A Troublesome Series of Events

It was only a few minutes later that they were back in the apartment and Shikamaru headed for the kitchen first, where he had left the medicine.

Naruto followed Shikamaru in an almost puppy-like way, finding Sasuke to be boring at the moment. He fiddled with the things in the kitchen, not really bothering to concentrate on much else.

“What are those for?” He asked as he saw what Shikamaru had wanted.

Shikamaru filled up a cup with water and quickly swallowed one pill before finishing the water. He recapped the bottle and left the glass in the sink then turned to Naruto.

"They're vitamins for the pregnancy," he explained. "Tsunade gave them to me last checkup to help it run smoother."

Naruto gave him an ‘ohhhh’ look, nodding his head.

“When will we like, get to see it and stuff, huh?” He asked, getting excited at the thought of seeing the baby’s heartbeat and all that other good stuff. Sasuke snorted from where he’d retreated to further in the apartment.

Shikamaru shrugged, smiling slightly. "Well, it probably won't be really formed for almost another month. Into something recognizable, anyway. But probably in a week or so a heart and brain will form."

“Cool!” Naruto said enthusiastically, pumping a fist in the air. Sasuke appeared at the kitchen entrance, rolling his eyes at the blond’s overly happy actions.

“Dobe, you need a shower.” Naruto blanched, pointing a finger at the Uchiha.

“So do you, Sasuke!” The Uchiha smirked.

“I’m not the one stuffed with cum, Naruto.” The blond faultered, swallowing and blushing as he remembered his predicament. He’d gotten used to the feeling a little while ago and then forgotten all together.

Shikamaru chuckled, smile turning into a smirk. "Just go take showers," he said. "I'll wait for you both."

He moved out into the living area to sit down, deciding he would clean later. They only had so much time and he hadn't been swimming in muck like the other two.

Naruto blushed a little more, grumbling as he began heading away before a though struck him. He bounded into the living room, almost running into Sasuke who’d had the same idea, though a lot quicker and with a more mature intent then Naruto.

“Shika, Shika, come on, you can shower too!” Naruto said, stepping around the Uchiha and grabbing onto Shikamaru’s arm, dragging him away before he could sit. Sasuke snorted at Naruto’s childish actions, but followed nonetheless.

Who would pass up showering with Shikamaru, honestly. And Naruto wasn’t so bad himself, if a little rambunctious.

Shikamaru blinked and let himself be pulled along. Besides, fighting against it would take too much energy anyway.

He sighed quietly to himself, smirk still playing at his lips. "We only have so much time, you know."

“I know, I know, but hey, you can get your back scrubbed if you want!” Naruto said cheerily, opening the bathroom door and ushering the Nara in. Sasuke came up from behind, closing the door behind him and immediately began stripping while Naruto started the shower, still talking.

“And you can scrub mine, and I can scrub Sasuke’s and we can have a soap fight--”

“Not in the eyes.”

“But gotta be careful of Sasuke’s precious Uchiha eyes, and we could wash each other’s hair,” Naruto went on, beginning to strip as he did so, not pausing in his list.

Shikamaru glanced over at Sasuke, quirking an eyebrow slightly before shaking his head. Naruto was sounding like such a girl and he could barely keep the laughter back after a while.

He started undressing, hoping it would calm him enough that he wouldn't burst into laughter.

Sasuke shook his head as well. He smirked, steeling up on the blond, pressing his groin against his backside and sliding hands over his hips and down the ‘v’ his legs created.

“--and I could give you a massage and--"

“You can get fucked against the bathroom wall,” Sasuke mimicked Naruto’s near sing-song tune, stroking at his limp cock as he said so. Naruto shuddered and blushed, knocking his hands away.

“C-come on, let me get cleaned up from the last session before we do that again!”

Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he moved past them and into the shower. "Or later tonight, since I doubt we have time for that," he pointed out.

Sasuke shifted his jaw to the side, pouting as he let Naruto slip into the shower, sighing.

“For being so lazy you’re awfully punctual.” He said before climbing in himself. The shower wasn’t all that big, but it was big enough that if they’d wanted to stand and not touch they could. Sasuke reached forward, rubbing his chest against Naruto’s back as he went for a hand-held scrubby along the wall, causing the boy to shiver.

“Want me to wash you now, Na-ru-to?” He purred into the shell of the others ear.

