Random but i saw someone that ships Kaw*Sum* say that MitsuSara and KawaSara don't have any "healthy interactions" LMFAOOOOO. And that Kaw*Sum* and BoruSumi both have the ultimate "goal" to protect Sumire's character😂. Istg that was that was the most ridiculous thing i've ever read, they want to protect her character and a healthy ship for her but they ship her with...Kawaki? (No hate to him, he's my precious muffin). I also think i saw them talking about "development, deep conversations ecc..." and i was like "are those things in the room with us🥴?".

MitsuSara by far has the healthiest interactions out of everyone, including BoruSara despite how they try to argue their the healthiest ship, they are very much NOT lol

Mitsuki and Sarada have mutual respect for one another, they dont really argue and arent petty, Mitsuki is willing to listen to and be there for Sarada even when Boruto isnt (example the ninja tech mission) and will go so far as to blackmail Boruto into coming with them so she'll be better protected (threatening to let Sarada take the mission alone to guilt Boruto into coming with them) AND to make matters worse he's actually the one who even remembered the promise Boruto made to her and literally reminded him of it and guilt tripped him about it because it was true, he made that big grand declaration to be her right hand man and protect her but the first mission he doesnt like he's just "You go ahead Mitsuki but I refuse" like...its not about you, this is only a few chapters after he made the promise and he already forgot he's supposed to be her protector lol but Mitsuki didnt.

Mitsuki was also the one who first believed in her abilities enough to lead them where once again, Boruto did not, even Kawaki had faith in her abilities and knew their chances of winning were higher under her leadership.

Mitsuki and Sarada are always shown having eachothers back, there were so many times Sarada was gonna be reckless or in danger and Mitsuki snatched her out of there or stopped her, and she has protected him numerous times as well, the list goes on really but the point is they have a very healthy relationship, as healthy as InoShikaChos just minus the growing up together part.

As for KawaSara they also had plenty of healthy interactions, literally in 28 we see Sarada soften up to Kawaki and promise to be there for him whenever hes troubled, then later we see them training together, then we see them working together trying to find clues about karma and her offering to ask her mother about it, then we see Sarada literally running to his rescue despite knowing what danger shes up against, then we see Kawaki break down to her over Naruto's loss and her open up to him about something she never did even to her own best friend and reassuring him of who Naruto is, they then work together to defeat Boro and rescue Naruto with Kawaki PERSONALLY relying on Sarada to find the core while he (and the others) took the beating to buy time for her to do so, then when Boro attacks Mitsuki and is about to attack Sarada (and Boruto) he protects her, then when he gets knocked away Sarada tries to protect HIM, she also saved him from Boro's virus earlier when he and Boruto were immobilized by it.

They've had plenty of healthy interactions, ppl just pretend otherwise because they wanna paint the narrative that only BoruSara (and sometimes KawaSumi) have a healthy/healthiest relationship when they dont.

So getting to KawaSumi, the ship, and its shippers for that matter, is pure delusion atp, and I hate to sound like bsa fans but ppl who try to force this pairing do not care about Sumire's feelings, because unlike Sarada, Sumire IS canonically inlove for Boruto, so disregarding her feelings as 'just a crush' and 'not real love the way Sarada's is' and my favorite 'she'll move on' when why does she need to? not like Boruto has confessed his feelings for anyone, not like theres any confirmation of who he likes yet so why she gotta move on?

Even if for arguments sake Sarada DID also like Boruto, why does Sumire have to give up her feelings because of Sarada? she doesnt OWN Boruto, hes not her possession, hes not an item she called dibs on and Sumire gotta step back, no, Boruto as of now likes nobody, so why does Sumire need to move on and accept Sarada 'likes' him if Boruto himself hasnt made a decision yet? HIS feelings are the only ones that matter in this situation because HES the one who has to reciprocate, if Sarada liked Boruto but Boruto chose Sumire, does she have to reject that because Sarada liked him first? because thats the logic here.

Sumire needs to 'move on' because Sarada called dibs and Boruto definitely will (or as they insist already) reciprocate, so Sumire needs to move on and accept she lost...even though she hasnt, their not even dating, nor has either admitted having any feelings towards eachother, yet they want Sumire to back off despite her not having any reason to.

Again, if Sarada likes him, Sumire doesnt have to back off because of that, Boruto is not her property to claim as belonging to her when he hasnt even reciprocated her feelings yet, let alone knows she even has them.

Until Boruto himself makes a decision, Sumire doesnt have to move on or accept anything, the only time she does is when and if Boruto and Sarada's feelings are mutual, that is the ONLY time she should let go cuz she got no choice then. But even then she doesnt have to move on if she doesnt want to, Tsunade didnt, Karin didnt, so Sumire doesnt have to either, she can just move forward with her life while still loving Boruto but accepting his relationship.

The only reason ppl want Sumire to 'move on' is because it makes them feel more secure, if she stayed single and still inlove with Boruto they fear another Karin situation, ya know all the cheating etc conspiracies, but if shes with another guy they know their safe from all that, bonus points if their kids look nothing like Sarada then they'd really catch hell with the 'real mother' allegations as well lol

Anyway movin on

they want to protect her character and a healthy ship for her but they ship her with...Kawaki?

This is the kicker right here because it shows just how MUCH they dont care about her character, nor understand her in general. Sumire does no more for Kawaki than she would if she were caretaking anybody else because thats just who Sumire is, she wants to help ppl, Boruto inspired her to be the person she wants to be, and she made up her mind that she wanted to be someone who supports the village through science, which we see her using all types of medical science that'll help alot of shinobi.

Yet they act as if her kindness and caring for Kawaki is some special case when its not, anyone in Kawaki's position she would do the exact same thing, if she saw Amado being sus with them, she would go out of her way to spy on him the exact same way, why? because she cares for ppl, why would she spy on Amado? because she feels he may be a threat to the village which we've already established her goal is to support, so nothing shes doing now would change if you put another character in Kawaki's spot, thats your first hint that these interactions arent anything special to run with.

The second hint is the fact that Kawaki picked up that she liked Boruto and she admitted it to his face, killing any interest he may have developed for her if he thought there was nobody she was interested in (Not saying this actually would've happened, just sayin if the possibility were there its gone with her already liking someone, so the thought of pursuing her would never even come up) but what makes it worse is that Kawaki doesnt even care, to him, in his own words, she is just doing her job as Katasuke's assistant, he doesnt care who she likes as long as she still does her job.

That right there tells you how he thinks of her, even though Sumire has care for him, Kawaki has zero for her, is he grateful for her help? yes, but does he personally care about her beyond that? no. To him, again in his own words, she is just Katasuke's assistant, this is what he literally refers to her as, then he further makes clear that they only have a patient/caretaker relationship when he says he doesnt care about her feelings as long as she does her job.

He doesnt see anything Sumire is doing as anything more than her doing her job because that essentially IS all shes doing, is she genuinely concerned about his wellbeing? yes, but again she would feel no different if there were anyone else in his position because thats just who Sumire IS.

Quick example, If Sasuke and Sakura were strapped to a bomb unable to escape in one area, and a whole village of innocent ppl in another area, and only Naruto was around to save them, who do you think he'd go save and who would he let die? if your answer is he'd save both or die trying, then congrats, you understand Naruto's character.

That's essentially who Sumire is, it doesnt matter what unfortunate person needs taken care of in this situation, Sumire would go out of her way for them because thats just who she IS. Kawaki is not special to her, nor is she special to Kawaki, they are at the very least aquaintances who were on good terms until he turned against Boruto, thats it.

You can argue they were 'healthy' if you wanna go purely by the manga because they didnt have many negative interactions, but thats not exactly a high bar to clear when the ppl in question are just aquaitences, a caretaker caring for her patient and said patient getting up and leavin when shes done.

You never seen them interact or talk one on one outside of the lab, even when meeting to discuss the cohabitation plan, they werent talking to eachother and were just going over what the mission entailed, then when Ada called her there they STILL dont interact or even speak because, as I've made more than clear by this point, they HAVE no personal relationship outside of patient/caretaker.

Even when everyone is hunting Kawaki down we never see her worried or care, but we saw Ada, and we saw Sarada, and then when the whole omnipotence situation goes down she only thinks about Boruto and wanting to help him, at no point in this entire chaos does she ever express any concern or sympathy for Kawaki.

Why? because HE'S not special to her, Boruto is, and even though she understood why he did it and let it slide the first time since Naruto vouched for him, shes not letting it slide a second time even with Shikamaru telling them his reasoning for doing so, Sumire prioritized Boruto's wellbeing over Kawaki's because thats who she cares about, thats who is special to her, who she has a personal deep connection with, thats who she loves, thats who saved her and gave her a second chance at life, and thats who she wants to protect.

Im not saying she doesnt care about Kawaki at all, but she has no personal attachment to him to put him above or on the same level of Boruto. When push came to shove we saw who was really special to Sumire and who wasnt, and it wasnt Kawaki, it was Boruto, and it has remained that way for 3 years ever since Kawaki's second attempt on his life.

The only person Kawaki has on his side right now thats not brainwashed is Ada, nuff said right there.

I also think i saw them talking about "development, deep conversations ecc..." and i was like "are those things in the room with us?".

They had zero development, the most you could call development with them is Kawaki going from rejecting needles from Sumire to eventually accepting them, thats it, their relationship has remained completely stagnant beyond that.

'Development' means change in a relationship, it means progression be it positive or negative, nothing has changed with them tho, even with omnipotence theres really no difference between then and now because there was never much between them from the get go, the only change is her working with Sarada to try and undo the brainwashing, thats not really a change in their relationship tho so yeah, zero development fr fr.

Deep conversations? Im assuming they are referring to the anime which completely contradicts the manga which thankfully disregarded the anime changes altogether so I will as well, but even if I include it, then I have to burst the bubble once again and say it wasnt a deep conversation, because Sumire did all the talking, she did all the assuming, Kawaki never reciprocated and kept dodging talking to her altogether, telling her to back off, to mind her business, that she doesnt know him, and even asking why shes telling him all this in the first place (he literally did not ask for her sob story yet she gave her whole life story to him because she assumed they were alike and he'd relate)

This so called 'deep conversation' was so one sided its actually sad, Sumire put in all the effort but Kawaki engaged with none of it and just kept tryin to get her to leave him alone and stop acting like she knows him, which she herself admits she didnt, yet she made all these baseless assumptions about him based on 2 lines he said, the one about her (or nue, its unclear) being a monster just like him (which makes no sense in context cuz what does her having Nue as a pet have to do with him being a monster when he has no such pet of his own? even if its about her having the power to control it, that also doesnt fly because he literally sees her being unable to control it against him, it was just weird and forced to make Sumire sympathize with him in the most unnatural way)

And 2 him saying he doesnt trust ppl, which could be for a variety of different reasons, it doesnt automatically make his story like hers yet she assumes it was and kept trying to relate to him when they literally have nothing in common with their backgrounds other than being vessels and I guess you can argue abusive fathers, but even thats a stretch when compared to Kawaki's, they were very clearly two different types of abuse.

How do I know? because Sumire said it herself that she loved her dad and WANTED to carry out his will, Kawaki feared his dad, both of them, and was ruthlessly beaten by them either for just existing (his biological dad) or cruel 'training' and 'torture' to be a perfect vessel for him (Isshiki). The abuse Sumire received was just brutal training, her father was very hard on her and pushed her to her limit until she was ready to be branded with the Gozu Tennou and carry out his will which was also partially hers too as by that point she also wanted revenge on the village for her mothers death and her awful upbringing due to their mistreatment for their connection to Danzo.

Does any of that sound remotely like Kawaki could relate to? a kid abused by his biological dad for shits and giggles? literally sold off to a complete stranger for money for booze? an adoptive alien dad who brutally beat him everyday, forced karma on him, and then forcefully had his body modified with ninja tech? do you think Sumire can even remotely relate to that? no, so her so called 'deep conversation' with Kawaki just falls on deaf ears because nothing shes saying relates to him at all, its like when Naruto said he understood Sasuke and Sasuke snapped at him saying he had nothing from the start so how can he understand what its like to have everything and then lose it? that's Sumire.

Only difference is Naruto owned up to his insensitivity and acknowledged that he really didnt understand Sasuke and no wonder he didnt listen to him, Naruto made the effort to try and understand Sasuke's pain, to find out whats going on in his head, why hes acting the way he is, after Sumire gets all that push back from Kawaki she never makes any attempt to try and get to know him personally from there, nor does she ever acknowledge that she was totally wrong in assuming they were alike when they werent, instead she still insists that she is 'just like him' even after he had just got finished telling her off that she didnt know him and she herself admitted she didnt yet she still says she is just like him and completely disregards what he said.

A sad look in someones eyes does not equate to being like Sumire, lots of ppl are sad, lots of ppl have suffered, is everyone who has sad eyes just like Sumire? no, Sarada had sad eyes from missing her dad all those years, did Sumire ever think they were alike? no, you cannot make the argument that she saw something different in Kawaki when she did not know a single thing about him, when Kawaki wasnt letting her in at all, not everybody closed off is like Sumire either, she is just making assumptions based on the most shallow reasoning.

Nother quick example, why did Naruto relate to Gaara and Sasuke so genuinely? because Sasuke and him were both orphans, because Gaara and him were both jinchuriki.

You know the difference with Sumire? she doesnt KNOW anything about Kawaki to make a connection, she doesnt know their both vessels, she doesnt know they both had abusive fathers, so her relating to him rings hollow because Honda stupidly tried to make them connect without the necessary information FOR them to because if he DID it would contradict the manga far too much because thats information Naruto, Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki learn first. So instead, they make Sumire tip toe around the topic by just offering up her sob story unprovoked because obviously theres where Kawaki's biggest issue lies (daddy issues) but again she lacks the necessary information to make the connection, so it falls on deaf ears because what does her dad wanting to use her to get revenge on Konoha have to do with him? it was a stupid anime only addition that added nothing, remove it and nothing changes because their relationship isnt affected one way or the other from that entire exchange.

She learns more about him as time goes on since shes involved with the plot now but we never see any reflection from her, keep in mind the anime is what made this up so they had plenty opportunity to show Sumire reflecting on her words to him and acknowledging that she really didnt understand him after all but they didnt, why? because they realized they screwed up when the manga showed their relationship wasnt becoming any deeper, my guess is they assumed by her becoming his caretaker they were setting them up to become closer and bond but when they saw the manga hammer in her feelings for Boruto even to Kawaki they backtracked everything they did in the anime and just pretended it never happened (hence why you didnt see anymore anime only interactions between them)

As for why they removed Sumire's feelings for Boruto twice and only hinted at them I have no idea, but the manga has made it very clear and straightforward that she is inlove with him and the anime will have to acknowledge it, even if they dont, that doesnt make it any less canon just because the studio wants to downplay her feelings for whatever reason, the manga is the source material and the only one that matters frfr, so if the manga says Sumire definitively likes Boruto, then thats whats canon, period.

Anyway as for Kawaki asking why shes called class rep which I assume is another deep conversation their referring to, that more comes from not Kawaki having some great desire to know more about her, but we can tell from Kawakis background that he most likely never went to school and isnt familiar with what the term 'class rep' means as he's never experienced it, so he's curious why shes called that all the time instead of by name. If Kawaki was trying to genuinely get to know her personally then he would've asked more than that, but as soon as she stopped explaining the origin of class rep, he just asked her to give him the painkillers he rejected before and that was the end of it.

Now I'll be fair and admit the chapter where their talking about him having killed Boruto can be classified somewhat as a 'deep covetion' because its the only one thats actually 'deep' and reciprocated without one just talking to the other. Sumire tries to be understanding of what he did and Kawaki then opens up about how he feels about needing karma which Sumire then tells him of her suspicion of that being what Amado wants.

So ok fine, I'll give them that, but where did they go from there? nowhere, it amounted to nothing because in the end altho Sumire 'understood' he must've had good reason, she was shown still being very unnerved and suspicious around him, she didnt truly 'understand' and 'accept' what he had done, more like she was in denial trying to convince herself until she saw Kawaki being hostile towards Boruto again and starts getting ptsd flashbacks.

The so called 'deep conversation' wasnt that deep, because ultimately she didnt actually understand him, and he didnt really open up to her expecting any support or understanding, he was just venting, but Im sure if Sumire offered it might've helped steer him away from the edge but she didnt, instead she just repeated Naruto's words because truthfully she was uncomfortable, but she tried to lie to herself that she understood and that everything was fine when it wasnt.

Know who else did that? Naruto, he too tried to pretend that he understood Kawaki, that he didnt hate him for killing his son, that he was still on his side even after what he did. Obviously we know Naruto is not a hateful person and is very forgiving, but he was clearly in denial about his real feelings on the matter and Shikamaru even points it out which makes Naruto snap because he doesnt want to admit the truth. YES he is angry at Kawaki for killing his son, what parent wouldnt be? and YES he does understand why Kawaki did it, and he is still on his side, but is Naruto more unnerved by him now? yes, is Naruto more skeptical of him now? yes, does Naruto trust him less now? yes, is Naruto less protective of him now than he was before? yes, and does Naruto prioritize Boruto more now over Kawaki? yes.

