Chapter 24
So...this chapter was written basically for my own enjoyment as well as your own. It really doesn't move the story along other than time wise (which I suppose is a good thing). This is a filler chapter of sorts, but I know you guys will love it. XD lol

Chapter 24
Shikamaru and Neji watched the activities of those sitting at the table with them with almost bored antipathy. Apparently, getting Naruto smashed was what Sasuke had in mind, despite the fact that they were at a wedding. Hinata and Shino were busy dealing with other guests, but had already come to visit with their table. Neji had offered his largest congratulations to the pair and in turn present their wedding gift to the newlyweds; a queen sized bed and many other little things that Hinata could use in her bedroom. It wasn’t as much as they had received, but they gave what they could.
“Sasuke, stop giving him more sake,” Neji hissed. “You’re going to make him disgrace himself!”
Sasuke snorted. “It’s not the sake. I put a little…powder into his drink.”
“Seeing as he’s been Hokage for a little under a month, I don’t think is the kind of image he’s going to want to have for himself,” Shikamaru added.
Naruto giggled. “Aw, you guysh are just jealoush.”
Neji sighed. “Great, he’s slurring.”
Sasuke smirked. “Perfect. Now I can take him home and screw the hell out of him.”
“Nymphomaniac,” Shikamaru frowned.
“Maybe so,” Sasuke grinned. “You’ll be thanking me later though. We’re going to say goodbye and leave.”
Neji and Shikamaru both gave Sasuke a confused look as he got up, pulling the blonde with him. They watched as the pair made their way over to the newlyweds before they turned their attention back to their table. What the hell did Sasuke mean by that? Neji shook his head, officially convinced that the Uchiha had lost his sanity. Shikamaru was thinking something along the same lines, although his mind was trying to decipher what he had meant by his words.
“Should we head out too?” Shikamaru asked once several minutes had passed by. His mind was lagging in its normal speed and he was suddenly feeling tired. “I’m sure it’s not imperative that we stay here.”
Neji smirked. “You’re just lazy, but we can go.” He pushed himself to his feet, brushing some of the wrinkles in his nice clothing away as Shikamaru struggled to stand up.
“Hey, Neji, give me a hand, would you?” the Nara asked quietly, blinking his eyes.
Neji frowned as he grabbed his husband’s hand. “Are you alright?”
Shikamaru shook his head in a way to tell Neji not to worry. “I’m just a little tired that’s all. Guess I have been overworking myself.”
“That’s what I was telling you all week,” Neji sighed as they made they’re way over to Hinata and Shino. “You’re really scaring me with how busy you’ve been lately.”
“Guess I just got excited with the whole position and all,” Shikamaru shrugged, leaning slightly on the Hyuuga.
“Oh, Neji, are you two planning on leaving?” Hinata asked with her eyes bright and happy.
Neji nodded his head. “Yes. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We wish you both much happiness and luck in the coming years.”
“Thank you,” Shino nodded. “We appreciate that and the gift.”
“See you two later,” Shikamaru said lazily, leading Neji out of the room and out of the Hyuuga compound.
They walked down the streets of Konoha at a rather slow pace, stopping every now and then when Shikamaru’s legs would tremble underneath his weight. At first Neji suggested that they go to the hospital, but the Nara firmly insisted that he was simply tired and that a small nap was all he needed. Despite his worry, Neji consented. Yet shortly after, Shikamaru demanded that they jutsu the rest of the way home as he didn’t think he could keep himself awake that long.
Once inside of their house, Shikamaru slumped to the floor, apologizing to Neji before he was sleeping. Neji was baffled as he carried his lover up the stairs. Why was Shikamaru so tired all of a sudden? Then it hit him as he laid the other gently on the bed. Sasuke must have some how gotten some of that powder into Shikamaru’s drink! But why wasn’t it having the same effect as it had been on Naruto? Was it because Shikamaru had decided to drink water instead of sake?
Simply deciding that he would punch the Uchiha later for drugging his spouse, Neji turned to look at Shikamaru, who was resting peacefully on the bed, mind blissfully unaware of what had happened to him. Neji pulled the Nara’s hair out of its band, letting the dark brown locks fall into a more comfortable position. His fingers sifted through the hair before they brushed across the other’s cheek. Shikamaru always did so much for him. Why couldn’t he think of anything to do in return?
