Clouds that Were his Eyes

The rain was settling around Shikamaru, his favorite spot didn’t seem so friendly right then. A chill ran through his body reminding him that going home would be better for him, but he couldn’t go home, not after that.

Shikamaru ran though the events of the evening again. It had stared out without much trouble. He had gone out for food with Asuma and Chouji and was coming home late. He was expecting the normally troubling call of his mother in worry, but that’s not what he found when he came in. It was too troublesome to announce his presence to the house. He walked towards the kitchen where he could hear voices. More specifically, his mothers raised voice.

“How can you be so happy about this Shikaku?” She yelled.

“What is there to be upset about? It’s not like it’s a big deal.” His father asked in a bored voice.

“What do you mean?! This is a very big deal.”

Shikamaru stood outside the doorway of the kitchen listening to his parents fight. He has learned if he didn’t listen to the argument it would be a long time until he learned what they were talking about.

“Another child is a huge deal, I never even wanted the one we already have.” His mother continued her objection. “If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be here. If it wasn’t for Shikamaru I never would have married you.” He was getting angrier with every word she said.

Shikaku and Shikamaru had nothing to say. Shikamaru could feel himself start to cry, he had to get out of that house. Running he got out of the house and headed to his favorite spot to watch clouds, but when he looked up at the sky was dark and rain was beginning to fall. The cold drops chilling him to the bone.

Now it made sense to him, he had the answer to his most frequently asked question. “Why did you marry mom?” It was because his dad knocked her up . He cried like he never had before.

He couldn’t bring himself to go home. He couldn’t go back there and face them knowing what he knew now.

Sitting there he got colder and colder. He pulled his knees up to his chest and hugged himself, hoping that someone would find him, since it had become too troublesome to move on his own.

Neji spotted someone on the rooftop. He was on his way home from a mission and happened to see a figure in the pouring rain. Something about this figure made it impossible to juts pass it and go home. Slowing he landed on the roof. Slowly he made his way to the curled up form that somehow seemed familiar.

“Hey?” He called out when he was close enough to touch the others shoulder. “You’ll get sick if you stay out in this kind of weather.”

Shikamaru looked up from his knees to the other person now on the roof top. “Neji?” He asked confused. Why would Neji of all people stop and talk to him. They knew each other sure, and done plenty of missions together, but they were only partners in work, nothing more.

“Shikamaru.” He sounded surprised. “Why are you out here in this?” He asked, his hand reaching out to touch Shikamaru’s shoulder.

Shikamaru just looked at him in wonder before he started crying again in a new abandon.

Neji got upset, thinking his actions where the cause of Shikamaru’s outburst. “Hey it’s ok.” He told him trying to calm him down.

“It’s not you.” Shikamaru choked out, before once more.

Neji frowned at the other boy before pulling his arm over his shoulder and helped him to his feet. “Come on lets get you out of this rain.”

Neji’s house was warm and inviting after the cold rain that they had come from. “The shower is through there.” Neji said pointing towards a room.

“But you were on mission.” Shikamaru protested. “You should go first.”

“Nonsense, you’re a guest, plus I’m sure that you spent more time out in the cold then I did. Go warm up.” Neji smiled a little when Shikamaru reluctantly started walking towards the direction that Neji had pointed too.

As Shikamaru was in the shower Neji went to his dresser to find something that would fit and be appropriate from the smaller man.

He left the clothing on the bed, and went out in search of a drink. He had ling since hidden the alcohol in his house, since anytime it was out and Lee was around trouble was never far behind.

Shikamaru found he was thankful for the hot water. He hadn’t realized how cold he really was. When he got out he found that he looked like hell. Even through the steam on the mirror. Walking out he found a change of cloths on the bed. They felt warm and soft against his skin.

Neji waited for Shikamaru to come out to the living room. He had pulled out something to drink and had indulged in a few drinks. “Feel better?” He asked when he saw Shikamaru enter the room.

“Yeah, thanks.” He said walking over to the couch where Neji was seated.

“Ready to tell me what’s wrong?” Neji asked him as he held out a glass of liquor to Shikamaru, who took it before sitting.

“No, not yet.” Shikamaru said staring down into his glass, trying to find some silence in it.

“Alright then how about we just wash our problems away tonight?” Neji asked him.

“What problems do you have Neji?” Shikamaru asked.

“Ones that your probably better off not knowing.” Neji told him taking a long drink.

“Sounds troublesome.” Shikamaru said drowning the rest of the contents of the glass. Neji laughed a little, Shikamaru was right, things were just too troublesome.

The two of them continued to drink getting lost in old stories and future wishes. At least that is what they both last remembered doing, before their memories went black.

Shikamaru woke up with a splitting headache. Looking up he didn’t recognize the ceiling. Feeling a movement, and then an arm was thrown over his chest, causing Shikamaru to begin to panic. He pushed the hair out of the other person sleeping in the bed next to him. Recognizing the green symbol on the forehead of the other it hit him who was next to him.

This is when Shikamaru realized the state of their dress, and a look around the room at the items strewn around he could tell what they had done the night before.

“Neji, wake up.” He said as he nudged him.

Neji groaned before shifting away from the nudging. Then coming to attention, he looked around in shock and tried to remember the night before….TBC