That doesnt mean Naruto hates him, that doesnt mean Naruto doesnt see him as his son anymore, that doesnt mean Naruto doesnt care about him, no, what it DOES mean is that Naruto's perception of him has changed, he no longer feels comfortable around him, hes nervous, he doesnt know what he might do, but hes also in denial so he tries to force himself to think that everything is fine when deep down he knows it isnt. He loves Kawaki and wants to be there for him, but Naruto isnt stupid and knows that hes on the edge right now and could be pushed over it any moment which is why he went along with the cohabitation plan thinking that would keep things from escalating anytime soon, which unfortunately isnt how things played out and his worst fears came to pass.

Sumire is like Naruto, she doesnt want to admit to herself that shes uncomfortable, that Kawaki is unstable, she doesnt want to admit theres a problem when there is, so she goes into full denial mode and acts like she gets it and that everythings fine since Boruto is alive when deep down she knows it isnt, but just like Naruto, she refuses to acknowledge this, because like Naruto, she doesnt want it to seem like shes turning on him during this vulnerable time as that could risk pushing him over the edge as well.

Again this is not me saying they didnt care about him, of course they did, but just because they cared about him doesnt mean they'd disregard what he did, especially when he doesnt express any regret or remorse (because he genuinely feels that he did what needed to be done) makes them all the more unnerved by him. (Obviously we the audience knows he feels remorse, but Naruto and Sumire did not have the same insight)

Bottom line is the one manga canon deep conversation they had wasnt that deep, nothing was gained from it, Kawaki was just venting and Sumire was in pure denial, so even me being fair, I cant give it more credit than its due.

So anyway moral of the story is, KawaSumi is a joke and the very definition of a crackship, they have interactions but they are few and far between, and said interactions often amount to nothing, her spying on Amado out of concern amounted to nothing, her being his caretaker amounted to nothing (they didnt get closer because of it and Katasuke and Amado did majority of the work while she only gave needles) everything about them together amounted to nothing, so it still falls into the category of a crackship for the fact that 1 Sumire already canonically likes someone else and 2 they have zero development and have remained no more than patient/caretaker.

I could list all the development and progression KawaSara has had but this post is long enough already so I'll leave it at that. All I'll say is they went from misunderstanding, to hostility, to understanding and reaching out, to envy, to helping out, to empathizing, to relating to eachother, to fighting together, relying on eachother, protecting eachother, being grateful for the others help, being considered a part of team 7, to falling out, to betrayal, to still trying to reason with, to becoming enemies/rivals clashing over their different ideologies on how to go about protecting Konoha and butting heads over his framing of Boruto with her actively working against him trying to undo the brainwashing done on everyone.

They've had plenty of development both positive and negative, KawaSumi on the other hand has remained stagnant from start to finish, even in the anime they had zero progression, and even with the anime downplaying her feelings the manga has more than made clear she was and is still inlove with Boruto and thats not gonna change, especially not for Kawaki.

(Note: isnt it kinda ironic that the anime tried to give KawaSumi KawaSara's development? making him hostile and aggressive towards her at first but then softening up later when that is not how it went down in the manga? funny how that works, just goes to show even they knew they had zero development, they even tried to make her relate to him over her daddy issues the way Sarada did except hers actually meant something because she had the necessary information to relate. Just find it funny that ppl say KawaSara had no development yet SP tried giving KawaSumi that exact development lol)

Anyone who thinks otherwise is just delusional and living in complete fanon fantasy land. The ppl who believe Ada and Kawaki will get together are even more delusional but thats a topic for another day, point is KawaSumi is a joke, majority of its support comes from keepaway shipping, they dont care about Kawaki and they definitely dont care about Sumire, they just want them away from Boruto and Sarada, you literally cannot ask half of these ppl why they like the ship and think it'll be endgame without it either being some fanon nonsense that isnt backed by canon or is taken totally outta context, or the anime they take as more law than the manga because it supports the narrative they wanna push, even though the manga contradicts it entirely.

If anything I'd want to disregard those episodes as canon because Kawaki literally strangles her there and Sumire straight up beats an injured prisoner and nearly gets his arm ripped off by her rabid beast she cant control. If anything I'd want those things NOT to be canon for my ship, but of course cuz its KawaSumi those bad moments dont matter cuz its part of their 'development' and yet these same ppl bring up chapter 28 constantly like it just happened yesterday. They are both massive hypocrites, and ppl who have zero self awareness, all you can do is smile and wave and let them cling to their delusion because atp its all they got. Especially the ones who say their 'suspicious' of Sumire's feelings for Boruto and dont think its real love because she aint run to his rescue like Sarada (which she did just not there and Sarada didnt even fight for him and ended up being protected instead which undercut the moment).

Again, just smile and wave, the characters who have shown what real love is so far is InoHima, BoruSumi and BoruMitsu where the feelings are mutual and given equally (Im referring to both romantic love and just love in general) but Im not gonna go into that here, I've gone on enough, maybe if Im asked I'll go more in depth on that in another post but those of you who get it already know what I mean.

Bottom line, KawaSumi is a joke, it thrives purely off fanon and having the biggest ship fanbase on their side, if not for them nobody would even pay them any mind or even know their foolishness existed.

Hmmm noticed neji is only ever written with the way other anons have described some hcs being in x reader content more so aiming towards woman readers. Which makes sense. People are writing out their fantasies about fictional men that i can get i get but some hcs... do make me question how people can come to such conclusion about his character,

Like where is the whole mean depraved dad dom energy coming from it's obvious projection. I do mind my business it's not my thing or i go to read something where he's in character but it kinda does annoy me when yeah like the other anon said. Treat the fanon as canon or i've seen people force their headcanons onto to others which is not okay. What i also noticed he is not like this in ships again only x reader sometimes its bizarre for me to see his character being wrapped changed.

And then i read a fic of him and shikamaru or tenten for example and it feels like im actually reading his canon version. Also what the other anon said he would def ask for consent on anything people write him doing things just out of the blue and im like????? Uhhhh yeah its a fic but also assault cause just.. no i personally just curate my space block see the headcanon i want to see only following certain people or write my own that's what i have been doing with an oc i created a while ago with him. Best advice block and do what makes you happy anon works for me so far lol

Blocking and muting tags + fics/authors really just be your best bet with curating your space.... best form of self care with your character indulgence right there! Especially grand way to avoid those mischaracterizations you may come across,,,,, I would know-

But really like I think you said, y/n or x reader fics tend to be more self indulgent types of fics (at least in my own personal opinion) and really are where people write out their fantasies or personal interpretations for how characters may act in certain scenerios. And I don't say that to be condescending or bash on anyone, it's your fic and self indulgence is a good thing! It's how people wanna enjoy themselves and their time and I do appreciate that aspect of it.

Though I do agree with you on the annoyance when it comes to people treating fanon as canon material or go out of their way to shove those headcanons down people's throats. It's a good way to suck the joy out of something for someone or to just simply piss people off, that's never fun for anyone.

The differences between those and canon character ship fics? I think the difference there lies with people maybe more wanting to build upon or explore dynamics between two established characters, so I can see there why characterization would be more in line with canon there (I will say though in the same way not every x reader fic mischaracterizes, not every canon character ship fic is completely in character either. I've read some that seemed self indulgent as well, and quite a few mischaracterizations for my faves have been from these kinds of fics-. Then again I'm also hella picky with fics and don't really read too many beyond ones I've already read, ehehe-)

I really honestly think it depends on the fic/author at this point. Hit or miss sort of deal. Really like you mentioned already though, the fic space I think is just something you gotta curate: avoiding hcs and interpretations you don't like + scrolling past or blocking and muting are really all you can do! Better than harassing anyone. BUT this isn't to dismiss your frustrations with mischaracterizations!!! Believe me, I know all to well of the pain with running into Neji, Naruto, or nejinaru mischaracterizations sm! I will be the first to hold ur hand and tell you I get it,,,,, I hear you sm.

(I will be completely be honest with you anon, I.... am not a multishipper with Neji and don't really like shikaneji or nejiten so I have NO knowledge on how in character those fics are, whoops)

#alybur thoughts #sorry I took a minute to answer this-#also sorry this is how you found out i'm not a neji multishipper #i like.... nejinaru sm and they plague my mind #and just nejinaru actually

month 0.

Smaller than a grain of salt.

It started on top of Neji’s raggedy, old, summer camp sleeping bag. All heat and mouths trailing wet kisses down necks, across collarbones, on hips; two pairs of briefs hitting the floor, a raspy, whispered yes, then a slick slide. He still doesn’t know exactly how they got there or when—must have been sometime after doing lines in Naru’s lap in the backyard, encouraging the other boy turn into his slutty alter-ego, and watching him give the new kid in town a lap dance so thorough that he thought he saw one of the town’s resident bottle-blondes shove a twenty or two in the front pocket of those tight-ass shorts Naru loves to wear.

Seventeen days later, his nipples are sore and he’s nauseous when it hits him. They didn’t use a condom. He has no idea when his last cycle was beforehand.

So, what does he do? He makes an emergency run to Konoha. Naru will know what to do.

Naru, does in fact know exactly what to do and say to soothe his frazzled nerves. He doesn’t have a problem slapping the two garish, pink boxes that will tell him if his life is over—one as a pre-test, and the other final—on the counter along with the money, giving the cashier the finger, and rolling his eyes at her as she judges him.

Meanwhile, Gaara’s just trying to ignore the eyes burning twin, bug eyed holes into the back of his head. It’s not working so well. But he’s always been a master of the art of diversion.

“Fuck’s her problem?” He says to Naru once they exit the store.

“Hell if I know,” Naru says, shrugging his shoulder, “her mama can’t stand me, and I guess the apple don’t fall far from the goddamn tree.”

He lets out snort a snort and replies, “That’s so sad. You’re a fuckin’ gem, Naruto Uzumaki.”

Naru gives him his signature million-watt grin, “Ditto, Gaara No-Last-Name.”

It never fails to amuse him how Naru has heard his last name plenty times and still hasn’t figured out that it’s his.

When they get to the car, Gaara opens his mouth and asks, “Wanna go see Kiba for a lil’ bit before I get outta here?”

Naru tilts his head to the side, hand frozen on the door handle, “I thought you came to spend time with me?”

Gaara rubs his neck as he gets into the driver’s seat, “Don’t get me wrong, I did.” He says, tone apologetic, “But I gotta be back before six-thirty ‘cause my mama gotta be somewhere before seven and her car’s in the shop.”

Naru nods and ducks into the passenger’s seat, shutting the door with a quick slam, “Let’s do it.”

“Plus, I gotta go rescue Kankuro, Kiba’s mama look like she eats lil’ punk kids for breakfast.”

Naru laughs, something that never fails to cheer Gaara up. “She ain’t gonna eat him,” Naru says, “that’s Kuromaru’s job.”

Gaara cranks the engine and grins at Naru, “Like hellI’m finna miss that. So, where am I headed?”

“When you get to the end of the lot, make a right, keep straight, and it’s two blocks over. It’s the place with big house, a big sign, and all the dog toys in the yard. Sign says, “Inuzuka Kennels” on it.”

“You got it, boss. Kankuro drove in, and I was sleep most of the way, so I don’t know where the hell I’m goin’.”

***

The car ride is short, maybe five minutes with the midday traffic but Naru fills the car with loud music and a slew of questions. Gaara tunes most of them out with generic answers, because Naru asks him stuff all the time and won’t remember it twenty minutes later. But the boy asks one that cuts through to him.

“You gonna be okay?” He says with a look so soft and sincere it almost makes Gaara want to cry and hurl up the egg salad sandwich he ate before he got here.

Gaara decides to answer him honestly—not that he ever really lies to Naru, “Don’t know.” He says, “Guess I’ll find out soon enough. Naru nods and leaves it at that as he points out where to turn into the driveway.

And if the knot in the pit of Gaara’s stomach somehow loosens then tightens back up, well that’s his own business.

***

Hellcat practically barrels Naru over the second he says his hellos to everyone in the house and waves Gaara inside. Naru hugs his boyfriend back like he hasn’t seen him in years, when really, it’s only been a day or two. Gaara rolls his eyes, He hopes he never gets that lovesick.

Kiba’s mom is a delight, though. She pulls him into a gentle hug when she walks into the kitchen to greet them properly, then offers him a hielito from the refrigerator freezer. As he sits at the small, kitchen table, eyeing the kitschy decorations on the wall and focusing his attention on the can of Money House Blessing air freshener, he almost forgets about the black grocery bag with those two pink boxes inside on the car seat. Almost.

***

“So what’s in the bag, baby bro?” Kankuro asks once they’re on the freeway, leaving humid and hazy Konoha behind and heading into the perpetual dust storm that covers Suna.

See, Gaara might never lie to Naru, but he doesn’t mind lying to his older brother at all. “Remembered I was outta pads. Figured I should grab some before mommy leaves.”

Kankuro sniffs, but doesn’t make a face like he does when Temari mentions needing personals. “I would’ve taken you to get some before we got home.” He says, squinting at the road. “I don’t mind.”

Gaara sucks his teeth, “And have to sit there and watch you suck the life force out of your boyfriend? I’d rather watch paint dry.”

“Jesus, you wound me.” Is the last thing Kankuro says for the rest of the ride, too busy focusing on the road. He even has the radio turned all the way down so he can see better. Gaara snorts, maybe he should mention that Kankuro needs glasses to his mom.

Their house is less than five minutes away from the freeway, tucked into one of those fancy, wannabe gated communities where only half of the houses are built because the construction workers can’t work when the dust storms kick up too badly. Which means they just take the whole summer off, lazy bastards.

Kankuro pulls into the driveway and Gaara grips the plastic bag so hard it might rip. It’s not like his parents can see through it, and he can stash it under his bed until he’s ready for his life to be over…So why is he so nervous?

“How was your trip out, honey?” his mother asks the second they walk in the door and past the living room.

“Good.” He and Kankuro answer in unison, Kankuro heads into the living room and Gaara shoots up the stairs before she can ask anything else.

Two lines. Four, if you count both tests glaring back at him from the bathroom sink.

He’s fucking pregnant.

Nami wraps him up in a hug and he feels himself getting light headed. Fucking pregnant, he thinks, whose gonna take me seriously now?

Legacy of Shinra Reboot ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 1 Remake Finale (2/10) ~

Seto : Solva. Hey, Solva. Do you know that where can we find something incredible for us to get to space?

Solva : Oh, right. Sounds like not a half bad idea or sounds way to negative for that effective part. But where on earth can you find something. But first let's go ask that guy over there.

Seto : What guy?

Solva : That guy over there. *points to Black Star walking out of the clothing store*

Seto : Hey, isn't that one of Maka's...Oh no, it couldn't be.

Solva : [To Seto] What he's doing at the clothing store? Shopping for robes perhaps?

Seto : [To Solva] He's not here for the robes, he was there for something else, probably his girlfriend.

Solva : [To Seto] Hey, I'm the only friend right, but I do know that Maka has never been friends with a shinobi who want us to get his autographs. Oh no, someone's coming with him...

(Tsubaki is shown coming out of the store)

Seto : Hey, that's a high school student. A 16 year old? Better go talk to him immediately.

Black Star : Well, I finally got these new pair of shoes that I wanted to try out to compare for that Naruto douche. Let's see he likes it.

Seto : [To Black Star and Tsubaki] Hey, you. Stop right there. You a Shinobi doesn't look like you're a teen, but you're just a pre-teen in your teens. Where have I seen you before?

Black Star : Eh? Who the hell are you, blondie.

Seto : Oh I'm just a young girl with a passion to be on a good life.

Solva : And I'm--errr--her--umm---Best friend. Yep, I'm her best friend and second in command. We're just two girls having a life on the run. What are you doing here?

Black Star : Minding your own business, I'm just doing some cool hobbies and I gotta get good on my excercises! I haven't seen Soul Evans or that girl named Maka anywhere. She had been missing from this country since Sora was looking after her.

Tsubaki : It's true what they say, another Maka appeared but with silver-hair like Soul's hair.

Seto : Silver hair like soul's hair?

Tsubaki : Yeah, I believe she apparently looks identical to the other Maka with the same face and same hairstyle, I believe she has incredible and beautiful silver hair. I think that this other Maka took the actual one is to believed some kind of clone or something.

Seto : Oh really? How about this. Let's give you some instructions on interrogating your butts.

Black Star : Yeah right. Thanks for the classy informations, but we're wasting our time with no intentions on telling you.

*SHING*

Black Star : *in shock*

Seto : [threatens Black Star] I said...I give you instructions on interrogating your asses!

Solva : Solva, take it easy! I'll handle to this ya.

Black Star : Oh yeah, twintail girl that I've known about sometimes? You gotta problem with that, Magnetic Brat? So what about your terms on interrogating my stupid sorry butt on all these terms? What this girl with magnets on her head gonna do to me , crush my arm?

Solva : True, in a minor fashion way

(scene changes)

*Stretching*

Black Star : OW! OW OW! Hey, man! Let go of my arm! Please, I was just doing my business!

Solva : So you know about Maka being the hero of a story that is all make-believes, secondary hero of the story.

Black Star : Look man, I don't know any Maka, but I do know about her, but she never met me as Kids! I was so busy of being Shinobi wannabe, but I was inherited from the influence of Shinra Kusakabe! Our author may be a weird guy, but he's like another Gen Urobuchi that writes crazy stories that are make-believes and nonsense!

*Solva continues crushing arm*

Black Star : Ahh! That smarts!

Solva : Enough chatter! Either tell me where is Maka Albarn or I'll continue disciplining you!

Black Star : Okay! Okay! Look! I know who the other Maka Albarn is she, she looks identical her, but has the same hairstyle and only the humanoid man knows about that, the other father that Maka knew!

Seto : So now you tell me something. Who is Maka's other father? Tell us now?

