I love itttt. Thank youuu.

I multitasked today. Spent the first half of today doing Psych work and now I’m at a party. Yes I did pause what I was doing to read this and I’ll definitely reread it in the morning when I’m sober 😝

I loved thisss

“Thank you for covering on a short notice.” Ino says, hanging her apron on the hook as you walk into the store. “I promise to make it up to you.” Chuckling, you wave her off, walking around the counter.

“Ino, this is the exact reason your mom hired me.” Ino rolls her eyes, bumping her hip against yours. “Besides the point. I don't know what we would do without you.” Ino says, pulling you into a tight hug. “You are the absolute best.” She pulls back, twirling s sunflower between her fingers.

“When I get back, I'm taking you out for dinner.” Ino promises, sealing it as she places the flower behind your ear. “Be safe!” You call as she races to the door. “Have fun. Oh and Mr Tanaka will be by shortly for his monthly.” Groaning, you drape yourself across the counter. “Should have stayed home.”

A week passed before Ino returned to the village. A week of working extra shifts at the flower shop. A week before Ino ushered you out of the shop, demanding you go get ready for you “date”.

You frown at the word, confused why she would use that. Shrugging, you walk down the road, leading to your house. You have long since learned not to question the kunoichi.

The two of you became close friends since you started at Yamanka Flowers, even inviting you when the rest of the shinobi meet up. Ino quickly became your best friend, despite you being a mere civilian.

A rock skips across the road as you approach the restaurant, the heavenly aroma of mouth watering barbeque makes your stomach growl.

Frowning, your eyes dart around, trying to spot the familiar blonde. Not finding her, you decide to hang inside. Maybe she's already here and waiting on you.

“Um hi.. excuse me.” You say, eyes searching for any sign of your “date”. “I am supposed to be meeting someone, Ino Yamanka. Is she here yet?” The hostess hums, checking her chart. “No sorry. Looks like you're the first one here. Would you like to wait here or go head and have a seat.”

Sighing, you decide to wait at a table. What is with Ino? First, she practically shoves you out of the shop, an extra pep in her step. And now she's late. Where the hell is she?

“What are you doing here?” Your whole body tenses as you slowly look up, eyes wide. Shikamaru Nara stands in front of you, hands in his pockets and his signature bored look on his face. You have met the ninja on many occasions but never talked to him much. His presence always made your heart beat quicker, palms sweaty. What is he doing here?

“I- I’m waiting for Ino.” Shikamaru hums, sliding into the booth across you. “What are you doing?” You squeal, breath stuck in your throat. The boy huffs, head killing to the side as if this conversation was a chore. “Simple. We've been set up. Should have known when she only invited me out to dinner and not Choji.”

Ino set you up. She set you up? Why on earth would she do that? Did she know about your crush? Were you too careless about keeping it hidden?

A heat creeps up your neck as you hide your face into your hands. “I cannot believe her.” You mumble, taking a deep breath, trying to calm your racing heart. “You don't…you don't have to stay.” Shikamaru huffs, leaning back against the booth. His lips curls into a troublesome smirk. “Might as well eat while I'm here. It'll be a drag otherwise.”

Conversation flowed effortlessly thought out dinner. The sun set long go and neither of you even noticed. You talked about everything, from tales of the flower shop to even him explaining the logistics of chakra.

“Excuse me,” you look up, eyes wide as the hostess stands, smiling. “We'll be closing soon.” A flush spreads across your face as you finally realize what time it is.

“Oh I am so sorry. We'll be out soon. C-can we have our check?” You stutter, grabbing your purse. The girl shakes her head. “No need. It's already been taken care of.” Shikamaru meets your eye before sighing. “Ino.” You both groan in unison.

“Thank you. You didn't have to stay.” You say, crossing your arms behind your back. Shikamaru hums, looking up at the stars. You follow his gaze, smiling at the breath taking sight, the stars twinkle above.

“Well I should be going. Thanks again.” You sigh, not quite ready for this night to end. “I'll walk you home.” Your eyes widen, snapping in his direction. “You..you don't have to.” Shikamaru nods, eyes scanning over you slowly before meeting yours. “I know but I want to.”

Drabble, Genius

Nara's were smart.

It was pre-determimed.

Like red hair for Uzumaki's, or eyes without pupils in Hyuuga's.

They'd be born brilliant, and a little quieter, and a lot sleepier. Naturally, Shikaku Nara had these expectations for his own son.

His son wasn't a fussy baby. As soon as Yoshino placed his little behind to bed, he was out like a light. He ate whatever he was given, liked playing in the grass, chewed on his toys and then some. But sometimes, Shikaku thinks his baby pretends to sleep. He'd notice it the first time, when a toy had fallen out of the crib. Casually, Shikaku had bent over to pick it up, and met the wide beaming eyes of his son.

Shikamaru would stare. Breathe a certain way, lay a certain way. He was an actor, but even then it didn't alarm Shikaku.

Nara's were smart.

If his son turned out to be a cut above the rest, who could deny his genetic destiny?

So when his son got old enough to play outside with others, he'd allow it. Because his son's pretense was a way of being kind. 'Don't be frightened, I'm normal,' it was his way of saying that.

His son went out to play. He befriended a giddy Choji, and they did whatever kids that age do at the park. Yes, all was well. Until one evening, his son came to him holding the hand of a doe-eyed little girl.

Her face was round, cheeks soft enough to melt right off the bone. She laughed like thunder, said her name and then hugged his son goodbye. After she was gone, Shikamaru stared at him expectantly. Like he wanted his opinion.

At the time, he'd made some offhanded comment of approval.

He didn't really understand tiny Shikamaru's intentions until ten years later. When he'd made a habit of bringing her over regularly. He'd sleep clinging onto her, play shogi only with her most days. Smile only when she was around.

It was even more startling because at times, it felt like he was pretending around you too. Like if his passing touches were accidental. The way he spoke, the words he used. Like he was approaching loving you with a strategy.

And that became the moment of realisation for Shikaku Nara.

Where he'd pulled you aside awkwardly with a careful smile, a warning ready. 'Be careful,' he'd wanted to say. But you'd looked at him, big round eyes,

"It's okay. I know."

That was it.

That was all he needed to know about his little genius and the girl he'd chosen to fall in love with.

# TOO EASY

⤿ WALLY WEST loved your curls, so it was a shock to hear that you envied other people's pin straight hair.

# STUBBORN CURLS

⤿ BARRY ALLEN was the man of your dreams, and even more, but him interrupting you when you were trying to tame your hair almsot made you choke him out.

As someone who literally just spent 5 hours doing their hair, I really loved this

TAKE HIM BACK, PLEASE!

WALLY WEST & BARRY ALLEN

Three days. That's how long you managed to avoid Barry Allen following the end of your relationship with Wally. A bit pathetic, really, but you're not sure what else you expected trying to avoid a man that could move faster than light.

Why had you been avoiding Barry?

Because, simply put, even before your relationship with Wally evolved into something more romantic in nature, there was nothing worse than disappointing him.

You'd always adored Barry. He was smart, and kind, and in little you's eyes, the coolest hero ever! He'd always been so supportive of you, and a small part of you even believed that Barry had been nearly as ecstatic as Wally was when you'd started dating. He certainly acted like it sometimes.

Wally and Barry’s were so sweet that the rest caught me off guard😂 Especially Hal being a kidnapper🤣
