyes as Shikamaru lowered his mouth to hers once again. She had waited so long for this, for when Shikamaru was ready, and the age difference was a bigger issue considering he was still a teenager, and she had turned twenty a month ago. He knew she had been waiting for him, and that this was what they both wanted. It made her feeling so wet, just thinking about how easily he turned her on.

Shikamaru broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. He didn't look nervous, but then, he rarely ever did. He felt a flutter that was making him smirk softly, but was in complete control of his faculties. But if what he had heard was true, that was about to change, drastically. Was it weird that he was not worried about this?

"Temari," he said softly. "Thank you."

She smiled. "For waiting for you?"

He nodded and she shifted as he slid between her legs. Her hips lifted to meet them instinctively and she felt herself tighten around his shaft as he pushed gently past the barrier that marked her innocence. It hurt slightly, but she was so relaxed, so wet that the pain was only momentary. She held onto him, not worried about anything but the thrusts as he moved slowly to allow her to adjust to the sensation and his size. It had been said by others that she was a buxom woman, but Shikamaru's "endowment" took centre stage for her now.

He bit his bottom lip for a moment before deciding to kiss her again. Really, just the feel of her tongue pushing into his mouth made him twitch and push his member into her, deeper. She writhed underneath him, moving her head back to break the kiss. The sound she emitted drove him on even more. He normally took his time with everything he did, but his instincts took over, and at the sound of her gasping he picked up the pace. She seemed to appreciate this, rocking her hips in time with his, vocalising her appreciation.

He licked her nipples, suckling on her as he pushed into her, and finally, once they'd come together, he let himself go. He rested his head on her shoulder, not wanting to move from inside her as he panted.

Temari whispered hoarsely in his ear, her breath exciting him further. "Happy birthday Shikamaru."

Itachi x reader

~party~ summary: it’s your birthday and itachi just wants to do something special for you. but he doesn’t have any ideas so he ends up asking your best friend…

A/n: some cursing, also itachi is obviously aged down a bit to fit readers age. btw Konan is gonna be a bit ooc in this

”are you doing anything for your birthday y/n? cus if not maybe you and me, itachi, and some of our other friends could hang out!” your best friend konan suggests. “well I dunno… I thought maybe itachi was going to plan something nice for me but he hasn’t said anything yet.” you say sadly

“come on I’m sure he’ll do something romantic” she wiggles her eyebrows at you. “girl, don’t pull shit like that I know yahiko’s a simp for you” you laugh

“yeah, yeah” you and Konan hop up from the stone ledge near the river and start walking home.

“my birthday is in 3 days. don’t you think he would’ve said something?”

“I told you already! I’m sure you’ll be fine y/n.” I smiled at you

“aight well then I’ll see you at training tomorrow bbg” you wink at her. It was always a joke that you both ‘flirted’ with each other.

“back atcha” she does those cringy ass finger gun things and with that she shuts her door.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Itachi hesitated as he held up his fist to konan’s door. he finally knocked and braced himself for the usual stone face expression.

“hello?l she asked in confusion as she opened the door.

“hey, i uh wanted to ask you something.” Itachi scratches the back of his neck.

“oh sure. well let’s make it quick. I was working on something earlier.”

“yeah but can I come in here? I just don’t want anyone else to hear.” Itachi whispers.

“alright come on in.” little did they know that you were watching the whole interaction from afar with wide eyes.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “hi baby how was your day?” Itachi walks up to you.

“eh” you reply dryly

“do anything fun?” “not really”

“are you ok?” Itachi’s voice was laced with concern. this was weird to him. Usually you were talkative or even all over him especially if you hadn’t seen him all day. something was up.

”nah I’m just tired. I’ll probably go to bed soon.” just like that you disappeared into your room for the night. Itachi sighed and got up. he figured he should rest up because he had a lot of things to get done tomorrow. like prepare for your surprise birthday party.

Itachi awoke the next morning feeling energized and ready to plan your party. He had went to Konan’s room last night to ask her about things you like so he could make your party extra special. since you were both part of the akastuki you could never really do anything fun like this so he thought it would be nice.

He took off his akatsuki cloak and put on regular ninja clothes to go into town to pick out a cake, decorations, and your present.

after he got all of that take care of, the uchiha talked to the rest of the akatsuki members. (they were all your friends since you obviously lived together) and told them about your surprise party. you were training with Konan at the time as you’d promised yesterday. when the day was over itachi went to your room to hopefully cuddle tonight. You guys did have your own rooms but you’d mostly sleep in each other’s rooms so you could cuddle. “Did you have good training time today y/n?” He asks

“yeah” you were again being very dry and you overall just seemed annoyed to him. what did I do? He thought to himself. “well… since we haven’t in awhile maybe we could cuddle in here tonight?” “I’m kind of sick so maybe not.” You never once looked at him the whole conversation. You were getting changed and didn’t blink an eye the poor uchiha.

“oh, alright. goodnight then baby” he pressed a kiss to your temple and walked away. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• it was officially the day of your party (aka your birthday) and itachi wasn’t sure how it’d play out. After all, you’d been ignoring him for days. “deidara, pull this up!” Sasori yelled to the blonde. “what’s this?” He asked.