Black Star : Umm...I believe it's Ph-Phanto! Phanto's the other father of Maka!

Solva : And her sister.

Tsubaki : Wait, girl with magnets on your head! I know who the other Maka Albarn, she might be another Maka Albarn, she has beautiful silver hair and is the identical twin sister of her.

Seto : And who is that might be?

Tsubaki : Her name was Moirai, Moirai Albarn. Maka Albarn has been keeping her family a secret for almost a year and we believe that her father Spirit was a foolish man to keep it all a secret to himself. Please, I'll help you out. But just to remind you, don't tell anyone or that Ansem seeker that I told you before, or...Or King Bradley will fire us!

Seto : King Bradley? Wait, isn't he Fuhrer of that Amestrian country in Edwarld's world? I don't know why that man owns half of the company and rules a fictional European-like country?

Tsubaki : It's just our luck. Don't be ridiculous, I might help you out to find Maka. But Black Star won't be coming along, he'll have to stay put at Square Enix.

Seto : Don't tell me you're a Naruto fan that pretends to be a Shinobi?

Tsubaki : I'm not just any Shinobi, I'm a Kunoichi working for the Japanese government. I'm only under protection of my guardian?

Seto : Guardian?

Solva : Wait? Who's the guardian?

Tsubaki : Hibana. That's the name of my Guardian?

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 20]

Solva : Hmm? Hibana? Where did I eventually heard that name before.

Seto : I bet she was talking about the woman was very interested with Shinra Kusakabe. That's it, that woman's name is Hibana, she was the woman in her 20s that was part of Shinra's story and it was doubled by either Iris or this Kasugatani that had much to fear from love before the Time Eater destroyed the Entire Ohkuboverse.

Solva : Who knew that Shinra Kusakabe was attracted by women and is quite the lucky guy that is a lady's man?

Seto : Humph. It's no wonder heroes like him in the past had his hand on every women he encountered, but what about this one person that Shinra knew about? Any other subjection that there is one who also knows about Shinra? What was this girl's before? Shinra knew Haumea and Inca were the other women that were puppets of bad influence due to the manipulation of the Ohkuboverse's creator, Demon Vibe.

Tsubaki : Of course, Shinra known women in his world and all of them died or either disappeared to Real World AU. And other girl that Shinra knew about, he was talking about Tamaki Kotatsu.

Seto : Tamak Kotatsu?

Solva : We never heard about Tamaki Kotatsu. What she...

Tsubaki : Yes, a somewhat comrade to Shinra Kusakabe, she was one of the Ohkuboverse's worst humans being in all of it's history, but eventually, this Lucky Lecher Syndrome is definitely off the hook.

Shinra the Devil Chao : Actually, Tamaki's Lucky Lecher doesn't exist. It's because I removed it with the help of the emeralds to make her a better human being.

Seto : Well, look who it is. If ain't the guy who created Soul Eater, Shinra Kusakabe.

"Shinra Kusakabe : The First Hero of the Ohkuboverse"

Shinra the Devil Chao : It's true. I was the one who started this whole Soul Eater thing. Soul Eater was my responsibility to bring all of my efforts and finding the true paradise to bring a world of hope. The gift that I discovered that i was light from the mysterious entity called Angel Vibe.

Seto : So you knew about everything. You were the one responsible for Maka's story?

Solva : Goodness! You are responsible for everything that you did in your life. I heard that Shinigami was born at the beginning of time.

Shinra the Devil Chao : That wasn't Shinigami, it was Darkside Death that I created. Shotaro was Shinigami, the dokeshi that was the slave to Darkside Death, a heartless that I created to benefit Mankind. But then after I created him, I was scolded by the Time Eater and I got everyone involved in the parts of my story. Manipulation of one's story was all just a dream. And eventually, I had my own reasons that I was becoming like this for you see.

*flashback*

[Doctor's Story by Yutaka Minobe plays]

"I was called the hero of a lifetime after the Ohkuboverse was created by Demon Vibe in order to rule the universe by conquering the Galaxy. I was the person that had a nice good life, I was perfect, I had a brother named Sho and a mother named Mari. We were perfect and we would be grateful to be together. Until bad things to started happen, my mother and brother were separated from me, and Demon Vibe made me a scapegoat by making everyone to call me the Devil who created Soul Eater, and if Soul Eater was the responsibility of me, the was only thing was to put the blame for this madness was Demon Vibe, because that cosmic entity ruined my life and including me, manipulating my family, Haumea, and everyone else that got involved in the part of my story. Devil this, devil that, Devil loses family and home to a stupid fire scene that isn't Nibelheim."

"I couldn't take this manipulation from Demon Vibe no more! To put a stop to Demon Vibe wicked plans of ruling the entire universe, I had go through my story to get everyone involved, even my comrades, Obi, Maki, Hinawa, Arthur, Tamaki, Vulcan, Viktor, Lisa, and of course, the girl that I even met with my own eyes is Iris, sweet beloved Iris. They helped me to make myself a hero that will save all of humanity of being a meddlesome hero to stop Demon Vibe's plan of destroying the planet and would bring the peace to a new era for all of humanity. One day, I discovered that Sho, Iris, Haumea, Inca and the othesr were being used as eight pillars that would be the to unlocking humanity's future and new era including as well to the addition of it. But this was all part of Demon Vibe's plan to think that he would create a new era for humanity."

[Tragedy by Kenichi Tokoi plays]

"But eventually, now I realize what Demon Vibe was planning on using to engulf my world in a ball of flames called Firaga, cause this was Demon Vibe's real intention of manipulating humanity. Angel Vibe told me that Demon Vibe was not trying to create a new era for me and my people. It wanted to rule the entire universe by unleashing Darkness into the universe of Real World. Galactic conquest was his dream all along and everyone including me had been fools to that monster the entire time! So when Demon Vibe gifted with the Light hope, I reunited with my mother and Sho to create technique that combines the heart and soul into one powerful force and became the God that is really me, Shinra the legendary Banshoman! Angel Vibe and I finally put a stop to Demon Vibe and banished to a realm where he would not be forgiven. And it's all thanks to Demon Vibe. It was all thanks to my comrades and even haumea as well that I saved from that monstrosity's manipulation."

"So after created my man-made son Darkside Death from my own hear and eventually the world and story of Soul Eater, it became a perfect time for the Ohkuboverse to be free and peaceful in harmony. But peace was short-lived when Time Eater and scolded me for creating Death and Soul Eater itself. Thus, began the annihilation of my world including me and my comrades, but except for others like Tamaki and others who were transferred to Real World AU by the powers of an Ocarina."

Shinra the Devil Chao : With my 1000 years of death along with Iris who became my beloved, there might be those were transferred to real world AU and even resurrected their selves like me, a guy in his teens have taken the body of a lifeform that turn into the form of a God of Destruction. With the emeralds, I was quicly able to find out the whereabout of completing my story, my story to end tale was it the Seven World Rings that needed complete my tale.

Seto : Well, I 'm glad that really worked out as well. Your tale was a such a pleasant tale was such one big tragic backstory. Well, I'm glad that finally figured it out that you were the one who truly created Soul Eater it's because of your responsibilities, your influence has spread across the world including the galaxy, truth was eventually seeking out those who wanted something they want to bring. Being called the Devil may not be a Good thing, but it's also used for Good or Bad ways to say it. You're a hero just like me. Once you'll get back on your feet, you will be the hero that you were always be.

Solva : Yeah! Just the hero you are, Mr. Kusakabe.

Shinra the Devil Chao : You really mean it. Now I can finally become hero again and I will fend off evildoers whoever messes with me! I will be the hero that everyone respected me shall make me great again!

Seto : And of course, I bet Maka Albarn, would suspect that she would be the hero of this world just like you were once and eventually she'll be happy to see you again, buddy!

Shinra the Devil Chao : Maka, you say? That girl that I've known about? Of course she'll happy to see me as the hero that she known about. You are definitely correct, Seto the Deathless. And one more thing for me.

[Road to the King by Yutaka Minobe]

Seto : Hmm? What is it?

*clenched fist*

Seto : Huh?

Shinra the Devil Chaos : When that blue hedghehog said Little Buddy to every chao in the garden a thousand times over...I told him to stop saying that and you know it's buddy this, buddy that, little buddy give me a fruit to eat. I'm Shinra Kusakabe the hero and buddies were being called a hero, there's solution to put my finger on it.

Tsubaki : Why is that matter to you?

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Because...*raises fist*

Seto : Eh!?

*DBZ SFX : Strong Punch*

Shinra the Devil Chaos : MY NAME IS NOT LITTLE BUDDY! And it's not the devil either! Sonic has been driving nuts calling Chao buddies. That ship is sailed when the Dreamcast lost to the Playstation! All I was to be the hero of my life, my story, my everything, I made everything for the responsibility of my own, I wanted world without the Darkness or the despair that happened in the Ohkuboverse. And why did the Time Eater scolded me for the responsiblity of Soul Eater's beginnings?

Time Eater's Voice : Only a hero who would reach the end of his or her tale, but you failed to the reach the end of your tale without gathering the Seven World Rings, I will erase everything that you hold friend, your existence, your world, and this universe that you live. Only a fool is too worthy to be a hero of each the stories that were foretold. But without the World rings, you will have nothing in your life, not even you could spare one's life in a 1000 years.

Shinra the Devil Chaos : With that responsibility, the Time Eater destroyed the Ohkuboverse for real after the annihilation and ceasing everything to be exist. But when I resurrected into this? Things from the Ohkuboverse would never be the same. I had that responsibility from Robotnik, but I gave him that advice with the help of finding in the past mistakes. But remember, this is a job that is worth the life of a hero but it could be risky to fight one's ideals, but the most important thing of in that concession. You can't even deny or can't count on anyone or anybody but yourself, especially when it comes to your heroes, you don't even get the chance.

Seto : Eh, okay, I get it. Look! It's really a hard-knock for ya Shinra, I mean...This was not how it goes. Maka was wrong to follow your footsteps of becoming a hero and I'm sorry that the Ohkuboverse you all known about is gone, The Time Eater had no reasons to destroy universe that both you and Maka lived.

Solva : And basically, what did Maka said anything on her thirteenth birthday?

Shinra the devil chaos : The thing she said something to me is like this. You'll probably know why she wants to follow my footsteps to the path of becoming a hero.

*flashback to Chao World*

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula - Track 14]

Maka Albarn : So listen up, Shinra. Beg me for this. I've read about your story, Mom and Dad told me that the world you created would never fall into despair. But why are you telling that you were the one who fell into despair? You are the hero that I want to follow to your footsteps and I just wanted to be that way.

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Are you saying that you wanted to be a hero like me? Do ya, Maka? You don't get it, do you? Being a hero is a dangerous job and it could put your life in danger. You don't want to get involved into serious situations like these do ya? How are you gonna show something to this world that you wanted to understand?

Maka Albarn : What I really wanted because of your influence. Your influence has made me the way what a hero can do to their selves, I'll show the world what courage can do for me, and this Soul Resonance is the only thing that I truly i understand! This is what means to be the world's greatest hero that has ever seen in my life!

Shinra the Devil Chaos : No you don't! Showing the world your courage is stupid and this Soul Resonance that you said, there is no Soul Resonance! I made that up for you, you know!? Don't you know what it's like to live in the real world? Listen to me, wake up, Maka! Open your eyes and seek into the truth! I fooled you to think that you you just wanted to be obsessed with anyone in your life so that you could be the hero of your own story that I made for you. And courage has nothing to do with the world! It's valor I said, Valor! Do you know what Valor.

Maka Albarn : Is there's something wrong? But what does this mean? Are you sure about that? I look forward into following your footsteps and I don't care what happens to my life! I will show the world what my courage can do! Whether you like it or not! *leaves*

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Maka! Wait! *Maka stops for moment*

Maka Albarn : What is it, Shinra?

Shinra the Devil Chaos : I warned you. Don't risk your life fighting for your ideals, you'll be in danger when you follow footsteps of becoming a hero and when you do, you'll dies and eventually loose your body, just like mine that I lost to the Time Eater.

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 21]

Maka Albarn : Am I really going to die? I only wanted to show the world how great being a hero that I can do. I...I...Just wanted to make everyone happy. What's so wrong about that? Why can't you even just make believes and just deal with it?

Shinra the Devil Chaos : *nods*

Maka Albarn : (turns to Shinra) You have my word. I promise that even if I followed your footsteps of being the hero you are, then I'll make sure that I will protect the earth from harm. Heck! I would even save a galaxy or defender of the universe! No evildoer shall stand in in our way saving the world and bringing hope the galaxy! From this day on, two heroes of the long-lost Ohkuboverse will have their stories interwined, linked to another! I will be Maka the hero!

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Nah. That's my line. But I definitely I like that appreciation of yours.

Maka Albarn : True, that will be the appreciation of our destiny that will be intertwined with our destined fates. Let's make an oath to be the world's greatest heroes that they ever dreamed of.

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Agree. *fist bumps* I appreciate that, friend.

Maka Albarn : Same to you, hero.

*flashback ends*

Shinra the Devil Chaos : ....Now you finally understand the hardships to even let yourself to follow the dreams wherever you go. Making us heroes is what we do and that is our job to be heroes.

Seto : Wow. You knew about that, huh, Shinra? Are you saying that both your story and her's are linked and intertwined together. Was it your tale to be the greatest hero that you imagined when you were a human child. Childhood have always got great memories that foreshadows their dreams of becoming a hero. I bet that I too be a hero one day, when I was a kid, I looked into my father's steps of chosing to be the hero that I could be one day. Master told me anything about that much of a appreciation, even Solva and I known each other at school. We've been like this together as a heroes, savior of humankind, protector of the innocence, and most of my favorite part. The only thing what this world really wants is...

Seto & Solva [together] Love and Peace! *does a peace sign*

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Oh, I finally remember now. The new world in the Ohkuboverse I created was meant for love and peace. But all of that love and peace go to waste when the Time Eater came and destroyed everything. Don't worry, I'll bring the love and peace back together when I wiil use my full potential and save the world from danger!

*RUMBLING*

Shinra the Devil Chaos : What's going on now?

Seto : Uh-oh. This is bad.

Solva : What now?

Darkside C's Voice : Shinra Kusakabe. The time has come. I will put an end to everything that you hold dearly.

Shinra the Devil Chaos : Oh no. It's the foolishness that I caused. I did all of this! What have I done. That wasn't part of the New World of the Ohkuboverse that I made.

Solva : Sounds like Trouble in Tokyo, but right there's more trouble than here in Tokyo, straight up to the moon where they are at. Come, Seto! We gotta find out the solution! Tsubaki, come along with us quickly! I bet your guardian Nightshade will come get you any time.

Tsubaki : Right.

Shinra the Devil Chaos : You guys go on ahead.

Seto : What about you, Shinra. Aren't you coming along with us?

Shinra the Devil Chaos : I got other plans to do back at the garden. I'm heading towards abandoned aircraft that crashed landed in the ocean during the Chaos incident in 1998. Doctor Eggman told me that I would head be heading over seas to a huge aircraft that he once built. I got meet an old friend who wields excalibur. Of course, we've been partners a long time ago in the Ohkuboverse, but now he's out there somewhere after his resurrection.

Seto : Right. You can count on us, if you want to. But don't forget who followed your footsteps of becoming the hero you are, Shinra Kusakabe.

Shinra : Thanks, I won't. *Jumps off and leaves*

Seto : Alright everyone, you two follow me! We're heading to the solution right now! *Seto runs off*

Solva & Tsubaki : Okay! *the two runs off as they leave Black Star*

Black Star : W-Wait! Tsubaki! Where are you running off to!? Don't leave me here! Please don't tell Bradley that I am off work from Square Enix for desertion that I told you this before! They'll fire me! Tsubaki?...WAAAAAIT!!!

Note

"At least with Persona, I can expect the world to keep going and expanding (either it's main continuity or the larger continuities in general)" I mean, you say that, but then P5 and its spinoffs happened and there sure weren't a buncha posts about how they conflict with/retcon various lore and story details no siree (tho that could also be the unhealthy side of hyperfixation, that does pop up)

I mean......I didn't specify that the expanding was always good and consistent. TT0TT Just that they at least put in the effort to keep building on it a little bit at a time. So I at least have a steady and manageable stream to work off of.

I feel like it's more of an issue of "this is a big franchise. They'll make goofs, have changes in creatives and writing teams. Sometimes they'll be conflicting info, sometimes it's retcons (replacement/override types and "additive" types)"

How angry I get might be more of the unhealthy side of the hyperfixation I gotta deal with. TT0TT But I'm aware goofs are gonna happen.

Avatar's gone through a lot of this, between the "nick extras" (I thought we all agreed that was bunk? but I saw some people using these more as facts recently?? TT0TT), the comics, Korra, and the new chronicle novels (and lord knows there's a bunch of other supplementary material nowadays too TT0TT)

My issue with P5 (ah, a statement as old as time 8U or is it a dead horse? ...or a broke record? Or all of the above? TT0TT) and it's spinoffs was just.....egregious tbh, that if they are retcons, it felt more akin to gaslighting than retconning TT0TT P5 even having issues within it's own game let alone the others so I'm like????? But hey, P3 has a timeline problem.....it annoys me a lot too, but at least I can be like "Atlus can't math, they mean 1999 not 2000 here, it's the 4 fucking iteration of P3 but they still can't fix it I see but whatever I'LL DO THE HEAVY LIFTING!"