He blinked momentarily until an evil little smirk crawled onto his face. It was about time he did something, right? So he was going to do something. He only hoped that Shikamaru wouldn’t want to kill him afterwards for it. He snickered as he pushed himself up off the bed and started to pull off his clothes to get into something more comfortable. Maybe he wouldn’t punch Sasuke, depending on how well this went.
*********************************
Neji watched as Shikamaru’s eyes fluttered open, smirking at how the Nara’s eyes blinked in confusion as his hands refused to move. The smirk only grew as the other suddenly noticed that he was bound to the head board of their bed with a silk sash from one of Neji’s better sets of clothes. Neji had to bite his tongue to keep himself from laughing when the other realized that he was completely stripped of all of his clothing as well.
“What the hell, Neji?” Shikamaru said, his tiredness giving his speech a little bit of a slur. “What are you doing?”
“You won’t ever sit still long enough for me to give you half of what you give me,” Neji explained as he crawled up the bed. He too was completely bare. “Sasuke gave me the opportunity to fix that.”
“Neji, release me,” Shikamaru demanded, struggling with the bonds for emphasis.
“And if I say no?” Neji asked.
“Then I’ll use a jutsu to make the bonds go loose.”
Neji smirked devilishly. “I’d like to see you try. After all, I tied your hands in a way that performing the necessary seals is practically impossible.”
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow and twisted his hands in the bonds, only to find that Neji hadn’t been lying. “Neji-“
“Let me do this,” Neji whispered, leaning over the other’s head. “It’s my turn to give.”
Shikamaru opened his mouth to protest only to have the Hyuuga’s tongue thrust inside of his mouth. He started to pull away, but Neji grabbed his head, forcing the other to receive his attentions. Realizing that the other wouldn’t be happy until he got to do this, Shikamaru relaxed into the bed, his own mouth slowly returning the other’s actions. Neji moaned happily before he pulled away, letting a string of saliva dangle between their mouths before it disappeared.
“Neji,” Shikamaru breathed as feather-light kisses were placed along his jaw and underneath his chin, “you don’t have to do this…”
“I want to,” Neji whispered, his kisses moving down the other’s pale neck, adding gentle nips along the skin.
He stopped at the crook between neck and shoulder and started to lick the spot almost tenderly before he placed his lips around the wet spot and gave a violent suck. Shikamaru shuddered at the feeling and Neji almost grinned. He continued to suck, his hands sliding down to the other’s nipples, rolling the small nubs underneath the pads of his fingers. Shikamaru’s breath hitched in his throat as Neji continued to rub his nipples, the sucking on his neck getting a little more intense.
With a quiet pop, Neji pulled away from the other’s neck, admiring his handiwork for a moment before he resumed his trail downwards. His hands left the other’s hardened nubs, moving tantalizingly over his sides. He nibbled along the line of Shikamaru’s collarbone, placed a kiss in the center of his chest, and continued to move further downwards, loving how the Nara’s body squirmed under his attentions. It wasn’t long before something hard hid the bottom of his chin.
“I thought you were protesting this,” Neji grinned, sliding till he was resting between Shikamaru’s legs.
“Neji, don’t. Y-You don’t have to-ah!”
Neji’s finger gently ran up and down the side of the hard cock before his eyes before he slipped the finger into the foreskin, running it around the circumference of the length almost lazily. Shikamaru’s hips jerked at the attention and Neji smirked, pulling his finger out and licking the length of his finger, catching the Nara’s musky taste. He watched with amusement when the cock twitched at his display, his eyes shining with his laughter.
With slow movements, he gripped the bottom of Shikamaru’s erection and flicked his tongue out, delving into the slit on the head and gathering the other’s precum. Shikamaru was panting at this point and Neji listened with delight as a strangle moan left the other’s lips. Grinning to himself, he placed his tongue at the top of the head again, swirling it around like he had his fingers, watching every twitch, every movement that his lover made.
“N-Neji,” Shikamaru panted. “S-stop.”
Neji took the other’s head into his mouth as a reply, forcing a cry from the other’s throat. Neji’s hands went to the Nara’s hips, pinning them down onto the sheets as he sucked lightly on the head, his tongue delving as far into the slit as he could. This wasn’t his first time giving head to the Nara, but in the entire time of their relationship, that number wasn’t even close to hitting the double digits. But from the moans Shikamaru was giving, Neji would guess that he was doing well.
