My Cute Secret Admirer

Letter 23

Naruto Pov

Looking at the clouds I notice Shikamaru walking towards me so I sit myself up crossing my legs "I knew you would be up here" he lays next to me to look at the clouds "yeah it's the only place I can clear my head". Shikamaru replies still looking at the clouds "what's the point of coming to school if your gonna skip most of your classes" I shrug my shoulders, "you know I don't like being home alone" "yeah true" we stay in silence for a moment as I turn my gaze back to the clouds. "Your boyfriend wanted me to give you this since he couldn't find you, and he figured you weren't gonna check your locker anytime soon" he threw a letter at me and turned to his side facing away from me "also you and Kiba need to talk its annoying to hear him ask me so many theoretical questions, it's not like I can tell him anything about you and Sasuke and that's what he's mainly confused about". I nod my head while opening the letter, " I will, I just need the patience to deal with him" Shikamaru chuckled, "since when did you ever have patience when it came to Kiba" I snort, "true". Shikamaru yawns "Alright that's enough talking read your letter from your boyfriend and let me sleep" I chuckle before realizing that he said boyfriend twice, a blush crept its way to my face as I yelled, "He's not my boyfriend bastard!". Figuring Shikamaru ignored me I continue to open and read my letter before dozing off with Shikamaru next to me.

Dear Naru,

I was very confused about what happened yesterday, im still a bit confused but when I went home yesterday reread your letters and realized that Shikamaru is the only person who knows that you like me. Everyone else thinks you dislike me, so why don't you change that? Are you that ashamed that you can't even tell one of your closest friends?

I asked my elder brother what he thought of the situation and he said that you probably got embarrassed or Kiba didn't know about me and you, well whatever we are, Im sorry if you didn't want me to interfere but from where I was it looked liked you were in distress and I couldn't help but want to help you as fast as I could.

I don't apologize to people that often but for you, I would, although don't get used to hearing it from me, I have a bit of pride that I want to keep. I hope to see you tomorrow if I don't today, I already miss looking at you and hearing your voice.