"And you want to, knowingly, make Sakura angry?" Shikamaru asked, smirk widening. He watched the two of them before grabbing the bar of soap to wash up.

Sasuke chuckled, rubbing the rough surface of the thing along Naruto’s skin without soap, leaving it a shiny redness that begged to be kissed. He bent at the waist, pushing on Naruto’s back to make him bend as well.

“She won’t hit two out of the three of us.” He said nibbling Naruto’s ear as his hands traveled to his inner thigh, making him squirm against Sasuke.

Shikamaru just shrugged slightly, making an indifferent noise. He pointedly looked away from the two, knowing if they started to do anything, he would get aroused too and it would be another hour in the shower.

Sasuke nudged Naruto forward, easing him onto his knees. He licked the shell of the blond’s ear, nibbling the lobe, before speaking again, lusty eyes looking at Shikamaru.

“Naruto, someone else is still a little messy…” His black eyes were all for the Nara’s groin, nudging Naruto again. The blond bent forward, hands landing on Shikamaru’s thighs as he licked his lips. He looked up at Shikamaru, blue eyes crystalline.

“Can I, Shika?”

Shikamaru blinked then looked down at Naruto. He shifted his gaze onto Sasuke for a second before looking back at Naruto again. He nodded slightly, shifting his stance a little for more balance.

"Uh, sure..."

Naruto grinned, immediately licking up any traces of spend he could find along Shikamaru’s limp shaft, lapping all over the tender skinned sac. He jumped when he felt a hot slickness at his entrance, twisting to see one of the dirtiest sights he’d ever seen. He groaned.

Sasuke was behind him, leaning down so his wet black tresses caressed Naruto’s spread cheeks, tongue flicking out against the cum stained hole.

Shikamaru shivered, swallowing thickly as he watched the two, not able to keep his eyes from Sasuke's tongue barely dipping into the blond's hole. He bit his lip, trying to stave back his arousal.

Sasuke glanced up, lips curling at his audience. He bent down a little, running his tongue up from the smooth skin behind Naruto’s balls until he was back at the dirtied entrance, delving his tongue in with great relish.

Naruto turned, cheeks a bright red as he tried not to squirm, his legs spreading a little wider for Sasuke as he bent to continue licking at Shikamaru’s shaft.

Shikamaru couldn't hold back a small groan, shiver growing into a shudder. It didn't take long before his arousal started to become noticeable, an erection starting to form under Naruto's administrations.

Naruto continued his actions, lifting his head up once Shikamaru was up again. He lapped at the cockhead, drinking in the salty fluid as it started dripping down. His hands moved to cup the Nara’s sac, massaging along with his tongue.

Sasuke flexed his fingers on Naruto’s ass, delving his tongue deeper and swirling it, feeling the blond shudder around him.

Shikamaru leaned back and pressed his hands to the wall, keeping himself up as he felt his knees try to buckle under him. He closed his eyes, not bothering to fight and keep them open.

"N-naruto," he muttered through another groan.

Naruto moaned in answer, his back curving as he arched down. He shivered as he heard a wet slurping sound, Sasuke’s tongue driving into him before pulling back.

“Naruto…” he said, trailing a hand over the blond’s hip, feeling how hard the other boy had grown. He smirked, pulling on the boy’s chest to get him to relent on Shikamaru’s throbbing hardness. He pulled them up until they were both standing. He smirked at Shikamaru, pushing on Naruto’s waist to get him to maneuver around Shikamaru’s body.

“Help me prepare him…” He said to Naruto, holding out his hand with his fingers spread, resting his wrist on Shikamaru’s shoulder.

Shikamaru automatically whimpered at the loss of warmth and stimulation. He opened his eyes, looking at Sasuke's hand before moving his gaze to Naruto's face then Sasuke's, his aroused flush deepening.

Sasuke leaned forward, kissing at Shikamaru’s flushed cheeks before moving down to his lips, pressing in an almost sweet way while the lewd sounds of Naruto suckling Sasuke’s fingers sounded above the water from the shower.

Shikamaru pressed back into the kiss, eyes closing part way as he still watched Sasuke. He ran his tongue lightly along his bottom lip as he moved his arms, wrapping them around the other two's waists, fingers dancing across their stomachs.

Sasuke kissed back, pulling his hand back from Naruto’s mouth with a wet pop. He lowered his hand, pushing for Naruto to move around behind Shikamaru. He moved his hand even lower, kissing with more passion as his slicked fingers moved to Shikamaru’s entrance, brushing his sac as he went and ignoring his cock.