He slowly took in more of the other’s member, loving how he could feel it throb in his mouth, pre-cum pouring out of head and onto his eagerly awaiting tongue. Raising his eyes as he went lower, Neji was pleased to see that Shikamaru had his eyes clamped and his breathing was labored. After he reached a little more than halfway down the erection, he pulled back, sucking violently before he started to lower himself again. He chuckled at the other’s whimpers, the vibrations sending fire through the Nara’s veins.
“Gods, Neji,” Shikamaru mewled. “Y-You need to stop! I-If you don’t, I can-nnnh-t…I won’t b-be able to-ah! Ah!”
Having heard enough of the other’s pleas, Neji took in a deep breath through his nose and relaxed his throat. With a single plunge, he nestled his nose in the other’s coarse, dark hair, swallowing deftly around the hot member. Shikamaru did cry out that time, albeit softly, and begged Neji to let go. Unwilling to comply, Neji continued to swallow around the swollen member, moans rolling from Shikamaru’s throat as the Nara fought against his bindings.
“Oh gods,” Shikamaru breathed, “Neji stop! I-I can’t-ah!”
Neji closed his eyes and started to swallow, loving how Shikamaru’s seed shot down his throat as the member swelled. He greedily swallowed and sucked, wanting to drain the other completely. Shikamaru hips jerked slightly as the ministrations continued as his body fell back onto the bed, his chest heaving with his desperate attempts to regain his breath. Once the other was finished, Neji pulled back, licking at whatever he might have missed and licked his lips.
“I think you enjoyed that,” Neji smiled.
Shikamaru opened his eyes halfway, still panting softly. “Tell me…why I shouldn’t…have enjoyed that…”
Neji made his way back up over the other, staring down at his lover. With a gentle grin, he bent down and placed a tender kiss on Shikamaru’s lips. The younger male immediately returned the gesture, his hands struggling against the sash, trying to get free so he could grab the other. He tried even harder when Neji’s hand went back to his half-hard member and started to stroke it, the simple touch pulling him back into an aroused state.
“Neji, d-don’t,” Shikamaru gasped, throwing his head back into the pillows.
Neji merely smirked and let go of the hard member and reached for the drawers on the side of their bed. Pulling out a tube of lube, he popped the cap and poured a liberal amount onto his fingers. Rubbing the substance between his fingers for a moment, Neji let the cool gel drip onto Shikamaru’s cock. The Nara hissed at the feeling. Grinning, Neji coated the member, stroking it gently as the younger male bucked into his hand, moaning in pleasure.
Once the Hyuuga deemed that the other was thoroughly coated, he put the cap back onto the tube and set it aside before he positioned himself above the other, grabbing the other’s member and placing it at his entrance.
Shikamaru started to do everything he could to stop the older male. “No, Neji, don’t.”
“Don’t worry,” Neji smiled, stilling the other’s movements and pushed onto the head.
“Neji, stop,” Shikamaru whispered, a desperate tone in his voice. “You-nnnh…you didn’t prepare!”
Neji gasped softly as the other’s erection continued to fill him. “Prepared…before…” With a quick movement, he pushed all the way down, his breath hitching as he was filled.
Shikamaru let out a heavy moan at the tight heat, his hips thrusting lightly to get further into it. His head was thrown back deep into the pillows, his eyes open wide at the stimulation surrounding his erection. His hands struggled, twisted, did what ever he could think of in order to free himself. Knowing Neji, the Hyuuga would make him come again without any thought or care towards himself. Shikamaru wasn’t going to let that happen. He couldn’t.
After having caught his breath and adjusted to Shikamaru’s size, Neji lifted himself slightly, only to slam back down. His hands came to rest on the Nara’s chest, using it to give him a form of leverage as he lifted himself again, a little higher, before bringing himself back down again. It wasn’t long before he was grunting and groaning with his efforts, his eyes locked with Shikamaru’s face the entire time. He squeezed his muscles around the other, thrilled with the deep moan he pulled from him.
