Y/n p.o.v

I was in me and Shika's hide-out, you know that secret room we discovered as kids, yeah, I was stalling as long as I could. I was already dressed and ready to go but I was tired from the morning since I did go to the orphanage, I spent hours there, it's a small place at the border of the capital, it's full of kids and they need a bigger space, so I might end up building them a new place, I don't want to do it to look good, I am doing it cause I want to and I know as a kid you want to run around and have your own space as well and I do love little kids.

I was sitting in the chair we had and I was looking at the sunset, it was a nice view.

I heard the doorknob move and I looked to see and of course, it's the only other person that knew this place existed, "Your going to be late, I don't want Tsarina to start yelling at anyone, we both know how that goes" he sat down next to me and I did a looked at him twice and by the third time my eyes were glued to him. "What do I have something on my face?" Shikamaru asked me, I caught my self staring "I Umm it that this feel weird, like I know us shinobi have armor in a way but this, this is completely different. He was in light armor, the ones we use here and in the other six royal nations, "They put you in that?" his gaze fell on to me and "Yeah, Your Grandmother was like 'if you're going to be her personal bodyguard, you must look the part' so she gave us all except Sakura since she will be on the floor with you and Tori, she's in some fancy dress. But of course, it was modified to have our kind of weapons. You think it's weird?"

I then felt bad for staring. "NO NO no" damn it Y/n you said no three times, he is going to think your weird. "What I meant to say was, you look very good in it" at this point I knew I was probably a blushing mess, why must my heart do this. Shikamaru then extended his hand towards me and got closer

"Your Tiara is crooked, let me fix it" I felt stupid in that moment, why did I think he was going to do that!!! Two can play this game "It's 6:45 Y/n, we need to get going, I rather have you down there early" I sighed. "Fine, but you have to be with me at all times since you did make that bold statement last night" I said while I placed my hand on his shoulder and slowly taking it off as I walked away, he just stood thereafter, I opened the door, "Come on, you're the one nagging me" he gowned in annoyance "That's because I don't want your crazy old hag on top of me!"

We walked down and pulled a lever, the wall moved and we were back in the small study room, I waited for the book shelf to go back in to place, and we exited the room, walked down the long halls, down many stairs. And we were about three hallways away from the entrance of the ballroom. Shikamaru took a left, since guards had other entrances and I had to go down the main staircase. I made my final turn and I saw my family, they were lining up to enter, at this point in my life I only had Grandmama(age:60), Great Aunt Margret (age 59), Great Uncle Charles (60), Uncle Alan (41) and his wife, Adam (17), Kendall (12), Melissa (6), Aunt Kenna (40) and her husband, Matthew (17), Aunt Vivian (23), Valencia (5), Michelangelo (23) and his wife plus baby Angelo, Leonardo (21) and his wife, Bianca (20). And that's the order we had to go down the grand staircase, but Tori goes in before me and I have to go last, by myself.