“Mmm, Shika…” Naruto said softly, tracing his fingers over the boy’s sides while licking at his nape lovingly. One hand languidly wandered down, wet only from the shower water. He met Sasuke’s fingers; felt his own hot saliva rub against his knuckle as both sunk their fingers into the hot entrance.

Shikamaru shuddered, moaning softly into the kiss and fully closing his eyes. He shifted his weight, spreading his legs more and putting both hands on Sasuke's shoulders. He arched his back a little, pushing down slightly on their fingers.

Sasuke pulled back from the kiss, laying more along Shikamaru’s jaw line and neck. He began moving his finger, Naruto doing his best to move his in the opposite way, stretching Shikamaru quickly. Sasuke soon added a second finger, prompting Naruto to add another himself.

Shikamaru tightened his grip on Sasuke's shoulders, eyebrows furrowing a little as he bowed his head. He took a deep breath, willing himself to relax faster.

Sasuke moved to kiss him again, his free hand cradling Shikamaru’s sac. Naruto nibbled along his ear, running his hand up, circling around to the front and tweaking a nipple. He added a third finger, Sasuke holding back as he moved to grip Shikamaru’s now leaking member, stroking, distracting.

Shikamaru's eyes fluttered a little and he groaned, rocking his hips forward. He returned the kiss, nipping at his lip to distract himself more. He shivered again, feeling the knot in his gut tightening quickly.

Naruto nibbled at Shikamaru’s ear lobe, whispering something low and soothing while he rolled the nub between his forefinger and thumb. Sasuke smirked, adding his third finger and working to stretch Shikamaru even more, pushing against the ring of muscles.

“Do you think you’re ready, Shikamaru?”

Shikamaru bit his lip, holding back more sounds and nodding. He knew it would still hurt, but he didn't think he could take much more preparing either.

Sasuke kissed him again, pulling his fingers out. Naruto did the same, panting a little and nuzzling Shikamaru’s neck more. Sasuke reached down, gripping the back of Shikamaru’s legs, pulling at them gently.

“Lean against Naruto.” He whispered, Naruto’s hands moving to hold Shikamaru around the waist.

Shikamaru gave another nod and leaned back against Naruto, letting Sasuke lift his legs. He placed his hands on his hips, tipping his head back and licking then nipping at the blond's jaw.

Naruto smiled, moving to kiss Shikamaru as he slid inside, tightening his hands at the delicious warmth that surrounded his tender organ. He felt Shikamaru’s weight increase against him as Sasuke pressed forward, his erection nosing at the filled hole. Naruto hissed, Sasuke’s cock rubbing against the base of him as he slowly worked his way in. He could hear the Uchiha’s panting over the water, murmuring to Shikamaru.

“Are you okay? Not… going to fast?”

Shikamaru panted heavily, just resting his head back against Naruto's shoulder. He kept his eyes shut, knowing that if he opened them, he'd be over-whelmed, his body already in a fine tremble.

"I-I... I'm fine," he managed out.

Naruto turned and kissed the corner of Shikamaru’s mouth, holding as still as his trembling body could while Sasuke pushed up the last few inches. Naruto could feel Sasuke’s sac against his own, moaning a little as the Uchiha drew back, rubbing along his cock and balls. He heard Sasuke hiss in pleasure, moving forward again, a little faster.

Shikamaru groaned, fingers digging into Naruto's hips. He shuddered, arching slightly as his prostate was slid over. He turned his head and caught Naruto's lips in another kiss.

The blond kissed back, feeling Sasuke’s pace gradually increasing. He shivered, pulling his hips a little back, unable to keep completely still any longer. He moaned, Sasuke’s dick rubbing against him in such a good way, friction increasing as he began to move faster himself.

“Mmm, Shika, feels so good…” He groaned, pulling back to take in deep gulps and pants of air, his hands caressing Shikamaru as his grip around him increased.

Shikamaru whimpered softly, toes curling at the double stimulation. He gasped, breath catching in his throat, and his mind went blank as he cried out, cumming and spilling over himself and Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke both moaned, Sasuke biting his lips as he felt Shikamaru’s hot seed on his stomach and chest while Naruto rested his forehead against Shikamaru’s shoulder. The Nara’s orgasm tightened his muscles, pushing Sasuke and Naruto closer as they began moving faster, their own climax hitting them a few small thrusts after Shikamaru.