That's a bit more doable, esp since it's one semi-consistent issue (makes me wonder if they meant for the game to take place in 2010 rather than 2009).

But yeah, both franchises have varying issues, esp because of their size. Same thing can be said about Harry Potter (fuck JK), which is famous for shitty retcons. And Naruto, which is famous for additive retcons.

All those are different than like.... say.....Addams' Family and it's spinoffs (and if anyone says different, they are wrong and don't know anything! 8U). Because, despite it also being a long running franchise, if you took a good hard look at each entry.......they all have diff canons. The have a lot of similarities, they share a lot of key canon similarities, but they don't share EVERYTHING. And they certainly don't execute things the same way (just look at the char Wednesday, there was a big shift in her key component as a char around the 90s!). So that's not really retcons or rewrites. It's literally just diff canons. TT0TT (ah I'm getting off topic so I'll just stop there).

TLDR; I only claimed that they got content (not that all the content was good or bad). Long running franchises will just have goofs, how bad they get varies. How annoyed I get varies depending on various factors, but yeah that can be part of the negative side of hyper fixation too sadly TT0TT

Angel: Welcome, Tom. You've made it to Heaven.

Tom: Wow, this is incredible! Is this really Heaven? Angel: Yes, it is. But before you meet God, there's something you should know.

Tom: What is it?

Angel: God may not be as you expect. Just keep an open mind and be ready for surprises.

[Suddenly an overweight man with dark circles under his eyes appears in a puff of confetti. He is wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, his exposed belly covered in what appears to be cheese dust from Cheetos. On his head, a pristine Naruto headband rests, and his feet are clad in flip-flops.]

Bob: Sup, dude! I'm Bob, the big guy upstairs! Nice to meet ya! Wubalubadubdub

Tom: (speechless) ... Did you just burp and are those cheetos on your belly?

Bob: (chuckles) Guilty as charged! Even deities get hungry sometimes. So, Tom, how's eternity treating you?

Tom: Uh, well, it's all new to me. I didn't expect Heaven to be like this.

I thought the post was pretty comprehensive. Well okay. I will bite.

I am a little embarrassed to talk about this panel but really what teenage girl sits like this with her father and acts coy like she is at some bar with her boyfriend? Look where the father's hand is, how casual it is, like it's not the first time that this is happening. He is drinking, so he is under the influence of alcohol and his wife is cheating on him. He comes off as a reprobate. The way he talks to his daughter (and about his wife) doesn't make it look like he has much respect for women.

Maybe it's different in the west, but this is very unusual in the east. Asian cultures do not allow this. In my country, once the girl turns seven or eight, she is not supposed to share a bed even with her brother or any other boy/man, it's considered inappropriate. Japanese society is no different in that sense, in fact, Japanese society has more rules and customs than most other cultures. The Japanese etiquette is pretty strict. Lots of things that might be considered casual and inoffensive in the west are deemed quite offensive and inappropriate in Japanese culture, and even a lot of other Asian cultures.

Secondly, perception. For any successful professional who works in the field of audio visual media, the understanding of perception is mandatory. I highly doubt Gege thought - "You know what, I am tired of showing the run of the mill father daughter dynamic, so this time I will add a bit of pizzazz and make it like an opening to a family strokes video."

Storytelling is about show not tell. If the author cannot show something explicitly for some reason, or if it's a controversial or stigmatised issue, he will find a way to show it and will provide subtext, he will manipulate the reader's eye and mind, to convey his point/intent. You just gotta have your eyes open. Naruto is a very good example of this. American syndication has rules against showing controversial themes (such as incest, homosexuality,etc), so their mainstream media made for kids cannot feature such themes explicitly. But there are many ways of passing stuff under the table, to avoid being censored. A lot of creators do this type of stuff, Gege won't be the first. If the writer is talented, he will find a way to do it. If he knows how perception works. Any good creator worth his salt does.

If you know how typography works, you can tell how important perception is. But yeah, you need to have a keen eye to notice it.

Also, problematic themes such as incest, pedophilia (such as Hisoka from hxh or Orochimaru from Naruto) might not feature in western mainstream media for kids but it's not so uncommon or unusual in Japanese media, even shounen. Yeah, it baffles me too. But well, it's better to accept it than be in denial.

Okay now to the scene with Ozawa.

So Ozawa asks for Nobara's help. Nobara passes it on to Fushiguro who knows Itadori better. He certainly does. But her action of passing the buck makes Ozawa think maybe she doesn't want to get involved because she likes Itadori herself. It's a pretty understandable reaction. But Nobara denies this with so much force. She is Itadori's friend and classmate, but she is not an emotional fool, or at least she tries not to be. She will not shed tears for any man. But as Ozawa puts this idea in her head, Nobara realizes something that she was probably denying before. It has happened to all of us at some point or the other. You know, you have a close friend, you do everything together, you have each other's back. Sometimes it develops into something more without your conscious knowledge. But the idea of it being 'romantic' doesn't occur to you. Until someone remarks on it. Or something else that triggers a realization. That's what happened here.

It's actually very sweet, typical of high school romance. Hehe. Her heart skips a beat. What does this indicate? When does your heart miss a beat? Look at the context. Gege is not even being cryptic about it. This is pretty clear unto itself that Nobara has feelings for Itadori that she hadn't consciously thought about until Ozawa asked, but the germination has happened. However, denial doesn't go right away, there is still some resistance. She is a 16 year old, self sufficient and confident girl after all, whose character doesn't revolve around a man, we can give her the benefit of doubt hehehe.

She is also kinda clueless, she thinks if it's arrhythmia, haha. What this tells us is that something like this has never happened to her before. Well she lived in a village before this and she hated the village people so this isn't so surprising. But now she knows that what she feels is something unusual. She 'realizes how she truly feels'. It's really not that cryptic. Gege has made 'connecting the dots' pretty easy here.

The idea of Yuuji getting a girlfriend really annoys her. Hehe. Why though? She has no malice towards Ozawa and yet she is a bit jealous. She knows Yuuji likes tall girls, there's a reason Ozawa was made to be tall.

Honestly, I am glad that Gege didn't make it toxic by showing Nobara being unkind to Ozawa, Ozawa is also shown as a mature and considerate girl. Gege is good at writing female characters, the ones that don't conform to gender roles, someone whose character doesn't revolve around men. It's a welcome relief honestly, knowing how shounen tropes work, especially when it comes to female characters. On average, his ladies are as badass and mature as his men.

Not that Kubo gets it. 😒

Anyway. So Nobara acts on it and she decides that she wants a boyfriend before Itadori gets a girlfriend, maybe to save face? Maybe to not feel stupid or embarrassed? It's completely understandable. Like I said, she is a teenager, she doesn't have a mature response to something like this, and it is fine. We get it. What I found sweet was that there was no malice in her. She actually helps Ozawa anyway.

Also, why do you think Gege chose to talk about all this? Why is there all this talk about girlfriend and romantic preferences? So if gege wanted to give us some information about the characters' feelings, would he just make the character say it? No. What he WOULD DO, is he will orchestrate a situation, bring in the relevant characters and an additional/new character if necessary, and with the already established character dynamics and character traits, he will give this information to the audience, so it will look organic and seamless. That's the mark of a good writer. Look at the choices the writer is making. Ozawa was written for this chapter and this chapter only. She is not a sorcerer, she is not related to any other character in the manga, she has no relevance in the upcoming chapters. So why did Gege write her here? Because a character was required in order to give certain information about Nobara's feelings for Itadori, and Itadori's own sexuality, and Megumi's response to it. Since it's pretty much implied that Megumi and Itadori are more than friends.

Any good writer doesn't do anything without a reason. Every panel counts. Always ask questions, why did he do it this way? Why did he make a certain choice? There's ALWAYS a reason. If you really pay attention, you will get it. But honestly, Gege has already killed Nobara in the manga, where I am at, so I don't know where it will go from here. Nobara's arc is unfinished but it's not like Gege is so concerned with that. However, with Gege, you really can't tell.

Lastly. Mai and Maki. I didn't say their relationship or the development of their dynamic was romantic or romance coded, I said the kiss was romantic. It was not a sisterly kiss. How many Japanese shows/films do you know where sisters kiss each other on the lips? Like I said, perception is key to understanding media. Not everything has to be said out loud, this is a visual medium. With the right context, everything can be understood. Gege said this about Mai.

Her first love might be MAKI?? Really Gege? Now why would you say something like that? It is weird.

What information do you get from this panel? That Mai had a crush. What's Gege telling us? That Mai had a romantic interest in someone. And in his description of Mai, he says her first love might be MAKI? Does that make sense? Humans are complex creatures. Depending on their circumstances, humans are capable of feeling things that might not be approved by society, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Feelings aren't rational.

Mai felt betrayed by Maki because Maki abandoned her. She once promised her she will not leave her alone in the cruel and inhuman Ze'nin household, but then she did.

Maki was everything for Mai. Her sister, brother, mother, father, friend, confidante. They only had each other. Maki protected her and took care of her. There was absolutely no one else Mai could rely on. Maki was her whole world. Mai didn't have an ambition, she didn't want to be a sorcerer. She just wanted to be happy, even if she had to live as a Ze'nin servant, but as long as she was with Maki, she was happy. That's all she wanted. Why is it so surprising to think she might have loved Maki romantically? When you feel that strongly for someone, is it really possible to draw lines? Human beings are humans first, the conditional aspects of human relationships come after that. Some relationships are so intense and multifaceted, they aren't definable. They don't fit into a clean cut category. Which is fine.

Mai meeting Takada and finding it so exciting, is omake, not canon, but even Mappa followed suit. Hehe. They get it.

However Gege did say in an interview that when Mai talks to women, it appears like they are dating. What could he mean?? It's really not that cryptic.

Good writers, and Gege is one, know how to write their characters. How to establish them, their role in the story, their character traits which are generally drawn out with the help of a second character (s) who needs to be different from them in their core character aspects, so as to bring out the contrast and conflict even better. He calls it dissonance between characters. See how he explains their characters and their dynamic.

You can see this dissonance between other characters such as Geto and Gojo, Itadori and Megumi, Maki and Yuuta, Gojo and Nanami, Jogo and Mahito, etc etc.

And lastly, now that I have talked about the relevance of the author's intent and the specific mindful choices he makes, don't you think Gege could have shown the transfer of cursed energy by doing literally ANYTHING ELSE.

Why a kiss?

Two things :

1) That one needs to kiss is NOT established or hinted at in the manga before, like at all. So it's not like it is a rule that Gege had to abide by; that two characters HAD to kiss for the transfer to happen. He was under no such limitations. He could have literally shown the transfer ANY OTHER WAY. So why choose a kiss to do it? It means that it says something extra, no? Because like I said, sisterly bonds are hardly ever shown with a kiss like this. Not in Japanese media at least. I have seen it in that American film, My sister's keeper, but the contexts are completely different.

Perception is key to understanding media. The more developed one's understanding is, the better the perception is. And understanding can be developed. Writers have to have a very keen sense of perception in order to be a good one.

2) Look at the timing and the circumstances. Mai is sacrificing her life. It's the last thing she will do in her life for the person that means the most to her, more than even herself. This is important, this is significant. If you loved someone, and if you were about to give up your life for them, wouldn't you want to let them know before you died? Like Hinata does in Pein arc (even if her case is twisted). Or when Sasuke does it in the Land of waves arc. Why is it so difficult to believe? Fiction writing is about suspension of disbelief, and to make it possible, the author has to make it believable, no? And what happens here is entirely believable. We already know how Mai feels about her own predicament and Maki.

Plus it's not like there aren't other examples of incest in this manga. So I don't see why people are having such a hard time believing it. Hehe.

I know when fans don't like something or approve of something, or when something makes them uncomfortable, they choose to deny it. Despite all the glaring evidence. I get it. But I think it's much better to accept it. It enhances the way one consumes media, it makes them understand it more and hence enjoy it more, to its optimum level.

when you talk about incest, you mean between mai and maki? it’s funny, because while gege dis portray them sharing a kiss, the way it was made, i didn’t feel like it was romantic… more like it was supposed to represent trough closeness that maki and mai are two parts of the same person, since they’re twins and all. but yeah it definitely can seem disturbing at first lol 😅

It's more than that. Not only Mai is shown to be having a crush, which she doesn't tell Maki about, but also at Todo's request, she goes to see Takada, that pop icon, and she is thrilled. Her reaction to Takada does not look platonic at all. Also the kiss itself doesn't seem platonic. I think Gege meant it to be romantic or at least sus. With Takada, Gege made a point to show Mai being attracted to a woman and not a man. She is also shown to voluntarily talk about her romantic interest, which means she certainly has one. And she kisses Maki on the lips at such a tragic moment when Mai sacrifices her life for Maki's sake, which I simply cannot deny, is quite unconventional and not used to depict sisterly feelings. I think it's romantic. And hence incestuous.

There are other instances with incestuous themes.

And this too. Imo.

Plus, Mai won't be the only person in the manga who is 'not straight'. Megumi is pointedly shown to prefer 'person' over a girl. This is not even that cryptic, it's Gege telling us he likes men, and not women. Itadori is pointedly shown as confused about his preferences. Like yes, he likes tall girls with big heads or whatever, but he picked Ozawa of all the girls in his class when his friends asked him to pick. He was quite nonchalant about it, even though he knew the context of the questions, but he still did not objectify a woman like a straight boy would probably have done, when he easily could have. He has a poster of a girl, but no girlfriend, instead he is very close to Megumi. Megumi is the first name on his lips no matter who else is there, when he is concerned. When Todo asks him the question about what kind of women he likes, he is baffled and he doesn't really think about his answer the way Megumi does, he just gives the same answer he had been giving his school friends, but he still picks Ozawa, a short girl. Who is then pointedly shown to have grown tall. But Itadori is still not romantically interested in her. Itadori is also pointedly shown to be indecisive. Gege has described Itadori as indecisive. There is so much conversation around the height of Itadori's prospective mate, and some emphasis is also put on Megumi's tall and lean build and big head lol, and all this is deliberate. Plus, Itadori and Megumi show accountability towards each other, Gege shows them taking stock of their feelings for each other and acting accordingly. Of course it's not black and white, but I am sure Gege is telling us something here. He is being cryptic, like Kishi was. That whole episode started with Itadori talking about the worm man movie, and its theme is 'love'. This is foreshadowing. And then the episode shows Ozawa liking Itadori but not able to do anything about it until just then. Nobara is shown to have feelings for Itadori. And Megumi is shown as the person closest to Itadori, like c'mon, they were together for a mere two weeks and they were already making meatballs together. They spend time with each other outside missions, their rooms are right next to each other, they know how the other person thinks and acts, what they like and dislike. That whole episode shows how close Itadori and Megumi are, and it's not the only instance. Gege is certainly showing us more than he is telling. Once I finish the manga, at least the current chapters, maybe I can write about it in more detail.

But well, jjk world is not as old fashioned/traditional as Naruto world. The characters aren't so prejudiced or narrow minded as they are in Naruto. Well except for people inside the clan system, jjk folks are more open to express themselves, less bound by convention. They are all practically crazy, they have got to be, and they own it. It's more healthy than what Naruto's characters do. And there are people like Gojo to guide them, a good leader (unlike Kakashi) who fights the corruption and obsolete convention of their world, who will fight for his students, who will empathize and try to understand them without judging them harshly, and won't deprive them of the simple pleasures of youth.

I can't surely say that Gojo and Geto are also of the same inclination, but I guess it's a little ambiguous the more I look into it. Since Gege is a fan of non linear storytelling, one can certainly expect to see more in that direction and I am still reading the manga. Well, what I can say is that there's more reason to think SatoSugu are romantic than not. So I will wait.

I think Gege knows what Naruto the story is about. He knows. It's like he is trying to break specific shounen conventions with his manga...

More Reading Thoughts: The Passage of the Marshes

Gollum has a very distinct gait in my mind. Sort of like a bent-over run (Naruto Run LOL) that occasionally transitions into an all-fours gallop and then back up again on two speedy little legs. If I were any better at animating, I’d be able to show you all.

Lots of descriptions of Gollum’s eyes: the eerie gleam in them when he mentions fish, and the way they bug out and give a greenish light when Frodo asks if he’s hungry. I wish I could think of a way to draw these things.

Sam whispers to Frodo. Frodo answers out loud. Both of them know what Gollum can hear them and deal with it in exactly opposite ways. Tag yourself, I’m Frodo.

Gollum: Promises not to throttle you in your sleep but totally would. Sam: Promises he will throttle you in your sleep but actually wouldn’t.

“He restrained the thoughts of his sword and the rope that sprang to his mind, and went and sat down by his master.” Next paragraph: “When he woke up…” Me: *SPITS DRINK*

It really do be like that sometimes LOL

“Don’t think of any of your Gaffer’s hard names.” So question: when Sam told the whole story to Frodo, did he mutter under his breath “my old Gaffer would have a thing or two to say about…”, or did Frodo just know that Sam was internally calling himself ninnyhammer? Because both are fantastic.

“But Samwise Gamgee, my dear hobbit—indeed, Sam my dearest hobbit, friend of friends—” *lies on my face* *lies on my face* *LIES ON MY FACE* *LIES ON MY—*

“He took his master’s hand and bent over it. He did not kiss it, though his tears fell on it.” *lies on my face and SCREEEEEAAAMS*

(I got so worked up over this that I accidentally published this post instead of saving it in drafts and I had to delete it and write the whole thing over again LOL)

MY BOYS

MY LADSSSSS

LEAVE ME ALONE I’M EMOTIONAL

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH I FREAKING D I E

Also this just solidifies for me that Frodo’s love language is “words of affirmation” and Sam’s are “acts of service” and “physical touch”. And like. Wow. Could you choose a more potent combination to absolutely kill me on the spot.

