Happy Birthday Ino 2024 [from Shikamaru & Choji]

cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi “Happy Birthday Ino, morning Shikamaru!” Choji greeted his friends as they walked out of Shikamaru’s place. “I am here to tell you today’s schedule, ahem. Ino you have plans with the girls today, we’re all meeting up for BBQ for lunch, and later, there’s something special planned for you tonight!”

[[//Unprompted Asks: Ino’s birthday~]]-

"Morning Choji!" The blonde greeted warmly, pulling him into a hug. "And thank you." She'd spent the first half of the morning with Shikamaru, and now that they were out, and Choji came around, she probably should have expected some plans to be made for her special day. "I see you've got my birthday all planned out for me," Ino teased playfully. Honestly, she really didn't mind. She had been meaning to spend some more time with the girls, so that worked out perfectly. Still, Ino was rather curious about what was happening later on. "Oooh, a surprise, huh? Well, I'll be sure to look forward to it."

Though Ino was intrigued by the thought, she could wait until the night rolled around.

"But going back to the first thing. Where am I meeting up with the girls?"

-

It was Ino's first birthday since they started dating, and it was an easy transition since she stayed at his place the night before because of his own birthday. Shikamaru also got Choji involved in case he got sloppy, but pretty much it was Shikamaru heading the day's plans like it was a mission.

"Yes, as you deserve, Ino!" Choji replied happily, just as long as they kept Ino on the right track according to plan. "Oh right, the girls are meeting you at the flower shop! They also said they'd get the guys to kidnap Shikamaru if-"

"Ahem, shall we get going then?" Shikamaru cleared his throat as he grabbed Ino's hand so they could walk ahead, Ino did not have to know the details of their backup plans. Soon they led Ino towards where she worked, and when the girls spent their time with her, it allowed the guys to help Shikamaru for his plan for tonight.

// Kiss Dared [ShkaIno] - Part 2

Shikamaru did his best not to respond to Ino as she called after him, he'd explain to her later once this was all over. Soon he bumped into Choji who gave him a decoy packet of chips, just like they had planned. "Thanks, I owe you one, Choji."

"You know what you're going to tell Ino though? She seems pretty mad," Choji replied, looking at Ino who was catching up with them. Well sticking with the plan, he went off to do more grocery shopping.

"Sorry, Ino," Shikamaru started to apologise, wondering if it would dig his hole further if he told Ino the truth, that it was part of a dare. "Choji really wanted these limited edition chips haha."

@cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi // Continued from [X]

Ino had barely finished up her latest shift at the flower shop before she'd even noticed Shikamaru approach. Normally there wouldn't have been any issues with bumping into each other, considering they've been in each other's lives for as long as they've been, but this? This wasn't normal. He kissed her... near her ear. And then he ran away? He. Ran. Away?

"Shikamaru! What the hell was that? If you're gonna kiss me, at least do it right, you coward!" Ino called out after him, obviously irritated. Who did he think he was? A measly kiss near her ear? Did he NOT know she had wanted more than that? That she deserved more? Nope. He wasn't going to get away with it. For now, she'd allow him a little head start, but oh... when she caught him, she'd show him exactly how he was supposed to do it!

Attractive Sihka [Choji & Ino]

// with @themindfulcosmos​

cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi asked: 👄 + Shikamaru

‘👄 + character name’ and my muse will say if they find them attractive.

themindfulcosmos answered

"Of course. Shika has always been pleasing to the eyes~ He makes it quite difficult to look away sometimes."

“Yeah, I’ve noticed, Ino. Well that you’ve noticed,” Choji replied in agreement. Hopefully Ino didn’t notice him taking and eating all the meat whenever she was too distracted staring at Shikamaru during their BBQ gatherings.

The Best Friend [Choji & Ino]

@themindfulcosmos​ asked // yesterday, May 18

“You’re my best friend and I love you.” [For Choji]

A list of sentence starters for those cute and fluffy moments, platonic edition.

“Aw, thanks Ino! You’re my best friend and I love you too!” Choji replied with a grin, especially since she was treating him to BBQ again. “Now tell that to Shikamaru, and make sure he knows you want to be much more than that!”

Ino had been such a huge support and advocate for him, she really helped build his confidence over the years. So it was amusing Ino lacked that only when it came to Shikamaru, who was hard to read as ever. “You just need to be honest and direct with him first, I think you’ll be waiting a long time if you want him to make the first move, Ino.” To him Shikamaru was not being dense but maybe respected Ino so much that he ended up friendzoning himself. 

// welp might as well turn that script into a headcanon, lmao

(cc) Naruto: -finishing up his rice bowl while on his date with Ino, there’s one grain left and he’s about to slide it into his mouth-

(cc) Choji: Mine! -grabs it with chopsticks then eats it-

(cc) Naruto: Oh come on, it’s just one grain of rice Choji!

(cc) Choji: Rice is still food, Naruto! And I must savour the last bit!

themindfulcosmos​ // Setup First Date [ShikaIno, feat. Choji] Part 3 

 “Though it seems a bit strange, doesn’t it?” She asked as the two were seated at a table. “There are only tables for two here.”

Normally she wouldn’t have questioned Choji’s motives, but considering the restaurant’s seating arrangements for the night, she couldn’t let it go unnoticed.

“He planned this.” She said, a deep sigh escaping her lips, as she thought about it. Considering she hadn’t done anything about her feelings before, of course, Choji would put it upon himself. “He must have, or he’d be sitting with us right now.”

“Yeah, it is...” Shikamaru agreed at the table arrangements, Choji wouldn’t be this careless especially when it came to eating out so. “Of course he did, which means…”

This definitely had something to do with their recent talks, about his feelings towards Ino and being honest with her. Shikamaru knew he couldn’t just avoid In or the conversation anymore, Choji would probably set them up on another ‘date’ if he stalled again, so he decided to at least try to take the initiative.

“I guess we should take the chance to clear the air, huh.”

“Choji! There you are, you owe me for last time, now come on!” Naruto exclaimed while dragging Choji away past them with a grin to another table.

“Sorry you two, I didn’t think Naruto was here so...” Choji apologised with a slight bow, acting like he had no choice on the matter.

themindfulcosmos​ // Setup First Date [ShikaIno, feat. Choji] - Part 2

Ino had just made her way over to the restaurant, looking around for Choji until she saw the familiar face of her other teammate. 

“Ah, Shikamaru… Hey.” Ino greeted, not having expected him to be there. It was certainly nice to see him again though, she really enjoyed his company. “Yeah, I’m waiting on Choji. He wanted me to meet him for dinner here.” She said in response to his earlier question. “How about you? Waiting out on a special lady or something?” She asked, a bit curious over what brought him there. 

“I see, and you got the wrong idea here, Ino. Actually I was-“ Shikamaru started to reply, but was then cut off by Choji showing up.

“Thanks for coming you two! Come on, let’s eat!” Choji greeted them, hands on their shoulders as he brought them inside. “What? I could have sworn there were bigger tables for more people, you two go sit down first!” His jaw dropped at all the tables for two, then rushed off to talk to reception about it.

“I was saying, Choji invited me over here too. Should we sit down?” Shikamaru asked Ino, then heard a familiar loud voice. “Jeez, did he invite Naruto here too?”
