Shikamaru leaned his chin into his palm, sighing to himself for possibly the hundredth time. Naruto’s fingers hovered in place for a moment before retreating, a frown of concentration firmly fixed on his face. His fingers hovered again, twitching slightly, and finally—finally—moved.
Shikamaru tried not to sigh aloud, lifting his hand to make his move.
“Checkmate,” he drawled, bracing himself for the inevitable cry of protest.
“No fair! I demand a rematch!”
This time, Shikamaru couldn’t suppress his sigh.
An hour later, a frown was again marring Naruto’s face, fingers idly clinking glass stones together in their bowl as he contemplated the Go board—on which there were merely ten pieces. His fingers gripped one of the stones decisively—like a beginner, Shikamaru couldn’t help but notice.
As Naruto placed the stone, Shikamaru caught his gaze. “It’s pointless. I’ve read the game to the end and you lose—rather spectacularly, I might add.”
Naruto glared. “You can’t predict my moves that easily!”
Shikamaru leaned back on his hands. “I can.”
“Fine! Let’s play something else!”
When Shikamaru totally defeated him at pool, Naruto demanded they up their bet, double or nothing. Shikamaru was unconvinced he wanted to take the bet, all things considered, but it was less troublesome to just agree when Naruto was making righteous declarations in a bar full of their fellow shinobi.
Back in the privacy of Naruto’s apartment, a deck of cards dealt between them, and several articles of clothing missing from Naruto’s person—Shikamaru having accidentally discovered the art of counting cards, and Naruto having insisted that strip poker was a billion times better than normal poker—Shikamaru decided winning was more troublesome than it was worth. So, he stopped counting, and started losing clothes.
“Ha!” Naruto declared, sitting on the floor in his boxers and pointing up at Shikamaru’s crotch while the brunet removed his own underwear. “You’re topping tonight, you lazy ass!”
‘Twice,’ Shikamaru added mentally.