I’m gonna have to scream about this more in another post otherwise this one will get too long

Gotta say, based on the description in the book, I think the movies captured the Dead Marshes really well. Maybe a bit too well.

*Gollum voice* No, no nice crunchable birdses.

Frodo. Frodo why is there slime and water on your hands. Frodo we’re in the Dead Marshes. Frodo what did you do.

“Three precious little Gollums in a row we shall be, if this goes on much longer.” Sam’s sass is the only thing keeping me going right now.

Not me looking up Tolkien Gateway and comparing dates to see whether it was an Eagle that scattered the clouds above the Dead Marshes. (Spoiler: No, no it probably wasn’t.)

But that does raise the question: Can the Ringwraiths control the weather? Already we had one appear along with a storm while Frodo and Sam were on the Emyn Muil, and now we have one that comes with a change of the wind. Coincidence?? Who knows??

Boy, this is a bleak chapter. I’m running out of funny or clever things to say. I think I’m beginning to feel as sapped as Frodo does….

“Lord Sméagol? Gollum the Great? The Gollum! Eat fish every day, three times a day, fresh from the sea. Most Precious Gollum!” It’s simultaneously adorable and horrifying that eating fish all day is Gollum’s highest dream and aspiration, and yet he’s still the most pressing and immediate danger to the hobbits and the fate of Middle Earth. I’m taking mental notes that the most dangerous antagonist doesn’t have to be the one with the biggest ambitions.

Man, I almost wish they’d included the “diseased, poisoned” field between the Marshes and Mordor in the films. I’d want to see how they’d capture it. I’m seeing something like the Spike Field of the Long-Time Nuclear Waste Warning Messages, pocketed with steaming pits of gasoline.

“Gollum welcomed him with dog-like delight. He chuckled and chattered, cracking his long fingers, and pawing at Frodo’s knees. Frodo smiled at him.” This after he was arguing with himself whether or not to kiLL FRODO. NOPE, NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

#gollum #frodo baggins #samwise gamgee #lord of the rings #lotr #my writing #assorted thoughts #this post is the one that was gonna have the invisible long-time nuclear waste warning messages text #settled for a drawing instead

Your Life with the Naruto Boys... As a Romcom!

This is probably my most crack fic idea ever and I don’t know if any of this will make any sense to someone who doesn’t have the displeasure of living in my brain...

But! I literally could not stop thinking of this, so I had to just do it. Enjoy!

Warnings: fluffy, such a crack idea, ow! minor heartache, comfort fic, spoilers for: When Harry Met Sally, The Proposal, and La La Land.

Mentions: Shikamaru, Kiba, and Sasuke

Shikamaru: When Harry Met Sally (f!reader)

Alright, listen up everyone. There are two things in life of which I am absolutely certain:

1. Shikamaru is a sweetheart.

2. He knows how to drive you FUCKING INSANE.

Like we’re talking so angry you throw things, kick and scream, and slam doors INSANE... Until, you get to know him.

Once that man lets you into his heart, you become his life. Suddenly, you’re all he can think about. Sometimes, he even forgets that he wants to smoke - because he is too busy thinking about what it would be like to kiss you, to hold you, to finally let someone get close to him.

There’s just one, tiny problem...

You are his best. fucking. friend.

I mean more than even Choji type of best friend. Yeah, you’re a girl. But so what? Shikamaru can tell you anything. He can get your advice on things. And he’d never admit it, but he sort of likes having a woman’s perspective on stuff (especially when it’s a woman who he respects).

You used to loathe him. For ten years, you hated him. Thought he was a misogynistic asshole who didn’t have any respect for women. But once you got to know him, that was when you discovered how much of a sweetheart he was. How charming he could be. How kind and caring he could be. You told him everything and he became your one constant in life.

And then, after two years of friendship, it just sort of... happened. One minute, he’s comforting you about your ex and the next he’s in-between your thighs, grinning up at you like the devil himself, whispering about how long he’s waited for this.

You never thought that Shikamaru would ignore you after that night - after the long nights of staying up on the phone together watching your favorite movie, after telling him your secrets and listening to his, after longing stares across the room while you each talked to your individual friends - but he did, he ignored you. For months. And it fucking hurt.

After weeks of trying to call you, to explain himself to you, to scream at you about why this was so hard for him... he couldn’t take it anymore. He had to tell you.

He ran to the New Years Eve party like a madman and went straight to you. He yelled at you, in his oddly soothing and so-very-Shikamaru yell that wasn’t actually loud at all.

“I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

Kiba: The Proposal (f!reader)

Alright... so this was a weird day. First, he’s running super late and getting berated by his smoking hot boss. Then, not even three hours into his shift, he’s marrying her.

Look, he doesn’t like this either but a man’s gotta eat! If his boss gets deported, then Kiba’s out of a job and that is just not an option right now. So, that’s why he agreed to it and is now sitting with the woman who has made his life nothing but a living hell on an incredibly long flight back to his parent’s house.

You assure Kiba that this is only temporary, that you can file for a divorce after a year or two. In the meantime, he gets a huge promotion and gets the opportunity to open his own vet clinic after the divorce. It’s a win-win, really. He’d be an idiot not to do it... right?

***

He’s supposed to hate you, so why does this feel so shitty? After everything you’d admitted to him that weekend, after the kiss that caused sparks to ignite in his stomach and left him speechless, after telling him about your past, after going through with the whole thing, all the way up to the alter... Why are you confessing? Why here?

“I’m sorry to everyone, but...” You look at Kiba with tears in your eyes. “Kiba, I am especially sorry to you. You’re a good man.”

And then you ran away!

Kiba takes the next flight back to the office and barges through the doors right as you’re packing up your things to leave. You stare at him in complete bewilderment.

His chestnut hair is clinging to his sweaty forehead, his strong hands balled into fists on either side of his hips as he strides up to you. His chest is heaving and his eyes are wild.

“Kiba, why are you panting?”

“Because I’ve been running. I need to talk to you.”

“Yeah,” You say. “Well, I don’t have time to talk. I need to catch a 3:00 out of Japan.”

“STOP. TALKING.” Kiba shouted, finally approaching you. He stood just a few feet away. “Just listen to me.”

“Three days ago, I loathed you. I used to dream about you getting hit by a cab... or poisoned.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

“I told you to stop talking. Then we had our little adventure together and things started to change. Things changed when we kissed, when you cried into my chest and told me about your past. They changed even when you checked me out when you saw me naked. When I realized I sort of liked it.” He grinned.

“Well, I didn’t see anything...”

“Yeah, you did. But I didn’t realize any of this until I was standing alone in a barn. Wifeless. Now, you can imagine my surprise when it suddenly dawned on me that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country. So,”

Kiba gets on one knee and says you name slowly, looking up at you with his mischievous eyes.

“Marry me, because I’d like to date you.”

Sasuke: La La Land (gn!reader)

“So, you agree?” He asked, striding over towards the bench.

“That’s right,” You replied.

“What a waste of a lovely night.”

The two of you spoke in unison, like you’d rehearsed this. As the sunset faded behind you and the town lit up beneath you like stars, you sat together and let the tension seep into your souls.

Sasuke held something over you; it was something dangerous and alluring, a string that connected you together. The closer you got to him, the more taut the string became.

He took you all around town. You fell in love despite yourself. Your careers were both demanding, pulling the two of you in opposite directions, but you stayed together as long as possible.

You cried into his shoulders, he gave himself to you fully in ways he had never done with anyone else; the time you spent together was haunting and beautiful and real, but in the end, the timing was wrong.

“Please,” Sasuke was outside of your apartment as you brought the bags to your car. He said your name like a sacred hymn, repeating it gently. “I’m sorry. Let me make it up to you.”

“You’re sorry...” You repeated, tears welling in your eyes. “You’re sorry.” You scoffed, letting your arms fall to your side as you leaned against your car.

He knew this show was important to you; he knew it was critical to your career that it be a success. He knew you wanted your boyfriend there: for support, for comradery, for a lifeline that only he could give... and he missed it.

He missed it for his own career gain, and that was what hurt the most. That he chose himself over you; that he chose his career over yours. He would never see you as equal. And this proved it.

“I’m sorry,” He agreed, stepping closer to you. “Let me make it up to you.”

“It’s over.” You were surprised at how naturally the worlds tumbled out of you, how easy it was to say. You felt tension lift from your shoulders as the air in your head cleared for the first time in months. “It’s over.”

Now, ten years later, you walk into a tiny club on a random date night with your husband. The children have a babysitter, and you two can just enjoy the evening together like you did years ago.

Sasuke sits at the piano, the spotlight illuminating his moonlight skin, as he plays the love song he wrote for you all those years ago. Memories flood over you, transporting you into a fairytale of “what if’s” and “if only’s” as he plays the familiar melody.

The world spins around you like a top when the song finally ends. Applause from the audience and your husband suck you back into reality, but your eyes are locked on Sasuke. He hasn’t seen you yet.

“Do you want to stay for another?” Your husband leans over, puts his hand on yours. It feels cold, your body is hot; pain in your veins, ringing in your ears.

“No,” You murmur. “We should go.”

You turn around before you leave the club, your eyes connecting onto Sasuke’s familiar dark gaze. You stare at each other for awhile. His face slowly lights up and his lips ghost upwards as your eyes smile at him.

He looks content and he gives you a small nod. The look you share says more than words ever could. I loved you then. I love you still. I’ll love you forever.

You feel hot tears well in your eyes as you give him a sad smile. Your eyes stay locked onto each other as his face falters and falls. The final look between you translates to: maybe in another life, my love.

Sasuke lets his gaze linger on you as you turn away from him. Maybe for the last time, maybe not. He smiles as he counts the band down for the next number, reflecting on his stroke of serendipity, as he starts playing his last song of the night.

The first note of the song hits your ears as you glance up to your husband at the top of the stairs. His lovely mouth is formed into his signature grin, his hand extended towards you. You smile as you take his hand in yours, not looking back.

A Misunderstanding

⋇✦ Pairing: Kiba Inuzuka x Reader

⋇✦ Genre: fluff; one shot

⋇✦ Synopsis: You and Kiba were getting close until Naruto got in the way. If you ask Kiba, Naruto ruins everything.

⋇✦ CW: none

⋇✦ Length: 3.6k+

⋇✦ Inspiration: request by @writing-x-reader

If there was one person in Konoha who could push Kiba’s buttons just right, it was Naruto. Everything about that twerp pissed Kiba off. He was loud (so was Kiba), obnoxious (so was Kiba), arrogant (again, Kiba), and everytime he opened his big mouth, Kiba wanted to pop him. Naruto had always got on Kiba’s nerves, and after their fight in the preliminaries of the chunin exam, even more so. He couldn’t believe he lost to a wimp like that!

In reality, though the two would never admit it, they were just a little bit too alike in all of the worst ways. And apparently, that drifted over to their taste in women.

“Naruto, stop!” You giggled, thrashing in his arms. Naruto had come up to you from behind, wrapping his arms around you and picking you up.

“You gotta go in sometime! I’m just helping.” Naruto teased as he attempted to drop you into the water you’d been avoiding submerging yourself in. To keep from falling in, you wrapped your arms tightly around his neck, your legs doing the same around his waist. The two of you were cracking up with laughter. Naruto was spinning around, trying to loosen his grip.

What actually ended up happening was the big idiot tripped, losing his balance and sending you both splashing into the waves. You came up spluttering, spitting out water and splashing him, all the while a big smile was on your face.

“Naruto, stop,” Kiba mocked to himself in a high pitched voice with a roll of his eyes. He crossed his arms, leaning back on his towel, unable to tear his eyes away from the sickeningly cute scene. “Give me a break.”

Akamaru gave a small bark that came out more like a high pitched whine. It was a sound that basically said: you’re a jealous baby. Kiba shot his canine companion a glare. “Yeah, what do you know? It’s not like you’ve ever had a girlfriend.” He pointed out.

“Are you seriously arguing with Akamaru about a girl?” Ino huffed as she laid her towel out next to Kiba’s. She lounged onto her stomach, resting her head on her folded arms. “Put some sunblock on my back, will you? I don’t want to burn.” Kiba rolled his eyes, but complied with his friends requested. He squirted the sunblock into his hands, rubbing it between them before massaging it into Ino’s shoulders.

She hummed happily.

“What are you over here pouting about, anyways?” Ino asked Kiba. “We’re at the beach! It’s the first time we’ve all had off in like, forever! You should be enjoying yourself. Not crying over some girl.”

Huffing, Kiba finished lathering Ino’s back before he flopped out onto his own towel. “I’m not crying over some girl!” He argued. “Naruto’s just annoying! He’s so loud; why does he want the whole beach to hear what he’s doing!?” His point was made as a high pitch scream came from the ocean. Naruto practically flew out of the water before he realized it was only seaweed that his foot had touched. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly as you tossed the offending object away.

Ino laughed, rolling to her side and propping her head up in her hand. “Give it a rest already, would ya?” She teased him. “Yeah, Naruto’s annoying, but you’re not gonna fool anyone pretending that that’s the reason you’re in such a bad mood.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kiba muttered.

“Oh come on. You’ve been in love with her for like, ever. It’s getting embarrassing at this point.” Ino glanced over to where you and Naruto were still playing in the waves. “What’s so great about her anyways?”

Wasn’t that the question?

Kiba had had a crush on you since your academy days. You were cute, strong, and always so active. Kiba really liked that. You guys had spent a lot of time together before graduating the academy and being placed on separate teams tore you apart.

The two of you had always gotten along really well. Once you were both chunin, you got sent on plenty of missions together. It was just more alone time to get to know you better and for his little crush to turn into something more.

He’d been planning on asking you out sooner; he really was! But despite how confident, borderline cocky, Kiba pretended to be, he was actually really nervous about the whole thing.

What if you rejected him!? Not only that, but what if you rejected him and then got weird around him? Didn’t want to talk to him anymore?

So he’d decided to put it off, focus on getting to know you more and try and gage and see if maybe you felt the same way about him. There were plenty of times where he did think you returned his feelings. When you laughed a little too long at his joke or played with your hair as you talked or touched his arm while you walked by… But he knew you were just a nice, friendly person who was easy to get along with.

What if he had just misread your signals?

Kiba figured he had plenty of time; he wasn’t too stressed about it. But he should have been.

Because just like that, Naruto was home, and everything had changed. It took him off guard. He didn’t recall you and Naruto being particularly close when you were younger, but once he got home you two became almost inseparable. You were always together, always hanging out and talking with your inside jokes. And just like that, you slowly drifted from Kiba’s life. His spot was quickly filled by Naruto, and he couldn’t see a place where he fit in your life anymore.

Now, for example. How was he supposed to go out and talk to you when you were so wrapped up in Naruto? It would just be weird, like he was intruding on something.

“Worry about yourself…” Kiba finally muttered to Ino, putting his head down. This beach trip sucked.

Ino rolled her eyes, pushing herself to her feet. “Cmon,” She told Kiba, kicking his side lightly. “Get up. I’m not gonna let you just mope over here all day.

It took some poking and pushing, but finally Kiba caved, getting up to go along with whatever it was that Ino wanted him to do. And honestly? That was the best decision. She kept him busy with the rest of their friends, playing volleyball and football and swimming in the ocean. Once Kiba got swimming, it wasn’t so bad anymore. He was still bummed about you and Naruto, the only two of the group not joining in on the fun. The two of you were content to hang out on your own.

But Kiba was able to let himself get distracted and have a good time. By the time the sun was starting to go down, he was exhausted and starving, ready for the bonfire you all planned.

“Let’s go get some firewood,” Ino nudged Kiba who nodded in response. There was a beach front store not too far off that sold some. “See, now that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Ino asked as they walked. “You just need some fun and sun to make it all better.” She winked at him.

Kiba laughed, rolling his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I give. You were right.” He admitted with reluctance. “It’s just weird, though. Are those two just so in love that they can’t even come and hang out with their friends? Like, cmon…”

Ino sighed. She guessed Kiba wasn’t completely over it, but she couldn’t help but agree. “It was really weird. Like, we were all supposed to be spending time together and hanging out, but they just stayed off in their own little world… They could’ve done that anywhere.” She shrugged.

Kiba felt validated by Ino’s agreement which made him feel a little bit better about the whole thing. “Yeah, whatever. I don’t even care anymore.” He lied as they bought firewood before heading back to the group. Ino cocked her head at him. She didn’t believe him for a second, but would let him pretend for now.

Once they returned to everyone else, the group made quick work of getting a bonfire started. The hotdogs were pulled out with the old wire coat hangers to roast them with. It was the best part of the beach trip, when everyone would wind down after a crazy, exciting day and just get to relax with one another.

There was always the inevitable pairings that happened too. There was something about the beach air that made people want to cozy up in front of the fire and share some intimate moments.

Kiba was one of them.

But looking around, you still weren’t by the campfire, a fact that caused Kiba to frown because--surprise surprise--neither was Naruto.

His mind was running wild with thoughts of what the two of you could possibly be doing.

After a short while, the two of you did appear, walking up the sand from the water. Kiba’s eyes were locked on the place where Naruto’s arm was wrapped around your waist. He narrowed his eyes. Well, in his mind, that settled it. You and Naruto were obviously together, no question. The realization hit Kiba like a blow to the stomach.