“they’re just streamers now come on i can’t stand here forever!” meanwhile hidan and Kakuzu set the table. Everyone had a job to make your party perfect. “alright everyone we have-“ Joann checked her watch- “6 minutes left!” Itachi left Konan in charge while he distracted you. “Y/n can i show you something?” Itachi asked you.

“what do you want?” You reply snarkily.

“wow, what’s going on? The past few days you’ve been mad at me for no reason.” Itachi says carefully, as to not poke the bear.

“‘wow what’s goin on?’ You know damn well what’s going on itachi!” His face went pale right then. How could you know about the party? And why were you upset about it? Did you not like surprises? Did you- “well? Are you just gonna stand there or what?” You put your hands on your hips. “y/n, i didn’t know you didn’t like surprises i-“

“surprises? Oh yeah you cheating on me with my best friend was definitely a surprise!”

At this point you didn’t realize everyone was standing fr in your doorway until Konan Said

“what?” “you know damn well what I’m talking about!” She grabbed your shoulders and pulled you to see all of the decorations.

“surprise?” she and a few others said weakly. “oh my goodness” you cover your mouth with your hands and look at itachi

“I never… I didn’t- why? how?” “I don’t know where you were going with itachi cheating and everything but the only reason you might’ve seen him come to my room was so I could help him plan all this.” Konan explained.

“I am so so sorry!” You started sobbing until you felt a warm hand pull you into their chest.

“shh, it’s ok. I know it might’ve seemed sketchy that I was hiding things from you. But I love you so much and you deserved this special party.” “oh, ‘tachi will you ever forgive me?” You ask quietly

“y/n.. it’s ok, really.” He chuckled. “oh, itachi don’t you wanna..” konan trails off. “Oh, right!” He ran over to his room to pull out a.. blanket? No. A ball of fur? A puppy! “OH MY GOSH!” You run over to him.

“you really shouldn’t have!” Itachi smiles again.

“well I know you’ve wanted one forever. And you could let him roam around if you want. He’d be kind of like all of ours pet in a way.” You kiss itachi. For the first time in awhile.

later that night you and itachi were cuddled up in his nice warm bed with your new puppy, aika, laying in sulfur lap. “Hope you had a have decent birthday”

“it wasn’t half decent. It was the best.”

[zealctry]

throws him a birthday party in the akatsuki hideout, somehow manages to drag everyone there and trick hidan to not suspect anything when she guides him in there. the others refused to hide, obviously. these people don't have the singlest idea about a surprise!! so she does the shouting for them. "Happy birthday, Hidan! I didn't know how old you were so I had to guess." the huge banner painted by deidara himself reads 'happy fiftiest, welcome to the b side!'

//I'll put this here now bc I'll forget by tomorrow

you know what? he should be offended. he really SHOULD be, because there’s a fuckton of things wrong with this picture. and if Ino isn’t careful, she might just have a dangerous, close-quarters encounter with a kunai. between her ribs. that might twist in, just so.

but then again. . . .. . there ! is ! cake ! ( ah, the curse of having choices!) well. you know what?? screw all of you assholes! he’s not putting up with this shit! not TODAY!

thus, Hidan will speedwalk to the cake, pick it up, and promptly speedwalk OUTof that hellhole of insanity, to eat HIS cake. outside. alone! IN PEACE AND TRANQUILITY!! ( fuck. he’s starting to sound like Kakuzu. is this what aging is like?? ) he’s EARNED THIS (somehow).

[lilacsociety]

full disclosure I’m only up to the point in the boruto anime where boruto starts learning rasengan (I skipped the insane number of filler eps prior to this)

and lemme just say, while im absolutely not an ss or nh shipper, im definitely on boruto and sarada’s sides here — having parents who communicate so ineffectively and barely pay attention to you would piss me off too LMAO

the shenanigans of sasuke being gone for a crazy amount of time (even tho he can literally teleport), sakura destroying her own house because her daughter dared to ask her about her absent father, naruto sending a clone to himawari’s birthday party, and hinata basically having as much parental input as an NPC when her son is justifiably upset? don’t even get me started on the Karin mom fake-out that plotline was so fucking stupid — like imagine your entire plotline hinges on the fact that sakura happened to keep and frame a photo of her husband while he was in a terrorist organization! Were there no wedding photos they had together? Who took a pic of taka while sasuke was in full post-itachi battle akatsuki garb? Why didn’t sakura cut off the portions of the photo that didn’t include her husband? WHY A PICTURE OF HIM FROM THE AKATSUKI??? I know this is all to set up sarada’s inner conflict, but you’d think having horrible parents would do the job just fine

This is all so goofy lmao I know I’m late to the party and while I did know bits and pieces, I didn’t know it was this fucking stupid

[ironicvixen]

Okay, but whether it's someone's birthday party from Akatsuki or just, some poor random farmer will suddenly have like 7 S-rank missing ninjas at his 53rd birthday party.

plasticity omake idea: tori throws herself a birthday party, but instead of going about it in even a slightly normal way, she tells a series of lies and manipulations to get everyone to show up at the same place. some people had fetch quests they didn't know about to get food and alcohol. it's not even her birthday