Shikamaru was panting heavily and thrusting upwards against his will as he got closer to his end. He turned his pleading eyes up to the Hyuuga and caught some of his mind under control. “Neji, please…untie me. Please.”
Unable to deny the other any request, Neji stopped moving only to shakily reach behind the headboard and pull one end of the sash. Shikamaru’s wrists were immediately loosened from their bonds and he pulled them away from the headboard quickly. Ignoring his protesting muscles, the Nara let the sash drop to the floor as he reached up and grabbed Neji’s shoulders. He rolled the two of them over and proceeded to thrust heavily into the other.
Neji cried out every time the other brushed against his prostate, pleasure running up and down his spine. A hand wrapped itself around his crying member and he cried out to the empty room, writhing in pleasure as the other thrust into him. He felt the member swell and Shikamaru breathed his name before hot, liquid heat started to fill him. That was enough for Neji and he released as well, his cum splattering over his stomach and chest, his insides milking the other.
Shikamaru flopped bonelessly to his side, breathing heavily along with Neji, his arm draped over the other’s dirty stomach as he slid out from the other. They merely stayed like that, enjoying their afterglow and each other’s presence. Tiredly, Neji reached over to the bedside stand and grabbed a cloth he had set there earlier and began to wipe himself off, quickly doing the same with the Nara before he threw the cloth to the floor.
“You,” Shikamaru said quietly, “are in so much trouble.”
“Why?” Neji asked innocently, looking over at the other. “Because I decided to give you more than I received for once?”
“Neji-“
“Please don’t,” the older male whispered, turning to face the other. He gently kissed the Nara before he pulled away. “I was waiting for an opportunity like this to happen. Let me get away with this…at least once.”
Shikamaru sighed and pulled the other closer, resting his forehead against the Hyuuga’s. “Baka. Remind me to get Sasuke for this.”
Neji chuckled. “I suppose it is better that you take it out on him, seeing as he drugged you.”
“Damn straight,” Shikamaru mumbled softly, the phrase coming almost uncharacteristically from his mouth. Neji merely smiled and relaxed onto the bed, letting his muscles succumb to their exhaustion. He closed his eyes as he felt the other’s breath even out. Snuggling closer, Neji felt the other’s arms wrap tightly around him and he sighed happily before he let sleep take over. He felt like the relationship was finally on equal terms.

Shikamaru and Neji watched the activities of those sitting at the table with them with almost bored antipathy. Apparently, getting Naruto smashed was what Sasuke had in mind, despite the fact that they were at a wedding. Hinata and Shino were busy dealing with other guests, but had already come to visit with their table. Neji had offered his largest congratulations to the pair and in turn present their wedding gift to the newlyweds; a queen sized bed and many other little things that Hinata could use in her bedroom. It wasn’t as much as they had received, but they gave what they could.
“Sasuke, stop giving him more sake,” Neji hissed. “You’re going to make him disgrace himself!”
Sasuke snorted. “It’s not the sake. I put a little…powder into his drink.”
“Seeing as he’s been Hokage for a little under a month, I don’t think is the kind of image he’s going to want to have for himself,” Shikamaru added.
Naruto giggled. “Aw, you guysh are just jealoush.”
Neji sighed. “Great, he’s slurring.”
Sasuke smirked. “Perfect. Now I can take him home and screw the hell out of him.”
“Nymphomaniac,” Shikamaru frowned.
“Maybe so,” Sasuke grinned. “You’ll be thanking me later though. We’re going to say goodbye and leave.”
Neji and Shikamaru both gave Sasuke a confused look as he got up, pulling the blonde with him. They watched as the pair made their way over to the newlyweds before they turned their attention back to their table. What the hell did Sasuke mean by that? Neji shook his head, officially convinced that the Uchiha had lost his sanity. Shikamaru was thinking something along the same lines, although his mind was trying to decipher what he had meant by his words.
“Should we head out too?” Shikamaru asked once several minutes had passed by. His mind was lagging in its normal speed and he was suddenly feeling tired. “I’m sure it’s not imperative that we stay here.”
Neji smirked. “You’re just lazy, but we can go.” He pushed himself to his feet, brushing some of the wrinkles in his nice clothing away as Shikamaru struggled to stand up.
“Hey, Neji, give me a hand, would you?” the Nara asked quietly, blinking his eyes.