This sucked.

To make matters worse, you were heading right for him.

Naruto helped you as you lowered yourself down besides Kiba at the campfire. “I’m gonna grab us some sticks and hot dogs,” he said, leaving you and Kiba alone.

“Hey,” you smiled at Kiba. “I’ve barely seen you all day. Are you having a good time?”

Kiba glanced at you, inwardly groaning. God, why did you have to be so pretty? So sweet? His heart was fluttering just looking at you and then instantly felt like he was being snapped in two thinking about you being with Naruto.

“Yeah, just dandy.” Kiba muttered, looking back to the food on his plate and surprising you with his shortness. He never shut down conversations with you like that.

“Uh, well, what have you been doing?” You tried. Kiba only shrugged in response.

“Hanging out.” And awkward silence followed.

Ino watched the painful scene as she stood next to Sakura. “This is pathetic,” she sighed, smacking her forehead. “He’s like a hurt puppy! He needs reinforcements…” She took her own plate, walking over and plopping herself down at Kiba’s side. “Nice of you to join us,” Ino teased you, leaning over Kiba’s shoulder.

Your eyes lingered over the closeness between the two before looking away. “Yeah.” Is all you said.

Naruto came back with two hot dogs on a stick, handing one to you, oblivious to the awkward tension lingering in the air. “Here you go,” He grinned, sitting beside you. Kiba didn’t miss the way you perked up at Naruto’s presence. He rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to Ino.

The night lingered on and did his best to ignore your and Naruto’s presence you despite sitting right next to him.

Ino, in defense of Kiba, played up her platonic affection with him. She did say she’d be his reinforcements, after all. She laughed just a little louder at the jokes he told and touched his arm just slightly more than normal. While making smores, she even took the mushy marshmallow from her stick and fed it to Kiba, licking her fingers off after.

For your part, you moved in closer to Naruto, uncomfortable and burning green with envy. Couldn’t those two get a room? Did they absolutely need to do this here, in front of everyone?

And of course, what’s a bonfire without games?

“Tenten, truth or dare?”

“Truth.” “If you had to kiss one person in this group, who would it be?”

Cue the blushing and whooping as Lee nudged Neji playfully.

“I dare myself to eat all the crackers!” “Choji, that’s not how you play!”

“Ino, truth or dare?”

“Dare, obviously.”

“I dare you to go skinny dipping in the ocean!”

Ino pushed to her feet, tossing her hair over her shoulders. “No problem!” Everyone cheered, jumping up after her to walk down to the water.

Kiba watched Naruto pull you to your feet, again placing his arm around your waist. He scoffed in annoyance, stomping down to the sand and leaving you behind.

Once everyone was down there, all eyes on Ino expectantly. She stared back, eating up the attention. Her eyes scanned the group before landing on Kiba. “I need a partner, though.” She said, grabbing Kiba’s hand and pulling him with her.

Kiba grinned, shooting a glance your way. If you were with Naruto, you probably didn’t care what he did, but he wanted to make sure you were watching either way.

“Let’s do it.”

Again, everyone cheered as Kiba and Ino began to strip, tossing their clothes to the floor and taking off into the ocean. “Fuck it’s cold!” Kiba yelled as he splashed into the waves, laughing. They probably stayed inside the water for less than a minute, but when they came back out, you and Naruto were gone.

Of course.

Kiba wasn’t having too much fun after that. Everyone headed back to the bonfire. Kiba took a seat far away from you, but couldn’t help but notice the way Naruto was shooting him glares. It went that way for about another hour when night had fallen completely.

Kiba did his best to ignore Naruto, but he couldn’t do it anymore. He wanted to pound that idiot into the floor.

Finally, Kiba pushed to his feet, ignoring the looks he got from everyone else as he stomped over to where you sat with your head leaning on Naruto’s shoulder. “You got a problem?” He spat at the blonde.

Naruto glowered up at Kiba, not moving from his spot with you next to him. “Beat it, Kiba.” He snapped back. “You’re not wanted over here.” Kiba looked at you, but you had your eyes locked on the bonfire, refusing to glance in his direction. He gritted his teeth, looking back to Naruto.

“You wanna run that by me again, douchewad? Or too busy being obsessed with your little girlfriend?” Kiba didn’t mean to drag you into anything or to be a jerk to you specifically, but he was so mad. So mad from watching you cuddle up to Naruto, be all lovey dovey with him and just forget about your friendship completely! How could you do that to him?

Naruto was on his feet in a second, shoving Kiba. “You better leave her out of it,” he warned.

“Or what?”

You’d had about enough of this. You struggled to your feet, wincing slightly. “Can you knock it off!?” You snapped at Kiba, startling him with the harshness of your tone. “You’ve been a jerk all day! You don’t need to come over here and start shit!”

Kiba crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes as he looked at you. He was hurt by your words, but of course he didn’t want to show it. “You’re one to talk!”

With a frustrated yell, you surprised him by taking his hand and pulling him after you. “H-hey,” He stuttered, but you ignored him, continuing to pull him until the two of you got down to the water. “Hey, you’re limping.” He noticed suddenly.

You stopped, dropping his hand and turning to face him. “Yeah, I’m limping. I stepped on a sea urchin earlier. Naruto practically had to carry me back up to the bonfire it hurt so much.

Kiba stared at you, blinking as the realization slowly crept in. “Oh… Was that why Naruto had his arm around you earlier?” He asked, almost sheepishly.

Cocking an eyebrow, you tilted your head. “Huh? Yeah, why?” You asked, confused by his observation.

He blushed, glancing away from you over to the ocean, grateful for the dark to hide his red face. “No reason…”

With a sigh, you crossed your arms. “Kiba, what is going on with you? You’ve barely even looked my direction all day. When you do talk to me, you act like a jerk. What gives? Did I do something that upset you?”

Kiba sighed, running his hands through his hair, trying to decide what to do. Was this really a conversation he was ready to have? Probably not. But it looked like he didn’t have a choice. It was now or never.

“Look, I know I haven’t talked to you much today, but you’ve been so wrapped up with Naruto. Pretty much every day you’re wrapped up with him! We were getting so close and then the second Naruto came home, you dropped me! Whatever, I get you have a boyfriend and all, but that doesn’t mean you have to just forget about me, does it?”

He sighed, shoving his hands in the pockets of his swim trunks. There, it was out. He was beyond embarrassed by the conversation, but he said it. Now you knew.

You blinked, a little confused as you processed Kiba’s words. “Boyfriend?” You asked him. “Kiba, Naruto’s not my boyfriend.”

Looking back at you, he frowned. “Then why have you been by his side all day instead of hanging out with me?”

“You were with Ino all day!” You pointed out. “I didn’t want to go over there and ruin your good time.”

“I was only with Ino cause you were with Naruto!” Kiba countered. “All day! And you two were disappearing together, and then when he had his arm around you, well, I thought it was ‘cause you two were together! And then you were all cuddled up on him, and he was glaring at me… What was I supposed to think?!”

It was quickly becoming clear to you what had happened. You couldn’t help but snicker just a little bit, making Kiba frown even more. “What’s so damn funny!?”

Now it was your turn to blush. Cheeks red, you looked to the sand, fidgeting nervously with your hands. There was something you’d wanted to tell Kiba for a long time, but you weren’t sure if you were ready. Things had been so weird lately; the timing never seemed right. But after the mess that was today, the two of you were together, in the sand, staring at the ocean waves; it seemed like the perfect moment was now.

“Kiba, Naruto spent all day trying to make me feel better… You were so flirty with Ino, rubbing in her sunscreen; I didn’t want to see that. So when you all went off together, we stayed on our own so I wouldn’t have to see her all over you. Then she was feeding you marshmallows. You even went skinny dipping with her! Naruto’s just been a good friend today. That’s it.”

Realization was slowly dawning over Kiba. He crossed his arms, cocking an eyebrow as he stared down at you. “Really?” He muttered, a smirk slowly starting to pull it’s way over his lips. “And why do you care whether or not Ino flirts with me, huh?”

Your face went red. “Why do you care if Naruto’s my boyfriend!?” You shot back at him.

The two of you locked eyes, staring each other down and willing the other person to be the first to break. But Kiba had already been on the edge all day long, and he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Maybe I wanted to be your boyfriend…” He grumbled reluctantly, averting his eyes from yours.

He didn’t see it, but a grin broke out over your face. Had he really just said that? You were suddenly giddy with excitement, bouncing on your toes as you began to laugh.

“You can just say no, ya know! You don’t gotta laugh!” Kiba snapped, shooting you a glare, but you just shook your head, throwing your arms around him to hug him.

Just like Kiba, you'd been hoping for this moment for so long! Meeting Kiba in the academy had been one of your favorite parts of the whole experience; definitely the most memorable. He'd been one of the people you were most excited to see. There was a point after where you hardly saw him, but once you started going on missions together, everything changed for you.

There's something about those late night conversations when everyone is asleep that brings people closer. You get to know someone in the dark better than you ever do in the day.

But your days together weren't so bad either. It didn't take spending too much time with Kiba before you started to catch feelings. He was so funny and witty; you couldn't deny you were attracted to that couldn't-care-less attitude. He just played it so cool, and he wasn't bad on the eyes either.

You'd wanted to tell him how you felt, but you were terrified that he didn't feel the same. Now those fears were out the window

”I’m not saying no, you idiot!” You teased him, looking up at him. “I do want to be your girlfriend!”

It took a moment for the words to sink in; for Kiba to really get what you were saying. When he did, he began to smile, hugging you back. “Wait, for real?” He asked, his cheeks flushed in pleasure. He couldn’t believe this! He’d wanted to ask you out for so long… Why had he wasted so much time being scared?

Kiba pulled away from the hug just enough so he could tangle his hand in your hair as he leaned down, brushing his lips softly against yours. You weren’t having any of that, grabbing him by his shirt and pulling him into you, kissing him deeper, which Kiba of course returned without hesitation.

Kissing you was everything he ever thought it would be. Your lips were soft, moving perfectly in time with his as you pressed yourself into him. God, he’d wanted this for so long. Kiba didn’t think anything would ever come close to the feeling he got being able to hold you in his arms. He didn’t want it to ever end.

When you finally broke apart, you were both grinning.

Kiba helped you limp back up the beach to the bonfire. This time, he didn’t mind when you sat next to Naruto. He sat on the other side of you, wrapping his arm around your shoulder as you leaned against him.

“About damn time!” Naruto cried out with an exasperated sigh. “Geez you two are annoying. I thought you’d never get together!”” “I hate to agree with Naruto…” Ino sighed from across the fire. “But he’s right. Though I do take some credit for this .” She smiled at Kiba.

You both rolled your eyes, but smiled nonetheless as Kiba leaned down to kiss you again. This was a long time coming, but you were worth the wait.

Note

Hi hun! Hope you’re doing well! Could a request a Shikamaru fic! I was thinking maybe it’s obvious to everyone that Shikamaru and Reader like each-other (except themselves of course). But a mission where they have to pretend to be a couple and they finally confess.

😘

Pretenders (Shikamaru x Reader)

A/N: another request. Im not super proud of this one, i really got stuck halfway through and i think that shows here. Thanks for requesting though, and hopefully you still enjoy. Trigger Warning for sexual assault.

word count: 6500

“So, you two set out on a mission tonight right?” Ino asked, leaning her cheek in her hand, nodding toward her two friends across the booth.

“Yep. Supposedly 3 weeks,” Y/N told her. “I won’t get to see you guys for so long.” The girl took a quick sip of her lemonade and sighed. It was a substantial amount of time. It’d been a while since she’d gone somewhere so intensive.

Shikamaru and Y/N had only a couple more hours before they were to be briefed on the details of otheir next mission and whisked away to a far away land for yet another tedious job. Y/N was perfectly fine with the premise of going on a 3 week mission, she’d been home too long and longed for some kind of adventure. She still wasn’t sure the caliber of the mission, nor did she even know where or what they were doing, but she was excited nonetheless.

Shikamaru, of course, wasn’t too fond of the entire idea. Yes, he was more than happy to find out his mission partner was Y/N L/N. Out of all the people he could have been paired with, she was most definitely the least annoying. He really felt like Kakashi had his back lately with missions, giving him ones that were semi decent, and sending him out with his friends. He was certainly grateful for the Hokage’s assignments.

Choji added from his spot near the wall, taking a second away from munching on his lunch. “It won’t be so bad. You guys have each other, after all. How could things get boring when you have your little girlfriend with you, Shikamaru, am I right?”

“Choji…” Shikamaru groaned, pressing his fingers to either side of his temples. These sorts of things borhered the hell out of him. The constant teasing from everyone, not just his teammates, but literally teachers, other squads, his mother, her grandmother. They weren’t dating. They never were dating.

Yet every person in this damned town was under the assumption there was something going on between them. Really, he was just trying to live his life.

Did he want to date her? Yes, a million times over, yes. She was literally perfect, he couldn’t imagine himself with anyone else. But was Y/N at all interested? Definitely not. She was more oblivious than Naruto was with Hinata, and that’s saying a lot. She seemed to ignore everyone when they made jokes, she thought all his measly attempts at flirting were just normal conversation even when he treated Ino completely differently. She wasn’t a dumb girl either. She was smart in her own right.

That’s why he’d begun to think she was maybe avoiding his advances on purpose. That she didn’t like him and she was trying to let him down easy. It was stupid really, and he wished she would just come out with it already, tell him to his face that she just wanted to be friends. It was frustrating, to say the least, but he kept trying.

He could safely say he hadn’t felt this way for another girl in his entire life, and he wouldn’t give up that easily. He really just wanted other people to mind their business. That’s the reason he shot down all the jokes and comments from his friends. They didn’t need to know about his lovelife, that was personal.

Ino smirked, tossing her ponytail over her shoulder and letting a laugh leave her lips. “Come on, Choji. You know how Shika feels about you teasing him.”

“Fine. But you gotta admit it’s funny.”

They continued on with their conversation, Shikamaru groaning at their jokes and the other two laughing the entire time. That was how it usually went. Y/N just listened quietly, sipping away at her lemonade. Those two, his teammates, they always made jokes, it was normal. She was constantly labeled Shikamaru’s girlfriend, and each time he denied it. Over and over again. He didn’t let a single instance slide by.

That’s how she knew to avoid the subject. To keep her feelings to herself. There was no point in confessing to him when he was already so adamant at keeping their relationship out of other people’s mouths. She was a troublesome girl, anyone who thought he saw her as anything different was delusional.

So she kept quiet, just listening.

Each time someone joked, her stomach would turn and she would wait for him to say something, for him to admit they were right, for him to get flushed in the cheeks, for him to reach out and hold her hand and confess his feelings, and each time she was let down brutally. After enough times getting her heart broken, it was only inevitable she give up this false hope. There was no digging her way into his cold heart. He was so closed off, to get inside...it seemed like an impossible feat.

She wasn’t willing to fight for him anymore. It was tiring, and they never got anywhere.

After enough time, she stopped crying herself to sleep. She stopped talking about her crush with Hinata and Ino when the boys weren’t around. She still looked at him with all the love she had to give. He was the best man she knew, how could she not. She just stopped wishing for something that wasn’t going to happen. She stopped investing so much of her time and energy into a useless, pointless dream.

She was tired of running endlessly in circles, over and over again. All because of his dumbass.

Maybe with time, she could try and get over him. With time she could learn to like him the same way as all their other friends. It was always just the little things that would pull her back in every time. It was the walks home at night when she was tired, or she had too many drinks and he’d wrap his arm around her waist and hold her so tight to his side she could feel his heart beating. It was the times he’d lay beside her in the grass and run his fingers through her hair splayed out over the ground. It was the times he would hold her silently as she cried for her mother and father who’d died, and he would rub her back until she could breathe again.

Every single fucking time she got close, the moments she felt she might not be desperately in love with him anymore, he came right in and stole her heart again. It wasn’t his fault, he was just being a good friend, but God, did it hurt sometimes.

And it wasn’t Ino and Choji’s fault for talking about it. It was so fucking obvious she liked him. Y/N followed Shikamaru around like a lost puppy half the time, what else were they supposed to think? They were just wrong in their assumptions that she was anything more to Shikamaru himself. That the boy thought of her as anything more than a troublesome friend who was always needing help with something or another.

She drank the last bit of her drink and set down the glass. “We better be heading to the Hokage tower soon. It’s almost time, and he still has to debrief us and all, “ she told the boy at her right.

“Yeah. I’ll go get my bag from home first and we’ll meet up there?”

“Got it,” Y/N slid out of the booth and waved to her friends. “See you when we get back.”

“Bye, Y/N!” Ino called as the girl left the restaurant with her book bag over her shoulder. She sighed, sinking down into her seat and glaring over at the pineapple head across from them. “You gotta make your move on this mission, Shika. Stop being such a scaredy cat.”

“Listen, you guys don’t know anything about anything, okay? She doesn’t like me that way. She never has.”

“I never thought I’d have to say this, but you’re dumb, man,” Choji laughed. “She obviously likes you.”

“Yeah, yeah. All of you seem to think that but you don’t see how she is with me. We are purely friends. That’s it.”

“Whatever, man,” he waved off the boy’s stern reply and added, “ Have fun on your trip with Y/N. Hope you get lucky.” Those words caused Shikamaru to heat up from his neck to the tips of his ears and he promptly slid out from his seat, straightening his vest as he did so to try and calm himself. That was unnecessary of his friend to say, for sure.