“Oh, god…”

“Shikamaruuuuu…”

Shikamaru groaned softly, shivering as their hot seed filled him, overflowing and spilling out even before they pulled out. He panted heavily, partially opening his eyes and gazing upwards.

Sasuke leaned in, kissing at Shikamaru’s throat, his thumbs rubbing soothingly along his thighs. Naruto tiredly lifted his head, doing the same, his hands at Shikamaru’s waist still.

“That was wonderful, ne?” Naruto said, nuzzling the Nara. Sasuke began lowering Shikamaru’s legs, easing out.

Shikamaru just nodded, smiling slightly. He tensed a little, wincing as Sasuke pulled out and could feel his muscles contracting and clamping down on Naruto at the loss.

“We’ll have to do that again sometime.” Sasuke agreed, stepping back from the other two to give them some room. He saw Naruto tense, panting a little, moving to grip Shikamaru at the hips as he pulled back.

“Fuck Shika…” Naruto said as he finally slid out from the tight constriction, slumping against Shikamaru. His arms moved to hold him again as he closed his eyes. “Was it as good as your fantasies?”

Shikamaru chuckled breathlessly, still leaning against the blond, knowing that if he put his full weight on his legs they would buckle underneath him. "Mn, better than," he muttered, looking at him from the corner of his eyes.

The blond smiled, moving to kiss him. Sasuke came up, the same scrubby he’d used on Naruto in his hand. He smirked, his own chest already clean.

“It was fun, but it leaves such a mess.” He stepped forward, starting to clean whatever was left off of Shikamaru’s chest, scrubbing softly.

Shikamaru kissed back then glanced over at Sasuke. He couldn't help but shiver a little, body still hypersensitive from his orgasm.

"You don't seem that upset by the mess anyway," he said, smirking.

"Why would I be upset after having just done that?” He said with a soft chuckle, slipping his hand down with the scrubby, cleaning over the abused hole as softly as he could while still getting at his and Naruto’s combined fluids. Naruto dropped his head back down on Shikamaru’s shoulder, nuzzling his skin.

Shikamaru chuckled, stopping and biting his lip as the rough fabric rubbed against him. He leaned his head against the side of Naruto's, trying to keep as still as possible.

"But if we ever do this again," he murmured, "we're using lots of lube."

Sasuke nodded, seeing a little tint of red begin to wash down Shikamaru’s legs as he scrubbed, swirling into the drain. It wasn’t much, probably had already stopped bleeding by now. He refrained from mentioning it, letting the other two just relax while he finished cleaning Shikamaru up.

“Definitely going to use lube.” He concluded, remembering how tight it had been. There’d been a moment when he thought he wouldn’t even fit. Naruto made a soft snuffling sound, lifting his head and giving a yawn.

“Are we all cleaned up?” Sasuke nodded, stepping back to wash the scrubby directly under the spray.

“Can you walk, Shikamaru?”

"Probably," he said, "but I'm sure it'll hurt." He started easing away from Naruto, testing out if his legs would hold up under him. He could feel his muscles strain against what he wanted to do, though.

Naruto, who’d let go when he’d started pulling away, wrapped his arms around him again before Shikamaru could put his full weight on his feet, supporting the other again. He nuzzled his neck affectionately.

“It’s alright Shikamaru, I’ll carry you.” He spoke warmly. Sasuke almost rolled his eyes at Naruto’s puppy like qualities as he continued to press and rub his face against Shikamaru’s neck and hair. He opened the shower door, stepping out first and laying out a towel so the other two wouldn’t slip on the floor before he began drying off.

Shikamaru flushed, going to protest before just giving up. He wouldn't be hurting and it made Naruto happy, too, so why complain?

He looked over at Sasuke and smirked a little. "You should wear your new clothes," he said with a chuckle.

Sasuke looked up, smirking back. He stood, leaving the room to gather one of the many outfits he’d bought with Shikamaru. By the time he came back in Naruto had gotten them both out of the shower, still holding Shikamaru around the waist.

Sasuke pulled out a pair of black underwear. With this leather, the less you wore underneath the better. The shop had actually had a section of underwear for men; which he had dubbed ‘man panties’ in his mind. Naruto’s eyes were blue saucers as he pulled them on.

“Like what you see?” He said teasingly, turning and bending over to get his leather pants. He could hear Naruto as he swallowed, staring.

