Nejis pov
"hmhmhm" I hummed a little tune to myself as I walked home. I was excited to get home and see shikamaru. He's going to be home before me since he got off work early.
I reached the door and flung it open "I'm home shikamaru-San!" I was met with silence. That's odd. Shikamaru always welcomes me back home. Even on his lazy days he'd yell "welcome back" from the sitting room. Somethings up.
"shikamaru!" I peaked through several doors to try and find him.
Suddenly I heard sniffing coming from our bedroom. I peaked in to see shikamaru hiding under the blanket.
"shikamaru?" I reached my hand out but he grabbed it with a panicked look on his face.
"no! Stop it! I don't want your love. I don't want it!" he was breathing fast and shaking violently. Is he having a panic attack?
"shikamaru it's ok. It's only me" I gently cupped his face the same way he dose whenever I'm scared.
"neji" he looked at me with big tears in his eyes "I can't escape her neji. I don't want her to hurt me anymore"
I didn't know what he was talking about but he sounded terrified. Maybe it's some sort of childhood trauma? Whatever it is I need to reassure him!
"shikamaru whatevers happening with you I promise that I'll stand by you and keep you safe. Your not going to go through this alone"
"neji!" he burst into tears. I lay down with him, took his ponytail down and ran my fingers through his hair while he cried into my side.
This is the first time shikamarus showed a more fragile side of himself. He always tries so hard to stay strong despite the fact that he's also hurting.
At least now he knows that he can relay on me too.