He turned to them once more and nodded his head. “See you around.”

“See you!”

Now all he needed to do was get his things together and meet up with the girl of his dreams for their weeks long mission. Fun times. Especially now that his friends made him annoyed and frustrated with the entire situation again. He’d have to calm down before seeing her soon.

_______

“We’re doing what?” Y/N asked, staring down at their Hokage in disbelief. He’d been detailing their mission and everything seemed normal so far, infiltrating and learning information about a budding coup in a far away nation just on the edge of the Land of Earth and The Land of Wind. It seemed easy enough at first, but then he kept going.

Kakashi sighed. “I said, you two are to be disguised as a princess and her consort from the Land of Sunflowers. The leaders of this land are expecting these royal visitors and you will be taking their place.”

“So, like, he’s gonna be my husband?” she asked for clarification again. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand his words, it was that she didn’t want to believe them. This was her worst nightmare. They would have to pretend to be in a relationship? Shikamaru was going to hate this more than anything and it would be uncomfortable the entire time.

Why did Kakashi have to pick them two, of all his shinobi? Why?

“Yes. That won’t be a problem for two close friends such as yourselves. After all, that’s why I picked you. You have some kind of dynamic going I feel your targets will find believable.” Shikamaru cursed the heavens. Even the fucking Hokage thought they were involved. This was ridiculous. Now this long ass mission he was already dreading was made ten times worse with this awkward situation. “We’re not gonna have a problem, are we?”

It would be okay though. He just had to take a few deep breaths. That’s all.

“No, sir, of course not. I’m ready for anything you throw at me,” she declared, straightening her back and letting the heat fade from her cheeks. She was embarrassed, obviously, but she couldn’t let the Hokage know. It was easier talking to Kakashi though, much easier than Tsunade. Kakashi watched them grow up, he knew them personally from helping them train. That didn’t mean she couldn’t be flustered.

“You’ll take those bags with you. They have some more suitable clothing for royalty. Put them on when you get close to the village. Throw out any indicators you’re from the Leaf as well.”

“Okay.”

“You’re dismissed. Leave as soon as possible,” the gray haired shinobi told them. She nodded and threw the bag over her shoulder, tossing the other one over to Shikmaru who caught it and slung it onto his back. He definitely wasn’t happy about any of this, but maybe it was a sign.

Ino and Choji told him to confess his feelings to her on this mission. Kakashi just told them they would be pretending to be a married couple. As he watched her walking in front of him down the Tower stairs, her head just barely dipped as she absorbed all the information running through her mind, he wondered if maybe this was his opportunity. A make or break type scenario. He had three weeks to figure out how to tell her how he felt in a more direct way than he’d tried before.

He worked out all the scenarios and their outcomes in his head millions of times and every time they ended in disaster. For someone so great at strategy, he sure did struggle with this one.

“So, I guess we’re married now. Should we start kissing or something?” she asked awkwardly as they reached the bottom of the stairs, shifting back and forth from her toes to her heels. He stopped, more like froze, in his path and stared at her.

“Now you're just making it weird,” he replied. “We aren’t even there yet.”

“I know, I was kidding. Trying to lighten the mood, you know,” she grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest. Of course he would reply like that. He didn’t like her at all, he couldn’t even take a fucking joke. Had to get all upset over it like a baby, all because he was so set on never dating her ever, never even entertaining the thought. She rolled her eyes, “You don’t have to be so rude about it, geez.”

She kept walking before he could reply. He had a feeling this trip was going to be a lot worse than anyone had anticipated. He was nervous, grumpy, and preparing for the worst. In fact, what he really wanted was a nice long nap.

_________

The dresses that Kakashi packed for her were...extravagant to say the least. They flowed all the way down to her ankles, thick heavy hoop skirts embroidered from head to toe with symbols of the land of sunflowers. She felt strange with her shoulders exposed and her body on display in these outfits which were so unlike the pants and t-shirts she wore when she was back at home or on a normal mission. She wrapped a shawl around her shoulders and sighed, feeling at least a little covered.

Shikamaru had nice clothes, but they were nothing in comparison to her wild dresses and all the bright colors of the fabric. He looked semi-normal. She was jealous, admittedly, that he still got to wear pants and shirts. He said she looked good in the dress, he actually told her about a dozen times, reassuring over and over again that she looked fine, but she didn’t believe him. She wasn’t dainty, how could she look beautiful when she clearly didn't belong in something so delicate?

Still, when they walked up to the gates of the Land of Shadows, they were greeted like the royalty they pretended to be. They were swept away to the main castle to meet with the King and his wife. It was nearly dinner time, and they were to eat with them as a greeting. It made sense, but Y/N felt herself growing more nervous with the second. She didn’t know the first thing about being a princess, or acting like a monarch. All she knew was fighting and joking with her friends.

Not only that, but how could she convince them that she and Shikamaru were in a relationship? Y/N wasn’t sure they possessed the right dynamic and even if they tried, it would be obvious they were uncomfortable with each other. It was all making her heart race, and she had to take a few deep breaths as they entered the dining room.

But her companion...he knew what he was doing. He was going to put on quite the show, take advantage of the situation. If this week and a half was his only chance to hold Y/N in his heart, than he wouldn't let any opportunities slip by.

Without warning, she found that Shikamaru had reached over and wrapped her hand up in his bigger one, clutching at her shaking fingers. He was so steady, she found herself sinking into his touch. It was comforting, more so than she thought it could be, given the circumstances. His skin was just so warm and soft against hers, it was only natural she felt safer.

“Ah, Princess Ayaka, Duke Hisashi. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” a man called from his place at the table. His wife was sitting beside him, her soft smile only reaching her lips not nearing her eyes. Y/N caught that immediately. Her distance. Silently, she took note of that as the King approached them, extending his arms for an embrace.

“It’s an honor to meet you, your highness,” Shikamaru replied with a smile, an obvious fake one, but damn was he good. She watched as he hugged the man so earnestly, as if he’d sunken right into the role of consort without an issue. She’d have to ask him tonight how he was so good at acting.

“And your beautiful wife,” he extended his hand to the girl and she raised it hesitantly, receiving a soft kiss to the back of her palm. “Come take a seat. Dinner will be served soon.”

The pair took their seats beside each other on the opposite side of the table, Y/N directly across from the Queen, who looked up at her for merely a moment only to sigh and go back to fiddling with the curve of her wine glass. "Your highness," Y/N hummed to the woman who nodded.

"Oh what a dream, to be young and in love," she said. "I remember the days."

"Please dear! To me, you will always be my beautiful young wife! We share a love to last a lifetime," the king cheered, placing his hand over that of his wife's as he took his seat at the table. "I apologize for her gloom. She's been going through a rough patch. We are more than overjoyed to have you here."

"It's fine. We all have our bad days," the girl replied softly.

After a few minutes of small talk, just dipping their feet into the conversation, a couple servants brought out plates of food and wine bottles full of vintage drink truly meant for the highest of royalty. Compared to the plain sake she had drank at home, this was liquid gold dripping down her throat. Shikamaru sent her a warning look. Y/N was known to be quite the lightweight, and even a couple glasses of wine could send her into a tipsy stupor. He really knew her too well, so hyperaware of the things she did.

"So, how did you two meet?" their host asked, taking a moment away from the chicken in front of him. "It's said that you married for love, not arrangement. That's true?"

Y/N and Shikamaru hadn't been versed very well on the details, just on the basics. Her heart beat increased, stress building up. Her lies would have to be good.

"Yes. You've heard right. He was my friend before anything else. We met as children." That much she knew for sure after reading the mission summary.

"Oh wow. Childhood lovers. Very sweet," the queen sighed, resting her cheek in her palm.

Y/N would be lying if she didn't feel a bit of similarities between her own story and that of the real princess she was pretending to be. Shikamaru and Y/N grew up together, for as long as she could remember. She started to love him before she even really knew what love was. It only made sense she pretended to be a princess in the same situation.

And when he held her hand again, this time under the table, his thumb brushing over her knuckles so softly she thought she might melt. Her cheeks began to heat up under his touch and she smiled. It was so nice holding his hand, pretending to care about each other this way. Not that she needed to pretend.

Dinner droned on, and she continued to hold his hand the entire time, besides when they were spooning at their food. For once on a mission, it felt like they were completely at peace. Of course, they were both supposed to be analyzing the movements of everyone around them to make sure no one was planning a coup like Kakashi told them. But she couldn’t held but cherish the moments of calmness and warmth between everyone.

The King and his wife were genuinely some of the kindest people she’d ever met, whether they were just acting that way or not. It was a pleasure to have dinner with them, talking and laughing like an uncle would with his nieces and nephews. It had that same energy, talking to him.

“Hisashi, you wouldn’t mind accompanying me to my library? I have some books I think you might enjoy,” the man said, standing from the table. The rest of them slid out of their chairs after him, and she had to brush down her skirts to make sure everything was in line. It was tedious, wearing these outfits without any prior warning. She felt like a clown. The Queen was so effortless in her movements, how could she not feel stupid standing beside someone so regal?

“That sounds great, your majesty-”

“Not necessary. Call me Shoto, that’s my name after all, and you are an honored guest,” he laughed. He reached over and gave his wife a gentle kiss on the cheek before turning on his heel and heading toward the door. She really expected Shikamaru to just leave with just a simple goodbye, or a “I’ll see you tonight” kind of thing.

Definitely not this.

He was gonna go all out this time around.

“I’m going to kiss you now,” he whispered, just loud enough for only her to hear, over her shoulder into her ear. When his warm breath hit her skin, shivers ran up and down her spine. Her eyes widened and she turned to stare up at him, cursing herself when she felt heat rise up in her cheeks and burn the tips of her ears. Was he serious, or just teasing her? He always liked to crack jokes like that.

But when she felt his rough hand pressed to her cheek, lifting her face ever so carefully to meet his, she knew he wasn’t messing around. His eyes met hers for a split second, and she could have sworn he winked down at her before pressing his lips to hers.

Honestly, she thought she might have a heart attack right there in the dining room. Shikamaru was kissing her. It felt even better than she dreamed it would. Chapped lips running against hers, heat pooling in her stomach, heart pounding in her chest.

As soon as it started, though, the kiss was over, and he took a step back. "See you tonight, Princess."

She was keen on catching the smirk on his lips, and the way he laughed to himself as he walked out of the room with the King before him.

Y/N stood there silently, her fingers pressed to her lips, breath caught in her throat. The boy she’d wanted for so long just kissed her like it was nothing, and she was left all alone to deal with this predicament, all the feelings that came rushing in after. All she knew for sure, whether he was serious or not, was that she really, seriously liked him. She liked him a lot more than she thought.

And now they had a whole week and a half of fake kisses and hand holding to endure. Jeez.

__________

“You know, you’re nothing like the other princesses I’ve met,” the guard said to her as she waited for Shikamaru to show up. He was still out with the King practicing archery. Apparently that was a hobby a lot of these rich country men had. So far, she wasn’t suspecting a thing out of the King or any of his closest acquaintances. They were nice as could be and seemed sincere in their intentions toward the village alliances. She had no reason to suspect them, and was beginning to think a coup was just as Kakashi thought, a mere rumor.

That made things a lot easier.

She sighed, tapping her fingers on her wrist. She wasn’t a fan of having a guard watching her every second of the day, especially not the talkative ones. This one was strange. He gave off this energy she couldn’t describe as anything other than creepy.

“Yeah? That’s nice,” she muttered.

“It’s just, usually princesses are pompous, full of themselves, spoiled women. You aren’t the same,” he continued, even if it was obvious she wanted him to shut up and go about his business while she did hers. She felt uncomfortable being alone in this land, without any of her weapons or the ability to fight back if someone was acting sketchy. She was forced to sit by like some little, ditsy princess just watching and observing.

Honestly, though, Shikamaru was probably having a great time. All he had to do was eat with the royalty, play board games, shoot some arrows, and then go to sleep. There was no extensive fighting or thinking going on, just sitting around observing and waiting for something suspicious to happen.

The queen would normally hang out with the female guests but thanks to her bouts of depression she stayed in her room, leaving Y/N completely at the mercy of time. So much time passed, and she was bored of it.

“I’m honestly just another princess. You’d be surprised though. Many princesses are just as modest as I am, it’s not all that uncommon,” she commented, taking a peek over at the man, only to quickly look away. He had quite the hungry look on his face, and if her eyes hadn’t deceived her, his own were trained right on her breasts. Damn these dresses.

Y/N wrapped her arms across her chest and slumped down, trying to hide herself from this weird man watching over her. Only, it seemed impossible. He was so much taller, could just look over her shoulder. She couldn’t run away and raise suspicion. She had to sit here and wait for someone else to break the tension.

She was scared.

“I meant that as a compliment. You say thank you when someone compliments you, yeah?” he mumbled, a firm hand reaching out to snatch her wrist. It hurt, his grip on her arm, and she winced at the feeling. “Say thank you.”

She bit her lip and refused to meet his eyes, instead focusing on his hands. If she needed to, she would defend herself but only to a small extent. She couldn’t blow her cover just because some guard was manhandling her. Take a deep breath, Y/N. It’s gonna be okay. Just calm down.

“T-Thank you,” she gulped, hoping he would drop her wrist. But he didn’t. He only held on tighter.

He smiled, yellow teeth showing through his thin lips. “See, you are a good girl, aren’t you?” he questioned, and she felt his other hand run up her waist. All she could do was whimper, shivers running up her spine and any skin this man laid his hands on. The only hope she had was that another guard come walking around and see them.

It was unlikely, but she prayed for a savior to make their appearance.

His hand worked its way down to her ass, and she felt him squeeze. Vomit rose up in her throat and she squirmed away, pressing herself against the wall as tight as she could so his hands had nowhere to go. Instead, he took to fondling her breasts in his hands. She could only bite her lips and feel the tears bubble up in her eyes as he pushed down the fabric of her top and pressed his filthy palms against her skin.

“What the fuck?” a voice cursed from behind them. The guard was torn off of her form and she brought up her hands to cover herself, tears still dripping thickly from her eyes as she cried, little breathy sobs leaving her lips. Shikamaru stood there, hands shaking at his sides as he glared over at the guard. “What’s going on here?” he demanded. Y/N watched as her friend turned red in the face, burning up with an anger she rarely saw from him, if ever.

“You tell me, your highness. Your wife seduced me!” the guard cried, clearly lying to cover himself and his sins.

The eyes of all three men, the guard, Shikamaru, and the King standing near the footwell of the stairs, turned to her. She just cried harder, shaking like a leaf in front of everyone. “He grabbed me and started to touch me, and-and I couldn’t do anything,” Y/N told them all through her pained cries.

The King marched up the steps and grabbed his guard by the arm, yanking him toward the doorway to enter the castle. He appeared worn from his workout, tired and sweaty, but he was awake enough to realize the severity of the situation. He bowed low to Y/N and her companion.

His apology ran thick from his mustached lips, “This is unacceptable. Honored guests, I apologize for everything that’s happened. I will take care of this, I assure you. Please, don’t hesitate to ask for anything you need tonight.” Shikamaru nodded, and they watched as the pair of men walked into the castle, no doubt to find another guard to incarcerate the guard in question.

Shikamaru turned to her and winced, seeing her dress pushed down below her breasts and the tremors running through her hands desperate to cover them. He watched as hot, heavy tears ran thick down her cheeks and her lips quivered and shook with fear and trauma. Gently, he moved her hands to the side and brought her dress back up to cover her chest. He worked carefully, making sure not to startle her or make things worse.

The woman sunk into his touch, leaning her head against his shoulder and sobbing. “It’s gonna be okay, Y/N. You’re safe now.” He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and tugged her close to his chest, pressing a soft, gentle hand to the back of her head to stroke her hair. “I’m so sorry. I won’t leave you alone again, okay?”

“Shika, “ she whimpered, “I’ve never felt so helpless in my entire life. I couldn’t do anything to defend myself and there was no one else around to help me. I-I didn’t know what to do.”

“I know. You must have been so scared,” he whispered. She just nodded against his shoulder, crying deeper into his chest. He hugged her tighter and swore to himself, even if he couldn't make it happen, that he would protect her. This kind of thing would never happen to her again if he had any say at all. “I promise this won’t happen again.”

"I've just never been in that position before. I always have the upper hand. It was awful. I was so scared and I wanted to cry for you to come help me but I didn't know where you were."

"God, I'm sorry," he mumbled, hugging her tighter in a desperate attempt to calm her shaking. He just wanted for her to be better, even if he knew that wasn't an option right now.

He felt so hopeless, knowing the only thing he could do was promise, to say things without any actual basis behind them. He was just whispering words to the wind hoping they would stick and he was right. He cursed himself for not being there in the first place to protect her, to make sure something like this never happened in the first place. He really was useless when she needed him the most.

He wouldn’t even argue if she said she wanted to go home, if she never wanted to see him again. He let her down. For the first time ever, he let her down in the most terrible, awful way he could think of. And now she was crying and he didn’t know how to make it better. He was really trash.

For now, all he could do though was hug her and promise her the world, all these things that might make her feel safe and comfortable, make her feel less alone and scared. It was the least he could do.

________

Finally, after a long evening of socializing and another huge dinner literally fit for a king, Y/N found herself stripping off her gowns and heavy undergarments, switching into something much lighter and comfortable for the night.

She was tired from the day. From being left alone for the good part of the morning just sitting in the sun waiting around. She was tired from the assault on her body by the guard whom was supposedly in jail right now for his actions. She was tired from all the crying and the shaking. She was just tired.