Shikamaru's smirk widened, eyes glued to Sasuke, tracing the lines of his muscles as they flexed and bunched as he moved. "Mm, definitely," he said. "They suit you very well."

Naruto swallowed again, shaking his head a little.

“Hey, Sasuke, before you do that could you dress Shika? Since he can’t stand and all.” Naruto said, much to the Uchiha’s amusement. He turned around, still in only his black man panties, dropping his pants to the ground. He stood with his legs spread, hands on hips, smirking.

“Really? Maybe Shikamaru would like to borrow some of my clothing as well.” His smirk turned devious as he left to gather up some clothes for the other two, since none had brought any with them. He decided Naruto didn’t need to wear his garish orange today.

Shikamaru's eyes widened at the comment. "H-hey, I'd rather wear my own," he called out. Leather was too hot and constricting for him normally, let alone when he's already sore.

Sasuke snorted, rooting through his and Shikamaru’s clothing. He pulled out a net shirt of Shikamaru’s for Naruto along with a pair of black shorts from his own wardrobe, giving in and collecting a pair of the strangely colored boxers the blond loved. For Shikamaru he got the usual pants and a plain black long-sleeve. He smirked, placing another pair of man panties on the pile before heading back in.

He knelt in front of Shikamaru, still in only panties himself, slipping them on over his feet and moving up before he could struggle.

Shikamaru blushed, scowling slightly at the Uchiha. "Those aren't mine," he said, voice just short of whining, knowing the other didn't care. Besides, he doubted he'd look anywhere near as good in them as Sasuke did.

Sasuke, paused, about to say something smart-assed back, before an idea struck him. He smirked up at Shikamaru, pulling the black material back down before he’d even let it go.

“You’re right, how… forgetful of me. Let me go get some of yours.” He stood, leaving the two again, Naruto puzzled as to what he meant. He came back in, holding the unopened valentines bag.

“These will fit much better anyway.” He said as he knelt, tearing the bag with his teeth.

Shikamaru's blush only deepened, shaking his head. "Oh hell no," he said, "I am not wearing those." He shifted against Naruto, pulling away a little. "I'll dress myself."

“Naruto, you don’t want Shikamaru to hurt himself, do you?” Sasuke said, to which Naruto increased his waning hold on the boy, looking a little confused. Sasuke only chuckled, pulling the material out.

“It won’t hurt you Shikamaru. No one but us will see…” he held the pink things up, snickering. The panties had frilly, Barbie pink lace along the hemline and tendrils of hot pinks vines and luscious pink roses. The pink material between the stitched in vines and roses was sheer enough to be see-through, the plants seeming to become fewer and fewer the nearer to the bottom, where on a female as it was meant to be would have been where you wanted the sheer material.

Sasuke quickly reached down and pulled them over Shikamaru’s feet, pulling them up.

Shikamaru settled on just pouting, slumping back against Naruto. "And that's three more than who need to see it," he said, grumbling. At least he knew they weren't going to go around talking about it. He would probably leave the village if Ino ever found out he'd actually worn them.

Sasuke finished pulling them up, laughing. The way it was, Shikamaru’s balls were covered in powder pink and his dick looked like it was wrapped in pink vines, his hips and thighs hugged by the frills.

“I think you look luscious.” He said, controlling his laughter just barely. Naruto, still a little lost by it all, blushed. The way Shikamaru was in the panties was just so… dirty. He averted his eyes, waiting for Sasuke to finish dressing Shikamaru.

Shikamaru scowled and waited until Sasuke had turned to get the rest of the clothes to kick at him, force just short of causing any lasting damage.

"Teme," he muttered, using Naruto's pet-name for him. It was worth the sharp twinge of pain that ran up his spine, he decided.

Naruto couldn’t help but laugh at Shikamaru’s actions, tightening his hold when he felt the small tensing that he knew was pain. Sasuke turned back with a grin on his face, the normal clothing in hand.

“Petulant little princess, aren’t you?” He said as he pulled the shorts up, covering the pink up for the boy. He stood, pulling the shirt on over Shikamaru’s head as well.

The Nara's scowl only deepened at the comment but otherwise ignored it. He lifted his arms, putting on the shirt himself before Sasuke could do it himself.

"Did you bring in a hairtie?"

Sasuke took a step back, shaking his head in the negative.

“Your hair looks better down.” He said, smirking again. Naruto shifted where he was, still nude.

