Shikamarus pov
A few days later
"shikamaru you've been looking real depressed lately. You feeling ok bud" my friend choji asked while we were sitting at our lunch break.
I let out a deep sigh "I've been having lovers trouble"
"lovers trouble!" ino came out of nowhere with a huge smile on her face "pray tell shikamaru"
I rolled my eyes. Bothersome women but I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.
"my lovers been very cold and distant with me lately. I'm worried they may not love me anymore"
"oh come now shikamaru that's not the case" ino placed her hands on her hips "if you girlfriends acting distance it means there's something on their mind and their afraid to talk to you about it. You need to be more assurtive and show her you'll be there for her no matter what" I chuckled to myself. Ino still thinks my lovers a girl. Well at least her advice was good for once.
"thank you both. I feel alot better about this now" I smiled at them.
"Well I didn't really do anything but your welcome" choji said stuffing his face with crisps.
*time skip*
I ran home and immediately went to our bedroom. Nejis been spending all his time there recently. I walked in and found him in the same crisscross position reading a book.
"I have your dinner in the oven shikamaru. Could you leave me alone for a bit?" he muttered without looking up from his book.
Without a word I snatched the book out of his hand and chucked it to the side.
"what the hell shikamaru!" neji stood up angrily.
"neji I can't take this anymore!" I grabbed his shoulders with tears in my eyes "you've been so distant with me lately. Talk to me neji are you sick? Are you worried about something? Please just tell me what's wrong!"
He was in stunned silence for a moment before looking at me with guilt in his eyes.
"I didn't mean to be distant shikamaru. I just have so much going on in my head and I don't know how to deal with it"
I sat down with him "talk to me darling. I can help you!"
He sighed "I got my memory back" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Nejis memory back! "it's not very clear though. I have all my memories but their not in the right order. It's like a incomplete puzzle. I've been trying to finish the puzzle in my head but it's been difficult"
"neji why didn't you tell me" I said gently.
"I was afraid you wouldn't like me anymore" he muttered quietly.
I stared at him in disbelief "neji how could you ever think that?"
"because I'm not the person you think I am" he yelled with tears in his eyes "now that I have my memories back I know that for sure. The truth is that I'm sweet or innocent. I can be mean sometimes, I like my alone time, I can be dismissive of people's feelings, I not good with social cues and I absolutely hate my family. I'm not the sweet perfect boy you thought I was. So I was afraid that when you found that out you wouldn't love me anymore"
"neji" I said softly as I pulled him into a hug "darling I don't care about that stuff. You don't have to be perfect for me. I'll still love you no matter how much you change"
"shikamaru" he clung to me as he burst into tears "I'm so relieved. This is all so scary. Please promise you'll never leave me!"
"of course I won't kid" I said as I gently rocked him in my arms "I'm going to stay by your side till the end of time"