Neji frowned as he grabbed his husband’s hand. “Are you alright?”
Shikamaru shook his head in a way to tell Neji not to worry. “I’m just a little tired that’s all. Guess I have been overworking myself.”
“That’s what I was telling you all week,” Neji sighed as they made they’re way over to Hinata and Shino. “You’re really scaring me with how busy you’ve been lately.”
“Guess I just got excited with the whole position and all,” Shikamaru shrugged, leaning slightly on the Hyuuga.
“Oh, Neji, are you two planning on leaving?” Hinata asked with her eyes bright and happy.
Neji nodded his head. “Yes. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We wish you both much happiness and luck in the coming years.”
“Thank you,” Shino nodded. “We appreciate that and the gift.”
“See you two later,” Shikamaru said lazily, leading Neji out of the room and out of the Hyuuga compound.
They walked down the streets of Konoha at a rather slow pace, stopping every now and then when Shikamaru’s legs would tremble underneath his weight. At first Neji suggested that they go to the hospital, but the Nara firmly insisted that he was simply tired and that a small nap was all he needed. Despite his worry, Neji consented. Yet shortly after, Shikamaru demanded that they jutsu the rest of the way home as he didn’t think he could keep himself awake that long.
Once inside of their house, Shikamaru slumped to the floor, apologizing to Neji before he was sleeping. Neji was baffled as he carried his lover up the stairs. Why was Shikamaru so tired all of a sudden? Then it hit him as he laid the other gently on the bed. Sasuke must have some how gotten some of that powder into Shikamaru’s drink! But why wasn’t it having the same effect as it had been on Naruto? Was it because Shikamaru had decided to drink water instead of sake?
Simply deciding that he would punch the Uchiha later for drugging his spouse, Neji turned to look at Shikamaru, who was resting peacefully on the bed, mind blissfully unaware of what had happened to him. Neji pulled the Nara’s hair out of its band, letting the dark brown locks fall into a more comfortable position. His fingers sifted through the hair before they brushed across the other’s cheek. Shikamaru always did so much for him. Why couldn’t he think of anything to do in return?
He blinked momentarily until an evil little smirk crawled onto his face. It was about time he did something, right? So he was going to do something. He only hoped that Shikamaru wouldn’t want to kill him afterwards for it. He snickered as he pushed himself up off the bed and started to pull off his clothes to get into something more comfortable. Maybe he wouldn’t punch Sasuke, depending on how well this went.
*********************************
Neji watched as Shikamaru’s eyes fluttered open, smirking at how the Nara’s eyes blinked in confusion as his hands refused to move. The smirk only grew as the other suddenly noticed that he was bound to the head board of their bed with a silk sash from one of Neji’s better sets of clothes. Neji had to bite his tongue to keep himself from laughing when the other realized that he was completely stripped of all of his clothing as well.
“What the hell, Neji?” Shikamaru said, his tiredness giving his speech a little bit of a slur. “What are you doing?”
“You won’t ever sit still long enough for me to give you half of what you give me,” Neji explained as he crawled up the bed. He too was completely bare. “Sasuke gave me the opportunity to fix that.”
“Neji, release me,” Shikamaru demanded, struggling with the bonds for emphasis.
“And if I say no?” Neji asked.
“Then I’ll use a jutsu to make the bonds go loose.”
Neji smirked devilishly. “I’d like to see you try. After all, I tied your hands in a way that performing the necessary seals is practically impossible.”
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow and twisted his hands in the bonds, only to find that Neji hadn’t been lying. “Neji-“
“Let me do this,” Neji whispered, leaning over the other’s head. “It’s my turn to give.”
Shikamaru opened his mouth to protest only to have the Hyuuga’s tongue thrust inside of his mouth. He started to pull away, but Neji grabbed his head, forcing the other to receive his attentions. Realizing that the other wouldn’t be happy until he got to do this, Shikamaru relaxed into the bed, his own mouth slowly returning the other’s actions. Neji moaned happily before he pulled away, letting a string of saliva dangle between their mouths before it disappeared.
“Neji,” Shikamaru breathed as feather-light kisses were placed along his jaw and underneath his chin, “you don’t have to do this…”
“I want to,” Neji whispered, his kisses moving down the other’s pale neck, adding gentle nips along the skin.