Shikamaru was out, finishing up drinks with the King and some of his subordinates for the time being, so she sunk down into the mattress near the far wall, curling up under the down covers and pulling a book from the table beside her. Anything to ease her mind for a while. She felt safe being alone in the confides of the bedroom, knowing that her friend was right down the hall if she needed him.

She scanned the pages of the novel quietly, humming each time she turned a page, leaning on her elbow so the pages would be illuminated in the candlelight.

After about an hour, the door slid open and her companion entered, shutting the door silently behind him. "You aren't asleep? I expected you to be after such a long day."

"I'm tired, but I'm not in the mood for sleep yet," she shrugged, still skimming through the pages of her novel. "Did you have fun?"

"Nah. It's such a drag having to hang out with that old man. He's nice but he never stops talking." He took off his coats and tossed them onto a chair, kicking off his heavy boots and thick socks. "Annoying, having to wear all this fancy shit too."

"Trust me, I know." She shifted over in the bed so he had more space to lay himself down, kicking out his legs and crossing his ankles. "Do you know what's on the agenda for tomorrow?"

He nodded, tilting his head ever so slightly to the side to peek at her face. His eyes slid down to the novel turned over in her hands and smirked, "Yeah. You've got book club. Have fun with that." She tossed her book back on the table beside her and instead curled further into the blankets.

His eyes caught hers and he smiled, one of those undeniably handsome intoxicating smiles she loved so deeply. "You know, you look kinda cute like that."

"Huh?"

He shrugged, "All curled up under the blankets like a little baby. It's cute. I'm just calling it how I see it."

If she wasn't flustered before, she definitely was now. He was undeniably making her feel some sort of way, and she was loving the attention. He was being so bold, so unlike him. She questioned what had compelled him to act like this, to say such things. They weren't in character anymore, it wasn't like he had to say these things.

"Thanks, Shika." She felt dumb but what was she supposed to say? She was overwhelmed. "But we're alone now. You don't have to act all lovey-dovey."

He crossed his arms beneath his head and sighed, eyes gazing up at the canopy. He mumbled, just loud enough to reach her ears, “When this is all over, I’m gonna miss you being my princess.” She peered over at him in the candlelit room, making out his faint silhouette in the darkness. Her heart fluttered in her chest at his sweet words. She never imagined in a million years Shikamaru would say these things to her, and now that it was happening she didn’t know how to react.

She dreamed of this moment for a while now. The thoughts of Shikamaru confessing his feelings and then her falling into his arms dramatically. It was a fantasy of hers, a guilty pleasure. Far too dramatic to ever be a reality.

That's why she was too shocked to meet his eyes. His princess. Those words made her woozy.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're not stupid. You know what I'm talking about," he said calmly.

"You don't want things to go back to normal?" Y/N asked, hesitant. She felt nervous, diving into these waters. Each words felt like it held so much weight. It was a puzzle, just finding the right thing to say, how to reply to his statement. "Just friends, like before?"

"Is that what you want?"

And when she really thought about it, he was right. She didn't want to go back to normal. She wanted to continue holding his hand, kissing his cheek and his lips, loving each other with their words and their gazes and all the little touches. She wanted all of this to last and as the mission came to a close, she found herself worrying for the future empty of all those things.

She shook her head, just barely able to bring her eyes up to meet his. He looked bored, but she knew he cared. He cared a lot, actually. "I-I think I'd like if we could stay like this."

"Falling in love with you, Y/N, was one of the easiest things I've ever done. Finding the right time to tell you, that's been troublesome," he confessed, blowing a stray piece of hair from his eyes. "You never seemed emotionally available, really."

"I always was. I was always waiting for you, Shikamaru. Ever since we were just teenagers, I've been waiting for you," she told him, letting her heart finally come out with her words. "I just thought you wanted to be friends. Before this mission, I had completely given up on being with you, but then everything seemed to fall into place on this trip."

"When Kakashi told us we would be married for this mission, I have to admit, I got excited." He rolled onto his side to face her. She was still curled up in her blanket, and he felt like he was melting. The most beautiful woman in the entire world right in front of him, his heart playing right into her hands. He was okay with that. He was okay with this girl having his entire soul if that meant he would see that smile and those eyes peering up at him.

He wasn't a romantic man. Far from it. But she brought out a side of him he'd only heard about from love struck novelists, such kinds Kakashi sensei would read.

"I just knew I'd have to shoot my shot with you," he finished, sending a wink her way. She truly was swoon, like putty in his hands. Her words came faster than she could think to stop them.

"Shikamaru, I think I love you. When you kissed me for the first time, I knew it was true. All these feelings for the past few years weren’t in vain. I love you."

"The feeling is mutual."

The girl crawled out from under the blankets and over to him on the other side of the mattress. Her arms wound around his neck and as best she could, she curled into his chest. Her ear pressed to his heart, beating loud and constant in her mind. He was more than happy to let her cuddle up to him, in fact, he relished in the feeling.

This is what he'd been missing out on all this time. The hugs. The cuddles. The looks in the dark full of love and longing. It was nice, to lay there with someone he knew for sure, without any doubt, loved him to the moon and back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tighter to his tired form, letting her sink further into his touch.

Kakashi knew what he was doing sending them. Two lovers with a mask over their emotions, straight into a game full of dancing around their feelings and pretending to be something they always wanted to be. Everything played out perfectly, a happy ending for a couple of worthy shinobi.

He was happy. That's all he could ask for.

Do u have any Keith and Hunk friendship hc's? I feel like their friendship is never fully explored or people put pidge/Lance in as a buffer of some kind and I just really need hunk to experience Keith's chaos firsthand and just go "hm. So This is the dumbassery that will be marrying my best friend one day." And then keith sees Hunk act like a Functioning Real Human and is blown away bc hes never been around a Functioning (almost)Adult before

ANON YOUR MIND! i hope these are okay 😊🌈🧁⚘☄❣

most of the things that hunk knew about keith before they ended up in space together, he found out from lance's dramatic monologues. he therefore fully expectes him to be this cool, emo badass- and, to be fair, he really is all of that

...but he's also super awkward, laughs at dumb puns, and baby talks to his lion, so hunk getting to know him is just a series of "wow..... this guy is a dork, actually"

hunk, at the garrison: oh man, there's that keith guy. i wonder what he's listening to that has him looking so angry

keith's headphones: it's a universal truth that more is better. having more snacks is always better. more baby animals is obviously better. and getting more of the music you love is definitely better. get spotify premium now and get three months of-

when you combine hunk's knack for being nervous and keith's knack for running headfirst into nerve-wracking situations, they can be a rather chaotic duo

pidge, walking in on hunk making muffins: what's the occasion?

hunk, who just came back from a mission: keith.

lance: what?! mister mulletman gets muffins but we don't??

hunk, who bakes to destress: i didn't say i'm making them for him. i just said it's because of him

when keith's being reckless hunk just picks him up and puts him somewhere else. it happens so often that it eventually becomes a whole inside joke with the paladins

hunk: aw man. i forgot where i put my keith

pidge: hm. maybe he's in the closet?

shiro: no, he came out of there years ago

keith: are you guys done yet

allura: did any of you hear something?

lance: nah. hunk check the cupboard

hunk's go-to routine when on a foreign planet is to be cautious and get informed about it beforehand. keith's is to touch stuff and see if anything tries to attack him

hunk: oh boy, it's a good thing we haven't run into any of those cat creatures while we were out there! apparently, they can be super dangerous

keith, clearly hiding something under his jacket: .... yeah. so about that

hunk gets lowkey sad when he sees how empty keith's room is, so he builds him a bunch of little stuff to keep there. a special holder for his knives, a tiny robot that looks like a hippo, and lots of picture frames filled with photos that lance took over their time in space!

speaking of lance, he pesters hunk for the deets every single time he and keith hang out. it's always "you gotta keep your rivals close hunk!” and “ you gotta get inside their head!” and “yes, knowing his favourite ice cream flavour is obviously detrimental to our rivalry. stop smiling at me like that"

lance: so, keith. you like naruto?

keith: uh. i guess?

lance, a liar: haha wow! me too! what a coincidence

hunk, who knows full well that lance has never seen a single episode: really? what's your favourite part?

lance:

lance: the. the one where they do the run

keith tells hunk about the bike he built by himself back on earth, and then they work to build one together!! after that, keith often helps out with hunk's projects

hunk: you sleep with it?????

keith: it makes me feel safer

hunk: there is literally NOTHING safe about having a BLADE under your PILLOW!!!!

sometimes while training with his sword, keith will make these little sound effects under his breath and hunk thinks it's ADORABLE. lance says it's dumb, but we already established that lance is a liar, so

hunk, in the red lion: can you at least try to keep this thing straight?

keith, who has never done anything straight in his whole entire life: try to keep it what

Another repost but like 👉👈 I love this one

Main Masterlist Naruto Masterlist

Naruto Naruto Uzumaki x fem!reader Modern AU

"Are you cold?"

"Yeah... My heater's out."

"Again, Naruto?"

"Yeah..."

"Can't you just get Sasuke to fix it again?"

"I asked him already, he was..."

"Oh, don't tell me he picked up the phone during sex again," I sighed. Naruto grimaced, face flushing red. He'd never gotten naughty and it was a weird topic with him, but Sasuke was absolutely shameless, and he'd just pick up the phone and talk casually with 'Oh, Sasuke! Harder!' in the background. "Jeez. Well, I'd fix it for you, but I don't know how. Just take my hoodie, I've got two, anyway."

"Really?" He asked, grinning at me. He was always excited about being offered stuff, no matter what it was. I always thought it was cute.

"Sure," I said, unzipping my hoodie and taking it off. I slipped it off of my arms and tossed it at his face playfully, both of us laughing.

Sometimes, having date night in his apartment was better than going out. I glanced at the TV just as the commercial break started and got up. Naruto whined as his pillow (me) started moving and suddenly left the couch.

"I'm just making dinner! Do you want beef or pork ramen? ...If you even have any left," I mumbled.

"Just whatever's in the cupboard," Naruto said. I could hear the grin in his voice. "It's always good when you make it, so I don't really care."

I rolled my eyes, smiling to myself, opening his cupboard and seeing a few packets of ramen left.

The secret of making really good ramen is to make it when he's distracted. Only use half the flavor packet that it comes with, and add some of one of those miso blocks you get at the store- I always bring one in my pocket when I come over. He's always got stuff in his fridge for ramen, so I never have to worry about stuff like fishcakes or egg. It's healthier when I make it, so I'm glad he likes it better.

"Alright, c'mon, Naruto," I said. "Last time you ate on the couch, you spilled all over yourself. We're eating at the table tonight."

"You're not my mom," Naruto teased, getting off the couch lazily.

"No, I'm your girlfriend," I scolded. "Now eat."

As per usual, I was only about halfway done when he finished eating. Of course, he went right back to the couch to watch our show, but he took a pillow and put it in my spot before snuggling into my hoodie. Without him noticing, I pulled out my phone and took a quick picture.

He really was the cutest sometimes.

Rather than finish my food quickly and get back to watching TV, I ate slowly, just admiring my cute boyfriend and all his reactions to the show, but then I checked my phone again.

"Ew, gross, it's already ten," I said. I got up, leaving my bowl on the table, and walked over to the couch. Naruto looked up at me sadly, trying to get me to stay with big sad puppy dog eyes. "I gotta go, hun, I have work tomorrow."

I leaned down and kissed him sweetly before running a hand through his hair.

"Can't you stay the night?" He pleaded.

"All my work stuff is at my place," I told him. "I'll be back tomorrow, I promise. I'm not leaving forever, y'know."

I chuckled a little as I waved, leaving his apartment.

Y/n waved as she left my apartment and I sighed once the door was closed.

She hadn't spent the night in a while, and it made me feel like I was doing something wrong, but everything else was the same as ever, and just as perfect. It was just work stuff, I guess. Ever since her promotion, most of our shifts didn't line up, and the rare times that they did, we just had other stuff that needed to get done, or we left our stuff at the wrong apartment.

I made what was probably a risky move and called Sasuke. Luckily, when he answered, he and Sakura weren't going at it.

"What is it, dweeb?" He asked, clearly annoyed that it was late.

"How do I make Y/n want to spend the night?"

"Say you wanna fuck her, idiot."

"What? No!"

I hung up on him quickly and thought about who else might be up. I thought about calling Shikamaru, since he was in a relationship too, but there was no way in hell he was awake. I called Temari instead.

"Hey, Naruto. What's up, why are you calling so late?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to Shikamaru, but he's... Definitely asleep. Do you know how I could get Y/n to want to spend the night at my place? She hasn't in a while."

"Just ask her to," Temari suggested. "Tell her that you feel like she hasn't been spending the night as much lately, and ask if she could spend the night with you because you're feeling lonely. But ask in person, when you have your shirt off, so that she'll say yes."

I sighed.

"Thanks, Temari."

I hung up. What if I don't want to be so sexual? Or brash?

Oh, perfect idea!

I scrolled through my contacts.

"Why are you calling me at this hour? What could you possibly want?"

"How do I get Y/n to want to spend the night?"

"You're asking me for advice?"

"You're my last resort, but yeah," I said. "Everyone else gave me pretty sexual advice, but I mean... I just want her to spend the night since she hasn't in a while and I just... Feel kinda lonely."

"Hmm. When she tries to leave your apartment, take her hand and turn her around. Pull her close, put a hand on her waist and look her right in the eyes- I know she loves how blue your eyes are. Ask if she's sure she wants to leave and kiss her on the cheek, then the other cheek, and then all over until she's laughing."

"You're... That's actually kinda good advice," I said slowly. "Neji, how and why are you single if you're that good at understanding women?"

"I want to be."

I pressed end call and set my phone down. As I shifted on the couch to grab the remote and turn off the TV, I realized that one of the pockets of Y/n's hoodie was heavier than the other.

I ended up pulling out her iPod. I turned the TV off and took it to my bedroom, just to see what kind of music she liked.

Maybe we were into the same kind of thing, we'd never really talked about our music taste before. My earbuds were laying on my pillow, so I plugged them in after shrugging off her hoodie. The first couple songs in the first playlist were pretty good, I guess, then one of my favorites played, then one that I ended up skipping because I didn't really like it.

I scrolled through her stuff until I found a Naruto playlist. Definitely something I wanted to hear, so I decided to listen to all the songs all the way through, even if I didn't like them, but I liked the first several well enough that I decided I liked the whole playlist. A lot of songs about how much she loved me.

There was one called Spicy Boyfriend that I thought was a pretty funny little joke, but the last song kind of got to me. It started with wedding vows, and it was all about these two characters joining together as one forever, even in death, and it really made me wonder if Y/n wanted to marry me one day.

A knock at my door made me jump out my skin and almost scream. I unplugged my earbuds and shoved the iPod back in Y/n's pocket in a panic.

"Just me, Naruto!"

Just Y/n, thank god- Oh, fuck.

I answered the door quickly, thinking maybe something was up.

"Hey, Y/n!" I said, grinning. She gave me her signature worried face and reached out, swiping a thumb across my cheek.

"Have you been crying?" She asked.

"Have I?" I asked. I reached up and touched my face. Yeah, there were tears. She laughed a little.

"You didn't even know you were crying? What is up with you?" She gave me a hug before stepping into my apartment and closing the door behind her. "What's up, hun? What made you cry?"

"I don't know," I said. "Also, I thought you had work tomorrow, don't you need to go home and sleep?"

"I can just call in and be late," she said, walking over to the table and clearing up the mess from dinner.

"I can do that-"

"Naruto, I've got it, don't worry," she said sweetly. "I'm more worried about why you were crying without noticing. I just came back because I realized I left my iPod in that hoodie."

Oh, it was that whole marriage song, wasn't it? That's totally what made me cry!

"Oh, but if I know you at all, it's on your bed," she said with a giggle. She started to walk my room, but I got up and walked after her.

I mean, close enough, right, Neji?

I grabbed Y/n's hand before she could get to my room and I turned her around, pulling her close. She just stared straight ahead blankly, clearly a little nervous, which made me a little nervous, and I had to gently tilt her face up before I could put my hand on her waist. We were both burning up, faces red.

"I might've listened to your Naruto playlist," I said.

"Well, did you like it?" She asked, her voice sounding oddly casual. Slowly, she cracked a grin and gently pushed me away as we both started laughing. "And where the hell did that come from, dork?"

"Neji tried to teach me to be romantic!" I said, taking her hand again and dragging her over to the couch. She fell into my lap pretty comfortably, which was a nice change since I was usually in her lap, despite her being the smaller one.

"You're too much of a dork to be romantic," she said. "I mean... You have your moments already, but it's the whole catching popcorn in your mouth and movie night and mismatching socks thing that has me goin'. But did you like the playlist?"

"I think it was the last song that made me cry," I said. "I... I really don't know why I was crying. I mean, it was, like, wedding vows and stuff. Do you wanna marry me or something?"

"I mean, someday," she said casually, taking my arms and wrapping them around her waist comfortably. "I think it's gonna be you and me forever. Two dorks, a lot of junk food, worn out DVDs of of our favorite movies, and some nerd kid who keeps rereading the same damn book at the dinner table instead of doing their homework. You think that's good?"

"Uh, give me a moment."

I pulled my phone from my pocket and called Neji.

"What do you want this time?" He asked exasperatedly.

"She said she wants a kid, how am I supposed to react?"

"Well, that escalated quickly."