“Uhh, Sasuke, can you hold him?” He asked, rocking back and forth, bringing Shikamaru with him since he still had a hold of him.

Sasuke nodded, stepping forward and wrapping his arms around Shikamaru while Naruto let go, groaning at what Sasuke had brought him.

Shikamaru sighed, now leaning against Sasuke, and rested his forehead against the Uchiha's shoulders. "It's too troublesome when it's down," he muttered. He knew he was basically just whining by now, but he didn't care.

Glancing over at Naruto's groan, he snorted. "Hey, you could be wearing girl's underwear," he pointed out.

“I guess…” Naruto said with a pout, pulling the black shorts and netting on after his boxers, covering his only bit of color. He came back lifting Shikamaru from Sasuke’s arms.

“Hot potato, hot potato…” He sang softly, chuckling. It seemed like Shikamaru was getting passed around a lot. His chuckling stopped when he saw Sasuke pulling on leather pants that shouldn’t have been able to fit they were so tight, a loose blue shirt going over his upper body that reminded the blond of their Genin days. If Sasuke had been wearing leather pants back then, that is.

"Are we ready?"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes slightly, just relaxing against the blond and closing his eyes for the moment. He opened them again at the question, glancing at him. "Aside from my hair and our shoes, I think so."

He didn't want to be carried across the town but it's not like he could just not show up.

“Our shoes don’t take long to put on at the door and does your hair really bother you that much?” Sasuke asked, chuckling.

"Yes, it does," Shikamaru said, pouting a little. "Why do you think I always keep it up? It gets in the way too often."

Sasuke ignored the urge to kiss Shikamaru’s pout, instead laughing lowly and turning, going to the boy’s precious hair tie.

“Hey, Shika, how do you wanna be carried?” Naruto asked while Sasuke was gone. “Cause you know, either back or arms is fine by me, right?” He shifted his stance as Sasuke came back in, impatient with all the standing around.

Shikamaru took the hair tie, smirking now, and ran his hands through his hair a few times as he quickly put it up in his usual messy ponytail.

"It doesn't matter, I guess," he said in response to Naruto's question. "Whichever would be easier for you."

Naruto nodded, dipping down and picking him up bridal style as soon as he had his hair up.

“Okay, to the shoes and then off we go!” He said, walking out and to the front door, Sasuke trailing behind with a laugh.

Shikamaru let out a decidedly un-man-like 'eep' in surprise as he was picked up. He wrapped an arm around the blond's shoulders, expression a little grumpy again. "A little warning next time would be nice," he said, though with no venom in his voice.

Naruto and Sasuke both laughed this time, Naruto setting Shikamaru down as he got his shoes on.

“Sure thing, Shika, sure thing. Do you want me to get your shoes?” He asked, both of the boys waiting on Shikamaru now.

Shikamaru nodded at the question, trying not to pout at their laughter. He was sure it would've been funny to him if the roles were reversed, so he didn't really care much.

Naruto quickly got Shikamaru’s shoes for him, putting them on for the other boy, smiling. He leaned up, kissing Shikamaru on the forehead, blue eyes bright.

“You’re cute when you pout, Shika.” He moved to the side, placing his hands at Shikamaru’s back and legs. “Gunna lift you now.” He warned with light humor in his voice before standing, bringing the Nara with him. Sasuke walked by, leaving the door open behind him. Naruto couldn’t keep his eyes off of the leather clad Uchiha ass, forgetting about his netting until the outside air hit him.

“How did you ever wear this all the time? I feel so exposed!” Naruto complained ad they finally began heading to the memorial stone.

Shikamaru blushed a little, letting his hands rest on his stomach, arms crossed at the wrists. He glanced up at Naruto and shrugged. "I had the jacket on then too," he said.

Sasuke snorted, just a little ahead of them as they ran at a fair pace towards their destination.

“You actually considered that a jacket?” He asked, glancing back as they drifted from one roof to another. “About the only thing that hid from wandering eyes were your shoulder blades.”

Shikamaru smirked, looking back over at Sasuke. "You say that like it's a bad thing," he said, teasing. "Besides, you get used to it quickly and it's not like seeing a guy's chest isn't normal."

Sasuke laughed outright, the three of them reaching the memorial stone.

“Your chest was about the only one being seen back then on a regular basis.” Sasuke said before a furious yell could be heard.

“YOU’RE LATE!"