He stopped at the crook between neck and shoulder and started to lick the spot almost tenderly before he placed his lips around the wet spot and gave a violent suck. Shikamaru shuddered at the feeling and Neji almost grinned. He continued to suck, his hands sliding down to the other’s nipples, rolling the small nubs underneath the pads of his fingers. Shikamaru’s breath hitched in his throat as Neji continued to rub his nipples, the sucking on his neck getting a little more intense.
With a quiet pop, Neji pulled away from the other’s neck, admiring his handiwork for a moment before he resumed his trail downwards. His hands left the other’s hardened nubs, moving tantalizingly over his sides. He nibbled along the line of Shikamaru’s collarbone, placed a kiss in the center of his chest, and continued to move further downwards, loving how the Nara’s body squirmed under his attentions. It wasn’t long before something hard hid the bottom of his chin.
“I thought you were protesting this,” Neji grinned, sliding till he was resting between Shikamaru’s legs.
“Neji, don’t. Y-You don’t have to-ah!”
Neji’s finger gently ran up and down the side of the hard cock before his eyes before he slipped the finger into the foreskin, running it around the circumference of the length almost lazily. Shikamaru’s hips jerked at the attention and Neji smirked, pulling his finger out and licking the length of his finger, catching the Nara’s musky taste. He watched with amusement when the cock twitched at his display, his eyes shining with his laughter.
With slow movements, he gripped the bottom of Shikamaru’s erection and flicked his tongue out, delving into the slit on the head and gathering the other’s precum. Shikamaru was panting at this point and Neji listened with delight as a strangle moan left the other’s lips. Grinning to himself, he placed his tongue at the top of the head again, swirling it around like he had his fingers, watching every twitch, every movement that his lover made.
“N-Neji,” Shikamaru panted. “S-stop.”
Neji took the other’s head into his mouth as a reply, forcing a cry from the other’s throat. Neji’s hands went to the Nara’s hips, pinning them down onto the sheets as he sucked lightly on the head, his tongue delving as far into the slit as he could. This wasn’t his first time giving head to the Nara, but in the entire time of their relationship, that number wasn’t even close to hitting the double digits. But from the moans Shikamaru was giving, Neji would guess that he was doing well.
He slowly took in more of the other’s member, loving how he could feel it throb in his mouth, pre-cum pouring out of head and onto his eagerly awaiting tongue. Raising his eyes as he went lower, Neji was pleased to see that Shikamaru had his eyes clamped and his breathing was labored. After he reached a little more than halfway down the erection, he pulled back, sucking violently before he started to lower himself again. He chuckled at the other’s whimpers, the vibrations sending fire through the Nara’s veins.
“Gods, Neji,” Shikamaru mewled. “Y-You need to stop! I-If you don’t, I can-nnnh-t…I won’t b-be able to-ah! Ah!”
Having heard enough of the other’s pleas, Neji took in a deep breath through his nose and relaxed his throat. With a single plunge, he nestled his nose in the other’s coarse, dark hair, swallowing deftly around the hot member. Shikamaru did cry out that time, albeit softly, and begged Neji to let go. Unwilling to comply, Neji continued to swallow around the swollen member, moans rolling from Shikamaru’s throat as the Nara fought against his bindings.
“Oh gods,” Shikamaru breathed, “Neji stop! I-I can’t-ah!”
Neji closed his eyes and started to swallow, loving how Shikamaru’s seed shot down his throat as the member swelled. He greedily swallowed and sucked, wanting to drain the other completely. Shikamaru hips jerked slightly as the ministrations continued as his body fell back onto the bed, his chest heaving with his desperate attempts to regain his breath. Once the other was finished, Neji pulled back, licking at whatever he might have missed and licked his lips.
“I think you enjoyed that,” Neji smiled.
Shikamaru opened his eyes halfway, still panting softly. “Tell me…why I shouldn’t…have enjoyed that…”
Neji made his way back up over the other, staring down at his lover. With a gentle grin, he bent down and placed a tender kiss on Shikamaru’s lips. The younger male immediately returned the gesture, his hands struggling against the sash, trying to get free so he could grab the other. He tried even harder when Neji’s hand went back to his half-hard member and started to stroke it, the simple touch pulling him back into an aroused state.
“Neji, d-don’t,” Shikamaru gasped, throwing his head back into the pillows.
Neji merely smirked and let go of the hard member and reached for the drawers on the side of their bed. Pulling out a tube of lube, he popped the cap and poured a liberal amount onto his fingers. Rubbing the substance between his fingers for a moment, Neji let the cool gel drip onto Shikamaru’s cock. The Nara hissed at the feeling. Grinning, Neji coated the member, stroking it gently as the younger male bucked into his hand, moaning in pleasure.
Once the Hyuuga deemed that the other was thoroughly coated, he put the cap back onto the tube and set it aside before he positioned himself above the other, grabbing the other’s member and placing it at his entrance.
Shikamaru started to do everything he could to stop the older male. “No, Neji, don’t.”
“Don’t worry,” Neji smiled, stilling the other’s movements and pushed onto the head.
“Neji, stop,” Shikamaru whispered, a desperate tone in his voice. “You-nnnh…you didn’t prepare!”
Neji gasped softly as the other’s erection continued to fill him. “Prepared…before…” With a quick movement, he pushed all the way down, his breath hitching as he was filled.
Shikamaru let out a heavy moan at the tight heat, his hips thrusting lightly to get further into it. His head was thrown back deep into the pillows, his eyes open wide at the stimulation surrounding his erection. His hands struggled, twisted, did what ever he could think of in order to free himself. Knowing Neji, the Hyuuga would make him come again without any thought or care towards himself. Shikamaru wasn’t going to let that happen. He couldn’t.
After having caught his breath and adjusted to Shikamaru’s size, Neji lifted himself slightly, only to slam back down. His hands came to rest on the Nara’s chest, using it to give him a form of leverage as he lifted himself again, a little higher, before bringing himself back down again. It wasn’t long before he was grunting and groaning with his efforts, his eyes locked with Shikamaru’s face the entire time. He squeezed his muscles around the other, thrilled with the deep moan he pulled from him.
Shikamaru was panting heavily and thrusting upwards against his will as he got closer to his end. He turned his pleading eyes up to the Hyuuga and caught some of his mind under control. “Neji, please…untie me. Please.”
Unable to deny the other any request, Neji stopped moving only to shakily reach behind the headboard and pull one end of the sash. Shikamaru’s wrists were immediately loosened from their bonds and he pulled them away from the headboard quickly. Ignoring his protesting muscles, the Nara let the sash drop to the floor as he reached up and grabbed Neji’s shoulders. He rolled the two of them over and proceeded to thrust heavily into the other.
Neji cried out every time the other brushed against his prostate, pleasure running up and down his spine. A hand wrapped itself around his crying member and he cried out to the empty room, writhing in pleasure as the other thrust into him. He felt the member swell and Shikamaru breathed his name before hot, liquid heat started to fill him. That was enough for Neji and he released as well, his cum splattering over his stomach and chest, his insides milking the other.
Shikamaru flopped bonelessly to his side, breathing heavily along with Neji, his arm draped over the other’s dirty stomach as he slid out from the other. They merely stayed like that, enjoying their afterglow and each other’s presence. Tiredly, Neji reached over to the bedside stand and grabbed a cloth he had set there earlier and began to wipe himself off, quickly doing the same with the Nara before he threw the cloth to the floor.
“You,” Shikamaru said quietly, “are in so much trouble.”
“Why?” Neji asked innocently, looking over at the other. “Because I decided to give you more than I received for once?”
“Neji-“
“Please don’t,” the older male whispered, turning to face the other. He gently kissed the Nara before he pulled away. “I was waiting for an opportunity like this to happen. Let me get away with this…at least once.”
Shikamaru sighed and pulled the other closer, resting his forehead against the Hyuuga’s. “Baka. Remind me to get Sasuke for this.”
Neji chuckled. “I suppose it is better that you take it out on him, seeing as he drugged you.”
“Damn straight,” Shikamaru mumbled softly, the phrase coming almost uncharacteristically from his mouth. Neji merely smiled and relaxed onto the bed, letting his muscles succumb to their exhaustion. He closed his eyes as he felt the other’s breath even out. Snuggling closer, Neji felt the other’s arms wrap tightly around him and he sighed happily before he let sleep take over. He felt like the relationship was finally on equal terms.
